    Pizza looks great!
    Matthew L.

    Came here looking for a place that the lady could get her crawfish on. This place reminded me a lot of those hotel restaurants of the past. You remember them? Like walking past the counter and straight to the restaurant where regulars would be to drink their coffee or talk about olden days. The food was good when it came to American fare, but it truly shinned in the seafood department! The crawfish were great!

    Calamari extra tentacles

    So...it's never really busy here. Underneath is the restaurant and above is an Inn...hence the name. Parking is minimal but enough for the customers that come. It's in the Jeff hwy area and this area is known for retired folks. This is my second time here. It's cute. There's a salad/soup bar for $7.95. I haven't tried that yet. I have gotten the calamari twice now. I like it a lot! It's crunchy but not chewy. There a marinara sauce, both calamari and sauce are dusted with parmesan cheese. Fried pickles is what I expect from fried pickles. Nothing too special. We also tried the stuffed artichoke! It's good! I've never had one before. Some leaves were edible. When you make your way to the middle, that's where all the edible petals are. It has a really good stuffing. Flavorful. The main reasons I come here is for their Wed/Sat night specials...$5.95 for a dozen raw oysters! Yummy! Can't go wrong with that!!! Lots of lemon wedges, salt and pepper...and go to town. It's nice and cold too! Probably be here every week lol. I can feel my cholesterol climbing! Jk! Our waitress was super nice and accommodating! She remembered me from my first visit! That tells you something!

    Crawfish and Crabs

    We stopped in for dinner the night after my wife had gone for boiled seafood with some of her friends. She had raved about the quality of the boiled seafood. We started dinner with some char broiled oysters. My wife thinks the oysters were bigger than those at Drago's last couple of times she ate there. They were good. The rest of dinner for my wife consisted of boiled crab and crawfish. That's why we went. She liked it all, steaming hot and not too spicy. I ordered the fried shrimp plate. (They also serve a platter which is basically a double order of fried shrimp.) Nice size shrimp, lightly battered, slightly seasoned. Cole slaw and fries were my choice of sides. Service from Candice was excellent. The restaurant is split into two large rooms, it was busy, but not packed. There was a steady flow of people coming and going. From the size of the onion ring appetizer, it looked like a meal unto itself.

    We had a fantastic meal here today. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection. The gumbo was fantastic as well. The onion rings were like crack. Come here with a healthy appetite!

    The ambiance of Kelley's Village Inn reminds me a groovy 70's restaurant and bar. This is a very popular spot in the area with their offering of boiled crawfish, crabs and shrimp along with raw oysters and chargrilled oysters. Seafood is also offered in the fried variety and the softshell crabs are nice. The menu also offers pizza, pasta, muffuletta, and po boys with one if the best options being Thursday steak night, They offer a lunch buffet that includes salad bar, pizza, veggie of the day and cobbler. As a great bonus there is also a nice selection of 80's video games. Overall this seems like a family friendly neighborhood joint that will have something to make most folks happy at a decent value and allow the adults to enjoy some adult beverages.

    platter with macaroni and cheese
    Carrie L.

    Such friendly service. I came in after the buffet, so it was pretty quiet. I ordered the shrimp seafood platter: huge & delicious! I got the mac & cheese for my side, the whole thing came out steaming hot and fresh. I couldn't polish it off, so it will be my dinner too. Only one small suggestion: add and old-fashioned shrimp cocktail for an appetizer. I bet it would be very popular!

    Burger with cheddar cheese

    I've been eating here for years Great Burgers , club sandwich!! The crawfish are always good an cheap price the raw Oysters are good an on Wednesday an Saturday the dozen raw are like 5.95 the Chargrilled are like 17 dollars a dozen!!! On Wednesday 11 to 2 all you can eat Jumbo Gulf fried Shrimp an other stuff on Buffet Great price!!!!

    Josh B.

    I prefer my crawfish a little more spicy but are seasoned nearly perfect! Full of flavor for sure and were juicy! Cooked for the perfect time which made them peel perfectly. Raw oysters on the half shell were great too and can't beat the Saturday special on them!

    Old crawfish  check yours before you leave!

Took an uber here since I wanted to have a few cocktails and it was really the food that sold it for me, had a glass of wine since it became all about the food once we sat down! I will start by saying we had the best server I have had in a very long time! She was a great salesperson, knew the menu and what to recommend and the kitchen did not disappoint from what she was telling us! This was such a find. Small little family place, great food, great service and then more great food with more great service! We started with the Crawfish Boudin...delicious!! Followed those up with some grilled oysters with crab meat and cheese....I was getting full so did a 1/2 oyster po-boy which was huge, delicious and huge! some Hush-puppies thrown in, some wine...man...everything was amazing! Highly recommended and of all the places I have eaten in New Orleans this is one that I will definitely be back too! KT

We had ten people at lunch and the whole experience was wonderful. Zero complaints.(!) They were able to seat us all together in a separate room. The service was great despite the large party. 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.

One restaurant that locals constantly recommended to me was Drago's Seafood in Metairie, and now I completely understand why. I ordered the charbroiled oysters along with the crawfish platter that came with crawfish étouffée, crawfish mac and cheese, and fried crawfish. Every single thing on the table was incredible. The charbroiled oysters absolutely lived up to the hype rich, buttery, smoky, and packed with flavor. The crawfish platter was just as impressive and gave me a chance to try multiple Louisiana dishes all in one meal. What really stood out to me beyond the food was the service. The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and patient with questions from someone who isn't from Louisiana and still learning the local food scene. You can tell they take pride in both the restaurant and the hospitality. The only downside is parking can get a little complicated because the place fills up fast, which honestly says a lot about how popular it is. Just plan ahead or expect a short wait finding a spot. Overall, this is one of those restaurants that feels genuinely loved by locals and absolutely worth visiting if you're traveling through the New Orleans area.

My bartender, Darryl, took fantastic care of me. Vibes in this place are very warm and cozy, I sat at the bar to the right of the entrance as you walk in. I had a half dozen char grilled oysters and a cup of seafood gumbo. I see why the oysters are so popular, they are a hit. Buttery and garlicky, the crusty bread they serve with them is a great compliment to soak up the sauce. I had originally intended on getting the chicken and andouille gumbo but Darryl steered me away from it, he said it was very salty. I trusted his word and went with the seafood gumbo instead and was very pleased with it. The flavors were fantastic, but I am gonna ding it ever so slightly as I think $8.99 is kind of an obscene price for that serving size, but at least it was good. Overall I'm very satisfied with my lunch and the service, I think if you like seafood and you're in their area, you should eat here. Edit - $9 for a pint is a little over the top too, imo. My "light lunch" was $42 before the tip.
