This is a gem of a spot for lunch. It's located near the airport. I met an associate before a flight. The crawfish pies were lightly fried, tasty and not heavy. The catfish fillet was well prepared and the soft shell crab with hush puppies was some of the best I've ever had. The crab was extremely fresh with no hint of shell. Very well prepared. The service is first rate. They truly care about your business. My hat off. read more

We got the Seafood boat and the Eggplant pirouge. It fed 4 of us including 2 teenage boys. The fried food was done just right and service was on point. The Eggplant, which we get often was good but extremely salty compared to what we have gotten in the past. Overall we had a great experience and will be back on our next trip to Kenner. read more

This place is a hidden gem! On the way back from NOLA, stopped at Smitty's in Kenner with the family. The gumbo was very good in flavor and so were the red beans! Highly recommend both. Hamburger Poboy was good. The seafood platter and shrimp platter were very good on flavor and very filling. I'm not a huge oyster fan, but the fried ones on the seafood platter were very tasty (not too much of a fishy flavor). The stuffed shrimp had me debating if I wanted another order! Also not a huge eggplant fan, but the sauce accompanying the eggplant was a wonderful addition. The flavors complimented each other really well and the eggplant was so good. Visit Smitty's in Kenner! All of the things ordered were awesome! read more

This was the best po'boy I have ever had. The vibes and food in this place are so great. You feel so welcomed and the staff makes you feel like family. Chloe was very attentive, helpful, and nice. I'm in town from Houston and will certainly be back on my next visit! read more

Smitty's Seafood - Shrimp po'boy. So good! The bread is perfect and there are so many shrimps - Seafood Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

If I could give No Stars I would! It's not uncommon for our family to get some debris roast beef poboys from Smitty's since we've always enjoyed them - until today! All 4 poboys were nothing but CHUNKS of roast beef, NO debris in sight, and some gravy slapped on top, the inside of the beef was dry and NO flavor! My brother-in-law ordered as a side boiled "peeled" shrimp, he got UNPEELED shrimp and so salty that they were not eatable. We were so disappointed we decided to call and let them know of our experience, thinking that as a established company of many years they would CARE what their customers have to say - WRONG! TAMMY the manager told us to call back Monday and speak to the owner, she could not do anything for us but give us SOME gravy!!! NO apology, NO care in the world after happily taking our almost $80 for our order. read more

Great fish po boy. Seafood boat had a ton of food. My husband and I ate off of it 3 times and didn't eat it all. Wouldn't get it again though because we don't like the fried oysters or soft shell crab. read more

I recently got to fall in love with Smitty's all over again! We used to eat here often as a family when I was a kiddo. Over the past years we have been frequenting Smitty's again. It's a small family friendly seafood restaurant, and I hope that makes you want to visit, as they have such a wonderful atmosphere here and the food is fantastic! I have found that the crawfish pasta is one of the closest to the one made famous at Jazz Fest, and no it's not the exact same but it's unbelievably good and reminds me of Jazz Fest every time I eat it. From the poboys to the seafood platters to their boiled seafood options to the seafood pasta dishes you really cannot go wrong with anything you order here. I know they will be happy to have you and you will enjoy every moment you are there! read more

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.

Best seafood I have ever had in kenner. The waitstaff is friendly and efficient. Oh yes the beer is cold. read more

Properly clean the soft shell crabs. I do not care to eat guts, gills & tamale, my poboy was disgusting

The service was top notch. The food and tea were very good but the salad was a like it had been out to long but wouldn't keep us from coming back for more really good Cajun seafood. read more

Always great, consistently cooked food, with a very family friendly "where yat" kinda of vibe. You can't go wrong here.

Daaamn. They make a perfect shrimp boy boy for my taste. Mayo and pickle dressed, fresh, lots of shrimp and love the bread - Just tough enough but not hard. *smiles* took back two on the plane when I came to visit mom. Their gumbo, a dark rue and the stock is from the crawfish and shrimp shells? And..? Doesn't matter, one of my favorites. My go-to for boiled shrimp, hush puppies and boiled corn too. Suggest for anybody on the way to or from the airport. We are locals. read more

Great seafood and great service! Will definitely be back. Had the seafood boat for a large party, everyone enjoyed

Wow, wow, wow! Our first time back in a couple of years due to Covid-19, and we fondly recall why we couldn't wait to return! Excellent food and incredible service - thanks Sandra! We can't wait until our next visit! read more

Cute little inconspicuous seafood place, recommended to me by a friend. I got the fried artichoke hearts and the gumbo which were both great. The waitstaff, Taylor and Maddie were so attentive and friendly! Definitely will be returning read more

I woke up this morning craving seafood. There is no better choice to fulfill this craving than Smitty's Seafood in Kenner. The portions are sizable so I embarked on a 12 hour fast before walking into this establishment. This was the correct decision. My undying appetite coerced me toward the fried seafood platter. I parlayed this option with a red crème soda. After being served this delectable dish, warfare commenced on the table. The catfish provided artillery coverage while the oysters, shrimp, and cocktail sauce held the line. The battle raged over this seemingly insurmountable mountain of food; good taste was victorious and all sang deo gratias. I was tempted to deliver the victory speech on a chair for all patrons to hear. Instead, I asked the very personable and energetic waitress, Maddie, for my check. She delivered the bill with conviction and grace. I thanked her for the meal and left satisfied. I will be coming back. read more

Bought three large shrimp poboys, two family size fries and a child's shrimp plate. Spent $86.41. I can understand the child's plate being popcorn shrimp but the shrimp poboys were also made using popcorn shrimp! Not what I expected. Seasoning was ok, not too hot but I expected decent size shrimp. If my destination wasn't 30 minutes away I would have brought the poboys back. read more

Wow service was GREAT! Very yummy and HUGE portions! I was well taken care of. The breading on the crawfish tails was super good! Not sure what the pink dip is, but it's good stuff! We can't get hush puppies in California, so I had to jump on those! Oddly super good dipped with the left over ranch from the salad. read more

Went here today with my family on vacation. Originally from Florida, absolutely did NOT fall short of our expectations. Deliciously fresh seafood and a wonderful staff. Can't wait to make this stop a tradition for my family. All in all, Smit-tastic! read more

I went here yesterday to get crawfish definitely was not as good as it normally is... while ordering i wanted the crawfish sauce for my meal the waitress told me they did not have any at the moment which was totally fine but told me she could bring the ingredients to my table and I can make it myself i thought that was very unprofessional i did not go to out to eat for me to prepare anything for myself. read more

We decided to eat at Smitty's while we were vacationing in NOLA. We ordered the crawfish 3 way special, raw oysters and crawfish. Every dish was a big hit. Kids loved the crawfish and the oysters were awesome. The crawfish dishes were very tasty, as well. Great job Smitty's! We will gladly return for another meal. Recommended read more

I understand we are facing challenges and are learning new processes. We ordered boiled shrimp and they were pricey, very small, and hard to peel. We also ordered boiled crabs and half of them were empty. When we shared our concern, we were told and I quote, that's just how they are running. First off why would you knowingly sell crabs that were empty? Secondly why when you received a concern, the manager never came to the table to address us? Our server was friendly and apologized for the cold gumbo which we sent back. I gave this location almost $ 90.00 for two people and left hungry and disappointed. My friend ordered the catfish and said it was good, so we scored our experience as a 2. We will try again but we will ask in advance about the sizes of shrimp and if crabs are full or empty. read more

Beware. Giving them two stars because my dine-in experiences have been ok, but ordered 10lbs of crawfish yesterday that was over boiled, quite frankly seemed like it was reheated. Also, the corn & potatoes were bland like they had been boiled in plain water. In retrospect, I wish I would've returned it for a refund instead of throwing most of it away. Was trying my best to support businesses during this time but don't appreciate being taken advantage of. Disappointed at the quality and quite frankly, that they had the nerve to sell me that product. When I picked up the box, it was uncovered & when I went to cover it, the hostess said "don't cover because you will overcook it". Seems like they already knew it was overcooked. Duped for sure. read more

Smitty's is a hidden GEM!! I drive from Avondale to Kenner to pick up food. It never disappoints. On my last visit my husband and I got the seafood boat, that thang should say feeds 4 because we ate until we were full and had more the next day. The soup and gumbo are also delicious. read more

Don't waste your time or MONEY here we just ordered 10 pounds of crawfish & half we're dead & the other half was so mushy they would not come out the shell. We called to see if anyone else has had this problem this lady on the phone says yes it's the time of year!! Well she should of told us that before we completely throw away 60$ Don't waste your money!!! Terrible customer service read more

Unfortunately, despite having ramps to make it accessible, there is an oddly high bump with the ramp at the entrance that prevented my wife's power wheelchair from being able to enter. The drive wheels were lifted off of the ground because of how high the bump is. Nothing against the food or service, as we were not able to get that far. read more

went to eat Mardi Gras day and they chose to add a 20 percent tip on my bill and then not tell me at all until my wife looked at it and said the tip is included. when did 15 to 18 percent turn to automatically 20 and this was two people eating. I normally go there two to three times a month I guess I will not be going back read more

They have never disappoint me with my oyster Poor boy. As a matter of fact they are the only place I buy my oyster poorboy from period.

I took a friend there from out of town a few days ago for lunch. I was embarrassed how bad the food was. The blackened red fish was a joke. Overcooked and nothing blackened about it. It was something southern she'd been wanting to try. I gave her a list of other tried and TRUE places to try out the rest of her time here. I used to take my family there years ago but dont plan to even try again after reading other reviews how badly things are cooked there. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Easy to find but parking is not the greatest. Don't expect something fancy. Place is worn but not dirty. Greeted promptly and told to sit where I wanted. Waitress approached quickly and took drink order and left a menu. She was friendly and attentive throughout my lunch. Tried the stuffed shrimp with Cajun potatoes and a side salad. The salad was fresh and tasted good, they must make their own ranch dressing as it was really good! The Cajun Potatoes were excellent!! The stuffed shrimp unfortunately were not the best. The shrimp were very small, breading was ok but proportionately too much compared to the tiny shrimp inside. I would try one more time but definitely try a different main course. read more
