NOLA Crawfish King combines two of my favorite food groups with their offerings in BOTH seafood & BBQ. They also offer a notable burger which is quite a hefty example of the burger genre. NOLA Crawfish King is noted for having quickly being one of the top New Orleans BBQ restaurants and also offers an interesting selection of nice burgers and other sandwiches on top of their great seafood options. So far I have sampled the BBQ brisket, a brisket bomb, their burger, their Rueben and of course the crawfish. NOLA Crawfish King has some of the spiciest and best crawfish I've had in a long while and since Big Fisherman closed on Magazine Street the current champ of having the best seasoned crawfish in New Orleans is the NOLA Crawfish King as measured by my taste buds. Overall NOLA Crawfish King rally offers a lot of delicious food options that really deserves more recognition.My video review of NOLA Crawfish King Seafood & BBQ is here:https://youtu.be/sz45ZHjkLjs

I had to come checkout this place after family brought dinner home the other night. We had the combo of brisket, ribs and pull pork. Also had a catfish combo and spicy boiled shrimp with sides of crawfish mac & cheese. It was tasty, flavorful and the meat were tender and seasoned to perfection. The portions were alot and was worth the price. I craved for it the following day and my daughter brought me so I can get another round of good food. I love their spicy Cajun boiled shrimp and crayfish Mac & Cheese. They ran out of the brisket when I got there so my suggestion is to get there when it opens.

I wish I lived closer to the restaurant. It was the best food so far in three weeks of vacation. Service was good once you got through the order line. The place was packed both inside and outside. We loved the shrimp, the coating was light and crunchy on my fish. The fish was fresh tasting. And the sweet potato fries were perfect. My wife had shrimp and loved it.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs would be difficult because of crowded space.

Hate to give such a bad review because the staff is very nice. However I didn't travel over 1000 miles for mediocre food. We had a mishap with an ordered boil. They were kind enough to give us part of our money back. The shrimp were overcooked and the Mac and cheese was not your grandma's. The catfish po boy was more bread than fish. Came to NOLA to eat great food. This wasn't it. On to the next establishment.

OMG!!! This is our first time ordering from here. My son just ordered from uber eats and when I tell you that the food does not disappoint. I usually nibble off things but I ordered the rib eggroll and I ate the whole thing before I noticed it came with a sauce lol. The crawfish were AMAZING! We will order again and I will tell everyone! YESSSSSSS

Good service, very hospitable and friendly staff, small place but has adequate seating. Very homey feel. Crawfish was amazing and perfectly seasoned. The turkey neck was to die for. French fries were perfectly cooked; you can request them without seasoning if needed. Burger without the bun was delicious. Definitely will return and highly recommend.

The crawfish here is very good & delicious!!! I love coming here for crawfish and I love how affordable it is (5 a pound). The crawfish is always rich in flavor. I love that they offer gloves for folks for crawfish. I took two stars off for the service. Sometimes I come and whoever is on front register is proudly on their phones with airpods in and sometimes they eat in front of us while tryna take our orders.Dine in is cheaper by 50 cents for crawfish.

You don't go to The Crawfish King for atmosphere. You go for the crawfish, but NOW, I'll go for their BBQ! It might have topped my favorite BBQ in NOLA, Blue Oak. EVERYTHING was perfect. Brisket? Juicy and smoky. Pulled pork? Incredibly delicious and NOT dry. Ribs? Fall off the bone good. Beans? The BEST I've ever had. Slaw? You won't find better. Fries? Thin, crispy, a little bit of a kick.Here's a caveat, though: to go fries lose their crispiness quickly.
