The 25 Best Restaurants In New Orleans - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"When you want to eat New Orleans-style seafood that’s better (and half the price of what you’ll find at touristy spots in the Quarter), come to Deanie’s on Hayne. Focus on the specials—last time we visited we had the crabmeat-stuffed redfish served with squash and salad for around $20. The seafood platters are also always a winner, especially since they’re totally shareable with heaping amounts of fried shrimp, catfish with stuffed crab, oyster patties, and onion rings. Throw in a few schooners of beer and any of the desserts and you’ll be joyfully stuffed. Say hi to Maw Maw Deanie if you’re there on Thursdays—the original owner hangs out in the casual dining room, and might even come up to your table for a quick chat." - chelsea brasted, zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry

The 10 Best Po’Boys In New Orleans - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"Deanie’s on Hayne is somewhere to get amazing seafood that’s half the price of the stuff you’ll find at touristy spots in the Quarter. The same can be said for their po’boys. The shrimp, oyster, and catfish sandwiches are some of the best in town, but our favorite is the stuffed crab. It’s adapted from an entree on their menu with Creole Italian crabmeat dressing that’s served in a hollowed-out shell, or sometimes in little aluminum crab-shaped tins. It’s slightly crispy from being under the broiler, and gets finished off with butter and seasoned bread crumbs. Now imagine that combo on French bread and dressed like a po’boy. The result is fantastic." - megan braden perry

I challenge anyone to look at all the reviews I've ever written and see if I say this sentence in anyone of them. This is quite literally the best place ive ever eaten at. This food will literally ruin all other food for you. The bbq shrimp... give the cook a Nobel prize! The staff... so warm and friendly. Glen was an absolute joy to wait on us. Truly what it means to provide southern hospitality. I'm just sad I don't live in Louisiana and can't have this regularly. A must go to if you're in a 1 hr radius of this location. You won't be disappointed!

My husband and I went there for his birthday dinner, and everything was great. The service was top notch. The food was more than I could fit, but worth every dollar. Best seafood restaurant we ever been to from Baton Rouge, LA to Pensacola, FL. Felicia did amazing as our waitress, and she handled a situation behind us better than most people would. We definitely will be back with family.

A little bit of drive out to the bucktown location in Metarie. It's close to the water, but not on the water and still has that feel of a local fishing town restaurant. First of all, the seafood gumbo is one of the best that i've tried.And believe me, I try them everywhere.I go. It's worth the drive, just to have the seafood gumbo. A large bowl of spiced potatoes came with the table. And as you can see, it was not a standard wine pour, very generous. Next up some chargrilled, oysters drippin' in butter. Then , the fried half platter with shrimp, fish, crawfish balls, soft shield, crab and plenty of fries.

Now folks, if you ever wondered what happens when the Good Lord gets a craving for seafood, He probably points His cloud right toward Deanie’s in Bucktown. The place smells like a sermon on butter, garlic, and fried cornmeal—and brother, that’s a religion I can get behind. Deanie’s has been sittin’ proud since 1961, back when Bucktown was all shrimp boats and stories, and the only traffic jam was a couple of pelicans arguin’ over a bait bucket. John and Alma “Deanie” Livacari started it as a little market by the lake, sellin’ seafood so fresh it probably still had a social life. Then along came the Chifici family in the early ’80s, who turned that humble shack into a full-blown temple of Gulf goodness. They didn’t change the spirit—just gave it a little more room for the faithful to gather. You walk in today and the air’s thick with crab boil and laughter. The tables are loud, the beer’s cold, and the floor’s got just enough stick to remind you somebody spilled a good time there before you. It’s the kind of joint where “fine dining” means a full basket and a happy heart. Now about that fried oyster platter—mercy. It comes out lookin’ like Mardi Gras on a plate, a golden mountain that’ll make you forget your cholesterol and your better judgment. No garnish, no pretense, just a pile of oysters so perfectly fried you’ll swear the chef’s got a deal with Poseidon himself. Crunch outside, briny heaven inside, all sittin’ on a mess of fries that exist solely to catch what your napkin can’t. You drown those oysters in hot sauce, squeeze a little lemon for show, and by the time you’re done, you’ll be leanin’ back in your chair grinnin’ like a man who just got away with somethin’. Deanie’s ain’t just a restaurant—it’s proof the world’s still got a few honest pleasures left. And when you finally waddle out, belly full and spirit lighter, you’ll find yourself thinkin’ the same thing I did: “Well, I may not know what heaven looks like, but I sure hope it smells like Deanie’s.”

The food was pretty good. I tried the crawfish rolls, which were delicious with a mild kick from the spice. I also had the shrimp platter and swapped the fries for red beans and rice. The beans were perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth, though I would’ve liked a little more rice. The shrimp was good, and the cocktail sauce tasted like it was made in-house. Just a heads up: like many places here, they leave the tails on the shrimp, and sometimes there’s still the vein. My friend had the combo platter, and I tried her fried oysters and they were pretty good, especially dipped in ketchup mixed with hot sauce.

The food was delicious, the staff so kind. I hope management acknowledges Brianna- she is one of the best servers I had in my life. She was extremely efficient , kind and patient. She checked on the table multiple times and ensured our food tasted good.

I drive a hour away to make it to this place, I will take everyone that I take out to eat to Deanies. This is the best place ever. I love the food, they do you right no matter what you order. the employees, they are so friendly and nice, the restaurant is in a lovely area, I come down at least twice a month with different people every time. We get the same lovely service every time. Hats off to Deanie's managers, employees, and all that makes us feel like kings and Queens. Thank you all, we love you ❤️❤️❤️

Really enjoyed my meal here. I ordered a cup of chicken & shrimp gumbo with an order of friend shrimp. Before our meal came out, we received a plate of the most delicious red potatoes. I'm used to bread being served before the meal comes, but Deanie's may be on to something with these potatoes! They were deliciously seasoned and cooked perfectly. It didn't take long for our order to come out and everything was fresh and hot. Our waitress was very friendly and answered any questions that we had. My only complaint was that I wish we had been informed of the 20% charge for splitting the check. We were a party of 2, had we known that, we would have asked for one check and split it up ourselves later.

Out in the town for a little vacation from Las Vegas. Deanie's is staple so we had to stop by. We ordered the stuffed shrimp and a pound boiled shrimp. Food was delicious, stuffed shrimp were crispy and not overly filled. My wife and I were very pleased with the carrot soufflé! We could have easily eaten ten more of those.

We visit Deanie's every time we're back in town -- the food is fantastic, the portions are generous, and we love that it's local. But our latest visit was extra special thanks to Felicia. Warm, engaging, confident, and next-level observant, Felicia has a way of making everyone feel cared for. While I was debating what to order to cover our daughter without ending up buried in leftovers, she swooped in with the perfect suggestion -- reading my mind before I even asked. Later, when an older woman nearby began coughing, Felicia appeared in seconds to help her, before her own tablemates even moved. With a big family across the room whose boys were getting a little too rambunctious, she gently set things right without skipping a beat. And when it came time to pay, before he could mention it she asked my husband, "military discount?" -- she'd simply picked up on it from the way he spoke, and she was spot on. Felicia doesn't just care for her tables -- she takes care of the whole space, making people feel seen, valued, and appreciated. Deanie's is always great, but for a truly special experience, ask for Felicia. She's a gem, and she makes the place shine even brighter.

Deanie's catered the Rummel class of 85 reunion last weekend and I was very impressed. The setup was seamless and the caterers were very professional. The food was deliciousĺ. I have never had such tasty New Olreans classics as their Crawfish Etoufee and jambalaya. The etouffee was packed with crawfish and the roux was out of this world. The jambalaya had a lot of chopped seasoning that gave it such a great taste whi h was so different from the usual dry bland versions that many restaurants offer. The catfish was seasoned and fried to perfection with a nice flavorful batter. The bread pudding was delectable. I will definitely use Deanie's catering for my next event.

We had the most amazing experience here! I knew when the first thing I heard was "hey baby", I was in my Louisiana home. Felicia was our waitress and she was hands down the most welcoming, friendly, warm and kind person I have ever met. I would come here again and again! The food was out of this world and the service is top notch. You will not be disappointed! Please go visit Felicia, she is fabulous. Don't forget tho, it's "hi Felicia, not bye Felicia:-)"

Just left Deanie's Seafood in Metairie. Friday lunchtime was not crowded. Our server, Cree, was great! The food was average, but nothing that would draw us back there. The prices were average. BUT, without warning, we were charged a "Service Charge" because we asked to split the check!!! There were 4 of us and we asked to split 3 ways. We were given no notice about the "Service Charge" despite the fact that we talked to the server a LOT about not having been there for many years. We will NOT be going back. There are so many other seafood restaurants where the food is outstanding, the service is also great, and there is no Service Charge to split the check. [Maybe that explains why there was no crowd.]

My family ate at Deanie's Seafood in Bucktown today. We had 2 giant seafood platters that were cooked to perfection. We also had onion rings that were wonderfully seasoned with tender juicy onions. Today we tried the bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer. They were delicious. We also had the best server I've ever had at Deanie's and for that matter, anywhere. This servers name is Felicia, and if you go to Deanie's, you should definitely ask for her. We never had to ask for drink refills, extra napkins, tartar sauce, or cocktail sauce. It was an amazing experience that I would recommend for everyone. Liz C.

The food was amazing! My favorite was the crab balls, and bbq shrimp! This was my first time trying fried soft crabs and it wasn't what I thought, it was good as well. The service was good as well, nothing took too long to come out, even though it was busy the food still came out fast. They also bring potatoes out to the table while you wait on your food, that was a great touch to the experience . I will be back again, I enjoyed the food, the vibe and the service !

Went to Deanies in Bucktown tonight and ordered a half seafood platter. Then went next door ans ordered 4 medium to large boiled crabs. The platter was good, but not enough food for $47. A tad bit too salty and you could tell the oysters were refried. The boiled crabs - the crab meat tasted like straight soap or cleaner. Not sure if they got sprayed by accident, but it made me so mad because I really like Deanie's crabs. It just ruined my night.

Omg ... if you like fried seafood and are really hungry this is the place to be. After you see the size portions of what they give you, you ask yourself who could eat all that. Start with a crab gumbo that was awesome, then we ordered fried artichoke hearts. For my entrée, we shared a gigantic plate of fried seafood all was great, but those fried oysters are to die for. If you're ever in the area visit this location. Check this place out I know you'll like it.

My auntie love Deanie's and wanted to get out of New Orleans during our visit. So to Bucktown we go. It was full but not to crowded for a Friday night. Prices are reasonable we decided to share a fried 2 platter combo substituting the French fries for red beans and rice. First of all. The potato's are perfectly cooked. Seasons soft. I love them. My aunt had a cup of seafood gumbo. It was very oceany lol if that's a word. Very seafood forward. To much for my liking but she ate the whole cup. The shrimp and catfish was GREAT . Lightly battered seasoned to perfection. Had just the right amount of seasoning and heat. Hands down the best read beans and rice I have had at a long long time. EVEN THE TARTAR AND COCKTAIL SAUCE IS AMAZING ! 10 out of 10 And my aunt decided to order a shrimp poboy to go. I'm sure it will be great. Courtney was great! Attentive and knowledgeable.

10/27/2024 When in LA you have to get crawfish, oysters and more! My boyfriend's god mother wanted to take us to Deanie's Seafood and I am always down to try a new spot. As long as I get my oysters lol That was my mission while I was here. Eat as many oysters as I can. For the table we ordered the following: Boiled potatoes with butter on the side. Two trays of charbroiled oysters- BBQ charbroiled oysters and the charbroiled oyster with crab on top. 6 boiled crabs- Side note this is when I learned how to break them apart. Pretty cool! I ordered the catfish platter. This platter could be for three people! There was so much I took it home and ate it on the plane. My boyfriend ordered the Barbeque shrimp. The portion of food on his plate was huge. He tore it up! My boyfriends god mother ordered the combo platter. This came with shrimp, oysters and catfish. I should have ordered this. The oysters were delicious. Everything we ordered was amazing! I would have ordered another tray of oyster but my boyfriends god mother was paying so I didn't want to be greedy haha just means I need to make another trip out there.

What separates a good meal from a truly memorable experience is the quality of service, and Felicia exceeded all expectations. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care transformed our lunch into an unforgettable afternoon. Deanie's should be proud to have such a remarkable team member. Upon arriving at Deanie's with my father, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting ambiance. It was 2:00 in the afternoon, and my father hadn't eaten all day due to a busy morning. His hunger was palpable, and I worried that his patience might wear thin. However, Felicia's attentive and compassionate demeanor put us both at ease. Felicia was not just a server; she was a true professional who exuded excellence in every interaction.. Her patience was unwavering as we perused the menu, and she made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. When our orders arrived, Felicia ensured that my father's seafood platter was served promptly and he had sufficient condiments. She checked in on us discreetly, making sure that he had everything he needed. Her genuine concern for his well-being touched my heart. But it didn't end there. During the course of our meal, I shared with Felicia that my father had driven over two hours to meet up with me. As we finished our meals and packaged the remainder, Felicia surprised us by offering to pack my father's remaining beverage in a to-go cup for his return ride. It was a small gesture, but it spoke volumes about her commitment to exceptional service. As we left the restaurant, I knew that we would be back. Deanie's has earned a loyal customer in me, and I eagerly look forward to returning to Felicia's section. Bisque 5/5 A great alternative to gumbo. Onion rings 5/5 Plentiful, crispy and served piping hot. Perfect for sharing, Ice cream pina colada 5/5 Delicious and packs a punch.

This was a local recommendation to try and honestly, I was willing to be adventurous. I'm glad I did, because the food was really good and you get HUGE portion sizes. They fill those styrofoam containers to the brim! This place is no frills so expect a few health code violations somewhere lol. Speaking of violations, the bathroom was unclean and scary looking, but that doesn't take away from the food. Next time I'll get takeout.

Deanie's is an amazing spot for great seafood that is reasonably priced. The service is good and the staff makes you feel like you're at your mama's house. The ambiance is very homey as well. My family has been going to Deanie's for years and we just brought a group of out of town friends and they loved it. Highlights were the shrimp etoufeé, the 1/2 fried seafood platter, and the bbq shrimp.

When I lived in the New Orleans area, this was one of my favorite go-to places. Sophia and I had takeout boxes on every stop. Believe me, when you enjoy seafood, you know you'll leave full halfway through your plate. Would this visit be another one of those incidents? We were seated after walking inside. Just like before, the inside was beautiful. I should've taken a photo of the bar area, but oh well...LOL!! We immediately got to ordering within minutes. They served complimentary red potatoes with butter. Very good and even tasted of some pepper. For both of us, we selected soft shell crab with french fries. Deeeee-licious!! Properly seasoned and lightly fried. And you probably guess right, we ended up with takeout boxes. The food still tasted the same like earlier. A much needed stop during our Christmas visit. You can never go wrong with homemade seafood. Hopefully we'll be back next year. Till next time :)

Deanie's is my go-to for a fried shrimp poboy. I have been quite a few times this summer and their fried shrimp are excellent. On top of the excellent shrimp poboy, I love the potatoes that are given at the beginning of your meal. I will continue to frequent Deanie's in Bucktown!

OH. MY. GOODNESS! This place has the best food, hands down! The service is friendly. The prices are right. They know what they are doing in the kitchen at Deanie's!! Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. The crab claws were swimming in the most flavorful lemon, garlic butter sauce I have ever tasted. Everything was good - but they were the star of the meal. This place is definitely on my list for when we return to NOLA.

Deanie's Seafood has consistently gotten better over the years. Their menu has improved substantially along with the flavors of their food. This isn't my favorite spot to get boiled seafood as often they seem to overcook their boiled shrimp which is an unfortunate trend many seafood joints seem to have in common these days. Deanie's has always done a great job with their fried seafood options and their fried seafood platters have always been fantastic things. Their broiled and fried fish options are typically nice choices here. Their specials and sides have also really improved over the years so that you have a really nice selection of different items not many other places offer these days. There are also not many places in this area that do as much volume as Deanie's does so they usually get their food out really fast! Everything here is decent to fantastic for the most part and there are certainly more and more places that do far worse food while there are fewer and fewer places that make authentic New Orleans Creole food like they do at Deanie's. Overall this is a place you can bring a big group and they will likely have something that most folks can eat. The biggest area for improvement is their boiled shrimp as so far it has been 100% frustratingly overcooked EVERY time I have ordered it so now I've given up on even trying to order the boiled shrimp again until I hear it is being prepared better. My video review of Deanie's in Bucktown is here: https://youtu.be/Bt4oLYqmmZQ

Good service. It's funny- they serve boiled potatoes and butter instead of bread and butter. The 2 stars is for the food: bacon wrapped shrimp were super small and over cooked (had a sauce on it, which is odd for me). The stuffed fried shrimp was too stuffed and gooey. Just not my taste of food.

Our server was Felicia and she took care of us so well. We didn't have to ever ask for anything. Very sweet & polite! Now what goes along with great service? It's great food! Deanie's did not disappoint. Food was outstanding! Very flavorful served hot and more than enough on the portion sizes. You won't leave here hungry. Seafood was fresh & you could taste the difference. Highly recommend!

Today for lunch went to the original deanie's location (hadn't been there in like 25 years). Got a shrimp poboy - whoever made this poboy needs to go train at the magazine street location - sandwich was just thrown together with shrimp that were a bit over cooked and payed extra for dressed which was mostly chopped lettuce. When I go to the magazine location the shrimp are hot and cooked just right and dressed means more than just lettuce, two tomato slices and three pieces of pickle. Guess next time I want a shrimp poboy, I need to go uptown or to another seafood restaurant.

Visiting New Orleans from Dallas, TX and decided to stop by here for some good seafood ! Walking in - the person at the front desk was super nice and sat us pretty quick! But the star of this establishment is Miss Felicia ! Her service and personality is 100% what most restaurants are missing nowadays ! We barely had to ask for refills, she gave great recommendations as far as what to order (not pictured: the ice cream pina colada was 10/10) the conversation was great! I'm already planning my next trip to NOLA and i'm making sure I come back and get seated with her again !

Service was great. Red Beans Mon night special was great. Boiled Crabs were awful - so salty could barely eat them and so overcooked the meat stuck inside. Meat was discolored in several and several of the dozen we ordered were inedible. Also the meat was obviously frozen and at the inflated prices they charged, a huge disappointment. Disgusted! Should close if can't do better. By comparison our Tue night boiled crabs at Kinney Seafood in Slidell were amazing as were the dozen we had this past weekend from Fat Boy seafood on the Maryland Eastern Shore - we eat boiled crabs a lot so we know what's good and what isn't. Deanie's boiled crabs were the worst I've ever been served. Hands down.

Amazing service tonight! Our waiter (Casey) did a fantastic job! Casey was very attentive. His soft spoken, respectful manner was refreshing. So much so that I decided to get on here to give him a shout out for such a great job! The food was hot and delicious. The portion of food filled the platter.

I've lived in New Orleans in Chalmette before the hurricane since 98. I live up in Ponchatoula now and I've never been to DD Seafood. I've always said always heard they have good food but I can tell you one thing there is a waitress in your call Felicia she is the best waitress I've ever had in any restaurant throughout my whole life. The way she took care of us is a brilliant... even the start of the process she took good care of us. She even brought me two drinks right in the beginning, but I've never had a waitress take good care of us before my life her big deserves every penny of it thank you for Lisa from Deanie's in Metairie. I would definitely say go there and get Felicia to serve you. Food was great service was even better. I would say the best like I said I've ever had in my life. Thank you again.

We wanted to go somewhere away from the French quarter and this restaurant was perfect. KC was our server and he was a sweetheart. We were given red potatoes with butter as a complementary appetizer. Blue crab was available for purchase in 3 different sizes (Medium,Large,Jumbo). Blue crab pictured are large size since they were out of Jumbo. Crab was made fresh and came out hot. Soft shell crab was ordered a la cart but would have loved go try it on the sandwich option they have available. Restaurant was very cozy and welcoming

Mid July 2023 and unfortunately was informed that crawfish was out of season. Went with charbroiled oysters, crawfish bisque, shrimp, and onion rings instead. Oysters: 5/5 must try. Coupled with the bread it was heaven. Crawfish bisque: 4/5, it was really great, again finishing the soup with the bread was heavenly. Shrimp: 3/5. Not salty unlike other places, done well but maybe it sat somewhere too long because it was on the cool side when it arrived. Corn was disappointing as portions of it was still ice cold, so maybe it wasn't steamed long enough. Onion rings: just didn't like it. Too much breading and gave it up after a couple of pieces. Overall would recommend this place for the oyster and bisque alone.

Started with a spicy Bloody Mary and it is good and spicy. Artichoke hearts with ranch and marinara was really good. Grand seafood platter to feed 3 of us and boy it's a lot of food. It could definitely feed a few more. We had 2 full to go boxes. Seafood was crispy and delicious!
