I have never had a bad experience at Dan seafood in Hammond. I have attended several birthday parties at Dan's, and we were always treated very well and the food had always been delicious. read more

Had an ok experience. I had the gumbo and the charbroiled oysters. My gumbo was a little cold. The oysters were ok. I Went with some friends and family and they seemed to enjoy. I would go back to try again just to compare and also try an entree. read more

The oyster were amazing like always. The rest of the food not so much. Was in town seeing family and Don's has always been an amazing restaurant. But this time, the food was not the best. I got the Cajun ravioli. You could taste the freezer on the food. The service was rushed. We had to ask for plates for the appetizer. Barely saw our waitress. The restaurant was empty so they weren't busy. read more

What a fantastic place! It's been here for years, and every time I come it seems to get better. Started the evening off with a cup of Seafood Gumbo. True Louisiana Gumbo. Glad they didn't bring out potato salad with it!!. Each item on the Crawfish platter was fantastic. Really enjoyed the Au Gratin! The server was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant had a great vibe and was very clean. It was a great dining experience. read more

FOOD WAS GRAND AND SO WAS CHLOE! Thanks for a great date night! We can't wait to come back. The shrimp were fresh and the spinach dip is so good if you don't get it, you don't know what the heck you're doing. read more

My first time at Don's spent a litttlleee more than what I wanted to ($128 including tip) but it was worth it! The alligator bites were bite soft, the quesadillas with the avocado sauce was flavorful, both the raw and charbroiled oyesters were amaaazzinngg. Me and my husband went around 2:00ish and it wasn't crazy busy. Our waitress was kinda MIA but she was super sweet. Not pictured was the bread pudding my husband got (I'm not a fan of bread pudding so I didn't try it) but I did get the turtle cheesecake (fresh made daily btw) and it was the best cheesecake I've ever had even over Outback's cheesecake. $7 for a nice sized slice of cheesecake. We left around 3:00 and by 7:00 we were contemplating going back for seconds lol. read more

This restaurant was recommended as the place to eat for seafood so we decided to try it even though my husband is not a fan of seafood. (He let me choose!) However he found a delicious sandwich choice which he enjoyed. But what really caught his eye was the white chocolate bread pudding which he said was delicious! My red snapper was prepared as I asked and was delicious. I also really liked the green beans. Our server was wonderful and did a great job helping us make menu choices. We arrived before the evening rush so it was quiet. It was also decorated attractively. read more

Everything was great! EJ was our most excellent server and was on the ball the entire meal. We were hungry and got a little bit of everything. We had 6 pounds of boiled crawfish, the crawfish ravioli, fried catfish with fries, the spinach seafood dip, salad, and the jacked up cheeseburger. The portions were very generous and everything tasted great. I think the only thing that could have been better if they were different options for the flavors of crawfish. The crawfish was definitely fresh and easy to peel... But the boil was barely mild. They did have spicy seasoning that you could add but I love when they're spicy/garliy much better . Overall the place is super clean, the service was fantastic and the food was very tasty. read more

If I could put 0 stars I would. Awful seafood platter. Tasted like everything was cooked in the same nasty grease. Shrimp tasted old and like it had a soapy taste to it. read more

Food is always exceptionally good!!! Charbroiled oysters are a must for me every-time. There is always something new to try on the drink menu. Bella was our server and she was friendly and has a great attitude. She was an important part of what made this meal above average!!! Check them out when you are in Hammond read more

Service great... Food I can cook better in south Texas. Private party going on drunk individuals loud and using table chairs to lean on . Had to move to a different location. Unfortunately not able to have conversation with fiance. Most food seems micro waved due to speed it came out . Some had to be sent back due to cold I mean cold temperatures!!! read more

Dons Seafood- Hammond - Food sub par . Disappointing for Louisiana... Service was awesome that made up for the cold etouffee. - Seafood Near Me - Hammond, Louisiana

I'm a Hammond native! Have always loved Don's since I was a kid. The best oysters in town! Every time I go I have to get an order of the fried crab claws. Zach and Braylee are my two fav ppl to be there behind the bar & on the oysters. I wish they bring back Oyster Monday but, other than that no complaints! Always a hospitable place. read more

Wow. Those jacked up oysters were incredible! A young lady at the bar told me to get them and I did. I had a nice cold beer with them. They also brought out some delicious buttered French bread. It was great for sopping up that delicious sauce under the oysters. That's all I had but it was enough to make me come back. The service was A plus. Kait was very sweet. read more

If I could do negative stars, I would. Everything was bad except the bartender. Crawfish was mushy and tiny; shouldn't even be selling food like that. Even had a couple crawfish that tasted like they were dipped in gasoline first. Potatoes were sour. Corn was so hard, i could barely chew it off the cob. Hushpuppies were cold. One of the worst meals I've ever had and I've been a Dons Seafood fan for years. Cold McDonald's food would have been better... read more

4 stars for the food 5 stars for our waiter Tre. I am visiting and my family went to Don's seafood for dinner. Tre was our waiter, and he grts 5 stars. Tre was amazing, nice, and tentative. There were 7 of us at our table. 1 person ordered a burger, w people order a po-boy with chicken since they don't eat shrimp, I ordered the shrimp platter to share, and the other person ordered the seafood combo to share. Appetizers: seafood spinach dip and onion rings. And the bread pudding for dessert.. Seafood spinach dip: Will order again. It was good with the chips. Onion rings: Amazing, I love onion ring, and you can tell they make their own batter. Bread pudding: AMAZING. A little sweet, however, it was amazing. Burger: They said it was okay. They had better. Chicken po-boy: it was enough for 2 people, so we did not need to order 2. They said it was okay. Shrimp dinner: Hush puppies were good, the shrimp gumbo: I did not.care for, shrimp Étouffée was pretty good, the jacked up shrimp was a little spicy but good, the stuff potatoes was good, stuffed Gulf shrimp, was good, fried Gulf shrimp good, shrimp au gratin a little creamy not to my liking, it was okay, broiled gulf shrimp was good. Seafood Combo Stuffed Gulf shrimp: This was good, fried Louisiana catfish: it was fried a little too hard, Gulf shrimp was good, fried Louisiana Gulf oysters they were good & shrimp étouffée: a little salty, it was good..Served with French fries & coleslaw, did not like. read more

From out of town, heard this place was good and it was! Husband had Shrimp Dinner, I had 1/2 shrimp, 1/2 etouffee. Loved both of mine and husband did too but thought the portion sizes of each of his entreees were a bit small. His was twice the price but didn't feel it was enough food to fit the price. All food was great, Hannah was a great server! 5 stars!! read more

Oysters were amazing. Everything else was terrible. No lie. Service was top tier. I hate to leave a bad review bc the ppl were so nice but the food was awful. We had a party of 3 and we all ordered apps and food and dessert. We tasted each others meals and nothing but the oysters were good. read more

Have been to Don's twice in the last 3 months (when close) and both times have been incredible. The staff and food are fantastic.

Random stop for some local dinner. Tried the crawfish platter. DELICIOUS. As well as the appetizer of blackened alligator. My daughter ate most of it, she couldn't get enough. Would order the appetizer again as a meal. It was so delicious. read more

Maddie was great. She provided great service and went above and beyond. She made a family outing great!

Food was delicious - the service was great; the bartender and the young man on grill were super friendly and welcoming. The grill the oysters right there at the bar - which is pretty cool to watch... place needs a little updating.... But it's cozy and welcoming. read more

Dons Seafood- Hammond - Charbroiled/grilled oysters - Seafood Near Me - Hammond, Louisiana

This place was a very pleasant surprise. I was able to get one of the last reservations available here on a Thursday, I pulled up the restaurant, and the parking lot was full; a great sign! I ordered charbroiled oysters and a crawfish boil with potatoes, corn and andouille sausage. The oysters were big, silky, garlicky, cheesy, salty and downright delicious! Being from Ohio, this was my first time eating Louisiana style crawfish, I typically eat Viet Cajun at home or when I'm on the road, and I really appreciate the Louisiana style. Simple, spicy, routed in tradition, but it still lets the crawfish speak for itself. I was lucky to visit Louisiana when the crawfish were in season and plump. Really enjoyed the food and the experience. Highly recommend! read more

Garrett is a wonderful server he always takes care of us with everything we need good service and good food

Thinking a 2.5 but went with 2 new side of the consistency meh.... Service was really good. Our waitress was quick and checked in with us and after dinner watching some of a game at the bar, both bartenders were very good and kept up with us. Food-stared with chargrilled oysters that were pretty good except for all the broken shells pieces. Out 12 at least 5 had multiple shell pieces making it really hard to enjoy. Dinner with seafood combo had cool soggy fried oysters, shrimp étouffée tasted like they thickened with cornstarch instead of making a roux, funky tasting catfish but nice frys (yea..). Wife had grilled stuffed shrimp and were ok but didn't finish. Good note...sweet hush puppies tasted really good. Figured we would just go to the bar and watch a little football and have some dessert. Don't go for the bread pudding (thanks to the bartender for taking it off the bill) tried a couple bites but no flavor and consistency was a thick jelled blob. Nothing horrible but just consistently bla or disappointing for $115. read more

Very disappointed in Don's seafood. For the money you pay, you should get better food and more of it. It was as if my fish came from the knock-off brand of frozen fish sticks. I could have done better on the crawfish etouffee by dumping a can of blue runner etouffee on my plate. The boudin balls even seemed different. I got this feeling that they went with cheap food but charged the same high price to make up for losses during these tough times. It showed in the portions and taste of the food. It will be a long time before I think of going back to Don's seafood. read more

Our order was good as it always is when we eat here . The service was excellent this past time as it always is when we dine at Don's !

I worked at dons for almost 4 years, so I could possibly be a little biased, BUT always have the best food and the best service in town! As appetizer, we got the seafood spinach dip and boyyyy it was just as good as I remember!! For our meals, boyfriend got the ribeye and I got the grilled stuffed shrimp. Both delicious, of course. Plenty of tvs on site to watch on game nights too. Come check out Don's!! read more

It's been a couple of years since my last visit but Don's Seafood is still great. They bring out sliced French bread after you order and it is perfection, then I had Chargrilled oysters which were good and finished with a small catfish and shrimp dinner that is served with coleslaw, fries, and hush puppies. I hope I get the chance to come back again to try some other options before I go home! read more

stopped by for lunch and was seated immediately. the restaurant is typical cajun decor as is the menu. i had catfish with red beans and rice and he had fish. we both enjoyed our meal. my fish was crisp and hot and the red beans had a nice flavor. the presentation of each plate was a little lacking but it was lunch so maybe they weren't on the top of their game. it's a solid stop but not a do not miss read more

Can't go wrong with anything in the menu. Service is great - ask what's freshest and they will lead you in the right direction. Good cocktails, too. read more

Stopped here for lunch as we were passing through. Our server was very sweet and attentive. They bring you some slices of buttered French bread when your seated. We ordered hush puppies for appetizer and they were very good. I got the lunch portion gumbo and added a side of potato salad. The potato salad was so good! The gumbo was good with a nice spice to it but I'd say a bit stew like with the thickness it was, but good flavor nonetheless. My husband got half shrimp, half catfish. It came with fries and he subbed the slaw for sweet corn grits. It was all hot and fresh with good flavor. Overall a good experience. read more

Food, service and ambiance is a Louisiana staple. This is the place you cannot wait to go eat at again.

The service was excellent! The food, just average. Sorry. I'll look somewhere else next time

Brunch is not good. The Crab Cake Benedict had no crabmeat. The Bayou Benedict had no andouille. Service was wonderful.

When we pulled up, there was a ton of cars in the parking lot, but surprisingly no wait time. The food was absolutely delicious. A little overpriced, but really tasty. The blackened redfish was delicious. It was not spicy at all - it just had a good flavor. The red beans and rice was delicious also. I probably wouldn't order the macaroni and cheese again. read more

I was so excited about this place, we are from Wisconsin, love Cajun and creole food, the place looks awesome. My blackened redfish was really good. The Mac and cheese was fine. My husbands entire dinner was cold, like real cold. He got the seafood platter, plus a cup of gumbo, so I think $45 for his meal, the stuffed crab was good, fried catfish was great, etoufee was good, nothing to write home about. Gumbo was decent. The rest was cold and mediocre. Our waiter was super apologetic, and good, but it was all just good, even though I wanted it to be great! read more
