I promise you I'm not on a seafood expedition but if you're in Louisiana, you're gonna wanna sit in for this one because this experience left my tastebuds on Cloud 9. Of course I'm no stranger to seafood but there's "seafood" and then there's "Cajun seafood" (which Louisiana is known for). Now I forgot to take a picture of the gumbo but it was appetizing and it was very satisfying to cross off the #1 thing to do on my culinary edition of my bucket list... which was to eat authentic Cajun seafood. Angela served us and gave us the play by play on the menu, she brought out our food in a timely manner. All of the staff should get an A+ for hospitality because the next time I come to the Big Easy... I'm bringing the squad. read more

We went as a large group. Food was great, good portions. Excellent service, not familiar with NOLA specialties. Server explained everything ! read more

We stopped for lunch on the way to the airport (so close). Nice seafood market and great restaurant bar. The service was awesome (Forgot her name, but she is #1024) and so was the food.And the place is really comfortable. We had Boiled crawfish (so good and only $3.99 a pound), a cup of Red Beans and Rice (It was Monday), Veal Cutlet Poboy and a Fried Shrimp Poboy. There were so many shrimp in the poboy, I couldn't believe it and perfectly breaded and fried. The Red Beans and sausage were really good. It helps to be a seafood market to get boiled Crawfish. Everything was delicious. I got this recommendation from my Termite guy, Larry and he was right on. If they were here, I'd eat there once a week. So good. read more

Used to love Kenner seafood. But went there the other night and they had a cockroach walking along the wall in the dining area on the ledge right by someone's table. A man actually had to get up and kill it. read more

It was alright.... The food was mediocre for the price, service was subpar. The portions were pretty good but the food was barely warm.... Wouldn't go back read more

Let's start with Mrs. Margie. She welcomes you with open arms and you just want to take her home! The service was amazing!! Now the food: The menu is A LOT! So I can't wait to come back and try something different each time. It's hard finding something that each of my little girls like, and but they are everything! The crab fingers were flavorful, the fried seafood was great! I'm still sitting here and can't stop eating. This is definitely our new family dining spot. So thankful for Yelp and the great reviews that lead us here, and thank you Kenner Seafood for a great dining experience!! read more

I went this past Tuesday for dinner. Was only in New Orleans for one night and I regret picking this place out for dinner. I wanted to order the corn and shrimp soup. They did not have anymore. Then I chose the stuffed crabs. Did not have any of those either. Then I asked I can have a salad topped with blackened shrimp. They said they had no salad left. LOL The waiter asked me if I wanted to try this creamy soup with crab in it. (Forgot the name.) I said why not since the reviews looked good. Literally had no crab in it maybe one piece. I was so hungry I didn't complain. Then I tried the crab claws/ fingers. I can tell the crab was not fresh nor tender and the sauce was super greasy and not flavorful. I returned it. I paid for the cup of creamy soup and left to get dinner somewhere else Not only was the food poor, but it definitely killed my appetite and it was getting late to eat else where. read more

We arrived at Kenner Seafood at about 6 p.m. on a Saturday, less than two hours after landing at nearby New Orleans International Airport. It was our first time in Louisiana and we were looking for a memorable first meal before heading to New Orleans the next day and Kenner Seafood fit the bill. Even though it was early, there was already a waiting list. It took about a half-hour before we were seated but we kept seeing a stream of people coming out of the dining room carrying to-go boxes and they were smiling. Louisiana is the land of gumbo and that's what I started with, their seafood gumbo. My companion ordered crab cakes and they were both outstanding. The gumbo was full of shrimp, crab and had a great flavor with a developed roux. The seafood platter came with about double the amount of food I needed. A soft-shell crab, shrimp, catfish and a crab cake and sides of spicy corn on the cob and Cajun potatoes. Everything but the potatoes were outstanding. They were ok but nothing special. The crowd seemed to be mostly locals, which was a good sign. The crowd was steady during the time we were there. As we went to pay, they were scooping up 30 pounds of cooked crawfish for a customer taking them with him. They also looked delicious. read more

Every time I visit my mother in Kenner from San Diego, we go to this place...The food is truly New Orleans and it always takes me back to my childhood...From raw oysters to fried soft shell crabs, to stuffed artichokes, Kenner Seafood will not disappoint your NOLA taste buds... read more

Such an excellent "hole in the wall" place. We were leaving New Orleans for Houston and popped in as it is not too far from the airport. What a wonderful surprise it was. So much so we have visited three times since and will be there again later this week. The place is clean, friendly and offers a great selection all at very reasonable prices. Daily and lunch specials are available. There is ample parking which is "easy in and easy out." The lot will accommodate an RV as well. Flying or driving it is an easy place to find and a great place for local seafood without the high dollar New Orleans cost found at many places. read more

As long as you stick with any seafood on menu you're good. Beans are not good special in Mondays. Avoid them. Love shrimp salad, all seafood and appetizers. Servers are friendly and attentive. read more

Beat seafood in nola hands down. Beat gumbo in town. Love the new location and food is always on point.

Is it sacrilege to go to New Orleans and not eat the seafood? It's allowed if the reason is delicious old school pasta. The seafood at this place is good but after I saw the deep red spaghetti sauce on my daughter's spaghetti and meatball, I had to order the chicken Parmesan. It was fried perfectly with angel hair pasta and a deep dark red sauce all over. I had enough for a late night snack and breakfast the next morning! In addition to having tried the Parmesan, I have tried the stuffed artichoke. If you love garlic, you need to try it! Everything else I've had on the menu was just as good, the waitresses were friendly and it is in an easy to access part of town. If you can't find a place to park right out front, there is plenty of parking on the side. read more

"Kenna" Seafood is a quaint little joint in K-Town that is reliably above average and decently priced. The menu is extremely expansive, which I believe is the major reason nothing is solidly fantastic. There are plenty of options, many unique, but too many to consistently great. The specials are usually a good bet, the po-boys are the best thing on the menu (shocker!), and the pastas sound much better than they actually are (so pass over them). There are several good appetizers (see crab cakes) and several not so good appetizers (see either of the onion mums), and almost all of the sides are on point. (Note too that while the drinks are big, they do charge for refills, and according to the menu, they charge for tap water, though I've never actually been charged for it.) All in all, you won't be disappointed, but rarely will you be overly impressed. read more

A friend who had been here before recommended Kenner Seafood and it was close to our hotel. Plenty of parking and nicely accessible for my wife in her power wheelchair. We had just placed our order when a colleague who was also in town stopped by our table with his parents. He had grown up in nearby Metairie and the locals love it. My wife enjoyed the crab cakes and I went with the oyster Po-boy and a mound of onion rings. It was more than we could eat and all very good! read more

Friday night in New Orleans (okay actually closer to the New Orleans Airport than the touristy parts of town), and wanted some local cuisine- Kenner Seafood was a great choice! The place was busy - a good sign that he food is great! We tried several dishes and had a good experience. I wish we would've asked more questions about the menu before ordering - but the food was great! They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Being the middle part of November, it was starting to get a little chilly outside - so dress accordingly. read more

Out of the way place that only locals know! The food is wonderful and the people that served was friendly

Prices are reasonable. Wow Seafood very good boiled, a little above average I would say. They had some interesting twist on their food you may like. Worth a try. Can be very crowded on the weekends, especially Fridays. read more

Great meal. The service was excellent - really friendly waitress who gave us great recommendations and steered us to the must try dishes knowing we were from out of town.

Kenner seafood was delicious, a must visit the shrimp crawfish and po boys are absolutely delicious..

This place is great. My wife ordered the fried shrimp platter and I had the daily special which was fried catfish. Not only was there a ton of food for the money the food tasted great and the service was awesome. We found everyone that worked there to be very kind, attentive and helpful. We were there on a business/personal trip and even though it seemed the place was filled with regular locals, they made us feel like one too. I cant wait to go back. This will be my first stop the next time I arrive at the airport. Only a short drive away for a hungry man like myself. read more

The food was so good and the prices very reasonable. There was a steady stream of regular customers coming through the door, which is always a good sign!

Grabbed the gumbo and it was very tasty. Good vibes. Nice people. Will eat here again.

Cool and laid back restaurant. Nice staff. They serve cooked food and you can buy fresh seafood. Market prices and restaurant prices are decent. 2 stars because when ordering cooked food they are misleading you. ..when ordering catfish ..I want real catfish. Their "catfish" is that swai fish or basa fish. Highly disappointed. I threw the whole plate away. It's flavorless and doesn't taste the same. read more

My first time in New Orleans. The restaurant I had intended to go to, was close today, and I was only going to be in town for two days. I honestly picked Kenner Seafood because it was close to where I was and I was starving! Crystal was my waitress, and as soon as I told her I was traveling all day and I was starving, she suggested the corn & crab chowder and in 2 minutes (maybe less) it was in front of me and my belly was very happy. It was so good, like home. I was happy. For my dinner, I ordered the trout added shrimp, macaroni, and cheese and coleslaw, where my sides of choice.. everything was so good and so tasty! Try this place, you wont leave hungry!! read more

Probably the best seafood in southern Louisiana. The owners are awesome people too. Everything this place makes is good. read more

This place probably has good food but right now I've been sitting here without a drink going on 20 minutes. The waiters have some sort of Archaic system where they wait tables for before moving to the next table . I didn't see one waiter , waiting on more than one table within an efficient time yet, once again it's been 20 minutes . So the waitress finally arrives apologizing a thousand times , just to take another 15 minutes to bring us two waters with lemons. Yes a very complex drink order ! This is horrific horrible service , I refuse to finish this review, the food can't make up for 35 minutes of no drink and no appetizer ... read more
