Chris Y.

The lower rating is due to the fact that their sushi and overall selection of food was minimal/subpar compared to that of other comparable buffets I've been to. I did enjoy the things I ate such as the crawfish, mussels, blue crabs, and other seafood items. I enjoyed their hibachi as well. They give you a selection from sweet, teriyaki, and spicy sauce for your hibachi. Additionally, the price was pretty solid as it was only $20.99 a person for dinner on the weekend. The service is decent, and the restaurant can get a little crowded. Overall, if you don't care for sushi or want a huge variety, this could be worth a visit because of the price.

Harbor Seafood & Oyster Bar - Harbor potatoes

Harbor Seafood & Oyster Bar

I have visited before when I used to leave in New Orleans, so I was familiar with their food but it…read morehas been over20 years ago. I was arriving from Houston on a short trip and had been on the road for several hours and I decided to stop on my way in. It wasn't very crowded so parking was no problem. I was immediately seated and given a menu. I decided on fried catfish which cam with a small corn on the cob, some French bread and additionally coleslaw and potato salad. I had a Moscow mule type drink while I waited. My meal came out nice and hot and I immediately knew I couldn't eat all of this. The fish was crispy and the cold slaw was creamy . The service was excellent and my server even recommended a few dishes before I ordered but I had made up my mind before I sat down. Definitely a place for good seafood and there is a seafood market next door.

We were recommended to try Harbor seafood & oyster bar for oysters and softshell crabs, so I made…read morereservations for a party of 4, and they were ready with plenty of seats when we arrived. Pros: the food was fantastic! Softshell crabs were a bit on the small side, but it's understandably the end of the season. We loved that the batter was good so you could really appreciate them without the batter being overpowering. Their oyster sampler and chargrilled oysters were fantastic. The "crawfish" (large boiled shrimp instead because it's off season) bloody Mary was fantastic. Food came out quickly and portions were awesome. Cons: service needed work (yes, I brought it up while I was there, and the manager seemed very, very confused). Our waitress was very sweet, and checked on us often, but messed up our order several times. She accidentally duplicated one order, but different wait staff (& the young manager? who even splashed soup on one of our diners) brought the food to the table. I mentioned the error the moment they placed the food down. Despite explaining the error, the manager seemed super confused, and asked a couple of times what was wrong, before going to ask the waitress in front of us and pointing at the order paper. She seemed stressed, so we told her we'd keep the incorrect order (seafood platter instead of softshell platter) to not inconvenience her, but mentioned that we'd at least like them to correct one of the sides we really wanted to try (we'd ordered side salad & hush puppies, they gave us potato salad & harbor potatoes). I asked the manager if he could swap the incorrect side for the correct side. He seemed out of it and very confused and asked if we wanted him to take the whole order away, I said no, we just wanted the hush puppies side we originally ordered. He walked away, then came back and asked if we wanted a side of hush puppies and we said yes? (Because we had ordered a meal with hush puppies as our side). He said he'd bring us a side of hush puppies. Waitress comes over and apologizes and says the confusion was that she wrote "hp" for harbor potatoes AND hush puppies (doesn't explain how she mixed up a softshell crab platter with a seafood platter and a salad with ranch for potato salad). When I got the check, she charged us for the incorrect order AND added a side of hush puppies. I didn't ask them to correct the entire incorrect meal, but I asked why they charged us extra for the side they got wrong. The waitress said it's because we kept the incorrect side (I had asked the manager to swap them out, he didn't). She says she'll ask him about it, and I hear them arguing loudly in the back. She comes out upset and says he won't remove it, so she guesses she'll just have to pay for them herself. Just disappointed in how management handled a common food industry error and how they treated the waitress. I'm not sure if anything else was going on that night, but I'm happy to chat with more senior management since I couldn't find an email on their website.

Stingray's Restaurant & Bar - New Orleans Red Beans and Rice with Smoke Sausage

Five Stars. No notes. No regrets. Elastic waistband optional…read more From the moment you walk into StingRays, you don't feel like a customer -- you feel like you accidentally wandered into a place where people actually want you there. That's rare. That's sacred. That's New Orleans doing what New Orleans does best. Now let's talk about the menu. Not a menu. The menu. This thing has options for its options. You don't read it -- you negotiate with it. You make eye contact. You ask it questions about your life choices. So naturally, I start with a cup of gumbo. Listen... I've eaten gumbo all over New Orleans. I've had "legendary" gumbo. I've had "my grandma would slap you if you didn't like this" gumbo. This? By far the best gumbo in New Orleans. Balanced. Rich. Deep. The kind of gumbo that makes you pause mid-spoon and reassess past relationships. Then the chargrilled oysters showed up and New Orleans... we need to talk. This was hands-down the least messy, most flavorful, most dialed-in oyster experience I've had in the city. Sure, there are places that have put their stamp on being "the best in NOLA." Guess what, NOLA -- you've got competition. And I'm not talking "oh look, a new place opened, hope they make it." I'm talking about a business that's been around since 1997, survived a tech bubble, a hurricane (or three), a pandemic, inflation -- and is still turning out food and service like this. That's not luck. That's standards. Petty side note (but important): They serve Coca-Cola products. Not that over-sugared flat soda nonsense. Details matter. Now comes the main event: Zydeco Fish. Let me say this slowly so it sinks in properly: A fresh fillet of fish, butterflied, stuffed with crab meat dressing, deep fried (because joy), topped with a spicy shrimp cream sauce that could probably solve international conflicts. This dish doesn't just show up -- it arrives. Confident. Well-dressed. Knows it's good. Add a side of potato salad, which quietly steals the show like, "Oh, you thought I was just a side? That's adorable." Still got room? Try the key lime pie if you're a fan. And yes, I'm over-opinionated, so here's my take: Call your Aunt Regina. Tell her she can retire her recipe. Save her the stress of the next family reunion. Then go to StingRays, eat the pie, shake your head in disbelief that you ever considered eating elsewhere, and apologize to your friends and family for not bringing them sooner. Jamie was my server -- sweet like iced tea, patient with all my questions, and didn't oversell a thing. Just a calm, confident, "This is what we do." And they do it well. And here's the real kicker -- location. Right by the airport. Which means: * You don't have to gamble your flight time * You don't have to explain to your Uber driver why food matters more than punctuality * You can land, eat like royalty, and still make your gate without panic-sweating StingRays is comfort food without shortcuts, hospitality without fake smiles, and flavor without apology. If you're flying into or out of New Orleans and you skip this place, that's on you. Don't blame the city. Don't blame the plane. Blame your poor decision-making. Five stars all the way. I'd eat here again before my luggage even hits the carousel.

Ordered crawfish baker and fried crab cakes for lunch. They looked completely different from my…read moreprevious experiences. The sauce for both dishes were darker, broken/grainy, and had a very strong cheesy smell. Like Parmesan. I'm not sure what went wrong. I tried to eat them but couldn't finish. I woke up in the middle of the night with a bad stomach ache as well. I won't be returning. The portions seemed very small compared to what they normally are.
