Two for lunch, both ordering Po'Boys, mine grilled fish and my companion had the soft shell crab. Our waitress was great in making sure my dairy allergy was handled. Both sandwiches were tasty. The crab was maybe even a bit overwhelming--being so much soft shelled crab (not a complaint). This was a day trip to visit the beach and found Starfish Restaurant to be a good place to eat. The place was full of locals, very cafe-cozy-small-town-like, a homey spot. read more

If you're on a budget with a group, order the 24 pieces of chicken. It is the best deal I've ever seen. It could feed a nuclear family for 2 meals If you aren't, get a po-boy of basically anything. You will eat it & have the strong urge to fall asleep on the beach because of how filled you are This is the best restaurant I've ever been to. Fantastic prices, fantastic taste, & great service I would give my firstborn just to come back here one more time, and my firstborn says he would also give up his life to come again read more

Came to New Orleans on vacation and drove down here to go to the beach. That drive would've been worth it for this restaurant alone. gator po-boy was great, but the true beauty was the chicken. 24 mixed pieces for $33. Bring friends, bring an army. Fight the chicken. It took up half our table and even my vegetarian friend ate some. read more

What a fun place! On Grand Isle this is clearly the place where the elite meet to greet and eat after Sunday church! I've been a few times and never had a bad meal. I've dined with groups and -- despite the challenges this imposes on the kitchen and waitstaff -- had great meals. I've dined alone and had great meals. Starfish seems to be able to do it all. Couple of tips: 1) Do *NOT* skip the onion rings. You'll thank me later. 2) They have an ATM inside, but they also will take a credit or debit card. This confused some of my group members. If it's not too hot, the picnic tables in front make a wonderful Al Fresco dining experience, too! read more

Staying open till 9pm on weekday seems to be the mark of a place that wants your business, as many other restaurants on the island are closed. Glad they were open! Really enjoyed the food here. They were plenty busy and still made room for us. Fried seafood and burgers are the big draw here. They have a decent size menu as well. The portions are very generous. You get your money's worth here and shouldn't leave hungry. read more

We made a day trip down to Grand Isle today and decided we would try to hit a couple of restaurants. I'm glad we made it to this one. Service was fantastic. Prices are reasonable. The food was outstanding! It was one of the best cheeseburgers I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Another person enjoyed their steak. Kids menu has a bunch of choices. Great place to come with children. Super chill vibes. Make this stop when you come this way! read more

The deer tamales, burgers and pivots were all AMAZING! The service was fantastic too! Thank you, Olivia!

Popular local spot, ordered couple appetizers and the seafood platter with onion rings. The seafood platter (4/5) was better than the appetizers (3/5) and the onion ring (5/5) was great. Would suggest to call before heading over as the place may close earlier than the closing time Google/Yelp suggests. read more

My only complaint is to be ready to wait if you come here. We sat down before 9:30 PM on a Friday and didn't get our food until after 11. It does state on the menu to be prepared to wait up to 45 minutes for your order so it's only fair. Small place with a lot of seating, pretty nice menu. Went ahead and got the roast beef poboy, it lacked gravy a bit, and meat a lot. Tomatoes were sliced like 2" thick and I had a ton of pickles (not complaining about that), fries didn't have any salt but that's no issue. The flavor of the roast beef and little bit of gravy was good, just didn't have much gravy or meat. read more

The place is laid back which is nice. Food is okay. We ordered the seafood platter but it wasn't much to go on about. Im sure their burgers are better. The waitress was nice, but service was really slow. My FIL never got the water he ordered with his coffee. This place is okay for the area, but that's about it. read more

Came in with some fish and left with some fresh food! Wonderful place and they even will cook your catch! Beautiful people with good hearts! read more

Love local eateries and this one is just that. I stopped because there sign said fresh never frozen hamburgers and I am a sucker for good hamburgers. So I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and potato salad. Also got some chili cheese fries because why not. The burger lived up to the fresh not frozen. It was cooked well and seasoned well. The potato salad was definitely homemade which I love. It was seasoned perfectly and was just delightful. The fries left a little to be desired. Pretty sure they were not fresh made in house but I just wouldn't order that again. Plenty other stuff looked yummy on the menu. If you want good food and small town vibe this place is what you want. Little pricey for the type of restaurant but would come back. read more

Very casual atmosphere as well as the rest of Grand Isle. The waitress was very friendly with a good sense of humor. I ordered to Fried Shrimp Platter. It was pretty good! Shrimp were not huge but with the French Fries, I felt satisfied when I left. read more

THE BEST ONION RINGS! Omg! Their fried seafood is fresh and seasoned perfectly. My fiancé had the ribeye and he said it was the best ribeye he's had at a small restaurant. We make it a point to eat here multiple times per trip to grand isle. Bussin! read more

We were visiting Grand Isle on a three day weekend. It was Sunday night and we weren't sure if anything would be opened. Luckily Starfish Restaurant is opened until 8pm on a Sunday night. We shared the seafood platter, it comes with a side (we chose fries) and to our surprise even a side salad. The side salad was a refreshing surprise before bringing out the fried seafood platter. The seafood platter included fish, oysters, shrimp, crab, and sliced toast. read more

We love visiting the starfish while on our summer trips to grand isle. We literally dream about the corn nuggets!!! They are to die for. We made a weekend trip for the 4th of July and half the island was closed, which was surprising to us. We came Tuesday at lunch to starfish and it was packed! There was only 2 waitress, so we waited a long time for service. These ladies were running their butt off though! There was only one table available when we walked in and it was dirty. We sat down and within minutes someone came clean the table for us. She told us it would be minute and she was not lying lol. We sat for about 10 minutes with no menu, drinks, or service for awhile but we watched these ladies run around so busy so it was no issue. We got our drinks. The Dr. Pepper was flat, but we were scared to ask of another because it took so long to get the first one. We kept looking at the people around us, who got here way before we did, and they were just getting their food. When we finally got our food, it was absolutely worth the wait! The corn nuggets were just as I remembered them. So creamy and the ranch pairs perfect with them. The boudin egg rolls were also great. As our meal, we got the soft shell crab special with a seafood gumbo. The soft shell was awesome flavored. The gumbo was okay. It was lukewarm and the potato salad was not very good at all. No flavor. Overall, I will always return to the Starfish restaurant because those dang corn nuggets!! I can not get enough. If you make a trip here, you have to try a corn nugget appetizer. read more

Super service, great tasting food, friendly service. A must try in Grand Isle. Thanks!

Very good food, the staff was very busy and they did a great job. We got in their early and missed the lunch rush, and I'm sure the staff got overwhelmed as they were short on employees. read more

The salad was not fresh and the grilled shrimp wasn't hot. The service was ok not the best.

Went on a trip down to Grand Isle with a friend and spent the day chatting on the beach. It was great. After we went over to Starfish for dinner and it was way beyond expectations. I ordered the gumbo and an oyster poboy and both were delicious. The gumbo was good and the oysters were great and plentiful at a price that cant be beat. If you are ever in Grand Isle this is the place to it. So good it's almost worth the trip just for the food. This is a local mom and pop at its best. read more

This is actually one of the few places left to eat at on Grand Isle, good news is it's pretty good. Its your basic beach side menu place with very informal seating but the staff is very down-home, its a little like eating at your aunt Bettys, everyone seems to know everyone or at least pretends to. The gumbo is very good here as are most of the things I've tried over the years. Solid portions and lots of big boned boys eating here. The burger is very good however be sure to tell them your temp preference as otherwise the standard is pretty well done. A terrific place for lunch! read more

Stopped for a quick lunch today. Ordered off the menu on this site which was posted 7 months ago. My husband went in and picked up order. He came out with major sticker shock! I ordered 3 sandwiches and 1 lg onion rings. Looking at the menu it should have been around $45., we were charged $76. The food was fast and good, but not really worth $45, much less what we were charged. I did reach out in case it was a mistake before I rated, they have not responded. I will update my review if they contact me. read more

Delicious food served prepared to order & always fresh. Starfish also offers breakfast as well as daily specials. Local staff very friendly with attentive service. Atmosphere is casual & always welcoming. Highly recommend!!! read more

hard to beat this little place! I enjoy the softshell crab here and the fact that the locals also seem to come here often.

Love this place on the island! Great food, large portions, great value and friendly people - all a win!

Don't miss this place. We love the people, be kind as staffing is hard and they do get slammed.

Food was great. Service was great. Food taste homemade. I would visit again. The ambiance was good.

place was busy but not much to pick from in Grand Isle. Seafood plater was good. The fried oysters were best I've ever had. Pass on the Gumbo. Service was good read more

The gumbo smelled really goood! We got the seafood platter and it was... not great. It wasn't flavorful.. it just wasn't good. My friend came here before and said the burger wasn't great either.. can't say, but the fries were flimsy so I have to assume most of the food isn't great just because ours wasn't. The "nachos" were chips with cheese poured over them. Even the salad had the dressing that came in a fast food restraint container. Meh. Skip it for another place. read more

The staff was nice and the food was solid. Not the best seafood but still not bad. The fried mushrooms were the best thing. Fried oysters were pretty good as well as the fried fish. The jalapeño crab poppers weren't worth it. read more

Food was okay. Not worth 18$ for a simple cheeseburger fries and drink along with the service. From the time we had our order taken to leaving. The waitress had a bad attitude like she just didn't want to be at work or serving. I couldn't even get her attention to get a refill. After we got our food she didn't come to the table till she brought the ticket. And at one point I put my empty cup at the very edge of the table where her and multiple other waitresses passed and never got a refill. My buddy got up and had to go ask for one at the counter mid meal.Needless to say I never get mine. And they were not busy. Do not recommend this joint read more

Service was good and food too we ate breakfast too it was very good the biscuit where huge

I don't think there is a good reason as to why this food is utter shit. The gumbo tastes as if it was left in the washing machine for 3 weeks and grew mildew. I think I got cancer from the mold on it. Salad was good. They were trying to be different with the ranch by making it taste like a bathroom floor. For $30 I could have fed a country with good food. Service was 15 minutes for my two salads and shrimp gumbo read more
