We went for the gumbo tasting, it did not make the cut. But we also tried our luck at the crawfish. Let me tell you something.. as a matter of fact, I don't have to tell you nothing.. the crawfish flavor speaks for herself! They did their absolute thing with this boil for the crawfish.. me and my bestie.. sang, danced in our seat and sucked the heads off dem damn crawfish! 10/10 .. would recommend

The have a $19 plate that comes with crawfish, shrimp, sausage, corn & potato i think. Now I gotta go back to the Westbank location to see if they have sliders & blueberry lemonade lol they stop taking food orders at 6p during crawfish season but they close at 7p.

Solid seafood boil but nothing special than any other boil spot I've done to…read more Idk if it was a NOLA thing but no crawfish in stock as I guess we were end of season. Most seafood boil spots still have a supply so on that alone I probably wouldn't return.

Hot N Cajun was easily one of my favorite seafood stops in New Orleans! From the moment that…read moresteaming seafood boil bag hit the table, I knew we were in for a good meal. This was my first time having noodles added to a seafood boil, and let me tell you--they were a GAME CHANGER. The noodles soaked up all that rich, buttery Cajun sauce and seasoning, making every bite ridiculously flavorful. I honestly don't know if I can order another seafood boil without noodles now! Our boil was loaded with crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn, and egg, and everything came out piping hot and covered in sauce. The seafood was flavorful, the portions were generous, and once we dumped everything onto the tray, it was officially time to get messy. What I really appreciated was how well everything worked together. The noodles weren't just an unnecessary add-on--they caught all that extra sauce that normally gets left at the bottom of the bag. Do yourself a favor and add them! Come hungry, roll up your sleeves, and don't wear anything you're afraid to get Cajun sauce on. Hot N Cajun delivered exactly what I wanted from a New Orleans seafood boil: hot, messy, saucy, flavorful, and satisfying. The noodles alone made this one memorable. Definitely coming back!

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!

Sit at the oyster bar and let Frederick take care of you!…read more We usually eat at dragos for grilled oysters but came here for the first time a year ago and loved the oysters and the drinks! I even told my husband that I thought these were better than dragos. He wasn't so sure and said they were close. We visited New Orleans again this past weekend and had dragos first and then came to Desire. These were definitely better than Drago's! The sauce they use is delicious and the oysters themselves super fresh. We came back again because of how good they were. Thank you to Frederick for showing us how they get shucked and some details on what goes into the sauce. We had a good time sitting at the bar talking with him. Thank you!!!

Went to Desires Oyster Bar on Bourbon Street and ordered the catfish…read more The catfish was just so-so. The crust was flaky instead of the traditional cornmeal coating, and it didn't have the Southern-style flavor I was expecting. The fries were the highlight of the meal--they were well seasoned and tasted great. The corn fritters also had really nice flavor and were enjoyable. The customer service was excellent, and the restaurant has plenty of seating, including a nice outdoor patio area. Overall, the service and atmosphere were great, but the catfish didn't quite meet my expectations.

The champagne was solid and it really was a good bang for your buck. The oysters were ok. Now for the ambiance. It was dead in there so a lot of the staff was chillin. One guy behind the bar was talking with his friend about his relationship issues and I felt like I was too close in proximity for him to be talking that openly. He seemed to be having a bad day cuz he did not look happy to be shuckin no oysters. (Sorry brotha). The younger girl was very sweet tho. Overall, I'd go again but maybe with a group of friends to enhance the ambiance.

We ordered wicked edamame, a cup of gumbo, cup of crawfish, étouffée, french fries, and char, grilled oysters. The gumbo and the crawfish étouffée were just barely above room temperature. The flavors were delicious, but it needed to be warmed up some. The fries were some of the best I've ever had, they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The edamame was also delicious full of garlic. The char grilled oysters were not that good compared to Drago's Overall good place

A Seafood Spot We Keep Coming Back To!…read more My husband, my daughter, and I have been going to Boil Seafood House for the past few months, and so far, we've really enjoyed every visit. It's definitely become a place we keep coming back to. We usually get the seafood boil with snow crab legs, and this time we went with the medium heat and butter garlic flavor. Everything was really good and full of flavor. My husband and I got the potatoes as our sides, while my daughter got the boiled eggs. We also ordered a side of French fries to share, and let me just say... we ate those so fast that I completely forgot to take a picture! They were good! I also like the whole seafood boil experience here. They offer you a bib and gloves if you want them, which definitely comes in handy when you're getting into those crab legs. The service has been good every time we've visited, and the atmosphere is always lively. One of the coolest things happened after we had finished eating. Someone came around offering little samples for people to try, and they stopped by our table and asked if we wanted to try the soft-shell shrimp. I'm not sure if it's something new on the menu or just something they were serving as a sample, but we said yes -- and I'm so glad we did! That shrimp was delicious! It literally melted in my mouth. I'm usually not a big fan of eating anything with the shell still on, but this was so good that I didn't even mind it. Definitely not what I expected, and it was probably one of my favorite little surprises of the visit. I didn't take a ton of pictures this time, but I'll share the few that I did get. So far, Boil Seafood House has been a winner for us, and since we've enjoyed every visit, We'll be back again for another seafood boil!
