Crabby Jack's

Celebrated a birthday dinner at Crabby Jack’s in New Orleans, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! This spot is everything you hope for when it comes to authentic, laid-back Louisiana charm paired with incredible food. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming—no frills, just good vibes and even better food. The menu is packed with classics, and every dish we ordered was a reminder of why Cajun and Creole cooking is truly something special. The seafood was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Whether it was the shrimp, oysters, or fish, every bite felt like a celebration of Gulf Coast flavors. The portions were generous (you definitely won’t leave hungry), and everything had that homemade, soulful touch you can’t fake. What really made the night stand out, though, was the hospitality. The staff went out of their way to make the birthday feel special, adding that personal touch that turns a good meal into a memorable experience. If you’re in New Orleans and want a spot that delivers authentic local flavor in a relaxed setting, Crabby Jack’s is a must. Perfect for a casual lunch or, in our case, a truly wonderful birthday dinner. Five stars all the way—can’t wait to come back!

The duck poboy weighs close to 2 pounds! Stuffed with tender, slow roasted duck and covered in a perfectly seasoned sauce it is an amazing meal! The special was a shrimp poboy with Cajun seasoning that was very filling and stuffed with shrimp.

Our family stoped by Crabby Jacks for lunch at a recommendation from a friend back home. The food was so good, it is worth a repeat trip and a high recommendation. The fried chicken was so tasty and juicy, I could not stop eating it and actually ate some of my teenage son’s fried chicken plate as well. Their cup of gumbo got my teenage son to venture a new food experience and he loved the gumbo and is now hooked on it. My wife had the soft shell crab plate and thought that was made just perfectly. The atmosphere and friendly conversation with the staff of the restaurant made the lunch a perfect outing. It may look a little rough on the outside, but my experiences has told me that those type of places make the best darn food. It is very true with Crabby Jacks, as the place is full of character and the food is delicious.

Best po-boy ever. Was recommended by Tulane worker. Worth the money. Owner greeted everyone and cups are souvenirs

Steve is amazing! He made us feel like we were at home, despite it being our first time there! The great food topped with amazing customer service is a must! Highly recommend! 10/10

Really great shrimp Po boys (loaded with shrimp) and the best dirty rice that I've ever had (and I'm not generally a dirty rice fan)! The red beans and rice were also delicious! The staff was super friendly and helpful! So glad we stopped here! Highly recommend! ❤️

This place is always the bees knees 🐝! The staff is so nice. They treat you like family as soon as you walk in the door. Some people may not like that, but with customer service the way it is these days, it’s very refreshing. The food was again phenomenal. You will probably have leftovers. Which I love!!!

This place was on my short list of must trys! It is a must try when in town!! Food was AWESOME! My wife had never had a Po Boy before, she loved it!
