My first time back at the Galley in about ten years. It used to be one of my favorite places for seafood when I lived in the south shore and just don’t have the opportunity to visit as much as I would like. NOLA style boiled seafood is where they shine. Our crawfish and shrimp were fantastic. Crawfish pies for an appetizer and a hot sausage poboy as good as a hot sausage poboy gets.
Was in area for a few days. Found this place. One of the best places I have ever been to. As I'm not familiar with local food, the staff helped me order and helped me eat properly since I'm from the north. It was so good and fun we came back two days later. If your near Metairie you have to stop here. I'm really sad to see any bad reviews. These are all old reviews and not current. The place is great amazing and awesome. This is my first review of anything and they deserved the greatest rating I could give. Bring the whole family.
Do yourself a favor and order the boiled shrimp. Folks, I've never seen shrimp like this. It was like I was eating chicken strips (the size) They are slightly spicy, but not over powering. We split this between 3 people and could have just kept ordering the shrimp and been happy. Our other items were red fish, crab cake and I orders the chicken parm. The sauce on my chicken was a little thick, but the chicken was tender enough to cut with a fork. Excellent meal overall.
Great neighborhood spot for po boys and seafood. This place is old school and hasn't changed a bit after all these years which is part of the reason it's so popular. Love it!!
Food was great but had to keep asking for stuff like condiments and silverware. That should've been no brainers to included with the food. Overall good food.
By far the largest and most flavorful boiled crabs and boiled crawfish I have ever experienced! As a native New Orleanian have experienced 95% of New Orleans seafood markets and restaurants! You have to try this place!
Great food, but the staff always seem flustered and inconvenienced. Makes the customer uncomfortable and feel rushed to eat & get out.
Came to Galley on the recommendation of some locals. Amazing food!! Amazing service! Will come here again next time we visit NO.
Really good seafood. Crawfish:great. Boiled Shrimp:great. Soft shell crab- delicious.
Always a must-do for me when I'm in New Orleans. Best boiled shrimp & soft shell crabs around. Love.
Second time here, I HAD to come back. First time was years ago, my first time in New Orleans. This place is great! Food was soo good. Staff was super friendly and our server, Jacob, was on point. We were greeted upon entering and seated right away, on a Friday too (usually much busier). I highly recommend coming to check this place out!

Summary:
Great place to stop for a bite if your near. Seemed like an old neighborhood restaurant where you get a bunch of regulars, with some new comers.
Good to experience the southern cuisine in its fullest flavors.
More detailed review -
Location:
Located in the heart of Metairie, surrounded by residential homes and some business buildings. Great looking neighbor.
Restaurant:
Very straight forward building design, and easy entrance access. They have patio seating for the warmer months of the year. Clean place, well kept up. And my favorite was the atmosphere, it gives off an old traditional seafood restaurant.
Staff & service:
Friendly and attentive. I was greeted right as I walked in. They seemed very genuine with everyone they interacted with. Definitely not lacking any customer service values. They also held small conversations with the local customers. Truly makes you feel welcomed.
Food:
I enjoyed everything I ordered. Menu was straight forward and fairly priced. Didn’t wait too long in between my dishes.
It was also my first time having craw fish, and it was absolute delicious. They sell it by then lbs separate from the menu.
I recommend, and will come again.
Always Always delicious!! A wonderful neighborhood seafood place .... that the locals love! You must stop there during crawfish season...and everyday in between! We enjoyed the gumbo, the Red Beans and Rice and eggplant strips! We've never been disappointed in any dish that we've ordered from there. The guys who work there, have been there for years! A good sign of a good family restaurant! They are all so fun and friendly! The service is also fast and on point! This Denver visitor has been there several times with local friends...and it's always the best!
What a great place!! Food was amazing from start to finish! Robert our waiter, never missed a beat!! We will be back often!!! Highly recommend the crawfish!!
The most amazing seafood both boiled and fried! The portions are very large and the taste is always consistent. The Galley Burgers are delicious with some homemade onion rings. This place does NOT disappoint. They have something for everyone from chicken Parmesan to shrimp and grits.
Great atmosphere and staff. Prices were way above average, and the $50 seafood platter had as much slightly less food than other places that charge only $25. Food was tasty, but gonna have to think twice about going back.
Food was excellent! They served us the largest oysters and the best boiled seafood I've had dining. They offer a huge selection of apps, sauté crab claws are a must have!! My only complaint is the cold draft from the window covering that was blown loose.
