Pier 424 Seafood Market

We ate there on Christmas. It was very busy, but serve was fast. We ordered the gumbo and the seafood combo platter. Everything was delicious!!! The portions were so big we still had leftovers even after splitting the dish between two of us. Our waitress was Kathy and she was very friendly and always checking on us.

I’m not a seafood guy so take this with a grain of salt. I recently had charbroiled oysters on this trip to New Orleans. I think these are slightly better than the first ones I ever had at another local place. We also got a shrimp boil and it was good I like the potatoes. We also got some of their gumbo and jambalaya and they are on par with other similar restaurants. If you are in the area it’s worth stopping in.

I really enjoyed the food here! I ordered the stuffed shrimp and the crab cakes and they were delicious! The sauce that they smother the crab cakes in has to be from Heaven😇 The restaurant is conveniently located on Bourbon St so being about to observe the people and listen to the music while eating was a plus. I took a lot of my meal to go and it was even better the next day!! My brother ordered the meal that came with 4 items (gumbo, jambalaya, etouffee, and red beans and rice) and it was delicious as well!

Our party of 8 stopped in here on a Saturday night and were able to get a table upstairs relatively quickly. Our server, Trent, did a great job managing our group. He was polite, friendly, and very accommodating. When we ordered oysters for our appetizer, he brought out the charbroiled instead of raw (my mistake), but he quickly offered to bring us out what we wanted. All our food came out quick and was very good. The Fried Alligator was very tender, and the Bayou Frog Legs (tasting like chicken wings, in case your apprehensive to try them) were flavorful and delicious. Even though I did not mean to order the charbroiled oysters, I did try one and really enjoyed their flavor. Absolutely a happy accident and something I'd be willing to order in the future!
