31 Best Seafood Restaurants in Metairie

“Cute and clean place with great atmosphere!We ordered pupusas, plato paisa, dessert and drinks. We left only empty plates there. Everything was delicious. Pupusas with the warm sauce-amazing! Grilled meats and shrimp-perfect, thick and tasty flan, refreshing rice water! Thank you for all.P.S. This place has All day menu and pictures of the food in the menu - this is very helpful.“

“We had salty oysters, oysters on the half shell, Gator bites, and crawfish meatballs. Everything was delightful, but we were surprised that they can't count to 12. We were shorted one oyster, and at the price they charge, that's a big deal. When we called it to their attention, they graciously brought us the one we were missing plus one extra. All in all we had a great experience. Our waiter was top notch, thr atmosphere great, and Bryon was a delight to visit with.“

“Ate there for dinner last night. The seafood was amazing! Loved the salads we both ordered with it. We would both highly recommend. The staff were super friendly too. Just eat there already!!' The food was like what you would get at a first class Nola Restaurant on a more doable scale. Also the view of Lake Ponchartrain from the park close by at sunset was lovely. (Boardwalk over the marsh.“

“First time here. And it was extraordinary! Was traveling for business and invited out by the people I was with. Parking is easy, get reservations early, and the atmosphere is what you want. People are there to enjoy the food without it being loud.“

“This is some serious fried seafood comfort food and sides. Special bonus: gluten free fry so I can eat most of their menu! Added: Been going back regularly, consistently the best. And yes, there is outdoor seating you can eat at in the covered courtyard, but I think it's shared with the other shops, too.“

“Had a craving for boiled shrimp. I don't know why. Searched Yelp and Bon Temps Boulet's came up. I had never heard of it. It was less than 2 miles from my house, and apparently I had driven past it many times without knowing it was there. Reviews were excellent, so I jumped in the car and drove there. Funky little place. But great vibe. Nice 5 person bar, maybe 7 tables inside. I ordered the boiled shrimp to go. A pound of headless boiled shrimp for $13. The gentleman that took my order was attentive, but also perfectly funky. I can see why some people might find him off putting. I didn't. Shrimp came out in less than 5 minutes. The shrimp were some of the best I have ever had. They were perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend. And I will be headed back this week. Check it out.“

“We stopped here on our way out of town on vacation because I still hadn't tried a po boy. I have no idea of these are authentic, but they were amazing! I got the shrimp and fried green tomato with roumalade, and I am going to be thinking about that sandwich for a long time. We also tried the boudin balls and the red beans and rice, and those were great as well. Affordable, fun ambiance with all the football memorabilia. Would definitely be eating here once a week if I lived in the area!“

“Excellent customer service! Excellent food! We ordered to-go & picked up for a large family gathering. Lots of food preferences & dietary restrictions and Zea was the perfect answer. Seafood was fresh and well seasoned. Vegetables were perfectly prepared as well. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“they have great food, the best roast beef po boy I've ever had. I also really like the chicken parmesan and the veal parmesan. the plates come with salad vegetable and bread very large portions. it is definitely worth the drive if you do not live in the neighborhood. they also have a nice selection of beers in the cooler“

“A friend recommended this place since "everything on the menu is to die for" and I must agree! Hush puppies were perfect, catfish platter satisfying and filling, ended it all with bread pudding like I've never had before, amazing service and food ?“

“Came in today and got their special of the day - the spaghetti. It was really good. Packed with flavor and very satisfying. Also had the mixed vegetables that were great as well. The service was great, everyone was kind and welcoming. I got mines to go, but there's a decent amount of seating inside. It's a very chill place to go to and relax while you eat. I'll definitely be back. I keep hearing about these seafood egg rolls, which I'll get on my next visit. Please go out and support these good people.“

“My wife and I have really grown to love the Metairie Carrabba’s. When it originally opened years ago, we went once and were not impressed so despite leaving nearby we never went back. A friend mentioned it maybe 6-months ago and she swore it was pretty good so we gave it another chance and we are glad we did. We now maybe go 3 times or so a month. We had one problem with a server lately and I asked for a manager and Blake promptly solved the issue and took care of us the rest of the night. The food has always been very good, the service pretty quick and the bar service very good too. Our two favorite servers are Mel and Sara but with the exception of that one night the service has always been great too. I recommend Carrabba’s for a dinner for two or a small group of friends. Their “wine dinners” are also a hit for us. It’s nice to have somewhere close to home that you know is rock solid on the food & service. Thanks to Blake and his team!“

“Lundigras day . They were getting slammed but were polite and honest about wait times for food . I had a beer and the wait time was only 45 minutes. No quality decline on the roast beef bo boy in spite of the crowd. Onion rings a must. Old school establishment where everyone knows each other. Priceless. Glenn“

“Finally a Thai place that has great spice levels! Almost every other place I’ve tried, their spiciest level is NOT spicy. I decided to do the middle level which is level 3, more spicy (levels range from 1-5 where 5 is the spiciest called Thai spicy). I’m glad I did level 3 because it was the perfect amount of kick, and I loved it!!Ordered two appetizers: shrimp roll ups (very similar to crab Rangoon but rolled up like an eggroll, came as an order of 3, filling had more cream cheese than I expected but still relatively good) and chicken satay skewers (came as an order of 4, good flavor but the meat is a bit tough, brown dipping sauce that comes with it is on the creamer side, and it was really good)Ordered four entrees: chicken pad Thai, beef pad see ew, beef pad kee mow (drunken noodles), and Tom yum fried rice — all dishes were delicious and had so much flavor!!!! Highly recommend the fried rice. Very different but a good differentService was immaculate. Very attentive, courteous, and answered all my questions. The restaurant is very small and houses may be 25-30 people max so be prepared to have to wait if you come during peak hours. Restrooms are also locked outside in the hallway that is shared with surrounding businesses. Overall, very pleasant experience and would return/recommend to others!“

“Wait staff was attentive and kind with personality! The hot from the oven bread to start was awesome! The complimentary meatball appetizer was so good we inquired about spaghetti and meatball entree ( which they don't offer btw!). Steaks were cooked perfectly. Salad was fresh. Great overall experience A bit pricey, but an excellent big event dinner experience.“

“I've always been a raw oyster only guy. Let me tell you, their charbroil oysters are a game changer. Tried for the first time tonight. Insane. Fast and friendly service, great margaritas and the fried seafood platter was exceptional. Definitely going back.“

“Visited with friends. Busy place, long wait for large party. Had the bisque and salad. I plan to visit again when in the area. Catfish, shrimp, potatoes and potato salad was yummy. I sampled from my friends. Potato boiled with spice is a signature with meal like a bread. I added to my bisque and Caesar salad. Very good. Daiquiri was delish also“

“Everything was great. Our original two servers were very good. However, one of the food runners was very rude. Even to the other 2 servers. We spoke to the manager just to let them know and they were very nice and insisted on bringing us a free dessert. The reason I share this is not to receive anything for free, just to show how it really is a team effort and one bad team member can make or break you. Thank you Flemings for trying to make this right, I hope the runner was just having a bad day and everything was resolved.“

“My husband and I have gone to Furys for years. One of our favorites. Burger is one of the best servers. He is polite and always has a smile. The food is excellent. All the staff are tops. Squally in the kitchen is the best. Highly recommend trying them.“

“Fresh and delicious seafood at a very reasonable price! It's great to be able to pick up some fresh filets and cook them the same day. They even have a great selection of frozen seafood and fish.There are a lot of seafood markets in the area, Schaefer is my go-to. I'm super impressed and will continue to buy from here.“

“They have good boiled food but I was tweaking for some crawfish so they were my first go to. 11.29 a lb is absurd but I still bought 2 lbs. and I was upset because the spice was stronger then the flavor. And I love me some spice and seasoning but I couldn't even enjoy because sucking the heads was like putting pure pepper on my tongue. Found some for 5.99 a lb elsewhere and I mean they were on point. Ate the other place 5.99 a lb crawfish 4 days straight.“

“I've been to Hummus and More a few times and have enjoyed it each time. Tonight we had a larger group and we were celebrating a birthday. Service was great, thank you, Mabel. The owners sent out complimentary dessert for the group. A very kind gesture thank you.“

“I love this place!!! I visit at least once a year when I'm in town visiting family. Tessie's in a quite location/ neighborhood with friendly servers, cozy atmosphere. High recommended for those looking to leave the tourist traps in the city:)IYKYK;).“

“Fabulous Fish! Ordered catfish dinner - perfectly fried catfish filets sitting on hot, buttered French bread, with deliciously creamy potato salad, served with both tartar and cocktail sauces. The dinner comes with a mid-sized green salad. The blue cheese dressing was nice. There was enough food for two meals. The fish had a clean, fresh taste and arrived hot. It was my first visit and I was pleasantly surprised by how well-cooked the food was. Ambiance and location are completely secondary to the quality of the food. It is clean, comfortable, and unassuming. The waitstaff was very pleasant and accommodating.“

“Didn't try the food but the service for our drinks was amazing. The atmosphere was awesome...I have never been to Louisiana and I'm so glad my boyfriend and I visited on Saturday night for karaoke. Drinks are same as my favorite dive bar in Vegas (Dinos) and we plan to come back foe sure!! Thank you for having us!!“

“I was looking for seafood nearby my home and came across this place . Everything Is cooked to order . I got a pound of snowcrabs , 2 pounds of crawfish , 2 hot sausage sandwich, 1 softshell crab sandwich , onion rings , fries , and potatoes all under 100.00 . The crawfish was ok and the potatoes was sweet (very weird) The hot sausage and soft shell crab sandwich was AMAZING . Onion rings fresh but flavor was basic and the fries were CRISPY. BUT let me tell you about the snow crabs!! They we're so full and delicious . The Garlic butter was outstanding and they gave you plenty Overall 7 out of 10 Will I revisit ? Yes“

“Growing up in the city will sometimes make you think the best food in the area is only there,but Short Stop Poboys are the best poboys Ive ever eaten outside of the city. The service and atmosphere were perfect and they have a lot of local items like ROMAN CANDY and ZAPPS !!! that will keep me coming back.The Shrimp Dressed was pretty good,but my only issue is that they could use better shrimp. That frozen stuff is a no-no and if you've had a really good shrimp poboy you know the shrimp have to be fresh“

“I've got to say that this is hands down the second best burger I've had in my entire life! (I'm ashamed to admit that the best was actually in Shreveport.) Big, juicy, cooked perfectly!The wait staff was cheery and helpful but a little bit slow.Everything looked clean and fresh!“

“This was my first time at Mr Ed's in Bucktown. Fortunately we arrived before the dinner crowd and were able to get a table right away. By the time we left the place was getting packed. Our waitress was a little distracted, even before the crowds came so don't know what that was about but we all have a bad day.I ordered the stuffed bell peppers and although they weren't huge in size... man were they stuffed to the gills with tasty seafood. These were not stuffed peppers mostly with breading.Definitely plan on stopping again next time I'm in New Orleans to try their chicken liver dinners, one of my favorites and very hard to find.“

“My friend and I have lunch two or three times a month and I randomly pick a place so we are always trying something new. We had decided on going to the mall so wanted to eat lunch first. I read they have great burgers so...need I say more. Great local place outside patio we were the first people in excellent service the food was spot on. Yes the burgers are that good“

“I absolutely love this place. We go for breakfast, order dinner, and I now use them for my catering. Everything I have ever ordered here has exceeded my expectations. This is a solid home cooked meal at a helluva price. I highly recommend Empty Nest!“
