    From the outside the restaurant seems pretty basic but it delivers in the flavor department. I had the seasoned fish, green beans and potato salad. The green beans were delicious cooked just right. Service was quick and the price was right. The restaurant is not a destination, but you are happy after dining there.

    The most blah place I ate in New Orleans. It's almost not memorable except for the terrible service. They were not busy enough for the server to be so short, dismissive and nearing rude.

    I was seated pretty quickly at the bar. The bartender was nice and attentive. I ordered the cup of gumbo to start and it was OK. Nothing exciting to write home about especially being in NOLA. The seafood pasta was overly salty and the bread was a bit stale and did not taste fresh.

    Redfish & snapper with 2 sides each

    Snappers is a solid option if you're looking for fresh fish in New Orleans. They get their fish in fresh every morning, and you can taste it. We had the redfish and the snapper, and both were cooked well and very enjoyable. The style is Mediterranean-inspired, which I understand is why this place is so popular. That said, I'm from the Mediterranean (Turkish), so this style of cooking isn't new to me. Service was a highlight. Our waitress was very attentive, made thoughtful recommendations, and even offered dessert. She was genuinely lovely. Not a standout meal for me personally, but a reliable spot with fresh fish and warm service.

    Nice casual cafe right on Canal Street. Short wait to get seated. Food was delightfully seasoned. I got the salmon and it was delicious. Served with green beans. Hubby went with meatloaf with was covered in a tomato sauce. Booth, tables and a counter to satisfy all sizes of parties.

    ATA. Awesome service and delicious food. As authentic as New Orleans is Gonna have to come back before I go home

    I love this place. The staff was friendly. They gave suggestions about New Orleans. They were very, very cool. I just can't rave enough about this place. I also fell in love with their snapper. Whoever is in the kitchen, you know what you are doing because it was so delicious. I have never been a person who could eat all the way up to the head of a snapper, but that fried snapper had me in a chokehold. I would have rather eat at this place in any other place in all of New Orleans.

    Had an amazing meal at Snappers. I had the Taste of New Orleans! The crawfish étouffée, red beans and rice, shrimp gumbo, gator bites, and Cajun chicken and sausage pasta were all absolutely delicious. Everything was packed with flavor, tasted fresh, and truly gave that authentic New Orleans comfort food feel. You can tell a lot of love goes into the food here. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

    Seafood pasta, the best

    Been in NOLA for a week and have tried many places. We were so tired of all the noise on Bourbon street and crowds. All the places we went to was just Meh. I guess I had too big of expectations of all I heard about NOLA. After having a beer at cafe Portalba and researching we decided on going to SNAPPERS! So glad we did! Everything was beyond fabulous and our bartender G was so nice and accommodating! We are sad we are leaving and won't be able to go back. Had gumbo and was the best we have had and seafood pasta that was so flavorful. Great place!!!!!

    Cajun Calamari $14
    Darlene M.

    Fast friendly service. The calamari app and fried fish app were good and came out very hot! My husband had the blackened red fish with a house salad and green beans. He said everything was very good. I had the bowl of etouffee which was good but light on the crawfish and just a little Cajun spicy. Great food. Wonderful service, really good portions and better priced than the other places we have eaten at in NOLA. Directly across from our hotel and near Bourbon St

    Salmon waa delicious

    Good value 2 entrees w/ 2 sides Buy 1 get 1 drinks All for $70 Good food! Nice waitress! Good fun!

    Redfish with creole sauce and two sides with each meal.
    Keith D.

    Great service, food was amazing, and prices were great especially for raw oysters on the half shell. When in NOLA stop by and grab a delicious meal. My wife and I had oysters, blackened redfish with creole sauce and 2 sides. The ambience was good, but the food made this place great!!

    Snapper

    Amazing service as always, we had the philipino girl serve us and she was very kind and got us all taken care of. I ordered the steak even though this is a seafood restaurant and my friend ordered the red snappers and raw oysters. Oysters were fresh and big and the steak was cooked perfectly medium rear with a juicy juicy crust and the stringbeans are amazing!!! Along with the best potato salad ive ever had. This place is a hidden gem and a good deal in this high tourist location. This is now my second time here in the week and im not dissapointed. I highly recommend and will def come back if im ever around.

    OMG!!!! This place was sooo freaking good!!! The seasoning and sauce was perfect for what we asked…read morefor. I came with a friend who had never had a seafood boil. I've never had crawfish and seeing it was crawfish season we were destined to be here. We built out our own seafood boil, which included, 1lb shrimp head off, 2 soft shell crab clusters, 1lb crawfish, corn, potato, and sausage. Let's just say we left with a pretty big leftovers box We ordered the hot house flavor and do not regret it one bit! Our server was so kind to show us how to peel and eat the crawfish and honestly it was so fun!! I will definitely be back next time in New Orleans!! One quick note I will say that I learned from a local that I wish I knew before this feast (And you should double check with staff if this info is correct). Most seafood boil places in the area when they have headless shrimp it is farmed and brought in from outside retailers where if you get head-on it's from local ships in the area/fresh caught. Apparently they've been struggling and if you want to support New Orleans local fisherman then go for the head-on shrimp. Again double check with staff if their head-on shrimp is local cuz I learned this information after visiting.

    The atmosphere at Hot & Cajun was clean, comfortable, and inviting. Unfortunately, the service left…read morea lot to be desired. We waited approximately 30 minutes before our waiter even came to greet our table, which set a disappointing tone for the entire meal. The food was decent, but nothing particularly memorable or worth going out of the way for. It's possible the long wait and lack of attention from the staff affected the overall experience and my enjoyment of the meal. The restaurant has potential given the nice atmosphere, but the service needs significant improvement. Until then, I can't rate it any higher than 2 stars.
