“Everything that was advertised was false! We went for Father's Day and they had no food. Almost 70% of their menu was not available. We drove 90 miles to be told they had no chicken wings, no lobster, no steak, no tacos, no potatoes, no beignets, no greens, and no catfish, only AFTER we had been seated and ready to order. I made the reservations a month and a half ago, and we were so excited to try this place for the first time. Needles to say we left beyond disappointed, along with many other customers. It was a complete disaster, and ruined our Father's Day celebration.“

“Discovered this place several years ago. Missed it a couple of times when it was closed. Wondered if I was imagining how good it was. Nope. Went back today and it was even better than I remembered. As good as anything I've had in New Orleans, actually. Nice vibe, first rate server and superb food. Skip the tacos in Old Town and find New Orleans Creole Cafe.“

“We have been HUGE a huge fan of a local crawfish restaurant for as long as they have been open, and have gone frequently over the years. Recently we have been looking to try some of the other crawfish places around. Not only did the Boxing Crab have flavorful sauces to choose from, top quality freshness, the best cooked crawfish we have had in a restaurant, (even better than our regular spot), and their service was wonderful! We now have a new GoTo! We will recommend them again and again!“

“Overall we had a great experience here. We went on a Sunday Evening. We didn't realize the wait would be so long so we didn't get onto the online waitlist until 5:30 which meant our reservation was an hour to an hour and 15mins later. We left a little late and they called us before we got there so we were dropped from the wait list. The good news was once we got there they were accommodating and put us back on the wait list with a short wait. Once there, the wait staff was Extremely attentive, professional and friendly. Food came out reasonably quick. The prices for king crab were $60/lb (too high for us) so we got snow crab for half that ($30/lb) and a seafood boil where you can pick and choose what goes into it (I love that!). Butcher block paper is on the table and you can choose to eat directly off the table which is super fun and my kids absolutely loved it. I only wish they had paper towels instead of napkins at the tables because it's messy. Overall it was super fun and we had a good experience.“

“The seafood was of an excellent quality and surpassed expectations. We would particularly recommend the lobsters and oysters. We ordered a combination platter which included corn, potatoes and sausages in a chili butter sauce. This was a particularly enjoyable dish. The waitress also spoke Cantonese, which was a great asset.“
