This is my go to place to satisfy my seafood and gumbo craving! Seafood Zone is located in a strip mall off General DeGaulle, so there's ample parking. The inside is always spotless, every time I visit. The staff are so friendly and are always ready to take your order. They're currently selling crawfish for $4.59/lb (it's $9+ in Houston). The gumbo is to die for! The roux is made with love and it is very meaty and every scoop fills your spoon. They have a wide range of other menu items and everyone, that I know, who has eaten here always leaves very satisfied. They also have a fully stocked cooler with a wide range of sodas, water, juices, and drinks to wash down your meal. They close at 7pm, so I would recommend getting there as soon as possible. When ordering they also give you a ticket number and that keeps wait area running in an orderly fashion, especially during busy times. They also provide seating, so that you can rest your tail while you wait. I've actually eaten here 4 days in a row and today will make day 5. The food is so good, I haven't cooked in over a week. Stop by and tell them I sent you! read more

I ordered a seafood gumbo and normally this is my go to place for gumbo. I paid 11 dollars for a large gumbo and went back in because there was barely any rice for a large gumbo. I scooped my spoon into the cup of gumbo to show her there was hardly any rice and she refused to give me any extra. I also offered to pay for more rice and she said i had to pay a minimum of 5 dollars on the card machine. Totally disappointed read more

The food was excellent. Hot fresh and the taste bud delicious . I love the courtesy

Do NOT recommend. Customer service was cold and not inviting. No rice...no shrimp...no napkins. Lol...I got bathroom paper towels in my bag as I'm going home with NO RICE. KEEP MOVING TO THE NEXT SPOT read more

Gumbo is really good!!! I tried the yakamein for the first time it was just ok!! During crawfish season they have really good crawfish.

Ordered a catfish poboy dressed to go. I added ketchup and hot sauce when I got home. It was delicious... hit the spot. My belly is full and happy and I could easily take a nap...Hahaha . I will return soon, next time I'm craving a catfish poboy. read more

The damn turkey wing was so good I was trying to get the flavor off my fingers and the bones after I washed my damn hands...Hmmm I should have bought more is the only solution. read more

This is a good spot to stop into for a quick meal. I swung by before lunch to grab a poboy. There are also a wide variety of hot bar items and some groceries as well. My poboy was cheap and huge and the service was quick. I would go back! read more

I'm just here for the seafood gumbo and grilled cheese like it's lunch time on Friday in elementary school. You gotta be from New Orleans to understand that. read more

I really thought I'd reviewed this place already. As some may know, getting a 5 star review off of me is as easy as getting a 100% truthful answer from a politician. But I have to admit, this little hole in the wall place not only has some of the best crawfish I've ever eaten, they do the best gumbo I've had that I didn't make myself. Not only do they do great food, their prices are outstanding. Their shrimp platter (and any platter really) is too big to eat at one sitting. And they don't mind subbing their awesome onion rings for fries. But the portions are so large they have to put tape on the container to keep it most of the way closed. This place probably does 90% take-away. It's small and busy. You may end up waiting outside for your food but damn is it worth it. Just go before 2pm if you want crawfish. It's so popular that they often run out waaay early. Spicy, large and juicy; Very much unlike Rouse's where they make a bland and watery batch at about 11am and it's still mostly sitting there at 5pm. So I guess what I'm saying is don't go here because I want their food and you can't have it. You selfish bastages. read more

Have you ever gotten really excited about a place, ordered everything you wanted, ...hesitated a bit when you saw what the total bill came to... ...and then said "forget it, it'll be worth it...this place had good yelp reviews, I'm going to enjoy some boiled seafood and some boudin!" ...and then waited longer than quoted wait times, ... finally got your food and in a hurry to get home and eat it while hot, left without checking the order for completeness and accuracy (not to mention the fact that everything was securely tied up).... and then.... You finally get home to your food only to discover that the boudin, which you were charged for, was not included in the order. And the rest of the order you looked forward to so much? Less than the 1lb of shrimp I paid for, small crawfish, some of which tasted spoiled, and instead of rotisserie chicken, you get a nasty smallish whole fried chicken. I really can't remember a time being less satisfied with a carry out order than this. Go somewhere else... read more

Great tasting gumbo for a nice price with more than enough portion sizes. Friendly staff as well! Will definitely be back. read more

This is a regular lunch spot for me. I've never had anything bad here. From the crawfish and shrimp po boy to the ya ka mien to the seafood gumbo. The service is good and they're friendly. It gets really busy at lunch so call ahead. The prices are reasonable. If you like spicy crawfish and boiled shrimp... I think this is your spot for the area. You can smell it when you walk in the door. One of these days I will get some on the way home from work. read more

The seafood platters are superb and the best I have ever had. They are reasonably priced and taste better than at many expensive restaurants in the city. I've been ordering platters from Seafood Zone for years and I won't stop. Moreover, the customer service gets an A++ they are so friendly and fast with your order. read more

Their prices are low and reasonable. Not to mention the quantity of the food is awesome. Every dish is made to order and hot out the grease. This is my new favorite po-boy spot read more

I called and asked if they had boiled crabs and they told me no in a condescending tone. A "seafood zone" without boiled crabs... okay

The boiled shrimp are to die for Crawfish very good also.Prices are great unlike someone on Bienville St with 8 bucks a pound for Crawfish lmao .Take a trip to the Westbank it is worth the trip i won't go anywhere else.Not a tourist trap no tourist here. read more

Seafood Zone hands down got the best crawfish! Y'all have to stop there for lunch and grab their gumbo also! read more

Seafood Zone - a bunch of craws in a plastic bag - Seafood Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I have lived here my whole life. I have eaten unbelievable amounts of crawfish from many different people and places. This is hands down the most awful crawfish I have ever tasted in my life. I can't even explain to you how terrible it was. I ordered over 5lbs and between me and my wife, we ate about 7 crawfish and literally threw the rest out because you could not eat it. Half of them were dried out and grayish in color, and to top off the disgusting look, they were sweet and insanely spicy!!! I was so pissed that I spent $30 on garbage crawfish. NEVER and I mean NEEEEVER will I ever eat there again. I'd rather never eat crawfish again that have to eat that crap. ZERO STARS. read more

I was on my way to the airport and wanted to get something to eat. I read on Yelp where Seafood Zone was highly rated and near my hotel. The ratings were true. It's truly a local crowd. The food was very good and you get a lot of it. I ordered the catfish plate for $7.99 and couldn't finish it! If your in New Orleans, hungry and want good food, make your way over to Seafood Zone. Just don't stop by if you're worried about sticking to your diet! read more

The crawfish pie is to die for. YES i know it probably comes frozen and all they do it drop it in the fryer, because I can get the exact same one pretty much at many other Asian owned seafood restaurant, but darn is it good. And I think it's less than 2 dollars here... read more
