I finally tried the crawfish. There was a 15 minute wait on a new batch. They have window bench seating available. The building seemed clean. I would return to try other cooked items. I purchased 5lb crawfish and a few bags of corn and potatoes. The crawfish were spicy but not flavorful. The corn had no seasoning. The potato's were cut like I prefer but they also lacked flavor. I personally wouldn't return for crawfish.

Their fried rice and popcorn shrimps were surprisingly delicious They close at 8pm but usually the crawfish is sold out at 7pm so get there early Clean and Quick services with reasonable prices Friendly people

The fried catfish and fried butterfly shrimp are best I have ever eaten. It is served with fried rice which is off the chart.

The Captain's Platter comes loaded with fries, slaw, hushpuppies, and the honey butter roll that got me rolling. They don't just stop at fried seafood either; they also have crawfish étouffée, shrimp & grits, and po'boys on Gambino's bread keep things real Louisiana. Simple, flavorful, and straight to the point. This is the definition of comfort food. Tonylameats Approved @Cork's Fish & Shrimp

I had no idea. Corks was owned by the same people. One of my friends who works at Coy-Yon's in West Baton Rouge told me that I could still get that potato pretty easily on Government Street. I guess this is basically the same thing as our restaurant in Port Alan instead of barbecue, they specialize in fish and shrimp. I did get shrimp as my protein for the potato and it was delicious Definitely go, give it a shot. The server was very nice and friendly. Parking very simple. Interiors mostly white. They've got some art on the wall, looks like it's done locally. Most mostly of their other restaurant. If I had to complain and be picky, I would say take that Christmas tree down. I always find the tacky when restaurants or businesses leave their Christmas tree up all year. It's never the flex they think it is. But who cares. The food is good.

The place is literally a shack, but that's how you know it's legit. It has a pretty cool vibe…read moreinside and out for those dining in. The menu offers a variety of seafood boil combos to choose from, all smothered in their signature Cajun sauce and garlic butter. I ordered the Special #3, which came with snow crab, shrimp, potatoes, corn, and an egg. I'd recommend getting the sauce on the side so you can control how much you use and avoid it becoming too salty. The seafood boil itself was perfectly seasoned, so the sauces felt more like a flavorful bonus.

I loved the way this place was decorated, the inside looked super nice and had a really good vibe…read more Definitely a 10/10 on the atmosphere and setup. But the customer service honestly threw me off a little. It was my first time there trying something new, so of course I had a few questions, but the cashier acted like I was bothering her just for being curious. That kinda killed the experience for me. Now the food itself actually looked pretty good, so I can't fully judge the menu yet. The only thing I ended up ordering was one of their sauces, and honestly... it just wasn't it for me. The taste felt off and I wasn't really feeling it. I probably would've stayed and tried the actual food, but with the attitude and overall customer service, I just didn't even feel like sitting down and eating anymore. Hopefully it was just an off day, because the place definitely has potential.

And the fact…read morethat you have that much time on your hands to TEXT yourself imposing as someone else trying to prove a point how "clean" your establishment is, is ridiculous and absurd!!! And shows how disgusting your place of business really is. SEE UPDATED PHOTOS BELOW! On March 23, 2025 I purchased crawfish from B&T seafood and was absolutely horrified to find a hair scrunchie with actual hair still tied to it mixed in with my food. This is beyond disgusting and completely unacceptable. It raises serious concerns about the establishment's hygiene, food safety, and overall cleanliness. What made this situation even worse was how the business responded. When I brought this to their attention, they showed no concern, no accountability, and no professionalism. Instead of apologizing or offering any type of resolution, they responded with dismissive, passive-aggressive remarks, essentially telling me I'd be "surprised" by the things people find in food--as if a scrunchie with someone's hair in it is a normal or acceptable occurrence. I am disgusted, disappointed, and frankly, traumatized by this experience. Not only was my food completely inedible, but the business also refused to acknowledge the severity of the issue. They have made no attempt to resolve this--no refund, no apology, nothing. Their lack of basic hygiene and their unprofessional attitude make it clear that they do not value their customers' health or trust. I am filing this complaint because this business needs to be held accountable for its negligence. A hair scrunchie in food is not a small mistake--it is a serious food safety violation that should never happen in any restaurant. I expect this matter to be addressed immediately. I urge the BBB to investigate this establishment, as their complete disregard for cleanliness and customer safety is deeply concerning. No one should have to go through this kind of experience when purchasing food.

They are conveniently located on Government Street near the Garden District. There's parking out front and in the side. Their seafood options include boiled crawfish is season, and these are very good indeed. I find their fried catfish excellent as is their shrimp. In a recent visit, my friend had them make her a blackened shrimp and blackened alligator plate as her combo and I was jealous! I recently tried their BBQ as I usually get seafood and was very pleasantly surprised. The ribs were really outstanding. While the main courses are always the star of the show, their sides need to be discussed as well. My favorite is probably the cabbage which is sautéd till crisp tender. The beans and rice could be a main course, but are excellent as sides. Cornbread tops off the meal.
