New Orleans Hamburger & Seafood Co

Not worth the trip at all. Ordered. She left. Someone else asked if we wanted to order. Food came. No plates. Asked for a plate. Brought one. It was dirty. (There were 4 of us). Asked her to take it back. She did. Brought back 3 plates. (Really?) dirty tables. Tossed menus at us. Trust me. There are several other places that will be with the extra time you take to find them. Oh and the wine. What kind of what white wine do you have. We have Chardonnay. Ok but what kind? It’s a white wine. I don’t know was the basic answer. Done!

Terrible is the only thing that I can say about this place. Do not go here, period. Food was frozen and you could definitely tell.

Wonderful food, strong drinks and great service. Had a large party and Renard took excellent care of us. Great personality and attention to detail. Nothing like as wrong in a group of 12

We dined here before going on a ghost tour. Started off with the crawfish queso and keeping with the theme for the evening the crawfish, just as the ghost, did not appear. Not only was the queso crawfishless, it was also cold. Ordered the «famous» thin fried catfish. Ratio of batter to catfish: 5 to 1. Herb/​garlic fries everyone else is raving about were full of grease and tasteless. Classic chain style restaurant with fast food (frozen/​fried) style food.

I hate writing negative reviews. If this one seems harsh it’s because I’ve raised this issue several times in less public forums and have not gotten any response. I interpret this to mean that this company doesn’t care at all about me or you as a customers, so they forfeit any courtesy.
The corporate policy of this franchise is one of false advertising and price gouging french quarter tourists and residence. They advertise specials on television, on facebook, etc. without any mention that these «specials» are only available at the ten other locations where local business is appreciated and worth competing for. If you are in the French Quarter you can just forget it.
Those of us who live and work in the quarter are regularly call upon to recommend restaurants. This is what we will be saying about NOH&S.
The food itself is nothing special, just more corporate greed on a plate. The catfish that is so popular is apparently because people don’t like catfish as it has no flavor other than the breading. The burgers are bland and the buns are dry. Any of the Willies Chicken Shack locations would be a better choice and a better value for this style of casual lunch or dinner food. I could list 20 places with better burgers within walking distance. Ask any store clerk in the quarter, they will be happy to make a better recommendation!

This was my worst experience in town. Uninformed and rude staff who never turned up to ask our order. We left after more than 10 minutes without being able to catch anyone’s attention. Truly unbelievable in this otherwise friendly and laid-​back town.

The food was so good! I ordered a little of everything. So for starters we had the boudin balls and half a dozen oysters which were so delicious I had to go back the next day. For entrees my husband had the thing cut catfish po boy and I have to cat fish and jumbo shrimp meal both came with the garlic fries and everything was very tasty. For dessert we shared a bread pudding and left nothing in the bowl. We try to stop by every time we’re in the city and after the meal we had this time it’s a tradition that will continue.

If I knew this restaurant would be run by a gang of cliquey high school girls with an attitude, I would have walked three blocks out of my way to avoid it. We stood and waited to be seated noticing a young girl with her back to us as we walked in. Soon another young waitress comes down the stairs and starts giggling to the gal seated in front of us. Turns out seated girl is the hostess. Instead of seating us in the cozy downstairs section she hauls our asses up the stairs to a large, noisy, crowded room that was freezing.
Our waitress Cyntrell needs a course in waitressing, manners, and attentiveness, not to mention a lesson on beer recommendations. To her a shiity, local Amber is a dark beer. When we requested silverware twice, she decided to get another patron a coke while our food got cold. Avoid this place like the plague, nothing was good about it including the filthy bathrooms. Blech!

Stopped in on the walk home from House of Blues. Great table available on the balcony to enjoy one of the first cool evenings this month. We had the thin fried catfish tower and the daily special buffalo shrimp poboy. Both were fantastic. The catfish is fried to perfection. Will definitely be back.

Great little place to stop for a bite. Although I’m not a «big bread» sandwich fan, the shrimpzilla po-​boy was a good choice. Good taste and adequate size. But, the fries were a huge hit for me.
I think the highlight of the visit was the friendly staff. This can make or break a restaurant.

Party of two. Ordered a messy roast beef poboy with lettuce and pickles. Garlic fries came with. Loved it. It was plenty enough to share. The waitress was great. She came right away to the table and was courteous and friendly. She was quick with our drinks. She was attentive, but not too much… just right. The food was great, the service was great. I’d eat there again.

Slooowwwwww service. Really slow. Server forgot silverware until well after food was served. Then she disappeared.
That said — the sampler we shared was pretty good. The thin slices catfish was really good, hot and tasty. The boudin balls were ok, they weren’t hot — seems like they may have been sitting around a bit before being served.
Place is kid friendly if your kid has lots of patience.
Been done eating for 15 minutes, still waiting for bill.

This is your standard tourist trap. The food is terrible. Only reason we are there was because we were tired and hungry.
I’m not going to go into details. There’s just too many things wrong. It’s kinda my fault. I knew it was a tourist trap but we still ate there.

We ate here twice, once because we didn’t really have time to find something traditional to New Orleans, and the second time we cam back because of how long the lines were at fine establishments and the lack of decent fare that was not really fried and spicy. A must have is the catfish or the «Shrimpzilla» po’ boy. I enjoyed the red cream soda and lemonade. If you want beer or hurricanes, this is also a decent enough place to find alcohol.

We had a party of five which included two kids. Our food was prepared quickly and best of all, it was delicious. The restaurant was small but we wanted a yummy taste of New Orleans food. That is just what we got.

Omg the best Po Boy I’ve had during my stay here! Unfortunately I didn’t have the opportunity to to go to Gene’s but the shrimpzilla here was off the chain! It’s fried shrimp with Swiss cheese, cabbage, roast beef gravy and tomatoes on French bread.

Food was awesome! Just because it’s in NOLA, not all restaurants make quality food that represents the area (I’ve tried countless food joints and not that impressed — all hype and the human mind persuading itself thinking it’s good because it’s in cajun country), but this place was on point.
Was headed to the French Quarter market place to try out my haggling skills on cheap souvenir items and walked past this place with a line out the door — decided to stop by for a quick bite to eat at the bar. Ordered the Triple Sampler (fried catfish, boudin balls and alligator poppers). OMG that sh** was so good. Added the signature «44» drink with it and whao… Let’s just say exploring town satisfied from a delicious meal and «sneak’er upper» drink like that made exploring the French Quarter that much more fun. Don’t get me started on how fun it was in the actual market place when I was in negotiation mode with the street vendors lol!
Oh, the two bartenders were fun too. Told us all about the area, the culture and why they call NOLA home. Although there’s so much to do, especially tourist things, taking the opporthnity to hear from the locals every so often really helps put things into perspective in terms of life in the area. I appreciate the place even more now.

We stopped in for a quick lunch while walking around the quarter on our last NOLA trip. I had the Poboy and my wife had the sizzling shrimp salad. Both were excellent. The poboy was not as full to bursting as most others in the area, but it was fresh tasting and delicious.
My wife raved about the sizzling shrimp salad but did not get full. She is a marathon runner and was prepping for a run that weekend so she did have her active appetite but I agree it was a little small.

While in New Orleans from 2÷18÷15−2÷20÷15, we sat down to eat at 4 places. This was our first stop, and our favorite. (Next time I’ll have to do a bit more research and try out GW Fins!)
We wanted a quick bite to eat as we’d been traveling since 4am. We were seated at a table in the corner which would have been perfect if it hadn’t been so chilly outside. Windows don’t have much to them so there was a draft coming thru. We decided we wanted to order quick and get back to walking in the sun. to keep warm… so we moved to the bar. The bartender took our order but seemed preoccupied with everything else going on in the restaurant. At 3:15pm on a Wednesday, they were pretty busy!
It seems the common complaint is slow service or rude service. I’m chalking this up to being in the south. When you’re from the NE, everything is slower south of the Mason-​Dixon. If you’re going to travel south, expect that! So yes, the bartender provided «slow» service and she didn’t stand right in front of us while we were seated to talk with us… which is fine because I enjoyed the company I was with!
We ordered 2 beers that came in huge, heavy chalices. Wow! Their local beer was tasty! The sampler plate with alligator bites, thin fried catfish and boudin was also delicious. Definitely a small portion but just what we were looking for. The alligator was done just right so we could taste its flavor and not so much the breading around it. The catfish was AMAZING! Flakes in your mouth… also just enough breading that you could really get the flavor from the fish. Boudin was good… interesting. I opted for a 2^nd alligator bite instead of a 2^nd boudin ball.
We would definitely return and try an actual meal at our next visit.
3 stars because the food was A-​ok! (We didn’t give it a fair shot by just ordering an appetizer and beers though.)

Was skeptical to try this place when I read the reviews on Unilocal but my sister was insistent on eating here after recommendations from friends. We ended up coming here several days into the trip, on a day where we were all sick of seafood and Cajun/​creole cooking. We started with the alligator sausage balls. I thought they were a bit heavy on the breaking but had good flavor once you got through that. I loved the pepper jelly they were served with. Small portion for the price unfortunately. I think the burgers here were the real prize. One person got the hickory bbq burger with bacon and the other got the grand parade with blue cheese red onion bacon and bbq sauce. I sampled each and they were tasty. Juicy beef, cooked how they were ordered. Loved the bbq sauce that was used. Of the two, I enjoyed the grand parade more because of the onion and blue cheese. What I REALLY liked about the burgers were the fantastic garlic fries that they were served with. These were huge steak fries with a buttery garlic sauce all over they were so crispy and flavorful! I actually got the strawberry fields salad which was crisp and fresh and really hit the spot of being sick or creole. I again loved the blue cheese and red onions used. The dressing was creamy yet tangy and there was plenty of grilled chicken on top. My sister ordered the seafood pasta with grilled shrimp instead of fried. She wasn’t thrilled with the shrimp but liked the flavor of the sauce and the steamed crawfish. She seemed to be the least happy with her selection of us all.
The service was a bit spotty. Started with a male waiter who took our drink and meal orders and seemed attentive with refilling drinks and bringing our food. Once the main courses came we never saw him again. He never checked on us. And we had to track down a different waitress to clear our plates and get us our check. A bit weird.
Overall this wouldn’t be a must stop for me but if you’re looking for a break from traditional New Orleans fare its a good option.
