The Blue Crab New Orleans

The Blue Crab is always a great choice for a delicious meal in a fantastic location. Despite the high prices of crabs, this restaurant continues to serve them on their menu. Many believe that Maryland has the best crab, but the truth is that Louisiana actually has the best crab meat. The Louisiana blue crab meat served at The Blue Crab is considered to be the best in the world, making it a must-try when dining at this restaurant.

It was easy to enjoy happy hour at this restaurant! The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was incredible. I even found a tiny pearl in my oyster!

This was our first visit to the restaurant and we were not disappointed. We came to celebrate my birthday and everything was delicious. We started with the grilled oysters and crabs. I ordered the stuffed flounder, my partner had the oyster and shrimp platter, and my daughter had the shrimp po' boy. Everything was served hot and fresh. Our waiter, Keys, was excellent. He was very attentive, polite, and professional.

Favourite seafood place. everything is one must try (to be thrilled sometimes that I forget to make photos) all 6 weeks we visit this place to lunch or happy hour. (It's so close to my orthopedic that I can't resist whenever)

As a local, I somehow had managed to never dine here…but very glad I finally have! I brought my foodie grandmother who loves this place, and we were pleased with the overall experience. The food was delicious and plentiful, and my drink (Blue Crab Collins) was perfect for a summer day. We got the bbq shrimp and onion rings as appetizers the crab cake sandwich and combo seafood platter for entrees. I would recommend any of those options, although the fried seafood wasn’t my favorite of all time. Plenty of tables and a live band downstairs. I will say, it is a little annoying to not be able to make a reservation…you can call ahead to be placed on the wait list but still will have to wait once you’re there. (This was mostly just frustrating to explain to a hangry grandma lol) There is an elevator which is great if you have an elderly person or someone who is mobility-impaired or disabled. It was busy on a Saturday lunch but nothing too much to cause an especially long wait. Our server was a very attentive and patient woman, and she gave great service (I think her name was something like Gloria It’s lovely to sit and watch the boats go by! We will definitely go back!
