Fried Dill pickles
Robbin W.

Check out our waitress, Celina! Food was great and service was superb! Quaint relaxing atmosphere!

Fried Crab Cakes

Ordered crawfish baker and fried crab cakes for lunch. They looked completely different from my previous experiences. The sauce for both dishes were darker, broken/grainy, and had a very strong cheesy smell. Like Parmesan. I'm not sure what went wrong. I tried to eat them but couldn't finish. I woke up in the middle of the night with a bad stomach ache as well. I won't be returning. The portions seemed very small compared to what they normally are.

Excellent service and food was awesome like the location . Prices were what I would expect for food served

Five Stars. No notes. No regrets. Elastic waistband optional. From the moment you walk into StingRays, you don't feel like a customer -- you feel like you accidentally wandered into a place where people actually want you there. That's rare. That's sacred. That's New Orleans doing what New Orleans does best. Now let's talk about the menu. Not a menu. The menu. This thing has options for its options. You don't read it -- you negotiate with it. You make eye contact. You ask it questions about your life choices. So naturally, I start with a cup of gumbo. Listen... I've eaten gumbo all over New Orleans. I've had "legendary" gumbo. I've had "my grandma would slap you if you didn't like this" gumbo. This? By far the best gumbo in New Orleans. Balanced. Rich. Deep. The kind of gumbo that makes you pause mid-spoon and reassess past relationships. Then the chargrilled oysters showed up and New Orleans... we need to talk. This was hands-down the least messy, most flavorful, most dialed-in oyster experience I've had in the city. Sure, there are places that have put their stamp on being "the best in NOLA." Guess what, NOLA -- you've got competition. And I'm not talking "oh look, a new place opened, hope they make it." I'm talking about a business that's been around since 1997, survived a tech bubble, a hurricane (or three), a pandemic, inflation -- and is still turning out food and service like this. That's not luck. That's standards. Petty side note (but important): They serve Coca-Cola products. Not that over-sugared flat soda nonsense. Details matter. Now comes the main event: Zydeco Fish. Let me say this slowly so it sinks in properly: A fresh fillet of fish, butterflied, stuffed with crab meat dressing, deep fried (because joy), topped with a spicy shrimp cream sauce that could probably solve international conflicts. This dish doesn't just show up -- it arrives. Confident. Well-dressed. Knows it's good. Add a side of potato salad, which quietly steals the show like, "Oh, you thought I was just a side? That's adorable." Still got room? Try the key lime pie if you're a fan. And yes, I'm over-opinionated, so here's my take: Call your Aunt Regina. Tell her she can retire her recipe. Save her the stress of the next family reunion. Then go to StingRays, eat the pie, shake your head in disbelief that you ever considered eating elsewhere, and apologize to your friends and family for not bringing them sooner. Jamie was my server -- sweet like iced tea, patient with all my questions, and didn't oversell a thing. Just a calm, confident, "This is what we do." And they do it well. And here's the real kicker -- location. Right by the airport. Which means: * You don't have to gamble your flight time * You don't have to explain to your Uber driver why food matters more than punctuality * You can land, eat like royalty, and still make your gate without panic-sweating StingRays is comfort food without shortcuts, hospitality without fake smiles, and flavor without apology. If you're flying into or out of New Orleans and you skip this place, that's on you. Don't blame the city. Don't blame the plane. Blame your poor decision-making. Five stars all the way. I'd eat here again before my luggage even hits the carousel.

Let me state this straight up: A three star review in New Orleans, or the metropolitan area, is not a bad thing. Being a New Orleans native, I'm a tad bit harder on food around here because the culinary standards are set high in the land of Creole cuisine. The staff here is really friendly. You will not have a bad customer service experience. The food is decently priced and the portion sizes are decent as well. The reason for the 3 star review...well, you do not get that taste and flavor explosion you expect when eating food in New Orleans. The crab meat jalapeños were really well done, so no complaints there. The seafood platter left a lot to be desired. It was fried well, but as aforementioned, no flavor explosion. The mac and cheese was meh. Would I come back here? Possibly because the food isn't bad...it just isn't amazing. The banana foster cheesecake does have me wanting to try it...we will see what the future holds.

Crabby bloody Mary
Tanesha J.

I had to stop by and try their infamous Crabby bloody Mary but it was so cute, I almost didn't want to disturb it. Lol I had read some reviews prior to going which almost deterred me from stopping by, but I'm glad that I did. Upon entering, the staff was very welcoming & friendly, and I was able to get seating immediately as the restaurant wasn't crowded. I came on a Sunday afternoon so I'm not sure what the crowd is like any other day, especially the weekend. I'm glad that it wasn't crowded because it had just started to poor down rain, and all I wanted to do was get out of it. They also have a nice patio with outside seating. I ordered the fried shrimp & fish platter which comes with 2 sides and hush puppies. I got onion rings & Mac & cheese for my sides which were ok, but the food tasted like something you would get out of a diner. The hush puppies were really good, and I enjoyed the shrimp, but there was nothing spectacular about the meal. The highlight of my dining experience was the Crabby Mary, and it was tasty too. The soft shell crab on it was delicious. Glad I was able to stop by during my trip.

Order taken quickly at the counter: gyro wrap w/side of yellow rice, an order of Dolmas (8) and a soda. With tax & tip $34.88. Sat at a booth type table for comfort, only to discover we had to tip toe around the messy floor and I kicked away a ball of something rather than squish it. Husband said wrap was tasty but didn't remember they use a wrap instead of a pita for the gyro sandwich. (I had the gyro on our last visit.) Rice was good. My dolmas, however, were gross. I don't dip them in tzatziki, I typically like the taste. However, today the rice inside them was very, very gooey, as if they sat over the holiday. I ate 2.5 and threw the rest out. Someone came out to ask how things were but apparently didn't notice they were standing on rice. I didn't say anything about the dolmas, because by this time they were in the trash. Took home the remaining portion of the gyro, rice & tzatziki. Asked for a to go box, then asked again for lids for the sauce. Both times I interrupted someone playing on their phone, and the rest of the staff was hanging out talking behind the counter. Really wished they had taken the time to check the dining area.

My sister moved to Louisiana two years ago and has always said it's been hard to find truly great food, so we were excited to give this place a try--and it exceeded every expectation. The woman who took our order was one of the sweetest people we've met. She was so welcoming, patient, and made us feel right at home, which made the whole experience even better. The tostones were perfection--served hot and crispy on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside. The breakfast arepa was outstanding and paired perfectly with the fresh cilantro dipping sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you could tell everything was made with care. The restaurant itself was spotless, bright, and inviting, creating such a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy a meal. Great food, amazing service, and a clean environment are the perfect combination. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable breakfast. It was hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had, and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

I'm usually not a fan of trying people's arepa because either the masa is dry or altogether they aren't savory enough for my liking. This one on the contrary was so cheesy and packed with flavors that left me wanting and quite frankly needing more. Yall will be seeing me in here. I also tried these mangoneada which was good just personally I like more chile so I would just ask for some more hot sauce.

This will be a lengthy review. Its been a long time since we've been here. Nothing really major ,…read moremade us not come back. Its just one of those things. We met a good friend of ours here for lunch. His wife and US, would regularly go n out to eat with each other. It was a normal routine. His wife passed away suddenly about 8 months ago and he hasnt gone anywhere that whole time. She was my best friend. It was a pleasant surprise, when he agreed to have lunch with us. We decided to go to Zea's on W. ESPLANADE. It was obvious they were busy as most of the lot was full. The first thing we noticed was the new interior renovations. It was definitely brighter and open since the last time we were here. We finally got sat at a table, wasnt a long wait. Our server, (young lady named Taylor) was our server. She was very friendly, inviting personality and made you feel welcomed. We started off with drinks and the Hummus appetizer. Never seen a big appetizer like this, it was perfect for 3 even 4 ppl and very good. It was served with warm pita slices. I remember they served cucumber slices upon request, not sure if they still do that. The lunch entrees were Almond chicken salad for my wife. Our friend ordered the Thai rib plate and I had the Crispy duck. As far as I know, my food was excellent, the duck was well cooked and moist. The Thai ribs are usually always good, no doubt that has changed, I stole one of my friends ribs. It went to good use. My wife said the main salad was good, but she feels the chicken itself lacked flavor, but since this is my review, only my opinion matters, lol. The Thai ribs were very good. I love the corn grits and the zea potatoes. For me, I feel this was my best meal I've had all year so far. Would I come back? Heck yeah. You buying? I overall, love the change. The new menu and decor is a hit for me.

However, the food was sub par for the price. The hummus and pita Appetizer was delicious and we all thoroughly enjoyed. We had the Honey Island Chicken which was good but not $17 good. It came with basic, undercooked and unsalted fries. The daughter had the Philly Steak Panini which didn't look appealing and she said it was overly full of mayo which is mixed in with the meat. Our granddaughter had the Balsamic Salmon which looked so pretty and was delicious but it was almost $30 and came with 2 basic sides. The hamburgers were cooked well but still only came with a basic side and the fries were awful. The atmosphere was okay but a bit dark. Thankful we had the gift certificate because we all decided this was a one and done!
