Why Travelers Love Deanie's Seafood
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Christina was our server and did an excellent job answering our questions about the menu and the complimentary white potatoes served since we had never experienced that before. She was very attentive. The meals we selected were delicious!!! Totally understand the restaurant's popularity. It was well worth the 20 minutes we waited for a table to become available. Highly recommend this restaurant. All I have to say is that I fell in love with the barbecue shrimp. I ended up going with the half order and some crawfish etouffee. This is all I needed. I did try the fish as well. A strong drink was also ordered 👌🏻. The cheeseburger and hamburger also looked and smelled great. The ambience is right in the middle of the French Quarter. We went during the Saints vs Patriots game and the area was packed. I'm definitely coming back here again. Our server Michelle was fantastic. Very personable and attentive. The food was excellent. We had stuffed mushrooms, creole spinach salad, stuffed shrimp, and seafood gumbo, plus a hurricane and a margarita. But before all that Michelle brought us some seafood boil potatoes. Good-ness... THIS is why we keep coming back to New Orleans.

I wasn’t really impressed with this place. The food was just okay—not bad, but nothing that I’d rave about. The prices felt way too high for what you get, and the service was on the rushed side, which didn't help the experience at all. Honestly, there wasn’t anything that really stood out to make me want to come back. The vibe of the place is nice and spacious, but that’s about the only highlight. I did enjoy the complimentary potatoes, though—they were actually pretty good! But overall, it just didn’t do it for me.

Jojo our waitress was amazing! Great friendly vibes and quick service. We are from Texas and asked a local where to go for dinner, in which they said Deanie’s and we are so glad we came here. The food was quick, fresh, and delicious!! The margarita was also a really good one. Super happy with our choice to dine here. Ask for Jojo the next time you stop by!
