Kenner Seafood

This place is an absolute hidden gem. When you walk in and immediately see all of the fresh catch, and shrimp and crawfish ready to go, you know you've hit the jackpot. They are located just a 4 min drive from the airport, and they are actually on the same road as the terminals. We were in hurry to get to the airport, and they got us served quickly. We had the seafood platter, crawfish Monica, oysters rockefeller, and boiled crawfish. All were served with big portions, and were cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Kenner seafood, and I'll definitely be returning on my next trip back to Nola!

Came here for the first time following all the good things I've heard about it.It must've failed short that night. Was not seasoned. Redfish was thick and dry. Waitress was friendly but food did not satisfy the palette. This is a good place for those that cannot have salt in their diet or for out-of-towners that can't handle the real new orleans flavor.

I was returning to the airport for my flight home but decided to get something to eat before leaving New Orleans.Up pops Kenner Seafood and this is a local seafood market and restaurant. When you walk in there are refrigerator display cases with tons of Crab. Yup, I'm in the right place. The actual restaurant is in the back and a very nice lady directed me to any table.Here's where things took a turn. The young lady waiting on me was not rude but unengaging. I ordered the Monday special which was two stuffed crabs and two sides. She took my order but either she was having a bad day or just lacked a personality. No explanation about the menu or specials. I did notice another waitress who was very engaging with her tables. Very friendly. I wish I had her, but I digress.Moving on. Food... sides were fine but the stuffed crabs were 95% stuffing and that's generous. I searched desperately for any kind of seafood in the stuffing but all I could come up with was stuffing.Well, time to leave. Still no table side manners which in my opinion is very unusual for New Orleans.Sorry but with all the restaurant choices in the area, next time I'll have to try a different one.r

As we were leaving the airport, this spot caught our attention because they had **crab fingers**--and as a serious crab lover, I had to check it out! We called ahead to place an order, and the woman who answered was so welcoming. You could just hear the warmth in her voice--classic southern hospitality. The order only took about 5 minutes, which was super convenient. Now, the crab fingers themselves were good, but I wasn't totally in love with the crust or batter. It was much harder than I expected, and that kind of threw me off a bit. While the flavor was there, the texture just wasn't quite my style. Still, I appreciated the quick service and the friendliness, and I'd definitely be open to trying other menu items next time!

Came in for lunch on a Tuesday. No wait - waitress told us the daily specials and away we ordered.They were offering a dozen oysters for $12 ($1 per) so me and my friend got 2 dozen each! Great oysters, great price. Ordered some poboys as well.

This is one of those times I'm completely perplexed with the 3.8 mediocre Yelp rating because the bustling dining room with locals at 4:30 in the afternoon, friendly service, 2023 Gambit Award, Best of New Orleans say otherwise. Oh the nay sayers! But, thanks to my Yelp buddy, Omar, and his recommendation this is our first NOLA stop!The interior screams NOLA's rich jazz history with yearly, framed and signed Jazz Festival posters adorning the walls. The well worn restaurant and the menu speaks to a the love of Cajun cuisine found here. Kenners is a restaurant and seafood market. The array of displayed blue crab - picked, whole and shucked oysters speak to the love of seafood and the local fishing industry. As typical of hubs when he's excited about trying a unique spot, he orders a little of this and a little of that. We had a sampling of all our favorites! Our thoughts:*The tamales, Delta style, were a must for this tamale lover, were the typical cigar size and great! *The seafood Gumbo was on target with its rich dark roux color, yummy shrimp and served Cajun style with half a blue crab and white rice. *The fried shrimp were delicious, perfectly cooked with a nice crispy texture and butterflied. Oh my, just perfection! Loved the jalapeño hush puppies, too - savory not sweet. *The cup of red beans and rice was warm comfort in a cup, seasoned with sausage. *The fried crab claws were slightly over cooked and were the only disappointment. Thank you Omar for the recommendation! We'll return perhaps sooner than later Cheers!

My Mom and I had such a great time here. We hugged, laughed and danced with locals and staff we felt like we were with family. The food was delicious and amazing. It was of course a true Kenner experience! It was loud but we enjoyed ourselves. We had to get "to go" boxes. Grilled redfish is my favorite and they did it RIGHT! Moms got the seafood platter consisting of fish, shrimp, oysters, and crab cakes. All plates come with jalapeño hush puppies "I think" and bread and 1 or 2 sides but portions are still quite ample. Parking is around the side so don't get discouraged when you can't park in the front.

The customer service at this location was awful. I stood in this lady face for over 10mins before she acknowledged me and told me she'd be with me shortly. Then this is a busy restaurant no way in hell they should be charging the customers 3% for using their credit card. Then I had to ask because it's not listed no where in the restaurant and on the receipt it just says 3% charge. Count me out. I won't recommend this place at all. Unless you like being treated rudely. And the only reason I didn't walk out and ask for a refund was because I was already behind going to work. Otherwise I was have left. But do yourself a favor and when you see this restaurant don't even stop. Keep going

EVERYTHING is great! I honestly bet I've been here 25-30+ and it's always great. Overflowing stuffed poboys, great boudin balls, great gumbo, chargrilled oysters, roast poboy is full of roast and topped with a delicious gravy, and the muffeletta is full of meats with a warmed, crunchy French bread. Our waitress is attentive & very friends and the atmosphere is one of fun, neighborhood, sporty feel.

Not sure if the ownership has changed but the food is horrible and the service ain't much better. I believe that today was my last visit to this place. Thanks for the diarrhea though!
