Jaeger’s Seafood & Beer Garden

The food is always good there. I can’t say this is the first place the comes to when i want to go out and eat but the Crawfish specials are usually the reason i come.

Surprisingly impressed! I had the raw oysters which were HUGE! My hunny had the thin catfish and Alyssa had the blackened shrimp salad. We all split fried pickles. All very good. We will definitely be back!

Excellent food & beer selection. I was here on business & had this recommended to me. I left impressed!

I enjoyed this place. I had the thin catfish dinner, and it was quite a lot of food for $ 13. The fish and jambalaya were delicious. The fries were not good. I didn’t eat those. The beer was.
Plenty of TVs and sports and clearly the locals liked it. I’ll definitely go back.

Chargrilled oysters are top notch as well as hush puppies. Portions are enormous so be open to splitting even the appetizers. Good service. An all around great choice for great seafood/​Cajun food.

After coming here several times I finally decided to go ahead and give a review. This place has a pretty nice size to it so as long as your party isn’t overly large, you should be ok to host a group here. There are a couple reasons as to why this place hasn’t earned a 5 star rating from me. First, the service can be iffy. Sometimes it’s very efficient and friendly, other times not so much. Also, the regular dinner prices can be a little pricey. On the up side, if you go during lunch hours you really can’t beat it. The portions are amazing and the price is great. It seems like after lunch hours are over the price goes up but the portions remain the same (for the most part). The seafood here is consistently good. I’ve tried other things here as well (jambalaya, stuffed crab, white beans, etc) and all are pretty great. Just a tip, if you order the sautéed crab legs, you will only get two chunks of French bread. Trust me, you’ll want and need more! Be careful though bc they charge about $ 4 just for another chunk or two. That to me is not worth it considering I can get a whole loaf for the same price, if not cheaper. Overall, the food is yummy but go at the perfect time to make it more affordable!

The trick here is to order one dinner and an appetizer or two for two people. They have large servings. They do a great job with the catfish! It seems to be a local staple, but that does not mean they have given up their craft back in the kitchen. In New Orleans, they are average. In average america, they are on top of their game. I like this place.

Corn and crawfish chowder is really good here not the best but very tasty.
I always get the lobster when we go here it has been good more times than not. The perfect cooked lobster should come easily out of the shell if it sticks it is overcooked and could be slightly chewy or very chewy depending on how overcooked it is. It is served with potatoes and corn on the cob the potatoes are usually spot on but sometimes corn is also overcooked. Having said that if you love lobster but not the price tag that can come with it then this is your spot.

Went Saturday night for my birthday, was craving lobster. We had the charbroiled oysters, salad, lobster, my son had the seafood platter, plenty of food. Everything was delicious, service was great!

Kinda dark and dingy inside. Had water from vents leaking on our table but they let us move tables. Went there for crawfish before leaving town, at $ 2 a pound, got what i was looking for

Mediocre at best, and do yourself a favor & don’t fall for that lobster special mid week. They just give you a boiled lobster (I even had to ask for a cracker thing) without giving you any help deshelling it (they can’t just chop the tail in half first? Seriously? They have big knives and cutting boards in the kitchen!). No bib or big safety sheet to wear (it’s juicy, very juicy) and not even wet wipes for after. You have to ask for extra napkins and hope you can open the bathroom door to wash your hands. That’s just poor, lousy customer consideration. Unless you’re some master lobster de-​sheller, order something that won’t leave your clothes stained and fingers burning.
Everything else is the same. Slowest staff ever and don’t expect any needs to be anticipated or addressed before you ask. Part of the problem is they sit a lot of people in the way-​back with multiple staff, none of whom make frequent rounds. You may find yourself having to call the restaurant from the back for anything before you see them again, so be sure to make note of the telephone number.
The thing that blows my mind is this place has consistently received the same complaints and nothing ever changes. Service is so slow, you’ll sober up from your one beer before you can get another, so save yourself the trouble and just get a big iced tea. You could also order a big ol’ coke and bring your own fifth of Captain Morgan and stick to self-​serve. Then your waitress can relax somewhere in the back.

Is this place closed? I want on ⁷⁄₂ when I got into NOLA for a long weekend and wanted the «$ 9.99 1.25lb Lobster Special» to find the parking lot empty and the lights out. No note or the door or anything. Tried calling to see if they were open tonight and if Friday was a temporary thing… Voicemail box was full…
… Evidently, it is not a temporary thing.

Well. Where do I begin?
As I’ve mentioned in prior reviews, my family and I have enjoyed Jaegers since moving to their Elmwood location. I like the casual atmosphere and local food faves we NOLA people can’t live without. I’ve given thumbs-​up reviews to them in spite of glitches, etc. but we’re all human so I’m willing to understand. That is, until now.
Fast forward to Fathers Day 2015. We had 5 people total in our table seating. I’ve never had a meal as disastrous as this one. This is no joke! We went late afternoon on Father’s Day after the crowds thinned out so it wasn’t overly busy.
Our waitress at first appeared pleasantly enough and took our drink order. That was ok. We also asked to start with some boiled crawfish as an appetizer. «Sure, no problem.» She brought the drinks eventually and took our dinner order which was very simple — everyone got the same thing. She went to take my son’s order — who is almost 21 and has a full beard!!! — and says «ma’am what would you like??» Once she realized her mistake, she stroked his hair and said «oh I thought you were a woman!» WHAT? Um, WHAT??? I promise you he is not. We were not happy but willing to overlook that as to not ruin Fathers Day Dinner.
Back to the appetizer. We presumed the crawfish were coming but didn’t. When she did come back, she brought 5 salads (we ordered only 3) and no crawfish. «Oh!» She said. «Don’t worry about it, I’ll take care of that, be right back». She didn’t. We ate our salad and waited then she appeared with something else we didn’t order — chargrilled oysters. She started to leave those with us as if to say «yes you did order these». No. She just strangely slipped away saying nothing. All we wanted was our dinner at that point, nearly one hour into being seated. Something was way way off about this server. We have never had that.
It is as if she was on heavy medication. Very very heavy. She moved in slow motion. And she would show up to other tables with our order that she (or someone) let sit for a long time. Seafood platters are always piping hot; this was room temp. We could have sent it back but then what?
So we finally got our dinner an hour later. No appetizer but we let that go. 2 salads too many but she said don’t worry. Plus when we DID receive our meal, she chirped «see, told you… perfect!» Huh???
Right behind us was a booth where the same server dropped an entire lobster dinner on the table and then hit the floor. The people were aghast. Yes accidents happen. But too many things in the course of one hour? The spilled dinner sat there a while too. My dad asked for an iced tea 3 times. She finally brought it. TO THE TABLE NEXT TO US. She just left it with them instead of bringing it to the table it belonged to (US). Still no drink.
She asked if she could get us anything else. My dad asked for tartar sauce for his seafood platter. She showed up much later and brought him salad dressing. Um, whatever.
And then… Out of nowhere, the server shows up. Not with a drink. Not with tartar sauce. Not with crawfish. But it was… a BOWL OF GUMBO. A bowl that we did not order. Just like the salads. Something was very wrong here. We had finally eaten and were full thank goodness and there was no room for gumbo. The weird thing was that she just sat it down with no words. We said «what is this?» She said «gumbo». We said we hasn’t ordered any. She said «I know». It wasn’t handled like a peace offering for a ruined meal. We kindly asked her to take it back, no one wanted it and no one ordered it. This was the strangest behavior I’ve ever seen from anyone. Whatever the cause, this was a short circuit like no other. Tripped fuse big time. And as everything came to a close and we were packing our to go boxes, getting ready to pay… she brings… AN RC COLA. Am I on Mars or what?
The big finish: the check. She hands us the bill and remember those salads? Remember the «don’t worry I’ve got this»? Well she ended up charging us for 5 salads — 2 we did not order. It’s not about the money, it’s about the principle of the matter. The kicker comes when I handed my card to her to pay and when she came back she started to give SOMEONE ELSE my card. She also thought for a minute that my credit card paid for someone else’s bill. I mean the hits just kept coming!
We got the bill sorted out. We didn’t make an issue of the salads because to be honest I was not feeling like I would get anywhere with her or management. So we finished paying and she stood quietly over my shoulder (I didn’t know until later) to see what kind of tip (!!!) I was leaving her! I mean seriously? SERIOUSLY Jaegers! You must do a better job of who gets hired and how they are trained because I counted no less than 5 separate tables that were affected by her deep incompetence which ultimately leads to losing $$$, repeat business, and future new business.
Jaegers, we really like you all but we can never have this happen again

I have found this place to have delicious oysters… but crawfish was meh. Crawfish was super soft and no flavors to it. The char grilled oysters had a good char on it. Fried seafood platter was decent. I think you really can’t screw up fried fish but it is still possible. Luckily we had decent fried seafood platter.
I would only come back to eat more oysters but probably nothing else.

Attention black people! Do not go to Jaegers on Clearview! Tried to have a nice lunch with one of my close gal pals, was seated by the hostess, waitress politely looked us up and down and proceeded to not take our drink or food order. After another group walked in and sat down, the waitress immediately greeted them and started taking their order. We politely got up and walked out. I despise discrimination.
That’s all folks.

I’m not sure why I waited so long to try this place. Great, locally owned seafood restaurant that has all the classics. We had delicious crawfish for $ 1.99/lb (thurs special) and chargrilled oysters that rival dragos. Their tap beer selection is vast and cold.
I know it used to be on Lakeshore, but Jaegers just seems out of place in Harrahan; it would do well anywhere amongst the local Nola seafood places.

Went in last Friday night. Waited over 30 minutes for a table. They seated us.
We ordered our beers and some char grilled oysters to start. Our oysters came with uneven char. Leaving one looking like a hockey puck.
I ordered 2 pounds of Crawfish with fixings and my boyfriend ordered the catfish platter. His plate came with fries that had been dropped into the fryer still frozen. Cold, soggy in the center. We sent them back. His jambalaya was also inedible. My Crawfish came with regular boil just shaken on top of the crawfish. It made some so salty, others to spicy and others totally bland. The crawfish were also soggy, hard to peal, and just not very good. I didn’t eat my potatoes or my corn because it was just coated in regular uncooked boil. My boyfriends salad hame out after our meal and ONLY because we asked for it.
We had another beer. Watched the Celtics Pelicans game, and left.
The beer was the best part of that meal. Everything was frozen except the oysters. You could taste the difference as well as the texture issue. I WON’T EVER GO AGAIN. Especially for 80 something dollars after tip.

This place is ok, but they don’t know how to course out a meal. Everything comes at one time. There isn’t room for everything on the table so you have to begrudgingly let the waiter take dishes that you aren’t finished with yet. The stuffed shrimp was just overdone shrimp with a scoop of dressing on top in an escargot pan. Very disappointing. If your going to veer away from a traditional way of preparing a local dish, make sure your way of preparing the dish is an improvement. Also, the last 3 times I have been here they were out of dungeness crab. At a certain point I would consider taking it off the menu. It’s just setting people up for disappointment.

I absolutely love jaegers, it’s definitely a little down home in temas of ambiance but the seafood does not disappoint! I love the jambalaya so you can just pad on them fries and the drinks ate big and strong and only 7 bucks! Sometimes the waitstaff is a little rough around the she’s but the food will make you forget that. Get any of the fried seafood and you will be in a state of pure bliss!

Charbroiled oysters were the best I have ever had.
Catfish filet plate was four large filets cut from big 14 oz sides. It was tasty, clean, flaky, and FABULOUS!!!
Service was on point and the PORTER was friendlier and more knowledgeable than most servers.
