East Harbor is a newer restaurant, but I'm already obsessed! I'm ashamed to say how many times we've been there already since we discovered it. If you love seafood boils, you have to come by to try this place out! They have boiled seafood very similar to the kind that's served at Big EZ Seafood and Oyster in Kenner, but they also have regular Americanized Chinese food if you're in the mood for some Chinese takeout. I love their Chinese takeout food too, but the bags of boiled seafood are really the appeal here. Their portions are large and generous, their prices low and cheap, the quality of food is high, and everything is delicious. The boiled seafood here is a little bit different than the truly New Orleanian style of boil you might be used to eating. You can choose the type of seasonings you want (Cajun, spicy seafood, garlic butter, lemon pepper, or a combination of multiple),and you can choose your spice/heat level (mild to extra hot) too. I love the customization! Their seafood "combos" are a fantastic deal. For example, for just $20, you get 1lb of shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage slices. This is my favorite go-to item here for sure. Because it's messy, if you're eating there, they provide you with disposable gloves and a wet wipe, which we all welcome lol Their Chinese takeout is great too and always comes with generous portions. One thing to note is that the takeout items tend to be a little low on salt for my tastes, but that's an easy fix with a salt shaker. I think it's a good thing especially for people who might have dietary restrictions on their sodium intake. Remember, it's easy to add salt to a dish, but nearly impossible to remove it! All in all, East Harbor is a 5-star, must-try, go-to-favorite restaurant! ESPECIALLY for their boiled seafood!!

The Chinese food here was just okay for me. The rice was decent and the lo mein was actually pretty good, but the sesame chicken fell flat--more chewy than crispy and not very flavorful. The crab rangoons were the standout of the meal, definitely the best thing we tried. I wasn't a fan of the pork & shrimp egg roll though; it had an unexpected cinnamon/nutmeg taste that threw the flavor off for me. Overall, it was worth trying once for take out..... but I personally wouldn't go back.

Infant crawfish
Tamsy K.

The food is sadly a hit or miss. I went once before and had great food and today I had the same crawfish combo and the crawfish were soooooo small it was crumbling in my hand when I peel it. I told the waiter and she agreed that it was way too small, I told the hostess/manager if they can take it off my bill because they didn't inform me they had infant crawfish. She did not remove the crawfish off my bill even though I did not eat it. She said that it's due to the season and I explained to here that you should inform ppl if it's that tiny. I would say stay away from the crawfish here at the current time unless you like them small. Don't advertise crawfish if the quality is not good. This is not good service to me today especially if someone doesn't touch the food, sorry.

Shrimp combo in Cajun butter sauce
Adiaha M.

Came here because my daughter LOVES seafood and it's not too far from home. I prefer traditional boiled seafood over covered in sauce style that every seems to enjoy these days but I was a team player and gave this place a try. We started with the charbroiled oyster which were ok but I wouldn't get them again. My husband had fried chicken wings which were very hot and crispy I just wish they had a bit more spice. My daughter had the crawfish special which came with crawfish shrimp crab cluster plus corn potatoes and sausage and she really enjoyed it. I got headless shrimp which were a decent size and had a good flavor. My son also tried the orange chicken with shrimp fried rice. He didn't care for it but I ate it and thought it was good. Given my daughter's obsession with seafood I anticipate we'll be back and it's cheaper than the chain we typically frequent in Metairie.

Four seasons

We came in Saturday night without a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. Our waitress was amazing from the second we sat down. I really wish I remembered her name because she was super attentive, funny, patient, and honestly made the whole experience even better. My boyfriend and I started with the Creole oysters and OMG... probably some of the best oysters I've ever had. They were incredibly flavorful, and dipping the bread into all that sauce afterward was SO good. My mother-in-law had the fried calamari, which came with remoulade, and she really enjoyed it. For my entrée, I had the jambalaya with chicken and andouille sausage. It was definitely spicy, but really, really good. My boyfriend and mother-in-law both had the grilled red snapper topped with their creamy crawfish sauce, and they loved it. My father-in-law had one of the oyster specials with shrimp and crawfish, which was also excellent. We finished with dessert... boyfriend and I had a chocolate mousse/cake dessert and my in-laws had the bread pudding. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was casual and fun, they had the football games playing on the TVs, and our waitress was fantastic the entire night. Just an overall great experience. If you love seafood and oysters, definitely give this place a try. I would 100% come back!

Hot N Cajun was easily one of my favorite seafood stops in New Orleans! From the moment that…read moresteaming seafood boil bag hit the table, I knew we were in for a good meal. This was my first time having noodles added to a seafood boil, and let me tell you--they were a GAME CHANGER. The noodles soaked up all that rich, buttery Cajun sauce and seasoning, making every bite ridiculously flavorful. I honestly don't know if I can order another seafood boil without noodles now! Our boil was loaded with crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn, and egg, and everything came out piping hot and covered in sauce. The seafood was flavorful, the portions were generous, and once we dumped everything onto the tray, it was officially time to get messy. What I really appreciated was how well everything worked together. The noodles weren't just an unnecessary add-on--they caught all that extra sauce that normally gets left at the bottom of the bag. Do yourself a favor and add them! Come hungry, roll up your sleeves, and don't wear anything you're afraid to get Cajun sauce on. Hot N Cajun delivered exactly what I wanted from a New Orleans seafood boil: hot, messy, saucy, flavorful, and satisfying. The noodles alone made this one memorable. Definitely coming back!

I went to Bon Ton Prime Rib for my birthday Saturday 8/29 with a party of 13, and unfortunately,…read morethe experience was a mix of good and bad. The good: The food was really good! Everything we ordered was delicious, and honestly, the food is the main reason I would consider giving Bon Ton another try. I also want to give credit to the host who greeted us. She was extremely friendly, professional, and genuinely tried her best to accommodate my party. The bad: The issue was management. I had a party of 13, and I understood that the restaurant could only seat 10 people at one table. I was told the other 3 guests would be seated at a separate table, and I was completely okay with that arrangement. However, Travis, the front manager, canceled the reservation for my 3 additional guests, so they were never seated. The host was trying her best to help us, but Travis was not very accommodating and made the situation much more difficult than it needed to be. I also asked to speak with a manager because I wanted to understand what happened with the table for my 3 guests. Tre was told that I wanted to speak with him, but he didn't come over when he finished with the table behind me. Instead, he went into the kitchen, came back out, and spoke with my friend instead of me. When he eventually spoke with me, I asked if he was the manager, and he told me no. He also gave me a different name. What makes this even more disappointing is that I wasn't approaching him to complain. I simply wanted to ask about the seating situation and find a solution for my guests. The interaction with management was unnecessary and took away from what should have been a special birthday dinner. I will say again that the food was good enough that I am willing to give Bon Ton another try. Hopefully, next time the service and management experience will match the quality of the food. Shoutout to the host for being kind and trying her best--you could tell she genuinely cared about helping us.

I had the taste of New Orleans - 2 pieces of fried catfish, with 3 sides. The catfish was amazing…read more The breading was done to perfection, and the fish itself was fresh and just flaked apart with the fork. My first side was the mac and cheese, which was just the right size, served in a small metal side bowl, with a great cheesy flavor. The second side was cabbage, recommended to me by my waiter. it was broiled up in a savoury consommé liquid that just gave it all sorts of flavor. The third side was candied yams, that were done to perfection with a sweet brown sugar undertone. To drink, I had the freshly squeezed lemonade made on site. With all the rest of the foods, it was a perfect compliment to an amazing meal! I got there around 11:30 AM, and was quickly shown to a table. I think I just beat the lunch rush as there was a lineup out the door by the time I left. However, the waiter never made me feel rushed, provided excellent insights into the food, and was extremely laid back and friendly. The atmosphere was very much a laid-back casual dining experience. with tasteful decor, nice high ceilings and a few TVs quietly playing some sports highlights. My only regret was not having enough room to try the famous fried chicken and their delicious-sounding desserts! A must-go for those who are wanting a true NOLA experience!

He then headed over to a newly seated table on the otherside of us to greet and get their orders. One patron was asking questions about the menu. Buffalo cauliflower $11- really done well. The florets were still crispy eventhough they were drenched in Buffalo sauce. My main course was the 1/4 dark with red beans & rice and corn bread $18. First let me talk about the red beans and rice...good flavor, well balanced. A really good side kick to the star. The fried chicken is really good. It was hot, crunchy and juicy!
