Emeril’s Table - shrimp etouffee - Seafood Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

So I am setting here at Emeril's table yet again. This is probably my 10th or 15th or 30th time here. Even though this is in my top 5 worest airport restaurants in the country (I have been to alot btw). It could be the absolute worst but I will be nice and keep it in the worest 5. Yet I am here again. It's not that the service makes up for things, it certainly doesn't it is horrible. Maybe the food is worth it, no that is pretty awful too. The big question is why do I come here every time I am at the New Orleans airport? I really don't know. Maybe it is habitat or tradition. I think maybe it must be that I am forcing myself to serve some sort of penance. Some kind of punishment for the good time and good food I had while I was here in NOLA. Any I guess this is a review of my own sanity more than this horrible restaurant because I know in 3 months when I am back in New Orleans I will be setting right wondering why all over again. read more

This place has what is probably the best airport food I've ever had. We got red beans and rice, gumbo, and a cheeseburger. I'd put the gumbo and rb&r up against any I've had in New Orleans. Even the burger was better than most. Well seasoned beef topped with cheese, pickles and remoulade. Nice and simple without tomatoes, onions and lettuce to get in the way. read more

Food was excellent, shrimp and grits. Service and attitude and payment process was terrible. There is more to a restaurant besides the meal. Especially here, we're there to catch a plane, not a leisurely day away from home. read more

I don't normally rave about airport food but this time is different. We got to the airport early to avoid rush hour traffic. It was our last shot to get some good Cajun food. There was about a 20 min wait for a table but the staff was friendly and communicated well. We sat down and our waitress was not only friendly but checked on us quickly. The place was packed so I had a little mercy knowing she was busying We ordered the nachos thinking it would take awhile to get our dinner. Unfortunately they brought the nachos out only a couple mins before the entrees. We could have easily split that for dinner. It was food but just a lot. My wife was excited about her shrimp PoBoy. It looked awesome and she loved it. I even got a bite and was equally impressed. I ordered the penne pasta with shrimp and sausage. It was scrumptious! Overall I was very pleased with our dinner. read more

I ordered the red beans and rice which was delicious. I ordered at the order sign and then was told I could not sit at a table. Give me a break! They said I had to order at the counter around the corner and that those tables for the dine in customers they told me I could sit at a counter facing the kitchen. The glass was filthy.

They were out of catfish so we left. That's lame for a Cajun restaurant, even in an airport

I had an adult beverage and a cheese pizza. The pizza was cooked just right. Flavorful with quality ingredients. Also, I was never made to feel rushed. It was a pleasant experience while waiting for my flight. The ambiance is open to the gate areas, but not loud. read more

Emeril's Table is one of the many nice restaurants located inside the NOLA airport. We weren't able to get a reservation at one of Emeril's restaurants, so we settled for the next best thing. We only got the burger and fries, nothing fancy, but it was a pretty darn good burger! Service wasn't great and I never got my water refilled even though I asked a few times. Needless to say, I was disappointed.... read more

Got the fried green tomatoes, steak fries, catfish, chicken wings, and a Woodford & coke and everything was 10/10! Including the service. Airport food is always overpriced and hit or miss with quality, but my friends and I were thoroughly pleased with the quality. And it wasn't over priced at all. Highly recommended. And I will stop here again! read more

Food was tasty. You order from the code on the table through your phone. And pay that way too. Wait staff brings out your drink and food then brings the bill. I ordered the shrimp and grits with andouille sausage and tomatoes. They do not cook the tomatoes and andouille in the sauce. They put them on top. One of the sausage was not cut all the way through and they only gave me a spoon so I had to carve it apart. I prefer my sausage with crispy edges. This was just a couple of pieces of sausage thrown on top. I make an awesome shrimp and grits and prefer mine to this one. The sauce separated and the oil cane to the top. I just stirred it up. Cost was 27.99. Water was 4.39. I expected it to be pricey. It is. I did clean the bowl though as it was tasty overall. read more

It was so bad. The waitress was very rude and impatient. The food was not very good, the chicken tenders on the po boy were chewy and lacking flavor, the pizza was cold, the salad was lacking flavor and the burger was alright. It was very complicated to order with the whole QR code system and our waitress didn't help .It was crowded because they're were lots of people in the airport and the staff just didn't seem happy to serve. read more

I was waiting on a flight and ended up stopping by here to get dinner. I ordered to go, which you do through your phone and scanning the QR code in front of the to go area. I got the Pasta Jambalaya $20.99. This did take a bit to receive so if you are in a rush I would probably get food from somewhere else. This was somewhat soupy, not sure if that is intentional or not. The chicken in it was meh, kind of tough and flavorless. The shrimp in it were juicy and bigger than I thought they would be. The noodles were super soft and limp. The sausage in it was negligible as it did not add much flavor either. The soupy sauce was where all the flavor was but overall for what you pay, just okay. read more

Airport food at this celebrity chef branded sit down restaurant at the edge of terminal b. The bar area is open seating so no need to wait if you go to the bar. Ordering is fine through QR code and they have wait staff and bartenders as well. I would say the food is just ok. I wasn't that hungry so opted for the gumbo. The rice was ok but there were a few kernels that were raw. I found the gumbo to on the salty end as well. Allot of people ordered the burger but to be it didn't look that special. I would say skip the food or stick with the fries if you need to nibble on something. The drinks were just average. I got the sparking margarita and a cosmo. Both were to sweet for my tastes. For a drink and a gumbo the bill came to about $39 (includes the tip and taxes) I would stick to beer or wine or basic drinks like vodka soda as the mixed cocktails are too sweet. read more

A bit of a letdown. I was hoping for a little bit more of an 'experience' considering Emeril's name is on it (yes, despite being an airport restaurant). This place is at the end of the terminal so it's sort of in a half circle shape. I came upon it on the 'wrong' side and had to walk around a bit until I found the host stand (not really their fault, just kind of an annoyance). Even though there were two people at the host stand, I had to wait a few minutes to be seated (not sure why). As others noted, there are no 'menus' or ordering through a server. You scan a QR code on your phone and it brings up a website where you place your order. I didn't mind that so much, though it was a bit of a pain having to keep clicking around to get to different parts of the menu. Although I didn't order through her, the server was pretty attentive. She let me know right after I ordered they were out of the wine I picked and suggested an alternate, and she did check on me throughout the meal. I ordered the fried catfish po' boy, which was pretty good. It was really hard to eat, though. Maybe that's just po' boys but because the catfish was so big I couldn't get a bite of fish along with the bread, etc. It had a decent flavor though, as did the fries. It looked like seating at the bar and the booths has outlets for laptops, which is nice if you were going to sit for a while waiting for your flight (though I was seated at one of the few tables 'in the middle' that didn't have outlets. I didn't mind ordering through the app, though it does take away some of the charm. It appeared the table next to me was having some issues with it, though, as they were trying to order more drinks and it didn't work (unclear if it was user error or a glitch), but the server was helpful. Not a terrible option, and the abundance of seating (and outlets) makes it a decent option. Just don't expect much ambiance/experience or food that's out of this world. read more

Food quality/taste- 3/4 Service- 3/4 Value/prices- 3 Ambiance- 4- Cleanliness- 4 We came here for dinner while we waited for our connecting flight. It looked like the best option for getting some "authentic" New Orleans food. You scan the menu and order your food online. I ordered a Moscow mule. It was VERY strong! My husband got a Blue Moon beer on tap. I ordered the crawfish nachos. My husband and daughter both ordered the Emeril burger. The nachos were ok. I would probably try something different next time. The burgers were pretty good- and pretty big. Neither of them could finish their burgers and got them to go. read more

If you recently got out of prison or your diet consists of dog food and shoelaces, you're going to love this place!!! Do you have a normal pallet? I recommend skipping Emeril's table and just fasting until you get home. The food is not good here, but there are some positive things to point out about this restaurant. First of all, this is a restaurant at an airport. So I didn't expect a whole lot. But the name of the restaurant is Emeril's table. Emeril Lagasse. If you didn't know, Emeril Lagasse is the most famous chef in New Orleans. But this food doesn't taste like it came from Emeril. So in New Orleans, we had some of the best food I've ever had. I had frog legs. I had barbecue shrimp from Paschal's. So anyways, this place was a let down. Back to the food real quick: Gumbo- Order if starving. Decent flavor and very filling. Cheeseburger- Order if they are out of gumbo, you don't like gumbo or you miss those hamburgers from high school that they served in the cafeteria. Banana pudding- Ordered but could eat it. It did not look appetizing. If it was my job to talk you into it, here's a few highlights hence the three stars: French Fries: these are the oversized flat potatoes and they are served hot like they just got out of the fryer. He's going to use a bit more salt. I was able to use half a couch a bottle and eat about nine of these suckers. The technology is cool. You can order from your phone and the service was pretty fast. Roll the dice if you're starving. read more

I was prepared for small portion airport fare but this was a very nice surprise! My pasta jambalaya was fantastic. The seafood platter was a huge mound of fried shrimp and catfish with some tasty steak fries! The coleslaw Was so good I asked for extra!! Service was quick and organized. I'll definitely revisit this restaurant each time I'm here. read more

Best airport food I have had so far. When you are traveling through an airport most restaurants are mediocre at best. Emeril's is a bright light and gave me a place to eat and drink while waiting on a delayed flight. Inside the restaurant, there is a giant bar. More on that later. Tables are tightly packed and you can scan a QR code to get to the menu. YOu can actually order on your phone but we had a very sweet server who took our order. I opted for the shrimp po-boy, fries, and a double bourbon. The bourbon was delicious but expensive. The po-boy was solid and also expensive. I guess it's all relative when you consider you're in an airport. After dinner, our flight was still delayed so we sat at the bar and drank more bourbon. This was a great decision for everything but my pocketbook. If you are waiting for a flight, I strongly recommend you enjoy this bar. There is lots of space, very few randos, and the drinks are plentiful. Don't expect the fanciness of Emeril's flagship restaurant in the Warehouse District. Do expect the best restaurant cuisine ever. read more

I stopped by to have a drink after my flight was delayed. I didn't order food, but everything I saw come out looked tasty. Be sure to check out other reviews to see how their dishes fare. I've attached a couple of screenshots of the menu. Online ordering was more of a hassle than anything because you still had to wait on the bartender to pay, which is super inconvenient at a crowded airport bar. I experienced the same at Mondo's (I had a lot of delays), so I don't know that it was specific to Emeril's. read more

So, when in Rome..aka.. when at the airport, you eat at the airport. Emeril's Table opened up in 2019 and is one of celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse', who got his start in New Orleans and now has restaurants around the country. The restaurant has a large bar and open kitchen with a view of its pizza oven at the end of concourse B at the new Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport terminal. Let's do this! My partner ordered the shrimp and grits and I ordered the red beans and rice. Shrimp and Grits The shrimp & grits were mediocre and I was not impressed with the lack of shrimp in this. However, there was an ample of sausage, which was over cooked. Finished grits should be thick, smooth, and have a mild flavor. These grits were still gritty, which as a good indicator that they needed more milk. Red Beans & Rice This simple dish was over salted. The andouille sausage flavor was missing from this dish. This means that the beans were not simmered with the andouille sausage and was added at the end. I'm not sure how not simmering the sausage with the beans is to be in line with Louisiana cooking. In general, this was dining experience was a complete miss on all levels. read more

It's in the New Orleans Airport. Nice bar and food is a step up from airport food. The Gumbo has good flavor but watery. The fried green tomatoes are very good the shrimp is just shrimp. No spice. All in all it's good for a airport after a busy day. Didn't have time to eat at a local place. Quick in and out!!!! read more

This was a huge disappointment. We ordered the fried green tomato's and a seafood platter. The tomatoes were not crispy and had little to no flavor. The seafood platter was bland and they didn't have cocktail sauce. The fried shrimp were good but that was it. No waiter service, you order on an app so forget refills or any kind of attention but don't forget to tip! We would try a restaurant of Emerils that wasn't in the airport but I'm surprised he'd put his name on this place. read more

Truly the worst service of any airport restaurant. It's been horrible for years. Completely an issue with ineffective management. Sat at the bar waiting to order coffee and breakfast for 26 minutes. Didn't see the bartender take one order during this time. She just stood around. Had to leave to catch my flight. Awful, as always. Very happy to no longer have to call this airport and its poor service my home airport. read more

Outstanding Long Island Iced Tea. Flying out of New Orleans and at the very end of terminal B is this great little bar near gates B10-B15. The bar tender, Lawanda, was just delightful and she poured a Long Island that would win awards. If you're at New Orleans International this is the bar to go to. Great service. Better drinks. Conveniently in ear shot of many of the gates. read more

The service was nonexistent. I sat at the bar for a good 15 minutes waiting for someone to help me. I tried to use the qr code but it didn't work. Once I finally could make eye contact with a bartender to let them know I was running into an error, three of them literally turned away from me. It was one of rudest things I've ever experienced. Feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable is an under statement. read more

I specifically came here because of the name Emeril. A few things I was disappointed with was the mobile ordering, which allowed no customization whatsoever. The burgers only came well done and there was no way to make it medium and even buy asking they said no. We ordered wings which were very good and a fried green tomato appetizer that was decent the shrimp. Poboy was pretty good but nothing exceptional. The burger was good not great and the jambalaya look like it was made with kids, macaroni and cheese twists. The food was OK but for them to have Emeril's name, I expected a little something jazzier and better. There were a few other really good looking restaurants at Louis Armstrong airport, and I would probably choose one of those next time and not come back. read more

My table ordered shrimp and grits as mains versus appetizers, and it's plenty enough for an individual meal. There is tons of sauce and juice bringing lots of flavor to the dish and pulling it all together. The sausage was fantastic, so we're the grits. The shrimp were good. We also ordered a few glasses of wine. Some of the glasses were definitely shorted compared to others and for the ounces purchased. It was a little less busy than the other restaurants around this gate, so it worked out well. The service was quick and friendly. I wish the menu was slightly bigger, but I recommend this place and was very happy with the food! read more

Not bad, but not what you see Emeril making on TV Crawfish etouffe was ok, but prob mass produced because there's no other way to keep up with the demand at the airport. The fried catfish fingers were excellent, crispy cornmeal coating, hot and super tender. The slaw was ok but the tartar sauce was definitely blah, more like just mayo, not fresh/house made (and not traditional tartar with herbs etc) so pros and cons with everything. You had to order thru the QR code but the server came by a couple times to check in so that was great. Quick service, overall pretty good for the airport. read more

We had a long day (almost 8 hours) at the airport due to some mechanical issues with our plane and needed to eat dinner so this restaurant was right across from our gate. So glad that we ate here! I was not expecting much from airport restaurant food since it is always way overpriced but we got the fried chicken po boy sandwiches and they are HUGE! Had to cut the fried chicken up to be able to take a bite and the steak fries were plenty and very tasty. The price was better than typical airport restaurant pricing at 18.50/sandwich. We also ordered wine but of course that was typical airport restaurant "over"pricing. Service was great as well. read more

Leaving New Orleans and want to get that those last bites of the local flavor in? Here you go!! I've always been a fan of Emeril. While this may not be the finest way to enjoy his food, it was pretty good! Not a lot of good food options in this terminal and to be honest, I didn't look at reviews before picking this place. I see the 2 and 3 star that were recent, but our experience was a solid 4. We were seated quickly and it was crowded. Due to COVID, they were short staff, but that didn't impact our visit. The service was fast, they were happy to have us and made us glad we were there! The menu was pretty simple (a few items for breakfast, starters, Po-boys, Pizza and Plates). I ordered the Catfish Po-boy, Ultra (in a can) and my GF had the shrimp Po-boy with Blue Moon. I'm not a fan of canned beer these days as I taste the aluminum as I drink from it (Guess my taste buds from my high school days grew up.). It was really cold and that made up for it. Besides, the food was out quickly and got my taste buds happy again. Appearance of the food was hidden in a container, but opening it, the colors and aroma kicked the mouth into drooling! A fry was being consumed quickly! The catfish was perfectly seasoned, fresh tasting with that wonderful full catfish flavor! It may not have been BAM! or kicked up a notch, but it was really, really great tasting catfish. The roll was great mix of springiness and flavor. Not bland, not dried out and not crumbly. The sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and beautiful pickle slices all complimented that amazing fish. Honestly, it was one of the better ones I had. The fries were good, nothing special, but none survived. My GF loved her Shrimp Po-boy as well. The price was about right for a terminal and again, we loved the food and service. Thank you Emeril! read more

Lotsa hate for Emeril's table where I have nothing but love to share with y'all. I had a nice vacation in New Orleans, saw dem gators, went to Cafe du Monde for a Beignet and dined at Emeril's (We saw him in the kitchen!) After the good times ended, I hailed an Uber and headed back to the airport. Once I'm pass thru all the check points and settle in, I'm hungry! I look at some of the restaurants and like a lighthouse guiding ships to port, I see Emeril's table. Now it's about 11am, I don't want anything too heavy but I see Shrimp & Grits. Grits? Breakfast-y for sure! Now mind you, we're in an airport. The tables are close together, there's luggage the waitstaff has to navigate, it's a dining clustermuck. The bright side, Emeril. The man can make some grits! My shrimp & grits were a brunchin', munchin' grit lovin' bowl of dreams. It had a cheff'd up preparation, the shrimp was cooked perfectly and the grits were not instant! Hey, Emeril don't play when it comes to grits. If you're in the New Orleans airport and want a good meal, try Emeril's table. read more

Emeril has a great reputation for high quality food and standards. So when I saw this restaurant in the airport I had high expectations. The decor seemed up to par, but as I read the reviews I was very skeptical about the food I would receive. However, with a long wait in the airport and a late arrival to my home airport I took a chance. I initially wanted a salad. Unfortunately there is only 1 salad option and it had horrible reviews. So I instead decided on the burger.. also horrible reviews. I noticed the pizza oven, and figure pizza is hard to mess up, especially in a wood fire oven, right? Wrong. The pizza was served in a to go box since we were about to board the plane, and I appreciated that it came out quickly although the server said the kitchen had been backed up - but those are the only positives. Even hot, the cheese was so thick I could barely separate the pieces and it was horrible to chew. Despite being cooked in such a hot oven, the crust was soft, extremely undercooked. It was horrible. Definitely not the best pizza I've had. I ate about half of it because I was so hungry but I didn't enjoy it at all. Can't say this is something I would expect from someone with a reputation like Emeril, especially based on the reviews that others have left. If I'm ever in Louis Armstrong again I'd probably try something else. read more
