This was some of the worst customer service I've experienced in a long time…read more I ordered the steamed crabs. As soon as they arrived, I picked one up and immediately thought, "Wow, this is incredibly light." Anyone who eats crabs regularly knows that's usually a bad sign. When I opened it, it was completely hollow inside--nothing but an empty shell. A crab that is hollow like that was dead before it was cooked. I never took a single bite. I showed it to our server, Remy B., who apologized and said she would let the manager know. She took the plate away, so I assumed the issue was being handled. When the bill arrived, I was still charged for the crabs. I asked to speak with a manager and explained exactly what happened. She confirmed that I had notified the server and that the plate had been taken away. Then she told me that it didn't matter because their policy is to not give refunds or remove food from a check. Let that sink in: they acknowledged that I didn't eat the food, acknowledged that the server removed it, and still charged me for it. A restaurant standing behind its food is the bare minimum. Charging customers for food that was clearly unacceptable and never eaten is ridiculous. The lack of concern from management was even more disappointing than the crab itself. The only reason this review isn't 1 star is because the young man at the host stand was friendly, professional, and the one bright spot of the entire experience.

Remember this is a cash only place!…read more I was eager to try this place because it closes down for a season and if you as a restaurant can close for a season I'm curious. We tried the chargrilled oysters and they were very tasty. While I didn't go crazy with the menu I felt my choice was a great. Service was good and the inside is like stepping into someone's grandmas old kitchen. I'd go back on my next trip!

Our server, Christopher, was very attentive, suggested wine pairings, and gave us great recommendations. We started with the charbroiled oysters which is a must. They were large and charred to perfection on the outside grill, topped with parm and breadcrumbs. 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. It's an honest, no BS creole inspired cuisine. 100% coming back soon!

And yet again, I am so thankful for Yelp steering me in the right direction yet again! A short Uber from the French Quarter brought us to what I believe is such a special hidden gem! 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!!

This was my first time at the restaurant. Both my daughter and I ordered crawfish. It was served in…read moreearly March. The large crawfish were placed on top, with the smaller ones underneath. About 20% of the crawfish were inedible; they were either saturated with water or fell apart when peeled. The crawfish were very mild and not spicy at all. My daughter happened to like them that way, but I did not. However, we both agreed that we would not return to this restaurant to get crawfish again. We cannot comment on the quality of the other food, but the service was terrible. We ran out of napkins, and none were brought to us. There were no drink refills either. Our table was covered with crawfish husks that needed to be cleared. The place was busy, which might explain the service, but it does not excuse it.

My fiancé is the type who always has to have steak sauce, and the manager went above and beyond to find some for him. That level of service and attention to detail really stood out to us.

CAJUN SEAFOOD!!! My…read moreoh my, does this place have my heart! They know how to get down right here. 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.
