I had the lucky opportunity of trying buggin out at Miel Brewery! Boy was that Viet-Cajun sauce finger linkin good! My girlfriend who is Vietnamese also loved it! That sauce is a hit! Also tried the charbroiled oysters which were delicious! I would say they are just as good as ACME or Drago's for reference. We got there at 1:08 on the dot and they opened up at 1pm. The line was already at the corner. But I fully understand why as it was some of the best crawfish boil I have ever had. Check their schedule and make sure to get there early. Be patient and have cold beer at Miels! Enjoy! read more

Unique flavor of crawfish boil. I like the type of kick it had-- definitely get the Viet style! The included meatballs were a bit odd of a choice for my taste, and a few others in my group agreed. The beans were tasty but kinda mushy/ maybe a little overcooked. read more

SO SALTY. We got the Viet-Cajun ones, but it didn't have any Vietnamese flavors. The chargrilled oysters were covered in cheese. Like, too much cheese. read more

I bookmarked these guys months ago and planned a trip to New Orleans just to eat their crawfish! We went twice in the 4 days we were here from Az and I can't rave about them enough. Everyone is super friendly and they are doing things right. First time was 2 lbs of Viet crawfish (amazing) 2 lbs of Cajun, 2 crabs, 12 charred oysters. Sat at the outdoor seating area that Miel brewery provided. Also super nice people. Went back two days later for another 2 lbs of Viet crawfish and 12 oysters. If I lived here I would be seeing them every weekend and catering them for every holiday. Haha read more

Really delicious viet Cajun crawfish from this pop up. The first time I had them last year , the flavor was immaculate. I love the fixings they have with it too. This year it was still good but the sauce wasn't popping out to much like last time. The oysters were so freaking good, I'm mad I didn't get more. read more

The line was wrapped around the building but it wasn't too bad. I believe I waited for about 45/50 minutes to place my order and then maybe another 10/15 minutes to get my order. I got the mix and it was interesting that they put meatballs instead of sausage in there. It was surprisingly good. The crawfish were a good size and they weren't too hot. read more

A HIGHLIGHT OF OUR WEDDING WEEKEND! Casey and Margo are incredible people. Guests are still raving about the crawfish we served at our welcome party. Truly these folks are professional, talented, and KIND. They also respond quickly which shouldn't be a lot to ask but seems to be these days. We love Buggin Out!!!! read more

Great group of guys. Very welcoming. Traditional was my favorite. Viet flavor was good also. GET THERE EARLY! Will definite return next time I'm in NOLA. Great vibe! 11/10 read more

Coming to NOLA I knew I wanted to try buggin out and it did not disappoint! For the price they load you on with a ton of crawfish, packed with flavor. My only complaint is I had a ton of garlics in my box and only had one potato and one corn. Flavor wise though this was the best crawfish I ever had, super juicy and had a nice clove flavor. I'd 100% come back and visit here if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Buggin' Out Boils - 2lb Viet Cajun - Caterers Near Me

What a fantastic meal served up from Buggin Out Boils. We caught them at a pop up event this last weekend. We got 5lb of the traditional crawfish and a 1/2 dozen chargrilled oysters. Very fair prices on both the crawdaddies and oysters. Crawfish were great cooked perfectly, the juice was great. Next time I'd try the more spiced version just to try something different traditional were fantastic though. The oysters were great, wish it came with a hunk of bread to soak up that extra butter but the size and quality were great! Definitely would order again. Check them out!!! read more

I was craving crawfish yesterday, and went to Rousses but they were out. On TikTok I saw this woman talk about how good the crawfish was at buggin out boils. So I looked to see if they were boiling and they were. When I pulled up the line was already long. I decided to wait anyways. The line did move fairly quickly. I ordered 2lbs Traditional and 2lbs Viet-Cajun to go. Everyone was very friendly with smiles on their faces!! I will say I preferred the Viet-Cajun over the traditional, it had great flavor and some spice to it. The only thing I wish they had and maybe I missed it was a dipping sauce. I would definitely get crawfish from them again, but I would get there earlier so I can be one of the first in line lol. read more

Everything is awesome about Buggin out Boils my only complaint is that when I eat their food it never lasts long enough

My daughter had her bachelorette party in New Orleans Oct 2025. Being her dad I surprised her with a seafood boil. Setting it up with Margo was super easy. They came to the Air BnB and served up an amazing seafood boil. We added the gumbo as it is my daughters favorite NOLA food. She said it was the best she had all weekend. read more

Absolute fire. Went with the Viet-Cajun style. Killer flavor, great beers at Brewery Miel. Super friendly staff. Couldn't have been better. Grilled oysters are not to be missed either! Big thanks to the whole buggin' out team!!! read more

This was our first stop after we landed in New Orleans. I had been looking forward to it for months and it did not disappoint! The viet-cajun crawfish were the best meal our entire trip. I'm writing this back home missing them! My husband who has tried crawfish a few times and maintained he "didn't like crawfish" was converted! Turns out he had just never tried Casey's! I know the season is just about over, but the next chance you get to try these, DO IT! You're only doing yourself a disservice by missing out on some seriously delicious crawfish. read more

Hands down the best crawfish in the city. 34 years I've lived here and I stand by my word, if they weren't a pop up boil I would eat here on the daily. Not only are the crawfish completely perfect but Casey is the most genuine person ever. The love he has for his wife, family, and his crawfish and oysters can't be matched and I found that as a complete stranger. That is what New Orleans is all about so thank you Casey and fam! Y'all are the read more

I came here 2 different times because they were so good!! The charbroiled oysters and the Viet-Cajun crawfish are my favorites!! The team is so friendly and nice I would come back here any day to get crawfish!! They also have great prices and just an overall great experience! Also make sure you get a t shirt when you go!! read more

Casey and Tyler came out to the house we rented in the Marigny to celebrate our friend's 50th birthday party. Before we even got to the food, these guys were super friendly and hospitable and explained their whole setup. They let us see the crabs and oysters they brought before the boil even started. I even got to have a couple of delicious raw oysters before they hit the grill. Once the food came out, I was done being social and talkative. I mean there was no way to keep talking when everything was so delicious--I didn't want to take any breaks from eating. Everything. Literally, everything was amazing. The crawfish pasta, the chargrilled oysters, the boil with shrimp, crabs, crawfish, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts and onions (even the vegetables were so full of flavor). This was all just a Friday night. They came back in the morning to cook us up a New Orleans brunch that was just as excellent: crab cake benedict, shrimp and grits... I am salivating at the memory of all this scrumptious food. We had all kinds of dietary preferences in our group and they accommodated everyone with the same amazing culinary magic. I'd bet their catering beats anything you can find dining out at a restaurant. I whole-heartedly recommend hiring Buggin' Out Boils for your NOLA group event. read more

You will not pick a better way to enjoy a private crawfish boil in NOLA! Casey knows how to make a mean batch of crawfish, and you'll never want to eat a meatball from anywhere else ever again! Highly rec booking him if you're from out of state; the crawfish isn't too spicy and it's perfect for newbies! If you're an experienced crawfish connoisseur, I'm sure he can turn the heat up for you too! Casey made more than just crawfish, he was easy going and fit the vibe of our party just right! read more

I can't say anything negative about this company!! They were AMAZING!! We were on a bachelorette party to NOLA and had spoken to a bunch of different companies. Went with Buggin' Out Boils and it did not disappoint! The crawfish were huge. Everything was flavorful. We had a vegetarian in the group and they provided the vegetarian friendly part of the boil separately. Would highly recommend! @stl.foodie read more

I was recently in NOLA for a birthday weekend for a close friend, and I am SO GLAD that we chose Buggin' Out Boils for our celebration! As a vegan, I was hopeful but apprehensive, as some places would just "check the box" and have a minimal vegan option. I can happily say that just as much care, attention and love was put into the vegan dishes as they put into the boil and the omni options. B.O.B. cooked for us for both a dinner party and brunch the next day, and both meals made the trip so much more special. At dinner, the red beans and rice was stellar and the veggie pasta was fantastic. The next day at brunch, the tofu scramble and herb-roasted potatoes were perfection. Casey and everyone at B.O.B. were top-notch, fun to be around, and super easy to work with. I can't recommend them enough! Thank you! read more

So the food is absolutely amazing. Some of the best I ever had. 10/10 for crawfish but that's not what sets them apart from other caterers. Casey is the nicest guy, and really clicked with our group. He made the experience unforgettable for guests who never had crawfish. It felt like a backyard boil with family. I would recommend them for your next party. You are guaranteed great food and excellent company! read more

What can I say? Oh wait, I know....if Buggin' Out Boils isn't your 1st choice for your next low boil then you are seriously doing yourself a huge disservice. We reached out to Margo and Casey to help with my brother's surprise 50th birthday party. Our menu included various selections from their on-line menu plus some variations to accommodate the folks that are pescatarian, vegan and vegetarian. Included: Low boil with shrimp, crab and live crawfish -they subbed mushrooms and brussel sprouts for meatballs (which were out of this world delicious) Red beans and rice (vegan-no meat / no dairy) - so damn good Pasta with veggies (vegan-no meat / no dairy) - holy cow it was good. Everyone raved about this, too. Crawfish Mac n Cheese - this is likely the best form of Mac n cheese I've ever had. And we can't forget....the charbroiled oysters. Lives were changed. It's that simple. It doesn't end there. Casey and Tyler came back the next day to serve everyone breakfast. What an awesome way to start the day. Menu included: Crab Cake Benedict: I had never had this before and I think I ate 3 helpings. Shrimp and grits: I'm pretty sure these descended from the Creole gods of yesteryear. Veggie tofu scramble: these were totally gobbled up quickly by all our vegetarian and vegan guests. Outside of the amazing food, communication was absolutely stellar....and the service was second to none. It felt like Casey, Margo and Tyler knew how to read our minds and deliver not only a level of service that was extraordinary, but what they served was simply the best of the weekend. Do yourself a favor....hire them for your next party. There's no doubt you'll have the same experience we had. read more

Literally the best in the city!!! Casey is so cool and really knows what he's doing! I've had his food both at their popups at bars around town and also at a private catering event. Casey goes all out to make sure that the food SLAPS and everyone has a good time. Can't recommend this business enough for great food made by great people. If you want New Orleans hospitality at its finest and most genuine, look no further. read more

Casey absolutely crushed our boil. We were in town for a bachelor party and got him recommended through a long time friend who lives in Nola. 10 of us got to feast like kings for a super reasonable price too. Super chill dude and easy to work with 10/10 service. check him out! read more

Casey (or Kasey or KC) was the friendliest and most relaxed cook you will ever meet. He started out smoking oysters on the grill. Have you ever eaten something that is so simple and delicious it makes you question why you even bother with the regular cookout menu you have eaten your whole life? I could have sat by that tray of oysters and demolished every single one. But I was forced to have manners and share because it was a birthday party and not my party . We also enjoyed super tender steak kabobs with chimichuri sauce and very juicy chicken skewers. Y'all! THOSE WERE THE APPETIZERS. Casey and my brother in law then dumped a giant pot of perfect sea creatures boiled with magical seasoning onto two very long tables. The smell, really, would have brought you to the table like those cartoons from the 80's were the scent grabs you by the nose and floats you to the spot where amazing things are about to transpire. Louisiana crab is some work, not gonna lie, and worth every moment of digging for treasure. Casey taught us the proper way to eat them, so no crab was wasted. Lemme tell you about the gulf shrimp...big, luscious, cooked just right and full of that addictive pot liquor. If suckin on shrimp heads is your thing, Casey provides all you could ever want. Peeling and popping shrimp around a table of happy family will make you feel as close to Louisianan as you will ever get. I cannot release you from this food fantasy without telling you about the necessary cast of supporting characters. Huge chunks of tender carrots, succulent garlic bulbs (whole bulbs cooked so perfectly you can pop out the individual cloves) that pair so deliciously with soft red potatoes and mini corn cobs. All boiled with those epic seasonings. God bless us all we will not eat like that again unless we travel back down south to see Casey. But really, God bless Casey! A whole family meeting in New Orleans to enjoy an authentic crab boil is really the top of the list for things that life should be about. read more

This boil is a must. My 12 friends came out for our annual fantasy draft and I wanted to show them some authentic Louisiana food and Casey nailed it. He came out and brought everything he needed to make it easy. Even brought the tables to eat off of. The shrimp and crab were seasoned to perfection and the hearty potatoes and sausages made that much better. We were very happy with how it all turned out and Casey is a super great guy as well. I plan on sending everyone looking for an amazing meal his way! read more

I stopped by Henry's Uptown and Casey had the grill rollin'! Oysters and chicken on point. I will definitely be booking them for a private event in the near future! read more

I cannot say enough about this experience! My Dad wanted to have an authentic Louisiana experience for his 60th birthday, and boy did Casey deliver! He started out with grilled oysters, these were the best oysters I've ever had! Then he grilled up some amazing beef skewers cooked to perfection with an outstanding chimichuri sauce and delicious juicy jerk chicken with a tangy yogurt sauce! After he served these amazing appetizers. Then he poured out a magical perfectly seasoned combination of shrimp, crab, potatoes, corn and sausage! Best seafood boil I've ever had, and I'm from Texas and have experienced many. I highly recommend this company for your next event! read more
