    As a born and raised for decades NY-er and an Italian I always thought of myself as a seafood expert (tsk, such a fool I was..). Now we live on Jackson Square in the Quarter. Lesson one for NOLA newbies: eat gumbo! It's a rite of passage. Ric brought home two containers of this heavenly stuff, made at Johnny's. I ate three plates without stopping. We have become regular customers. Their delicious crabs done in a spicy boil are beyond description. I also love the catfish, cooked to order...with hush puppies, a hunk of crusty bread.. and fries cuddled up on the plate. The staff is super friendly, John's a sweetheart.. and everyone on staff treated us like old buds. Five stars all around!

    Best place on the West Bank to get fresh crawfish. Make sure you reserve a sack because they will sell out.

You'd think the staff might still be learning the ropes, but our server was incredible. There wasn't a single moment we needed anything and had to wait. She checked on us multiple times, and we were only there for about 30 minutes. The food came out really fast. The crawfish hit the table in about 3 minutes, and the catfish platter followed about 10 minutes later. Everything was piping hot. The crawfish has a little spice, just enough to taste it but not overpowering. Honestly, if they put any less spice in it, it wouldn't have any at all. I saw some reviews saying it's way too spicy, but those people obviously haven't had truly spicy crawfish. The fries were amazing honestly like homemade Popeyes-style fries. The catfish was fresh and flavorful. I would have liked it fried a little harder, but the menu says it's lightly battered, so it was exactly as advertised. They also had us in and out quickly without ever feeling rushed, which we really appreciated. This is definitely a great spot for families because there's something for everyone. The prices cant be beat! This was our first time trying Lefort's, and we will absolutely be back.

    This weekend I went in to buy live crawfish and asked a couple of questions about size, price etc…read moreas any person would. I was getting tripped up on where they came from because I'm just a girl who loves crawfish and I do boil them myself but this just started recently.. So I'm not knowledgeable of how the sizes differ based on where they come from or how dirty or clean they are because to me it doesn't matter but to them it's what they advertise so in the middle of me trying to grasp this concept of the big ones come from the river and the smaller ones come from the pond or where ever they come from I still don't know because I sensed I was bothering her but maybe the lady was getting a little frustrated going back and forth with me on the wording and trying to explain to me while showing me " with a finger point " or a bin of mixed boiled crawfish saying " the ponds are in the front " but literally they were all mixed.. size were all over. I decided on getting the " rivers " as they call them, for me they were the bigger ones.. lol They all eat mud and they'll all be boiled to death and eaten. For one sack of 33 pound for $2.89 my total was $95 and some change, $104 after tax. I asked if they took tap and the lady said yes and than my total was $108 I asked why it went from 95 to 108 she explained to me that the total was $104 and it was taxes but I can see on the register " 104 " and I said no with taxes its 104, she said they charge credit card fees I said that's illegal, she said, " no it's not everybody does it " I said, " that's don't mean it's legal " she pointed at this white paper on the window that said nothing about credit card fees but said something about the right to give discounts for cash paying customers, and she called a manager.. Mind you I wasn't disrespectful just bothered my total went from 104 to 108 with no sign or warning they charge credit card fees until she mentioned it. But when she said they charge credit card fees I looked for an ATM which they didn't have one. So the manager comes over asks what's the issue I said it's illegal to charge credit card fees he said no it's not the company charges them I said what does that have to do with me.. He said if it's a problem I can leave, so I thanked them and I walked out, not saying another word. As I'm walking out he yells something ignorant and told me don't come back. As if I would have come back to a place that don't value their customers, understand that it's free to ask questions and free to be kind to customers, A business that values their customers would have simply said, "we do have the right to charge you up to 4% ( that's the legal limit on credit card fees " but of course he was just as ignorant as I was at the moment .. or he could have said, do you want the crawfish or not? " I didn't mind paying, I probably would have ended up paying the $4 but it's something about spending my money with people who take advantage of consumers just because they can and sometimes I have time to point out that simply " just because everybody does it doesn't make it right " pray on the ignorant and be mad at the people who know you're doing something you have no business doing is wild! I do know it's legal for businesses to charge credit card fees as long as it's presented to the customer and it's a 4% cap on fees because that's what the people who they have their card machine charge them so we both wrong but I wrote this review to shine the light on the fact they don't care about who buys from them, how you feel about them or how hard you work for your money they gone do business regardless and a lot of times people choose to stay away from businesses who don't value their customers. It's something about middle class white folk that act like they have a problem with being questioned and giving a respectful answer and realizing that everybody is not out to prove them as ignorant or less than, but prove to be just that. I spend $190 at the Westwego seafood at capt. Johnathan's lot on great size crawfish at $2.69 a pound and I paid their credit card fee because they didn't mind answering questions because not everyone knows what you know about the product you sell. The lady was patient with me, even found me something to put my crawfish in so they didn't dirty my car.. it's not about what you do it's about how you do it. " it's just $4 " it's my $4 until I choose that I want something bad enough to trade the $4 for a product or service and credit card fees for a business who don't care about me is not a fair trade. I wasn't greeted when I walked in but I always speak and ask the person how their doing, she answered and didn't dismiss the greeting which is why they get 3 stars, and they didn't seem to be like that when I called over the phone earlier that morning, the man I talked to over the phone gave me the address and pricing and shared they had two kinds and two prices. But in person experience was different.

After I came home and started washing I noticed a good amount were dead ones. I picked about over 8lbs of dead ones so I decided to stop and just boil it because it's over half the sack that were dead. Definitely not coming back ever even if it's the last seafood store on the entire westbank.

Very limited seating; there's a wait on more popular nights. Servers are friendly and efficient, if you can get a table. Crawfish eat in was $7.25/lb when we visited the first time in late March. I ordered 3# and husband had a catfish plate. Great flavor on the crawfish and catfish nicely seasoned. Fountain sodas are $3. Next visit was shortly after, to go only from their busy, busy take-out counter opposite the seating area. Lots of choices, from stuffed artichokes to potato salad, stuffed eggs (deviled eggs) and bread pudding. Just needed 3# of crawfish to wash away the day at work. Not disappointed. In and out in under 10 min. Last visit this week, unable to get a table, so got it to go: 3# crawfish (now $4.75/lb take and $6.25/lb eat in), stuffed eggs (good, regular flavor, nothing fancy - 2/$2.75), corn (3/$3.75 sweet, sweet flavor), bread pudding with rum sauce (also available w/white chocolate sauce) which we reheated and ate the next day, and a shrimp poboy ($14.25), dressed, that took several minutes to come out of the kitchen. TONS of shrimp on it. Young lady delivering sandwich apologized for the wait. $41.92 w/tax before tip.

I look at the menu.. $6.25/lb for boiled crawfish.. ehhh okay fine I got FIVE POUNDS and a few sides for me and my mom. I get home we start enjoying... one dead crawfish. Okay... normal. We continue and my mom mentions how many dead crawfish she had gotten by this point, she said she couldn't eat anymore, I though she was exaggerating, I until i had gotten about 8 dead ones myself. I stop eating and comb through the entire bag. If I had to guess I would say about 60% of the bag were dead, maybe more. I felt SICK. Idk what's going on but prices are too high to be throwing more than half of my food in the trash.
