“Started buying crawfish/shrimp from here when they were on Verot. Now I have to drive further to get to Carencro but I won't buy them from anywhere else. The flavor and spice are the best and I'm hooked! The crawfish/shrimp combo is my go-to.

Kid-friendliness: They have a few kids' options.“

Never did you have to ask them for anything twice. They were on top of their job. The food was fabulous. In our group we had boiled crawfish, shrimp, onions, and sausage. We had chicken tenders and shrimp poboys. Not one single complaint about the food, atmosphere or the hospitality. We will definitely be back.“

“During a recent visit to The Lunch Box, a quaint diner known for its Louisiana dinner with creole dishes, my husband and I had an enjoyable experience overall. The Lunch Box has a unique and nostalgic ambiance, adorned with various lunchboxes that instantly took me back to my childhood. It seems to be a popular spot, especially among locals and older patrons looking for a quick and affordable lunch.

I opted for the shrimp po' boy, which was decent and flavorful. I'd rate it a 3.75 out of 5. My husband tried the fried pork chop special. Although it had good flavor, the pork was a bit dry, so we would rate it a 3.25 out of 5.

The standout feature of our visit was undoubtedly the friendly and welcoming staff. They were attentive and added a pleasant touch to our dining experience. While the food had its ups and downs, the overall atmosphere and service made it a worthwhile visit.

If you're in the mood for some creole dishes and a trip down memory lane with its unique decor, The Lunch Box is worth checking out.“

“Loved it!!!! I haven’t had real seafood in a hot minute. I knew it would be good when I pulled up to the building. I smelled the spice as soon as I walked in, I ordered crawfish, snow crab legs and blue crabs. We went with the mild seasoning (I smelled the spice and my baby is NY born soooo…) anyway… the taste was amazing, very flavorful and not too spicy… Spiced enough to have your nose running but not overbearing. It was cooked to order, still hot after 30mins plus and the lady brought the pans to us (which she didn’t have to do, but I thought when she said 20mins that I’d give them 30mins before going in). Great meal!!! Would definitely go again!!! Just in town for the football tournament but I’d take another weekend drive to get some more.“

We usually get the 6lb combo once a week during the season. No other restaurant can come close to getting that amount of business from us. And the claws on their crawfish....easiest peeling I've ever had.“

“Charlie’s Seafood – 4.1 / 5 Stars

What Stands Out

Generous, well-seasoned portions – The Large Seafood Plate (two catfish + 10 shrimp with salad, bread & choice of fries or fried rice) comes in around $13 and consistently satisfies .

Signature egg rolls and popcorn shrimp – Egg rolls are frequently praised as “best I’ve had in the area so far” , and popcorn shrimp plates boast a 96% thumbs-up rating .

Speed & friendliness – Customers rave about fast, courteous drive-thru service and a clean, casual dining area .

Wide menu variety – From classic fried fish plates, shrimp burgers, shrimp fried rice, lo mein, to chicken tenders and burgers, they cover both seafood and Asian-inspired comfort .

Where It Can Slip

Spice inconsistency – Some orders, even when marked mild, arrive overly spicy, and seasoning can vary meal to meal .

Quality dips occasionally – A few customers cited dry chicken tenders and soggy fries or stale poboys during off-days .

Not a fine-dining setup – It's primarily take-out with limited dine-in; service can slow during peak times, and mistakes happen—though they’re usually made right .

Best Bets

Large Seafood Plate – For value and flavor.

Egg Rolls – A standout “local favorite.”

Popcorn Shrimp Plate – High thumbs-up rating and dependable crowd-pleaser.

Lo Mein – A tasty detour if you want something beyond fried sea fare.

Final Take

Charlie’s Seafood is a solid go-to for hearty, affordable gulf-style seafood with friendly service and speedy takeout. It shines brightest for value-conscious eaters craving classic fried seafood or even lo mein. Just be aware of slight inconsistencies in spice and quality during busy times.

Rating 4/ 5 — dependable, flavorful, and unbeatable for the price, but occasional seasoning swings and service hiccups prevent a.“
