    BBQ Shrimp with corn potatoes and sausage and french bread

    I recently ate here with my family after getting a recommendation from a friend and the food was amazing! We ordered: Charbroiled oysters both the original (Cheese & garlic butter) and the seafood (Seafood stuffing, cheese & garlic butter). The original was a 4/5 it was well seasoned. The seafood was a 5/5 the seafood stuffed highly enhanced the flavor. If you have to choose one go with the latter. It also came with slices of French bread. The flavor was very robust. Seafood Gumbo, this was very delicious. The rice was well cooked and the gravy/soup was seasoned in a delicious way. You can't go wrong with this. There was a decent amount of meat and shrimp in it too BBQ Shrimp with potatoes, sausage and corn. This was very good. The shrimp was huge and a good portion sized. The accompany sides that was added was good. The sausage wasn't spicy just to note. The corn was boiled and flavored well Stuffed crab, this was crabbed stuffed with shrimp and seasoning. This was very tasty and was surprisingly enjoyable and so delicious. You get two servings with seasoned fries. Kids Meals Popcorn Shrimp, Chicken Tenders, and Chicken nuggets. The kids loved their meals. The shrimp has a great flavors and all the kids loved the seasoned fries. The tenders were plenty full about 6 the nuggets were about 8. More enough to stuff you child full. The popcorn was plentiful as well. Service started off string but faltered as the dinner crowd came in. Other than that this would be a 5 star review. I would come back here and I recommend the food strongly.

    Everything goes well every time! The service is excellent the food is excellent and who doesn't appreciate stuff animals! lol Our go to spot when we're looking to enjoy boiled seafood away from the house. I've never charbroiled crabs before that was good and different. I'm not big on cheese with my charbroiled stuff but they seem to get it right here.

    We ate a pound of boiled shrimp and my man who isn't adventurous went with the fried shrimp basket. Wonderful food and service. The Deco is interesting and inviting.

    Perino's is one of our favorite spots for crawdads. These were so flavorful and juicy. The oysters were super as well. Service is always friendly and attentive. You don't have to wait long for the crawdads, they just keep them coming. It's over the bridge from the city so best visited if you have wheels. Call first to make sure they have crawdads as the season is limited.

    Haha Delicious gator just came from seeing them in the swamps to eating them. And man both ways are great but seriously. The gator is very tender the crawfish was great the beer was great. Our waitress was sweet and was great. My guy kept saying they gave him a whole lot of gator and that is all he wanted while visiting in Louisiana. Very very hospitable people here. I like a good restaurant with good conversation and good food and you can't go wrong. With all of that. I like giving 5 stars where 5 stars are due but they deserve a + 10. And not pricy at all. Good amount of food for a good price bravo. I forgot to take photos of the food because we were too busy eating. I can't wait to come back in May. My family will love this place. See you soon

    It's a Monday around 7. Dinner rush left, only a few tables of folks. Brenda greets us and quickly gets out drinks. We order and are very hungry. In 6 minutes we get the best onion rings ever! Everything else gets to our table in 9 minutes. Food is perfect. Brenda is perfect. A perfectly tasty dinner.

    Seafood Charbroiled Oysters!

    Never disappointed, the food is always delicious! Consistently good and never fails to hit the spot.

    Superior Seafood was another amazing dining experience during our New Orleans trip! I had…read morechargrilled oysters at pretty much every restaurant we visited, and theirs were definitely some of my favorites... juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. We started with the steak tartare and stuffed mushrooms, and both were absolutely delicious. My hubby had the redfish, which he really enjoyed, and we also loved the desserts! We literally inhaled the food, I didn't even take many pictures because everything was that good! This was our second visit to Superior Seafood this year, and it definitely won't be our last. Great food, great flavors, and a place we'll happily keep coming back to. 10/10!

    Still a Favorite, But Definitely Pricier…read more We went back to Superior Seafood Friday night with my husband and daughter. We've been here many times over the years, but it had been a while since our last visit. We started with the crawfish beignets and spinach & artichoke dip--both were delicious! I especially love the tortillas they serve with the dip, along with salsa and sour cream. For our entrées, my husband had the redfish topped with crab meat, my daughter had the 12-oz steak frites, and I had the seared scallops with green beans. Everything was good overall, and my daughter especially loved her steak. Each entrée also came with a small salad with a light dressing and a couple of marinated olives, which I really enjoyed. The one disappointment was the lentils that now come with the redfish. My husband remembered the dish coming with potatoes, which he preferred. I tried the lentils too, and neither of us was a fan. The restaurant was packed, but we only waited about seven minutes to be seated, and the lively atmosphere didn't bother us at all. Our server was friendly and attentive despite how busy it was. My biggest takeaway, though, was the price increase. Many entrées are now $35-$40+, and by the end of dinner, we realized we had spent quite a bit for three people--enough to make us think we could have eaten at a higher-end restaurant for the same price. Still, we enjoyed our evening and would recommend Superior Seafood. We especially like coming here for happy hour and sitting at the bar, which is probably our favorite way to visit!

Our server, Christopher, was very attentive, suggested wine pairings, and gave us great recommendations. We started with the charbroiled oysters which is a must. They were large and charred to perfection on the outside grill, topped with parm and breadcrumbs. My friends ordered the filet and the gulf fish, and I had the charred cabbage entree, with a French gerwurztraminer blend. The mushrooms with the blue cheese sauce were so rich and delicious! Sweet treats were a no brainer. The blue cheese flan was creamy and decadent. A perfect ending to the meal. This is so far my fave restaurant in New Orleans. It's an honest, no BS creole inspired cuisine. 100% coming back soon!

And yet again, I am so thankful for Yelp steering me in the right direction yet again! A short Uber from the French Quarter brought us to what I believe is such a special hidden gem! The moment you step into Atchafalaya, you realize it. Ambience is amazing, quirky, cool, homey and cozy. Staff is amazing. We sat in our own private room and were treated to a very special delight of a dinner. I tried the incredible fried green tomatoes, the seafood soup (?) and the incredible steak...wow, everything was amazing. And not only did Chef Christopher Lynch come out to say hello to my Autistic son but the owner Tony Tocco did as well and it made his day! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

    I normally don't make posts like this, but this experience was too disturbing not to share…read more   On Saturday, August 22nd, I purchased gumbo from Cajun's Seafood located at 1479 N. Claiborne Ave. in New Orleans. I had already EATEN part of my gumbo before discovering what appeared to be aGerman cockroach in my food.   But honestly, what happened when I went back to the restaurant IN PERSON disturbed me almost as much as finding the roach. I walked back in with the gumbo and attempted to physically show the woman (not sure if she was the same woman I spoke to on the phone) who appeared to possibly be an owner or manager exactly what was in my food. Before I could even really show it to her, her response was, "I don't need to see it. I believe you."   That reaction completely threw me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was no shock. No apology. No urgency. No "let me see what you're talking about." She didn't even seem interested in looking at the food I had brought back. Here I am standing there with a ROACH in food that I HAD ALREADY BEEN EATING, and the response felt so casual that it honestly left me with even MORE questions.   I'm not saying her response proves that the restaurant has an infestation or that she knew about a pest problem beforehand. But I can absolutely say that her immediate willingness to believe me without even wanting to see what I found, combined with what felt like a complete lack of surprise or concern, raised a HUGE red flag for me. It made me seriously question whether something like this had happened before!   And then I learned more about the type of roach I appeared to have found. German cockroaches are especially concerning because they live and reproduce indoors, multiply rapidly, and commonly establish themselves around kitchens and other areas where food, moisture, and warmth are available. Finding what appeared to be one inside my prepared gumbo naturally made me concerned about the possibility of a larger pest issue. I WILL NEVER PATRONIZE CAJUN'S SEAFOOD AGAIN.   To be clear: I cannot personally confirm that this restaurant has an infestation. That is something for the appropriate health authorities and a professional inspection to determine, which I have contacted!
