New Orleans Hamburger & Seafood Co

Very yummy! We loved the thin sliced fryed catfish. We also tried the gator poppers they were ok, but the Boudain balls were pretty yummy. The atmosphere was cool. Large restraunt. Great for families.

The food was good and the waitress was pleasant, though they cooked my Burger to be medium rare and my husband’s to be rare when it should have been the other way around. Husband did not like his drink so they remade him a new no charge one at no charge which was a nice surprise. The garlic fries are incredible. Fun place to sit in front of the window and watch the streetcar and people go by.

Deep fried crap.
No meat between layers of batter.
Gumbo is warm brown water with a few bait shrimp.
An embarrassment to New Orleans seafood.

4 stars here, could have been 5 but the service is not very attentative.
I came in here for lunch looking for red beans and rice and the food was good. My friend ordered gumbo and it was good as well. The prices are great as each meal was under $ 10.
The atmosphere is nice, the area is huge and clean. Nice bar as well

Went here with friends. Great staff. I’m only writing on behalf of the beignets. They were hot, fluffy and perfectly powdered. They were awesome. Better than the Café De Monde in the French Quarter. So that’s what I wanted to review about. Hope this helps you find your perfect beignets.

Have dined here numerous times, even last night.
Nice place, lighted private parking lot, good views of streetcars & walkers on historic St. Charles Avenue.
The ordering is at counter, with everything else table-​service. This is a confusing and inefficient system; foods are frequently served late & cold.
There is a separate sweets, coffee, & beignets area, and yet another separate bar area, with tables. But bartenders have always been extremely inattentive to customers.
Last night was a comedy of minor ordering & kitchen goofs; but our great server, «Sam», dilligently & cheerfully smoothed things out for our party; and a good time was had.
Kudos to Sam.
Despite all its faults, we seem to keep going back, anyway, hoping for some improvements in service.
This place has GREAT potential !

1. Menu is Hit or Miss but I Recommend:
— The Shrimp platter (see pic): 25 on mine, a nice not-​overbattered golden fry with 2 generous sides; $ 19 after-​tax, 2 meals easy
— Rajun’ Cajun Burger
— Cole slaw (I drain mine and substitute for all sides)
— Garlic fries!
2. Counter Service: that cuts ordering time and the gratuity (but these servers work hard and usually deserve a nice one… on the table… in cash).
3. Refillable Fountain Drinks.
4. Off-​street parking.

Sunday happy hour was great! Reasonably priced, good service, even able to split our checks for a party of 9. Enjoyed this place — burgers were good!

One of my guilty pleasures here in town. I feel like I shouldn’t like New Orleans Hamburger & Seafood Co but I really do.
It’s in no way refined or high class but I’m always served a good full dish of food. A nice place stacked high full of fried goodness.
I always get the thin fried catfish platter when I go here. The catfish are very good and surprisingly not dry even though are so thin and deep fried. The rosemary garlic fries that come wit them are good by themselves.
The boudin balls are a good choice as well to start off with.

We came here on the recommendation of my boyfriend’s cousin. We were not disappointed. The location is great and they have a window along the St. Charles street side wall to easily see the streetcars. It was very picturesque.
You have to order and pay first then sit down where ever you pick. This felt weird as I didn’t have cash so I had to pay tip before my service. You are given a cup and can refill your cup as needed. Seems like the waitress only brought over food and dessert.
We started with the crawfish queso ans chips and i has a cup of gumbo. Both were excellent. I would def order both again. For our main we had shrimp po’boys and my 7yo had chicken tenders. We had the onion rings and fries. No complaints. For dessert we tried the bread pudding. It was excellent with the caramel and scoop of ice cream. They also have a one per customer soft serve vanilla ice cream cone you can eat there or take to go.
All of the food was great and we would come back again. I Def recommend this place, hands down!

We’ve been here multiple times and each time it has been great! The latest time we went was during one of the Mardi Gras parades. We left the parade route for a quick bite to eat and for a bit of rest period. It’s located right on St Charles so it was super convenient to get there. Surprisingly, even during the busy Mardi Gras season, we got served and seated pretty quick!
This time, I ordered a Chilli Cheese Deluxe Burger that comes with a side of Garlic Fries. So the burger was great, a nice, sloppy burger that was incredibly flavorsome. A decent size too, I actually kept half of the burger to take home as I couldn’t finish it all. It wasn’t as hot as I was expecting, but it was still great. The Garlic Fries, omg, they literally coat fries with a coating of garlic buttery sauce. These are great! Incredibly flavorsome and your breath afterwards could slay a vampire. I think these come with a lot of the burgers but double check prior to ordering, they are a must! A great thing about this place is that they offer free ice cream cones also which you can help yourself to. During Mardi Gras night, a bunch of kids were mucking about and broke several of the cones so it was a mess but usually it’s maintained.
Overall, I love this place and the meals here are always satisfying. Definitely try it out!

I’ve been to this location before but even then, it doesn’t compare to what it used to be. I ordered the shrimp and catfish combo and the best thing on the plate was the shrimp. It was always the most delicious option in my opinion but the catfish was a big let down. We had a choice to order either thin or thick catfish and we ordered thick. There’s not that much of a difference actually. I understand that lemon is used in cooking almost as much as salt. There was a tangy lemon aftertaste in every bite of catfish and shrimp and that throws you off when you’re used to relying on the batter being the flavor kicker instead of a lemon aftertaste. What really saved the dish was the garlic drizzle on the fries; it was a real surprise to freshen up the boring potato that if left naked, would’ve been pretty hard to swallow. I wouldn’t really recommend anyone to come here unless they have been before and they wanted something familiar. The fact of the matter is that in the case of seafood restaurants, there are better options in New Orleans. New Orleans might not be attached to the name, but don’t sleep on them; ask me for some better options! Another thing: Great service CANNOT make up for subpar food. Period.

Unless you’re in the mood for some lemony tang in your seafood, I wouldn’t necessarily advise this establishment.
Customer service is extremely friendly and the establishment very clean and colorful.
Personal suggestion: the Onion Rings should be split between two people. They certainly give you a lot. Also the steak fries appear to have this unique light sauce on them that actually makes them quite delectable.

The fries. Best fries I’ve ever had. Ever. Wedge cut fries drizzled with melted garlic butter. Amazing.
The shrimp poboy was okay. It was a lot of bread and not a lot of shrimp. I’ve definitely had better.
Ice cream is free if you buy a kids meal or a drink from the bar. My husband and I didn’t realize that until after we both made ourselves one. Oopsie!
Service was a bit slow but friendly!

The alligator poppers were amazing. Even the presentation was appealing. The barbecue shrimp poboy had a very unique taste. The more I ate it, the more I liked it.

The food was really good! I had the alligator poppers, a must try and a shrimp po-​boy. The service was really good as well. I love this location.
Our table looked out onto St. Charles, so we had a view of the streetcars. Which my 4 year old loved. Highly recommend.

Went yesterday for chicken ceasar salad and childs catfish and the food is prepared with very little care. Who ever puts together the salads certainly has no experience or just doesnt eat them. Lettuce seemed low grade. Prison lettuce has to have higher grade than what aI experienced yesterday. The catfish didnt look all that good either which is most unfortunate. I have complained to management before and they offer a free meal for my experience but things just dont improve.
This place could be so much better. They should since they call themselves New Orleans Hamburger.

This was my last meal in New Orleans and it left me full and satisfied. They have an array of seafood options as well as burgers as the name suggests. I had the bayou pasta and it was quite good.
The atmosphere is airy and bright. The day I was there they opened those wall window thingies and we got a table right by it and it was really a gorgeous day, which made the food taste all the better. High ceilings and one of the walls has a floor to ceiling map of New Orleans, which is pretty cool.
Anyways, you order at the counter which is towards the back of the restaurant (as you walk in from the parking lot it should be right there on the left) and then once you order, they give you a number and you take that with you to your table, put it on the little metal thingy and they’ll serve you at your table.
Service is actually quite good, or at least it was for me, so I would recommend that you have some cash on hand.
A couple things to note, as it is with most restaurants you can always ask for water cups but at new Orleans Hamburger & Seafood Co, they give you the same cup as the regular soft drinks, so don’t get confused :)
The gumbo which is called something like ‘New Orlean’s Best Gumbo’ was quite good.
Good place.
Honest report, unless I lived in New Orleans, I won’t be back.

When I moved to New Orleans in the year 2000, there weren’t any fancy pants hamburger joints like there are now, but there was NOHS, which offered you the (somewhat odd) choice of a burger or a local (poboy) sandwich in a fast casual setting. What I liked about the restaurant at the time, at least the Metairie outlet I frequented, is I recall they had a rather large «fixins» bar, which seems to have vanished.
Nevertheless, they have grown to multiple locations and serve pretty good quality food, rather quickly. The uptown outlet that I was in, on St. Charles, has a full bar and raw oysters as well. Mixed drinks were $ 4.44, it may or must have been happy hour, cause it’s been a year or six since drink prices were in that range. Oysters were cheap as well.
But the item worth going in for, as you’ll see in most of the online reviews? The fries. Drizzled with garlic /​herb butter, flavor and texture is superb, with the potatoes sliced in such a fashion as to retain the flavoring.
A small pool of melted butter sat below the fries. Dear owners: please make ramekins of this available as a dipping sauce. Love to pour it on fried shrimp. I’ll pay!

Upon entering the location it wasn’t very inviting and the staff seemed to feel like it was a burden to take our order. The location was definitely prime with it being right off St. Charles and in the midst of the Rex Mardi Gras parade and in their defense, maybe they were just fed up with the massive amount of drunkards and foolishness that might have been going on outside but still that is no excuse for the poor attitudes.
The food was overpriced and lacking a pizazz that has come to be associated with New Orleans food and culture. Of course there was a limited menu and it contained only a few items and each tasted worse than the others. The jambalaya was mushy and bland. Yes, it had some spice but that was only hot sauce masking the blandness.
I would be welcomed to give it a second chance but they would have to really show that the food, atmosphere, and personnel truly represent New Orleans and that good olé’ southern hospitality.
