J's Seafood Dock

This gem of a place is located in the French Market. It's a great place to grab some fresh oysters that are shucked right in front of you. I somehow always ending up coming here whenever I'm in New Orleans. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

The food is delicious! Just the right touch of New Orleans and Cajun style! Service was fast. Food was fresh. Atmosphere is enjoyable.

SO and I stopped at the French Market for a quick lunch. We decided to try this place out. The fish sandwich, shrimp and oysters were all good. A nice place for a quick bite while touring the area.

Located in the Shops at the Colonnade, they have food displayed on the counter so you can kind of see what you get. It all looks fried and like it's nothing special, but once we tasted some of it, we actually went up to order more. It's weird that the prices are not obvious/listed but it was pretty reasonably priced! The soft shell crab was $18 (after trying it, my husband got a second order of this--we also got a second order of the alligator bites). We sat at a counter across from the store front and our food order came up without much of a wait. The staff were all very friendly and fun too. We watched the bartender shuck some fresh oysters for someone sitting beside us. The alligator bites were exactly what I wanted and hoped for. This was the third location we ordered alligator at and it was easily the best! Nice big hunks of alligator meat--not just an overly breaded crumb--it was so delicious! Great location for people watching and located right beside Holy Crepe!

Busy Saturday visit at the French Market after a guided tour and we were hungry! We saw that J's had displays of their food and it was so helpful. Our party of 5 decided on shrimp tacos, seafood quesadilla and alligator bites. Everything was delicious. Tables are hard to claim but we were able to enjoy our meal without any problems.

J's is located in a busy market place type area. Order from the stand, some dishes (such as oysters and boiled crawfish) are picked up from the bar directly across from the stand. Present your ticket so they know you're waiting for an order. The staff are very polite. Free for all tables or can sit at the bar.The BBQ shrimp is incredible, super buttery with a spicy kick. You'll soak the bread in the sauce and savor each bite.First time eating boiled crawfish and it was very good. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in NOLA.

Got their oyster creole, crawfish tails, and shrimp tacos. All the seafood was really fresh! Everything had delicious Cajun spices! The sauce they used made everything taste similar which I didn't love but overall a good meal.

A must try for anyone looking for fresh crawfish and oysters. Great staff and atmosphere.

It's located in French Quarters in the outdoor patio area where they have a counter and another oyster bar area where the oysters are freshly shucked. I didn't like the boiled crawfish with no flavoring on them. I need them drenched in cajun sauce or have my crack sauce to dip. The oysters were okay.

Service was fast, the workers there were nice, and the food was hot. One of the few food places in the French Quarter that is a reasonable price and tastes just as good as the food on display looks.
