Cajun Persuasion Seafood Market & Poboys

Very small establishment, but man is it busy. Line out the door busy on a Sunday afternoon. They sell a variety of seafood here, but a lb of crawfish is about $12 per. I personally came just for a poboy as i was heading to the airport, and it took me about 30 minutes to order and get the food just because they're so busy. The poboy was made to order and I got grilled shrimp. It was good but the bread wasn't what I was used to.Highly recommend still great flavor on the blackened shrimp.

Food good. Cost is reasonable. Ambiance none. Service was in and out. Line moved fast

Well, this was a surprising delight! My daughter and I were in the area and I was craving a roast beef po boy. Yelp recommended this spot and we could clearly see why! It's not much as far as ambiance goes, but I am fine with that. This is a small family business that serves ridiculously good food! We ordered two po boys, Cajun eggs, shrimp, sausage, and potatoes to go. Their crab legs were huge! We loved the flavor of the seafood boil and inhaled our po boys. I also liked that you could sample their crawfish or shrimp before committing to ordering. It's easy to find and definitely on our list to go back!

One of my favorite local spots here in Metairie since we don't have many seafood spots that compare to the ones in the city. I'm addicted to the boiled eggs. I literally would eat them everyday if you let me. Crawfish is nice and spicy during the season. Sometimes I don't think they let them soak long enough when they're really busy. All of their boiled items are a must try.

Crawdads are what these low bottom feeders are called in NOLA. Miniscule crustaceans that live in the murky waters of Louisiana. During spring time, these mini lobsters population grow by ten folds so their size can get as large as a your palm. To believe that these guys spend most of their lives in swamps is quite fascinating. You don't get much meat out of them, but the indulging experience is what many of us are seeking for! I was referred to this place by one of my family member since she used to live in Louisiana. Plus they were the only restaurant selling fresh crawfish during the off peak season. (Went in September of 22'). We drove here and it was situated in a quaint plaza. The shop is between two establishment so it's easily miss if you're not familiar with the area. Thank heaven for gps! This was the second time we had came back here since they told us that they will be receiving fresh crawdads in the next few days. We wanted to try authentic crawfish since it was our first time in the states so we called in and placed an order to pick up. They have different options you can select and order by the pound from. You can order po boys sandwices, cajun boiled shrimp, blue crabs, andouilee sausages, turkey necks, corn and potatoes. The first time we were there, we got blue crabs, shrimp and oyster and alligator po boys. The blue crabs and shrimp were plump and sweet. Everything tasted fresh. The po boys were ok. Nothing special but tasty none the less. It was like eating a subway sandwich but with the Cajun flavored proteins. But the best thing from this place is their home made garlic butter, crack sauce. I've been to many cajun/creole restaurants in Southern California and sampled a variety of garlic sauce, but this one here takes it home. Their interpretation of cajun garlic sauce is phenomenal because you taste the true essence of creole cuisine; without all the heavy spices from most of the places I've been to. It's well balance because it's sweet, savory, buttery, and just enough of that addicting spice to make you keep on coming back for more! It's a perfect dipping sauce for seafood and more. Hand down the BEST GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE I've ever tasted. But don't take my word for it. Come try it the next time you're here! Great customer service and the seafood is as fresh as you can taste them. Go out and support your local business!

Great Po' boys & fried okra.We ordered a large fried catfish po' boy , a large fried shrimp po' boy, & an order of fried okra.The service was great, the food was delicious, & my total check was $36.FYI: they no longer have gumbo or oysters on the menu.

I've eaten here so many times, and I haven't been disappointed at all. Their Po boys are fresh and hot with great dressing. The seafood bags are spiced just right, but most people go for the crawfish, which is worth the trip!

The service is trash and the guy who works the register is rude. The turkey necks are chewy (borderline rubbery). The boiled eggs are good, but the snow crab is overpriced. In my opinion this is a last resort type of establishment.

We got to go. It was pretty fast. We had tried the crawfish in the French market another day. So expensive there. We got 5 lbs of crawfish, corns and 2 lbs of shrimps and fries. All under $70. With tips it was $90. Definitely try if you're in town. The staff is friendly and the place is nice.

This place is a must for all things boiled. My husband and I stop here every time we're in town. I highly recommend the boiled crawfish, crab, turkey neck , corn, potatoes and sausage. Everything is packed with flavor. You will not be disappointed by anything you get. I highly recommend!
