Lefort's Seafood

This place Has best boiled seafood crawfish, and shrimp were amazing! We also had the bag of mushrooms, and potatoes those were so good and with a kick worth the small wait for great seafood!!!

The crawfish here is Delicious!!! They offer plenty of options too. The line is really long sometimes and the hours can vary. It's an extremely small place, basically a shed. But they make some of the best food
Definitely a must.

Best boiled crawfish on the westbank for sure! Super friendly staff as well. Only deduction is for their sausage from the boil. I have tried it multiple times at this point. Disappointed every single time. Crawfish, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, boudin etc all rolling though. Boil recipe is very consistent. Dude knows what he's doing most definitely!

I love Lefort’s Seafood!! I’ve been going to Lefort’s for years, and it’s the only place I’ll ever go to for boiled seafood. They are very consistent and the employees are so friendly!!

when you round the bend of this part of lapalco blvd, you'll often see queues of cars and trucks on the side of the road. they may look abandoned, but they belong to hungry people lined up at a little shack of a building.

inside this hidden gem, you'll find friendly people selling some of the best tasting crawfish and fixings in the area. i've enjoyed their stuff several times. today, we got 4 lbs. of piping hot and huge crawfish, an order of corn, two small bags of potatoes, and an order of mushrooms for about $22. it was barely enough for 2 adults and 3 kids (13, 11, 3 yo). we'll get a bit more next time.

take note: they don't go easy on those who are spice sensitive. the non-crawfish stuff is actually more spicy than the crawfish. my kids can barely handle it (aka more for me!).

if you ask them how much should you order for your group or family, they'll adroitly ask: "are y'all from here?" they know that la natives can easily polish off 2-10+ lbs of crawfish per person depending on your appetite and/or girth.

they do take credit cards and if you can get them on the phone--call ahead with your order to save you a bit of time. very good stuff. we will return!
