I can't find the words to describe how great our experience was! The food was delicious, the staff friendly, and the ambiance was energetic. I had the red snapper, green beans, and house salad. The snapper was amazing!!! My hubby got the Taste of New Orleans. It was phenomenal. All of my kids devoured the kids shrimp and fries. read more

I visited here twice in a row. The waiters recognized me when I entered the restaurant the 2nd time. The food is delicious, hot and fresh. Compared to similar restaurants on the same street, it has the best price for seafood. The pics on the wall represent the local scenes, creating a good memory. It is also an escape from the busy streets outside. Waiters are friendly and helpful. Diners are happy. All this create a relaxing and casual dining experience. read more

Food, parking, service was 5 star. Highly recommend the fried green tomatoes and crab cake. Fish and chips, coleslaw was exceptional. The gentleman who took our order was very friendly and nice. The only problem was it was so very cold inside the restaurant due to weather conditions outside. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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!!!!! read more

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 read more

Decent and easy restaurant near our hotel to enjoy a quick meal and get the taste of New Orleans (beans and rice, jambalaya, and gumbo). They were all fresh and flavorful. Service was friendly and quick, both with drinks and brining our food. Only negative was a bug (cockroach) walked across the table and also at the same time at the table behind us, but unfortunately this seems to be common in many places in Nola. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Came in really quick for take out because I really wanted to try Oysters Rockefeller, Crawfish Etouffee and Red Beans & Rice before leaving New Orleans, and I'm so glad that we did. As soon as we walked in everyone was very welcoming, the prices were also very reasonable. Everything was delicious, my favorite was the crawfish etouffee, it had a spicy kick to it. Definitely worth checking out. read more

We were in a rush, needed a little nosh, decided this location because it had decent reviews. I don't know if they are just in a rut but my goodness- it was bad. The worst experience of our whole NOLA trip. We ordered fish balls and calamari to start- and decided nothing more after we saw the appetizers come out. The fish balls are decent. But the calamari was rubbery. Ick. And it was supposed to come with a remoulade sauce - but had cocktail sauce instead. When we asked for the remoulade- our server acted put out to get it. The service was slow. (And no- it wasn't crowded- in fact there were only two other parties.) Food was below average. And when we paid in cash - our change was inconsistent (as a matter of fact- it was incorrect) with giving a tips. Maybe she knew it was terrible and her tip would be very low? All seriousness- save your money. Skip this one. read more

I went here for dinner and service was quick and fast. Our server even gave us other local recommendations, 10/10 service. The food however was lacking in some areas. We tried each oyster besides the raw ones and this was my favorite part of the meal. Specifically the creole oysters, they were fresh and packed with flavor. The red snapper was very tender, but it was under seasoned and the skin was tough and chewy. The crawfish etouffee was packed with flavor and this would be what I would order here. The place was lively and the vibes were good. It was a good price for what you get, but if you are visiting for a short time I'd opt for somewhere else. read more

Customer service was very quick and friendly and attentive , food was great as well.

Stopped in mid afternoon . Not too crowded. Server from Turkey. Great guy. We shared a cup of crawfish "soup" and the seafood platter with soft shell crab added , with 2 sides. We did a salad and onion rings. Yes all fried but lightly on the fish - we enjoyed it very much and definitely two people platter we think. Food without drinks and tip about $25 a person. read more

By far the freshest, flakiest, fish I've ever experienced! We went to Snapper's the very first night in NOLA and wished we went back one more time before our trip ended. Gumbo was less than preferred but absolutely order the seafood platter, fried alligator and daiquiris to go. read more

I actually decided to go here based off of previous reviews and pictures that I seen. I typically would not eat a restaurant on Canal Street just because it seems like a tourist trap. This place was outstanding, Neis atmosphere, friendly staff in the food was excellent. I had the shrimp salad and it did not disappoint... Salad was fresh and loaded with a dozen shrimp... I have saved this for future visits to New Orleans as I will be back for sure. Shout out to Max, the bartender, great guy, great service in very knowledgeable of the menu. read more

This place is delicious I had the pasta that was really good it was very tasty and I had the red beans and rice these are definitely family recipes it's really good. But it's a little pricey here to be honest with you I left there one person couple drinks 70 bucks for a quick lunch wasn't really wanting to spend that much but I did and what the heck I'm on vacation right :-) no complaints besides that service was excellent read more

Walked in at 9:25 p.m. and was told the kitchen's already closed. I made sure to be here before 9:30 to be respectful to their workers since they are supposed to be open till 10:00 p.m. but apparently this place doesn't want my business. Now it's going to be too late for me to go anywhere else. read more

It was a small, casual place, nothing too flashy. We took two seats at the bar which holds maybe 8 people. Being that it was a pretty cool night out, we each got a cup of crawfish etoufee. I hadn't had it before, but I enjoyed it. The etoufee came with a scoop of white rice and side of garlic bread. There was plenty of crawfish tails in the cup too. For an entree, we split the grilled red snapper filet, which is usually one of my favorite fishes. Not this one. It didn't taste all that fresh, and it was smothered with a white creamy crawfish sauce. But the sauce was way too heavy and creamy to the point that it overpowered the fish. Very disappointing. It did come with two sides, we had a house salad and Caesar salad. The house salad was fine, it had some spring greens, which gave it a nice touch. But the Italian dressing was your standard thick golden Kraft. Come on Snapper's, do better than that please. You are in New Orleans, certain standards are required. read more

Ordered the grilled salmon + 2 sides for $24. Asked the waitress if I could substitute red beans and rice ($8 side) for my second side (other sides were listed as $5 - $7). She said yes and agreed to charge me the difference. Salmon was dry, tasteless and terrible. Sides were decent, except for the garlic bread, which would have shattered the plate if I dropped it from more than 6 inches. I get the bill - $24 + $8 for the red beans and rice. I remind the waitress that we had agreed that she would charge me the difference (no more than $3, and, since I could have picked a $7 side, it should have only been another dollar). Sorry, we don't do that. Yeah - never eating here again. read more

We tried to have at least one po' boy while here. The shrimp po' boy was pretty decent, nothing special. French fries were good. Grilled alligator was good but not a generous portion.

Very casual atmosphere. Employees didn't have any kind of uniform- which in fine with, but I think it speaks to how casual the place is. So don't worry about having to dress up. Nice jazz music played throughout our visit. We were able to choose where we sat. Got the crawfish étouffée cup and grilled red snapper as my entree. The étouffée was okay; nothing I'd order again but it wasn't terrible. Warmed me up on a cold night, flavor was decent, barely any crawfish in the serving. Food came out extremely fast. The red snapper itself was good. I've never had it before so didn't have any compassions; it's a rather bland fish. Flaky. The cream sauce on top was good and had more crawfish in that cream sauce than in the cup of étouffée. Ceaser salad was good. Potato salad was definitely store bought - tastes exactly like the potato salad I used to purchase from Walmart. Our server was nice. Bathrooms were dated. The women's restroom door doesn't fully open; it'll stop quickly, which I wasn't expecting, nearly slammed my face on my way out It was alright. Not terrible. Not amazing. Probably wouldn't visit here again but it's good if you're at one of the surrounding hotels and need something quick. read more
