You’d be hard pressed to find a better buffet anywhere. All the favorite Louisiana favorites you could think of all in one wonderful spot. I love how you sit cafeteria style. This is a great spot to take a large group. I took my variety boys basketball team here after their last game of the season. You will have a long wait because the food here is frigging awesome. Dessert is also on point, cheesecakes ice cream, peach cobbler and many more. You need to be on the ball to get some crawfish, as soon as the refill the masses pounce. I will definitely be back on the reg. Come hungry my friends

You’ve got to take most of these comments with a grain of salt. This place is no snotty Metairie or Mandeville hob-nob type place. Because this place is way out in the country, you should expect it to BECOUNTRY, i.e.: an older building, wood interior, gravel parking lot, wooden tables. The food is fantastic, it’s a seafood dream!!! the wait staff if super friendly younger crowd either highschool girls or career older waitresses. Polite in that country style way. It is places like this tucked away out in the middle of nowhere still making that good home cooked style food. If you don’t recognize what is on the buffet, chances are it’s pretty damn good! If you don’t like this place, truly you should probably head back to your Applebee’s or Outback Steakhouse because this is how Louisiana seafood should be.

My family and I have been going to the House of Seafood off and on for years. Even as the prices have gone up we’ve continued to go and enjoy the food. Today, we went there and we were eating when my brother found a spider in his dessert. Obviously, that’s not cool. We told the waitress who then told her manager. He sent her back to our table and said to her«since it was found at the end of the meal he wasn’t going to do anything about it.» We were very surprised. 1. Because he sent this young girl to say the bad news(which could potentially affect her tip) 2. He didn’t even give us the time of day to approach the table. One of my family members calmly confronted him calmly as he continued to say«because it was at the end of the meal it must have crawled in after he wasn’t going to comp anything.» Then my family member told him that«there aren’t supposed to be any bugs at anytime of the meal.» Then he said«what should I do?» And we said«something.» He ended up discounting $ 8. He should have just comped the whole meal. Giving my brother a free meal would have prevented this post. This post is actually for his benefit. A $ 30 loss could have prevented the bad press buddy.

Many years ago I got food poisoning from eating here. Thought I was going to die and had to be hospitalized for several days. Never again!

This place has every piece of seafood you can imagine… crab legs, crawfish, shrimp 5 different ways, raw oysters, catfish, crabs,… Everything. chicken any way you want it. Frog legs, alligator. And all the sides and fixings you would want to come with it. Its a hefty 25 $ a person but if you go to just eat seafood, you get more than your moneys worth! I basically go for the oysters, shrimp, and frog legs! Delicious! This place us always packed. The only thing, is they really really really need to work on the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Its pretty bad. I know the place is old but it could be better as far as being clean. Overall, great place. Just pee before you go!

Went to this place over the weekend, and it was like a camp ground cafeteria. It said«buffet $ 17.95, but out bill came to $ 53 and my wife drank water. The décor was interesting. Crab nets here and there with a brass framed poster sized photo of a baby — I guess the owner must be proud. The raw oysters were dime sized, the desserts were ok, but anything worth eating was loaded with cayenne pepper or loads of salt. At the end of the night(after all the Harley riders left). The cook/manager/owner came out and barked at the obviously exhausted waitresses. Well, did you clean that. And«well» did you clean that. He looked like he was wearing one of those dew rags, and was going to have triplets any day. As for the bathrooms– well they forgot to turn on the a/c that day, going into the bathrooms was a tilt open window«la femme Nikita» couldn’t get out of, and it was as hotter than a campground. I feel sorry for the women. Men only take 30 seconds. Everybody’s husband or wife was staring at somebody else’s husband or wife. Overall, aside from the king crab legs, it was creepy… Whoever said this place was better than all the gulf coast casino’s because he had visited them all lived around the corner. Mississippi oysters are not the best, but eating a triple battered oyster only to need a magnifying glass to see the oyster is funky. The next day I went to work and telling my helper about the«house of seafood». He replied«you know of the many people that have gone there, I have NEVER heard anything good…»

I haven’t been there in over a year, and use to go ALL the time. The boiled items were all over boiled and stuck to the shells. I went primarily for the boiled seafood, and could not enjoy it. And once we went about an hour before closing time and the bar was practically empty. We were told whatever we wanted to let our waitress know and she’ll get it from the back. We did that and it took about 10 minutes to get an item after we requested them. I feel that a bar should be as fresh and available an hour before closing as it is an hour after opening. They don’t give a discount for eating late… Still pay regular price, so the food should be as it «regularly» is. I miss the way it once was… So sad.

We finally made the trek across the lake and out into the rural area for the House of Seafood. After hearing stores of how magnificent the place was supposed to be, we were a bit disappointed. The place is kind of rundown and old. The seating consists of wood picnic benches. I guess they don’t want you to get too comfortable and stay too long. The food is served from one very long table area. Much of the food really didn’t look all that appealing. Some of it was labeled, but most of it was not. So, many items were a mystery. I mostly stuck to what I actually recognized. The boiled crawfish and shrimp were good. I also liked these fried things called Gator Balls. They tasted mostly like crab to me. Oddly no one else at my table cared for them. The pecan pie was downright nasty. I could not even eat it and wondered what it was made from. Overall, I don’t think we will be making the long trip back too soon.

It’s a bit of a long drive from NOLA, but that is probably a good thing. Otherwise I might be tempted to come back more often. The boiled seafood was very well cooked and a huge variety of all seafood. Even though I tried to eat only a little of each thing, I was completely stuffed before I could try it all. My highlights were the boiled crawfish, gumbo, crab legs(they even had a crock pot of melted butter for dipping) and stuffed shrimp. Only things that I was not impressed with was the crabmeat au gratin(too salty) and the boudin. Aside from that, there were TONS of great options, and all of us(in our party of 6) left stuffed. I also like that there was a lady discretely walking around with a microphone telling the crew in the back about the things they were running low on, so the buffet stayed stocked up. Overall 5 stars! Now excuse me while I find a place to nap, so I can pull out of this food coma.

Very similar to the Chinese buffets you find everywhere. But this was strictly a back-road Louisana seafood buffet located in the sticks. Good experience though. =) Big parking lot(we actually parked right next to the entrance. they knew we were coming!). It was pack and they sat us in Reagan’s section. All I gotta say was she was one CUTE waitress that provided awesome service even in a buffet atmosphere. If you go, as to be seated in her section. She was that cool! Too bad she lives all the way out in BUSH, LA. The food was ok. Lots of fried seafood(Southern fav)…lots of crawfish(they were small though), lots of blue crab, shrimp shrimp shrimp, snow crab legs, GATOR, BOUDIN sausages, frog-legs, oysters, etc. They even had SWEETTEA!!! The restaurant was a big dirty though. NOTOK! I WOULD go back to this place if I was in NOLA again. That drive over the lake was cool too…26 miles each way. So almost an hour to get there from the city. Just make sure you don’t get lost, or you might find yourself in NOWHERE, LA.
