New Orleans Seafood Hamburger Co.

It took a while to sit, but it was worth waiting. the food was good and our server dre was wonderful. it was almost the closing time when we were there, they did not try to push us, eat or nothing. Big southern hospitality, and that comes from someone who is south because I am from ga. I have to say so.

We had an hour to grab something to eat before my sweetheart was arriving on the choo choo from New England so of course the obvious choice was to head for the French Quarter and came across this place. I love the open air restaurants in this town and this one fits the bill. This place has been around since 1984 and is at the beginning of the French quarter close to the Riverside, river walk and the end of Canal Street and conveniently located across from great parking. (I park here quite a bit but the process are rediculous now $10 for 1st hr $33 for the 2nd, rediculous) They have eight locations in and around Nawlins. I ate upstairs here a few years ago and don 't remember the meal but was glad to be here on this night. We were seated downstairs right away with only one other table occupied. There 's hot sauces condiments at the table our server, sorry forgot her name, takes our drink order puts in our app order. There 's a muted big screen TV close by, which doesn 't make a lot of sense to me because the street view is plenty entertaining. The menu is small enough to absorb quickly and we put in our order. Shrimpzailla is a feature menu item a distinct Nawlins flare with fried shrimp, roast beef debris gravy, Swiss cheese, shredded cabbage and Creole mustard sauce and while my son enjoyed it I immediately notice that their shrimp was not deveined and that 's a huge no-no for my palette, disappointing. The other stand-alone 2 poboys are the bbq shrimp one-handed sloppy roast beef. My comfort food of choice was a solid bowl of red beans and rice with a couple pieces of lightly toasted buttered French bread. It was seasoned well without unnecessary chunky veggies or distractions from the stars, beans. We started with the alligator poppers and they were unlike any I 've had anywhere else. They 're 4 meatball sized deep fried balls filled with ground gator meat in a mix of veggies seasoned filling and served with an orange marmalade dip that really compliments this very tasty app, a winner. The big star were the garlic fries that were to die for, absolutely the very best steak-style fries I have ever tasted, period! The cook, seasoning the garlic glaze was so flavorful and well executed I would feature them with all the dishes. I don 't recall ever having my mouth water when thinking is any kind of potato, they 're that good! Other apps are crawfish queso, boudin balls, Buffalo wings chili cheese fries. They offer some nice looking whole meal salads like the sizzling shrimp remoulade, strawberry fields, chicken Ceasar, grilled shrimp Ceasar fried oyster Ceasar. To represent the hamburger in their name there 's an impressive lineup of burgers like the big ch-easy, gourmet, all-American, mushroom Swiss, roadhouse, hickory bacon cheeseburger, big veggie, chilli cheeseburger the rajun ' cajun. They have more fried seafood choices that come as platters or poboys, fried oysters, thin or thick catfish fried shrimp plus the seafood platter that has all these with boudin balls. They have a whole section of the menu called comfort food with city 's best gumbo, Nawlins style jambalaya (not NY style lol), bayou pasta, alfredo pasta, fish almondine, grilled fish catfish lafite. There 's a $7.99 four item kids menu finally 2 desserts, bread pudding chocolate nut brownie a le mode. Bottom line: Great location, the ambience is very true to the French Quarter, the bar is nice with a full range of regular and Nawlins special cocktails. Single bathroom, that needs a little work, downstairs with another upstairs. Close quarters that 's not very handicap accessible. But the food is solid, place is clean and the entire staff checks-in to make sure you 're a happy customer.

Our waitress was kind and check up on us regularly and refilled our drinks when needed. Overall the food was pretty good. Their garlic fries re pretty tasty. We got the catfish platter and shrimpzilla po boy. Dont spend the extra $3 for the platter. You only get a small cup of preshredded cabbage and 2 tiny hushpuppies that are just fried cornbread balls in addition to the normal meal. The shrimp po boy was good with the gravy. I recommend putting tartar on it as well. Sit by the front windows for good views of the street crowd :

Man this place has incredible food, but for the 2nd year in a row, the service has been terrible. It totally would get 5 stars for food, but service is subpar. We got the crawfish queso for an appetizer and it was delicious! Husband got BBQ chesseburger and for 2nd year in a row, I got the Bayou Pasta which was delicious as always. Waited 18 minutes just to have someone to come take our drink order. Appetizer came out at a reasonable time, but food took 49 minutes. I asked for sweet tea refill that never got filled and our waitress never came back to remove our appetizer plate, which we placed on the floor because we didn't have enough room. We also split a cup of gumbo which was awesome. Again, the food here is top notch and delicious, but service needs a major overhaul.

Food was awesome but the service, let me tell you, some of the worse I 've ever received anywhere ever! We came as a big group because it was a family reunion and we all had our shirts on and we 're seated together. So you would thing the servers would understand that meant big tip but obviously not. We were ignored for awhile. After orders were finally taken the food came and drinks all came out at different times. Some of us had long waits and no refills and my table didn 't get silverware until we finally got a different servers attention and even then it was not given to us until after we are our food! Who needs it then?? One of the servers even had an attitude with my mother when she asked for a box. Question: Could I have a box? Reply: Is that it? Do not think any of the people in my party with ever be back! If anything maybe just pick up the food and go because, like I said, the food was awesome!
