    Oysters
    Kasey A.

    The service was decent. The food price vs quality was not. The menu is more expensive in person then on here. The seafood platter that has catfish fillets is more like cat fish nuggets. The oysters weren't served w/ lemon, cocktail sauce or horseradish. We had to ask for them, and the lemon juice was packets. Our bill was over $70 and probably should have been $40 w/ the quality of food and two soft drinks. The others patrons were all seniors and I think that may be their target audience. As a local restaurant I was looking forward to it, but quality bs price was not equivalent. The restaurant was clean.

    After driving past this place for years I finally got a chance to check it out. Staff is friendly and helpful. There is a lot of menu to look through!! Took a while to come to a decision. The crab tater tots were awesome, I do wish they had been a bit more crispy! For an entree I got the deep fried sausage which I didn't know was a thing but I'm glad I tried it!! It was delicious!!

    Went to LeMaire's simply because it was close to our hotel. First impression was not that great. When we entered two waitresses saw us. One turned and walked to the back area, the other one continued walking until she got close to the back, gave us a dismissive wave, and said we could sit anywhere. The same woman who told us to sit anywhere came and gave us our menus. She really seemed like she didn't want to be at work and was not very friendly at all. After taking our order we didn't see her for a while, and then after we got our food she sat down at a table and got on her phone. We had to wave down the other waitress to ask for some condiments. The buffalo chicken twists are nowhere close to what would you expect of them by their name. Our waitress when we asked her about it said that it was like fried barbecue chicken dip. This was nowhere close to that. This was almost like a pulled chicken barbecue sandwich, inside of an egg roll, served with sweet-and-sour sauce. It was a very strange combination that I would not recommend anybody try. The fish tacos were good, they definitely lacking seasoning. I love that they were served on these mini pita breads, but, was confused how that went with the Cajun theme. Now I don't know much about Cajun food, so, I could be wrong in assuming that that is more of a Mediterranean bread. The hubs got the Shrimp Po' Boy and was not impressed. Again it was completely underseasoned, he ended up eating it after dousing it with some hot sauce. I was really disappointed by this experience. I had heard that LaMaire's was a great place to go. Unfortunately, we just didn't get the same experience as I was others. As always, try it for yourself and see what you think. We will not be returning. Happy eating Yelpers!

    Head off the beaten path to this roadside restaurant full of Cajun flavor, Hush Puppies, Blackened Catfish, Frog Legs, and Fish & Chips. Red Lobster has nothing on LeMaire's fresh fish fare. Most things will arrive thickly breaded, so ask for guidance on what won't be breaded if you're going for a low-carb meal. I give it 5 stars for great fried food quality, friendly and fast service, and maintaining its quirky flare individual and unique to them with large hand-painted wall murals and funny little alligators posed in weird ways around the restaurant. You may even find a knight in shining armor waiting for you here. ;)

    I like catfish and was glad to find this place. The Cajun beans are really good, the coleslaw average, but the hush puppies were made of flour instead of cornmeal. They were tough, and like the catfish, tasted like they were cooked hours ago and kept under a heat lamp. Catfish shouldn't be limp and tough. The flavor was good and I ate most of it but passed on the strange hush puppies. I suggest if you eat here , ask for your catfish to be cooked fresh. I ask the waitress if they will do that and she said they would. She wasn't bothered about my order tasting like it was warmed over. I got a "sorry about that" like she hears it often. Would l go back? Probably but would ask for freshly cooked.

    1lb crawfish & 3lbs snow crab

    I really wanted to love this place. On the surface it looks like a great place to dine in, the art work is beautiful and the staff are friendly. But there's nothing really cajun here. The crawfish is dry and tasteless. The snowcrab is a bit overcooked sticks to the shell. And the boiled items are like half gone yet still present on the menu, thats a huge disappointment. Words of advice redo your menu so you don't have false advertisement. I love crab so i was going to get all the kinds. But turns out they have 3 or 4 listed yet only sell snow crab. Boooo

    Boil bag price quoted was not the price charged. Staff was very rude when I questioned the difference.

    Loved Zydeco... I was promptly greeted by a beautiful and…read morefriendly young lady "Amanda" she seated me and requested my drink order. Half a minute later Amanda returned with my drink (perfect Arnold Palmer) and a menu. She then gave me a few minutes to review the menu. Upon returning she asked if I had any question and inquired if I was ready to choose. Amanda was very knowledgeable polite and made thoughtful recommendations. Because this was my first visit I tried several different items to get the full experience. I started with a half pound Boudin Link, it was sensational. I was incredibly impressed that the Boudin was so delicious being so far away from Louisiana or Texas. I also ordered a half serving of red beans and rice with sausage, a half serving of jambalaya and a half shrimp Po boy. The Boudin came out first it was Cooked to perfection, exceptionally well flavored and served with a wonderful spicy remoulade. All of the dishes were very thoughtfully prepared, wonderful flavored, just the right amount of cajun flavors. The portions were huge even as half servings it was much more than I could eat. The cost was very reasonable and well worth it. While the meal was excellent, Amanda's attentiveness and genuine concern for customer satisfaction made it a perfect dining experience. I look forward to going there again and again.

    I live out of town and I had to wait 2 months to get here. I've read their menu so many times I…read morecould pass a test about it. I love oysters and can't find anywhere near me to order them. See the crumbs in my basket they are not crumbs they taste like boiled canned oysters that at been breaded. They were tasteless and I keep eating one after the other hoping to get an oyster taste. All I could get was a greasy breading taste. You can also see the excessive grease in the basket too. Worst meal I've ever eaten. Plus it was expensive and this was the appetizer. The ambience was nice very festive and the waitress was kind. But the food was terrible I'm surprised they would even charge people for this. Left there sick from grease and I mean really sick and I kept belching oysters it was horrible.

    We normally go to Krustaceans on 9th St.....but decided to try this place. Though I'll speak well…read moreof this place, the cost/value of this place - will (still) have me endorsing Krustaceans in Columbia. The seafood at this place, was cooked very very good. The quality of the seafood was a very clean tasting seafood. Even the shrimp had a nice clean flavor. And we're you looking for butter? Oh, they do (not) spare the sticks of butter at this place! The potato. Oh yes, I said "potato". I have never had a seafood bowl - have (just) a single potato. The potato tasted absolutely great. But 1 potato? That was a joke - especially after you see what these items cost! The garlic butter: There was plenty of butter. Tye flavoring of the butter, certainly was unique of sorts. Seemed to have (possibly) a chili powder base. And though I thought it was good...I also got tired of the taste, after a bit. The Big Downer at this place: Cost. You see my (2) platters. Add (3) cans of Coke - the cost was $150.00. Yes, that's correct: $150.00. Sure, there's a whole lobster on one of the platters. BUT, it wasn't that big by any means. And let's remember: 1 potato was included in the platter. 1 small red potato, came with it; at that price! Lol. Conclusion: Krustaceans is where you should go - for the seafood boiler platters. A much better combination of quality, value and price.

There was a 5-10 minute wait to be seated which was not bad at all. Of course this was off season, so can't imagine what peak season is like here. Waiter knew his stuff well. Explained the specials and what to expect. I ordered a sirloin steak. Medium rare. Ordered it with fries and the veggies off the day. We got our Caesar salad and it was good! About 10-15 minutes later got our meal. Fries were perfect. Veg was nice. Steak however was medium well. I brought it to the attention of our waiter and he promptly apologized and took it back. Got a new one back in about 10 minutes. Steak was medium well again. I mentioned this and he offered to take it back, but I refused. Kinda disappointed for a steak spot that they can't cook to temp perfectly. It was fairly tough to cut through and could have used more seasoning. The sear and grill marks were perfect. I tried my friends salmon and it was perfect. So if you come here, skip the steak and go with the fish.
