One of my favorite places in New Orleans east!! Food is always good. Staff is friendly

Food is Good, but prices are kind of High! Great Seafood and Vegetables. The Service is Excellent

The people are slow some days and then it's like I'm not just gonna move the like the place looks real nice snowballs crawfish, catfish fish fish whatever you want that's what they have the place looks great. read more

One of favorite places to take people when I'm in a group. They started serving Lobster!! It may be overwhelming at first entrance but if you order on the right hand side where the hot food is served you can never go wrong with a Hot Sausage PoBoy. Be sure to always end your meal with a snowball read more

Born and raised in NOLA and have been to Castnets many times...while visiting, I bought a hot sausage po'boy a few days ago and was disappointed when I noticed the meat wasn't freshly prepared...it appeared as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp...the patties were hard around the edges and dry...I know from now on to check my purchase(s) before I leave... read more

The oysters are seasoned just right (no too salty). Potato salad is perfect. Quick service and staff is very courteous. As for fresh seafood, that's the only place I shop. Fast turn over so I know it's always fresh. read more

We decided to try to find a new spot before we headed into the Quarter. This place is half market and half restaurant and all great! You order at the counter and then head back to get it. It takes a few minutes because it is all served hot and fresh, but worth the wait. They have lots of different options on the menu so take your time. We missed a lot of options on the first go round. Everything we ordered was great. It is about 30 minutes outside of the Quarter but it's worth the trip if you have a car. Next time, we are going for the soft shelled crab. read more

Castnet Seafood - Combo platter (catfish, oysters, shrimp) and shrimp platter - Seafood Markets Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

A cool place to get a good meal if you on the go and if you're making seafood yourself but not the cooked seafood from here wasn't really that favorite but it's a nice place if on the go. read more

My go-to-spot whenever I come home to NOLA from California! They boast the freshest seafood and the most delicious fully dressed hot sausage patti po-boy ever! Employees are super-friendly and very accommodating. We met the owner this last time and he was very kind. Will definitely return to Castnet Seafood the next time I come home!!! Geaux Yummy Goodness! read more

Had the shrimp po boy. It was great. Fresh shrimp, cooked perfectly. The food takes a bit, but they cook it fresh. Service is freindly. Ambiance is what you would expect from a market type restaurant, focus is on good food, not style. read more

Fresh seafood! Nicely seasoned crawfish & some of the best poyboys. even when they're busy they move fast!

After reading all of the amazing reviews, I was disappointed with what we received. BUT we will try them again. Picked up a trout platter (3 pieces of fried trout with French fries) and a shrimp poboy for a midweek lunch takeout. The poboy was like any other poboy - nothing special, and not an overwhelming amount of shrimp. The trout platter that I was so excited about was very dry and most likely the trout was not the freshest. However, the staff was friendly and helpful. read more

I've been coming to this place since a little kid. Every time I visit NO/home, I try to get my Castnet fix. I even have the hubs (a Northerner) hooked. It's always something new and different seems like. I'm glad to see it's growth and prosperity over the years. read more

Castnet Seafood - Maaannnn, so good, yummy!! Creamy crunchy,yummy! - Seafood Markets Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Good seafood, lunch plates and Poboys. My personal favorite is the half shrimp half oyster dressed. There can be a long wait at times (20-30) but the food is worth it. There is a food service side and a seafood service side so make sure you take a number for the appropriate side! read more

Never a bad meal. Every PO boy, seafood or meat has been good for years. I always order ahead and time it just right, don't want to nuke it in the microwave. Fresh seafood is fresh. Crabs when in season, 3 sizes to choose from, crawfish and shrimp well boiled. Wish their soft shell could be a lil larger. My go to spot. read more

You can't beat this place a great spot for fresh & cooked seafood you can even get sno balls you will come back.

I was in New Orleans this past weekend and saw this place off the road and decided to stop for a ham and cheese Poboy. It was delicious and fresh definitely recommend read more

This use to be the place for fried fish plate. I don't know what happened but to me it's no longer worth the time And money. I had 2 fish plates @ 15. Each. The fish tasted like grease with no flavor & the potato salad was just as bad the fries alone wit the fish were soggy & cold it was like it had been sitting under the heat lights and served. I ordered by phone while out front so my plates should have been hot when picked up. It took 10 mins for home. Good portions terrible tasting BIG disappointment ! read more

I am a New Orleans native, but I live in California. My Wife and I visit every 1-2 years and we ALWAYS stop here for several meals during our visit. We stay near the French Quarter, but we make the drive to Castanet because their food is amazing, the people are fantastic, their prices are beyond reasonable and their food is AMAZING!!! We are flying to New Orleans in the morning, and I cannot wait until we get to Castanet!! The owner is an amazing man. He is so genuine and kind. I always make an effort to say hello to him and he always remembers us. (Did I mention that their food is AMAZING !?!?!!!) read more

I feel sorry for all those first-time visitors to New Orleans who end up spending a small fortune at the tourist trap restaurants. This isn't to say that those places aren't good. They are. But Castnet Seafood should be in every pamphlet and in the mouth of every travel guide because it blows those places away and at a fraction of the price. WORDS DO NOT DO THIS PLACE JUSTICE. I thank the Good Lord that we stumbled it upon it while we were leaving New Orleans. As we headed back home, the five of us chatted about what a fun trip we had. First-rate food, we thought. As we neared the outskirts of town, we stopped at a gas station to fill up the tank. Three of us complained of hunger--and that's how we found this gem of a place called Castnet. We weren't expecting much though the place had 4.5 stars on Yelp. Well, let me tell you, they deserve 6 stars. We ordered fried catfish, boiled crawfish, turkey neck, crab and God knows what else. It was a feast for the five of us...and cost $37. Oh and did I mention how divine it tasted? Well seasoned, well-cooked and everything the South is supposed to be. I'm furious that we didn't take any home but I feel even more sorry for those who won't get to experience this place. If you do happen to stumble upon this review, take it from a New York cynic with an arrogant palate--best food in New Orleans and it's not even close. Thank me later; and bring some back for me. read more

The absolute best poboys in this city. Whether it's seafood , ham,or turkey. The best hot sausage poboys you have ever tasted. A bit pricey, but worth it read more

Always nice to visit a food spot from my childhood! The food was as good as I remembered it!

I have been going to Cassnet for years! They have consistently shown, good customer service, fair, pricing, and speedy checkouts!

Castnet is in my neighborhood and it is a local favorite. The seafood consist of fish; shrimp; lobster; crabs, oysters and crawfish. Always fresh seafood and they have hot plates and sandwiches served your way. I like to get the crabmeat and shrimp for seafood salad to make at home. You can find a crowd here all the time. read more

The food is incredible and a reasonable prices. The customer service is friendly and fast. Recommend anyone who likes to get their money's worth and wants to be in and out. read more

I have been a fan for years. Everything they make is delicious. Picking up my oyster po boy and shrimp plate in a few.

This was my first time here. The food is very fresh and delicious. Great amount of food for the prices. Castnet is definitely on my go to list whenever I'm in town now read more

The seafood is fresh especially the lump crabmeat. The only issue is removing all of the shells. I've made crab Mac c no cheese and it was delicious! read more

This is a great local spot. Sells fresh seafood in also cooked seafood, plates, poboys etc...You can also get live crawfish there. The seafood is always fresh and cooked just right. I had a shrimp and oyster Poboy and a roast beef Poboy. This was the roast beef poboy I grew up with. It was juicy and a little messy like I like it! The crawfish were seasoned well and warm. The oysters and shrimp were also very good. Fresh and cooked just right. You can tell this place has beef around for a long time because they have there cooking done to a science. Everything tasted just like I remembered from my childhood. read more

Most visits to castnet are great experiences but this time not so much. just 2 pickles stuck together, end Tomato pieces. just not my luck. The only good thing I can say about the sandwich is the knife cut down the middle was perfect. French bread was at least 2 days old it was so hard. I had to press on my sandwich to confirm how crunchy it was. The shrimp was undercooked I would say about 90 seconds at least. I would appreciate if someone cared enough to try to make this right. I'm only one customer but being from New Orleans anyone knows that when you move away from New Orleans and visit back the first thing on your Mind is "FOOD" so to show up and get let down like this was disappointing. read more

Good food a little pricey. Great location in New Orleans East. Staff is friendly when business is slow.

The food is consistently great! This is my go to spot for all of my seafood, but the service from the cashiers needs a little work. The younger workers seem to move slower and have attitudes with the customers. They also seem to stand around and talk a lot. But other than that it's a great place. read more

We visited New Orleans for the first time early March and camped nearby and craved seafood. After a lot of researching on yelp we decided to go to Castnet. The place was packed. I picked up crawfish and crab legs and they were the best we've ever had. We immediately picked up a bunch of seasoning and we can't believe we have lived so long eating unseasoned seafood. The New Orleans flavors are where it's at! read more
