    Passed by a few times and never dropped in. I won't do that again. This is a pretty packed in restaurant but they are serving up some delicious food. We happened to come when it was all you can eat boiled shrimp and crab so of course I ordered that. Shrimp sometimes could be over boiled but the crab was delicious. We also got the shrimp which was crispy and seasoned and the crawfish pasta. If you're looking for down home Louisiana seafood dishes this is your place!

    Crawfish. The Best Ever

    This is the best crawfish ever. People need to get on this place. Every time I come home this is where I go. The Best!!!!

    I came with my family and my meal the pick two was the perfect option for me because I was so indecisive, Shrimp po-boy and gumbo was delicious. My husband had the crawfish it came out cold, but they warmed it up quickly. The service was good they were quite busy from the st patty's day parade, but the food came out quickly . My crabcakes weren't brought out so they gave me a complimentary to go gumbo and I was happy with that. Ambiance was good bc we were there with family it's a small seating area and only one bathroom.

    Boiled seafood for 4.

    Busy neighborhood place. Staff is very friendly. Thy jammed us at the smallest table and we ordered the biggest thing in the menu. We got boiled seafood for 4. It is about 7 pounds of crawfish, 2 pounds of shrimp, crabs, and corn and potatoes. They were out of crabs, so they assed more shrimp. Crawfish and crabs were a bit overcooked, but the food was pretty good. I will return. I do recommend the place. Ask not to be seated at a tiny table unless you're alone.

    Creamy Garlic Salad with Crawfish tails
    Nevin H.

    I usually go to another VERY SIMILAR local restaurant just down the street from Smitty's but decided to give this place a try this time. The place has a very nice and local feel. Not too loud and decorated like a restaurant should be serving locals. I purposely came in after their lunch rush and all servers were on deck and cleaning the place up. I got sat right away and greeted almost immediately. But you are now reading this review more for my thoughts on the food here. I have to say I was extremely impressed by the quality and quantity of food that I ordered. As an appetizer, I got the BBQ shrimp, which were absolutely delicious and I attacked as soon as I got to my table! So the only picture I could post, because I forgot to take it before I attacked it, was the aftermath. not much left. It was absolutely delicious and full of a lot of delicious flavors. As an entrée, I got the creamy garlic salad with fried crawfish tails. I have a picture of it and it was huge and it was delicious and it completely satisfied me. When I restaurant tries and performs this well they get my attention and will definitely have my business again. So if you're just getting into New Orleans airport, you should try out Smitty's in Kenner!

    Shrimp Poboy

    The fried artichoke appetizer is so good. I don't know how they get the batter so perfect. The shrimp Poboy was just how I like it. Soft bread, small/medium shrimp falling off the Poboy, fresh toppings.

    I started by ordering the crawfish corn chowder and I didn't like it. I can see why others do, but it's too creamy and creamy, just not a great fit for me. But they were nice about it since I barely touched it and took it off my bill. I also ordered crawfish and hush puppies. Oh my, I was in crawfish heaven. They were spicy without killing my and so yummy. The hush puppies were perfect and I ate nine out of ten but I just simply got too full to eat anymore. Great place to get you seafood fix.

    I don't know why my last post has less than 5 stars‍ I am thinking I had too many beers with those great tasting crawfish. Smitty's you guys are great and your boil seafood is excellent I'm so sorry I can't say much about the other items on your menu, I'm just a boiled food person. I did see someone had ordered, on my last visit, a blooming onion. I said then; I'm going to get that on my next visit. It was smelling sooo good. I am coming back this month. I have a pick up in Kenner. Thank you Smitty's Seafood for being located right off the interstate and serving THE BEST hot spicy boil seafood

    A bit on the salty side for me. If they cut back on the sodium, I'd give it a 5 star. Just my opinion.

Crawfish wise, we ended up getting 5 pounds of the Viet Cajun and 5 pounds of the EZ blend along with sides of corn, sausage and potatoes. Everything was great and had a lot of flavor, and we were pretty surprised by the size of the crawfish. I really enjoyed both flavors though if I had to pick, I would say the Viet Cajun was better and had more flavor. My table had four of us and we weren't able to finish everything. Overall, this spot was delicious and I love all of the variety. I love variety and options, so I will say that I wish there were more flavor options for the crawfish!

This is an extremely casual place, that is both a seafood market and restaurant. I chose to lunch in. The service is friendly and familiar. I felt just as welcomed as the regulars. The menu is full of tempting selections, but knew a few things I wanted. I started off with a cup of seafood gumbo. After the first bite, I regretted not getting a bowl! Next time! It was rich and flavorful, and was clearly not rushed. Next, I also tried the chicken and andouille gumbo. Also excellent, but just slightly shy of the seafood version. The main portion of the meal was what I came for: the crawfish boil. I asked for spicy, and was informed there was only "just right," and they were correct. Initially, I was surprised that the dish came out warm, but not hot, but that, too, was just right. Oh, and the price! Usually, when you see "market price," you expect to lighten your wallet a bit, but in this case, that meant $5.99 for pound. It's crawfish season, I'm told, but still.... I'm used to paying a lot more. The decor is vintage jazz festival posters. Also, since this Women's History Month, the place is women-owned

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.
