Deanie's Seafood Restaurant & Seafood Market

Second time visiting and I was still pleased! Sat at the bar this time and had excellent service. The red potatoes as an appetizer had the perfect amount of spice to them. I tried the crab balls which were delicious and fried well. For entrees we had the fried shrimp and Fries and the fried soft crab with dirty rice. Everything tastes wonderful!

Great food and service! The red potatoes they give you are so good as an appetizer. Oysters are fresh but the stuffed mushrooms were to die for easily one of the best things to order here. The gumbo was also really good and can't go wrong with order a cup of bowl. We got the fried player combo with catfish, oyster, and shrimp and they were fired perfectly with good flavor. The carrot souffle was amazing, and can easily be eaten as a dessert. I will be looking forward to coming back here for sure.

The red potatoes were delicious ; nothing needed to be added. My favorites were the carrot souffle, fried catfish, and the Crab and Corn Bisque. Our server "Felicia" was hands down the best! Wonderful asset to this establishment. We felt like we were eating at family. I do plan to eat here upon my return to Louisiana.

Visiting town, my friend who's a native recommended this local chain, saying it's his favorite spot that would get him fat if he still lived there. So I had to try it. I was told that I had to get the charbroiled oysters, stuffed mushrooms, stuffed shrimp, and gumbo. I believe orders come with the boiled potatoes for the table as opposed to bread. The charbroiled oysters and the stuffed mushrooms were top tier. The stuffed shrimp was great, potatoes were a solid table adder, and the gumbo was just alright.

Deanie's is always my first stop when visiting NO. The food never disappoints. Large portions and very tasty food. Highly recommended Can't go wrong with the seafood platter. That is 1/2 platter and it is enough for 2 people

I truly enjoyed the food and the family atmosphere at this place! Friendly and welcoming to us! The food was absolutely wonderful! My wife had the crab and okra gumbo as an appetizer and I went with the Crab Balls. Both of us were more than happy with our choice. I added the charbroiled oysters with crab and she went with the BBQ Shrimp tacos. Again, great choice! If you get a chance when you’re in the Bucktown area, stop in!!!

we have been to Deanies many times but this was our first visit after a long time. overall good food but smaller portions and long wait times. we started off with the onion rings and then got the seafood platter and a bowl of gumbo. the onion rings were good with a good batter; the seafood platter came with shrimp catfish and oysters as well as fries - it was good flavor of the breading and the seafood just a bit small; and the gumbo was a good portion and good flavor. overall good food but the wait time was very long! 45mins to sit and the. another 45mina to get the food!

Food and Service (Hope) was excellent. I gave only 3 stars because of their outdated business of charging 20% for splitting checks. I've been traveling for work for years and never encountered such a thing. 👎 I was traveling with my wife and now have to execute additional wasted time on my expenses to submit just my bill for reimbursement. Not cool.

Had some family visiting from Germany and brought them to Deanie's for lunch. Ms. Felicia took care of us and she was fabulous! She had some great menu suggestions that were spot on and made us feel special. The food was all excellent and everyone there was super friendly and attentive. I can't recommend Deanie's in Bucktown enough. Thanks Y'all!

We were a traveling baseball team that dined in the Bucktown restaurant today. Besides the fabulous dishes that came out together and hot, I can not write this review without mentioning our above the top service we received from our serve staff, Mrs Felicia. She knew the menu thoroughly, made suggestions to our undecided friends, and made us all feel like family. I was impressed that she also told me about specials that were coming up at Thanksgiving. She is a great front person for your establishment. After our visit, I feel bad for all the restaurants that don't have Mrs. Felici. Thanks again for the great food, great atmosphere and great staff. We will be back.

Felicia was the best server we could have asked for. She was so personable, kind and overall perfect at her job. She gave great recommendations and suggested the market to purchase the pre packed food which we will be trying. We will always ask for her when we come to Deanie's in bucktown.

10/27/2024 When in LA you have to get crawfish, oysters and more! My boyfriend's god mother wanted to take us to Deanie's Seafood and I am always down to try a new spot. As long as I get my oysters lol That was my mission while I was here. Eat as many oysters as I can. For the table we ordered the following: Boiled potatoes with butter on the side. Two trays of charbroiled oysters- BBQ charbroiled oysters and the charbroiled oyster with crab on top. 6 boiled crabs- Side note this is when I learned how to break them apart. Pretty cool! I ordered the catfish platter. This platter could be for three people! There was so much I took it home and ate it on the plane. My boyfriend ordered the Barbeque shrimp. The portion of food on his plate was huge. He tore it up! My boyfriends god mother ordered the combo platter. This came with shrimp, oysters and catfish. I should have ordered this. The oysters were delicious. Everything we ordered was amazing! I would have ordered another tray of oyster but my boyfriends god mother was paying so I didn't want to be greedy haha just means I need to make another trip out there.

This was a local recommendation to try and honestly, I was willing to be adventurous. I'm glad I did, because the food was really good and you get HUGE portion sizes. They fill those styrofoam containers to the brim! This place is no frills so expect a few health code violations somewhere lol. Speaking of violations, the bathroom was unclean and scary looking, but that doesn't take away from the food. Next time I'll get takeout.

Been coming here my whole life. My grandpa introduced me to this place. He's been coming here longer than I have. The food is amazing! Darren is great !! Felicia is wonderful !!!

Deanies is CONSISTENT fa'show!!!!! My boy and I shared a HALF seafood platter, something that 6 years I ago, I smashed by myself, and TODAY we, WE, had many leftovers!

I have coming to Deanie's well since it's been Deanie's. Consistently great food, huge portions and free boiled potatoes... with butter. Ambiance is very nice, a bar and great service... I enjoyed my meal here.... Happy Veterans Day to all!

What separates a good meal from a truly memorable experience is the quality of service, and Felicia exceeded all expectations. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care transformed our lunch into an unforgettable afternoon. Deanie's should be proud to have such a remarkable team member. Upon arriving at Deanie's with my father, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting ambiance. It was 2:00 in the afternoon, and my father hadn't eaten all day due to a busy morning. His hunger was palpable, and I worried that his patience might wear thin. However, Felicia's attentive and compassionate demeanor put us both at ease. Felicia was not just a server; she was a true professional who exuded excellence in every interaction.. Her patience was unwavering as we perused the menu, and she made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. When our orders arrived, Felicia ensured that my father's seafood platter was served promptly and he had sufficient condiments. She checked in on us discreetly, making sure that he had everything he needed. Her genuine concern for his well-being touched my heart. But it didn't end there. During the course of our meal, I shared with Felicia that my father had driven over two hours to meet up with me. As we finished our meals and packaged the remainder, Felicia surprised us by offering to pack my father's remaining beverage in a to-go cup for his return ride. It was a small gesture, but it spoke volumes about her commitment to exceptional service. As we left the restaurant, I knew that we would be back. Deanie's has earned a loyal customer in me, and I eagerly look forward to returning to Felicia's section. Bisque 5/5 A great alternative to gumbo. Onion rings 5/5 Plentiful, crispy and served piping hot. Perfect for sharing, Ice cream pina colada 5/5 Delicious and packs a punch.

Great place for fresh seafood in New Orleans. Get the grilled redfish. For sides, the carrot soufflé is so delicious. Add onion rings and a house salad with fig vinaigrette. So lucky to get a table for two without a reservation on a Friday night. Thanks to Karen for the great service.

Deanie's is my go-to for a fried shrimp poboy. I have been quite a few times this summer and their fried shrimp are excellent. On top of the excellent shrimp poboy, I love the potatoes that are given at the beginning of your meal. I will continue to frequent Deanie's in Bucktown!

We wanted to go somewhere away from the French quarter and this restaurant was perfect. KC was our server and he was a sweetheart. We were given red potatoes with butter as a complementary appetizer. Blue crab was available for purchase in 3 different sizes (Medium,Large,Jumbo). Blue crab pictured are large size since they were out of Jumbo. Crab was made fresh and came out hot. Soft shell crab was ordered a la cart but would have loved go try it on the sandwich option they have available. Restaurant was very cozy and welcoming

My auntie love Deanie's and wanted to get out of New Orleans during our visit. So to Bucktown we go. It was full but not to crowded for a Friday night. Prices are reasonable we decided to share a fried 2 platter combo substituting the French fries for red beans and rice. First of all. The potato's are perfectly cooked. Seasons soft. I love them. My aunt had a cup of seafood gumbo. It was very oceany lol if that's a word. Very seafood forward. To much for my liking but she ate the whole cup. The shrimp and catfish was GREAT . Lightly battered seasoned to perfection. Had just the right amount of seasoning and heat. Hands down the best read beans and rice I have had at a long long time. EVEN THE TARTAR AND COCKTAIL SAUCE IS AMAZING ! 10 out of 10 And my aunt decided to order a shrimp poboy to go. I'm sure it will be great. Courtney was great! Attentive and knowledgeable.

We came in town for the weekend from Houston and dropped in for some seafood! EVERYTHING was deliciously amazing!! Felicia was our server and she was so kind and attentive to us! We didn't have to ask nor remind her for anything! Gotta love her!! We will definitely come back!!!

When I lived in the New Orleans area, this was one of my favorite go-to places. Sophia and I had takeout boxes on every stop. Believe me, when you enjoy seafood, you know you'll leave full halfway through your plate. Would this visit be another one of those incidents? We were seated after walking inside. Just like before, the inside was beautiful. I should've taken a photo of the bar area, but oh well...LOL!! We immediately got to ordering within minutes. They served complimentary red potatoes with butter. Very good and even tasted of some pepper. For both of us, we selected soft shell crab with french fries. Deeeee-licious!! Properly seasoned and lightly fried. And you probably guess right, we ended up with takeout boxes. The food still tasted the same like earlier. A much needed stop during our Christmas visit. You can never go wrong with homemade seafood. Hopefully we'll be back next year. Till next time :)

Deanie's Seafood has consistently gotten better over the years. Their menu has improved substantially along with the flavors of their food. This isn't my favorite spot to get boiled seafood as often they seem to overcook their boiled shrimp which is an unfortunate trend many seafood joints seem to have in common these days. Deanie's has always done a great job with their fried seafood options and their fried seafood platters have always been fantastic things. Their broiled and fried fish options are typically nice choices here. Their specials and sides have also really improved over the years so that you have a really nice selection of different items not many other places offer these days. There are also not many places in this area that do as much volume as Deanie's does so they usually get their food out really fast! Everything here is decent to fantastic for the most part and there are certainly more and more places that do far worse food while there are fewer and fewer places that make authentic New Orleans Creole food like they do at Deanie's. Overall this is a place you can bring a big group and they will likely have something that most folks can eat. The biggest area for improvement is their boiled shrimp as so far it has been 100% frustratingly overcooked EVERY time I have ordered it so now I've given up on even trying to order the boiled shrimp again until I hear it is being prepared better. My video review of Deanie's in Bucktown is here: https://youtu.be/Bt4oLYqmmZQ

we have been to Deanies many times but this was our first visit after a long time. overall good food but smaller portions and long wait times. we started off with the onion rings and then got the seafood platter and a bowl of gumbo. the onion rings were good with a good batter; the seafood platter came with shrimp catfish and oysters as well as fries - it was good flavor of the breading and the seafood just a bit small; and the gumbo was a good portion and good flavor. overall good food but the wait time was very long! 45mins to sit and the. another 45mina to get the food!

OMG....Deanie's is not the restaurant of the 80's and 90's. The food tasted like cayenne pepper and old grease. Seafood should be light in color when fried, this was dark and tasteless. The charbroiled oysters was overcooked with too much cheese, the fish was SWAI and not CATFISH which they were aware. The best thing on the menu were the potatoes they served before the meal arrived. This place is for tourists, or for loyal ppl who live in the area. Will not be visiting EVER AGAIN!!! Sorry no photos to show the food.

I recently dined at Deanie's Seafood in Bucktown, and while the food was good, what truly made the experience outstanding was our server, Felicia. From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Felicia took the time to ask questions about our likes and dislikes, ensuring that her recommendations were perfectly tailored to our tastes. Every dish we ordered was spot on, thanks to her guidance. Felicia's exceptional service went above and beyond, making our visit memorable. She made sure we were taken care of at every step, checking in to see if we were happy with everything. Her genuine care and attention to detail made us feel valued as customers. Honestly, while the food was good, Felicia is the real reason we'd come back to Deanie's. This restaurant is lucky to have such a dedicated and talented team member. We look forward to our next visit, as long as Felicia is working!

Visiting New Orleans from Dallas, TX and decided to stop by here for some good seafood ! Walking in - the person at the front desk was super nice and sat us pretty quick! But the star of this establishment is Miss Felicia ! Her service and personality is 100% what most restaurants are missing nowadays ! We barely had to ask for refills, she gave great recommendations as far as what to order (not pictured: the ice cream pina colada was 10/10) the conversation was great! I'm already planning my next trip to NOLA and i'm making sure I come back and get seated with her again !

Felicia was our server and she was awesome! So much so that I'll be returning with more guest very soon.

Started with a spicy Bloody Mary and it is good and spicy. Artichoke hearts with ranch and marinara was really good. Grand seafood platter to feed 3 of us and boy it's a lot of food. It could definitely feed a few more. We had 2 full to go boxes. Seafood was crispy and delicious!

Felicia was AMAZING! The food was great and plenty!!! Will definitely be back! I had BBQ oysters with crabmeat! The half platter and Omg it was ALOT of food!

Mid July 2023 and unfortunately was informed that crawfish was out of season. Went with charbroiled oysters, crawfish bisque, shrimp, and onion rings instead. Oysters: 5/5 must try. Coupled with the bread it was heaven. Crawfish bisque: 4/5, it was really great, again finishing the soup with the bread was heavenly. Shrimp: 3/5. Not salty unlike other places, done well but maybe it sat somewhere too long because it was on the cool side when it arrived. Corn was disappointing as portions of it was still ice cold, so maybe it wasn't steamed long enough. Onion rings: just didn't like it. Too much breading and gave it up after a couple of pieces. Overall would recommend this place for the oyster and bisque alone.

This was one of the first places I tried in New Orleans. Very casual restaurant but good quality seafood. I'm sorry I don't remember everything we ordered. The portion sizes were ample for family style dinner. Prices were good. We didn't have to wait too long for the food to come out. Not sure why the overall rating is low, you don't need a fancy place to eat local cuisine. The fried seafood platter was nice and crispy. Good seasoning. The bbq shrimp sauce pairs wonderfully with the bread. I would definitely come back.

Best food..Superb service! Never fails. Felicia is the best! One of my favorite spots on the South Shore!

The charbroiled oysters and fried catfish OMG! Super recommend!!! The red potatoes were a free appetizer and very delicious. I want to go to this place every time we are in Metairie. We sat at the bar and bartender was good, kind of dry but good. A bit old school looking but it was all good!

We are visiting and got to New Orleans today. Deanie's was first up on the list. We walked in and were greeted with smiles and a nice welcome. Then Felicia walked over and made the experience even better. We had the Giant Seafood Platter and some red beans and rice. It was everything and Deanie's owe me nothing. Big Shout out to Felicia and a huge Thank you for making the experience even better. If you want great food, a nice NOLA vibe / ambiance and great service check out Deanie's!!!

Waitress was great! We ordered the red beans and rice and she said "you don't want that". She was kind and the food was acceptable. Cesar salad was served with old lettuce, stuffed shrimp were not good and served in too much butter. Fried platter had catfish as the standout (very good) but the rest was below average. Fries were weak. Won't come back.

As always Deanie's did not disappoint! Felicia provided great service and conversation. You have to try the crawfish balls! They are delicious! If you want a great meal in a laid back environment Deanie's is a must!

This is a nice family home me restaurant the crowd was 40 to 60 year old. The food had very large portion sizes. The prices were reasonable. I have the seafood half platter, which was more than enough food to feed three people with leftovers. The fried oysters were great

Best fried seafood. Huge portions. Mom and pop family vibe with great service. It's the kind of place you go to with a big appetite. Everything was so good!

Today, Felicia was the best and most fantastic waitress to me and my family visiting from out of town. The FOOD needless to say is delicious and always more than you can eat at one sitting. Thanks Felicia for your efficient and attentive service! Keep up the good work.

Deanie's is a Bucktown tradition. Their sautéed crab claws, seafood gumbo, Crawfish Étouffée, and fried oysters are always good. Sunday's lunch on the Sunday before Mardi Gras is a good retreat from the crowds of the French Quarters! Bucktown has always been the place in the New Orleans area to get good seafood! Try their Giant Seafood Platter, which is also known as a Fried Seafood Tower which can easily feed two or more people! Our waitress, Asiaja took real good care of us!

Decided to visit on a whim while I was in the area since they have such a great reputation, and ended up waiting about 30 minutes to get a table. Not too bad of a wait considering there were a good number of people waiting to sit down. The restaurant is a bit dated, but appropriate for the cuisine/atmosphere they are trying to convey. They service was pretty average. My biggest complaint was that the food was just okay. We started with the stuffed mushrooms which were average. My wife had the shrimp po-boy which was well stuffed, but nothing special in terms of flavor. I had the stuffed crabs which is supposed to be one of their signature dishes, but again, I didn't find anything unique about this place. Maybe my expectations were high since this is a pretty popular restaurant, but I would go down the street to a neighboring restaurant for (what I consider) better seafood. Ambiance: 3 stars Services: 3 stars Food: 3 stars

Food and service was excellent. Their was no wait time and food came out fast and hot. Our server Glen was very friendly and courteous .

Miss Felicia was so wonderful. She was the very best part of our visit! We will definitely be back

The food and service was absolutely PHENOMENAL! Everything about this place is amazing. Ask for the server that sounds like Tiffany Haddish :)

The food was Great! Our waitress Felicia was outstanding. Exceptional service..she went above and beyond...friendly and full of smiles.

Felicia was my server. She provided excellent service. She is definitely a people person. She kept the drinks flowing and kept us entertained.

The food was delicious & the server was fast & kind! It was busy during Fat Tuesday but they got us in and served quickly. Clean ambiance!

Every so often, you encounter a level of customer service that leaves you completely awe-struck, and that's exactly what happened during our visit to Deanie's Seafood, all thanks to an extraordinary young man named Trey. Our evening began on a rough note when my son awoke from his car nap in tears, seemingly inconsolable. We braced ourselves for a swift exit. However, Trey, the superstar of our story, leaped into action with a warmth that would make the sun envious. With a coloring book and colors in hand, he attempted to cheer up my little one. And when that didn't work, he did something truly remarkable. Noticing our struggle and without a moment's hesitation, Trey stepped out of his role and joined us outside. His next question wasn't about our order but rather about what my son's favorite candy was. Before we knew it, he was off and returned with a pack of M&M's, a simple gesture that turned tears into smiles and allowed us to enjoy a wonderful family dinner. The level of empathy and kindness Trey displayed was nothing short of extraordinary. It's rare to find someone who treats your family with such care as if it were their own. We even had the pleasure of commending his exceptional service to the manager, Jeff, who himself was the epitome of professionalism and hospitality. So, here's to Trey - Deanie's Seafood's customer service maestro, and to Jeff, who leads a team that clearly knows the true essence of hospitality. Our experience was more than just a meal; it was a heartwarming tale of kindness we'll recount for years to come. Thank you, Trey, for turning our night around and for the delicious memories!

Great food... A casual old school environment with absolutely delicious food. A New Orleans classic. Great gumbo, ettoufee, fried seafood ... literally everything on the menu is fresh and scrumptious. The staff are very nice and quick. The huge seafood platter can feed 6 people. They say 4 but our 4 left half the plate full!!! You have gotta see this!!!

Food was great, BUT service was EXCELLENT!! Mrs. Felicia is AMAZING!!! I'd come back JUST for her service!! She IS THE TRUE MEANING OF CUSTOMER SERVICE!! She is a real asset to the company!! I will most definitely come back!! Thank you so much Mrs. Felicia for a wonderful 1st time experience!! N Washington

Went home to visit my parents. This place was in our weekend rotation as a kid. After a long day of shopping with my mom, sister and my best friend and her mom. We used to also go here with all my cousins aunts , uncle's and grandma. The whole family...lol wait time was an hour for our huge party,but we didn't mind bc we would sit outside and enjoy family time. Well enough about that. It's just like I remember. Nothing has changed. I mean nothing. The food still taste great! However they could use a little updating lol. Those boots had dips in them. The carpet needs to be replaced and new seating for sure but I will continue to go here as long as it is clean and the food is still on point. True great memories. This place will always hold a special place in my heart. FYI if you are visiting and want to try this place the large seafood platter is big enough to feed an Army.

Been there at least a 10 times and always had decent food. We bragged about it to our children who had never been. (Which we thought odd) anyways after a UNO Basketball game we headed to Deanie's. Our food was actually quite good but our sos and daughters fried fish and shrimp has absolutely no seasoning. When the manager came over he had an attitude and even told us that "this is the way they cook it!" I believe the cook forgot to season the batter or the order. It was bland and no taste. He was quite stern in his approach and never said I am sorry you didn't like it or offer to fry another order. So pretty much,we are done with Bucktown

My husband and I absolutely love Deanies. We typically go to the French Quarters, but found out there was more than 1 location so we decided to try this one. We were not disappointed. We were greeted with pleasantries and seated quickly. Everyone was so kind, but Ms. Felisha was our server and was beyond kind. She gave us the run down of the menu and provided recommendations. She was fast, pleasant and attentive. Our last day in New Orleans was today, and we couldn't of ended in a better location with great food, service, and conversation. This is the #1 location and we felt like family. We can't wait to come back and enjoy another awesome meal and Ms. Felisha and her team!

Came to Deannie's for the first time in a long time. Brought my sister in law all while bragging about the food and how good it was. Well, I didn't get what I expected! To start, they let a "supposed" service dog literally sit at the dining table. When I explained that I was a disabled vet and had a service dog for the past decade and they aren't supposed to sit at the dining table but should be on the floor the woman with the dog told me to kiss her a$$ and called me the "N" word! The manager didn't say anything! She didn't intervene at all. Thankfully, the woman left on her own because the people in the restaurant where very upset over the incident, That should have told me this wouldn't be a good experience. Then on to dinner, I ordered fried oysters and they were filled with with shells (see attached pictures). Additionally, I ordered the stuffed shrimp and it was basically a bowl full of oil and butter. I complained about the oysters half way through and told the manager Tiffany that I was only paying for half of the oysters because they weren't edible. She in turn told me that having shells in oysters is normal, "usual" and should be expected. If you look at the pictures these weren't little pieces of shells! Tiffany basically told me that she doesn't answer to anyone and if I didn't pay for the whole amount she didn't want to have to call the police! Then the sweet waitress Courtney came over and told me if I didn't pay the entire amount they would take it out of her tip. So I decided to pay the bill despite the terrible experience. My advice to everyone is DO NOT COME TO Deannies! When a restaurant gets to the point that they could care less about service, customer service or doing what's right it's time to stop patronizing it! The waitress basically begged me not to write this review but as I told her, everything I am saying is true so I'm going to post this review.

Felicia... best server I have ever had.. she brought our drinks out without us even asking. she was awesome and on point. I cant wait to go back and I will definitely ask for her agai.
