50 Best Seafood Restaurants in New Orleans

“Found this gem of a restaurant on our vacation in New Orleans. Food, drinks, and service were all excellent. The staff was very attentive to the timing of food delivery to allow for a good conversions and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Customer Service leaves a lot to be desired. Our waitress barely stopped by to check on us. The food was fantastic. The charbroiled oysters were plump and meaty. The gumbo and coleslaw were both very flavorful. And the fried fish dinner was also fantastic. Is the service was anywhere near the quality of the food I would recommend 100%.“

“We had dinner here last night. The atmosphere is lovely and the food is wonderful. We ordered the 4 course dinner and each plate that came out was fabulous. The cocktails were great too and the service can't be beat. 5 stars!“

“My wife and I have just had our tea at Nola Poboys I had a 12 inch poboy (Big Easy), hot roast beef, ham with all the trimmings & my wife had Debris fries without cheese. (She doesn’t like cheese) crazy I know. It was off the chain. Highly recommend Nola Poboys. Just do it! 😀“

“A New Orleans institution!“

“Stellar food, service, and atmosphere!“

“0n a recommendation from our small haunted hotel we hit MRB for lunch. The catfish po boy was outstanding. Their drink specials were just right and reasonably priced. Two days later, we went back to try the alligator sandwich and some charbroiled oysters also spot Definitely would not call this a tourist trap. It’s like most of Nola, funky, functional and fun. Don’t confuse with Mr bs“

Definitely a place to visit in NOLA.“

“My husband and I went on Friday night for dinner. Could not wait to try the new menu and it was simply awesome. To start with, our sever team was Isaac and Cheyanne and they were great. We never waited for anything. The Hot Crab Claws and Foie Gras Torte for appetizers were divine. I ordered the Duck Cassoulet and my husband had the visiting fish, Sea Bass over Yakamein. While the fish was excellent, the Duck ruled the table. Thanks to the Servers and Kitchen for a wonderful meal. We'll be back.“

“Great food, great service and a friendly staff. We had marked Basin Seafood on Google maps because it looked and sounded good, and it certainly was.

We had Blue Crab Beignets (wonderful), Crawfish Queso (very good but could use more crawfish) and a couple drinks.

We went for a few items on the Happy Hour menu since we had a dinner planned elsewhere later. If we had more days in town, it would be great to have dinner here.“

“Our go to place for fresh seafood. Today, gumbo, incredibly fresh seafood platter for two, baked mac and cheese followed by their bread pudding Everything was delicious, the service was good, see you next Thursday!“

“Just wanted to say thanks David. We had a blast at your place. We caught the football 4th quarter, and had great cocktails. The staff member Anna was very friendly and did a A+ job shucking 3 dozen oysters that were perfectly done… clean and left the liquor in them. I was so pleased I tipped her $30 separate from the tip on the check / server. I just wished we lived there so we could return frequently. BIG Thank you for your hospitality. It was a highlight of our very awesome trip to NOLA.“

“The food and the service!“

“We are not hotel guests, but found the restaurant online. Our waiter was great! The bouillabaise and Caesar salad were outstanding. My daughter had cannelloni with shrimp—yummy! We really enjoyed this restaurant. One of our top restaurants on our trip.“

“This place really left a lasting impression. From the hostess, our server, the bathrooms, food, price point, time we spent. Everything was on point. We had oysters, gumbo, bisque, redfish, and house salad. Everything was divine!!! Keep up the good work! Also loved that it was so very clean.“

“best crawfish I've ever had!“

“We ordered the charbroiled oysters, chargrilled crabs and the blackened mahi. Everything was so on point down to the lemon cream sauce and flavor on each thing. Highly recommend 🤤“

“Our server Hailey was exceptional!! She checked on us frequently and was awesome. It was my birthday and she surprised me with desert. She made my experience worthwhile and I will definitely be back!!“

“Recommendation and service from Mary were great!!! She kept us full & hydrated! If you haven’t been here in a while definitely come give them a try. Truly a great NOLA experience and hospitality.“

“For me it was the best restaraunt I ate during my stay in New Orleans. The $1 Oyster deal at Happy hour can't be beaten. The cocktails were delicious and then the food in my opinion was amazing. I plan to come back next time I visit New Orleans and if it wasn't because I'm leaving, I would go today again.“

“my absolute favorite place for boiled crawfish and mushrooms. Their burgers are fantastic as well. The service can be slow at times, but I enjoy sitting on the patio anyways, so I don't mind the wait. Love the outdoor hand washing station too- it is so convenient“

“Customer service was on point. Servers welcome you like family. The atmosphere was jazzy and a vibe with the N.O. music. The food arrived quickly and was well seasoned. Will definitely be back.“

“Antoine was a fantastic server ...polite, courteous, attentive, and extremely handsome. oh and the food was good too. I ordered the soup of the day which was the crab chowder - really decadent but not too rich. Dinner was a coffee rubbed filet cooked to perfection. I was dining alone but seated close to two different couples who did not know each other but struck up a conversation due to their proximity and I enjoyed their conversation as one couple was Swedish and the other was from AL but had Swedish roots. it was a really cool place to eat since I would call it fine dining but a comfortable feel. 10/10. Ask for Antoine.“

“This place always has got food for a low price. And is always packed everyday with loyal customers. Everyone around here enjoys the meals they make. They open at 9:30am-7 but sometimes the owner has to leave early because he sells out to quick“

“Old School New Orleans as I remember it, from my first visit back in the early nineties. I returned for the oysters and spaghetti, yeah I left completely enamored with the oyster stew and one of the best cup of coffee in New Orleans and that saying something. As magazine Street turns into an open-air mall of expensive clothing boutiques, this is a reminder that New Orleans was once the funkiest of American cities we're the best inexpensive food.“

“First trip to New Orleans, so I was looking forward to eating some good food. My Bro took me to a location called Hut 35 Food Truck. The guy who took my order was very nice & pleasant. He was also the chef. I ordered lamb chops and grilled shrimp. My Bro ordered the Burger Trio. His food came 1st. Bacon cheeseburger, chicken wings, & wet French fries. AMAZING FLAVORS.
I got my food, and I must say that i've never had lamb chops with any sauce on them. But these lamb chops were grilled perfectly, and this sauce....OMG! 🔥🔥🔥 So Good & so flavorful that it actually enhanced the great natural taste of lamb. I'm going to need a shipment of that sauce. Lol
Chef Mitch, I really appreciate your service. Great job, Sir. 🙏🏾
I also want to put in a good word for the food truck that's adjacent to Hut 35. I believe it's called Johnny's. I had some Jamaican rice and cabbage, and it too was amazing. Thanks, NOLA!

California Love 👌🏾👑“

“Awesome boiled and fried seafood!!! The fried chicken wings are the best in New Orleans.“

“I just love this place. Been many times on multiple trips. Bartenders are always so engaging and very much about keeping you company and telling you about their drinks and oysters. On this trip, a bartender with pig tails and a cap made my time so special by telling me the back story on the gin and the oysters. Fun, smiley, knowledgeable, and just welcoming. This will always be a stop for me on my New Orleans trips. And happy hour on Mon-Thu 3-6pm has great prices and fun stuff.“

“the char grilled oysters, z is a beast with the sauce“

“The food was outstanding!! Great prices as well, we had 3 people in total, I recommend the bayou boil and a combination of a smaller plate which had more crab, corn and potatoes with the viet garlic and cajun seasoning. Nice man as well with the braids! (I believe his name was Boss, sorry I can’t remember his name) Emptied our seafood bags as well! Food had great seasoning and the crab was easy to pull. I definitely recommend trying this place!🦀🦞🦐“

“JACQ, JOSH, and MISS DENISE treated me very well. Super friendly and food was tasty. Thank you all!“

“Excellent dining experience. Salad was very tasty, large portions.“

“I love the honesty, I asked about there crawfish, and he told me that there were pre frozen crawfish, and they still tastes amazing.The fried chicken is off the chain.I live in slidell, and I make it my business once or twice a week to go and get my chicken plate my crawfish, and my pineapple big shot.“

“This was our first time dining here and to be honest, we came because we saw them on a national TV show so we wanted to check them out and meet the owner! The food we ordered was delicious and very nicely prepared. The staff were very hospitable and super friendly. The owner, Bonnie came out to meet and chat with us. She is very kind and accommodating. We were very excited to meet her and we look forward to returning to her establishment!“

“The food was off the charts! Beautiful presentation and even more incredible flavors. I couldn't put the cornbread dressing down! Must try...and then try some more again!“
