8 Neighborhood Restaurants New Orleans Has Relied On During COVID - Eater New Orleans

"Now two years old, this Earhart Boulevard shop is the revival of pre-Katrina fried catfish destination Barrow’s Shady Inn, and has quickly become just as important to the city. The Johnson family instituted a carhop model in Barrow’s parking lot following the closure of restaurant dining rooms, offering “full curbside service” for its perfectly fried fish and more, Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m." - Clair Lorell

Barrow’s Catfish Opens - Eater New Orleans

"Nearly 13 years since Hurricane Katrina, Barrow's Catfish announced Wednesday that it will swing open this Friday, July 6, at 10 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting followed by regular service at 11 a.m. The restaurant, originally called Barrow's Shady Inn, opened in 1943 and made a name for itself with its fried catfish (fried catfish was the only entree and potato salad was the only side at the original location) and the new name, Barrow's Catfish, celebrates that. Though catfish is still king on the menu, the new eatery will also serve fried shrimp, crawfish bread, gumbo, and more." - Stephanie Carter

This place was excellent. Stopped by with the hubby and we will be back. The food was fresh, the catfish was fried to perfection, the shrimp (just added to the menu) were perfect. The French fries were the best (thin and delicious). The drinks were strong (carbonated). This a black owned business and I fully support it. The music and the setting is date day perfect.

This place was awesome. I could not believe how authentic the food was. I had the lamb chops, which was special for that day. They were so delicious. My sister had the catfish. Did I mention that they give a large portion. Make sure you try the K J crab claws. So delicious. I can’t wait to return back to New Orleans just to eat here.

This place was amazing and so was are server. She was able to describe the dishes well with recommendations. We had the corn chowder, gumbo, and stuffed bell peppers for the appetizers, and for the entrees we had the oysters Poboy and the Cajun pasta. All of it was delicious

5 Stars = Service 5 Stars = Food I ordered the crawfish pasta with a fillet on top. The fish was seasoned too perfection and fried right, not to hard or soft. The pasta sauce was a heavy whipping cream/cheese sauce blend with a few spices and very flavorful. My husband ordered the shrimp and fish Po Boy and he enjoyed it. He mentioned bread was very soft. Tarter sauce is good! Food came fast. Highly recommend this spot if looking for some good catfish!

Incredible food. We had the charbroiled oysters to warm up, and for my entree I had a poboy, half fried shrimp and the other half fried catfish. For the absolute quality of the food and the amount of food we got it is so worth the price. It was all so good and the service was awesome. We will absolutely be back.

I had a fantastic meal here. Saw this restaurant on a list from Eater and decided to try it while in town for work. Had a wonderful experience and was certainly the best food I had while I stayed in New Orleans. The owner came to greet us after our meal and was incredibly friendly and kind. Crab claws were fantastic and the crawfish cheesy pasta was even better. HIGHLY recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed my redfish pasta! The blacked fish and shrimp was a little on the salty side but I still happily stuffed myself. My arnold palmer was sadly really sweet. I sipped and added a whole cup of water as I went and it was still sweet. The corn and crab bisque was great. The catfish and shrimp platter was enough for her to have leftovers but the fried seafood was surprisingly under seasoned in my opinion. Id still return and try another meal when in town.

After everyone raving about the catfish I had to try this place while in New Orleans. Food was cooked fresh , catfish perfectly seasoned and fluffy. Friend had the bisque and she enjoyed it as well. She also ordered a new item on the menu the half rack of ribs. She noted they were a bit tough but seasoned well. Portions are plentiful ordered the classic and had enough for the next day. Staff is very friendly and courteous. I'll def return.
