Deanie's On Hayne

Five stars, every time. We absolutely love Deanie’s on Hayne. The service is always fast, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the food is consistently excellent. It’s the kind of place that feels like home. Thank you for doing what you do and doing it right—this neighborhood is lucky to have you.

My experience was awful… I had the Bang Bang Salmon with Jasmine Rice and veggies… first off, let’s start with the salmon which was very undercooked. I’m assuming it was supposed to be sushi where is salmon and I’ve ever had.!!!! The vegetables were overcooked and slimy… Bang bang sauce was horrible… The side green salad was OK….. Jasmine Rice tasted like white rice with Parsley…. I also had the soup of the day which was crawfish corn potato soup…. Very watery… What a waste of $25.. Will not be returning… I wanted to get my money back but didn’t even bother.

This is a local place in the east of new orleans. The place is clean and waitresses are welcoming and attentive. Roast beef poboy was calling me today. Roast beef was well cooked, juicy w plenty of its own gravy, and well seasoned. Service was very good i never had to ask for anything, the atmosphere is nice, quiet, and clean. Bathrooms are very clean, are your greeted with smell good candles. Overall, ill deff make a trip back here to get more food.

I’m a stickler for good gumbo and the seafood gumbo did not disappoint. The only suggestion I’d make is to strain the shells from the roux. I had to keep picking crab shell fragments out. The fried shrimp was divine.

Classic neighborhood seafood place that is no frills with very friendly and attentive staff. The salads are better than I would have expected but many of the sides are nothing special, the stuffed redfish was good

This is my favorite local spot in New Orleans. It is not frivolous and is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. The food is absolutely the best. Amazing Southern flavors, spicy, savory, and smoky. Their prices are amazing, and they have multiple daily specials that change daily, so you always get something different if you want. I ordered the red beans and rice and a side of mustard greens. The beans and rice were smoky and packed full of flavor. The greens were perfectly seasoned, and the pot liquor..... Oh my lawd!!! SO good!! This place is a must visit when you're here! Great hospitality from the staff, amazing food, and the serve Red Cream Soda. Where else can you get this Southern staple!!!! Simply the best!

The food is delicious the service is fast . Restaurant is dated could use a lil picker upper some paint . but other than that definitely new Orleans staple that has been around a long time!

I had a great experience here, the food was phenomenal and the service just as good, I have no complaints and will visit again when I return to New Orleans

I Loooooove Deanie's!!!!! I basically order from the one on Hayn Blvd because I live in that area,but I have visited the One in the French Ouarters,both are very clean along with an amazing atmosphere that invites you to eat until your heart is contented,the Seafood is the BEST,and there's always enough to take away!!! Thanks Deanie's I love y'all

Ordered and stuffcrab plate The stuff crab was not hot the greens beans were to different colors the you can tell the older ones were soft and the new ones were crunchy ‍ it's awful, only reason I went was to give a second chance the first time was not good at all. Service was great

Deanie's Restaurant & Bar in New Orleans East is often confused with the other Deanie's Restaurant group that currently has locations in Bucktown, The French Quarter and The Garden District but there is zero connection between these restaurants. So we have to emphasize again that this Deanie's Restaurant & Bar has no relation to the other Deanie's Seafood Restaurants (other than a shared name) which the confusion seems so strong that many have just started calling this joint "Deanie's on Hayne" to differentiate it from the better known and larger restaurant group. So "Deanie's on Hayne" or Deanie's Restaurant & Bar traces its history back to the mid-1960s in the Warehouse District of New Orleans. Deanie's on Hayne opened in its current location the 1970s, when the fishing camps on Lake Pontchartrain along Hayne to Little Woods were beginning to disappear. The bad news is that Deanie's on Hayne has very limited serving hours being open 11AM to 4PM Monday to Thursday and on Friday from 11AM until 8PM so most folks are mainly going to get lunch here and maybe an early dinner on a Friday. The good news is that Deanie's on Hayne has rotating daily specials and they have a HUGE selection of different items everyday. You really get an amazing variety of so many things which are prepared in many different ways. They have a large bar here if you are a solo diner and then they also have plenty of table seating options as well. They really pack a HUGE amount of great stuff into what looks like a relatively modest building from the outside. You get good food, great service and a nice environment along with most other things you would want in a dining experience all wrapped up into a nice package here. Overall this place is a definite place to put on your list for a future visit and once you experience it you will likely return for more. My video review of Deanie's on Hayne is here: https://youtu.be/laV3TvGZEP4

First time visiting Deanie's. Wow what a great place! Real old style New Orleans neighborhood restaurant. Everything made from scratch, phenomenal sauces, dressings and desserts. Fried food cooked to perfection and plentiful. Giant butterflied shrimp. Will be back. Thank you!

The restaurant is a great little staple. Great gumbo and other dishes. And the service is always spot on!

Food was outstanding! The "daily special menu" is where it's at!! Best food we've had in New Orleans in years! Green beans and seafood stuffed redfish. Sooo good.

The food is amazing, the customer service is great. I highly recommend the original location. It looks like a hole in the was but what a great place to dine. The Showboat platter is a MUST.

Great reason to visit New Orleans East. This restaurant is great for dine in and carry out. Deanie's offer good, consistent, and affordable food. They also give generous portions. I recently went here with my friend. I got the breaded veal, macaroni and cheese, squash, and salad all for $11.95. The entire meal was good and I had plenty left to take home. The macaroni and cheese was the standout dish for me, super cheesy and tasty. My friend got the bang bang shrimp wrap with twisty fries all for $11.95, she was thoroughly pleased with the meal. Our entire meal was only $31.45, now that's a deal! I definitely recommend this restaurant. Good location (on Haynes Blvd) and plenty of parking.

Great lunch spot close to the airport. Loved everything, service was great. Bread pudding was a little too sweet for me

The food is fresh and fried perfectly. I had the stuffed shrimp which had a delicious stuffing , my hubby had the shrimp ,oyster boat. The only improvement could be the fries they needed to be crispier and a little more flavorful. Its priced the same as any typical seafood restaurant

Omg!! Leave it to New Orleans!! The shrimp and mushroom soup is amazing!!! And then came the Boat!!

I was surprised to have a disappointing experience, as I was excited to try another Deanie's location. We ordered a redfish lunch special and a shrimp po boy to go, then waited a good 20-30 minutes for it to come out. The place was not crowded. One of the servers had no mask whatsoever, and the other had one that was below her nose. One of the (maskless) cooks walked through the dining room, evidently on a grocery run for canned corn (which he completed during the time I was waiting for our food to be prepared). The food was mediocre when we finally received it. The redfish was meh/dry and the poboy was not overstuffed. However, the smothered green beans (green beans with tomato sauce and sausage) were good, as was the side of French bread. The staff was friendly. Maybe it was an off day?

Haven't been here in about 20 years! Would always pass Deanie's but thought they were closed, well that's because they are only open Monday-Friday from 11am to 4pm. I was glad to support this New Orleans East restaurant, it is truly a hidden gem. They have your typical New Orleans seafood dishes and great lunch specials. I had the Bang Bang Shrimp Wray with Twisty Fries. Being a fry lover, the twisty(curly) fries were on point. The wrap was tasty. It reminded me of a shrimp po boy dressed, just on a tomato wrap, don't quote me on the wrap. I tried my friend's veal and squash, also came with Mac and cheese. The veal was tender and fried in Italian bread crumbs, a must try. Squash was the veggie served with it and they were simply cooked to my liking. I can't wait to try some other lunch specials. If you are in the area during lunch, you should give them a try. Until me meet again!

The staff (mother and daughter) were very friendly and accommodating. The food was outstanding. Just what we were looking for in a meal. Shrimp creole was amazing.

This Place was Amazing from the beginning to the End. Candace and Wendell was awesome. Healthy servings worth every Penny.It's a must Visit.

Stopped in for an under $15 lunch had a chicken Parmesan and a side salad with a fresh glass of homemade tea. The cook knows all too well how to fry let me tell you this piece of chicken was fried perfectly. As for portions I took half of it home as it was just too much to eat served on a bed of angel hair pasta with the red sauce.

Off the track of other restaurants, I found this one by referral. I was pleasantly surprised by the feast, service and that down home look and feel. Highly recommend this one! I had chargrilled fresh oysters, grilled chicken salad, hint, come hungry if you order the large it's a BIG SALAD!

Deanie's was actually our second choice after my friend's go-to seafood joint on the lake had closed up for the night. We were not disappointed! We were looking over the menu when The Showboat, and its $42 price tag, caught my eye. I laughingly pointed it out, along with its litany of items: four stuffed clams, catfish, fried shrimp, stuffed shrimp, fried oysters, fries, onion rings, and two salads. "Oh, so it feeds two people...wanna do that?" The only thing "two people" about the Showboat is the salads, which I think they just throw in there to lure you into a false sense that you've done at least something to eat responsibly tonight. The main attraction arrives balanced precariously on half a loaf of garlic bread, which I never got to. The stuffing in the clams and stuffed shrimp, more peppery than spicy, is marvelous! The fish is moist and tender, and the battered coating on the shrimp, oysters, and onion rings is crisp without being greasy. I'd never been a big fan of "ersters," as my NOLA native friend says it, but these changed my mind! We threw in the towel about halfway in, and even the next day the bread, some fries and a couple of onion rings went to the dogs. Not the seafood, though! You can eat at tables or the bar, which has a decent selection of local beers along with the standards. The vibe is very laid-back and local, right down to the fabulous Y'at accent of our lovely waitress. Looking forward to coming back in November!

Great spot on Hayne Blvd. revisited today after learning that the Walnut Room Is closed. Terrific o-rings and oysters perfectly fried. Only open during the week and a real oasis in this part of NO EAST. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.....!!!!!!

My mother in law always talks about Deanies. She's a NOLA native who now lives in San Antonio Tx and misses the fried seafood she used to eat when she was younger. We decided to visit family and this place was at the top of our list to eat. We were seated promptly and the waitress was very nice. We ordered the bbq shrimp for our appetizer and it was delicious! Messy but so worth it! They give you seasoned potatoes instead of bread and I think that's so weird. It tasted ok and my son loved them but I wasn't impressed.My husband and I got the half seafood platter and my son got a shrimp platter. Everything was fried to perfection. It all kinda tastes the same after a while but that's to be expected I guess. Next time I'm gonna order a double order of the bbq shrimp and I'll be content. Will return.

I felt like I was at home here. Food was delicious and staff was very inviting. Will be coming here again

Stopped in for a very affordable lunch. This is what authentic New Orleans food is. New Orleans food isn't served in small fancy platters. It's served hot, well seasoned, and in large portions. Authentic New Orleans food is never meant to be enjoyed alone. My red beans and rice plate embodied all of these attributes perfectly, even the company!!!

I love a simple uncomplicated restaurant. I personally believe that time should be spent on the recipes in the kitchen and that decor is just a justification to charge more. Deanie's always reinforces my beliefs. There's no big drink menu but ask the bartender for a drink with a certain liquor or a certain flavor and you get a custom made fantastic treat. Today I wanted a drink with strawberries but not a margarita and I ended up with a strawberry and cream martini. I also ordered the stuffed shrimp and hot crab dip. Both are particular favorites of mine. Nothing like a fancy drink and some appetizers to make an afternoon special.

The food did not disappoint! We are from Austin, Tx and everything was amazing!!! Haven't been to Deanie's in over 5 years. Thanks for the great food and service!!!!

The Best Louisiana Seafood in New Orleans !!! Love the Crab Cakes, Stuffed Shrimp, Boiled Shrimp, BBQ Shrimp, and Seafood Gumbo....

Because of my love for the Deanies in Metairie, I decided to try this location as well... .& Both places are very different. PROS: -LOVE the traditional setting and ambience of the place.. Definitely a place to get down and grub dirty with finger licking food! (Deanies in Metairie seem a tad pretentious.. Hate that!) -Service ; very helpful & friendly -Prices -Specials CONS: -Seafood platter, not real fried oysters, more like oyster stuffing. NO soft shell crab..yet again..a crabby crab stuffing. Yep! No more cons..! All in all not a bad close to home seafood grub pub in New Orleans East. Waitress was so southerly friendly. -Yes, credit cards are accepted. -Not wheelchair accessible, but the bump isn't so bad to roll over with a little help. -Open Monday's-Thursday's&Saturday's @11-4pm, Friday@11-9pm. CLOSED Sunday's.

Do not get the place confused with Deanie's Seafood in the French Quarter. This deanie's has been around longer and it is better. This place is not anywhere near the tourist areas. It's in East New Olreans, where few tourists go. It's a local joint, with local food. Had lunch here and the lunch menu was inexpensive. I had the garlic bread which is DELICIOUS. Fresh made on french baguette. I had red beans and rice with smoked sausage ($5.95) and it was a huge bowl of red beans with a decent sized scoop of rice. It wasn't any different tasting than others i've had, meaning that it is good. Not outstanding. The smoked sausage is very good. Also tried the bacon wrapped fried gulf shrimp. Really, really good. Came with yellow rice that tasted just ok and some peas. This was $6.99 or so, if memory serves me correctly. It is very casual inside and the service is very very good. Friendly staff. Would def recommend if you want to stay away from the touristy areas...

The food was excellent, the service was beyond great, and the food was very reasonably priced. This was a warm welcome to New Orleans for us! Please do yourself a favor and go here for light and crispy fried seafood, creamy seafood pasta, or one of their cakes for dessert.

Great fried catfish and baked macaroni special. Affordable and quick service. Very clean bathrooms.

Excellent fried soft shell crab. Friendly staff, a little off the beaten path but definitely worth it.

The best for local New Orleans food; been going here for nearly 40 years. Note that this is NOT related to the other Deanie's (French Quarter or Bucktown).

This place has awsome food with huge portions I had the jack leg chicken it's jambalaya with gumbo on it and a fried chicken breast on top covered in mozzarella cheese it's one of those dishes you keep eating even thou you are about pop

This is a gem of a restaurant with a long history in New Orleans. The food is great with recipe's originating from Deanies on Annunciation. The menu items and preparations are similar to what locals eat at home. Highly recommended for New Orleans' food at its most local.

I live about a block from here and I order from time to time. I thought I'd try it since it was so close and I've heard decent reviews from a few locals. I'll tell ya the food isn't all that wonderful. Not for the prices they want you to pay. Its really hit or miss. I had to find them on fb just to find the menu. Their schedule is a little weird, they clpse at 4 pm mon-thurs and they're only open until 9 on fridays. I just realized they serve dinner on Friday too. I've had their fish and veggies which was not bad. My wife recently ordered food for her birthday dinner, the steak was not cooked well, the flavor wasn't anything to write home about. I had the seafood potato.. it looked pretty loaded and I was impressed by looks alone. However. after eating the potato, looks aren't everything. it really didn't have a lot of seafood.. the bottom was dry and the skin looked kinda burnt. My father in law ordered a po -boy a while back and he was very disappointed..They really need a better chef. I'll probably order different things because its so close, but if you're looking for great tasting food everytime for a reasonable price Just go to the other Deanies lol

Great service. Friendly and helpful with recommendations. The trout was great. Fresh and tender but crisp on the outside.

Crab Three Way is incredible!! Crab Bisque, Crab Linguini and a whole Soft Shell Crab with a salad delightfully prepared for a great price!

Just ate dinner there very good excellent food Good portions and great service Prices are reasonable

This place is not closed! Frequently confused with the other Deanie's restaurants because the taste of the food is comparable. Although not affiliated with Deanie's in the Quarter the food is better than ever: Stuffed Crab, Eggplant and other seafood is the best in the city.

I regularly eat at Deanie's since I work in the area. I've rarely ordered off of the normal menu since they offer daily specials. You can view the specials on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deanies-on-Hayne/170227006448084?fref=ts I find the food to be of consistent quality and very good. The service is very friendly and prompt. Most specials are served with a side salad and bread. Specials can range from seared duck (one of my faves) to seafood pasta. Usually the daily menu features around 6-8 specials.

This place SUCKS! The waitress was awful. The waitress mentioned Jasmine tea during ordering as if that's what she'd be serving, but delivered community tea in a dirty cup. All 3 orders were placed at the same time. The first 2 plates arrived to the table 5 minutes apart. We had to ask for the 3rd plate. 20 minutes later, I cancelled my soft she'll crab wrap, even though I had been in search of softshell crab since my arrival in the city. The Manager was unconcerned and unapologetic when she arrived at the table for a brief list of our concerns. I dine out often at a healthy mix of establishments so I know my experience was completely unacceptable. Now I understand why the place was empty. My table was the only table assigned to my waitress, and she & the manager were still able to create an unpleasant dining experience.

Great service and food! They have a great everyday menu with changing specials daily, ALL great! A little out of the way but completely worth it!

The food and the service is great! I enjoyed the craw fish and sweet bread...mmm!

We went today, and I had the seafood platter ($19.95). It was pretty good, and they gave a lot with it- catfish, shrimp, oysters, stuffed crab, stuffed oyster, fries, dinner salad. But, the batter was rather bland, and we thought they could spice it up a bit. Still in all, it's a well-maintained, clean, family joint (open since 1969). The bar looks like a good place for locals to hang out. I saw others eating grilled seafood and pasta dishes- those looked delicious. I probably need to revisit this establishment at some future point. It's worth checking out, I'd say.

Food is awesome and the bread is the right texture I have shrimp or oyster po boy sandwich very good

Best surprise in New Orleans!!! The bring potatoes to the table with your drinks (instead of bread and butter), they are the potatoes from a seafood boil. Just mash them up with some butter and you won't be disappointed. The gumbo and crawfish bisque are phenomenal! Definitely get the fried crab claws and fried artichokes for appetizers! They have a giant platter that comes with a taste of everything and it's enough for about 5-6 people to split. This place is away from Bourbon St but you won't regret it!!!

Visited this cozy spot during my stay in NOLA. Everybody there makes you feel right at home. The food was delicious and so fresh. If you've been to any Deanies and want to go again...I suggest visiting this location. So upset they didn't have bread pudding.

Fish was not seasoned and batter didn't stick, so the breading just fell apart. The macaroni and cheese was just thrown together and placed on top of the bread and fish. My fish and bread was covered in cheese sauce. Disappointed!!!

Can you say best Gumbo??? I can! This is one of those places you will never get to experience if you are not with a local! The crab Au gratin is cheesy and delightful not to mention the crawfish that is seasoned to perfection!!

Had the "Show Boat" it was was pretty good!! The inside needs to be renovated but food and service was pretty good. Little pricey given the atmosphere and decor.
