Best Place for Crawfish in New Orleans

The weather is changing, festival season is on its way and that means its time to get outside and enjoy one of the things Louisiana does best: crawfish! This week, we’re sharing the best places we like to get crawfish right now (though, most places around the city will have a pop-up or two throughout the season if they’re not serving crawfish all the time).

Honorable mention: Nola Boils. They don’t have a brick and mortar, but they bring the whole boil to you. So, anyone planning baby showers, birthday parties or just want to gift your employees (*hint hint*), head over to nolaboils.com to learn more.

Bayou Beer Garden

Everyday but Monday you can head into Mid-City for some crawfish by the go-plate at Beer Garden.

Clesi's

Also in Mid-City, Clesi’s is a fan-favorite when it comes to the boil. Grab your tray and some boiled seafood and it’s a perfect night.

Seithers Seafood

For $20, you can get a three pound platter of crawfish with all the fixings over at Seithers. Not sure about y’all, but we could definitely put away three pounds of crawfish. And they have live music on the weekends!

Frankie & Johnny's

This place needs no reasoning. Frankie & Johnny’s is a classic. Get your crawfish with the legend.
