The Blue Crab New Orleans

Favourite seafood place. everything is one must try (to be thrilled sometimes that I forget to make photos) all 6 weeks we visit this place to lunch or happy hour. (It's so close to my orthopedic that I can't resist whenever)

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 Crab Collins) was perfect for a summer day. We got the bbq shrimp and onion rings as appetizers the crab cake sandwich and combo seafood 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 can call ahead to be placed on the wait list but still will have to wait once you’re there. (This was mostly just frustrating to explain to a hangry grandma lol) There is an elevator which is great if you have an elderly person or someone who is mobility-impaired or disabled. It was busy on a Saturday lunch but nothing too much to cause an especially long wait. Our server was a very attentive and patient woman, and she gave great service (I think her name was something like Gloria It’s lovely to sit 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.

My first time there was May 26,2022 and it was cool. My second time there was April 8,2022 and I loved it. The waitress was very kind, on time, checked often with us to see if we was good.

Food was very very good. Portions were more than enough for one person per plate. Its on the water and made for a nice dinning environment.
