    Charbroiled Oysters
    Alyssa L.

    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.

    Jacked up oysters. Delicious!
    Ray M.

    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.

    Food sub par . Disappointing for Louisiana... Service was awesome that made up for the cold etouffee.

    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!!!

    Jacked Up Oysters
    Janiya H.

    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.

    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.

    Seafood gumbo. Taste burnt.
    Adrianna P.

    Average tasting. Oysters were small but tasted okay. I had the seafood gumbo and it tasted burnt.

    Blackened alligator appetizer $17usd
    Audra D.

    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.

    Charbroiled/grilled oysters
    Marcel C.

    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.

    Charbroiled Oysters
    Matt H.

    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!

    Grilled Salmon
    Joelle J.

    Can't go wrong with when coming here as there are many different great food options to choose from! I decided to go with the grilled salmon which was great. I definitely enjoy coming to get a great bite to eat and watching a game on tv.

    Babyyyyy let me tell y'all... I would have gone out HAPPY Saturday night after eating here and that…read moreis NOT an exaggeration ‍ From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was so peaceful and welcoming. And can we talk about the music?! Christian music playing the whole time -- that's all we listen to, so my son was over there having his own little concert knowing every word lol. It just felt GOOD in there. Now listen... they were BUSY busy (Saturday night, so we expected that), and we were starvingggg, so we skipped the appetizers -- which honestly hurt my feelings a little because they sounded SO good And I HAVE to shout out the server/owner -- because baby, my dad is 80 years old and will talk to ANYBODY about ANYTHING. When I say they handled him like a pro... I mean patient, kind, laughing with him, never rushing him off -- just truly good people. If you know, you know Let's get into the food though I ordered the BBQ bacon cheeseburger (no onions) with fries... AND a fresh squeezed lemonade that was absolutely BOMB ‍ Like refreshing, perfect, not too sweet -- I could've had about three of those, easy My dad got the surf & turf burger, my sister got a regular burger, my brother-in-law had the crawfish étouffée with fried catfish, and my son got chicken fingers. We did have a bit of a wait, but honestly it gave us time to sit, talk, and enjoy being together -- no complaints there BUT BABY... when that food hit the table... Not. One. Word. Except "OMG this is the best thing I've ever eaten!!!" That burger?!?! I'm not even kidding -- I would request that as my LAST MEAL. It was THICK, juicy, cooked perfectly. The bacon? Crispy perfection The sourdough bun? Soft, fluffy, just holding everything together like it was sent from Heaven The BBQ sauce wasn't overpowering -- just right. AND let me say this... I am the DIPPING SAUCE QUEEN I normally need ranch, ketchup, something on the side at all times... but this burger?! I didn't touch a single sauce. Not ONE. It stood on its own and didn't need a thing I did not stop eating until it was GONE. No to-go box. No shame. No regrets. I usually can't even finish a burger anywhere, but this one?? I couldn't put it down. And when I tell you EVERYONE cleaned their plates -- I mean EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. Even my son, who is VERY picky about his "chicken nuggets," was tearing those chicken fingers UP and talking about how good they were So will I be back? ABSOLUTELY. Will I recommend it? Already have ‍ Will I start a petition (or boycott ) if they ever take that burger off the menu? Don't test me. Also... sorry there are no pictures We turned into straight feral animals the second that food hit the table 10/10 -- run, don't walk.

Not only was it busy but it was slammed and they say it's like this all day long. My foodie cohort and I ordered 5lbs of crawfish and the shrimp and catfish platter with fries and onion rings to split. The crawfish was the best I have had and Bob agreed. What a place to visit. The folks around us were kind and friendly and referring foods and places to go. Recommend you get here and prepare for a little waiting for seating unless you just want to grab a few lbs of crawdads, shrimps, crabs and so on to take home with you. Great service, awesome ambiance and amazing food.... Remember to support your local eateries so we both don't starve...

I got the $10 lunch special of 1/2 po'boy and cup of seafood gumbo. Loved that I actually got a gumbo FULL of seafood and it tasted wonderful too. It was perfect for a cold day. The po'boy was actually larger and a 1/2. Shrimp was fried crispy perfectly, bread was fresh. I left full. I did order a side of fries and they came out cold. Our waitress never came back to check on us so we could ask for new fries. They also charge $3 for a styrofoam cup. It's not asked, it's handed to you and charged. I'm only a water drinker so $3 for tap water is annoying. Food also took quite a long time for an after lunch rush. Would maybe recommend pre-ordering to go if you're on a time crunch.
