Jacks Seafood

The service and food were excellent I grew up eating from this place so I've been going here at least 20 years and the food is still phenomenal every time I come home.

Jack's Seafood is a take out only establishment now. The order is placed through a microphone and you pay through a sliding drawer. The food is cooked to order and packaged in styrofoam boxes and delivered through a large drawer. It hasn't always been like this, but since the pandemic this is the way they choose to conduct business. Regardless the food is always tasty and at the right price. I ordered large shrimp fried rice and large shrimp lo main. There are always specials posted. I often visit Jack's Seafood when I am in the area.

The food quality is good and consistent. I've never been there in person cause I always get it delivered but every time the food never disappoints. With a great price point, quantity, and variety of food I'm sure you can find at least one thing you like there.

Friendly staff once I got their attention, inside isn't very inviting or clean so I got my order to go. Staff was distracted chatting with each other and I had to get their attention to take my order. The food portions are generous but the grease is old and tastes pretty gross. If the fryer Oil was fresh, I'm sure it would be much different. They only put ketchup and a teeny lemon wedge in my to go order. No cocktail sauce or tartar sauce. Disappointing. Not sure if I'd go back to this place.

This place has the most bang for your buck. You get so much food and I love the shrimp fried rice. I like hole in the wall places like these. I recommend getting the best Chinese/seafood place!

Don't order in Uber eats...they won't make sure your order is correct. I even called and they offered nothing or a chance to make it right.

Stopped through Baton Rouge to visit my boyfriend's mom before we headed off to New Orleans. My boyfriend d has been hyping this place up, and unfortunately I was NOT impressed! I ordered the 2 piece catfish with French fries. The ladies who took our order were very sweet, but the inside isn't my type that I'd want to sit down and eat. We decided to eat in the car. I was happy about how hard they fried the catfish. A lot of places you have to ask, but I actually forgot to ask this time. My disappointment was with the fish. I'm used to catfish being meaty and the pieces I got were straight skimpy. The fried hard had me so excited but once biting into the fish...all I really was eating was cornmeal. That's it ya'll. And to top it off my fries weren't even seasoned. How am I in Louisiana and y'all aren't seasoning fries? How, sis?My boyfriend says he never orders fish from them, I see why now. So I closed my box and at off his plate. He ordered the popcorn shrimp and shrimp fried rice. Overall, don't order catfish from here unless you just like thin catfish. And it's possible I could have gotten a poor batch but I highly doubt it.

Want seafood for an affordable price? Try Jacks Seafood, the hole in the wall seafood spot with a touch of Chinese food. Definitely a hidden gem for urban dwellers. I used to live about 3 to 5 minutes away from Jacks and it was my favorite take out spot. My favorites include the shrimp fried rice, fried catfish..and my ultimate favorite? The fried oysters! They are so good and seem to be cooked just right so that they are crunchy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. My favorite thing about Jacks is that it has so much character. When you walk inside there are little booths and a ticket line framed with glass. You order and wait for your food. Be prepared to wait because it is a local favorite. I wouldn't suggest dining in...the parking is limited and it's more of a take out place...but that's what hole in the walls are for.. yummy secrets that you can take home.

Hole in the wall, best value for either the crawfish or shrimp poboy, you can't go wrong

The shrimp poboy is on point!! Plenty of shrimp on the fresh French bread, just enough condiments on it. When you bite in to it, it's delicious. It has just the seasoning on the shrimp. The price is really reasonable.Whenever I come to town, I make sure and get my poboy!!!
