I was in the mood for a shrimp poboy so I tried Leforts. I've had their boiled seafood before but…read morenever any other food. The 10inch po-boy was $16.99. When I think about the fact that shrimp (if local) have to be peeled and de-veined, the price is reasonable. The bread was soft in the middle and lightly toasted. That's always the goal. They put a LOT of shrimp on the sandwich. The shrimp were fried well and the seasoning was good. I ate half the poboy and took my leftover shrimp to work the next day and made a taco. I saw so many softshell crab dishes being served when I was waiting. I will have to go back and try that. I do wish the desserts were in a display case away from some of the other food items they sell but that's just my preference.

The fries were just fries. The food came out hot. I also tried a small piece of the hot sausage poboy. The bread was soft and it was Patton's. There's no complaints when it comes to Patton's Hot Sausage. Theirs tasted better than some of the nearby poboy shops. The service was good. I was with a group and the restaurant was packed so, it wasn't super fast but also, not slow. I'd try this place again.

Very limited seating; there's a wait on more popular nights. Servers are friendly and efficient, if you can get a table. Crawfish eat in was $7.25/lb when we visited the first time in late March. I ordered 3# and husband had a catfish plate. Great flavor on the crawfish and catfish nicely seasoned. Fountain sodas are $3. Next visit was shortly after, to go only from their busy, busy take-out counter opposite the seating area. Lots of choices, from stuffed artichokes to potato salad, stuffed eggs (deviled eggs) and bread pudding. Just needed 3# of crawfish to wash away the day at work. Not disappointed. In and out in under 10 min. Last visit this week, unable to get a table, so got it to go: 3# crawfish (now $4.75/lb take and $6.25/lb eat in), stuffed eggs (good, regular flavor, nothing fancy - 2/$2.75), corn (3/$3.75 sweet, sweet flavor), bread pudding with rum sauce (also available w/white chocolate sauce) which we reheated and ate the next day, and a shrimp poboy ($14.25), dressed, that took several minutes to come out of the kitchen.

We continue and my mom mentions how many dead crawfish she had gotten by this point, she said she couldn't eat anymore, I though she was exaggerating, I until i had gotten about 8 dead ones myself.

Our waitress was organized and efficient. Glasses never got empty and she kept the meal well paced and moving. She was very friendly and answered all our questions. At the close of the meal, she offered to divide the bill up into separate checks(!). I think there were about five checks total for the entire group. The food was very good. I had a daily special which was BBQ shrimp & Jambalaya Grits. If you wonder what Jambalaya Grits are, think "jambalaya with grits instead of rice". It came with a little side salad that was cold and fresh. Onion rings and firecracker shrimp appetizers were tasty and very nicely done. Anecdote: coworker says that all the locals call this place "Charlie's" even though it is actually "Charles Seafood" like it says. Whatever you want to call it, I call it great. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
