Felt like home. Very old school restaurant, specializing in Louisiana Seafood. The building is older, but very clean and well maintained.The entire staff was very friendly. From the hostess, to the young bus boys, to our server. Everyone had a smile.My wife had the humongous stuffed crap platter, and I had a BBQ shrimp po-boy. Everything was delicious and arrived hot. The portions are large enough to be shared, we took food home.Restaurants aren’t cheap anywhere these days. But we felt that this was a good value. We will be back.Forget the chains. This is an authentic N'awlins restaurant, from the food to the setting. Take your out of town guests here. Better yet, grab your mom and ‘nem. They will love it.Kid-friendliness: Seemed very kid friendly. The next table had three kids. Their server was talking to the kids all through the meal.

I like this place! Great portions I had the charbrolied oysters they were good. I think I ask for then to be well done next time. I also had the Charles special m so good great portions. Loved the jambalaya grits. The gumbo was decent very salty.

If you want great food and service, you should go to Charles Seafood. Gina is a great server, and her suggestions are spot on… at least for me. I had the crabs, boiled shrimp, and a couple beers. It was GREAT!
Great local scene. The best and freshest seafood I’ve had and I eat everywhere. The crawfish were the meatiest I’ve had. Loved the coleslaw and the jambalaya grits. The trout was perfectly delicious.Parking: When it’s busy the small lot has no overflow.

The gumbo is more of a creole style with lots of flavor and the seafood platter was just right. Overall I'd give this place a thumbs up!

This is a great little place that has been here for ever. Great lunch special each day. I love all the things on the menu. They shuck oysters to order so you know they are fresh.
Good food, reasonably priced. If you don't order jambalaya grits, you are missing out on one of the best menu items in New Orleans! Royal reds are usually available, just not listed on the menu. Ask!

Went to Charles Seafood today don't know why I always want to call it Charlie's , no matter the food is very good. Wife and I ordered oyster poboy and shrimp poboy and swapped halves. Oysters fried to perfection, and loaded on soft French bread dressed yum yum , same for shrimp. Service was good. The next time I'll get soft shell crab.
