called 5 mins before they opened this morning to place a crawfish order ...a young woman answered and was very rude as if they had a line there or something and THERES WAS ABSOLUTELY NO ONE WAITING GOR THEM TO OPEN ETC .. I absolutely left and took my money elsewhere read more

I went for the Monday lunch special yesterday. The place is not much to look at...signs missing or falling down, etc. since it was lunch and there was not many people around, frankly, I wasn't really expecting much. Boy, was I wrong! The lunch came with a good sized helping of red beans and rice with sausage. Red beans were seasoned with sausage and an additional two links on the plate. The whole thing was pleasantly spicy. Additionally, there were three good sized catfish fillets included which were seasoned to perfection! All for just over $10! I definitely will be coming back the next time I am in town! read more

they got our order wrong , we ordered three thing but they only gave us two , and the man kept slamming the window in our face saying "hold on " while we were still talking , food is great but the service , I could've did without read more

Slow as I've ever seen and the employees are too busy cutting up to get any work done. How do these places stay open with shotty service?

Mane I went got me some of the best shrimps in Alexandria. I think the lady name there is Katy and she has good people skills and a sense of humor. GO Debarge's!!!!!! read more

Got our crawfish fix over Easter from Debarge's . Ordered 15 lbs of crawfish but it included corn and potatoes so seemed a bit high per pound given it was a lot potatoes, corn and claws. The cracklings are the best I have had in a long time. Definitely would buy again from them but would prefer to see what's in the bags before we get home. Good people and on the mark for authentic down home boil on visit from SoCal. read more

Debarges is amazing! Best little joint to get your Cajun good! The Spicy Crawfish, Cracklins, Boudin Balls, and Meat pies are always delicious! We stop here every time we pass through Alexandria! read more

5/5! We stopped here on our way to New Orleans for lunch. We were expecting just to get some crawfish and eat it, but we got something worth much, much more than that. Don't be fooled by their appearance! The storefront may look small, but their food packs a powerful punch. We strolled into the store, and were met by some of the most welcoming and nicest employees! They talked us through some of the different options available for crawfish and their other menu options. After thinking about it, we got the small crawfish and shrimp combo. Unfortunately, there were no tables to eat on, but as hungry travelers, this didn't hold us back. We decided to enjoy our crawfish out front on the sidewalk. While we were sitting there contemplating how to best dispose of the shells, one of the wonderful ladies there came out with supplies for us! We graciously accepted the disposable trays, plastic bags, and paper towels and went to town eating the yummy food! When we finished, we went back into the store to order some boudin balls and wash our hands. The same lady offered to take what remained of the crawfish and shrimp and dispose of it for us! As for the food itself, I do not think we could have picked a better time! We came right during crawfish season, so the crawfish were very reasonably priced, AND were super large, too. The seasonings were a perfect mix of savory and spicy, without one overpowering the other. For those who are not as keen with spicy foods, the house dipping sauce helps to relieve the heat while also providing a rich, cool flavor on top of the crawfish, shrimp, or whatever else you decide to dip into it. The corn and potatoes were cooked perfectly as well. They weren't overcooked or undercooked, but rather the corn was juicy and tender and the potatoes were super smooth and soft. All in all, I cannot offer any higher praise for Debarges Crawfish. The service was excellent, and is what I would call a perfect example of Southern hospitality. For whatever reason you decide to come to Debarges Crawfish, you will leave with a full belly and satisfied about choosing it! read more

Wanted some Cracklins so stopped by on my way back from Texas first and last time here got the pork cracklins they were the worst dry and hard and not taste at all got the shrimp there was no potatoes the seasoning was bad none the corn was just boiled in butter and the turkey necks were too seems as if they boil the shrimp in a little seasoning and that's it nothing is cooked with flavor I will never go back it's the worst if I could give it 0 stars that's what it would be I wasted almost 50.00. read more

This place is TAKE-OUT ONLY. Great food. But no dine in. We tried most everything they offer. All were good.

They charged me 8$ for 3 lil ass boudin balls... where the person who usually makes the boudin balls... they use to be way bigger read more

Debarge's Crawfish - They wrong for this blshit 2.50$ for these lil ass boudin balls I ordered 3 like I usually do but I feel robbed and bamboozled - Seafood Markets Near Me - Alexandria, Louisiana

It was ok. We had to wait a while. Menu was not clear. Outside vs inside vs another did not matchup. Crawfish was nice and spicy though.

Came to enjoy the crawfish, but found out it was drive thru & take out only. Ended up trying the boudin balls only, and they were great.

Most definitely will be heading back to this place the next time I'm in the area. I read the reviews and checked out all of the pictures that were posted and non of it did any justice to just how delicious the food really is. The line was initially long however it went really quickly. We went through the the drive through and greeted with a friendly smile and great customer service. We placed our order not knowing if it would be enough for the both of us especially after hearing the total. But let me tell ya it was more than enough especially since my husband eats a lot. After paying we were asked to pull around to the second window where we would actually receive the food. The time it took to get our food let's us know it's really made to order. This alone brings so much joy. Ahhhhhhh FRESH FOOD !!!!! We ordered boudin, fish, shrimp and fries. And I must say that I didn't expect the food to actually be that good. All in all we enjoyed everything and will be returning. read more

Passing by the state and wanted to try authentic food. The place looked questionable from the outside and had no dining in but the food was good. I took the cashiers recommendation and she didn't steer me wrong. I got the meat pie, cracklings and pepper jack boudin ball. Good stuff, and I'm glad that we stopped. read more

I, was visiting from New Orleans Louisiana for my vacation, and I'm a Chef by trade. The person that served me was very polite, and The Food Was Absolutely Amazing! The Food was almost gone before I got back to the hotel. My only complaint was , I didn't get enough of the hush puppies I Will Definitely Be Back! read more

If I could give 6 stars it would be appropriate. This is the best for the price. Huge crawdaddies, like lobster size!!!

What a great find! Loved the boiled shrimp and fried jalapeños! Definitely gonna make a return trip!

On our way back from a road trip, my car was desperate for some crawfish. We found this place first but since there was no where to sit and eat, we kept looking. After driving in circles for about an hour and looking on Yelp for places, only to find that apparently they are all closed on Monday, we decided to grab some here and eat it at a nearby McDonald's. They were actually about an hour past closing time but still letting customers in and taking orders. The lady (I think an owner or manager) was extremely nice, friendly, and efficient. She popped some meat pies to be cooked just for us. Everything on the menu was cheap. I got a couple pounds of crawfish and some potatoes for like a quarter each. It was all very flavorful and pretty spicy. I'm glad we stopped here! read more

A++++ early May and the crawfish are huge. I got 3lbs today at $5/lb. They were all large except like 2 medium sized ones in there. Seasoning was great they had good heat but not too much. I had to walk 20 minutes from my hotel to get them and it was very much worth it. It's take out only so don't expect to go there and eat. read more

Your typical boiling shack, except they've the perks of a cajun meat market. Stuffed pork chops, boudin, cracklins. Their crawfish are different from any that I've had because they add pickled jalapenos to the boil, giving it a spicier, yet tangy and very distinct flavor. Unfortunately, their shrimp were very hard to peel, over cooked, and without the head. That's a tough one to get right, but their crawfish are spot on. read more

This is a true Alexandria institution. This is my third time going there, and it's walk-in or drive thru, but it has a large selection of Louisiana specialties that are hard to beat, such as cracklins, boudin links, boudin balls, pistolette, fried fish, etc. Very friendly owners, and the boudin balls ($1.50 each) are so delicious that I got 6 for my dad in Miami who considers them a real treat (there's nothing like that in South Florida). read more

Delish!!! Small place big pride! I was visiting out of state. Boudin was soo good and the pork cracklin! The staff were so nice! Yummy

Spent 3 months in Alexandria for workand this place was amazing. I ended up eating here for lunch almost every day. If I am ever back in Alexandria this is where I will be going. read more

Wow, this place was exactly what I wanted it to be. Cajun in california is mediocre compared to this place. Best fried shrimp I have ever had, and I loved that all the boiled food had a different flavor, the buttered corn, potatoes, and shrimp were fantastic. read more

A co-worker picked this place and we pulled in expecting to dine in. When we realized it was take out, we debated moving on but decided to go in anyway. I started with a Boudin Ball with Pepper Jack Cheese. It was fantastic! Moist, spicy and very tasty. For my meal, I had the Boiled Shrimp with Corn & Potatoes. Between the cayenne pepper and sliced jalapeños, the shrimp was nice and spicy. The potatoes were perfect to soak up the flavor and the sweetness of the corn cut the heat nicely. The hotel lobby wasn't where I expected to dine but I'm so glad we didn't decide to find something else. The meal was a great value for the money and very, very tasty! In fact, this was my favorite meal of the trip! read more

Marvy is marvelous. We look forward to chatting with her each & every visit. Boudin balls are delicious. The outside is crispy like fried chicken. Inside had a good flavor- you can taste the vegetables. Couldn't believe they were selling crawfish at Christmas! $5.99/#. We were told the owners have traps in their backyard. They packed the crawfish up really well. A definite plus since we were headed to Baton Rouge with it- no spills or smell in our new ride! Thanks Debarges! We'll be back :) read more

Ughhhh I ordered the 3 fish 3 shrimp plate, I got 6 little shrimp and NO FISH !!! Check your order before you drive away!!!! The sign in the window tells u to check because they won't fix it , my dumb self listen to the girl read off my order so perfectly when she handed to me makes me think I can trust her. NOPE! Also my plate didn't come with the jalapeño as listed either. So SAD! read more

I was hesitant about the crawfish because it was boiled with tons of jalopenos, but surprisingly it wasn't overly spicy it was the perfect amount of spice, this is probably one of my favorite places to get crawfish from! read more

The crawfish and corn were delicious. Seasoned just right. I'll have to try more items in the future 2/3/16 update. Tried the shrimp and it was great...catfish was bland, though. Going from 5 to 4 stars. So far I love the crawfish and shrimp. read more

I stop often to get the boudin links. They are delicious. I have ordered other items from the menu and they were delicious as well. The staff is always polite and never a long wait! read more

I use to eat here all of the time. I moved away to TX and I am here visiting. I couldn't wait to get some crawfish at Debarge's . I bought 6 lbs. About a pound and a half was just smashed guts and claws with out tails. I bought 5 potatoes. Four of the potatoes were a good normal size. The fifth one was actually a mashedup mess. What a total waste of money. The crawfish was $8 a pound and was horrible. On top of everything the employees were not even friendly. I should have taken a picture to add to the gallery of false advertisements. Just to let you all know you need to move on down the road to somewhere that you actually get what you paid for.

I ordered 4 lbs of cracklins on 12/17/19 to be vacuum packed and was told by the manager they would be ready for pick up on 12/18/19. I made advance payment over the phone with the manager and gave her my phone number and i find out today 12/18/19, there are no cracklins available. They took my money and was told i wouldn't be getting the cracklins as expected. I tried calling the manager and she is not available. Will no longer be doing business with them. read more

Best boudin balls in town! My dad was sick with Covid and hadn't eaten for days. When he said he wanted boudin balls, we rushed to order from Debarge's using the Waitr app. https://waitrapp.com/restaurants/2681 He savored every bite and asked for more! read more

On business trip to Alexandria and used Yelp to find this place. Such a gem! I'm a little on this review as I was here 4/29/15. It has a drive thru window. Yay! I ordered crawfish and cracklins. I can do without the jalapenos in my crawfish but i picked them off. But the cracklins are to die for!! Literally. Can't eat too much of that or you'll die of coronary heart disease. Food was delish and staff is super nice! read more

Crawfish is the most expensive in the area, but they are the best tasting to me! EVERYTIME I'm in Alexandria I go straight to Debarges. The customer service is excellent and they put your crawfish in a durable plastic bag for no spills. They also sell THE BEST CRACKLINS EVER! I always get the cracklins too. The cracklins are not fried too hard and they have meat versus some I had where it's mostly fat. read more

Debarge's Crawfish - Seafood Markets Near Me - Alexandria, Louisiana

Love the cracklings. I have never had any that were as good. Great service. Just a hole on the place.

Place was small, take out or drive thru. Came here because everywhere else was closed on a Saturday. Glad I brought did. Boudin were amazing. Shrimp was pretty decent. read more

I normally would have given this place 5 stars as I've done in the past but after my last order for a 15 piece shrimp was short and when I called to inquire how it could be corrected I was treated as if I lied and could not count I decided I probably shouldn't eat there again. In top of that the prices have gone up extremely high in comparison to a few weeks ago. All I know is this business was mentioned on the local news as to have been found in violation of selling "catfish" and since that time prices have gone up. Coincidence? I'm just saying. read more
