Seafood Sally's

Amazing lunch experience. Food and drinks were perfect. Service was friendly and accommodating, and they were especially helpful seating a baby at our table. The menu is a nice variety of interesting and eclectic twists on seafood staples. Also, one of the best peanut butter pies I’ve ever had. Definitely disappointing to see them close; hopefully the issues get sorted out and they can reopen with the same momentum.

My brother and I were in town for a little food vacation and we're disappointed in most of the restaurants. We stumbled on Seafood Sally's and it was amazing. This is by far the best food in New Orleans right now. They oysters were the freshest I've ever had. The pork trotters were fantastic, boiled and fried shrimp were perfect. The cocktails were spot on. Service was wonderful! This will be my first stop next trip and will probably be here everyday of the trip.

Overall I enjoyed Seafood Sally's but as my vacation went on I had other meals that I enjoyed much more. I stopped by pretty late on a Thursday evening and things were pretty slow. I was seated at a 2-top table across from two banquettes with two couples each seated facing me. I understand closed sections, especially late in the evening but I should have asked to move / sat at the bar. I proceeded to then perform crab-eating for their date night which was super awkward. Overall the space though is very bright and colorful and I can only imagine how nice it is in warmer months (both inside with open air and their patio/outdoor area.) The service was friendly and very quick. I had the charbroiled oysters which were good, very sizable. The gumbo was tasty as well, although slightly lukewarm when delivered. Then I dipped into the BBQ crabs... They were simmered in a BBQ butter and that oily "sauce" was served underneath the crabs. It was too oily to find edible and the garlic bread was also soaked in butter already. Overall though I thought the flavor was really good on the crab itself...a nice heat. But yes, quite a mess as you can imagine and quite the show for the tables staring my way! I'll definitely come back to Seafood Sally's if I'm in the neighborhood.

Seafood Sally's is an interesting joint focusing on seafood but also offers items like burgers for those who aren't in the mood for seafood. The building that Seafood Sally's is located in has been several restaurants over the years. Before Hurricane Katrina this location was a Creole Buffet spot I used to visit for weekly meetings I attended here then it has also been a Mexican restaurant and a BBQ restaurant. Unfortunately this Friday December 1st, 2023 will be the last day that Seafood Sally's will be open as they have announced they are closing the restaurant. I'm always sad to see places close like this although I have to say my one and only visit to this restaurant wasn't the best experience as the service was definitely lacking and I found my dessert very tiny and very overpriced for what it was. When I say the service was bad I couldn't even get a refill on my iced tea... Looking at the menu I found the prices for most of the food here to be quite overpriced for the area and the seafood selection just didn't appeal to me for the cost so I just got a cheeseburger and fries and then a chocolate tart for dessert. The burger and fries were good and decently priced while my chocolate tart was a very small serving that didn't measure up to the price attached to it. Overall the fact I only visited one time and never felt compelled to return doesn't really make me feel that bad that they are closing as I like this location and I hope something better moves in here.
