    BBQ Shrimp with corn potatoes and sausage and french bread

    I recently ate here with my family after getting a recommendation from a friend and the food was amazing! We ordered: Charbroiled oysters both the original (Cheese & garlic butter) and the seafood (Seafood stuffing, cheese & garlic butter). The original was a 4/5 it was well seasoned. The seafood was a 5/5 the seafood stuffed highly enhanced the flavor. If you have to choose one go with the latter. It also came with slices of French bread. The flavor was very robust. Seafood Gumbo, this was very delicious. The rice was well cooked and the gravy/soup was seasoned in a delicious way. You can't go wrong with this. There was a decent amount of meat and shrimp in it too BBQ Shrimp with potatoes, sausage and corn. This was very good. The shrimp was huge and a good portion sized. The accompany sides that was added was good. The sausage wasn't spicy just to note. The corn was boiled and flavored well Stuffed crab, this was crabbed stuffed with shrimp and seasoning. This was very tasty and was surprisingly enjoyable and so delicious. You get two servings with seasoned fries. Kids Meals Popcorn Shrimp, Chicken Tenders, and Chicken nuggets. The kids loved their meals. The shrimp has a great flavors and all the kids loved the seasoned fries. The tenders were plenty full about 6 the nuggets were about 8. More enough to stuff you child full. The popcorn was plentiful as well. Service started off string but faltered as the dinner crowd came in. Other than that this would be a 5 star review. I would come back here and I recommend the food strongly.

    Everything goes well every time! The service is excellent the food is excellent and who doesn't appreciate stuff animals! lol Our go to spot when we're looking to enjoy boiled seafood away from the house. I've never charbroiled crabs before that was good and different. I'm not big on cheese with my charbroiled stuff but they seem to get it right here.

    We ate a pound of boiled shrimp and my man who isn't adventurous went with the fried shrimp basket. Wonderful food and service. The Deco is interesting and inviting.

    Perino's is one of our favorite spots for crawdads. These were so flavorful and juicy. The oysters were super as well. Service is always friendly and attentive. You don't have to wait long for the crawdads, they just keep them coming. It's over the bridge from the city so best visited if you have wheels. Call first to make sure they have crawdads as the season is limited.

    Haha Delicious gator just came from seeing them in the swamps to eating them. And man both ways are great but seriously. The gator is very tender the crawfish was great the beer was great. Our waitress was sweet and was great. My guy kept saying they gave him a whole lot of gator and that is all he wanted while visiting in Louisiana. Very very hospitable people here. I like a good restaurant with good conversation and good food and you can't go wrong. With all of that. I like giving 5 stars where 5 stars are due but they deserve a + 10. And not pricy at all. Good amount of food for a good price bravo. I forgot to take photos of the food because we were too busy eating. I can't wait to come back in May. My family will love this place. See you soon

    It's a Monday around 7. Dinner rush left, only a few tables of folks. Brenda greets us and quickly gets out drinks. We order and are very hungry. In 6 minutes we get the best onion rings ever! Everything else gets to our table in 9 minutes. Food is perfect. Brenda is perfect. A perfectly tasty dinner.

    Seafood Charbroiled Oysters!

    Never disappointed, the food is always delicious! Consistently good and never fails to hit the spot.

    I had a great experience at Superior Seafood! A family member picked this place out so I had no…read moreexpectations but i'm glad this place was chosen! The restaurant had a nice environment and good hospitality. For appetizers, I tried the sizzling jumbo gulf shrimp and char-grilled oysters. Those shrimp were absolutely amazing, the grill added such a great flavor and that garlic butter sauce was drinkable!!! My only complaint was that you only get 4 shrimp that were not jumbo in my eyes, so i'd say this dish was overpriced. While I didn't order the char-grilled oysters I went ahead and tried one. I was hesitant but I was pleasantly surprised, the texture reminded me of a mushroom and the parmesan crust was really good on it. All entrees came with a salad that I wasn't expecting and while the dressing isn't my usual go-to it was really good!!! I couldn't even tell you what it was but it was sweet, garlicky, herbaceous and had a lot of parmesan in it! For my main I ordered the Salmon Lafitte which was grilled salmon with a side of orzo. The salmon had great flavor but was more on the well done side rather than medium well as requested but it was very fresh. The creamy orzo with mushrooms and spinach stole the show. It was delicious and so flavorful, you may need to add salt to it but all the ingredients complemented each other so well and made a very good dish. My sister ordered the Herb Roasted Chicken with Broccolini and Mashed Potatoes which was also a very good dish. The chicken was crispy and seasoned well throughout, again maybe slightly overcooked but the flavor was delicious and the garlic butter sauce that came with it was divine!! Overall, I will definitely be dining here again! I had a memorable time and look forward to making my next visit here!

    Still a Favorite, But Definitely Pricier…read more We went back to Superior Seafood Friday night with my husband and daughter. We've been here many times over the years, but it had been a while since our last visit. We started with the crawfish beignets and spinach & artichoke dip--both were delicious! I especially love the tortillas they serve with the dip, along with salsa and sour cream. For our entrées, my husband had the redfish topped with crab meat, my daughter had the 12-oz steak frites, and I had the seared scallops with green beans. Everything was good overall, and my daughter especially loved her steak. Each entrée also came with a small salad with a light dressing and a couple of marinated olives, which I really enjoyed. The one disappointment was the lentils that now come with the redfish. My husband remembered the dish coming with potatoes, which he preferred. I tried the lentils too, and neither of us was a fan. The restaurant was packed, but we only waited about seven minutes to be seated, and the lively atmosphere didn't bother us at all. Our server was friendly and attentive despite how busy it was. My biggest takeaway, though, was the price increase. Many entrées are now $35-$40+, and by the end of dinner, we realized we had spent quite a bit for three people--enough to make us think we could have eaten at a higher-end restaurant for the same price. Still, we enjoyed our evening and would recommend Superior Seafood. We especially like coming here for happy hour and sitting at the bar, which is probably our favorite way to visit!

Our server, Christopher, was very attentive, suggested wine pairings, and gave us great recommendations. We started with the charbroiled oysters which is a must.

My friends ordered the filet and the gulf fish, and I had the charred cabbage entree, with a French gerwurztraminer blend. The mushrooms with the blue cheese sauce were so rich and delicious! Sweet treats were a no brainer. The blue cheese flan was creamy and decadent. A perfect ending to the meal. This is so far my fave restaurant in New Orleans.

The moment you step into Atchafalaya, you realize it. Ambience is amazing, quirky, cool, homey and cozy. Staff is amazing. We sat in our own private room and were treated to a very special delight of a dinner. I tried the incredible fried green tomatoes, the seafood soup (?) and the incredible steak...wow, everything was amazing. And not only did Chef Christopher Lynch come out to say hello to my Autistic son but the owner Tony Tocco did as well and it made his day! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

It was super close to where we were staying, and since I didn't catch a seafood boil in the Quarter or anywhere else in town, I had to try this spot. My friend and I had our eyes on it, but once our Uber driver confirmed it was a bomb spot, we were all in and it did not disappoint. I even met a lady who drives 45 minutes just to get here, so if she makes that trek, you know this is the spot. I will be dreaming of this place! Being takeout-only gave it that authentic, local vibe, and I loved every bite. Unlike the typical mixed seafood boils, they bag everything separately, and I mixed it all together once I got back to my place. They have some garlic butter you can add, and I got it spicy! It definitely had a kick, and I loved it. I had a pound of shrimp, added sausage, two boiled eggs, the BOMBEST potatoes and corn, all tossed with the spicy garlic butter and I devoured it. Let me just brag on that shrimp and those potatoes for a second: both were amazing. The potatoes were cooked to perfection! Soft, not mushy, and seasoned just right. And the shrimp? Wow. I can still taste it. If you're in NOLA, you have to check this spot out! I will say one more thing though I wish I had room to try the gumbo! I would have loved to taste it here. Lastly, I didn't get to grab a po' boy in town, so we came back the next morning to try one. Sadly, the seafood section wasn't ready yet (we went around 10:30am), but the roast beef po' boy with gravy, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and maybe few other ingredients in it was incredible. I loved it! You'll definitely catch me here again next time I'm in town. 10,000/10. Thank you, cooks! A few practical things: if you're driving, there's parking. The service was friendly, prices were great, and while there isn't indoor seating, the waiting area is decent-sized. Just know it can get busy!

It was filled with nice chunks of beef, shrimps, and chicken. The broth was perfect (some places make it way too salty) and definitely satisfied my palate. Seafood Gumbo - Like most New Orleanians like me, we don't eat just anyone's gumbo. This hit the spot in every way gumbo should hit the spot! Service: Impeccable! Everyone I've come in contact with at Cajun's on Broad Street have been nothing short of wonderful. My experience has been amazing because they will address you with a smile as soon as they see you. They take your order and engage you in conversation treating you like a human being and not $$$. The staff is courteous and efficient. Ambiance: Fun family vibe and personal attention. If you're ever in the New Orleans area, come and give this business a try. You can only order takeout because there's no seating area to enjoy your meal there which is the reason I rated it 4 stars. Nonetheless, staff is everything and the food is soooooo delicious.
