We tried Lefort's Seafood today (Friday the 13th) and had an awesome experience. My husband and I shared 3 pounds of crawfish with corn and a catfish platter with fries, and everything came out hot and fresh. The service was phenomenal, especially for a new restaurant. 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. read more

Lefort's Seafood - Catfish - Seafood Markets Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

See all

Absolutely the worst food in the city. Better to eat gas station seafood. I spend $125.70 on 12 May 2026 for three people and the boiled seafood platter was an embarrassment to Louisiana. The shrimp was rubber and like eating chewing gum. I told them showed them and the said sorry and claimed it was fresh and brought out a new plate but it was the same double boiled crap. The corn and potatoes were room temperature and the lobster was like peeling an armadillo. The red beans had a terrible after taste like it was days old. The 5lbs of crawfish was so-so and we didn't eat but half since it was weak on seasoning. A West Bank local suggested it and after he admitted it went to hell since Sal sold it. It I based my New Orleans food experience off this place I would become a vegan. Save your money and gut buy a lighter and eat out the canal.

Lefort's Seafood - Receipt proving even trash food can be expensive - Seafood Markets Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

Soft shell crabs were perfect, grilled oysters fantastic and fried seafood was very good.

When I'm craving crawfish, Lefort's always comes to mind first! They've got a friendly staff and convenient pickup options. They only do to-go but the coolers are usually stocked with seafood for your fridge too. The seasoning is on point, but not too spicy. Definitely check out this place if you're looking for excellent seafood, ready to eat or to cook yourself at home. read more

When we got there, the waiter warned us that it may take a little longer because the crawfish was still in the pot. Needless to say it was worth the wait. the crawfish Was seasoned just right. The price was good too when we got the bill. read more

The crawfish are huge are very flavorful. It is now my favorite place to go for Friday crawfish.

Our go to for seafood on the westbank! Their boiled seafood is always delicious, seasoned just right. When we need live crawfish this is the place to get them. I need to try their fried seafood soon, but for boiled or live seafood I haven't had a better experience on the Westbank! read more

I was really excited to try this place, but I was very disappointed when I got home and opened my order. For the price you pay for the seafood platters, you would expect the plate to at least be full. I ordered the protein platter where you pick two items and a side (onion rings or fries). I chose catfish and shrimp, but unfortunately they were out of fish, so I got oysters instead. When I opened my plate, there were barely any fries and everything was very greasy. Overall, the portion size did not match the price. Even ordering food from church events usually comes with a fuller plate. read more

The service was good. The tables are too crowded. The owner is a jerk. The crawfish taste like muddy water. The best part was the waiter. Didn't catch his name. But he was sweet and attentive. A little guy. read more

4/24/26 I went in for crawfish in a smoke sausage. Got 2 lbs of crawfish . Crawfish was hot but no flavor most of the time they good 1 smoke sausage . sausage was cold not warm I do mean cold. read more

The shrimp tasted like they were soaked in iodine. The oysters were tiny. The oniion rings were very oily. We paid for the combo plate, which was SUPPOSED to be "two full-plates". We got 7 shrimp and 6 oysters. And they didn't have the 2 apetizers we asked for. THEN...when I got home I looked at the bill and see where they charged $.45 for a glass of water. AND...even though we paid $25.99 for our combo plate, we were CHARGED $2.85 or 9.75% toCOOK the food..! That's pure Bulls**t. We will NEVER go back there and will let anyone who asks know of our experience. I'll bet this review doesn't appear on the Review page. WE MISS SAL'S..........! read more

3/19/26 went to Leforts for dinner. Crawfish was horrible!!! Order 5 pound and at least a dozen had straight tails and plenty of them was just the head only. The crawfish was mushy. Told the waitress and she just walk away and said nothing. read more

Had a very bad experience at this restaurant lefort's seafood restaurant this past Friday for lunch. We ordered the 2 Fry fish and oyster platter, it's was a very bad choice, they must use old Grease, really soggy with grease, bad grease not fresh. It's supposed to be crispy golden, not. The oyster was the same, over cook burnt bad taste oily grease. We talked to Mr Lefort, he was very ugly and rude to us for making this complaints. He lie to us twice saying that everything fresh. Not so I know I will never eat or buy anything from this place, and will tell everyone I know. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone. I wish him a lot of luck,in the restaurants business. The truth Marrero people will see how awful this person is really like. In time will tell. He has a very bad personality. And do not take criticism very well. Good luck to him and his new restaurant business. read more

This is the NASTIEST seafood I've ever had!! I've been going to Lefort's well over 10 years, and this is NOT Mr. Lefort's (dad) recipe that he perfected. That's frozen seafood with NO seasoning. Also, they have D & D sausage on the menu, but served some cheap sausage. The crawfish was dry. The lobster was rubbery. The mussels were tasteless. The shrimps were overcooked. The snow crab legs taste like water. Lastly, EVERYTHING was cold. That was a waste of $100. The staff were really friendly and attentive. read more

Crawfish were excellent good great. It says I can't review the place without 85 characters so here

The crawfish, fixings, and sides have all been consistently fresh and delicious each time I've visited here. My favorite is the lobster. So much flavor. The staff, especially the girl that works the desk regularly are super friendly and knowledgeable. read more

The food here was AMAZING. The staff was wonderful and treated us perfectly, great service times as well. The environment was also great for a little hole in the wall typa place. Would come again! read more

The best place to buy boiled seafood and fried everything, The owner brandon and his staff are all first class people. Always fresh,always delicious. Keep up the great service you always provide...... MARVIN LEDET..... read more

The most delicious and fresh crawfish! A lil spicy but I power through in the name of being Cajun! Staff and owners always on point!

The owner is harassing me behind a 1 star review that I left on Google over spoiled crawfish that was sold to me. After I left my review he then left a reply stating that I slandered him and that I'm married. First off I've never been married!!!!! Slander means NOT TRUE! THE CRAWFISH WAS SPOILED. The owner acts like a kid when someone leaves a bad review. A hit dog will holler and he did. Last but not least WHO returns crawfish if they are indeed good. I would rather pass LEFORT SEAFOOD up and go on the Eastbank to CAJUN PERSUASION and pay 14.00 a pound for my crawfish and only stay 5 minutes away from Lefort. read more

I tried them for the 1st time today. OMG definitely a hidden gem. Best crawfish I had in years

the owners and servers are very rude. didnt even get to the food after nasty comment from server and diety looks from owner

Great customer service the crawfish is amazing and I would recommend this place to anyone who wants some of the best seafood on the westbank

Food is sooooooooooooooo good all the time! Great little place and service with a smile. Workers are always happy!! Highly recommend!!

I tend to go to all different local seafood joints and rate to see which ones are my favorite spots to go for crawfish. I like how juicy the crawfish and a bit spicy wish it was more spicy. They're a lot of dead ones, and needs better cleaning and removing debris. I come here multiple times and didn't get a consistent of big crawfish and always be a lot of small and medium mix. There was one time I went and it tasted real bad but majority was good. read more

The food and customer service is awesome Jennifer is always so welcoming. The only place I go for boiled seafood, sides and fresh catfish. Continue being a great business. read more

Absolutely disgusting 70% dead crawfish mushy mushy tasted like an outaform taste really bad I had to throw away 160$ of crawfish and the manager refused to talk to me or give a call back I hope ppl don't get sick from this place which is usually good idk what's different shame iv been a frequent customer and being in the tourism industry I send a lot of ppl there but not anymore there dangerous read more

Lefort's Seafood - Crawfish,shrimp potatoes an corn was so good with the butter garlic sause!! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

Authentic. From the crawfish, to the cut potatoes, to the witty signage covering the building; this place embodies Louisiana seafood boil culture. Seasoned but not too salty. Potatoes are cut in half so every bite melts in your mouth with the perfect amount of seasoning. 3 picnic tables outside for you to sit and enjoy a simple, yet genuine seafood experience. Last but not least is the service, and Jen did not disappoint. Talk about the perfect combination of hospitality, gratitude, and joy and I don't think you could find a more perfect fit for the face of this establishment. She is embedded in this business and it was clear from the moment we walked in. Could not have picked a better place to spend an evening and I WILL recommend to anyone who wants a true taste of Louisiana. read more

Food decent only problem is lady at front counter (nice lady) touches hair, scratches arm, collects money and etc and will put her nasty hands on people crawfish shrimp and crabs with bare hands like we don't have to put it in our mouths that's nasty!! read more

Employees are awesome especially Jennifer. She is always happy lol love the boiled crawfish just the right boil. Not extra spicy like some places read more

Small little shack on the right side of Lapalco going towards Westwood which offers different seafood items and good customer service. If you're trying to find this place for the first time, you may pass it up, but once you notice it, you won't pass it up again! Seafood is boiled and seasoned very well with pricing following the season. They've gotten pretty popular which you would most likely see cars parked along side Lapalco Blvd which would give away their location. They only offer carry out which you can not dine in to eat. Like any other seafood joint, it's best to call and see the availability of prepared seafood they have for the day before making a trip over and not getting what you want. Staff is very nice and swift providing friendly service with a smiley face. Definitely a good spot to fill your seafood cravings if you're looking for some! read more

2/3/2024 Bought 10lbs live crawfish at $11 per pound. Got home and found out that 4 pounds of crawfish were dead. Truly bad business practice. read more

Amazing food and service. Love the atmosphere and huge painting of Jody. I will definitely be back. Keep up the awesome service and food! I am glad you now offer fried seafood and if anyone asks where the best is I will refer them to Leforts! read more

If you are looking for a place that makes delicious spicy seasoned crawfish you found it! They are my absolute favorite! I haven't found a better seasoned crawfish in New Orleans. On top of crawfish they sell all other seafood's and all the sides you can imagine! read more

Lefort's Seafood - a pile of craws, corn and potatoes - Seafood Markets Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

If you're driving along Lapalco you may pass this place and never notice it and it would be a loss. You need to call ahead as the owner posts that while there are posted times they are open it is arbitrary depending on the mood of the owner; I like it :)) I called ahead and placed large orders twice from this place in the off season and in both cases the crawfish and crab were well seasoned and spicy. I then ordered for several occasions for the family. They were consistently good and the family enjoyed it. Keep in mind that this was the off season and they were able to consistently deliver crawfish where many places could not get their hands on any volume. I would recommend the sides of corn, sausage, etc. The staff is friendly and fast and helpful. This is a take out place only; don't expect to eat there. They boil in the back and it is apparent. Food = 5 Waitstaff = 5 Speed = Depending on length of line = 4 Atmosphere = 3 read more

Seasoned to perfection only tried the crawfish. Shrimp was dry. Other menu items I have not tried

Great service, even in a Sunday morning pre-boil at 8am. Great quality and pricing. Thanks LeFort family!
