Cool, don't kind of place. No place to sit down but the food is great and the vibe is definitely pickup style foods. Service was a bit rough. read more

DAT Cajun Seafood - Ordering deli style - Seafood Markets Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I have beengoing to this establish for more than 10 years and today I was treated with humiliation, the unmost disrespect and disgraceful. The young gentleman that has been working there for some years as well as the behrman location was beyond disrespectful to me. There was a simple miscommunication that he misunderstood my order. As I was trying to correct the order he became very hostile and in return I did as well. This all took place in front of my grandchild. People are mistakes all the time which I was trying to tell him. He states that I need to learn how to speak slowly and as.tje argument grew into me education that I have been coming here foe years,that African Americans visit here and keep this place a flow he's and and and..im like really. Like let's be real we are 95%of their business and for us not to knowledge says a lot about gia character. All this over 3 corns that hethiught i didnt want. The lady that is the owner is extremely nice and respectful. I been going therefore she was pregnant with jer last child I believe that is how long. I felt humiliated as if me or my business didn't attend. He was screaming at me and yes I did in return to one point I had to tell him that I am 52 years old and was raised to respect but once that line is crossed to defend myself.

There is no them with paying customers or unless im the dum ass...ijs..Please.get some help and good customer service skills immediately.​​​​ read more

THIS IS NOT A PAID AD: There's no better place to get crawfish in the city...argue me down, lol. This place consistently delivers nice sized, quality crawfish that's boiled and seasoned to PERFECTION (perfect balance of salt, pepper, garlic, and citrus) all season long. Also, the ordering process is super fast and efficient...there's one line to order, you pay and get your order number on a receipt, then wait (no more than 5-7 minutes) for your order. They also have really decent cooked food (a hot bar, fried seafood, sandwiches, etc). The only downside of Dat Seafood is that they're closed on Sundays...Sundays are for crawfish!! But, even God rested, I suppose lol. Do yourself a favor and drive across the bridge for your crawfish...you'll never go anywhere else after! read more

DAT Cajun Seafood - 4lbs boiled crawfish - Seafood Markets Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

See all

Stopped in here to get some stuff to bring home from New Orleans. The food was decent. The fried rice was very good. The pig feet were good and so were the turkey necks. Gumbo was mediocre. Crawfish weren't even on the same level with some that I've had. The prices were sky high. My sister bought 3 packs of boudin, fried rice, and 4 wings and it was $70. I got 2 pig feet, 1 turkey neck, 1 sausage and small fried rice and it was $37. Way too high for the food you get and there's other places within a mile or 2 where it's half the price. read more

Living in Texas you don't get the pleasure of having good seafood places on every corner. Luckily, on my trip my Airbnb was only about 5 minutes away from DAT Cajun seafood. I woke up on a hunt for some seafood & boom just under $20 I got exactly what I needed. I ordered 1lb of crawfish, which were quite large & flavorful, a turkey neck & two meat pies. Listen, if I could eat those meat pies every day I would. I wish I ordered more of the hot foods but maybe next time. I'm not sure what people expect coming to places like this but just order your food, CHECK YOUR FOOD (it's clearly posted to do so -- reading is fundamental) & fill your stomach up. Don't come here looking for extraordinary customer service or a table to sit down at. There are plenty of food options to choose from to get something to go at a cheap price, you can't get that every where! read more

I was surprised for them to have big crawfish for only $4.99 a lb at this time of year. Nice and spicy like I like them. Good flavor too! read more

DAT Cajun Seafood - Boiled crawfish - Seafood Markets Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is a hole in the wall to go only crawfish place. The meat is cooked until the meat of the crawfish is flavorful inside. Hence not a lot of sauce in the bag. It tasted great. Would be nice if they had dine in option but it's oki. The staff were friendly and helpful in our selection. Would come back again when we're in the area. read more

The crawfish were amazing. The crab legs need a little more seasoning time but they were still terrific!

Been doing my research on this place for a minute and finally got the chance to try it. I had been craving a shrimp Poboy all day and this is where I ended up. The place looks great I must say, all the food is hot and looks delicious with a wide variety. Now the poboy itself was good don't get me wrong, I just wish the shrimp were fried in a different batter or maybe some fresh oil. I would definitely go back I just think it might have been a mishap. Unusual combination yes I know. But I will say it did not disappoint. Went here for a few pounds of crawfish, but ended up getting just 2 pounds after I found out the wings were $7.99 for 15!! Wings were good and crunchy how I like it. Crawfish was ok I felt like I caught them at a bad time though. I will definitely be back for more, head on over and tell em Malik sent ya . read more

Very good boiled seafood. Additionally, there is a hot lunch line with your run of the mile NOLA stuff in chaffing dishes--gumbo, shrimp pasta, beans, etc. There are no chairs and the dusty box of Cheerios that expired in 2014 on the make shift grocery shelf leave something to be desired. But, this is Algiers. You are coming to get your seafood and take it HOME! read more

Terrible service....black girl at counter is just obnoxious....never again...i tried to be nice and that didn't work...all I did was ordered the food the way I usually do but I haven't been here in years so mgmt probably has changed and she thinks she know her customers. She doesn't! read more

Had their crawfish for the first time today. I'm amazed. The boil stays true to the roots in terms of important flavors, but they add an Asian twist to the mix that is just wonderful. There is a noticeable but not too strong citrusy flavor, and when it comes fresh and hot from the boil, you can smell the Asian elements more strongly. My father claimed it was the best crawfish he's ever had. I've lived in New Orleans all my life and my dad has most of his. So... You've got two locals giving the thumbs up. This place is a treasure. read more

One the best seafood place to eat! Love their crawfish and boudin! Price is just affordable! read more

This is the only spot I go for my crawfish fix, hands down!! They're the best ! Kinda upset theyclosed on Sundays.. I went looking today

I am from Houston Texas and I am my husband and mother-in-law on Tuesday September 5, 2023, purchased 2 Red bean and Rice , chicken wings and Gumbo.. totaling almost 38.00 and this was the most disgusting, unseasoned, stuff We ever ate..Dont consider anything you cook as Cajun..Don't waste your money HERE!! read more

Very friendly and comparable pricing to the area seafood establishments. I have had the Oyster Po Boy twice and the it's very good. The oysters are fresh and the bread is very good balance of "crunchy and soft." I went to Cajun Seafood and their crawfish is running $4.99 lb right now but it's going for $4.49 lb here. Seems like the better deal, but I am still looking for even better than this. I cannot say how good the crawfish is here but it sure does smell good. read more

The shrimp at DAT had a good flavor, but was incredibly difficult to peel. We ended up throwing most of it away as a result. The crawfish was good, but had a lot of pretty small ones mixed in with a few good size. I'll get the crawfish again if I ever go back, which is doubtful. I'm constantly disappointed with "seafood markets" in and around New Orleans. Coming from Pensacola and having seafood markets like Joe Patti's makes these markets look just plain sad. I would like to go into a market around here and have seafood out for me to choose from. Alas, I'll just have to deal with what I'm given until it's time for the military to move us again. read more

Got 5 pounds of crawfish and they were seasoned to perfection. Just enough spice to give them a kick and the corn and potatoes were cooked perfectly. Be warned you may be fighting for parking though. This place gets very busy and has a small parking lot. read more

DAT Cajun Seafood - Seafood Markets Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is a local find! The food is incredible! Gumbo was hearty with lots of flavors and meats in it. We also ate the po boy shrimp sandwich. The batter of the fried shrimp has lots of flavor but is still light and crisp. The sand which is dressed perfectly. Food is made fresh to order and service was very friendly! If you are in the neighborhood I would definitely recommend stopping by! read more

My go to spot for seafood in the wank! Everything is solid. I normally go for crawfish and a shrimp poboy :) Service is fast.

Stopped in here on the way home from grocery shopping. Thought I'd get a couple pounds to go with a wonderful German style Bock out of Texas that I'd gotten. Walked in and it looks just about like every other good little seafood place; Vietnamese run (so I'm expecting spicy), and clean. Smelled more like the side items then crawfish. There was a woman in line ahead of me who, when I asked, said the crawfish were so spicy your mouth will burn for an hour after. Cool! That's my kind of crawfish! (I have to use some excuse to drink a beer each pound, spicy works). I told her I'd been getting my crawfish at Rouse's She told me crawfish from Rouse's would put me on the toilet so long it would change the shape of my booty. Okaaaay.. Anyway. I ordered and paid and expected to get my crawfish. Nope. Seems they were out and just started a new batch. Now I had food in the car and it would have been proper customer service to tell me there would be a wait. Nope. Instead they took the orders for 10 more people, each one, like me, waiting for crawfish and not being told they didn't have any done. Not cool. 15 minutes later, the crawfish came out and I headed home. To say the flavor was underwhelming is to be polite. I ended up making up a custom batch of crawfish seasoning, adding in some water and microwaving them again to give them flavor (Byw, this is a great way to reheat crawfish from the day before, it makes them juicy as heck too). In conclusion (Yeah, I babble) The prices were 1/3rd higher than Rouse's on crawfish and on average, .50c higher than other little seafood places like them. The crawfish were wussy but still ok The customer service was lacking (you have to tell people there will be a long wait) So I'm giving them 3 stars until I go back and try a second time to see if this was just a fluke I would recommend this place to people who are not into spicy crawfish but think they are and to people who do NOT have groceries in their vehicles on 90 degree days. read more

All I can say is make sure that you check your bags these people are cons just left here. They refused to give me my food. That they happened to not put in the bag. I will not be returning to this place. read more

If you are a visitor and don't have wheels you most likely won't get here. But I will say after trying 5 gumbos from different spots in Nawlins, this place hands down wins. So flavorful and spicy! And their corn was incredible! read more

Awesome place to get seafood on the go. Crawfish and Crabs are super fresh and delicious. They have a buffet bar with daily lunch specials you can get to go from Turkey necks, gumbo, pig feet, fried rice, etc read more

Everything is so good. Spicy cajun crawfish boil with corn and potatoes. The po'boys are huge where it was filled with shrimp and the works. Good food equals happy me. read more

Wow! We stopped in here based on the Yelp reviews and were happy we did. We ordered a pound of shrimp and a pound of crawfish for dinner tonight and a large gumbo for lunch. We ate in our camper as this is a market not a restaurant, although I think most of their sales are prepared food. The gumbo was fantastic. Ham, chicken, shrimp and other tasty tidbits with just the right amount of heat. We went back in after lunch to buy another gumbo for lunch tomorrow! While we were buying our shrimp and crawfish, a local told us we needed to buy what the locals eat including the turkey necks, corn, and potatoes. The lady let us try the necks before we bought them. Again, wow! Cooked tender and with a little Cajun spice, these are a delight for the tastebuds. We may have to move here! We will make a detour just to come here next time we are anywhere near LA! read more

I have only bought crawfish here so my review is about that - first off the live crawfish are good price and I was impressed with how clean they were. I've also got boiled crawfish a couple times and the spice is perfect! I can't figure out what seasoning they are using but you can tell they are using fresh seasoning as well crab boil which is always preferred. The sides, potatoes, corn and sausage are perfect spice and texture. The gave 4 stars instead of 5 just because the size is mixed - some large, some small - I prefer when places offer all large even if they upcharge a little for it :) I recommend getting to-go, its not a sit down place, although their are places to sit, but truly its a market not a restaurant. read more

The gumbo was great but I have to give 1 star I would give 0 if it would let me for the terrible customer service the fat Filipino lady gives who collets the money . I asked for a medium gumbo with rice on the side she wants to charge me 2 dollar more for rice on the side . She claims I'm trying to get extra food without paying more . No no no I wanted the same amount of gumbo and the same amount of rice u get in the medium bowl they give u I just wanted my rice separated because by the time I get home that rice would be soggy and who the fuck wants soggy rice . Just like no one wants soggy ramen noodles when u leave them in the water too long it just don't taste as good . So was it that hard to do that for me without charging me more than I ask for a fork and they said we gave u a spoon . I'm Paying for the god damn food if I want a fork give me a fork read more

I've been coming here for years and loved their crawfish, but at the beginning of this 2018-2019 crawfish season I went to get my fix and I bought 3 pounds and found that the crawfish was not right, either the crawfish was dead when cooked or something was wrong in the kitchen. The crawfish when peeled did not look fresh. The heads and insides were black. The crawfish was very rubbery as well. I waited a few weeks and went back to find the same issue. Hopefully they get this figured out soon. But I'm going to Cajun corner and lapalco since they show you the live crawfish on social media so you know it's fresh!! read more

I live in Atlanta and visit family on the Westbank often. I have eaten at this place every weekend for the past 3 weekends. The staff is friendly, and the gumbo is fantastic. The crawfish is seasoned perfectly, and the shrimp are in a delicious spicy butter sauce. I didn't think the stuffed crab was all that, but my friends all loved it. The potatoes and corn are also seasoned perfect! Cheap prices, and now a patio you can sit and eat on. Hope this place sticks around! read more

I've been coming here for over a year now, and it's still my go-to, favorite spot for boiled crawfish. Crawfish is cleaned well. Super flavorful & spicy enough, and consistent! The shrimp can be over cooked sometimes, I often wonder if it's because it's still "cooking" while tied up in a bag, so by the time I make it home... yea, so I've decided the next time, I'm going to leave the bag open, lol! I also get corn on the cob, because it's just packed with flavor as well. I'm not big on gumbo (I know, it's almost unheard of), however, it's pretty good here! My fiancé always requests this when I order from here. They also have good turkey neck bones, and sausages; that's about all I've had from them! Nice owners/workers as well, and even if the line seems long (out the door sometimes), they still move pretty fast! They do sell frozen seafood, and other fresh items, and some grocery items such as seasoning, rice, spam, cereal, fish sauce, and ketchup etc. read more

My go to place for crawfish. Be prepared to stand in line and maybe wait because they sell so much crawfish that you sometimes have to wait for a new batch to cook. Ok by me cuz it's worth the wait! read more

So close by work, I read the reviews and had to try it myself. Spicy, garlic shrimp were great. Good price and tasty. Will go back again.

Food is great, kind of a walk in and either order off premise food they have or menu, no place to sit or anything. I got medium gumbo, crawfish boudin and two pounds of crawfish and a Pepsi for 20 and nonwaybeat all of it. It was absolutely delicious, wanna get some good local flavor to go, this is it, I could have ate for much cheaper but I wasn't paying for so what the heck read more

Love this joint! We stop by every time we are in town. Their crawfish is so flavorful! Spicy! You can't get it this consistently anywhere else. Their gumbo is awesome, and I actually love their turkey neck, and I don't even eat turkey neck! read more

Late in the season, they still have an ample supply of delicious crawfish, perfectly cooked and seasoned -- just spicy enough!

This is a market. Yelp states so but the internet, when googling seafood restraunts, led us to think it was dining. We weren't the only out of towners who thought this was a restraunt. Another couple showed when we did also thinking it was a place to eat. That doesn't make the place bad. However, when we asked the lady where to eat seafood she had no clue. How can you live and work in this town and not know where to find a seafood restraint? Lol read more
