Had never heard of the place but went with my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. Ordered the kid's portion of friend shrimp and fries, as I was not very hungry. Shrimp and fries were great and price was ok. Ordered the fried bread pudding (to-go). Got home to share it with my husband, who was not present with me when I visited the establishment. Well, let me tell you what a disappointment - and shock- it was upon opening the container. Four tiny bits of overcooked, dry bread pudding with some chocolate sauce in a condiment cup...all for $12!!! I've eaten a lot of bread pudding from many places and this was just laughable to even be called bread pudding. They need to either lower the price or increase the portion! The young man who served us was pleasant and knowledgeable. It was a busy day and he clearly could not keep up with his tables. My daughter asked for an extra plate - that never came. We waited quite a few minutes for to-go containers and then again for our check. My family did mention their food was good though. Overall, I have no plans to go back - and I definitely won't recommend the bread pudding! read more

The service and food were great. And the setting was delightful! I would highly recommend this establishment.

Seither's is an almost institution in Harahan when it comes to getting your seafood fix. The food is always good; on our last visit I got a corn and shrimp bisque and a Rock n Roll Po'boy. Both were tasty. The Rock n Roll poboy is fried shrimp, avocado, spring mix, eel sauce, siracha and mayo. I got mine without the mayo. The atmosphere is basically a hole in the wall. Most of the time people sit outside but the street is pretty busy, so people are always driving by. Parking is pretty crappy as there aren't many places in the front but there is room in the back if people don't block you in. The inside isn't much on atmosphere. The bathroom door wouldn't lock, and it looked like some sort of bad science experiment exploded. Don't come here for the atmosphere (not romantic), come here for the food or get it to go. I will be back once crawfish prices come down. read more

Excellent fresh seafood served with a smile. Such a great "side of the road" seafood shack with ample seating inside or outside. The po-boy sandwiches are excellent and the crawfish special is something to go out of your way for. I'd recommend this spot to anyone in the area. Enjoy!! read more

Wow, I cannot believe I am just now trying this place. It's a great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating super busy during Lent Fridays. I haven't seen a unique menu like this one in a long time. I ordered the Rock & Roll poboy sub blackened shrimp. This was one of my favorite dishes I have tried in a really long time. It was just a burst of flavor with every bite and all the sauces paired so well together. There is still another ten things on the menu that I would love to try. I just really appreciate a restaurants that has such unique menu items and foods that would be nearly impossible to cook or make for yourself at home. Restaurants are all about experiences and wow factors and this place is one of those for sure. This restaurant wasn't on Diner Drive In and Dives for nothing! I can't wait to come back! read more

Kind of a New Orleans neighborhood type restaurant. That is a great thing to say about any place to eat. We are famous for places like Antoine's, Court Of Two Sisters, Galatoire's and Arnaud's but if your budget is not in the mood for a big hit try Seither's. The food is amazing but but overly fancy, the portions are generous and for the quality the prices are surprisingly affordable. A great place when the weather is good, they often have live music as a little lagniappe. Not quite a five in my book but if they had 4 1/2 that would be more accurate. A very enjoyable experience in all aspects. read more

Interesting menu. We had the volcano and the blackened shrimp and avocado salad. Both dishes were delicious. Service was quick and friendly. We would recommend this restaurant! read more

Seither's Seafood - The Volcano - Seafood Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

Great service for a Saturday night dinner in this small, intimate location - glad to have an indoor table, which they rearranged to accommodate for us. Husband, myself, cousin & her husband settled in with crawfish rangoons ($17) and drinks. The rangoons should be illegal. :) Served with a sweet chili dipping sauce, they are about 2" big, shaped like open envelopes and very light. SO good! Husband ordered street corn ($8) & shared with cousin who pronounced it amazing. Dinner was: (Cousin) Blackened Shrimp & Avocado salad ($17), which she devoured. (Husband) The Pontchartrain ($25), with a thoroughly divine crabcake topping (Me) Killer Roast Beef Po Boy w/hush puppies ($16) - loaded with meat & gravy (Husband) Disco Fries ($12) - definitely meal size twist on meat & potatoes Deep fried Chocolate Bread Pudding ($12) - brought with whipped cream and 4 forks. Servers worked as a team so packing up leftovers and checking out was a breeze. Can't wait to go back; there are still a few things I need to try. read more

The inside of Seither's is something I must give 10s for. It feels like the inside of a boat with aquatic scenery and feels like you're on the ocean on a nice sunny day. Our waitress was nice and the food was splendid (the reviews did not lie at all when they said the crawfish was amazing). So if you're looking for a laid back scenery with amazing crawfish and seafood...Seither's is the place for you. read more

Incredible menu. Creative combos. Very small casual indoor dining space; nice outdoor space with fire pits and live music. Oysters were delicious and fried green tomatoes and onion rings. Next time I would order my BLT oyster po boy without all the mayo and sauce. It was too much. Fairly expensive IMO. For three people (we had no alcohol) it was $88 + tip. read more

We went here to try a new place and it did not disappoint. Loved the decor on the inside. There is an option of inside or outside dining. We ordered the disco fries, blackened shrimp and avocado poboy, and the killer roast beef poboy. Everything was incredible! read more

Incredible seafood experience. Stopped here for dinner when I was passing through. It's a hole in the wall run by a true chef. If you're around and in the mood, you won't find better quality if you were on the boat catching it yourself and even then I doubt you have someone to prepare it for you who has more passion for what they do. read more

Seithers is a go to no matter what the season. Crawfish, crab, or whatever. I strongly recommend whatever Jason is boiling that day but his po-boys specialty seafood dishes, and everything else is top rate. Drag your no seafood buddy and feed them the roast beef, neither of you will regret it. Sitting outside when there's a band in the evening is a great experience, inside is a little cramped feeling sometimes but never unwelcome. read more

Ate at Seither's on a Thursday night and was welcomed by a band playing live music. We chose to eat outside. The service was great and the staff were friendly. Started off with the crawfish rangoons as an appetizer and they were incredibly flavorful. For the main course, we had their boiled seafood--crawfish and shrimp-- and they were juicy and well-seasoned. I will definitely be back for boiled seafood and to explore the menu. read more

Took the in-laws from out of town and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was pretty busy but we quickly got a table outside in front of the stage. I was a little worried the band would be too loud but they weren't, we enjoyed the music but were still able to carry on a conversation. I started with the Mac and cheese and I gotta say it's some of the best I've had - ever. So very cheesy yet mild and perfect. It was a little strange to have to add corn, potatoes and sausage to my crawfish because those normally come with, but I added them anyway. I also added shrimp, they gave me so many I couldn't eat them all, flavored will too although I prefer more spicy. Husband has blacked red fish and loved it. I recommend on a nice day, indoor dinner was pretty small so I'm not sure what the experience would be when it's not nice outside. read more

Coworkers suggested this place for lunch today and they were spot on. They laughed at me attempting to eat crawfish but it was all fun and tasty. I went with the blackened shrimp and avocado poyboy.

First off, quaint little place. Parking is slim in the front and if you don't have a reservation you maybe waiting! However, it's small and lively! Live music is outside and available some/most nights! Secondly, service was fast and friendly! Third, the food was worth it! The kitchen is doing everything right! The hot crab dip (while heavy) was VERY GOOD. One of the best crab dips I've ever had. The blackened fish poboy (normally comes like the yellow plate), but the wife is picky and wants just fish on hers so they gave us the yellow one no extra charge! The ponchatrain was the bomb! It's the only thing I remembered to take a picture of before messing it up. When hunger calls...feed it. We will definitely be back again! read more

Neighborhood/locals place with a small dining room but plenty of outdoor seating. Very attentive wait staff, even during the lunch rush. The menu is eclectic with some very unique dishes but we didn't want to stray too far from the comfort zone as we both had a large breakfast. What we really wanted was a crisp and lighter shrimp remoulade salad (Pee Paw) but was told the lettuce had not come in so no salads today. Bummer. So instead my companion got a bowl of the crab and corn bisque which they thoroughly enjoyed and I got an oyster poboy which I thought was just ok. It would have been much better had a better quality of French bread was used (cough, cough, Leidenheimers) but this was more doughy, like a Cuban bread. We also got an order of onion rings (my companion's weakness) which were very good but at $1 a ring ($12 an order)they should be. We didn't get any today but they make some of the best boiled crawfish in the city. We can't wait to try some of the other menu items. read more

I have been coming here for years and I am never disappointed; in fact, I feel like it just keeps getting better and better. The hamper is seafood prepared like no other that reveals the genius Chef Jason is. I'm not sure what he does or how he does it, but the output and product is beyond words. The service is always meticulous. If they get it wrong, they make up for it immediately. Bottom line, they care, and that makes all the difference in the world. I love it here and love everything about it. The ambience is just what you want for a seafood restaurant. If you love seafood, you have to try Seither's. Being a seafood lover and not trying Seither's is like considering yourself a scholar and never going to school. read more

First time having a real Louisiana crawfish boil. It's different than the crawfish boils in Southern California. I feel there's more flavor in so cal. It was a local mom and pop dining experience. We sat outside on a Thursday evening around 6 and enjoyed live entertainment outside and our waitress was very helpful and welcoming. Food was good. Fun experience. read more

This place was absolutely delicious. We had huge fresh oysters on a half shell. It was delicious and tender. The Alaskan Snow Crabs were amazing. We also had their off menu seafood gumbo. Definitely coming back. And their local brews were a perfect compliment. Reservations are recommended. And don't worry about the restrooms. They are small but clean. read more

This place was recommended to me by my coworkers. This was one of the best meals I've ever had in NOLA. It has a classic NOLA feel and the food is darn good. We ordered oysters, crawfish, shrimp and fried soft shell crab. Everything was perfect and tastes very fresh. This is definitely one of my top favorite restaurants in NOLA of all time. Service is great. However, they get very busy, so be prepared to wait. It is worth the wait and has the classic NOLA ambience. read more

Seither's is really trying but not meeting reasonable expectations. Tonight, the house seemed understaffed and that's problematic considering it's Friday during lent. After a 30 minute wait we were seated. Once we announced our order for the boiled seafood platter for two "The hamper", we were told there wasn't blue crab. The platter arrived before our appetizer; we had two ask for the dipping sauces after affirming we wanted them. We asked about the boiled potatoes that were supposed to come with the platter and were told the house was out. I mean it's 5-6pm on Friday and you're out of blue crab and potatoes. The shrimp was diffuse to peel as well as the snow crab. Crawfish was on point. Service was great, however. Staff was found to be pleasant and patient. A musician was on-hand; she was a delight. I will not be returning. Tighten-up, Seither's. read more

We got the $50 boiled seafood plate. It was supposed to come with crawfish, shrimp, snow crab, potatoes and corn. We weren't told they were out of shrimp when we ordered it and it wasn't until we asked about it that we were told they auto. subbed more crawfish. Not a big deal but I don't think we would have ordered the same thing if we knew shrimp would be omitted. Then we had to ask for potatoes, as those weren't on the platter either. The boiled seafood was great! Just the right amount of spice. And they are one of the few places in New Orleans with actual cocktail sauce, which we ultimately didn't need since they didn't give us shrimp. I would def go back. A sit down place with boiled crawfish is always a good find! read more

Price is great compared to other places. Service was also super friendly and nice. The food is decent but not exceptional. Of the three places I got fresh boiled crawfish at, this one was the cheapest at $4.99/lb but also was the least great (but still good). Got two pounds of crawfish and a pound of shrimp ($10.99) and a few corn ($4 for two pieces). The boil also has some mushrooms in it which was nice, and some onion and citrus and other stuff. Got a table inside and they also had a bunch of tables outside. I was disappointed that there were quite a few mushy/dead crawfish in the two pounds I ordered. Also, the corn was terrible, dry and flavorless, definitely not worth $4 for two half sized pieces. The crawfish was still decent overall and the shrimp was good too, just overall nothing special. The friendly service makes this 4 stars, because the food itself was probably closer to 3.5. read more

But this place is really gotten to be a dump. The bathrooms are terrible. The boil crawfish was actually actually really bad. I don't know what they put in their water, but it is nasty. The crabs were nice size but terribly under season. I really don't think I'll ever be back. read more

The service was great! We ordered take out and the staff was wonderful. The food was 10/10. We got the crawfish rangoons. I will say they were a little over priced considering you only get 8. We also got the Hamper, and wow! They were out of crawfish but gave us the option for extra shrimp or crab. The ambiance was okay, you could tell it was a small business doing their thing, but the food was amazing. read more

let me preface first with the statement that I have been multiple times at Seither's and always enjoyed the well seasoned crawfish, and the bustling environment. Alas! nothing stays the same. In my last visit, the crawfish was cold and rubbery, but what really made the whole experience uncomfortable was the dirty looks from multiple individuals as "you don't belong here". Yes, I am a minority, but it has been a long time since I felt not welcome in the place due to the color of my skin. I also understand that the restaurant cannot necessarily choose whom to serve. The service was good, and the waitress was mildly apologetic for the temperature of the crawfish. Unfortunately, I may try other places in the city from now on, not only for the crawfish, but also to feel welcome. read more

This little gem in Harahan is outstanding. First, you have the down home feel with the oyster shell parking lot. Second, their is the waitstaff that treats you like family rather than as a customer. Third, certainly not least, the amazing food. Their menu is unique but you can still taste the familiarity of local seafood. Then adding to a great experience is the live bands some nights. read more

Outstanding food and gracious service. Can't wait to go back! Pontchatrain and oyster Poboys was a hit!!

Finally open and I'm thinking of them at the same time. This has been on my try list for several years. Imagine my regret at all that missed tastiness. Mary says best eggplant napoleon she has ever had. Bisque was extra creamy and they used large shrimp. Delish! There was an herb that looked like clover on top of both dishes. Not sure it was additive to flavor but it was eye catching. I was told it was micro greens but they seemed unusually large. Table near us had soft shell crab blt. The bacon looked like ribbons on top of the sandwich. Beautiful presentation. Someone in the kitchen cares about food. Looking forward to my next trip. read more
