User Reviews for Deanies Seafood

My whole family is from Louisiana, so I know good seafood when I am tasting it, and this is not it. This seafood is bland and tastes pre-packaged. Even the boiled seafood didn't have enough seasoning to taste like something befitting the state. I can't imagine why it should be as popular as it is among visitors to New Orleans unless they are just buying the hype and don't know better. I have bought better seafood out of gas stations. Sadly, this is not even an exaggeration. I nibbled off of a number of items had at the table: crawfish prepared four ways, fried calamari and my dish of stuffed flounder, and found everything to be average to below-average tasting. The service also left something to be desired. I can't remember the last time I stared at a glass of water for so long. I cannot in good faith recommend this place. Try Drago's for good seafood (unless you would RATHER have a foot-high plate of tripe than a tasty and satisfying meal).
Pros: Lots of food.
Cons: Food is gross.

If you're looking for a place for no thrills, kid-friendly sample of seafood this is your place. Although it was recommended in AAA magazine, we'll pass next time. The food was decent, the service reminded me of a greasy spoon diner place and the ambience--what ambience--a teenage hangout?

We went to Deanies twice during this trip to New Orleans. The BBQ shrimp was out of this world!!! Could have eaten it every day!! I will be finding that recipe!!! They serve you with spicy new potatoes rather than the traditional rolls before your meal. They were delicious and quite a nice change of pace. The second day we had the shrimp po-boy which also was quite delicious. I highly recommend trying this spot. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is great for families or couples.

It was recommeded to us by a lady working at our hotel. I thought this place was great, but when I first walked in I was a little thrown off by the atmosphere. Very loud, clanky dishes; it reminded me of a high school cafeteria. They bring out boiled potatoes to eat while you are deciding what to order, and they are wonderful. I knew then we hadn't made a mistake by staying. I also had some calamari- it was the best I've ever had, fried to perfection. The waiter was very abrupt and in a hurry, but we never went without anything we needed. I wouldnt recommend this for a romantic night out, but the food was excellent.
Pros: food, wait staff, location
Cons: loud, atmosphere

Boiled shrimp are amazing and the boiled potatoes you get instead of bread are delicious. That is where it ends. The fried seafood platter for $18 is all catfish and there is no seasoning on the fried fish. Very greatsy and heavy tasting. Good cold beer. Overall, just get the boiled shrimp.
Pros: boiled shrimp
Cons: , not the greatest
