Crusty outside, super airy inside and soaks up the sauce beautifully. Shrimp were nice size and perfectly cooked. I thought the sauce was lacking in flavor and was too heavy. They did throw in lemon wedges but it did nothing

He told us about the specials and my mouth was drooling when he said soft shell crab. We started with the smoked salmon dip which was so creamy and delicious. For entrees the hubby had the blackened drum topped with blackened shrimp over Brabant potatoes. He was kind enough to give me a bite and oh boy it was so good. I, of course, had the fried soft shell crab special over smoky asparagus. The crab was topped with more crabmeat and a beurre blanc sauce. The crab was cleaned so well and then lightly fried. It was a very fat crab and every bite was a culinary delight. This was by far the best soft shell crab dish I have ever had. I certainly don't say that lightly because I eat soft shell crabs from the start of the season right up to the end. We were so full that there would be no need to eat dinner. Then Vince of course mentioned the desserts and we chose the chocolate peanut butter doberge cake with chocolate ganache. We told him to make it to go and do not open the box when he brought it to the table! Overall, Station 6 treated us to one of the best meals we have ever had. We're locals and our favorite pastime is eating out at locally owned restaurants. Station 6 is definitely ranked in our top 3!!

We were seated quickly but you will have to speak up to carry on a conversation at your table if that bothers you. Anyways, drinks were fine, I had a Canebreak that came out in this huge thick chilled chalice. We ordered the voodoo rolls for the table which are like cheesy crawfish egg rolls. They're were pretty good, a little light on the seasoning but it was cheese and crawfish in a fried wonton wrapper, what's there not to like? For my entree, I ordered the catfish loozianne. It's crawfish stew with a scoop of rice topped with a piece of fried catfish. They also serve it with a cup of crawfish corn chowder or gumbo. I ordered the gumbo but they brought me a cup of chowder. I'm not one to complain so I was gonna eat it anyways. The chowder is good but once the server recognized the mistake she brought me a cup of gumbo, and I enjoyed the gumbo far more than the chowder but both were good. The catfish loozianne was very good as well. The crawfish stew is rich and hearty, and the fish was well seasoned and fried perfectly. Overall I had a great meal, I think you should check this place out.

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.

The inside is always spotless, every time I visit. The staff are so friendly and are always ready to take your order. They're currently selling crawfish for $4.59/lb (it's $9+ in Houston). The gumbo is to die for! The roux is made with love and it is very meaty and every scoop fills your spoon. They have a wide range of other menu items and everyone, that I know, who has eaten here always leaves very satisfied. They also have a fully stocked cooler with a wide range of sodas, water, juices, and drinks to wash down your meal. They close at 7pm, so I would recommend getting there as soon as possible. When ordering they also give you a ticket number and that keeps wait area running in an orderly fashion, especially during busy times. They also provide seating, so that you can rest your tail while you wait. I've actually eaten here 4 days in a row and today will make day 5. The food is so good, I haven't cooked in over a week.

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.

We stumbled upon J&J on Yelp while visiting from out of town for a volleyball tournament. The reviews were great, and the fact that it's a standalone, independent restaurant -- not a chain -- made it even more appealing. We were so eager that we pulled up before they even opened and waited in the parking lot. No shame. Here's where we went wrong: we hadn't done our homework. J&J is takeout only -- no dine-in. Since we were heading out of town that same day with no hotel room to return to, sitting down to eat simply wasn't an option for us. We had to make the tough call to find somewhere else. But here's what made all the difference -- the gentlemen who opened that morning were absolutely wonderful. Despite our situation, they welcomed us in without hesitation, made sure we had a place to sit while we figured out our next move, and never once made us feel rushed or like an inconvenience. When we explained we'd have to leave, they were completely gracious and understanding about it. Warm, genuine, and patient -- like a family member who's just happy you stopped by, even without calling first. I left without eating a single thing, and I'm still thinking about this place.
