Don’s Seafood - Metairie

Visited Don's Seafood for a post game meal with my boys. They really wanted Seafood and this seemed like the perfect place. The restaurant was pretty busy when we arrived but we were able to be seated quickly. The service was very fast and the waiter was very attentive. He started us off with delicious buttered bread. We ordered shrimp, fried catfish, and red beans and rice. Everything was prepared well. We enjoyed the meal and would definitely come back for another visit.

We visited Don's on 2/27/22. There were 2 hostess. The friendly one walked away to assist someone.The couple before us was told that there was a 30 minute wait by the other hostess. They decided that was too long and left. We walked up and the same hostess told us 15 minutes. We gave our contact information and sat on the patio. Moments later the same hostess came outside and said that they were not seating on the patio. I was puzzled because we were just waiting to be called. The other people seated just ignored her. It was about another 10 minutes, and we were notified by text that our table was ready. The same hostess showed us to our table. Our table was not clean, and there was a lot of trash in front of the table. I should have taken a photo, but I went to the restroom. We asked her if we could get the table and floor cleared. She said she would get it. My boyfriend asked her if it was a problem because she had an attitude. She said "No, we just have a party going on right now".

Mr. Austin was an excellent waiter and provided the best service. We tried the Jacked Up Oysters, Catfish Acadian made special (1 with blackened catfish and 1 with fried catfish on the side), and a brownie a la mode. The food is delicious and we made the clean plate club with our entrees. We’ve had better brownie a la modes so we wouldn’t order that again but everything else was yummy! We will be back to try other dishes.
