Casual, enduring restaurant specializing in seafood, oysters, po' boys & classic cocktails.
"Can’t argue with a great buffet. With plenty of space for extended kin, Red Fish Grill dishes a swell turkey spread from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., priced at $69.95 for grown-ups, $19.95 for kids 12 and under, and free for tots two and under. It’s not just turkey and fixin’s either. The menu includes two soups, a display of cold seafood and a carving station with Joyce Farms turkey, prime rib, and porchetta. Tons of sides and a hefty dessert station round out this good deal in the Quarter." - Beth D'Addono
"A celebration of all things seafood takes place daily year-round at Ralph Brennan’s Red Fish Grill, and for the seven weeks of Lent that celebration focuses on the fried varieties. Ever-changing Friday options might include crispy redfish with shrimp and oysters, or blackened redfish piccata with sautéed spinach and roasted fingerling potatoes. Check the website for the full list, scheduled week-by-week." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff

"Proof positive that there’s good food on Bourbon Street, Ralph Brennan’s Red Fish Grill offers fried Gulf fish bites with roasted red pepper remoulade sauce for dipping as a stellar starter. Fresh fish comes blackened, roasted, or sauteed in a sage butter sauce as a stand-in for veal in saltimbocca on this creative menu. The restaurant is huge and able to accommodate groups easily." - Beth D'Addono
"The list of hard-working, talented musicians in New Orleans is endless, with many of them powering popular weekend brunches around town. At Red Fish Grill at the edge of Bourbon Street, it’s Joe Krown, one of the city’s most respected keyboard players, on piano. This guy plays Jazz Fest, he tours the country with the Kenny Wayne Shepherd band and when he’s in town, he entertains at Red Fish solo while guests enjoy the likes of gulf shrimp, spinach and brie omelet, gator breakfast tacos, and crab Croque Madame. Two hours of bottomless cocktails run $28, so drink up." - Beth D'Addono
