The food was so fresh and amazing. The gumbo was so flavorful. The place itself was clean, and the staff were welcoming a patient. The shrimp was cooked to perfection and didn't feel insanely heavy as it probably should've been. Po'Boy was also dressed really well and paired perfectly with hot sauce. read more

First time coming here. Based my decision off other reviews on here. I highly recommend this place!! The two dishes I had (gumbo and shrimp po boy) were some of the best I've had! Gumbo was very flavorful and the shrimp po boy was loaded!!! The bread was crusty yet soft!! The best part of my visit here was the staff. They were very welcoming and made me feel at home!! read more

Always 5 stars.. if you haven't been here you have to get here. I know there's a lot of other po boys restaurants a lot more famous and popular in New Orleans but I'd put this place up against them any day. Easy location to get to as well. Everything is read more

I got the shrimp on a bun special to go and it was sooo delicious. I ate the entire thing with a little tartar and hot sauce. It came with fries and I ordered the onion rings to try. Note: if you order onion rings, eat them inside because the texture will change when placed in a container. Can't wait to come back and enjoy one of their poboys! read more

Place was pretty good to hit up right after landing. I did dock a star because it wasn't very clear that poboys could be ordered in smaller portions or what came as a combo. Because of this, we ordered poboys and had to pay extra for shrimp and much of our meals went to waste. Additionally, I ordered the fried catfish and shrimp poboys and the shrimp tasted fresh out the gulf, which sounds good, but it's not. I don't want to taste the gulf. Otherwise, everything g was good. The poboys and fries. I'd recommend the hot sausage poboy over the seafood poboy. read more

This is really a great place. Clean and organized where the food is made fresh. Best casual restaurant in this area. Daily specials as well. read more

I've been going to this wonderful joint since they first opened when I was in high school, and it has either been consistently great or gotten better since. There has never been a visit to town where I haven't made time to stop by here to grab a shrimp po-boy. I know I reviewed it a year ago, and this is just to confirm that it's still one of the best in the entire New Orleans metro area. Even more, the owners are great, always remember me and ask about me and my family, and are just lovely people in general. This is a definite must! read more

We flew in from Tampa and needed something to eat before our drive to Baton Rouge. Williams seafood was just the place. We ordered shrimp po boy and a roast beef in the 6 inch size and they were much larger. Everything was fresh and made to order. I needed at least 10 napkins to eat my roast beef. It was dripping with gravy. Yum. The shrimp were amazing and I loved the bread. The only thing was the onion rings were simply ok. Service was excellent and the restaurant was small and clean. read more

My experience at Williams Seafood was delightful. I went in the afternoon when it was nearly empty and ordered a po-boy of half shrimp and oysters that was prepared quickly, was absolutely delicious and a very generous portion size. The decor was cozy and filled with interesting pictures and articles. The proprietors were very friendly and accommodating, and I wouldn't hesitate to suggest this place to anyone interested in fresh seafood. read more

Pro-boys were good and crab and corn bisque was good but I'm kind of disappointed they charged me 1.00 to have some toppings on the side....!?!? Toppings that come on it...to have them on the side instead of on it it costs a dollar!?!? Make it make sense ! read more

Shrimp PO boy is #1 my girlfriend and I found this place by accident and I've been in the area my entire life and never knew how awesome the poboys are here!!! Food is always hot and fresh and service is amazing! Try the roast beef too... read more

We had a party of 3 and the food quality was very good. We had gumbo which had lots of shrimp and other seafood. We also had small shrimp po-boys. All the food arrived steaming hot to our table. I would recommend to any seafood lover. Small seating area with limited seating. Also have kids meals for the kids. read more

Had some time to kill in the area and needed to eat something. Stopped in and ordered a Shrimp Pooboy, hush puppies and fries. Massive portions! Everything was excellent and delicious. Restaurant is small but cozy and nice. I could see it getting crowded real quick though read more

Have a 3hr layover at home, why not go get something local to eat. The cashier was cool and I dined in and received good service. The setup is relaxing with the music playing in the background while I ate. My sandwich was a solid 5.7/10 and that's not a bad rating. I am a local and there are soooo many good spots to get a poboy. This was great for the convenience and the price was good. read more

The food is freshly prepared. I had shrimp po boy WOW. Shrimp was so fresh tasting. Not greasy Not chewy. Just right. My son did the Philly Steak and they allowed without complaint customization...aka leave off the onions. Service was no fuss not pretentious. The whole restaurant is classic neighborhood hangout. Almost reminded me of hanging out at lake or beach... just in the city and no water nearby Will come again. read more

Came highly recommended by the young lady in the rental car check out booth. Safe area, tight parking, limited seating. Don't be fooled by the outside, staff is great and restaurant is clean. Big menu filled with Cajun faves. The skrimp po boy was delicious, boudin balls were a little well done, but still good. read more

In town for work wanted to eat something local so found Williams Seafood near my hotel. Ordered the shrimp Po Boy Sandwich. It was good but don't think it was local Gulf shrimp (frozen maybe). It was on a hamburger bun not a hogi roll. Onion rings were very tasty. Service was both good and not so much. The lady taking my order stopped 3 times in my giving it and hollered to someone in the kitchen. Small dining room I was the only person eating in although several people came in to get takeout orders read more

Delicious, freshly made food! Anytime we fly into New Orleans, we have to drive over here and grab some catfish and shrimp poboys. It's a small place but has been delicious every time. The food takes a few minutes to come out, but that's because it's fried fresh and piping hot! My mouth is watering just thinking about the catfish and shrimp!! read more

The food was really good. The service was okay. You walk in, place your order, when the food is ready they bring it to the table. The space is small, so you can't get completely comfortable. I'd definitely go, but it's just okay. Over all. read more

Arrived shortly after opening time and there was no one at the front counter for around 15 minutes, despite my calls to the back. The gentleman who eventually took my order appeared sullen and unwelcoming. A limited amount of ketchup was provided with my order of seafood and fries, and the menu stated that there is an extra charge for extra sauce. The tables lacked condiments and napkins. The food was average. Not a place I would recommend. read more

The gumbo and shrimp poboys were delicious. Big shrimp and gumbo full of seafood. Very clean and helpful employees.

No French Bread Served At This Place. They served a po-boys on Vietnamese bread which is about 7 inches of length not 12 or 11. The french fries are soggy and they usually short on stuff so you have to check your order before you leave. Sometimes they give you limes instead of lemon. Crazy right!!! read more

The gumbo is good. The fried shrimp is my favorite. Juicy and plump every time i have ordered it. I like the fries. Good catfish on bun. Things taste clean to say its fried items. The workers are friendly and my order is never been wrong. read more

Excellent and fresh food, great prices. Wonderful service. Had the catfish box and the catfish was so fresh and perfectly fried. Will definitely return the next time I'm in Louisiana! read more

My husband and I knew we were a little crazy for going to a place that sells a lot of fried seafood, an hour and a half before they closed, on Good Friday. Sure enough, they were crazy busy and several menu items were sold out. However we were able to order/ an order of hush puppies, a small shrimp poboy, and a shrimp and oyster seafood plate with fried okra. Everything was fried to perfection. Nothing was over cooked. It all needed some salt, but other than that it was delicious! I would happily return to try other menu items. Also, even though they were crazy busy, everyone was very friendly. read more

My sister was visiting from California & I picked her up in NOLA; we both wanted some good cajun food, but no tourist traps! Williams seafood did not disappoint, it's been 3-4 months now & I cannot recall exactly what we ordered, but I know two fantastic po-boys (probably a shrimp & half shrimp/oyster) & a couple of cups of fabulous Gumbo & a fried appetizer (pickles I think) appeared on or table in exchange for a mere ~$37... WOW! Good bye forever to stupid, overpriced touristy joints when I'm visiting NOLA. Williams seems to be a locals joint, as many patrons came in & were immediately greeted by first name. Williams deserves high-praises: friendly/locals type of service with first-name recognition, excellent quality food prepared well &all for a reasonable price, I will be back! I also recommended Williams to my youngest son & his girlfriend when they were in NOLA a few weeks later & they both said it was awesome!. It's counter service for ordering & a bit of a smaller seating area, but our food came out quick, hot & fresh with no seating or or other negative issues - give Williams a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

One of the best shrimp sandwiches (on bun) that I've had in a long time. It was just perfection. Big perfectly fried deveined shrimp - almost too hot to eat- on a brioche bun. Yum!! And the fries were amazing. Also perfectly cooked, hot and crunchy. - and never got soggy! Stayed crunchy til the end. It's a walk up to counter, order, sit down at one of 7 tables and your food is brought to you. Not fancy - food is delicious! I have passed this little place for years on my way to Rouses, and never stopped. I will definitely plan to eat here in the future. I got a shrimp sandwich combo with fries and fountain drink for $11. It was worth the price. read more

First, shot out to my niece for referring me here. I enjoyed a delicious lunch here on my way to the airport. Let me start with the staff being pleasant and welcoming. I ordered the catfish and shrimp meal with a salad. It was delicious. The batter on the fish was different and absolutely delicious. I will be back when I'm in New Orleans again. read more

The owners are AWESOME. This is a mainstay of the community for people that have high standards. Food is so fresh. This is my GO TO shrimp poboy. None better. I mean that!! The space is cozy. Food is ripping hot. Dong Phong bread. Be good to them - you'll be family! read more

My love for New Orleans food has been irrevocably destroyed due to William's Seafood. They used small bait shrimps with veins on my Shrimp PoBoy and it was disgusting. Unacceptable! I high tailed it back to California to vote for Trump and vowed never to return. read more

Might have been the food delivery service but when I received it the poor boy was cold, fries were soggy and drink was hot.

While getting my nails done on yesterday I noticed this little seafood restaurant next door. I told my nail tech I've been wanting some good grilled seafood. Didn't do a normal over the phone order. I ordered at the counter. The woman that were taking orders was a ball of delight. Customer Service was magnificent. I ordered the Grilled Catfish & Shrimp Platter w/jambalaya and a size of potato salad. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. I didn't need to add anything extra. The portion size was tremendous. This place come highly recommended. Great for dining in or take out. read more
