J's Bayou Seafood serves up some of the best crawfish in New Orleans - seriously, if you're on the…read morehunt for top-notch seafood, look no further. Their po'boys are amazing too, packed with fresh flavors that hit the spot every time. The staff is always super nice and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Yeah, the place has that classic divey vibe you'd expect from an authentic New Orleans spot, but that's exactly what makes the food taste so great lol. Plus, it's tucked in a strip mall, so there's always ample parking - no hassle there. Highly recommend swinging by if you're in Gretna

Took an uber here since I wanted to have a few cocktails and it was really the food that sold it for me, had a glass of wine since it became all about the food once we sat down! I will start by saying we had the best server I have had in a very long time! She was a great salesperson, knew the menu and what to recommend and the kitchen did not disappoint from what she was telling us! This was such a find. Small little family place, great food, great service and then more great food with more great service! We started with the Crawfish Boudin...delicious!! Followed those up with some grilled oysters with crab meat and cheese....I was getting full so did a 1/2 oyster po-boy which was huge, delicious and huge! some Hush-puppies thrown in, some wine...man...everything was amazing! Highly recommended and of all the places I have eaten in New Orleans this is one that I will definitely be back too! KT

I have only been here once, for a sendoff lunch for a coworker who is retiring. A coworker who has…read morelived in Harahan all her life recommended Charles for our group. Perfect! We had ten people at lunch and the whole experience was wonderful. Zero complaints.(!) They were able to seat us all together in a separate room. The service was great despite the large party. Our waitress was organized and efficient. Glasses never got empty and she kept the meal well paced and moving. She was very friendly and answered all our questions. At the close of the meal, she offered to divide the bill up into separate checks(!). I think there were about five checks total for the entire group. The food was very good. I had a daily special which was BBQ shrimp & Jambalaya Grits. If you wonder what Jambalaya Grits are, think "jambalaya with grits instead of rice". It came with a little side salad that was cold and fresh. Onion rings and firecracker shrimp appetizers were tasty and very nicely done. Anecdote: coworker says that all the locals call this place "Charlie's" even though it is actually "Charles Seafood" like it says. Whatever you want to call it, I call it great. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

I hadn't had enough crawfish yet, so I decided to try this place, again on a recommendation. I,…read moreagain, decided on a cup of seafood gumbo, and a crawfish boil, this time with a head of garlic. Both were excellent. The gumbo was rich and smooth, with nice chunks of crawfish. The crawfish in the boil were large, well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The occasional squeeze of garlic added a nice touch. The place was very casual (served in a red plastic basket, lined with waxed paper -- classic) with quick, friendly service and very reasonable prices.
