Reviews for The Blue Crab Restaurant New Orleans in New Orleans, LA
Incredible happy hour deals on oysters and drinks! This alone makes it one of our favorite spots to eat whenever we come to... NOLA. It's certainly not fancy, but we didn't come here for for that. Service was extremely good and fast. Will be back forsure! Read more
Beautiful day in New Orleans today so we decided to go have dinner by the lake. Finally I got a chance to eat at The Blue Crab.... It?s usually too busy during the weekend. The food was delicious. We had the fried oysters and catfish. Serving size was goodbecause you get side I wanted a salad but you can get French fries, veggies and more. The calamari was probably my favorite ofthem all. I?ll need to come back to try other items from the menu. Read more
Really enjoyed the fish and macaroni. The gumbo was good but maybe missing something that prevents it from being amazing. A... little under $78 pre tip for two entrees, coke, and an alcoholic beverage isn?t too bad. The views of the water are calming. Thewait was about 30 minutes on a Friday so it was worth it. Everything on the menu looked good. Next time I?ll try somethingfried. Read more
This restaurant is lovely. The server was excellent and the food was absolutely delish. The Blue Crab Platter was great and I... requested the catfish and shrimp to be grilled. We also substituted the fries for sweet potatoes fries. The chargrilled oystersare the best! We sat outside on the upstairs patio and the view was amazing. We were entained after dinner at the ground levelwith a great band. I highly recommend this restaurant ???? Read more
Considering that I'm a local, I was impressed with this experience. We had a group of 17 and they don't take reservations for... groups over 10 or 12. I called Seth, the manager on duty just to give him a heads up that we were still coming. Seth was a rockstar and was as accommodating as he could be for our large group. We started early (5:30pm) with drinks in the upstairs bar areaand were eventually seated at two tables near each other. We ordered lots of appetizers and main courses but the standouts forme were the Shrimp and Grits and the Seafood Pasta. Both were excellent! This is also a nice place to catch a sunset and hearsome live music. Read more
As a local, I somehow had managed to never dine here?but very glad I finally have! I brought my foodie grandmother who loves... this place, and we were pleased with the overall experience. The food was delicious and plentiful, and my drink (Blue CrabCollins) was perfect for a summer day. We got the bbq shrimp and onion rings as appetizers + the crab cake sandwich and comboseafood platter for entrees. I would recommend any of those options, although the fried seafood wasn?t my favorite of all time.Plenty of tables and a live band downstairs. I will say, it is a little annoying to not be able to make a reservation?you cancall ahead to be placed on the wait list but still will have to wait once you?re there. (This was mostly just frustrating toexplain to a hangry grandma lol) There is an elevator which is great if you have an elderly person or someone who ismobility-impaired or disabled. It was busy on a Saturday lunch but nothing too much to cause an especially long wait. Our serverwas a very attentive and patient woman, and she gave great service (I think her name was something like Gloria?) It?s lovely tosit and watch the boats go by! We will definitely go back!

The food was really good. The staff was very welcoming. I had the grilled catfish with mixed veggies. The catfish was good... really well. The mixed veggies were soft but not too soft. I sat outside and it is a great view of the lake. Read more
