I'm that girl that's all about pinching heads & sucking tails... All things CRAWFISH!!!! And Michael's fits the bill. The price is right. The taste is GREAT. The location is good. Friendly staff. And they ANSWER THE PHONE when you call. Winnnnning!!!!! Initially, I stopped in for shrimp some time ago, but then as of late, I've returned for Crawfish & I've not been disappointed yet. 10lbs or more and you have a discounted price on the mud bugs. I noticed other items in the freezer & I've stored this in the recesses of my mind, but my recent visits have been ALL about the CRAWFISH. This is one of my "go to" places for Crawfish & I couldn't be happier. Don't be surprised if you see me here when you come, you've been warned.

I bought me some crawfish for $3.99 lb and 7 lbs of raw shrimp for $3.99 lb...THE CRAWFISH WAS GOOD !!! It wasn't spicy at all. They also take EBT.

Boiled crawfish is not great but good enough when options are limited. Usually hot and the sizes are good, not super flavorful but not the worse either. Friendly service, parking is limited though. My biggest complaint is--you pay for 10lbs of booked crawfish but in reality, you're getting about 8, because the rest is trash...lemon peels, celery, etc. And I've mentioned it nicely, but it doesn't help. No other seafood place does this. I think it's a bit of a scam, on their part done purposely. Stretching that boil.

This is my 3rd time here, and man I'm telling you these folks have some of the best tasting Crawfish in this city. I should also mention they are cheaper by as much as a dollar a pound. Crawfish are plentiful right now and most places are charging over $4.00 a pound. That is Highway robbery for Crawfish. There in one place on Chef Hwy. charging over $5.00 a pound. That is absolutly crazy. But I digress, Michael's is the real deal. If I'm willing to drive from the other side of town 10 pounds minimum is in order. When I got them home they went like wild fire. I was left wondering why I didn't get more. $3.24 was the price today which is reasonable compared to the others. Top of my list now.

Crawfish boil was not made to order. It's precooked, placed in a clear bucket and scooped out when ready to be sold. It was cold as well. When I dumped out into a larger bowl, I noticed there were celery, garlic gloves and round onions (cut in half) which was charged to me in the weight. All of that "extra" boil stuff should have been taken out before weighing. It weighed at least a pound. Considering I paid $3.59 a pound, I should have to pay for theses garnish. Crawfish is soft. Has decent flavoring to it but I am paying for live boiled crawfish during crawfish season...no frozen crawfish. Thanks but no thanks. I gave two stars for the flavor but that's it.

More dead crawfish

This place was absolutely horrible, my dad and I ordered 36 lbs of crawfish and over half the sac was dead before we even started to boil them. I'm sorry but this place is a no for us. Worst sac we've ever bought. Definitely won't be going back!!

buy one dozen medium crabs get 1/2 dozen free!  yum.

passed up several seafood establishments to try Michael's. This place came highly recommended by a coworker and her recommendation did not fall short. Speedy service and delicious seafood at a reasonable price - gets no better.

One word. DELICIOUS

I'm from Jefferson (the first suburb on the immediate west side of NOLA) and when I'm home…read morevisiting, Louisana Seafood Exchange is literally a short walk from the house. Yelp has this listed more like a restaurant, and it's definitely not. It's where you go to buy the freshest uncooked seafood in the city and then take it home and make beautiful things happen with it. This company has 3 locations in S. Louisiana and each is basically a shipping facility that has a retail store in the front. Everything they carry is the freshest possible and they're happy to sell you a pound or a thousand pounds. The turtle meat, frog legs, and alligator tail are especially good. They also have literally every fish that can be found anywhere. The staff here are just so friendly and accommodating. If they're sold out of something that day, they'll be really nice and hold some of it for you from the next day's catch. If you're in a hurry (or just lazy), they'll even be super nice and boil the crawfish you buy. If you need cooking ideas, they'll always help you out. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember and I've never had a bad experience. Everything is the best quality, fresh, and everyone that works here is so pleasant. The place isn't fancy, but it's extremely clean. Prices aren't dirt cheap, but seafood prices never are. Definitely do your seafood shopping here. I can't possibly recommend Louisiana Seafood Exchange highly enough.

First mistake, improperly bagged, shrimp juice was on my floor board and coming through the bag, and also got on other groceries in my truck. Second mistake, the shrimp were turning amber already and not a white flesh with blue tint and a fresh sweet smell, the shrimp shells were soft, (2 day cell break down) and very smelly. Another insider, once rinsed thoroughly, they began to become slimy, so really he purposely is water logging them, because there going bad, I call them about the shrimp, the lady feels personally attacked, after simply explaining the quality of the shrimp, and that I didn't want my money back, her tone and attitude shifting and I went to stop her and ask her why she's sounding upset, she escalates it, then ends up hanging up on me. I show up, nicely ask for a manager, she immediately expresses negative energy and defends herself hanging up, I say nothing and she gets the man in charge. Long story short I went to explain and show him the shrimp, you can see clear as day, BROWN DIRTY SHRIMP WATER WITH BARELY ANY ICE, to add also the sizes were not all large at all, and contained excess shells I didn't ask to pay for. The guy there in charge proceeds to dismiss me entirely very rude, and even gets hostile stepping into my space inches from me. This is what I get for coming to buy shrimp, havnt been here in a year to buy fresh seafood, and I get zero customer service and a very hostile gm or co owner. What ever he is. What's funny is he has the calls recorded and video, but also threatened to call the cops on me responding to his remarks as I'm getting my money back, but there the victim?? SERIOUSLY PSYCHO PEOPLE.. really am Shocked. Over 15 years in FINE DINING, in New Orleans, never in my life have I been attacked over quality of product. I acted professional and expected the same. If I was such a problem why did the sweet lady trying to give me my refund, HAD TO TELL THE GUY AND THE RUDE MANAGER, to go in the back??? lol literally stuff you can't believe you usually just see on tv. Don't believe me?? Watch 24 hours to hell and back, people really act like this. If I was lying, why did I get a refund? Why did he give me a refund when I never asked for one? If the shrimp were fresh, why didn't he inspect them right off the bat?? Because he dealing with someone who knows everything about seafood and he's cutting corners and being lazy with his product, and his pride and obvious short falls made him explode, a 47 year old man. I'm in my 30s

The Rivershack Tavern is well-named! It is located on River Road in a historic building that has a…read moregreat deal of character. This building might be considered by some a shack, and it certainly is a bar. However, it also serves up some amazing food. It's historic inside as well as outside, having classic signs, posters, and other New Orleans memorabilia displayed on virtually every surface, including the ceilings. Also noteworthy are their barstools, which have amusing legs attached. The interior is rather dark, even in the middle of the day, but don't let this deter you. Your eyes will quickly adjust. This might be an advantage if your visit is to engage in day-drinking! However, if your visit is to eat, first look for the board displaying the Daily Special. These are a great choice and may include things not normally on the menu. Variety is the spice of life and all... However, the menu is adequate for most any purpose. There are a great variety of sandwiches, wraps, salads, plates, and appetizers! I like that the sandwiches can be customized with sides. One can swap out regular fries for sweet potato fries, or there are really great and crispy tater tots! One can even opt for a bowl of gumbo or soup! Some of these changes involve a slight up-charge, but are worth it. Speaking of the soups and gumbos, these are really great choices. I happened to be there when French Onion Soup was part of the daily special, and it was amazing! Had a great big toasty chuck of bread with cheese on top, and the soup was rich and delicious. Their gumbo is a substantial choice, with great and deep flavors. I also recommend their BLT, which pairs well with a bowl of soup. The waitstaff is friendly and helpful and the prices are fair. This place is an experience that one should have while in the area. It's definitely a place you'll want to return to!
