My husband and I tried this place a while ago when we first moved back here, and while the food was okay, the service was absolutely horrible! My husband ordered boiled shrimp, so he asked for a lemon. He was told flatly, no. The server proceeded to tell him that there was a dollar upcharge for a lemon. Mind you, my husband would not have minded paying the upcharge, however, anyone who ordered tea to drink got one for free! Horrible customer service, even before COVID and we still have not returned. read more

We came on a Saturday around 1:30pm. There was a long line waiting to be seated. We were second in line so decided to wait. We could see there were plenty of empty tables open, but needed to be cleaned. We were in line for about 25 minutes before we were finally seated. Once at our table, the waitress took our drink order, which we never got. While waiting for our drinks, the rest of those waiting in line were seated and got their drinks before us. That's when whe decided to leave. We had already waited 35 plus minutes and didn't even get our drinks. We didn't want to lose our appetite while waiting even longer. read more

They have the best boiled crawfish. Always good flavor and spicy. My husband loved the char grilled snow crab. It came with chargrilled corn and boiled potatoes. read more

Great for seafood and lots of it! My shrimp PB was good but the bread had seen better days.

we had a party 7 all hungry food came fast but didnt look good.Fried shrimp , fried crab cakes Fries, Fried crab meat all very Dark in color which signified that the grease was old or burnt. it all had a burnt grease taste we asked to speak with owner who did not allow us our money back for food that we did not eat and did not interact well with customers . I paid for my plate but gracefully left it with the owner not good with customer service DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE SORRY GO ELSEWHERE TO GET GOOD SERVICE AND FOOD WORTH YOUR MONEY. read more

Not That Good This is a place in my neighborhood for years. I see plenty vehicles here when they are opened. I decided to give them a try after not coming back for many years and now I know why. My review is based on the stuffed shrimp plate. My sides were a side salad plain as it could be, lettuce and tomato, blue cheese dressing, it was below average. The Cajun batter fried boiled potatoes were decent, but nothing to brag about. The main course stuffed shrimp where breaded in plain bread crumbs and over fried. The crab dressing was mostly bread with little flavor. The only thing that I ordered extra was the crab Maria sauce which was tasty. Disappointed still. read more

Warm & cozy hole-in-the-wall-type atmosphere to enjoy some fabulous seafood in!!! Being from New Orleans, but not being able to go back on a regular basis, this is the place I crave & is worth the trip out of the quarter to all those tourists out there! If you're looking for properly seasoned & super-fresh New Orleans boiled seafood - Kenner Seafood is the place for you! My favorite meal to order is a bowl of the crab & corn chowder {Mmm... my mouth's watering just thinking about this} along with a half {or whole or two!} pound of the fresh boiled seafood, most likely the shrimp... It's always a fun place to go with all of my in-town family & everyone has a favorite. My uncle always orders at least two bowls of the oyster Rockefeller soup (and usually a gallon more to take back to his home up north), my grandmama never passes up a great po' boy & my parents - I'm always nibbling on their huge shared seafood platter :-) You will NOT be disappointed with Kenner seafood if you're looking for an authentic home style meal, certifiably awesome, right outside the Big Easy! Just go there & you can thank me later... read more

Fabulous food. Best grilled Nacho oysters. Yes grilled Nacho oysters. Never tasted anything so delicious. Another must try fried bell peppers unbelievably out of this world I'd give this restaurant an 10 on a scale 1-5 Ev read more

This place I accidentally came across while shopping at the Sams right off Loyola. I saw a sign with crawfish being 1 99 so I immediately pulled up to the establishment. Unfortunately it wasn't 1 99. But it was 2 75 so I couldn't pass that up. The crawfish was ok. Maybe a tad bit salty. Overall it was still delicious. The place had take out orders and also a dine in part. It was really packed. Pretty small as well but yet spacious. read more

Food is delicious! We started our Louisiana trip here and came right back at the end of it. Wonderful, friendly service. Cute ambiance. Cassandra is a wonderful waitress! read more

It is as local to Kenner as most corner stores are in New Orleans. The atmosphere is "FAMILY", they really try to make you feel like family and it seems like most of the people are from the Kenner area (because of the line). The portions are for people who like to eat and not just take pictures to post. I am a Kenner local, and they are one of my go to restaurants when I have out of town guests. Great food and good people! read more

I've given this place opportunity after opportunity to only be disappointed continuously. I'm a true crawfish lover and the idea that the employees look you in the face and lie about the temperature of their crawfish is disgusting. There's a big difference in room temperature and cold... since the pandemic I'm not sticking my hand in a bag or face in the bag... after the worker tells me they are room temperature... felt chilled in the freezer when I arrived home only three minutes away. Lesson learned... I'll drive to Jefferson highway and get great customer service and crawfish that's going to be warm when I get to Kenner. Poor service and true dishonesty ! read more

I came here to pick up some crawfish because my grandpa said it was the best place in town. All I got was 2lbs to go but the staff was very unfriendly, honestly I wouldn't be back to sit an eat after this experience and I'll find somewhere else to get fresh crawfish from. Customer service is a big part of the deal these days. Feeling rushed and not being attended to is not something I like to experience. While the crawfish was good, it wasn't anythign different than what I've had elsewhere. read more

Driven by this place several times and finally stopped in for lunch today with fiancé. We were glad we did! Everything was super tasty and the prices are really reasonable. We sat at the bar because there was a wait, and the bartender provided terrific, friendly service. They also have a seafood market in front of you want to buy and go. For our meal, we started with a small order of hush puppies and the bell pepper rings. Both were really good! I ordered the chicken fried steak poboy with a small baked macaroni. It was just delicious! I don't think I've ever had a chicken fried steak so tender before. The macaroni was pretty decent too. My fiancé ordered the shrimp poboy with a side of rice and gravy, which were both really good too. We were both just quite impressed and the bill was just over $30 for all of that food plus two small salads. Tough to beat that. read more

I loved this place! The servers were wonderful and nice. Felt welcome inside and got some recommendations for stuff to do in New Orleans while I'm in town. read more

Horrible Horrible .. just Horrible. We picked up our to go order a shrimp and a roast beef poboy with 2 sides mac n cheese and potato salad. THE WORST food EVER! If you can call it that. To start my shrimp were not fully peeled, fully cooked or coated. Then places on a stale piece of bread passed off as french bread. One bite in had to spit the rest out. The potato salad taste of a gritty texture much like sand. Smelled a bit off as well. Was probably old. The mac n cheese was flavorless with a subpar pass for cheese on top. I'm not expecting a 5star experience but for $24 I'd expect more effort. There are a million of places to get better good. Please do not fall for these ratings. Place is HORRIBLE! read more

Kenner Seafood - Shrimp poboy - Seafood Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

Great food at excellent prices. You get large portions of well-seasoned seafood here. The boiled seafood is excellent and if you're like me and like it hot, they will drop it back in the boil pot to reheat it for you if it has been sitting for a little while. If you go on a Friday get there early or be prepared to wait. The line can be long and the seating in the waiting area is limited. The owner is there working hard and the wait staff is good but not exceptional. If you want good fried, boiled, or blackend seafood served in a family-friendly atmosphere you need to check out Kenner Seafood. read more

Awesome find just minutes from the airport. Our flight was canceled but our night was made much better by Ms. Trudy and the staff at Kenner Seafood. read more

If you're looking for a great down-to-earth, hole-in-the-wall seafood place that's decently priced and located away from the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter but just close enough to New Orleans, this is the spot to try out. Dining room is a bit small with a max occupancy of 50-60 guests with available counter service at the bar. Keeping that in mind, don't be surprised to wait anywhere between 25 to 35 minutes to be seated but according to the locals/regulars who frequent this place, it will be worth it. I ordered the catfish & shrimp combo cooked blackened (spicy) which comes with two sides (parsley potatoes and corn on the cob) and bread. The food came out prepared very nicely and as soon as I consumed the goodies, wow that sure hit the spot! There was a right amount of kick put in the seafood and even in the corn on the cob (who can't resist buttered spiciness?). All for $13.99 plus $1 fountain soda served in an extra large glass... that's certainly one of the best seafood value meals I've had in a long time :) Overall this place is certainly top-shelf with very friendly staff, terrific seafood, great pricing and the nicest locals to interact with... what really more can you ask? I will definitely be coming back here next time I return to NoLA (maybe for Mardi Gras, who knows?) ;) read more

I've been to Kenner Seafood a few times- and was surprised I had not previously reviewed it. There are some misses with the food here- namely that it has barely if any seasoning in it. However overall, it is a solid choice and an enjoyable meal. This most recent visit, my husband and I started with the jalapeño hush puppies (delicious) and the fried pickles (pretty good). We each got a side salad, and I got the house made dressing, but didn't love it. It had a bit of an odd taste to it. For our meals, he got a 9-inch fried chicken po boy with Swiss cheese and brown gravy. It was good- once we added a hefty dose of salt and pepper to the chicken. Their gravy is fantastic. I got the half fried chicken plate, with Mac and cheese and rice/gravy. The Mac and cheese and rice were good- again needing a good bit of salt and pepper. The chicken was delicious- perfectly fried with a really nice coating. However, it was the tiniest chicken pieces I ever seen! The drumstick looked more like a drumette. But it definitely tastes good. read more

My sister flew in from Germany and wanted some boiled crawfish .I called on Monday and the guy that answered the phone informed me that they were boiling them and would be ready in 30 minutes.Great so we waited the 30 minutes and drove there , waited to be seated and as we were ordering the waitress informed us that it would be an HOUR till the boiled crawfish would be ready. We left there disappointed but did manage to find a new place to do business that did have boiled crawfish . read more

I ordered to go a redfish & shrimp plate with sides. Was so excited to eat it because this place was recommended to me. The food was just okay to me. It didn't have a lot of seasoning/flavor so I was a little disappointed. It was horrible but just not a place I would personally eat at again. read more

Come here and get elbow deep in shrimp, crawfish, and ocassionally blue crabs for an affordable price! A must try here are the traditional chargrilled oysters and parsley potatoes on the side. There is usually always a slight wait but its worth it. Plus, you can have beer while you wait! read more

Kenner Seafood - Half dozen extra large blue crab. Horrible photographer, they look larger in person. So meaty and worth it!! - Seafood Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. The customer service is lacking. They are extremely unprofessional and unsanitary. I waited an hour and a half for a to go order which they got wrong. The entire time the staff is handling money, eating and touching their face, rubbing their nose and then serving the food! No one ever stepped away to wash their hands! That should have been the first red flag... Back to my order... I ordered 3 dozen char oysters... they gave me 2 boxes with 2 half dozens which I noticed when I got home..my mozzarella sticks were drenched in red sauce.. they could have put that in a separate container.. not sure what that was about.. and they over charged me for 2 pounds of crawfish... $18! What?! whatever I called they said they would fix it. I go back today to get my other oysters and remake of moz sticks as well as a few other things I ordered to go today... Well go figure they only gave me 1 dozen, forgot my mozzarella sticks and proceeded to embarrass me Infront of the entire staff by telling me I only paid for 2. I took my food and left as I listen to them call me a liar and talk poorly of me as I'm waking out. I spent over $100 and tipped 20% on a to go order! Ridiculous that I would need to "lie" about a dozen oysters. I'll never go back. read more

Went last night with out of town guests. There was 6 of us and the food came out in pieces and was cold. I had the stuffed shrimp which were rubbery and over cooked or old. One of us ordered a salad as the side which didn't come out when asked about it the waitress said the kitchen already put away the salad but did ask if he wanted something else. This place clearly cannot handle 6 or more at a time! read more

I'd give no stars if it would accept the review. We waited an hour to get in and 2 hours for our food. The food was tasteless and we never got the crawfish we ordered. Our waitress was awful. We will never go back to this place. read more

One of our favorite places to eat and take the family. Its a little pricey but its Louisiana. And its seafood. And its good seafood! So once every now and then its okay to go there and spoil ourselves with some hot boiled shrimp and boiled crawfish! Oh and there mac n cheese is one of my favorites too!!! So good! Just enough cheese! Yum! My stomach is rumbling right now just thinking about it Judith S. McDonald read more

Fabulous casual Cajun restaurant at a very reasonable price. My wife and I dropped in here for dinner. I had the chicken and sausage combo and she had charbroiled oysters. Both were very good. I also had bread pudding with rum sauce. It was excellent. Very sweet topping on hot bread pudding. The staff was also very nice. This place is nothing fancy. It is a restaurant associated with a seafood market. You get good and fresh food at a very reasonable price because of this. We will be back. read more

Hubby and I live in Atlanta and first found this place on "Around Me" on a visit to see family in New Orleans a number of years back. We have since eaten in and around New Orleans at two Deanie's locations and Zydecos, but we keep coming back to Kenner Seafood, because there is simply none better. We tell EVERYONE about it! The place is so good, they're usually busy, so call ahead to reserve a table. It is all about the FOOD at this very "local" Mom & Pop, neighborhood style establishment. The service is good, and you will be comfortable, dressed casually in a t-shirt and jeans. Try the blooming crawfish (a fantastic, HUGE blooming onion with crawfish nuggets) or the okra. We've really enjoyed both appetizers. Husband and I usually share the deluxe seafood platter. It is more than PLENTY for two good appetites. Every time, we find the seafood is of the utmost freshness, only lightly breaded & cooked to juicy, succulent perfection. Wonderful stuffed crab!!! The jalapeño hush puppies are also divine. We also LOVE the beautiful bread pudding. Crawfish is beautiful, seasoned to spicy/yummy perfection. If you are anywhere near New Orleans airport, you MUST make a trip to Kenner Seafood. It is located just off I-10 on Loyola. We will definitely be back! read more

Seafood is decent. Every now and then the crawfish is salty. The marinated crab salad is delicious and the oowee good cake is delicious.

Service was a bit slow. Food was okay. I was going for 15 pounds of Crawfish, however they ran out after I ate 2 pounds. Shrimp were okay, needed a little more seasoning and crabs were good. Ok good and service if first time eating in New Orleans. As I watched, food sits too long on counter before being brought to table. Watched server pick food off another plate with her bare hands that was waiting to be delivered to a table and put it on another plate then brought it to a table with children. Couldn't believe it. At least put gloves on, especially in the times we live in. read more

The bartender was awesome and very hospitable. The 3 lady's sitting next to us were also very cool. The char broiled oysters are a must try as well as the fried bell pepper and fried crab fingers!! I'll be back forsure read more

It was ok. The waitress was very nice. The shrimp was NOT deveined. We got salads: one with shrimp and the other with shrimp and crab. Cool spot on a Thursday night to grab a quick bite. I may go again to purchase from the market in the front. Overall not a bad experience. read more

Well I ordered a stuffed flounder and most of the fish was dry a closed to burn and the fish was small payed to much

All were made fresh and met everyone's expectations. This place is just one of the best neighborhood joints. The staff super friendly, food cooked great and all reasonable prices. We will be back read more

My favorite seafood spot when I am not uptown, and hanging near airport. Lunch or dinner is never a disappointment. Food is fresh, and the service is what you'd expect. A lengthy menu of delicious items. If you leave hungry, you did something terribly wrong. Old school video games to keep you occupied if there is a wait. Love it! read more

Local seafood place that were very accommodating to gluten free eating. Really nice to get charbroiled oysters without the breadcrumbs and get a great product. We ordered a spread of appetizers, huge shrimp, farm crawfish as it was a bit out of season which was nice they had it, and charbroiled oysters. The quantities were great. We had so much food in our sampling that we ended up not ordering an Entree. Great food and great service, highly recommended... support the local businesses, eat here you won't be disappointed ... read more
