Great experience! Enjoyed the boiled crawfish, potatoes, and corn! Group also enjoyed the crab legs. Seems that it's a local favorite since the place was packed! Would definitely go there again!

Food is delicious but they ARE NOT ENFORCING SOCIAL DISTANCING OR MASK WEARING! They require masks to enter but ppl take them off as soon as they enter and no one says anything about it. When I was there, the women behind me were less than a foot away from me (despite six foot markers being placed on the floor) and one of them kept coughing. DISGUSTING. There needs to be another security officer inside.

I love it here. It's a secret gem of new orleans, especially since a lot of restaurants there dong offer crab legs. There sausage and spicy butter is sooo good as well. I can even pick up a drink there and sit down and indulge in greatness

This is the place the locals go. Had the crawfish, which was great and very well priced. Corn and potatoes were also very good. Blackened fish was also top notch. Service was quick.

The lines are confusing if you're not from New Orleans and the locals cut in line. Took 45 minutes to get through a line and the lady said we were in the wrong line and wouldn't help us. What a waste

Looking for a quick Seafood Cajun Taste... This is the place to go. Don't let the line intermediate you they have gathered a better organized system for the pick up time so it's pretty decent now. Everytime I am in New Orleans I stop by for the crab legs gumbo and chicken wings. Oh and the turkey necks 👌🏾 Not too crazy about the whole bodied head shrimp thing but I see the progression.

The food was pretty good could have been more spicy. Maybe Clemson fans might want it less spicy for national championship week here in NO. For me , as spicy as possible. my favoriate, grilled or blackened fish. the gumbo pictured was pretty good as well. It had a good bit of crab meat in there. Anyway It was a good stop

Had the large gumbo and my wife had the catfish and shrimp plate. Great portions and the flavor was outstanding! Fish was light and the batter was crispy. Gumbo had plenty of shrimp, sausage, and crab and great flavor. Highly recommend this place!

Bit into my sausage was cold. Alerted a staff member. They took my bag to make me a fresh one, and put the sausage and corn back in the warmer instead of throwing it away! Never had a problem with them until tonight!

You get a lot for your money. I went here for lunch with my family and ordered a chicken poboy. It was delicious. The chicken was good to perfection and the cajun sauce added just the right kick. The sandwich was so big I had enough for dinner later that evening. I didn't find a downside until I went to use the restroom. There didn't appear to be a janitorial service. I don't want to go into huge detail but let's just say...beware or hold it (like I did).

Awesome boils. We got crawfish with potatoes, corn, and sausage - it was like $20 for enough for 3 people. The hot garlic butter is really good. They also have tons of non seafood items you can get, so something for everyone.

Great place full range of fresh or boiled seafood. In particular we are fans of the seafood gumbo with big chunks of crab. Some may think it is too spicy so we don’t normally serve to guests, but for us it is perfect and really hits the spot on a cold winter day

Must stop everytime I visit NOLA. The fried seafood platters have big portions and are filling for under $20. Gumbo is cheap and authentic as the pricey tourist trap places in the Quarter. The only issue I have is how they have ppl line up for ordering as it's kind of confusing.Kinda sketchy area too so best to go during the day. Not too much parking available around the store and hard to exit as there is constantly traffic on Claiborne Ave, but plenty of parking across the street under the I-10 overpass. Just be careful crossing the street as you'll be playing frogger.

Loved it!!!! the seafood was fresh, and totally worth the cost, especially being from the east coast where seafood can be a bit pricey. The only exception was the female attendant at the fresh seafood section, whom for whatever reason was a bit rude. But I was made to understand by another customer that, the behavior was usual and quite expected. So that's a heads up for anyone visiting.

First time trying it. Long line and place was packed so we figure it's gotta be good. We ordered 3 pounds of shrimp and crawfish, corn, sausages, and XL crabs for 6 guys. There was no seats open so we took it to go.The sauce is pretty spice. The good type of spicy. The overall good was very good but I thought the shrimp and corn was overcooked and a bit dried out. It's understandable because everything is pre-boiled and ready to go. Would definitely try it again and hope for a fresher batch because the flavor is definitely there.

The crawfish boil was decent...not great but decent. The shrimp fried rice was very good. The gumbo was mediocre by my tastes. the the neighborhood locals seem to like this place based on how busy it was. This is NOT fine dining. And, just so you know, this place is in the 'hood...and multiple law enforcement officers were on guard while we were there...presumably because it is needed.

Server walked outside with gloves on and returned into the building with the same gloves on didn’t wash his hands nor did he think to change the gloves until he was asked .... he looked as if he had an attitude because he was asked to change the gloves . He still didn’t wash his hands ....... NOW the food .... I’m allergic to seafood but my Partner loves it . I got the turkey necks and my partner got turkey necks and craw fish ..... don’t get me wrong this first time we came it was amazing .... but today it was horrible . The turkey neck was rubbery and chewy . 🤮

This is the only boiled seafood I have had, so can't compare to other places. It was amazing though. Cafeteria style seating. If you are eating in, be prepared to wear rubber gloves and eat out of bags. Not at all glamorous but super delicious. Highly recommend the crawfish and snow crab legs. Everyone else was getting turkey neck so I imagine that's great too.

I had very high expectations coming from Houston and was very disappointed. The gumbo was disgusting. It tasted like a basil soup (lack of seasoning). The corn was spicy with no seasoning. I didn’t even know that was possible. The crawfish and shrimp were barely seasoned. The workers rushed you and you could see the irritation (the not wanting to be bothered) was all on their faces. I truly believe if anyone likes this place it’s because they have not experienced real seafood and gumbo that was seasoned to perfection. Don’t waste your time or your money. It’s definitely not worth it.

Good eating and the local hood go hand and hand. The crab legs were delicious but the GUMBO is better than many places I’ve visited while in New Orleans!! PRO TipTraveling home via plane and wanna take some with! Freeze it and you can walk right on through security and onto your flight. Wanna know why??? It’s frozen and no longer subject to the liquid limitations ☺️ you’re welcome 😊
