I now return to New Orleans for the great food 4 or 5 times a year. We are also New Orleans Saints season ticket holders! Geaux Saints!! Anyway, Harbor Seafood has been our go to place for many years, however, we went in early March and was very disappointed.. so, we decided to try other places for a while before giving them another chance. It paid off, the issue we had last time was a cold oyster po-boy, and a young lady server who seemed to feel we were bothering her, instead of providing decent service. Past is the past, we went back on this last trip while in NOLa for the last 3 saints games (another disappointment, but that's another story) This time my po- boy was hot and tasty, and my wife had the blackened snapper. Both excellent! Only thing to mention is it was a late Sunday after the game, the bread did not seem as fresh as it should be, considering it's Sunday, I understand. Also had grilled oysters, as good as anywhere!! And of course, had to have some boiled shrimp! Glad we went back and will see them again in Nov for the next home game!!

I feel like waiters that get gratuity feel as though they don't have to work because they have already gotten my tip. Also they charge you $15 if you bring a cake into their establishment. Also I DID not like how they treated a group of "black" young men that came into the restaurant. The food was absolutely disgusting.i hate swai fish. And if your restaurant isn't serving "REAL" catfish at least advertise that on your menu. The fries were hard and overcooked. The egg rolls were semi decent.

Kenner Seafood is definitely one to remember…read more If you're visiting the New Orleans area and don't want to eat every meal in the French Quarter, I highly recommend heading over to Kenner for some seafood. This place serves up that classic Louisiana-style seafood like shrimp, crab, oysters, and more. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and it's the kind of meal that's meant to be enjoyed with your hands and without worrying about making a mess! Crabs were tossed in Cajun seasoning, it's savory, spicy, salty, and packed with flavor. Once you start, it's hard to stop If you're a fan of Gulf Coast oysters, definitely give them a try. They're a completely different experience from the more refined, upscale oyster bars. Overall vibe The atmosphere is casual and laid-back. It's not the kind of upscale restaurant where you feel like you need to dress up--it's more like coming to Louisiana to seriously eat some seafood until your hands are covered in sauce. And personally, I really love that local, authentic Louisiana feel.

On my last night here in New Orleans, Louisiana, I found this place next to the Holiday Inn Hotel…read more Even the bartender at the hotel restaurant said this place is awesome. Chef Ron's Gumbo Stop is named after the head chef, I'm assuming. I spotted this place while walking to the Circle K nearby, and thought maybe this place is pretty good. And so, I made dinner plans here for my last evening out of a four-day trip to the New Orleans area. I wanted to eat in my hotel room, so I opted for takeout. I came here on a brisk Wednesday evening after gambling at the Caesars Palace in the French Quarter. The restaurant itself was mildly busy, so it took about 20 minutes from ordering to pick up. I ultimately decided on the combo and po'boy sandwich combo. I also added in the crab cakes, because the menu said it was their best seller. So I opted in and they were pretty good actually. This place is not cheap, so temper your expectations here. The menu is somewhat limited, but they have a lot of stuff for you to choose from. They have a few variations of gumbo at, but I decided to do the traditional gumbo because I guess that's what they're famous for here in the New Orleans area. My time here was brief, but I got a glimpse of what Gumbo is, how great the flavors are, and the taste - which is awesome in itself. I did not know that there can be variations, but you learn every day, it seems. Thanks, Chef Ron Gumbo Stop for being literally around the corner from the Quality Inn hotel property. Definitely made my last evening in New Orleans one of the best ever. Thanks for awesome crab cakes and excellent gumbo! The overall experience here at the Chef Ron's Gumbo Stop restaurant here in Metairie, New Orleans was good and down to earth. The restaurant itself was quite busy and the staff was friendly but split up and doing other things before they got to seeing me standing at the entrance. When they finally saw me standing there lost, I asked for a menu, I decided on the 1/2 po'boy beef sandwich and jumbo combo and added the crab cakes on the side. It was delicious and I was happy that I came here on my last evening in the area. The restaurant itself was like a small mom and pop restaurant, but very likely it's like that and can support maybe 25 customers at a time. The prices here are decent and very competitive with what other Creole Cajun restaurants in the area serve. For the most part, though, it was great that they were definitely in walking distance for me, so I did not have to go outside into the French Quarter or elsewhere to find this place for me to have dinner. The staff was friendly for the most part, but they were just busy because apparently they're popular as hell, so I just had to wait my turn to get attention from them and put in my order on a casual Wednesday evening. Apparently, Wednesday evening is a good night for date night. Chef Ron's Gumbo Stop seems like a mom and pop seafood restaurant, specializing in southern creole cuisine and varieties of gumbo. They're physically located next to the Holiday Inn hotel and the Quality Inn around the corner. Its address is 2309 N Causeway Boulevard, Metairie. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. They don't have much of public parking, but probably could park at the Holiday Inn and walk on over. They do have spots in front of the restaurant, but it's not that much. Best bet is to come here before the lunch or dinner rush and get your stuff here. Or better yet, call the in the order and pick up at your own time and convenience. If you love public transportation, figure out the best local bus routes to come to the area from the airport, the French Quarter, or your original specific location. And of course, there's always uber and lyft ride share to get you here expeditiously if you need them. And so, consider support local businesses is important more than ever. I was happy to be here and enjoy their gumbo and crab cakes. Very flavorful and delicious. A nice ending to my trip to New Orleans. Till next time! 5.0 stars for the overall experience, especially when it was in walking distance from my hotel. Support local! A+

What a waste of money! When I first arrived, I looked around to see if there was a designated area…read morefor to-go orders. I saw a waitress behind the bar area and told her I was there to pick up a to-go order. She just said, "Okay," and walked away to seat another couple. She didn't try to help me, check on my order, or even tell anyone that I was there. I finally asked her if I was standing in the right place, and she said yes. A little later, another waiter came to the hostess station, looked at me, and then she finally told him I was there for a to-go order. The service was bad, but unfortunately, the food was even worse. My gumbo had been sitting under the hostess station, and when I got it, it was COLD and extremely bland. It had more celery than anything else. I honestly don't understand these reviews because either they haven't had good gumbo before or we definitely have very different standards. This was hands down one of the worst gumbos I've ever eaten. I make gumbo waaaaay better than this myself! Definitely a waste of money, and I would not visit here again.

She rant and raved about the soft oyster po-boy. I'm from Texas . My husband grew up in Louisiana and here we are visiting family. I mentioned to my husband about his Aunts visit to Smittys because he LOVES a good po-boy and I for once had it in my brain -the way she ranted about her visit- I thought "Let's see what's going on here". We sat down and were immediately waited on by Carlos. Such a cool guy, attentive, fast, friendly & we notice quickly that he had such a great repor with some of the tables and on some first name basis. That's always a good sign. I wanted what our Aunt had (the oyster po-boy) but I had never had soft shell crab and well there it was in my face on the menu. We decided on two of the 9 inch Po-Boys. One soft-shell crab po-boy and one soft fried oyster po-boy. For the appetizer, we order the mum onion (like a blooming onion). It came out fast, was hot and PERFECTLY fried. Needless to say it was FREAKIN' DELICIOUS. We also shared a bowl of gumbo. Now for this Texas girl- mine is pretty hard to beat. My creole husband always says "I had to go Texas to get real gumbo"and I rarely try any gumbo anywhere-especially if it has okra in it. This gumbo was pretty damn good -EVEN WITH okra in it. Hell-ah props to tha Chef for changing my mind there and with those po-boys. They weren't shy with either the oysters or the softshell crabs. So much we couldn't finish, and that was fine by me. I'm ready for that midnight snack tonight. All around great. We normally hit up The Harbor down the road when we come into town but I think we found our new spot. Thanks Carlos for such a welcoming dinner and the Smittys staff for not disappointing and making our visit a (10) that we will be sharing with others when they ask where to go when they visit.

The only good thing on the entire platter was the ONE SINGULAR crab cake. Everything else was either overcooked, had a burnt oil flavor, and had ZERO SALT or seasoning.
