Bon Temps Boulets Seafood

My husband and I found this seasonal GEM, and we have been obsessed for the past 4 years. The crawfish are chef’s kiss , and DO NOT sleep on the Brisket sandwich. Pay attention to the special’s of the day, too. We have never been disappointed. The Boulet’s rock! Oh yeah, there is always something good in the daiquiri machine. Ask for a sample. Guarantee you will order one. 🦞🦞🦞

I drove over from Mobile on a Monday and didn’t realize so many places weren’t open on Mondays. Called around looking for crawfish and found this place had some available but limited. I talked to Sissy on the phone and she told me I better hurry up they were almost out. She held me a plate and they were AMAZING! Sissy hooked me up with the best bugs and great conversation. Highly recommended and I’ll definitely come back when i’m in the area.

Craving a lil Nola and crawfish ... THIS WAS AWESOME!! perfectly cooked, Cajun garlic butter to dip crab in. Sooooo good! Heaven... And ate with Jesus and his 12 (of course they know a good thing)

We ordered 3 lbs of crawfish and a lb of shrimp. We had a small rotten potato. The crawfish were really small but over all good. The shrimp were large and very flavorful. The garlic butter was excellent. Overall I would rate a 4 star. I went in to pick up order. Cashier never really asked if she could help me. I had to tell her I was there to pick up an order. Restaurant was very clean but again, I was at the door.

A small and intimate place that is open only seasonally for crawfish, which was one of the best ones I've had! Some items were already sold out by the time we arrived for lunch and I could do without the order of mushrooms, which were pretty plain. Overall, good experience!

I’ve been waiting to come here since last season when I found them online the day after they closed last year. Did not disappoint! We got 2lb of crawfish & 1lb shrimp, hush puppies & those corn ribs. Crawfish are a little small right now (time of the season) but they pack a punch. Perfectly cooked, so much flavor and juice in the heads. The baby scarfed those hush puppies down and the corn was so so so good. We also got the special OTD - crawfish fettuccine for dad’s lunch break. Baaaangin. Will be back again and again and again.

Crawfish were good, temperature wise wasn’t so good, great deals, I’ll try again, next time I won’t go so close to closing

Hands down the best crawfish, also recommend the cowboy crack. The atmosphere is so good and great people

We had some of the best crawfish here !!! And the sides were all delicious . Service is amazing and always friendly. Do yourself a favor and stop by !!!

I am hoping NO ONE finds this place, although I've been telling everyone about it! Early into crawfish season 2025 - craving for Saturday lunch. Looked up on Yelp and decided to go. Small trailer-like location with off-street limited parking. We drove by the blue building before finding it. Hardly anyone eating in; lots of to go business. Order at counter, sit & food is brought to you. Went all in - 4# crawfish ($7/lb) and an order of hush puppies (5-6 for $4) for me, a pound of Royal Red Shrimp ($17/lb) and an order of potatoes (about 6 for $3.50) for him. Sodas are bottled, not fountain @ $2.50 ea. It took me a minute to get back in the "swing of the peel," but I did, and after 4#, I was full. Plenty of meat on them and were perfectly seasoned. No burning lips. Hush puppies were very tasty & cooked through. Potatoes were nicely seasoned. I don't care for shrimp, but a small bite of husband's Royal Reds told me I might have found a shrimp I could eat. Was definitely not "shrimpy." 1# was plenty and he had a couple left over. Returned the next Saturday for the same thing (minus hush puppies, to save room for my crawfish) and still yummy. Hoping they still have the shrimp and crawfish in late May so I can take my New York cousin to experience it. Service is friendly and since you pay when you order, checkout's a breeze.

Best boiled crawfish in NOLA. Always seasoned perfectly and consistent. The owners, Chelsea and Steven are always there. Call ahead for take out crawfish. They are about 15% higher that the cheap crawfish places, but their crawfish are amazing.

The boiled crawfish were clean, consistent, and well-seasoned without being too salty or hot. I've revisited 6 times or so to try something different, but my mouth keeps saying, "I'll have the 3 # crawfish special with a frozen Abita on draft". We drive 25 miles past several seafood restaurants to get here.

We ordered 5 lbs of crawfish and a warmed stuffed artichoke for our family of 4. The service was great and the food came out very quick. We ended up ordering 3 more lbs of crawfish because they were so tasty! They were all a good size too! Will definitely be back!

I ate here a few months back. I ordered my food to go. The girl behind the counter was nice and greeted me. I was curious if I should order the crawfish or not and the girl offered to give me a couple of crawfish to taste it before I buy it which I thought was pretty awesome of her. I ended up ordering crawfish, cowboy crack, shrimp Diablo poboy, and cochon de lait poboy. The crawfish had some good flavor not too spicy. But not the best crawfish I ever had. The cowboy vrack was just not good. The shrimp poboy had some unique flavors going on and the cochon de last poboy was really good. I loved the extensive menu and the location. The pictures and art on the wall made for a fun vibe. There was a few seating options inside but overall this is more of a grab and go type place.

This is a diamond hidden away on Airline Highway. Amazing seafood especially the crawfish - spiced just right! They have a full menu of seafood options as well. Janae was excellent in terms of help, recommendations, and service.

Got to enjoy some crawfish from these guys out at a pop up at Zony Mash and they didn't disappoint. We got 10lbs for $80 and that came with some corn, potatoes, and sauce. Crawfish were some of the biggest we've had this season. They were great--cooked really nicely, good amount of spice, and buttery.

When I tell you that this place was hands down the best place to enjoy some crawfish with the family, I'm not lying. This place had great tasting crawfish, awesome staff and an environment that felt like home. We will definitely be back anytime we are back in Louisiana, you can count on that!

Highly, highly recommended this place! Staff were super friendly and the boiled seafood (crawfish, shrimp, crab platter) was perfection. We will be back!

Amazing crawfish and I work at a crawfish/oyster bar in the FQ and my family is from Lafayette! I asked them for BIG CLAWS (my favorite) and they delivered! Yall are doing a great job! Cant wait to come in and eat! #ClawGirl

They literally have the best crawfish in town. Clean, not too spicy, cooked to perfection. Can't wait to go there again. Service is always great!

This is my go to spot for boiled crawfish every year when they're in season. I haven't actually tried anything else except the ruby reds once. Which were delish. The owner Steve is there most of the time and always says hi. Great little spot!!

Smallest potatoes ever. Smaller than a crawfish. I got the platter. Very disappointed.

I am very snobby about crawfish. I'm from Lafayette and was pretty convinced there was no good boiled crawfish around New Orleans. However, this place is solid. The crawfish are clean clean. The flavor and spice is right. The staff is great. The decor is cute. I docked them one star because crawfish should come out steaming hot and these were just warm. I am guessing that happens because they boil ahead of time instead of boil-to-order. If they'd been hot, this would have been a 5 star. Best I've had around NOLA.

These people practice wage theft. They set a tip jar out for the customers to be able to tip the waitstaff, but it goes into the pockets of the very pretentious business owners. They present to be sweet, humble business owners m, but this guy is Jeff Beezos sans the cash. Crawfish is mid, the atmosphere is terrible and the owners really are trash people. Save yourself the time

Tried the Cajun Street Corn, which was very salty but also very good. Despite the salt, I couldn't stop eating it. The boudin eggrolls were decent. I understand they use Bourgeois boudin which I find a bit liver-forward. Would have been nice if they added other fillings to complement the boudin. I couldn't quite tell if there was cheese in there or not. Otherwise, it was fried crispy and the sauce was a nice complement. Finally, I was super excited about trying the seafood stuffed bell peppers, which the menu states the #1 ingredient is crab. I ordered these to go. Was very disappointed to find that the peppers are purchased and then reheated to serve, rather than made in house. Yes, they are made by a local company, but I can purchase these in the grocery store rather than a restaurant. Because I asked for it to go, I was given the option to take it cold to reheat at home. This is the only reason I knew it was a packaged food. Otherwise, it would have been serve reheated as a regular menu item. And the #1 ingredient is breadcrumbs, not crab. It's fine if they choose to serve a packaged item, but I think it should be identified as such on the menu. Previously this venue offered an expanded food menu and some of the former menu items looked very good and I wish they still offered. The boiled crawfish is also highly rated, so I'll likely return again to sample their boiled selections.

The food is awesome ... owner Steven knows food and has created a space where you can feel at home and enjoy delicious food When you go before you order off the menu be sure to check in with Steven and get his recommendations!

Great low key spot for crawfish, my family really enjoyed the feast! Will definitely come back if we're ever in the area again.

I tried this for the first time a few months ago and I've been back probably four times. Each mill has just been great, of course there's a few things that could be tweaked but overall those are the best crawfish I've eaten in this area. So clean! Also, I don't know what that sauce is that comes with the Boudin eggrolls, but it's the best thing I've ever tasted! Always friendly although there is a young man that works there that really needs to watch some of the things he discusses at the front. I'll just leave that there.

Fried shrimp are overcooked and seafood bell pepper is mostly breading. Boiled seafood looks better.

Had a craving for boiled shrimp. I don't know why. Searched Yelp and Bon Temps Boulet's came up. I had never heard of it. It was less than 2 miles from my house, and apparently I had driven past it many times without knowing it was there. Reviews were excellent, so I jumped in the car and drove there. Funky little place. But great vibe. Nice 5 person bar, maybe 7 tables inside. I ordered the boiled shrimp to go. A pound of headless boiled shrimp for $13. The gentleman that took my order was attentive, but also perfectly funky. I can see why some people might find him off putting. I didn't. Shrimp came out in less than 5 minutes. The shrimp were some of the best I have ever had. They were perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend. And I will be headed back this week. Check it out.

The service started off a Little Rock but Improved when the female bartender got involved. The guy behind the counter at the cash register was clearly having a difficult day. The seafood was perfection. We split the seafood combo platter. Boiled snow crab was on point and well seasoned. The garlic butter that comes with it needs to be provided to every home in south Louisiana immediately! TO DIE FOR!! The crawfish was tasty and easy to peel! I wasn't a huge fan of the royal reds but the other selections made up for whatever they lacked. All in all a do not miss!!

I'm so glad they're open again. We went today for lunch and it was delicious as always!

Let me start by saying that these people are PASSIONATE about what they do and IT SHOWS!! I've been in this place four times and every single time is perfect. We've tried several appetizers, all delicious but the boudin egg rolls are out of this world. The shrimp diablo is great! Don't be fooled by the name... I personally don't like too spicy and this poboy has the perfect subtle kick. All poboys we've tried are really delicious and it's not only because of the perfect bread but also because the chef loves his menu items... he knows what he is doing. Another MUST-TRY is the bread pudding, if I could've lick that plate hahaha I would've because that sauce was exquisite ! Their daiquiris are also great, they change the flavors periodically but whatever flavor they make, I can assure you that you will love it. The environment is also lovely, the people working there are super nice, it almost feels like home. It will sound weird but honestly, every time we leave with a big smile and feeling like we just left our family's home. We are so grateful for having Bon Temps Boule in our neighborhood.

My husband and I were so glad we made a stop before flying home to California. This place has delicious seafood. We had the crawfish, blue crab, and shrimp. We ordered an extra 3lb bag of crawfish to take back with us. Stephen (a.k.a. The Crawfather) was so accommodating that he taught us how to eat crawfish to get all the goodness. We can't wait to head back to Louisiana l...yes, just to eat at this place. Thank you, Bon Temps!

Bon Temps Boulet catered our crawfish and chill event and the food was perfect! The owner Steven heard our vision and mastered it! The crawfish were clean and delicious, shrimp were flavorful, and the crabs were superb. All accompanied by sausage, corn, and potatoes. All my guest kept complimenting the chef and we will definitely be booking Bon Temps Boulet for future events. The staff were not only friendly, but they were also engaging with my guest. I truly appreciated them assisting with bringing food, great conversation, and even serving up third servings. I was extremely pleased with their service and presentation. Thank you again Bon Temps Boulet!!!!

Great food and innovative menu, hard working People providing wonderful diner experience

I don't care to go to Metairie for anything, really. I like to stay in the city, and that's all there is to it, I guess. Nothing evil or hateful in Metairie, I just like New Orleans a lot better. It contains multitudes, you know? Good and bad and revelatory, and I like it all jammed up, jelly-tight. But I do go out to Metairie for the food here. Some of it's very good and some of it eclipses very good and goes right on to "exquisite".

We ordered the 16 hour Wagyu brisket. It had an amazingly good sesame bun with pickled onions. And oyster salad with caviar ranch had diced tomatoes cheese croutons and a fresh green salad with large gulf oysters. The caviar ranch is amazing and has just the right kick. Will definitely be back.

New owners of the old Bevi Seafood on Airline. Cleaned up really nicely. Clean, well appointed and great tasting boiled, smoked and fried - shrimp, wings and oysters. Cajun fried corn and gumbo. All the real deal and a little unique.

Won't go there anymore. $12 crawfish when the market is $8, and they provided the ​ smallest you can find. We ordered 2lbs and barely got one. Plus, they should have warned us how small the crawfish was. And their tables weren't much bigger! The worst of our visit is they took our orders at closing time then rushed us out, claiming it was an hour when it was just 40 minutes. Their gumbo had little rice, and their dungeons crab was too salty. The only reason we didn't give them one star was due to the flavor of the crawfish being perfect. A small business will probably not make it due to a lack of ​basic integrity. Easy fixes: A) Always warn your customers of the wild prices​ and sized of a bad market without apologizing. Make sure not to be smiling or sarcastic, Your customers will be more forgiving, and you'll be seen as having integrity. If they stay or leave, you will be the benefactor of more business. B) When customers feel forced to ask about the amount, tell them the truth and apologize, then rectify it by giving them more than requested. (Make sure your staff conveys questions from customers like that) C) Do yourself a big favor. If you advertise closed at a specific time, then tell your staff it's when the last customer leaves, period. Never ever kick a customer out and never ever clean and break down around them. If you, the owner/manager, don't fight for the customer experience, who does? Believe me, you are the only one who cares about return customers. Most customers will leave as exponentially as possible without being too uncomfortable about it. For the customers who don't and are narcissis are usually big tippers. Some are not, but they always come back. It's part of doing business. D) If the order style is upfront and no waiter, then remove the tip question on the kiosk. You should be able to afford these things with your margins! Lastly, if you believe in God and pray to Him, all you have to do is learn from your mistakes, and in that process of you trying, He will take care of you and your efforts! Just know, sometimes it's not the way we expect it. But it's always great!

Best crawfish I've ever had. That's it. That's the review. My fiancé and I get crawfish at the Bevi on Carrollton like every other day. Wanted to try something new....SOOOO WORTH IT!!! The crawfish were huge. Unique flavor!! Spicy. Just so good, omg. Oh and they gave us crawfish sauce. I've only ever used crawfish sauce on flavorless crawfish but we tried it with the potatoes and a few of the crawfish. Holy cow. Plus their service is incredible. We hate coming to Jefferson Parish because it's so far from where we live in the city but damn lol this is a trip we're going to be making until crawfish season is over. #fatandhappy

I found Bon Temps on Yelp since my kids are all about seafood lately, and I am anything but. My family LOVED their lunch. Between my husband, sons, and my husband's parents, Bon Temps was their FAVORITE MEAL during Our week in New Orleans. For me, the Cochin du lait poboy was good but didn't live up to Jazz Fest expectations.

Best place to get crawfish in Metairie! Local and friendly service. Highly recommended pass by and enjoy some delicious grub and wonderful company!

This is the 2nd time we've been here. Last time about a month ago all we had were the crawfish! These are some of the best crawfish I've ever had!! Absolutely the cleanest crawfish as well. Spicy enough to make your nose run but not enough to burn your lips and tongue off. Every single crawfish came out with ease, even the small claws were easy to crack and eat! This time we had the triple platter: catfish, shrimp and pulled pork. Then we had 3lbs of crawfish for dessert! Wow these are amazing crawfish. Steven and his wife have a wonderful gem here. Y'all come check them out, you will not be disappointed.

Boiled shrimp were great! Second time getting food there. Boiled crawfish was great as well!

Great food and great service vey cheap and a great sever named axyle. And the over all vibe of the shop was great it was fishing themed and the Waiter was super nice and showed us how to peel them

Some of the best crawfish I have ever had. Cool little place. Parking is a little difficult, but I wasn't there for the parking lot.

Was in NOLA Presidents' Day weekend. Ate there on Tuesday at lunch. Was not crowded and interacted with the owner as there were only 3 people working at the time. Had a great meal and talked with him a lot. Oysters and fresh red shrimp were excellent, even gave him my card to come and visit us if he goes to Hawaii one day. I saw the reviews of poor service, I understand because if you guys go on a Friday or Saturday night it's probably packed and they are a small place. I love to frequent small places and hole in the walls, not tourist places. We usually go to Acme once when we are in town but finally convinced my wife to go to these kind of places. If we go back , we would go back to this place, this was the first time we stayed in Metairie, we have found small places in Kenner for cheap oysters but will stay outside of the city next time. If the owner reads this hope you didn't lose the card, and contact me if you're in town here.

Great hole in the wall. Friendly service. Fresh seafood. Had a delicious fried gulf shrimp po'boy. Would go back.

Food was amazing, service was amazing! Thank you Axyle for great hospitality. Will definitely be coming back.

Hands down best crawfish on the planet. The wings are fantastic. The peace maker poboy is great, but the war maker poboy is the best. I mean fresh French bread with brisket spicy boiled shrimp jalapeños and cheese fully dressed are you kidding me. It's a fun upbeat restaurant. Great for out of towners who are traveling from the airport to the hotel.

Food was amazing! The Crawfish had the perfect amount of seasoning. Also Axel was an absolute Delight . We will definitely be back

This was an overall terrible decision to eat here. A coworker, and myself decided to eat here for lunch. We ordered Boudin Eggrolls to share, and each had a 10" poboy. I had a Half/Half shrimp & oyster, he had 10" shrimp. The server first brought our eggrolls which was a very small portion with no plate, nor asked if we like one. Then our poboy's came. I had a total of 5 shrimp on 1 side & 4 oysters on the other. He had the same count on his poboy. This was very close to a salad on bread. These poboy's were $18 a piece plus tax! They're obviously changing a premium for seafood, but serving the bare minimum. With tax & tip this was close to a $60 meal, and this was not even close to being worth it. You can go to Danny & Clyde's and get two over stuffed poboy's for probably half the price you spent here!

What a gem! Great Seafood, Wonderful Service. Their fry is amazing. The gulf shrimp are a gorgeous size and I couldn't help myself so I got a couple of crabs too :). All in all great experience. Really clean place and everyone is compliant with current rules and regulations. It was a pleasure finding this spot.

Just finished eating here and the crawfish were HUGE but, the guy working the register (beanie) was extremely rude! I'm a customer! It was my first time here and he couldn't even look me in the face to tell me where the drinks are. He should not be working customer service.

The food was delicious. Crayfish excellent and served clean with out swamp floating in it. Lol Fried oysters not the best. Husband enjoyed brisket Poboy and the hush puppies great too. Beer ice cold and the lady behind counter was helpful about menu. She was so proud to work there. Met chef owner n his wife. They are opened January and close end of June for 6 months. Went middle of afternoon so very few customers. Small place so do not know what a busy time looks like. Highly recommend but remember to go before July 1st. Place very clean is a big plus for us!
