This place is busy which is usually a good thing, but I think I came at the busiest time. I came here right after a group a firefighters placed the hugest order ha. Needless to say, I waited quite a while for my poboy. The place is a standardly small seafood shop with a few small stool tables and you can buy seafood, stuffed artichokes, and other things. There is a decent variety of poboys and few places offer a breaded veal cutlet. So, I ordered that and it was ok, probaly not the best breaded veal cutlet I have ever had. Overall, the place is decent and the location is nice too. read more

When i was little all my friends would ride their bikes to stores for candy I'd always detour and get stuffed crabs at Bobby's or pickled eggs from a convenience store. I'm 59 years old so remembering how delicious this place is speaks for itself. read more

Don't settle for anything less than the Best! Fresh Seafood. Plenty to pick from! Family owned

Best seafood !! My family lives in Harahan we have eaten there for over 40 years .. Everyone is always happy n smiling ! Definitely recommend read more

Had a taste for seafood, so I stopped at Bobby's.  When I got there, it was about twelve minutes before closing time. The kitchen had just closed. But the lady at the counter said, "we have freshly boiled crawfish that just came up," so I got a pound just for me. While I waited for my crawfish, I noticed crabmeat, seafood gumbo, cocktail claw fingers, and other seafood related items on ice that they also sell. My crawfish order was filled and ready for pick up. I ate that first crawfish, and it was succulent and seasoned quite well. Not everyone gets crawfish right, but Bobby's does. I thoroughly enjoyed my crawfish and will definitely stop by again. read more

Bobby's Seafood - Seafood Gumbo loaded with shrimp,oysters,crab claws, okra and more full of Flava - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Excellent food and service Very friendly and food is consistent. True nostalgia with bayou decor

Best boiled crabs in the river parish; I drive 50 minutes away just to get Bobby's boiled crawfish and crabs

I have been coming to Bobby's since they were off garden road. It had always been my go to for poboys, gumbo, and crab bisque. In the past year the prices have gone up and the quality is way down. Both the gumbo and bisque are more watery than before. Almost nothing in either one verses loaded with seafood and vegetables. Bobby and Vicki no longer run the place and I think it shows. I'll have to find somewhere else to buy my seafood. read more

They coffee on my food and still gave it to me. So I got a spit sandwich. So if I was you I would never go ther .unless you like a spit sandwitch. read more

I was in town visiting my sister and she asked me to stop here and pick her up a fish dinner and what ever I wanted for dinner. It's not really a sit down and eat restaurant, they have a couple of 2 tops but it's mostly To Go/ Food Seafood Deli I ordered a shrimp po-boy and 5lbs of boiled crawfish and 1lbs boiled shrimp. OMG it's been a couple of years since I had boiled crawfish they were absolutely delicious!! The shrimp and fish were seasoned well. Needless to say I went back a couple more times while I was there and they did not disappoint!! Enjoyed it every time. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Bobby's Seafood - Service counter welcome sign! - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Bobby's Seafood is consistently good, whether you're ordering fresh or fried seafood.

VERY tasty po-boys. Awesome crawfish dishes. The service was nice and attentive. I had the shrimp po-boy. Didn't need any add'l sauce. It was just the right size. I'll most definitely be back for more! read more

The boiled crawfish were delicious, spiced well, decent size, and only $5 a pound which is good for this early in season

Fantastic lunch spot with a wide variety of seafood and great poboys. The fried shrimp are great. read more

Wow! What happened to this place? I used to love it. The last couple times have been mediocre experiences, to say the least. I stopped by to get a seafood platter today, and just wow. Very bland, the fish was dry, there was an overload of cornmeal or whatever that was, and the oysters were meh. The customer service is also not the best. I guess I will have to do away with Bobby's. read more

Definitely one of my favorite places to eat when I come home(moved out west). Bread is alway fresh, PoBoys are always stuffed well. Tastes great! Shrimp are always good too. During crawfish season, it's our GoTo Place for boiled crawfish. read more

Bobby's Seafood - Overstuffed Roast Beef PoBoy - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I was looking for a boiled crawfish spot in New Orleans that resembled back home, and I think I found it. I tried the boiled crawfish, corn, and potatoes. It was delicious. The crawfish were flavorful, and they had a nice kick. They were not too expensive, and they were small/medium sized. The corn was sweet, and the potatoes needed seasoning. I gave it a 4 because the crawfish on the outside was hot, but the tails, corn, and potatoes were cold. In addition to the cold food, I felt like I was being rushed to order which also contributed to my rating. All in all I will definitely try them again. read more

Great fresh seafood. Great reliable plates and po-boys. The gumbo and stuffed crabs are yummy. Always enjoy

Rude as hell, really hate feeling like an inconvenience just for being a patron of a business. Been here several times & the crap treatment gets old. Only show in town & so they can get away with it. read more

Best seafood around! Boiled seafood is flavorful, Poboys, platters, etc cooked to perfection.

Interesting that everyone is reviewing Bobby's as a sammich joint. I've only ever used them as a fishmonger. (Why, yes, I do like saying fishmonger, why do you ask?) My family has ordered everything from pre-boiled shrimp to live crawfish to fresh oysters. The seafood is always first rate. C'mon they have to be good since they're housed in a former gas station. read more

When we want fresh seafood, Bobby's Seafood is the place we go in the River Ridge / Harahan area. It's more than just a seafood store (one side offers a great seasonal selection of seafood) as there is a kitchen that serves sandwiches and platters. Restaurant may be pushing the envelope. Yes, you can dine in, if sitting on stools at one of the three high top tables qualifies. However, it's not for dreams of white tablecloth service that you go to Bobby's. It's for the fresh seafood, boiled crabs, and great po-boys. The vast majority of their business is on a carryout basis. Every now and then, when I'm in the mood, I don't mind eating a sandwich and spend my lunchtime watching the people come and go. The line moves relatively quick so there is no long wait for the customers. They offer a variety of po-boys boy sandwiches (not just seafood), and some platters to go. I recommend their shrimp po-boy, but then I'm very partial to well made fried shrimp po-boys boys. Definitely one of the better sandwiches in the city. There are other days when I'm more in the mood for some meat and I'll have to make a decision between on the three different sausages po-boys. Their roast beef are also good. read more

Great local seafood at reasonable prices. My family has been getting our seafood on a reg basis here since the early 90's and they have stayed consistent. Theres only 3 high top tables to dine in so many take orders to go. They also sell live seafood. Pretty nice size menu with plenty non seafood choices as well. Ask for extra cocktail or tartar sauce because the containers are minuscule. They open early in the morning, I have no idea why(who eats a poboy for breakfast), and they close fairly early. If there is a line out the door, dont fret,it moves quickly. read more

Man I don't know where to start. This place is a rat infested pig sty. The guy who owns it goes by "Ryan Esteves" and he doesn't really care as long as no one from the city tells him something. The tables are always dirty and the service non existent. You would have to try really hard to find a dirtier place than this. Ryan... Grab a broom and mop.. and try being sanitary for once. I hope you change your ways but I doubt anyone will go to your disease portal. read more

Hot sausage po-boy done right! Great, perfectly crispy/flaky Leidenhemer French bread, with classic grilled hot sausage patties. It tastes like Patton's, though I didn't confirm that. I probably wouldn't order the fries again. They were a little too greasy for my liking. They are the battered kind. I normally don't mind those kind of fries, but these were just too greasy, but still crispy. The place is clean and offers a lot of homemade take out food items (potato salad, stuffed bell peppers, stuffed artichokes, and many other items). They also sell boiled and fresh seafood by the pound. There aren't that many tables, so you're better off taking your food to go. The dining area is also very tiny. They do have a covered picnic table area outside. The place looks like it is a converted gas station. I also didn't see any public restrooms. Parking is fine and prices reasonable. I'll be back for sure. read more

Whether it's fresh seafood or ordering from the kitchen everything is first class. The " deli to go" items like stuffed mushrooms, turtle soup and gumbo are so well prepared I can serve them to company. One of my favorite things is salmon. I don't know where they get those salmon filets from, they are gorgeous! Victoria Normand read more

Good seafood I had a fish plate and the shrimp Po-boy they were fried perfectly the staff member are great they get you out fast

Average today but easiest item french fries were terrible greasy full of old oil I'm guessing & not real potatoes.

I was staying with friends in River Ridge for a few days before heading to Baton Rouge for some volunteer work and every time we drove by, they would tell me how good the po' boys at Bobby's Seafood were. One day, my friend came down with stomach flu two days before their Krewe's ball so that day, I walked over for a po' boy. Bobby's is a local deli with only a small 3-table dining area inside that serves po' boys at very reasonable prices so I ordered a dressed fried catfish po' boy. The catfish was fried with a deft touch rendering it crispy outside, moist inside, and without being oily; a little ketchup and hot sauce and I demolished the sandwich. You can't beat Leidenhemer as the perfect texture bread for po' boys. The same catfish po' boy that cost $6.50 at Bobby's would be $10 in other parts of New Orleans and the staff were really nice to the many neighborhood residents, construction crews, and parents with kids who stopped by to eat here. Bobby's Seafood is a great local find. read more

We had heard good things about Bobby's. Last Saturday we were over in River Ridge and finally got to try them for ourselves. On one side of the store they offer a good variety of fresh seafood and fish related products for purchase. On the other side of the place is the kitchen. They have a counter and 3 tables for dining in. We selected 3 different po boys to try and an order of onion rings. Our order did not take too long and we ate there. The onion rings were the best I've ever had. They were fresh made with really flavorful spices in the breading. Out of the po boys we tried, I recommend the shrimp. I'm not a fan of bbq beef, but theirs was pretty good. The sauce was excellent and it was VERY messy! (Which is the sign of a good one, right?...lol...) Luckily, each table was equipped with a roll of paper towels and antibacterial hand gel. I would definitely go back! read more

On our way back to Texas and decided to stop and have one more round of seafood. Best food we had all weekend. They do it right!!! Well worth the stop! read more

My family has been getting seafood and gumbo from Bobby's since 1980. They have the BEST SEAFOOD GUMBO in the world. Hands down. We buy the gumbo by the gallon. (Actually by the quart but we buy multiple at a time and always have some in the fridge). Whenever someone comes in from out of town we introduce them to Bobby's gumbo and they always want to know how they can take some home. It is packed with shrimp and crab claws. A long, long time ago they actually used to put two halves of blue crap in each quart but now it is just crab meat, crab claw and shrimp. Their potato salad is awesome as well. They don't have the best poboys in New Orleans area but they are decent. Their fried soft shell crab is probably the best they have to offer. Their boiled crawfish are great as well as their seasonal offering of fresh and boiled seafood. If you live Uptown or anywhere else in the city, do yourself a favor and make the drive out to Bobby's for some of their gumbo and you will be sure to impress your family and guests. read more

Hands down, best po-boy in NOLA, or at least Harahan/River Ridge. Whenever I am back home a stop at Bobby's is a must. Oyster or Shrimp, dressed with a root beer and I am good. read more

Bobby's Seafood is a tiny, converted gas station & convenience store. While plain, it is neat and clean, inside and out. Their specialty seems to be raw seafood and sandwiches. I ordered the shrimp plate ($12.95), which came with a good side salad (with premium dressing- Newman's Own), better-than-average fries, and a bountiful portion of fried shrimp, over toast. It was well spiced and not at all greasy. This is a place to check out. They were paranoid about me taking photos. Sorry, but I needed them, for the review. RJT read more
