Deanie’s On Hayne

I’ve eaten here a few times. I usually order to go. The food is delicious! I can’t complain.

Great place. Po boys are great, close to airport and makes it easy for us corporate pilots to grab a quick lunch.

I have never been so uncomfortable in a restaurant in my life. The food was sub par. I ordered the shrimp platter with a soft shell crab on the side. Not only did I feel like I was overcharged for soft shell crab, the food tasted awful. I was so heated because I spent close to $ 21 for food that tasted like lemon and bread. Not my recommendation at all

Wonderful lunches. Visit there at least once a week. The wait staff if fast and friendly, and the food is always fresh.

The customer service here is great. It is a very intimate little spot with carryout and bar food through one door and restaurant through the other. The menu is very limited but smart because it allows for decent quality control. The only issue I had with the food is that with the fries you could very clearly taste that they were not fried in a separate grease from all the other fried foods. Please be advised that they are limiting their hours at this location as of July11th so you may want to call to be sure they are open before you head out.

Local flavor in every way. Our waitress made sure we got the local favorites which were delicious. I had the eggplant and shrimp remoulade special and hubby had the small oyster poboy. The eggplant was perfectly cooked and the shrimp were plump and yummy. Tho quite spicy, the remoulade was perfect. The poboy didn’t come up to snuff tho. Served with mayo, it didn’t have the zest it would have had with remoulade had it been offered. Nevertheless, we will go back. 100% NOLA!

Food is great! Had boiled crawfish, seafood platter, gumbo, and oyster artichoke soup. So much food! If you have kids, you don’t need to order extra meals for them. Plenty to share.

some old school new orleans up in here. great solid food, tasty, and filled with a simple atmosphere. located on drum and hayne, right in the fish school of streets. how appropo! came in on a rainy friday, and had the dining area to ourselves, but you could tell as we were leaving? they about to be in the weeds. nice bar, everyone friendly, and great new orleans standards. white beans n shrimp? red beans n rice? bbq shrimp! homemade ranch dressing… yum.
most excellent. places like this? simple and good? are disappearing post K. this is an original. I hope I never say Ain’t dere no mo. cause baby? this is it.

Had lunch at Deanies on Hayne today and it was fantastic. Our server I believe her name is Jani was the greatest. We even offered to take her home to Vegas with us. Highly recommend this place. Wish we lived closer.

Had the «Show Boat» it was was pretty good! The inside needs to be renovated but food and service was pretty good. Little pricey given the atmosphere and décor.

Because of my love for the Deanies in Metairie, I decided to try this location as well… .& Both places are very different.
PROS:
–LOVE the traditional setting and ambience of the place. Definitely a place to get down and grub dirty with finger licking food! (Deanies in Metairie seem a tad pretentious. Hate that!)
–Service; very helpful & friendly
–Prices
–Specials
CONS:
–Seafood platter, not real fried oysters, more like oyster stuffing. NO soft shell crab. yet again.a crabby crab stuffing.
Yep! No more cons.
All in all not a bad close to home seafood grub pub in New Orleans East. Waitress was so southerly friendly.
–Yes, credit cards are accepted.
–Not wheelchair accessible, but the bump isn’t so bad to roll over with a little help.
–Open Monday’s-Thursday’s&Saturday’s @11−4pm, Friday@11−9pm. CLOSED Sunday’s.

This is the best Deanie’s — apparently not related to the others. Go here for an unpretentious, cheap, authentic New Orleans meal. The shrimp poor boy is absolutely perfect, and the daily handwritten menu always has local specialties. Super-​cheap, and easy to get in and out. This place has been around longer than most restaurants in New Oreans, too!

I regularly eat at Deanie’s since I work in the area. I’ve rarely ordered off of the normal menu since they offer daily specials. You can view the specials on their Facebook page.
I find the food to be of consistent quality and very good. The service is very friendly and prompt. Most specials are served with a side salad and bread. Specials can range from seared duck (one of my faves) to seafood pasta. Usually the daily menu features around 6 – 8 specials.

Food is really good and the bread pudding is unreal!

Can you say best Gumbo??? I can! This is one of those places you will never get to experience if you are not with a local! The crab Au gratin is cheesy and delightful not to mention the crawfish that is seasoned to perfection!

I love everything about this place. Its off the beaten path a little but worth it. Definitely go hungry or make room in your hotel fridge. While you are deciding what to order they put a bowl of potatoes on your table to munch on. Yeah… that should let you know what you are in for. I went with the fried shrimp platter and it was amazing. Great services, huge portions and worth a visit!

We went today, and I had the seafood platter ($ 19.95). It was pretty good, and they gave a lot with it– catfish, shrimp, oysters, stuffed crab, stuffed oyster, fries, dinner salad. But, the batter was rather bland, and we thought they could spice it up a bit. Still in all, it’s a well-​maintained, clean, family joint (open since 1969). The bar looks like a good place for locals to hang out. I saw others eating grilled seafood and pasta dishes– those looked delicious. I probably need to revisit this establishment at some future point. It’s worth checking out, I’d say.

The food and the service is great! I enjoyed the craw fish and sweet bread… mmm!

Do not get the place confused with Deanie’s Seafood in the French Quarter. This deanie’s has been around longer and it is better. This place is not anywhere near the tourist areas. It’s in East New Olreans, where few tourists go. It’s a local joint, with local food. Had lunch here and the lunch menu was inexpensive.
I had the garlic bread which is DELICIOUS. Fresh made on french baguette. I had red beans and rice with smoked sausage ($ 5.95) and it was a huge bowl of red beans with a decent sized scoop of rice. It wasn’t any different tasting than others i’ve had, meaning that it is good. Not outstanding. The smoked sausage is very good. Also tried the bacon wrapped fried gulf shrimp. Really, really good. Came with yellow rice that tasted just ok and some peas. This was $ 6.99 or so, if memory serves me correctly. It is very casual inside and the service is very very good. Friendly staff. Would def recommend if you want to stay away from the touristy areas…

This place is not closed!
Frequently confused with the other Deanie’s restaurants because the taste of the food is comparable. Although not affiliated with Deanie’s in the Quarter the food is better than ever: Stuffed Crab, Eggplant and other seafood is the best in the city.
