“The BEST BOILED CRAWFISH . Always HOT & FRESH .
If you’re a seafood lover, this spot is an absolute must-visit! It’s about 10 minutes from the city. From the moment pulling up , you can smell the seasoning from the seafood. It’s edible for everyone when it comes to spices . If you like it really spicy ask for some spicy sauce.

The shrimp boil was packed with juicy shrimp, corn, and potatoes, all cooked to perfection and I added in that mouthwatering buttery garlic sauce with some spicy sauce!! 10 out of 10. My absolute favorite, though, was the crawfish though —JUICY , SEASONED , and so fresh it practically melt in my mouth. I brag to EVERYONE about the CRAWFISH.

The service was top-notch, too. Wally at the front counter was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, even offering great recommendations for pairings.

What really impressed me was the balance between quality and value. The portions were generous, the flavors were bold, and every bite felt like a treat.

⭐ Rating: 10/10
I’ll definitely be back soon! If you’re craving fresh, flavorful seafood with amazing service, this is the place to go.

“THE FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I LOVE ITTT THE FOOD COMES PRETTY QUICK AND THE ATMOSPHERE IS A BEAUTIFUL AND COZY VIBE. With a hint of club added to ittttt! My new favorite meal here is the fried shrimp loaded potatoes!! I've eaten here before and never added a review! So I'll add my old picture!!“

“I had been fishing around Venice LA and stopped by Captian Larry's on the way back to Minnesota. I ordered a Shrimp Poboy sandwich, it was excellent. The staff was professional, fun and helpful. I would definitely stop again.“

“The food was outstanding!! Great prices as well, we had 3 people in total, I recommend the bayou boil and a combination of a smaller plate which had more crab, corn and potatoes with the viet garlic and cajun seasoning. Nice man as well with the braids! (I believe his name was Boss, sorry I can’t remember his name) Emptied our seafood bags as well! Food had great seasoning and the crab was easy to pull. I definitely recommend trying this place!🦀🦞🦐“

“i got a meat pie & a 3 piece fish plate, all fries (usually comes with fries, salad & toast). everything is delicious!
Don't think you're going to a 5star restaurant. This place is a hole in the wall & takeout only, as are most of the best seafood spots in the city.
If you want fancy, go to the quarter, this place is for real, good food.“

“Customer service was on point. Servers welcome you like family. The atmosphere was jazzy and a vibe with the N.O. music. The food arrived quickly and was well seasoned. Will definitely be back.“

“This place is definitely a hidden gem 💎 The food is always fresh, hot, delicious and tasty! I was really happy to see this dinner still here after 12 years of moving back home. I was also happy they affected veggie omelets with cheese and cheese 🧀 grits! It was made fresh to order and served in no time! The service was amazing and I loved the food. I highly recommend this dinner!!! MUST GOT“

“We went to Da Parish Snack & Snowballs for opening day and the buy get one free special. Service was quick, polite, and friendly. I love snowballs and have always gone to the one closer to my house that I've gone to since I was a child but after our visit today, we will drive a little further to come here! The chocolate was delicious and the cheesecake flavor was amazing! I was also surprised at how generous the sizes are, we bought mediums and they were quite big. They were also very generous with the syrup which we loved since dry snowballs aren't as good. My kids love that they also have snack food and candy. Having a baby, it's also convenient that they have a drive thru! We will def. be back!“

“I love everything about them. From the location, to the staff, to the food. Very clean. I love that they know their customers by name. As soon as I walk, I'm ALWAYS greeted by name & they already know what I'm getting. I refused to go to any other spot.“

“I've been eating here for years, and the consistently friendly service and excellent food keep me coming back. Their lo-mein is unbeatable, and the grilled catfish and pork chops are also fantastic. It might not be a 5-star spot, but it’s definitely a great find.“

“Classic home cooking in the parish...but this place is hard to beat!! I ordered the Friday special--shrimp pasta with 2 big catfish filets, corn and garlic bread. That meal was fire!!! And plenty enough to share! The wife had a cup of gumbo(it was more like a bowl!) that was FULL of chicken and sausage!! The employees were super friendly and the prices were very fair. Don't sleep on this place.“

“My husband and I come here all the time and it is so good!! The shrimp tacos and grilled chicken wraps are some of the best we’ve ever had. 1000/10 recommend!“

“Fiery Crab's garlic butter sauce should be illegal. It’s THAT good“

“I started to call this place a "best kept secret", but I'm not sure how much of a secret it can be with 2 or 3 customers inside this small store seemingly at ALL TIMES. An employee at nearby OPSB told me their gumbo was great - I went once and now I go back almost every time I'm on the west bank. it's an unassuming small shop that sells eveything from seafood (whole crab, crawfish, fish plates, etc) to random cash register fodder. Dont be distracted though- get the gumbo.“

“Wonderful service by friendly employees. Food was great and big portions too.“

“good food at reasonable prices. Friendly staff.“

“SOME OF THE BEST CAJUN FOOD IVE EVER EATED THERE YUMMY THE CLASSIC CATFISH IS GOOD AND THE FRIES WITH CAJUN SEASONING ALSO THE CAJUN BEANS ARE REALLY GOOD. ALSO IF YOUR LIKE MORE BAYOU TYPE FOODS INSTEAD OF SEA FOOD ASK FOR THE SPICY SHRIMP GUMBO ALSO THE STAFF IS WHITE CAJUNS AND IT IS A TRADITIONAL CAJUN RESTAURANT ONE OF THE BEST I KNOW“

“For gas station food this was some of the best I’ve had. I ordered wings and a friend seafood plate with fried rice. The wings are very similar to KFC hot wings but better. Even their Red Dragon sauce is similar to the KFC candy apple wing sauce from the early 2000s. Will definitely come back for the wings.“

“HOW I GOT MY lOVER BACK WITH THE HELP OF mr Ihenyen who helped me to bring back my lover to me within few hours I am with her now and we are happily together and very grateful for what you have done for me mr Ihenyen if you have issues with your marriage or relationship you can get in touch with him here www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063770276176“

“The food is phenomenal it has such a homey feeling that welcomes you with each bite. You will never leave dissatisfied. The service is very generous everyone is very welcoming. I absolutely love this place it is like a hidden gem“

“A Hidden Gem in New Orleans East – Saint Manchus!

Steven customer service is top-tier! From the moment we walked into Saint Manchu the vibe was welcoming and full of good energy. I’ve never seen an owner do it all—Steven was running the register, cooking the food, and still taking time to greet and engage with every customer. That kind of dedication is rare.

And let’s talk about the food—the gumbo was a 10 out of 10! Rich, flavorful, and made with love. You can taste the soul in every bite. If you’re anywhere near New Orleans East, do yourself a favor and stop by Saint Manchus. Highly recommended!“

“This restaurant is a must stop EVERY time I’m in town visiting family. My Lawd I always get the shrimp sandwich on bun but I got the hot sausage patties po-boy as well this time. Also grabbed a pound of shrimp and a pound of crawfish. I know I was being big eyed because I was hungry but I didn’t regret it because everything was good, per usual. My mom tasted the crawfish and looovvveeed the favor. I got the regular spice level and she said it was just right, not too spicy. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend.“

“yummy seafood & addicting liquid love seasoning/butter ooo child good yeah“

“Go Get You Some 🤤“

“My favorite Poboys in New Orleans!“

“we heard a lot of good things and saw all the posts on social media so we had to come try the food while we were in New Orleans. we pulled up today right at closing time and even though they were already shutting down, they took our order anyway. their customer service is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ + the drinks are SOOO good. the food? BETTER than we expected and we KNEW it’d be good. everything is seasoned just right and has a ton of flavor. i’d come to new orleans JUST to eat here.“

“the best 👌🏾 hands down the chicken and biscuits“

“Best poboys in town lovely owners“

“We had a breakfast wrap that was Amaazing............“

“Best po-boys... We've been eating here for a number of years. Our go-to especially for breakfast po-boys. The best bread ever...made locally in NOLA. Not sure why they didn't have Bloody Mary's this time...they have had in the past....but sandwiches still worth the visit.“

“Great service and delicious food“

“My brother and I went there to try the chicken wings and fries. It was the best we'd had in a very long time! We went back in 2 days! The chicken was seasoned very well. I live in Metairie and I don't mind going that far out, because they're the BEST!!!???“

“I love the breaded, bbq wings over here! The wait time is never too long, and the service is always nice.I rated the atmosphere as a 1 out of 5 mainly because it is drive thru only. You place your order then park, and eventually your order will be brought out to you. Again, I’ve never experienced a long wait time!“

“The boil is always so good. Also the cooked seafood is so good. Great prices.“

“I like love it because of its simplicity, awesome food, and service. The waiting staff don't bother, you get your food almost immediately (fresh and fast) and if you choose to eat their the booths are very secluded so you and a friend, co worker, date etc can eat undisturbed (my favorite part). Highly recommend“

“Skip the seafood in the French Quarter and head to this spot. This is where the locals come to eat. Large menu, great prices and original Nola food. Delicious!!“
