Food is great & service is very good :: great raw oysters & grilled: fried seafood platter is the biggest thing around:: cold beer

Deanies Is a must stop for me when I go home to New Orleans at least once. I start with literally the same thing every time which is the Onion Rings. There was a restaurant when I was younger in New Orleans that's gone now called Fitzgerald's. Was on the lakefront area and was known for their seafood. My sister was a chef there and we would always get different things from them on the regular. Deanie's reminds me of those good old days. My favorite is probably the seafood platter and it is huge. I usually eat there when I go to New Orleans with my mom and my sister and it's more food than we need as we bring home as much as we ate. The Seafood Boiled Potatoes that come out as in appetizer for the table is a great touch and I actually look forward to it. I do remember eating there once and having the white beans with shrimp. I had never heard of such a thing but it was the bomb. read more

The shrimp didn't taste fresh. They tasted more like leftover, previously cooked shrimp that were then battered and fried. The catfish was a bit better, but only marginally so. Maybe the oil wasn't hot enough or something, but the seafood also lacked crispness. It wasn't soggy, but it seemed reheated? The food was also very bland and even lacked salt. Service was fine and the restaurant looked clean. The food, though? Very disappointing. read more

Deanie's Restaurant & Bar in New Orleans East is often confused with the other Deanie's Restaurant group that currently has locations in Bucktown, The French Quarter and The Garden District but there is zero connection between these restaurants. So we have to emphasize again that this Deanie's Restaurant & Bar has no relation to the other Deanie's Seafood Restaurants (other than a shared name) which the confusion seems so strong that many have just started calling this joint "Deanie's on Hayne" to differentiate it from the better known and larger restaurant group. So "Deanie's on Hayne" or Deanie's Restaurant & Bar traces its history back to the mid-1960s in the Warehouse District of New Orleans. Deanie's on Hayne opened in its current location the 1970s, when the fishing camps on Lake Pontchartrain along Hayne to Little Woods were beginning to disappear. The bad news is that Deanie's on Hayne has very limited serving hours being open 11AM to 4PM Monday to Thursday and on Friday from 11AM until 8PM so most folks are mainly going to get lunch here and maybe an early dinner on a Friday. The good news is that Deanie's on Hayne has rotating daily specials and they have a HUGE selection of different items everyday. You really get an amazing variety of so many things which are prepared in many different ways. They have a large bar here if you are a solo diner and then they also have plenty of table seating options as well. They really pack a HUGE amount of great stuff into what looks like a relatively modest building from the outside. You get good food, great service and a nice environment along with most other things you would want in a dining experience all wrapped up into a nice package here. Overall this place is a definite place to put on your list for a future visit and once you experience it you will likely return for more.

I Loooooove Deanie's!!!!! I basically order from the one on Hayn Blvd because I live in that area,but I have visited the One in the French Ouarters,both are very clean along with an amazing atmosphere that invites you to eat until your heart is contented,the Seafood is the BEST,and there's always enough to take away!!! Thanks Deanie's I love y'all read more

The restaurant is a great little staple. Great gumbo and other dishes. And the service is always spot on!

Ordered and stuffcrab plate The stuff crab was not hot the greens beans were to different colors the you can tell the older ones were soft and the new ones were crunchy ‍ it's awful, only reason I went was to give a second chance the first time was not good at all. Service was great read more

Great reason to visit New Orleans East. This restaurant is great for dine in and carry out. Deanie's offer good, consistent, and affordable food. They also give generous portions. I recently went here with my friend. I got the breaded veal, macaroni and cheese, squash, and salad all for $11.95. The entire meal was good and I had plenty left to take home. The macaroni and cheese was the standout dish for me, super cheesy and tasty. My friend got the bang bang shrimp wrap with twisty fries all for $11.95, she was thoroughly pleased with the meal. Our entire meal was only $31.45, now that's a deal! I definitely recommend this restaurant. Good location (on Haynes Blvd) and plenty of parking. read more

Haven't been here in about 20 years! Would always pass Deanie's but thought they were closed, well that's because they are only open Monday-Friday from 11am to 4pm. I was glad to support this New Orleans East restaurant, it is truly a hidden gem. They have your typical New Orleans seafood dishes and great lunch specials. I had the Bang Bang Shrimp Wray with Twisty Fries. Being a fry lover, the twisty(curly) fries were on point. The wrap was tasty. It reminded me of a shrimp po boy dressed, just on a tomato wrap, don't quote me on the wrap. I tried my friend's veal and squash, also came with Mac and cheese. The veal was tender and fried in Italian bread crumbs, a must try. Squash was the veggie served with it and they were simply cooked to my liking. I can't wait to try some other lunch specials. If you are in the area during lunch, you should give them a try. Until me meet again! read more

Stopped in for an under $15 lunch had a chicken Parmesan and a side salad with a fresh glass of homemade tea. The cook knows all too well how to fry let me tell you this piece of chicken was fried perfectly. As for portions I took half of it home as it was just too much to eat served on a bed of angel hair pasta with the red sauce. read more

I was surprised to have a disappointing experience, as I was excited to try another Deanie's location. We ordered a redfish lunch special and a shrimp po boy to go, then waited a good 20-30 minutes for it to come out. The place was not crowded. One of the servers had no mask whatsoever, and the other had one that was below her nose. One of the (maskless) cooks walked through the dining room, evidently on a grocery run for canned corn (which he completed during the time I was waiting for our food to be prepared). The food was mediocre when we finally received it. The redfish was meh/dry and the poboy was not overstuffed. However, the smothered green beans (green beans with tomato sauce and sausage) were good, as was the side of French bread. The staff was friendly. Maybe it was an off day? read more

Off the track of other restaurants, I found this one by referral. I was pleasantly surprised by the feast, service and that down home look and feel. Highly recommend this one! I had chargrilled fresh oysters, grilled chicken salad, hint, come hungry if you order the large it's a BIG SALAD! read more

Deanie's Restaurant & Bar - Grilled Chicken Salad - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Deanie's was actually our second choice after my friend's go-to seafood joint on the lake had closed up for the night. We were not disappointed! We were looking over the menu when The Showboat, and its $42 price tag, caught my eye. I laughingly pointed it out, along with its litany of items: four stuffed clams, catfish, fried shrimp, stuffed shrimp, fried oysters, fries, onion rings, and two salads. "Oh, so it feeds two people...wanna do that?" The only thing "two people" about the Showboat is the salads, which I think they just throw in there to lure you into a false sense that you've done at least something to eat responsibly tonight. The main attraction arrives balanced precariously on half a loaf of garlic bread, which I never got to. The stuffing in the clams and stuffed shrimp, more peppery than spicy, is marvelous! The fish is moist and tender, and the battered coating on the shrimp, oysters, and onion rings is crisp without being greasy. I'd never been a big fan of "ersters," as my NOLA native friend says it, but these changed my mind! We threw in the towel about halfway in, and even the next day the bread, some fries and a couple of onion rings went to the dogs. Not the seafood, though! You can eat at tables or the bar, which has a decent selection of local beers along with the standards. The vibe is very laid-back and local, right down to the fabulous Y'at accent of our lovely waitress. Looking forward to coming back in November! read more

Great spot on Hayne Blvd. revisited today after learning that the Walnut Room Is closed. Terrific o-rings and oysters perfectly fried. Only open during the week and a real oasis in this part of NO EAST. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.....!!!!!! read more

The food is fresh and fried perfectly. I had the stuffed shrimp which had a delicious stuffing , my hubby had the shrimp ,oyster boat. The only improvement could be the fries they needed to be crispier and a little more flavorful. Its priced the same as any typical seafood restaurant read more

My mother in law always talks about Deanies. She's a NOLA native who now lives in San Antonio Tx and misses the fried seafood she used to eat when she was younger. We decided to visit family and this place was at the top of our list to eat. We were seated promptly and the waitress was very nice. We ordered the bbq shrimp for our appetizer and it was delicious! Messy but so worth it! They give you seasoned potatoes instead of bread and I think that's so weird. It tasted ok and my son loved them but I wasn't impressed.My husband and I got the half seafood platter and my son got a shrimp platter. Everything was fried to perfection. It all kinda tastes the same after a while but that's to be expected I guess. Next time I'm gonna order a double order of the bbq shrimp and I'll be content. Will return. read more

Because of my love for the Deanies in Metairie, I decided to try this location as well... .& Both places are very different. PROS: -LOVE the traditional setting and ambience of the place.. Definitely a place to get down and grub dirty with finger licking food! (Deanies in Metairie seem a tad pretentious.. Hate that!) -Service ; very helpful & friendly -Prices -Specials CONS: -Seafood platter, not real fried oysters, more like oyster stuffing. NO soft shell crab..yet again..a crabby crab stuffing. Yep! No more cons..! All in all not a bad close to home seafood grub pub in New Orleans East. Waitress was so southerly friendly. -Yes, credit cards are accepted. -Not wheelchair accessible, but the bump isn't so bad to roll over with a little help. -Open Monday's-Thursday's&Saturday's @11-4pm, Friday@11-9pm. CLOSED Sunday's. read more

Do not get the place confused with Deanie's Seafood in the French Quarter. This deanie's has been around longer and it is better. This place is not anywhere near the tourist areas. It's in East New Olreans, where few tourists go. It's a local joint, with local food. Had lunch here and the lunch menu was inexpensive. I had the garlic bread which is DELICIOUS. Fresh made on french baguette. I had red beans and rice with smoked sausage ($5.95) and it was a huge bowl of red beans with a decent sized scoop of rice. It wasn't any different tasting than others i've had, meaning that it is good. Not outstanding. The smoked sausage is very good. Also tried the bacon wrapped fried gulf shrimp. Really, really good. Came with yellow rice that tasted just ok and some peas. This was $6.99 or so, if memory serves me correctly. It is very casual inside and the service is very very good. Friendly staff. Would def recommend if you want to stay away from the touristy areas... read more

I love a simple uncomplicated restaurant. I personally believe that time should be spent on the recipes in the kitchen and that decor is just a justification to charge more. Deanie's always reinforces my beliefs. There's no big drink menu but ask the bartender for a drink with a certain liquor or a certain flavor and you get a custom made fantastic treat. Today I wanted a drink with strawberries but not a margarita and I ended up with a strawberry and cream martini. I also ordered the stuffed shrimp and hot crab dip. Both are particular favorites of mine. Nothing like a fancy drink and some appetizers to make an afternoon special. read more

Stopped in for a very affordable lunch. This is what authentic New Orleans food is. New Orleans food isn't served in small fancy platters. It's served hot, well seasoned, and in large portions. Authentic New Orleans food is never meant to be enjoyed alone. My red beans and rice plate embodied all of these attributes perfectly, even the company!!! read more

Great fried catfish and baked macaroni special. Affordable and quick service. Very clean bathrooms.

This place is not closed! Frequently confused with the other Deanie's restaurants because the taste of the food is comparable. Although not affiliated with Deanie's in the Quarter the food is better than ever: Stuffed Crab, Eggplant and other seafood is the best in the city. read more

I regularly eat at Deanie's since I work in the area. I've rarely ordered off of the normal menu since they offer daily specials. You can view the specials on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deanies-on-Hayne/170227006448084?fref=ts I find the food to be of consistent quality and very good. The service is very friendly and prompt. Most specials are served with a side salad and bread. Specials can range from seared duck (one of my faves) to seafood pasta. Usually the daily menu features around 6-8 specials. read more

The customer service here is great. It is a very intimate little spot with carryout and bar food through one door and restaurant through the other. The menu is very limited but smart because it allows for decent quality control. The only issue I had with the food is that with the fries you could very clearly taste that they were not fried in a separate grease from all the other fried foods. Please be advised that they are limiting their hours at this location as of July11th so you may want to call to be sure they are open before you head out. read more
