Seither’s Seafood

Hands down the best boiled seafood I’ve ever tried. Everything was packed with flavor, cooked just right, and clearly made with care even without sauce. The service was excellent—friendly and attentive. You can tell they take pride in both their food and their hospitality. They are also dog friendly 🐶❤️. We left completely satisfied and will definitely be back. Highly recommend to any seafood lover!

It was a lot smaller than I expected, but that honestly made the experience all that more enjoyable. Everyone seemed to know everyone and the servers were so kind and knowledgeable, even taking the time to show up how to take apart the blue crabs! My boyfriend and I got “The Hamper” and it was by far the best option if you’re looking for the best Seafood Boil at an amazing price! 10/10 experience and would highly recommend coming here if you get the chance. It’s a little off the beaten path, but that’s where the best memories are made👌🏼

This was an amazing lunch. The seafood was fresh, the bread was tasty and you could tell they take pride in what they do. For the table we had the hot crab dip but with crawfish which was better than any I've had in New Orleans or the Gulf Coast. I then had the spicy roast beef Po Boy. It was home cooked fall apart tender roast beef and the toppings especially the potato sticks made it special as well as the spicy mayo. One of my lunch companions has blackened Gulf fish. Our server said pretty much anything but oysters can be blackened even if the menu doesn't list it. My other colleague has the sushi po boy and it was super well done the tuna perfectly cooked. I wanted to try the Totem Pole but there was no way I could have finished it for lunch even, but the table next to us had it and it looked AMAZING! This place is not in downtown New Orleans or the French Quarter but you can tell it's better than some of the famous restaurants in those areas. Take an Uber or drive and try it out. You won't be disappointed.

Is this your best? Friday, 11:45 we arrived and saw a table available outside and took a seat. Quickly a server brought us menus and took drink orders. Drinks came a few minutes later and we were ready to order. Nice day, nice spot and prompt friendly people. Two dishes, nachos arrived within 10 minutes and the bisque a few later. My friends enjoyed the food and raved at what a nice take on nachos. 20 minutes passed and the server came to me that she would check on my crawfish order. Another 10 passed and she told me the order had gotten misplaced but it was coming. Finally, another 10 minutes and my friends were finished eating and soon came my 5lbs of crawfish. Not only did I eat alone, the food was not hot, the corn was cold, half of the crawfish were very small and as one who knows how to cook them - overcooked and mushy. The potatoes and corn are not cooked in the pot with the rest and were ok but just cooked. My friends were very pleased I suggested to come out here. Well, for me, you can guess. Nice idea, poor execution. All in all not a surprise. Read their reviews, check out their website. They don’t care if you don’t come back. Choose wisely.

Tried this place for the first time today and all I can say is WOW! Absolutely phenomenal! They know what they’re doing here. The menu is fun and creative, the crawfish were perfectly cooked and flavorful, the crab dip is INSANELY good for what it is… The service and the atmosphere? Equally as awesome! We can’t wait to come back!

The food here was fantastic! It was creative, flavorful, and completely focused on seafood. Would highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

Let's start with the food ladies and gentlemen. Always spectacular. Always tasty always what you want when you want to get Seafood no matter fried or boiled Etc. The restroom I'll have to give three stars. Only cuz there was a salad sitting on top of the men's toilet. And no mirror in the men's bathroom. What gentleman does not want to check himself out before going back out to dinner to his beautiful wife, Etc.. All good though. Seithers Seafood. We love you. Thank you for all the hard work that goes behind the scenes to make us satisfied as a whole. Keep up the hard work. You guys rock.

Onion ring appetizer, Fantastic, the pasta with the soft shell crab on top of it. Fantastic the eggplant with the crab meat on top of it off the chain would definitely be back.

I have been coming here for years and I am never disappointed; in fact, I feel like it just keeps getting better and better. The hamper is seafood prepared like no other that reveals the genius Chef Jason is. I'm not sure what he does or how he does it, but the output and product is beyond words. The service is always meticulous. If they get it wrong, they make up for it immediately. Bottom line, they care, and that makes all the difference in the world. I love it here and love everything about it. The ambience is just what you want for a seafood restaurant. If you love seafood, you have to try Seither's. Being a seafood lover and not trying Seither's is like considering yourself a scholar and never going to school.

This place was absolutely delicious. We had huge fresh oysters on a half shell. It was delicious and tender. The Alaskan Snow Crabs were amazing. We also had their off menu seafood gumbo. Definitely coming back. And their local brews were a perfect compliment. Reservations are recommended. And don't worry about the restrooms. They are small but clean.

Incredible menu. Creative combos. Very small casual indoor dining space; nice outdoor space with fire pits and live music. Oysters were delicious and fried green tomatoes and onion rings. Next time I would order my BLT oyster po boy without all the mayo and sauce. It was too much. Fairly expensive IMO. For three people (we had no alcohol) it was $88 + tip.

This place was recommended to me by my coworkers. This was one of the best meals I've ever had in NOLA. It has a classic NOLA feel and the food is darn good. We ordered oysters, crawfish, shrimp and fried soft shell crab. Everything was perfect and tastes very fresh. This is definitely one of my top favorite restaurants in NOLA of all time. Service is great. However, they get very busy, so be prepared to wait. It is worth the wait and has the classic NOLA ambience.

Food: consistently good, affordable for made to order dishes. Best seafood around. Boiled, fried, chargrilled seafood. Service: family oriented restaurant. Friendly service. Parking is tricky and limited. Ambiance: anything goes family. Busy.has outdoor seating with occasional live music.

This little gem in Harahan is outstanding. First, you have the down home feel with the oyster shell parking lot. Second, their is the waitstaff that treats you like family rather than as a customer. Third, certainly not least, the amazing food. Their menu is unique but you can still taste the familiarity of local seafood. Then adding to a great experience is the live bands some nights.

But this place is really gotten to be a dump. The bathrooms are terrible. The boil crawfish was actually actually really bad. I don't know what they put in their water, but it is nasty. The crabs were nice size but terribly under season. I really don't think I'll ever be back.

This is a real hidden gem, very small but the food is amazing and very creative. Fresh seafood in unique style and delicious. The service is also excellent and I highly recommend this place, I can't wait to try some other dishes on my next visit

After years of hearing about this place from my old high school friends I had it on my list of must get to places. I finally made it to Seither's this past Friday with my brother. Boy were we disappointed! We ordered the crab claws appetizer and the shrimp, fish and oyster main. The crabs tasted "off" and we didn't finish them. The entree was also not palatable except maybe for the shrimp. We found ourselves scrambling for the French fries because that was the only thing we could enjoy. We left a large amount of that dish, as well. After spending over $50 for the two of us we left still hungry and not pleased. On the plus side the service staff was nice.

Price is great compared to other places. Service was also super friendly and nice. The food is decent but not exceptional. Of the three places I got fresh boiled crawfish at, this one was the cheapest at $4.99/lb but also was the least great (but still good). Got two pounds of crawfish and a pound of shrimp ($10.99) and a few corn ($4 for two pieces). The boil also has some mushrooms in it which was nice, and some onion and citrus and other stuff. Got a table inside and they also had a bunch of tables outside. I was disappointed that there were quite a few mushy/dead crawfish in the two pounds I ordered. Also, the corn was terrible, dry and flavorless, definitely not worth $4 for two half sized pieces. The crawfish was still decent overall and the shrimp was good too, just overall nothing special. The friendly service makes this 4 stars, because the food itself was probably closer to 3.5.

My sister lives here and she and her husband go all the time. We were in town visiting and she took us there tonight. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the music was great!! I actually left my purse there and am flying out early tomorrow and they came back and opened up the restaurant at 10pm just so I could get it back!! Very good people. I highly recommend it!

Monday evening early meal - what a treat in a small, unassuming location! Don't be fooled; service is excellent. Husband had the Rock & Roll Po-Boy, which he said was amazing! It was huge and the shrimp was falling all over the plate. I noshed on the Eggplant Harahan, which was way more food than I could eat. Both got to go containers, as well as a to go of the bread pudding. Even left over, it was fantastic! Portions ample, pricing reasonable, service great - we will be back.

Still the best seafood in the "New Orleans" area. I can't say it enough times that their food is incredible and it's always good. The service is quick and the people are very nice. The food comes out very quickly. And the inside restaurant is really cozy and enjoyable. I would say my only complaint is the bathroom is in bad need of... Everything. Don't let the bathroom stop you go check this place out now. Happy Fooding!!!

This place is great! I loveeeee seafood and this is one of the best in town! I definitely recommend to tourists or just anyone willing to go. The service was out of this world and everyone was so nice. The place was really nice and I will 100% be back. #replacingbristol

Finally open and I'm thinking of them at the same time. This has been on my try list for several years. Imagine my regret at all that missed tastiness. Mary says best eggplant napoleon she has ever had. Bisque was extra creamy and they used large shrimp. Delish! There was an herb that looked like clover on top of both dishes. Not sure it was additive to flavor but it was eye catching. I was told it was micro greens but they seemed unusually large. Table near us had soft shell crab blt. The bacon looked like ribbons on top of the sandwich. Beautiful presentation. Someone in the kitchen cares about food. Looking forward to my next trip.

I ordered the Three Amigos platter to go. It was good. I was a little let down with the first bite. It was a rubbery oyster. The rest were fried okay however the shrimp and oysters were over seasoned with lemon. The redfish was better. I guess it had a different batter. My order was handled well by a kind and courteous lady. Seither's has a very down-home seating area with wild decor did not have time to appreciate because I was in and out so quickly.

Amazing food and amazing service. We sat outside for dinner and the staff turned on the heaters because it was somewhat cold. Made all the difference.

Hands down my favorite place I ate at when visiting the New Orleans area - and that's a place full of delicious food at every turn. Living in the Midwest it's not easy to come by seafood so this was AMAZING. I stumbled upon this as it was featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives! It was close to the airport so the perfect opportunity to grab lunch before heading out of town. The ambiance was such a vibe. Fun music, brightly colored art around and a stage for bands. If I lived nearby I would probably be here every day. My husband ordered a dozen oysters in the half shell and DANNNGG if they weren't the biggest sea monsters I've ever seen. So huge. So tasty. We also split "The Hamper" which was absolutely way too much food but I've never been happier. It was a boiled seafood feast. 2lbs of crawfish, 1lb of blue crab, 1lb of shrimp, 1lb snow crab and corn/potatoes. Seasoned well- served with butter and extra sauces. Get ready to get messy! It was all amazing but shout out to the shrimp that were literally so tender and fresh. Without a doubt make a stop here next time you are in the area! Our waitress even asked how we found it and when I mentioned triple D she gave us a thumbtack to add where we came from on a giant map of the US!

Excellent food, excellent service! I've enjoyed anything I've ever ordered from here but of course the boiled seafood is phenomenal.

Placed and order for two half sea food platters half fish half shrimp later evening on tonight 12/6/24 it was awful I was so shocked good thing I looked inside the platters before I signed my ticket for $60 something and left because if I had gotten home with that food OMG! It looked like I got what was left over in the pickings pan.. cold ugly pieces of nasty fish and shrimp the fish chunks that looked refried and were not enough to make the back end of one side of a small fish! How horrible to sell a customer crappy food! This would have made it on a Chef Ramsey Kitchen Nightmare episode! Then I am told "oh we will go fry you some fresh fish" well little good that did it wasn't much better your "new small pieces".. what a dam joke! Come on for people paying over $60 bucks for crappy ass food -- it is just not fair! I work hard (like all of you) for my $ I understand difficult times but guess what it was not even BUSY... I have learn over the years to not except what I do not deserve and honestly ... I should have walked and not accepted any of the food ... I think a fish sandwich at McDonald's may have been a better deal! There are plenty competing restaurants around and no Resturant (owner) should ever feel so confident that they (crew) are so special that one under pleased customer cannot have a huge impact on their financial impact especially with forums like these and word of mouth in today's social media goes very far!!!!! So owners beware of what your customers are being served because it could make or break your bank! Signed A VERY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER! Who shall never return!!

When we were in town last week, we took an Uber out to try your business. Sadly, you were closed that day. Yelps business hours said you should have been open. So, I trust that your food is delicious, just disappointed that we did not get to enjoy it.

I hadn't been to Seither's in a few months, so I decided to go with a friend for crawfish. I don't know if it was an off night, but the crawfish were bland, the corn was like rubber, inedible and potatoes and sausage tasted like plain potatoes and sausage. No salt, no spice, it was terrible. I told the waitress about it and she said it was because of the issues with harvesting the crawfish. They were large, great texture, it really came down to a bad boil. I paid for my food and got an "I'm sorry." No discount, no offer to give me new food. I was so disappointed I called the manager the next day to figure out what happened and he said they have had no complaints. I considered them the best crawfish in the city, but it seems like they have fallen off.

Food looks delicious! Want to try it bad! Going back to NOLA hopefully soon! Diners dives and the other one stated that it was excellent and I am excited to see the menu and eat

IT WAS SO GOOD the service was super kind and understanding help me with lots of stuff The ambiance was so pretty I would want to decorate my room like it ( im into fishing and oyster shells) The food don't even get me started on the food it tasted like a rainbow of tastes exploded in my mouth over all 10/10 would recommend love it

Really good place although the price was a little bit pricey for a dive, but overall extremely worth it I got the nachos and they were some of the best I've ever had. If I go again the next time I definitely want to get the volcano or the totem pole Will be trying this place again one of the best places in New Orleans

Amazing rustic environment and delicious food! We had a seafood boil, onion ring tower, corn bisque, three amigos! Everything was a hit, hands down!

What can I say. I had the $50 seafood combo. What a deal and the seafood was delicious. Two pounds of crawfish, crabs, shrimp and snow crabs. What a deal for all that seafood. Highly recommended while it lasts.

Amazing service, super kind, and the food was great! The place was also very nice. The food was so good, i think thats the most I've ever eaten. As a tourist to this area I definitely recommend and it was a great experienc!

I've been there 3 times and the food was great, service was good and the presentation was excellent!

The service was awesome! Loved eating outdoors. Sad we missed the crawfish season but we will be back! The lovely lady that waited on our table was so sweet and put up with our stupidity! The food was very good and the hospitality great!

Local casual spot. Small space inside with outside seating as well. Server was excellent and food came out quickly! I tried the totem pole and the roast beef po boy. The totem pole was a stack of fried eggplant with fried soft shell crab with a cream sauce that was flavorful. I like a sloppy roast beef, so this one didn't have much gravy to me. The roast had good flavor, but they didn't have Swiss cheese. Overall, the place was good in my book!

OMG the seafood nachos alone should get you here- but everything on the menu is terrific. And I love the vibe- Relaxed and neighborly and friendly service Parking light be tight- be respectful of neighbors. (I asked the home how we if I could park next to his house, which of course I could but show respect and it helps the business too) I'll be back!

I finally tried Seither's Seafood two weeks ago and now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long! I kept hearing great things but kept putting it off for some reason... never again! I'll be back again and again for sure. We got the onion rings, Eggplant Harahan (fried eggplant with crabmeat dressing, topped with cream sauce, shrimp, and parmesan), Tuna Poke Salad (ahi tuna, lettuce, crabmeat salad. shrimp, avocado, cucumber and tomato with soy vinaigrette), and boiled crawfish. Everything was super flavorful and fresh. I can't wait to come back!

I love this place that reminds me of the old lakefront places where the whole family would meet some for boiled seafood and some for fried. The kids would get a little bit of everything. You walk on oyster shells before entering the building if you choose to eat inside or they have tables outside if you prefer. The food is a combination of everything The boiled crawfish are perfect. The seasoning is just enough for your lips to feel tingling . As good as home boiled. In addition to the regulars stuff that's fried, which by the way is always fried crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the put stuff together. One of my favorite is the seafood Napoleo. They put eggplant ,shrimp in a sauce and when they put it together you can't get enough until you are really full. Try this place next time you are in Harahan

I took my team from work here at 3PM on a Thursday and it was a wonderful experience! I did call ahead to let them know I was bringing a party of 10 in the middle of the afternoon just to make sure we didn't catch them in between lunch and dinner shifts. I was in the service industry so I know that is VERY helpful for small businesses. Our Server was perfection and second only to the out of the world crawfish and appetizers that we had. In my opinion this is the best crawfish I have had in at least the last 3 seasons. Do not walk!!!! Run!!!!!! Thank you for making us feel welcome and anticipating our every need! We will be back!!

Although they are a bit removed from the French Quartier, they really are a must place to visit for the best crawfish boil in New Orleans. Soooooo Good. If you are new to this type of seafood presentation, the wait staff was super friendly and helpful in showing us the tricks of attacking all those shelled creatures.

Great seafood with a twist. Everything from pasta seafood to soft shell crabs are great. Ambiance is lil to be desired but with good food it's all ok. Try it once and you'll go back.

Food and service was very good. We loved the flavor profile of everything we tried - gumbo, corn, roast beef poboy, and an eggplant dish. Server was very pleasant, but I do not recall her name. We enjoyed our visit!!

Came with friends from out of the country and decided to let them explore the messy deliciousness of crawfish. Parking was surprisingly easy for such a small lot, but walking to the front, apparently I stood in the wrong place and the "hostess" shot me a comment about being in the wrong spot and asked if I had a reservation. I had no idea that was even possible from their blog of a website. Anyhow, I informed her that I did not, but we'd be happy to sit at a table outside, to which she agreed. The service was prompt, but everyone looks and sounds so miserable. Having been in the business myself, I try to connect with each server and make their day a little better, but there was no cheering up this crowd. Food was good. Could have come out hotter, but the flavors were perfect. Nice spice, while not being too hot. Son and I split the Hamper and we had a great time. Getting your hands dirty and downing a cold one is something everyone should experience and our guests agreed. Not a meal you'd have every night, but I'd definitely return when I visit NO again.

I wish I could give a review on the food, but I got there at 755 PM on a Saturday night and was told the kitchen was closed. YELP shows they were supposed to be open until 9 PM. They said please come back, but I am sorry there weren't interested in my business.

Everything you want in GOOD Louisiana style crawfish! Well, seasoned, HUGE crawfish at a great price with options for corn, potatoes, sausage and shrimp! I'm from Louisiana, but I currently live in Orlando, FL where it's LITERALLY ($11/lbs) for TERRIBLE crawfish (because they don't know how to make it) but here at Seither's it's $3.99/lbs and it's PERFECT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Incredible food and vibe I'll be back Love it The menu begs you to try others This is the top of the top for Po-Boys

Oysters on half shell great. Egg plant also fantastic. O tried the roast beef po boy, yum yum.

Service was great and so was the crawfish. We had to go back before leaving New Orleans. Highly recommend.

I was in the area for the day and I was dying for some boiled seafood. Seriously though I thought I came to cajun land for some genuine cajun boil and I was absolutely deceived. Waitstaff was super kind and I will not take that from them which is why my rating is so generous. My boyfriend got a po boy which he absolutely loved 10/10 for him through and through. As for me... *Sigh* ‍ I actually got two pounds of boiled shrimp and a pound of snow crab with some corn and potatoes. From the moment I had this plate put on me i was suspicious but I decided to give it a chance. When I tell you it was so fucking plain, I'm a whole latina with so many tastes for food that was literally offensive. The seafood had barely any traces of their "flavor enhancer" no juice in the platter or some dipping sauce for how BARE this seafood was. The crab was cooked ok but the shrimp... Now this is where it got disrespectful. The shrimp was shriveled up and tasted like straight rubber and overcooked af. I was pretty angry because that was probably one of the saddest seafood boils I've ever had in my 27 years of life. The absolute worst part? They had just OPENED less than an hour prior. I can't blame waitstaff it's not their fault and they were kind. Whoever runs this place, get someone new to do your boiled seafood because that was a slap in the face. I live in Houston how is 7Spice and even swamp shack running circles on you guys? Probably would come back for a po boy and the waitstaff but if you're looking into some boiled seafood... Don't come here. ‍

Good food , but ordered the crab salad and it was imitation crab. Very disappointing. You would think they would have real crab meat . This is Louisiana! service , no complaints . Waitress was very friendly. Casual dress , I have gone back and I will again .The food is pretty good, just don't order the crab salad unless you like imitation crab meat. It has been a while since I had the crab salad, maybe things have changed . Next time I will ask. I do think you should give this place and try . That boiled seafood is delicious.

I guess eat at the restaurant bc to go isn't it definitely get more and prettier when you dine in..

Love this place. Small inside with a large outside seating area. Shrimp poboy was delicious. Great service.

I used to ho here every time we are in Nola. I love that food the people. So me and my husband decided to celebrate our anniversary here like we just go with out reservations any ways its not the busy times like lunch or diner. So the reason we like here is that I am an oyster lover and there oysters are fresh. So we sit and wait for someone to come. At first she offered us a drink which we put our order the asks her if they have oysters and she said only fried. Oh no my cravings turn into a nightmare. She said we should have called. At the back of my mind hey it's oysters season. For that we will never comeback. She even did not apologize.
