    Honestly, I think they've improved. Crawfish were on the smaller side but the seafood was seasoned SO well! Even the potatoes taste a little better!

    Vegetable fried rice /extra broccoli
    DD D.

    The portion size was huge. The vegetable fried rice was pretty flavorful. The egg roll was meaty and filling. Customer service was non-existent. They stocked my bag with soy sauce and duck sauce. However, I wanted sweet and sour sauce on the side. The lady charged me a dollar extra after I paid. She didn't even ring it up, she just took the dollar and gave me the sauce. Not a super big deal, but noticeable. All in all, I enjoyed my food.

    Egg roll
    Courtney H.

    Everything was disgusting. I've been here once before and everything wasn't so bad but this time around it was all disgusting . The food tasted like it was freezer burned and really old. The eggs rolls were fried so much they were burned but was soggy. :|

    We knew that it's the end of crawfish season. Our guests wanted to try crawfish for the first time. I've served boiled crawfish for 9 years so I know some things! Visitors be aware the pans that they serve togo crawfish only holds 3 lbs. We ordered 5 lbs. I should of thought twice when she said that the crawfish was cold so she is going to pour juice in container ( it was 3/4 full of juice) The double aluminum serving pan and juice makes weight. I didn't get what I paid for. They also forgot my sausage that I paid extra for. The customer service was alright. Totally dissatisfied. I will not come back This would a great place to eat at if they make some serious changes.

    NOT EXACTLY STUFFED: the shrimp po boy isn't bad it's just not memorable- small shrimp, sparse pickle slices, no real flavor; $9.

    A SUB IN THE HUB A pithy yankee description of a po'boy on this odd convergence of three major thoroughfares. Unfortunately the shrimp version at C&A is just as bland. SKIMPY GEOMETRY Okay, since the area of a foot long poboy is approximately 48", and the average diameter of a dill slice is 1.25", then it follows that coverage by the stingy 6 pickles at C&A is grossly inadequate at just 15.6% of the total surface. This is particularly annoying because the shrimp are also small and sparsely distributed (see my pic).

    Just had my first crawfish of the season here and it was definitely different but amazing.A young lady named Shona gave us the best old school New Orleans service I have had since I moved home (I want to meet her parents and say thank you good) .The crawfish we're just spicy enough and had all kind of different melted butters, styles and add ons my girl had been her before and knew what to do , it was a bit pricey but it is the beginning of the season ..... totally recommend

    Cooter Brown's is truly an Uptown New Orleans staple…read more This classic tavern and oyster bar is one of my go-to spots when I'm looking to just chill, grab a great drink, and enjoy solid New Orleans food in a laid-back environment. Located right at St. Charles & Carrollton on the streetcar line, it's super easy to get to and always buzzing in the best way. The drink options are endless--great cocktails, frozen margaritas, beer by the glass or pitcher, and a huge variety of beers to choose from. TVs are everywhere, making it a perfect spot to catch sporting events, meet up with friends, or just hang out solo. The vibe is low-key, casual, and welcoming--no frills, just a consistently good time. I also love that they're open 11 AM to 1 AM, seven days a week, which is clutch no matter the day or occasion. And finding out they've been around since 1977 just adds to the charm and legacy. If you're looking for great happy hour options, strong cocktails, classic New Orleans eats, and an Uptown spot where you can relax and connect with friends, Cooter Brown's always delivers. Definitely one of those places that never goes out of style. A true NOLA staple.

    CAJUN SEAFOOD!!! My…read moreoh my, does this place have my heart! They know how to get down right here. It was super close to where we were staying, and since I didn't catch a seafood boil in the Quarter or anywhere else in town, I had to try this spot. My friend and I had our eyes on it, but once our Uber driver confirmed it was a bomb spot, we were all in and it did not disappoint. I even met a lady who drives 45 minutes just to get here, so if she makes that trek, you know this is the spot. I will be dreaming of this place! Being takeout-only gave it that authentic, local vibe, and I loved every bite. Unlike the typical mixed seafood boils, they bag everything separately, and I mixed it all together once I got back to my place. They have some garlic butter you can add, and I got it spicy! It definitely had a kick, and I loved it. I had a pound of shrimp, added sausage, two boiled eggs, the BOMBEST potatoes and corn, all tossed with the spicy garlic butter and I devoured it. Let me just brag on that shrimp and those potatoes for a second: both were amazing. The potatoes were cooked to perfection! Soft, not mushy, and seasoned just right. And the shrimp? Wow. I can still taste it. If you're in NOLA, you have to check this spot out! I will say one more thing though I wish I had room to try the gumbo! I would have loved to taste it here. Lastly, I didn't get to grab a po' boy in town, so we came back the next morning to try one. Sadly, the seafood section wasn't ready yet (we went around 10:30am), but the roast beef po' boy with gravy, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and maybe few other ingredients in it was incredible. I loved it! You'll definitely catch me here again next time I'm in town. 10,000/10. Thank you, cooks! A few practical things: if you're driving, there's parking. The service was friendly, prices were great, and while there isn't indoor seating, the waiting area is decent-sized. Just know it can get busy!

We came for their happy hour and sat outside on their patio. Despite it being November, it was considered their Summer Happy Hour which is available daily from 4 pm to 6 pm. This is what our party of four ordered - oysters and all the house snacks: * Whipped Feta HH $10 - Toasted sourdough was quite enjoyable with the hot honey topped whipped feta. I may need to get more whipped feta in my life. * Marinated Olives HH $5 - Yummy collection of olives. * G & T Mussels $10 - Mussels were nicely cooked and the fried saltines a nice touch! Yum! * Ishmael Fries HH $5 - Crispy and light with an enjoyable aioli. * Shucker's Dozen Oysters HH $24 - We got two dozen of these. They came with mignonette, cocktail sauce, horseradish, and something else. So fresh! Not only was the food great, but the service was wonderful as well. Despite being outside, we never felt neglected and our server along with the rest of the staff were on it. At one point, our waiter had to go to the back to help shuck oysters to help with the demand. There was no lapse of service as the staff stepped up to support his absence. They worked amazingly as a team here and it was well noted. Pigeon and Whale was one of our most enjoyable happy hour oyster experiences in New Orleans!

The ambiance was nice, small space but beautifully decorated. I went with a large group so we decided to get a variety of appetizers: seafood dumpling, roasted cauliflower, ceviche, chargrilled mussels, and grilled octopus. All were good but the chargrilled mussels and the ceviche were my top picks. For my cocktail I had the lavender Negroni, this was a strong drink but very good if you like Negroni. I liked it so much I had to order another one. We decided to try taste the rainbow, which is a 1/2 oz taste of 10 Negronis. I highly recommend this if you like Negronis. For my entree I had the swordfish schnitzel, which was delicious. For dessert I had the lemon cheesecake, it was perfection. I would definitely come back to this place, my only complaint was that the service was slow, our wait staff were very nice but we had to tell them multiple times we were ready to place our order. Great location on Feret St.

One restaurant that locals constantly recommended to me was Drago's Seafood in Metairie, and now I completely understand why. I ordered the charbroiled oysters along with the crawfish platter that came with crawfish étouffée, crawfish mac and cheese, and fried crawfish. Every single thing on the table was incredible. The charbroiled oysters absolutely lived up to the hype rich, buttery, smoky, and packed with flavor. The crawfish platter was just as impressive and gave me a chance to try multiple Louisiana dishes all in one meal. What really stood out to me beyond the food was the service. The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and patient with questions from someone who isn't from Louisiana and still learning the local food scene. You can tell they take pride in both the restaurant and the hospitality. The only downside is parking can get a little complicated because the place fills up fast, which honestly says a lot about how popular it is. Just plan ahead or expect a short wait finding a spot. Overall, this is one of those restaurants that feels genuinely loved by locals and absolutely worth visiting if you're traveling through the New Orleans area.

We order the oysters to start, salmon and a small crab salad and a glass of wine. The wine never arrived, they brought me a large salad with shrimp that cost $24 and it was jest lettuce and 6 shrimps! I asked for Mediterranean and I got Cesar. The salmon was really undercooked so we sent it back and then it was overdone. The oysters which were supposed to be that appetizer arrived mid meal. The place was crowded, cold and loud. So unless you really, really like the oysters there is no reason to go to this place.
