“Located in the heart of Harahan, Bobby's Seafood emerges as a cherished destination for those in pursuit of genuine Louisiana culinary delights.This seafood sanctuary offers both aficionados and casual diners a chance to indulge in the state's rich flavors through its market-style presentation of fresh and expertly boiled seafood, alongside classic po' boys filled with shrimp, oyster, catfish, and even roast beef.Bobby's is more than just a seafood market; it's a warm, family-operated gem where the essence of Louisiana-style cooking is celebrated daily.The space is unpretentious yet inviting, prioritizing the quality of its offerings and the satisfaction of its guests over elaborate decor.With its reasonable pricing and commitment to top-notch seafood coupled with exceptionally welcoming service, Bobby's Seafood stands as a must-visit spot for anyone craving an authentic taste of Louisiana, be it for a quick bite or a sumptuous Cajun feast.My recent visit to Bobby's Seafood for their much-acclaimed boiled crawfish turned out to be a gastronomic success story. I got a hefty five-pound order, from which I meticulously peeled 136 tails, encountering only one questionable contender – a testament to the quality and care put into each batch.This endeavor yielded an impressive 27.2 tails per pound, a figure that speaks volumes about the generous portions and the meatiness of the crawfish served at Bobby’s.The fruits of my labor were twofold: two cups of succulent crawfish tails ready to be transformed into various delectable recipes and sixteen cups of rich crawfish shells, earmarked for a flavorful stock.This not only promised future culinary delights but also showcased the value and sustainability inherent in my purchase, allowing me to maximize every ounce of my order.Bobby's Seafood delivers on the promise of well-cooked, perfectly spicy crawfish.The seasoning was masterfully balanced, offering that sought-after kick without overwhelming the palate or igniting a firestorm in your mouth.It's a spicy equilibrium that enhances rather than masks the natural, sweet flavor of the crawfish.My experience at Bobby’s Seafood was overwhelmingly positive, marked by high-quality seafood and the kind of hearty, flavorful meal that leaves you planning your next visit before the first has even concluded.”

“I found the place to great place with a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. With the outdoor patio seating makes an even more relaxing spot to sit back and talk.Parking: Parking lot is good for about 15 to 20 vehicles from what I figure.”

“Just celebrated my 40th birthday here and the owners went out of their way to make it amazing! The drinks were flowing, the atmosphere was fun, it was a great place to celebrate. Very easy to work with, definitely would recommend!”

“My husband and I found this gem a few weeks ago and returned again this evening. The food is authentic, homemade and fresh. The owner is very friendly and made sure we were satisfied with everything. I will definitely say if you’re looking for good Mexican food, skip the chain locations and give the small business guy a chance.”

“I ordered the catfish with Crawfish Julie sauce & sweet potatoe fries ! The staff ,was very nice ! Even came out to meet my Washington state husky Dawgs ! We family now ,hear!Real good to meet good people in a nice place !”

“I've been a PJ's Coffee fan for nearly 20 years at this point, and this is my favorite location. They're consistent with the drinks, the staff is always friendly, and it's got a great neighborhood feel. Plenty of parking too -- front and back parking lots. If you're into small, locally owned coffee shops, this one's the best!Parking: 2 parking lots: 1 in the front and 1 in the back. If one is full, check the other.Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly location”

“Pros: it's fro yo, good variety of flavors (I had cake batter) has indoor and outdoor seating Cons: they were playing creepy piano music, like in a spa. No thanks. If that's a corporate or owner decision- stop subjecting your staff and customers to that! Lol I'm glad it was cool enough to sit outside. The stale-est gummy bears ever. They were almost crunchy. The cold changes the consistency, but it's not supposed to like this. First time in my life I've ever encountered it. The other toppings (Oreos, cookie, cookie dough) were fine.”

“Had the pleasure of meeting the owner Juan- he's a solid guy and amazing chef. I let him choose my dinner and it was extremely far from disappointing. He made me spaghetti with his homemade sauce and a side of fried veal. Such a simple meal yet taste was beyond simple. What also made the food taste better was the excellent customer service Juan provided. He's passionate about his craft and that's a wonderful thing to see in person. Bless you Juan and good luck !”

“The best subway ever. If you are near by you should definitely stop bye and get a sandwich or something. WE LOVE SUBWAY WE LOVE SUBWAY.. this is the subway I go to every time I get subway. And I love subway... so as you can tell this place is amazing so obviously 5 stars”

“Good stuff. ? I don't frequent this location often, but when I do, it's never busy, and the drinks are well made. My wife usually orders online while we're already in route to the store. Which is about a 5 to 10 minute drive, and our drinks are always ready and waiting when we get there. I would've given them 5 stars if their prices were a little cheaper. Hence, the reason we don't frequent this location often, or any Starbucks for that matter.”

“Excellent food!The service was great and the food was even better.Everything was ready fast even though I came in to place my order, I didn’t have to wait long.I definitely recommend this restaurant for takeout. Dine in is not available at this restaurant since covid so definitely plan on take out.”

“The experience, and the food was equally as amazing! We as a big family typically have a hard time finding somewhere we all like the food and most places are not happy to see us walk in lol However, the service was so good here that my son even told us it was an amazing service!! The food was so good that my Wife said we may have to come back for dinner!! Thank you guys!!”

“I stop there in Harahan, in the mornings and the ladies that work there are friendly and very good at the service they provide...I always leave with a smile that they provided”

“Just an update for management and anyone who can't find the new, giant beautiful location (old location closed and is now a Vape On):Google updated your address to the new location but when you click on the address or search for Smoothie King, Google Maps still brings you to the old location. I contacted Google to update but they denied my request. You should have better luck.For customers: If you simply type in the new address, it'll bring you to within just a few feet of the new location. Can't miss it!”

“I had the Bento Box Lunch Special. The price was quite inexpensive at $9.99, but the quality just was not there. I ordered the beef cooked medium, but it came out as chicken. I didn't want to wait, so I just ate it. It was OK, but nothing special and certainly not as good as that other local Japanese restaurant (on Citrus). My wife enjoyed the Playboy Roll. It looked better than what I had and my daughter had the Grilled Chicken Lunch special. She enjoyed that. If it were just me, I would give 3 stars, but the other meals looked pretty good. My advice would be to skip the lunch specials and just order the specialty sushi rolls. I've had those before and would recommend.”

“Food Is Amazing! Every time me and my family come here we always got the best service.Our server Bosco is amazing, he checks for refills and always makes sure we're good. Great people and Great food.Recommended!”

“Delicious food and an amazing dining experience. Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: They take great care to accommodate. Especially for celiacs and vegan people.”

“We had an amazing experience there. It was our first time going and we happened to show up the night of the pop-up for chef Omar from Detroit. Not only was the food delicious, but the cause was even better. I have an immense amount of respect for any establishment that cares about human rights.”

“They Got Vegan Poor boys!!!Parkway Bakery is a true gem for poor boys enthusiasts. Their wide selection, steeped in tradition and history, offers a nostalgic and delicious experience. What sets them apart is their exceptional customer service.Justin went above and beyond to cater to my vegan needs, crafting a mouthwatering Beyond Meat and portabella poor boy on a separate clean grill. It's a rare find to encounter such dedication to accommodating dietary preferences.Highly recommend for both traditional and vegan diners alike!A must-try for anyone looking to venture off the tourist beaten path in New Orleans. Located in a historic mid city neighborhood, it offers an authentic taste of the city with its iconic poor boys.Whether you're a local or a visitor, Parkway Bakery promises a delicious and memorable dining experience that's worth seeking out.Vegetarian options: On the menu: beyond meat poorboyOff the menu: Portabella with onions and red peppers poorboyDietary restrictions: At my request they fired up a seperate unused clean grill to make my vegan orders.”

“Mannn I'm not even from here. I saw this place and looked it up. I was a fan but had to see if it was as good as it sounded and looked. Twas better. Excellent quality top notch product and service. The amount of care and thought into everything plus the execution.. there just are no words.. if I could give more stars I would. If yall live in this area support this place and make sure they stay being able to provide this to the community. You'll thank me later. Taylor thanks for the great service and conversation. You guys are awesome. Keep on keeping on!”

“Completely exceptional dining experience. I am so glad we found this little gem. The menu is set daily, based on what is fresh. And it is made to perfection. Our server, Rene, was extremely kind, and engaging. I truly didn’t expect such a good experience, considering the atmosphere - candidly it’s very ~meh~. But I considered that part of its charm. Also, the prices are totally fair and reasonable. Don’t sleep on this place. It’s so so so good.”

“Keyshawn was not a friendly server. Tracy was amazing! Food was great. Highly recommend visiting this historic establishment. Please retrain Keshawn to treat ALL customers the same and try to contain her unfriendliness. Overall we did enjoy our experience! A must try!”

“Had the most divine time and the staff was amazing. I got to know the owner's children who are amazing young men. They were very welcoming and informative about the history of the restaurant. Had the red snapper with rice and the veggie tray with injera bread. Gonna use my leftover injera for twist-on crepes in the morning.”

“We had a sublime experience here, it beautiful night, we sat outside smelling jasmine, great service, great food, great wine and cocktail recommendations, I highly recommend this place!”

“One of the best dining experiences my wife and I ever had. It is a true culinary delight that awakens your taste buds. Braiden was an excellent server who takes pride in his work and it shows! Thank you for a wonderful evening.”

“Outstanding food! Probably the best jerk chicken I've had! Service was okay - could've refilled waters and they didn't get me a receipt, but the owner came and talked and was great. A little generic in the atmosphere, but not bad. Overall would go again, for sure.”

“Nice little sushi place. Pricey for the portions. Portions are very small, the presentation on the sushi was plain. Single sushi orders had a better presentation. The rice bowls had a good portion and presentation. Everything we tried was very good. The spicy sushi we tried was not at all spicy but was good. The salmon belly was really good and I recommend this highly. I was not highly impressed with the whole experience because I left hungry and would not return here for a second trip. The sushi portions are very small.”

“The looks of the food does no justice. You have to actually try their food. Living in a world with so much inflation and bad unhealthy food, I left here feeling like I received my monies worth. I ate half my plate and I had energy to do other activities afterwards. I walked the French Quarter and didn’t feel tired. I finished the rest of my plate for dinner and instead of feeling tired and sleepy, I decided to come here and write this post. Worth every second of my time. Eating vegetables are an exciting experience, especially when you can eat them and feel good.”

“We were welcomed even we made it nick of time before closing. We ordered Special Fried Oysters, Shrimps & Beignet and Sandwich/Soup (Shrimp Po'Boy and Gumbo). Blue Hurricanes! Did not disappoint. Cozy interior dining!”
