Jake's Seafood & Restaurant

"A small quiet family owned restaurant that was recommended to us by our captain on the swamp tour and touted as a "very good place to eat authentic New Orleans" I would have to sadly disagree. The establishment gave a 1950's type vibe both in aesthetic and the demographic of the patrons. As soon as we walked in all eyes were on us. It was pretty hot inside as the establishment does not have central AC. The rice in the gumbo was very undercooked, the jambalaya looked like it came out of an uncle Ben's rice bag. The fried fish was cooked well, but lacked some seasoning. My shrimp and pasta with two crab stuff balls, was ok at best. The "crab" stuffed balls were deep fried stuffing with a crab flavoring. The best tasting thing we had was my kids fried shrimp and French fries. I would have honestly given the place 2 stars but our waitress was such a kind sweet soul and really elevated our experience."

"The service was great. The ladies were very nice. Unfortunately the food tasted like frozen food service items. The potato salad seemed scooped straight from a container. The fried catfish and chicken were both super oily and not fresh tasting. The sausage and chicken gumbo tasted like it was from a can. The best part were the noodles that came with the chicken parm."

"Great food, great quantity and quality of dishes. Great service, and Shout out to Chastity! She makes our visits nice and is very attentive. And a good family place, not too hot or cold and not loud or too crowded. It's comfortable and delicious, will come again! Edit: we already started eating, there was more on our plates before these photos! "
