    Now this food was amazing. The staff was super kind, and watching the owner cook was like watching magic happen. Everything is made to order so get here early they tend to sell out of food before they close. I ate here two days in a row for lunch and no regrets were had! Highly recommend and there is plenty of seating in the food court.

    Yo Mr. Shrimp, you did that! I went there with a co-worker and order food. We ordered the food online and went to pick it up. The food was FRESH and hot. I ordered a shrimp (12) plate with fries and a drink. My co-worker ordered a shrimp and fish (2 pieces) plate with fries. We also ordered another plate which was a shrimp poboy..The fried shrimp are also deveined. I know I say that like I'm shocked and I am because all places don't do that. The down side to ordering online is that you can't customize your poboy..The food was so hot even when we made it back to work..I'm definitely recommending Mr. Shrimp! A big plus is he was there with the employees helping them..no he wasn't training them he was being helpful. Yall go to the Riverwalk and check em out! Mr. Shrimp get a food truck lol

    At the NDA convention next door in the NOLA Convention center and needed to get away a bit for lunch so walked over to the Riverwalk Mall food court. Super friendly folks and seem to enjoy what they are doing at Mr Shrimps. Ordered the "Shrimp Rich Boy" meal. It's served up super quick as soon as they can fry the shrimp. Super hot and fresh. Friendly folks and decent food.

    You dont typically find this type of food quality in a mall. The 3 guys working moved fairly quickly to get thier customers thier food. Shrimp were fried nice and had good flavor.

    Crawfish pasta with huge shrimp plus catfish filet
    Joneice B.

    Definitely do not skip out on eating at this establishment. My friend who is a local had recommended that we try this spot. On the first time we came to the mall we didn't see any signage for the restaurant so we left. I then got a message from my friend letting me know that they were actually in the food court but they did not have any signage on the main mall maps at this point. We circled back the next day and we were so happy that we got to enjoy the tasty food at Mr. shrimp's. We stopped in before heading on our steamboat cruise so we wanted to eat lunch. We shared the crawfish and shrimp pasta which had a side of catfish. It was definitely enough food for us to feel satiated however we could have ate more we just didn't want to be stuffed on the cruise. The pasta was tasty and the shrimp were huge. We really enjoyed the catfish which I hooked up with some of their hot sauce. Baby that hot sauce is fire and I wish I would have purchased a bottle ago I don't even know if that's an option but it was delicious. Hands down the next time we come back to Nola we're going to mister shrimps not once but at least twice. I really do wanna try their other all offerings and it was just nice chatting it up with the owners and the workers because everyone was so genuine. Wishing all the success to this new business in the mall and I'm telling you do not pass it up if you were reading this review..... you just need to go eat there!!!!!!!!!!!

    The food is exceptional and the owner/chef is exceptional. Great service and great food. The owner/chef is a local Nawlins cat that knows what Nawlins culture and cuisine are all about. His food and conversation made my Father's Day the best. If you are ever in the Riverwalk stop in to get great New Orleans seafood and culture! I promise you won't be disappointed!

    Shrimp boil
    Bianca G.

    Service was not the best. I ordered the seafood boil and asked the worker if I could get a lemon she said they didn't have any when I clearly saw some in a bag. I was excited to try this spot based on reviews however when I tried the actual food it was a bit salty for me. So I had to go back again to ask for lemon. I politely asked if I could get a lemon and the other worker made a comment about me asking for the lemon, saying that I wasn't salty enough. I offered to even pay for it because I felt uncomfortable at this point. The original worker who said they had no lemon actually came out of the booth and just glared at me. Overall the food was okay, nothing out of this world. But the service wasn't good. I wouldn't go back again based on this experience.

    5 Stars 10 out of 10 highly recommend! Mr. shrimp's kitchen is a new restaurant located in the river walk food court. They recently opened on November 17, 2023. This is a family ran business with a lot of heart, a lot of soul, and a lot of flavor. If personality could be sold, they could add it to the menu as well. Mr. Shrimp and Cousin Shrimp are seen customer facing in the front, taking orders and preparing meals. This dynamic duo trying wants you to experience next level dishes through their food. My husband ordered the shrimp Alfredo w/ fried catfish. HIS WORDS: "that was the creamiest alfredo I've ever had, without the appearance of looking too heavily sauced". The dish was low in sodium but didn't lack in flavor. The taste was like "someone's mama made it in the kitchen." He was very pleased, and the catfish was battered and seasoned perfectly. After going back and forth I settled on the Shrimp Yakamein, posted on their sign. Being a Baltimore native I'm use to a different style of yakamein, gravy base, fatter noodles. However after Mr. Shrimp gave me a small sample of the broth (alone), my decision was made!!! ILL TAKE 1 PLEASE! Before I knew it, I was being handed a 32oz container of Yakamein, piping hot. It contained fresh cut chives, 1 egg split in half, spaghetti style noodles, and a heaping portion of broth filled to the brim! I felt like Dora the Explorer eating this... "yum yum yum Delicioso"! I'm blessed to have my first New Orleans Yakamein experience at Mr. Shrimp! I'm excited to see where this journey takes them next. The ambiance is typical foodcourt vibes, but their restaurant was clean! The pots and pans seemed like well seasoned pots and pans straight from grandmas kitchen. These guys really take pride in what they are doing here in the Riverwalk! They are extremely humbled and blessed for the opportunity they've been given here at this location. Check out the pics, and videos, and RUN DONT walk to Mr. Shrimp. My ONLY recommendation is to offer a 16oz option. I'm not a huge portion person, and I hate to be wasteful because the portion is so large. I ended up sharing it with my husband. Lastly, the prices are affordable and on par with the portions you get! I wish Mr. Shrimp nothing but the best in the future of his business, and Happy early birthday to him as well. (Feb 8th)

    Shrimp Alfredo with Fried Catfish

    The Chef was amazingly kind to us! It's obvious he loves what he does! You don't get to see that joy much anymore! He let us sample a turkey neck while we waited for our order. I had Shrimp Alfredo Pasta with fried fish and my husband had the Jambalaya Pasta with fried shrimp. The food was so good! We will definitely be returning and sharing our experience!

    Shrimp Rich Boy
    Diva D.

    If you leave hungry, it's your own fault. hUGE portions of fresh, delicious and made-to-order food. Shrimp, sausage and corn boil for husband, shrimp "rich boy" for me. The shrimp are HUGE. The "rich boy" shrimp are also pretty high in and have a light batter than complements the tender shrimp. Service was friendly, enthusiastic and joyful. Great find in the Riverwalk shopping area!

    Cecille R.

    I stopped by on a whim for a quick lunch. This small spot packs a punch! For the freshest seafood plate, this is where you need to stop. They're affordable , fresh and delicious! These are the nicest guys and so hardworking! Highly recommend !

    Cajun shrimp

    Five stars. Cajun shrimp was delicious and seasoned perfectly. Service was fast and hot. Workers were kind.

    Fried Shrimp with Fries
    Ebony J.

    Absolutely delicious. I don't know how else to put it. It's located in the Riverwalk food court and is so so good. The people who work there have a bunch of character and confidence in that definitely comes out in their food. I got the fried shrimp and fries combo and ate every last drop. I would recommend coming around 11/11:30am because they are very busy during the eatery rush hours. Definitely give it a try when you're in the area. You won't regret it.

    Mr. Shrimp himself. Great fun and personality.

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.

Very limited seating; there's a wait on more popular nights. Servers are friendly and efficient, if you can get a table. Crawfish eat in was $7.25/lb when we visited the first time in late March. I ordered 3# and husband had a catfish plate. Great flavor on the crawfish and catfish nicely seasoned. Fountain sodas are $3. Next visit was shortly after, to go only from their busy, busy take-out counter opposite the seating area. Lots of choices, from stuffed artichokes to potato salad, stuffed eggs (deviled eggs) and bread pudding. Just needed 3# of crawfish to wash away the day at work. Not disappointed. In and out in under 10 min. Last visit this week, unable to get a table, so got it to go: 3# crawfish (now $4.75/lb take and $6.25/lb eat in), stuffed eggs (good, regular flavor, nothing fancy - 2/$2.75), corn (3/$3.75 sweet, sweet flavor), bread pudding with rum sauce (also available w/white chocolate sauce) which we reheated and ate the next day, and a shrimp poboy ($14.25), dressed, that took several minutes to come out of the kitchen. TONS of shrimp on it. Young lady delivering sandwich apologized for the wait. $41.92 w/tax before tip.

We continue and my mom mentions how many dead crawfish she had gotten by this point, she said she couldn't eat anymore, I though she was exaggerating, I until i had gotten about 8 dead ones myself.
