There are several locations but the one located near the French Quarter is at 1479 N. Clairborne Avenue. You can take bus 51/52/80 from Elk Place & Cleveland or walk.
Order your seafood and Chinese food at the hot bar then order your gumbo, boudin and drinks at the cashier. Your number will be called when your order is ready.
You can't beat the boiled crawfish for $4.99/lb.
The crawfish were the best I have had. Just the right amount of spiciness, not too salty and the meat was incredibly sweet. Yum!!!
They also had the best seafood gumbo--large for $8.99. There was a hint of smokiness. The gumbo was loaded with seafood, including half a blue crab.
We went back on our last day for another sampling. This time, we also ordered the turkey neck ($1.99--this was okay), pig foot ($1.79--delicious), boiled shrimp ($8.99/lb--the shell was hard to peel but the shrimp was good), boudin (pork $2.49, crawfish $2.99--the boudin were flavorful but the rice was a little mushy).
You know it's a good place when people come in with their suitcases on the way to the airport and drivers order loads to take back home.
