This was my first time coming here as I wanted to see the sun set and the big fish people were catching.
We were told to sit wherever and a server would be with us soon. It was a bit of a busy time because many had just come in off their fishing boats, but it took almost 45 minutes for someone to come by and ask if we were helped yet. We told her we hadn't yet and would like to order.
She took our order, and then it was another 20-30 minutes to just get the drinks. Our food came out a little after that. Our appetizer never showed up.
I got the seafood pasta, which was very salty but overall not bad. The onion rings I ordered as a side were also pretty good. I just had a glass of Chardonnay.
My partner received his order incorrectly. He asked for blackened oysters and crab (which it says is an option on the menu). The waitress (different from the one we ordered from) said that it only comes fried and they don't do blackened ones. Because he doesn't eat fried food, we had them send the whole meal back and decided that it wasn't worth it and he didn't want anything else on the menu.
So in the end we only got my seafood pasta, side of onion rings, one glass of wine and one beer - and that came to $53 after tip.
The view was beautiful and it was fun seeing the fish, but I won't be returning for food. I'll only be returning for a nice drink by the dock.

It was all ok. Took a long time for service. But there are not many options so you get what you get this far south.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crawgators Bar & Grill in Venice, Louisiana is hands down one of the best spots I’ve been to. The food was very good, but the people made it even better. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, it felt like eating with family. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to whenever I’m in town.

Servers seemed annoyed they had customers. When we walked in, 1 server was sitting at a table with her back to us, she didnt even turn around. Just said hello and kept scrolling through her phone. Another server came from the back and seated us after about a minute. We were the only customers. Food was meh. Ordered the gumbo which was burnt, tasted terrible. Not worth the drive and definitely not worth the money.

Even though I never been here I give it 5 stars because Google keeps asking me how this place was
Great place to eat in Venice. Right at the dock where the charter boats bring back their catch of the day. You can have a great meal while watching groups come back, unload and process the fish they caught.

One of my favorite restaurants on the planet is in the not-that-easy-to-get-to town of Venice, Louisiana, located at more or less the end of the road in the Mississippi River delta. It’s about an hour and a half from New Orleans, and worth the trip, especially if you’ve never seen that part of the world. Just search for it on Google maps and you’ll see what I mean.
This trip we had the blackened shrimp po’boy; seafood gumbo chock-full of shrimp, oysters, crab, and redfish; and the alligator bites appetizer. Everything was delicious. The best part was watching all of the sport fishers coming in with their catch. Several had a huge catch of tuna. This shows a monster swordfish, and a big haul of redfish, etc. I can’t overstate how much we enjoyed going out there for the day! Servers were lovely, welcoming and helpful. They have a great marina shop, too. 😁
