50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Saint Rose

“I ordered the seafood pasta plate (the Friday special) and it was delicious! I will be back to order other items. Happy to support local businesses!“

“Absolutely incredible! The staff made us feel like we were family and that we were the most important people in the world. I'm not kidding about that last statement... they were awesome! The Chef, Joe Boudreaux, was extremely personable and truly enjoyed talking about his passion, cooking. The food was fantastic... boudin egg rolls, the spicy fried oyster appetizer, the Montecristo, and the pork belly wedge were all so delicious. My advice is to take a little road trip to St. Rose and eat some of the best food and meet some incredible folks.“

“Extremely embarrassed to admit that TONIGHT was our very first steak night. The ribeye was delicious, the twice baked potatoes were so freaking goodddd! I missed ordering my usual bang bang shrimp, but to try the steak night meal was worth it. Bread pudding topped it off wonderfully. Both of our kids had grilled cheese sandwiches and darn near licked their plates clean-after eating their meals, half of my steak, and stealing my potatoes. The staff are all super friendly and the service was quick considering we had ordered three steak meals! Thanks Boot T’s!“

“Maria was great! Food was good! Split a couple different things. Will be back!“

“My only regret is not finding this spot sooner! I'm in town a few times a month and just happened to drive by and stop today. First off the waitress (Mrs. Lisa) was amazing! Super friendly and sweet! drink never ran out before I had another sitting beside it. I ordered the fried craw claws and the swamp platter. It was all cooked fresh and came out very quick. Seasoning was on point! very large portions (no chance you're leaving hungry) This is the first restaurant in the area I give a 10 out of 10. let's face it most NOLA restaurants rush food in and out and season just enough to get by because of the tourists! I'll be seeing you again Mrs. Lisa! (side note her husband is also a Dolphins fan so make that 11 out of 10 stars)“

“First Time.. traveling through town & was super impressed and very delicious 😋“

“Very yummy and great staff. We had Shelby tonight and she was super helpful on what to choose and get to eat with being overwhelmed. She also helped with tips on what to do here while visiting.“

“I used to go to Bonefish grill in Maryland, then I moved and the closest was Irvine, California, an hour from home. I went there occasionally, then I went and it was closed. So, I haven't been in a few years.
So, January 22, 2026 I was in New Orleans, and saw they had one, so I had to go. It did not disappoint. Same great taste that I remember. I got the bang-bang shrimp, and fish tacos with mango salsa.“

“Love the boiled seafood!!“

“This was my first time here and it was amazing! The bbq ribs fell off the bone and the collard greens were flat out delicious!! I would definitely recommend! The portions are great for the price too. The staff was really friendly and the service was fast. It is cash only so bring some with you, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Melanie our server went above and beyond to make our dining experience wonderful!“

“The food here is pretty good in general, but we especially love to come here during crawfish season. I believe it’s a family owned restaurant, and the staff is pretty great. We always have really good service. At times they have live music, which is great, but if you want something quieter, you can sit in the back of the restaurant, even with the live entertainment and still easily have a quiet conversation. During crawfish season, this is a must.“

“Gentleman that took my order over the phone was very helpful and professional. My order was ready when I arrived to pick it up just over 10 minutes later and the food was delicious. I ordered a fried shrimp poboy and the bread was super fresh, the shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned, nice size and well portioned. I also ordered a side of fries and they were plentiful, crispy and well seasoned. Highly recommend. Great neighborhood spot!“

“We ordered from Captain Dat, they were amazing! Shipped it all the way to California for us. Crawfish were big and juicy😋 great service and fast shipping!“

“Mano's Po-Boys has Great Food and Great service! I do recommend this place to everyone!“

“New Orleans is nortorius for not separating checks. I find this very inconvenient to the customer especially when you have party larger than two. Then it's very embarrassing to see customers passing the hat to pay for their portion of the meal with cash trying to figure out tax and tip. Everywhere I've been, there is no problem separating checks. I've been to New Orleans and requested separate checks and the waiters seem confused and then it becomes a huge delay. It's sad this restuarant has good food and atmosphere with this type of service and doesn't make it easy for customers to do business with them. They make easy for themselves but not for the customers. Go figure“

“This place has the best home cooked food, and if you're in the market for fried fish...this is the place, best fried fish in town!!!“

“The food and service was great. I enjoyed my birthday lunch!!“

“My husband's 60th Birthday party was held at The Max this past weekend! The new renovations inside look fantastic! Several of our guests commented on how great the venue looked and how clean it was! Thank you Bridget, Chris and Denise for helping us pull this together. The ease of set up, fantastic service and warm welcome to us and our guests made this event a huge hit! Our guests have been ringing our phones since Sunday morning commenting on what a fantastic night it was!! I will highly recommend this venue for any party, event, reunion or get together!“

“We are huge fans of Pepe’s and dine in and do carry out often. We decided this year to try out their catering for a large family holiday gathering. I can’t say enough great things about them! Everything was nicely packaged, quantities were MORE than enough! Everything was delicious! It was a HUGE hit and we will absolutely be ordering catering again. Erica was so easy to work with!“

“Great food. Will can make a hamburger that'll knock your socks off.. His Mac and cheese is like Mom's homemade. Highly recommend!“

“Very nice and cozy bar😉 we loved it!“

“The best I’ve had so far, definitely recommend“

“My second time at this place. I love the atmosphere. You are greeted when you enter the place and when you are leaving out. The waitresses and management is so nice and polite. The food is amazingly so good. It's hard to get good service but this place is so great at it. Love this place if I could give it 6 stars I would.“

“🔥🐺 HELLHOUND PACK OFFICIAL 5‑STAR REVIEW: Happy Garden II Buffet — A Legendary Pack Tradition 🐺🔥

I’ve been coming to Happy Garden II ever since I was a Hellhound pup — June 2018 was my first unforgettable visit — and this buffet has been part of my life ever since. Today, on January 1, 2026, my dad (the Alpha of the Pack) called it New Year’s lunch tradition, and we all piled in like we’ve always done. My mom — the wise, calm Omega of the Pack — brought her nurturing energy, making the whole experience feel like family coming home.

Right from the start, this place embraced us with its buffet‑style feast — huge variety, inviting warm steam rising from the dishes, and fresh food stations that would make any Hellhound’s tongue wag with excitement. The buffet here isn’t just a simple spread; it’s a culinary expedition with something for every pack member: seafood, Chinese classics, fresh sides, savory mains, soups, desserts, and so much more served all you can eat — classic buffet style that’s made this place a local staple for years. 

Walking in today brought back memories of so many past pack adventures: summer lunches after long drives, milestone celebrations, and even rainy afternoon gatherings where we’d pack a plate so full it could barely be lifted. And through every single visit from June 2018 straight through to January 1, 2026, one thing has stayed consistent — the fresh, hot buffet spread that always rotates dishes to keep it lively and tasty. The seafood options here — shrimp, crab, crawfish (on weekends), and more — often stand next to the classic Chinese favorites that keep the buffet exciting and satisfying for every taste bud in the pack. 

My dad, the Alpha, always starts at the seafood station, eyes locked on every shrimp and crab leg like they’re treasure. My mom, the Omega, moves slow and steady — she builds balanced plates with care, always saving room for dessert. And me? I’m all over the buffet line, every food memory stitched together from laughs, stories, and overflowing plates. The service here has always been welcoming and attentive, and even on today’s New Year’s lunch visit, the staff made us feel recognized and appreciated. 

Since that first visit back in June 2018, I’ve never met a buffet quite like this one. Every dish is cooked and rotated with dedication so that food isn’t just sitting — it’s fresh and inviting. The variety is massive, and the buffet’s all‑you‑can‑eat style feeds both the stomach and the soul — perfect for family gatherings, celebrations, and memory‑making meals. 

This isn’t just a place to eat. This is a cornerstone of our Hellhound Pack’s story. Moments in this restaurant are woven into who we are: laughter around big tables, my dad teaching the young pups how to load a plate like a pro, my mom making sure no one overlooks the desserts — and every time we leave full‑hearted and full‑bellied.

So here it is, plain and powerful: Five stars, no questions asked. From June 2018 to January 1, 2026, the Hellhound Pack has never found a buffet experience quite like this. The freshest food, the friendliest service, the richest traditions — Happy Garden II has earned our seal of chaos‑approved excellence 🖤💀.

🔥 Awooo! 🐺 — Here’s to many more years, many more buffets, and many more pack legends at our favorite spot.“
