Mama Jane Seafood & Creole Kitchen

"Fans of savory Creole seafood boils, including crawfish and snow crab by the pound, should make their way over to this Sylvan Hills establishment. Boils and fried seafood plates can come served with sausage, red potatoes, corn, or crispy fries. The generous fried seafood platter here with fish, shrimp, and oysters is worth the price ($35) and feeds at least two people. The restaurant also offers hot sausage, fried shrimp, and fried fish po’boys." - Eater Staff

"When you're craving good seafood, you shouldn't have to change out of your three-days-worn sweatpants. Just slide into head to Mama Jane, which provides solid, affordable seafood without a mandatory dress code. This primarily to-go seafood and Creole kitchen in Sylvan Hills offers up New Orleans classics like tasty shrimp po’boys, crispy boudin balls, and lightly fried fish platters. But our favorite thing to order is the boiled seafood bags (stuffed with your choice of shrimp, snow crab, or crawfish) full of bold spices that just about jump outta the plastic bag. Just go home and wash your sweatpants, OK?" - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams

"While mostly known and frequented for its savory seafood boils, including crawfish and snow crab by the pound, the fried seafood platter with fish, shrimp, and lobster is worth the order and feeds at least two people." - Beth McKibben, Sarra Sedghi

"If you’re in the Sylvan Hills area looking for quick, reasonably priced seafood, Mama Jane is all that drenched in Cajun and Creole spices. This small, unassuming establishment sits at the end of a shopping plaza. But inside, bright yellow walls and a New Orleans brass band cheerily blaring from the TV draw you to the order counter. Most plates are under $25, including their boiled shrimp, crawfish, or snow crab, which are served piping hot and heavily seasoned in a plastic bag. It’s mainly to-go ordering, so if you’re not up for cracking crabs while driving, wait until you get home or just order the tasty shrimp po’boys and crispy boudin balls." - Juli Horsford

"Family-owned and operated Mama Jane Seafood and Creole Kitchen found success in Sylvan Hills with its New Orleans-style seafood boils, especially during crawfish season." - Nneka M. Okona
