Louisiana Charlie's - San Diego

I was a little skeptical about trying this place out because I'm EXTRA picky about my Cajun food. But yall this spot is no joke. The jambalaya and shrimp poboy were amazing and portions were beyond expectations. The food came out at a fairly reasonable time and everything was PIPING hot. Service was friendly as well. I will say the patio seating out front can be a little toasty since that's where the smoker is. But there's tons of seating elsewhere.

So glad comfort soul food is at Seaport Village.I order the catfish basket. You get three filets and a side for $22. It was way more than I thought.Their garlic sauce was so good with the fish. Brought me back to the days when I lived in the DC area. It was perfect.Staff was friendly. They're a cashless business. Worth your $! Will be back

Worth the visit if you're in the area. Roughly 20 minute walk from the courthouse. Very welcoming staff. Seating is outdoor patio area, so scenery is based upon weather. Shrimp PoBoy had 7 of the largest fried shrimp I had ever seen. If the price of sides looks intimidating, the cajun fries came in the same sized container as the poboy. Fries were well seasoned, no ketchup needed. Gonna need to visit again for some other menu items.Side note: this is located near the water. I followed the map on Yelp, so the pin drop on page was accurate.

Was visiting and asked the family to go here since I saw it on IG. We ordered A LOT of food, we had gumbo, jambalaya, beef brisket sandwich, red beans and rice, lemon pepper wings, shrimp boil, fried catfish, Mac n cheese, greens and cornbread. We did enjoy most of the food. I prefer baked Mac n cheese but my niece loved it. The brisket was PHENOMENAL! Juicy and tender. The gumbo and jambalaya was tasty and filling. The red beans and rice was delicious! Loved the catfish, greens and cornbread.We decided after all this food to get dessert. Welp, we should have just stayed full! No bueno on the banana pudding (no bananas in it) and the pecan pie was too sweet. Now the beignets were a HIT! Super fresh and we enjoyed them! I would ONLY offer the beignets as a dessert option :)It's a great spot and it's nice it's outside and the have seating on both sides.Looking forward to returning!

Good experience for quick grub.Came here one night for quick grub as we were staying at a hotel nearby and this was the only eatable place in seaport village. The staff was super nice and helpful and gave us recommendations. We ordered a gumbo and another dish with fries. Food was delicious, love the flavor and there was a lot of shrimps and sausages, the ingredients were on point. Good portion size, we had left overs. Easy no frills place. Tasty food.

I have been to Louisiana Charlie's multiple times and every time I am in Seaport Village I think about stopping there. The service is always great and the food is always tasty. This time around we actually sat and ate but usually I get it to go. I didn't take long for a table that was big enough for our party to open up. Yet, keep in mind, there is limited seating in front of the restaurant. You can sit at tables nearby if you would like. It can get busy so consider taking it to go if it isn't an inconvenience.We all order some of the same things so I only included some of the pictures I took. I had the ribs with greens and cornbread. I did end up salting my greens a little bit more but besides that, they were . Cornbread was on point and the ribs were so good. My family got the shrimp and the poboy. They said both were really good. I ordered the beignets and they were also really good. They also have a selection of drinks to choose from.Like I said above, Louisiana Charlie's is always included in my options when I go to Seaport Village. My cousin has ordered them to be delivered before so I think I might give that a try one day.

Had a really nice view sitting on the back patio. Food was delicious. My wife loved the jambalaya. I had the sea food boil with shrimp/medium. The shrimp are huge and the sausage is good. It wasn't as spicy as I expected and would've preferred spicier, but still good. My daughter got the chicken wings and liked them. We also got the Mac and cheese, which was some of the better we had in San Diego. Service was minimal interaction, but okay nonetheless.

Sitting outside in their patio dining area you can almost imagine being in New Orleans. Their menu includes gumbos, poboys, daiquiris, and ice cream sandwiches. The staff was friendly and the food was very flavorful. I got the fried catfish poboy and it was delicious. The catfish had a nice cornmeal coating, and the sandwich was a little spicy with pickles and lettuce and tomatoes. Everyone enjoyed their food and relaxing Cajun vibe.

I talked to the owner while he was finishing bbq some meats. I had to ask as I had my dog with me. He is very friendly and welcoming! Such a great attitude and energy, so we know we have to try his food.So you pay for your food and they bring the food to you. It was a bit crowded on a Monday night, but there is seating on the front and back of the restaurant. The place is really chill with a beautiful view. We tried the gumbo fries, and that was delicious!! The shrimp is big with a healthy size of kielbasa. We also tried the greens, which I love. Omg!! It's delicious. The sandwich is also great with a healthy portion of meat. My doggo approved. Last, we tried the banana pudding, and that is delicious. FYI, it'd $9 for the pudding, and it's a good sharing dessert.All in all, we are happy with the food and service. Would definitely be back again. Great view, food, and friendly service!

The crawfish boil is delicious. I've been here once before and tonight the gentleman at the register greeted me with "oh my friend welcome back" real nice guy! Service is great! I finish off with a mangonada for dessert but if your not for alcoholic drinks they do have real dessert options. Overall Charlie's is amazing and I would recommend to anyone!
