Smitty's Seafood. (Hospitality and Gastronomy) in Kenner (Louisiana).
Description
Tucked away at 2000 W Esplanade Ave, Smitty’s Seafood in Kenner is that local gem you sorta wish your friends wouldn’t find out about. You know, the kind of place where you can dig into some serious soul food without fuss? I popped in for lunch on a whim, and boy, did it deliver.
Walking in, you’re greeted with that comforting, laid-back vibe. It feels down-to-earth, almost like stepping into someone’s cozy dining room. Staff members? Super friendly. A gal named Chanel was our server, and let me just say, she was as sweet as that iced tea they serve—perfectly sweetened, by the way.
The menu is bursting with options. From the massive seafood boats to po’boys that’ll make your mouth water, there’s something for everyone. I spotted fried oysters, gumbo, and more boiled shrimp than I could shake a stick at. Trust me, if you’re a shrimp or crawfish aficionado, you’d be in heaven. The flavors? Oh man, seasoned just right. But, word of caution—the boiled shrimp can be a bit of a workout to peel if they’re overcooked. Just saying!
I overheard a couple of locals chatting about the daily specials, and boy did they look tempting. The crawfish pasta had a few tables buzzing; sounded like some folks were coming back for seconds! Plus, portions are huge. Seriously, if it says it feeds 2-3, you’re easily sharing with 4 hungry adults.
I mean, I can’t stress this enough: if you’re in the area—maybe swinging by the Louis Armstrong New Orleans Airport—Smitty’s is worth the visit. Open seven days a week, it’s perfect for lunch or dinner! I’d put money on the fact that you’ll leave satisfied, perhaps with a few leftovers for the road.
In short, Smitty’s Seafood hits the mark for a casual seafood fix, a slice of that authentic Louisiana flavor, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love flavorful food served with a smile? So next time you find yourself near Kenner, definitely give Smitty’s a go!
