Absolutely fantastic service and food at Vera's. While traveling through Slidell, my group of 14 adult Scout leaders descended on Vera's at 8pm on a Saturday night and were fed an array of fantastic seafood. The staff was friendly and attentive. Don't miss this establishment in Slidell. read more

Stopped in for lunch, while passing through town on a 10 hour car trip. The service, and convenience from high way were great, and food outstanding. We started with crab claws and then had a very large cat fish po' boy, and 1/2 order of fried shrimp with a baked potato & salad; all were excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Came in last minute on a road trip. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the cat fish pontchartrain. My mom was skeptical with the special of a fried fish with a creamy crab sauce but she said was amazing. My granddaughter said her grilled cheese was so good she wanted to take the cook home lol. The service was top-notch. Our waiter, Ashley, was very friendly and attentive. The other waitresses were very nice and talkative even though it was closing time when we were leaving. The ambiance was perfect for our family dinner. read more

Looks small until you walk in. Nice fun decor. Food seemed really bland for me. Salad was pretty basic and the blackened fish I got, I needed to put hot sauce on. Fries needed salted and a lot of ketchup. Seemed odd that there was so little flavor in anything. Maybe I got unlucky. But food and menu sounded good read more

Today the food was abysmal. My first visit, five weeks ago was delicious. What happened in five weeks? I ordered the shrimp basket both times. The shrimp today were small and covered in a very thick bland batter and overwhelmed the flavor of the shrimp. I was so thick that I had to pull it off. The French fries were OK. Nothing special with frozen fries that are a bit under cooked. I also ordered the gumbo on my first visit and again today. Huge difference. The first time it was one of the best cups of gumbo I've had in awhile. Today it had an odd scorched and bitter taste. The absolute worst was the bread pudding. It looked like they scraped up the last little bits in the pan and half-a$$ed warmed it. Looked like messy garbage and tasted like it was left over a few days. The manager/owner? gave me $4 off for the bread pudding. I didn't ask for it, just complained that it wasn't something that should be served to customers. Today was my last visit. I won't return. read more

Fox News blasting at the bar, . I'm trying to eat, not hear political BS. Cockroach on the bar top as I got my food and the young staff was having fun swatting at it right next to my food, asked them not to do that. I was too hungry to not eat so I asked for it to go and left. Food was good (catfish Pontchartrain) but the cleanliness and bar TV is an issue. Will not be returning. read more

Hard to find but nice place to eat lunch. They have 4-5 lunch plates $13 fried shrimp, fried fish, chicken, hamburger steak. All come with fries and salad. Good portion for the money. Waitress was friendly and helpful! Will definitely go back and try something different for lunch read more

It was okay for what it was your usual seafood fare. The gumbo was the best part of the meal. It had a smoky taste to it and was absolutely wonderful. The server we had stayed on top of drinks and checking on us. The food was hot and fresh, but the shrimp was just a bit overcooked. We ate because we were hungry and it was there. I read the reviews and they said it was good so it may have been an off day that we went. We got the lunch specials and they are worth the price you pay for them. Checked out the restrooms and they are not exactly wheelchair friendly. You could possibly get one in the restroom but you would have to do quite a bit of angling of the chair. I may give it another shot sometime down the road but not unless I haven't tried other options first. read more

OMG !!!!! This is my first time here but it certainly will not b my last. It's about 1 and 1/2 from my house but Yeah it's good enough to drive here once a month just to eat here.. The best Crabmeat Augratin I've ever tasted, no fillers just big lumps of fresh crab and creamy delectable flavor, it was out of this world. The whole fried flounder was fresh and seasoned perfectly and scored so the bone didn't get in the way of eating, it came with 2 sides I got a salad and a baked potato. The shrimp and catfish ' pick 2 combo ' was delicious as well it was seasoned and cooked to perfection came with a salad and fries. read more

I'm sorry folks, I found the food over salted the two times I went, and that's a big turn off for me

The food was at best ok. The restaurant is obviously not terribly concerned with customer service as what looked like high school girls didn't really seem like they wanted to be there. read more

This was so Good! We got the baked appetizers Then we had the lobster special and the seafood platter. I'm posting the aftermath We destroyed it! Haha We are already planning to come back with friends read more

The food and service at Vera's was amazing. We had a seafood sampler plate which had chips, toast fish, shrimp stuffed crab, oysters all was perfectly prepared and delicious. The portion was large enough to feed two. Had the Daiquiri with creme hats off to the bartender on the drinks. Our waitress Kayla was so polite and gracious. The atmosphere is also very comforting. This is a definite place to have lunch or dinner when visiting Slidell LA. read more

The Chargrilled Oysters are some of the best I have had. The salads were also good. The Shrimp PoBoy is on point they let me have the ingredients on the side so I can build it to my liking. The sweet tea with lemon is delicious. Definitely a place to go to. Would definitely come back. read more

Although the hostess was a little clueless the rest of the service was good. I loved my entree but the gumbo was a bit off for me. It was took thick and almost had a purée consistency. read more

Absolutely love this place. Service is always fast and waitresses always friendly and professional. I love the fried speckled trout and fried shrimp Poboys. I would recommend this pace to anyone especially if you love seafood. Great restaurant that's been in Slidell a long time. read more

Found this restaurant on Yelp. It felt like old school! It was really delicious! I had the fried snapper with crabmeat sauce. Huge piece of fish! Husband had homemade stuffed crab. We haven't seen that on many menus lately. read more

Just not as good as it used to be! Wait staff subpar and unfriendly. Salads and onion rings were good, but have had much better soft shells elsewhere. read more

I really like this place they have good food we have eaten there several times we be going back for sure. Good service too.

on Gause Blvd. West in Slidell after they moved locations following Hurricane Katrina. He is an absolutely wonderful person! Very kind. This restaurant is a very pleasant place to go. The atmosphere is nice. Unique cajun motif I love to suggest this restaurant to people who don't know the area because it is a nice experience overall. read more

This place is so good. Stuffed crab done correctly. Actually stuff in a crab shell. Artichoke and Shrimp soup. Full of shrimp. Very delicious. Fried shrimp basket was perfect plus came with a side salad. Friendly staff. Try this spot. read more

Overall:4.0 Also found this place on Yelp and went checked it out. Generally speaking it is pretty good. Relaxing atmosphere, clean, attentive staff with reasonable prices. I had the catfish pontchartrain and it was pretty good...a bit bland for my taste personally. The Fried seafood always done amazingly well, with really good much better than average hush puppies. The stuffed crab was exceptional, actually stuffed with crab meat as opposed to just breading like most places. The hamburger steak was really good as well. I will come here again for the seafood platter and hamburger steak. Value: 3 Product Quality: 3 Service Quality: 4.5 Overall Experience: 3.5 Would I recommend?: Yes My Rating Key 1:Avoid this Place 2:Not for me 3:Take it or leave it 4: I will come again 5: Highly recommend! (These are rare) read more

There are great seafood restaurants in Slidell. This isn't one of them. I think that the fried seafood here tastes like grease and old grease at that. Like it's been used over and over for days and days. The crabmeat au gratin app is good, but that's not worth a trip here, in my opinion. You could easily make that at home. It's overpriced and just not worth it. The service is good and the atmosphere is nice, but honestly, I'd skip it if I were you. read more

We looked up restaurants in the area not from here. It didn't look like much from the sign & walking in it looked kinda old. Our food thou was amazing I got a steak medium rare & it was blackened just right & just perfect amount of juice. Spouse got the blacked shrimp pasta & again it was perfect! read more

Excellent local seafood restaurant. Large portions, tasty fresh local seafood and friendly staff make Vera's a local favorite!

Great place for real home style/local seafood. We have eaten and take out ever since it reopened in the new location after Katrina.

Very good food, tried several dishes. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Exactly what you would expect for a Cajun seafood restaurant. Definitely worth a try. read more

This is, by far, one of my favorite restaurants. The food is fresh and delectable. The staff are friendly; they make you feel like old friends or family every time you visit. The restaurant is clean and well kept. You can't go wrong with Vera's. They have 2 locations; one on Gause/190 in Slidell and the other is on Hwy 59 in Abita Springs. read more

My time at Vera's was our first stop on a 11 hour trip from Kansas! The salad was super fresh and super cold as it should! The Fry's on my fried oyster plater we rather bla and the oysters were sub par ! The service lady's in the front of the house are top of there game! I would go back to try something else read more

We had to be in-and-out of New Orleans pretty quick, but wanted a taste of Louisiana on our way out of town. We were passing through Slidell and discovered Vera's. We ordered a Shrimp Po Boy and Catfish Dinner. We enjoyed it. Catfish was chewy, but it was still good. I enjoyed the atmosphere, though it was kind of dark. We walked away happy! Good service, great decor, and good food! read more

Always good food. My experience with Vera's is always on pointe. The reputation of food and service are excellent

The food is great. The menu is small we had a party of 6 and was seated fast and the food came out fast and hot. It would have been a five star if they had more items to choose from. That is the only down side of the place. Staff was friendly and service was great. read more

Vera's Seafood - The seafood platter was mouth watering - Seafood Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

First time eating here, the service was good. I got the seafood platter with a baked potato unfortunately the potato was half cooked and cold which they did replace, all the seafood was cooked good except the catfish was soggy as if the grease was hot enough or been sitting for awhile. The spinach artichoke dip was really good, I'm not a complainer so we let it be. That is why I only gave a 3 star read more

We eat here about twice a week. Have never had a bad plate and the service is great. It's a real down to earth and warm like home.

Ate there for dinner on our way from Texas to Florida. Fried shrimp were delicious. Soft shell crab was also good although I am pretty confident it had been frozen even though they said it was fresh. I would definitely return for the shrimp. They have a full bar but no happy hour or evening dinner specials the night we were there. read more

The server took too long to get my order. I ordered gumbo and it was good. I also order half and half and got stuffed crab and shrimp. The shrimp was good also. The stuffed crab. Was the worst tasting food I have ever had. After taking one bite of it it made me not want to eat anything else. Do to it being overpowered with spice that that is all I could taste. If you go here do not order the stuffed crab. read more

During the pandemic Veras offered curb-side pickup as well as inside dining. There is hand sanitizer at the door and seating is spaced well. As usual the food is great and there is a choice of a $10.00 lunch every day. The staff is courteous and attentive which makes them eligible for a nice tip. Remember tipping because the wsiters do not make a large salary so tipping makes it possible for them to earn a living. read more

Realy, really good!!!! Great variety of meals and really good dessert menu!!!!! Worth going out of the way for!!!!

I got the alligator sausage (very good) as an appetizer and got the gumbo. It wasn't busy on Mon. The service was good and the atmosphere was very chill. My only complaint was that a lot of the cracker packages were already open and so were the peppermints in the front too. read more
