STRAIGHT TRASH‼‼ First customer service was absolutely…read moreawful. We were a party of nine. Only 3 waiters and 2of3 did not want to seat us. I guess we were too much work for them. After 5ppl they charge you a gratuity fee. Which that's fine, but at least work for the gratuity fee. I feel like waiters that get gratuity feel as though they don't have to work because they have already gotten my tip. Also they charge you $15 if you bring a cake into their establishment. Also I DID not like how they treated a group of "black" young men that came into the restaurant. The food was absolutely disgusting.i hate swai fish. And if your restaurant isn't serving "REAL" catfish at least advertise that on your menu. The fries were hard and overcooked. The egg rolls were semi decent. Definitely would not recommend this place of business

My friends and I went here on a Monday afternoon. We were a party of eight but everything went very…read moresmoothly. We got a bunch of appetizers: calamari wings, garlic, fries, and garlic noodles, and they were all great though the garlic noodles were probably my least favorite. 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!

Also the drinks, yes yes yes.

I had a very disappointing experience at Stingrays this weekend. Not only was the food…read moreunsatisfactory, but the customer service was even worse. I ordered two Crawfish Taylor, and when I checked my food before leaving, I noticed that both of them contained only four crawfish tails. Had I not checked before leaving, I would have been stuck with food that was clearly not worth what I paid. When I brought the issue to management's attention and requested a refund, the manager/owner was rude, racist,dismissive, and very unprofessional. I was initially told that I could only receive a refund for one crawfish, despite both orders being unsatisfactory. After standing up for myself and insisting on a full refund of the $33.95 I spent, the situation escalated unnecessarily. What was most upsetting was being threatened with having the police called on me simply because I was requesting my money back for food I was unhappy with. I left feeling disrespected and unfairly treated. Based on my experience, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this establishment to others. Your response is completely inaccurate. The owner is not telling the full truth about what happened. She did threaten to call the police, but she never did because she knew she was wrong in how she handled the situation. My cousin did not use any profanity until after the owner snatched the bag of boiled crawfish from us and threw it back at us. No one ever stood on a chair, and several details in your statement are simply false. The issue started because we paid for food that was not prepared as advertised and were dissatisfied with the quality. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, the owner became rude, confrontational, and disrespectful. Customers should not be treated that way when they have a legitimate complaint. We are sharing our experience as it happened, and we stand by our account of the events.

We ask the difference in the size of a small and large order of livers, and she again just looked at us, so is said just give us a large order and she walked away and went to the back to bag a to go order for someone else with saying a word to us. We waited at the counter a few minutes to give her the rest of our order and she didn't come back. So on that note we left. I don't think they will make it with a very good restaurant directly across the street from the. GOOD LUCK.

We met a good friend of ours here for lunch. His wife and US, would regularly go n out to eat with each other. It was a normal routine. His wife passed away suddenly about 8 months ago and he hasnt gone anywhere that whole time. She was my best friend. It was a pleasant surprise, when he agreed to have lunch with us. We decided to go to Zea's on W. ESPLANADE. It was obvious they were busy as most of the lot was full. The first thing we noticed was the new interior renovations. It was definitely brighter and open since the last time we were here. We finally got sat at a table, wasnt a long wait. Our server, (young lady named Taylor) was our server. She was very friendly, inviting personality and made you feel welcomed. We started off with drinks and the Hummus appetizer. Never seen a big appetizer like this, it was perfect for 3 even 4 ppl and very good. It was served with warm pita slices. I remember they served cucumber slices upon request, not sure if they still do that. The lunch entrees were Almond chicken salad for my wife. Our friend ordered the Thai rib plate and I had the Crispy duck. As far as I know, my food was excellent, the duck was well cooked and moist. The Thai ribs are usually always good, no doubt that has changed, I stole one of my friends ribs. It went to good use. My wife said the main salad was good, but she feels the chicken itself lacked flavor, but since this is my review, only my opinion matters, lol. The Thai ribs were very good. I love the corn grits and the zea potatoes. For me, I feel this was my best meal I've had all year so far. Would I come back? Heck yeah. You buying? I overall, love the change. The new menu and decor is a hit for me.

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

1/2 (3.5 stars) Mr. Ed's Oyster Bar & Fish House…read more 3117 21st St., New Orleans, LA Visited April 13, 2026 Overall, this was a decent dining experience with a few things done well and a couple misses. We ordered a dozen raw oysters ($18.95), a shrimp cocktail ($14.95), a bleu cheese wedge ($9.95), and a side of jambalaya ($6.95). The oysters were good, and the jambalaya was good as well--both definitely enjoyable. The biggest issue was the so-called "jumbo" shrimp cocktail. They were definitely shrimp, but definitely not jumbo. The flavor was nice, but it's almost a crime for a seafood restaurant to label these as jumbo. They looked more like 35/40 count at best, maybe even 55/60. That was a letdown. The bleu cheese wedge was very good, but we were a little disappointed they wouldn't chop the wedge for us. Not a huge issue, but it felt like a pretty simple request. All in all, it was a decent meal. Some good items, some disappointment, and overall a perfectly fine experience, just not one that really stood out.

So EVERY other location of Mr. Ed's I've eaten at has been really great and I've always enjoyed it…read more I avoided coming to this location for quite awhile as I had always liked Bozo's which was at this location before so it seemed too weird to visit here for a long time. So finally in 2022 I decided to make a visit here. It did take a bit of adjustment as it was so different yet still had some of the bones of Bozo's still present. I had high expectations from my prior visits to other Mr. Ed's locations but sadly they really disappointed me here. My first visit I ordered seafood gumbo, crawfish bread and trout almondine. The seafood gumbo barely had any seafood in it, the crawfish bread was VERY cheesy but barely any crawfish were to be found, the trout almondine was EXTREMELY dry and tough as leather. My next visit several months later I tried the Redfish Amanda which had a VERY cold topping of crawfish etouffee on top of it which really ruined the experience. I also found the portion sizes here to be very small for the price they charged compared to other seafood joints in the area and from my experience at other Mr. Ed's locations. The service was also sadly below mediocre and my servers seemed to really not care when I told them of my issues with my food. At his point I wasn't willing to even go for a third strike attempt as my experiences here were among the all time worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. So from my two visits I have to give this restaurant ONE star! Now some redemption has happened as the current GM of this restaurant all these years later in 2025 noticed my poor review experiences and invited me to make a return visit to try them again! So I very much value restaurants that want to make things right again and I'm also a big fan of Mr. Ed's other locations I've visited over the years and still have them on my rotation. I was really sad this Mr. Ed's really failed me after all the others had been so good. So far I haven't had time to take up the offer of a return visit but the professionalism of the GM here makes this review go up from a 1 star to a 3 star at least until I can finally sample the food here again. I have high expectations that they will at least meet or exceed my experiences at other Mr. Ed's locations.
