Never been to the area before so walked around and came across this lovely restaurant! It looked clean and well presented on the outside and was just as nice inside, we received a warm welcome and was sat on a table that we were able to choose next to an open window. Our waitress was amazing and couldn't do enough for us and the food was just to die for!! Both me and my friend had the shrimp and crabcake Alfredo and both of us thoroughly enjoyed it! Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back

Love, love, love this place. We sat at the Oyster Bar where we had the pleasure of meeting Raymond. The oysters rank at the top of the many we have had North to South, West to East. Like the Oysters Raymond ranks at the top, excellent shucker, and fantastic attitude.

Absolutely delicious!!! We always treat the kids to a whatever you want meal while on spring break. We ordered pasta, blackened fish, blackened shrimp, frog legs, fried gator, raw oysters, and the crawfish boil! Not one complaint and only praise for every ounce of food! The only issue was that we were seated at the same time as the shift change and it took a while to get our order taken but after that the service was awesome and quick!! It’s a must have if you’re visiting Bourbon street!

We stopped in for lunch to get out of the Bourbon Street craziness. The staff were so friendly and very attentive. We had the raw oysters and fried seafood platter. The portions are humongous so we were glad that we decided to share. The seafood was fresh, lightly breaded, and not greasy at all. We will definitely be back!

I went here for an office Christmas party. We had crawfish pasta, fried grits, bread pudding, and some sort of chicken. The pasta was well seasoned and tasty. The fried grits were something I'd never had before, but were good, especially combined with the sauce. The bread pudding had chocolate chips instead of raisins and was excellent; rich and not too dry or too soggy. I didn't try the chicken, but heard it too was good.

Note that this review is based on an event that had buffet-style catering for a group of 30+ in the restaurant's upstairs room. When food is made for that many people that way, it can be hit or miss, and I've experienced some of the misses. Pier 424 was definitely *not* a miss. However, I gave them a 4.0 instead of 4.5 rating because while the food I had was great and the staff I encountered seemed very friendly, I wasn't actually waited on at any point, so I can't rate the service/waiter part of the experience. Or the prices, for that matter. I would be interested in trying them for a regular meal at some point though.

Good menu choices. First night in the French quarter...
While the atmosphere was similar style of many other with the same fare,
the food choices, quality of food, service and $ value couldn't be beat.

Pleasantly surprised to find real food and a decent bar on Bourbon Street. Bartender was nice, and food was good. It's a good place to eat, drink and wait on your drunk friends to finish acting like idiots on bourbon street. I'll be back

Experience great. Our experience was a pleasurable. Our waitress Britney was very nice. I can see why this place hasn't received the best remarks or scores based on the staff's interactions with the customers but we were lucky enough to get a great waitress. The food was good. We ordered the steak, catfish (ok) and read beans and rice (great). I found a new favorite beer "Abita-strawberry flavored" thanks to our waitress suggestion.

One of the best prices we saw for raw oysters and they were fresh and good. Try the spinach, strawberry and salmon salad, very good! The gumbo was my favorite and the wait staff was attentive. I'd definitely go back.

This has been added to my favorite seafood resteraunt list! This is our second time eating here this week. The first time here I had the 'Scallops St Lewis'. It might be the best seafood dish I have ever eaten ( and I grew up on the Oregon Coast). If you are looking for a reasonably priced seafood resteraunt in New Orleans! Also the Bourbon St atmosphere is great!

LOVE!!!! So delicious. I recommend The red beans and rice, the Mac n Cheese and the gumbo are the BEST I've had in my life. I'm a foodie and a chef and have a snobby palate- there's nothing to turn your nose up at this great restaurant. Ask for Blake- great service and a great view of Bourbon from the balcony!

My fav restaurant in New Orleans. I'm a Texas gal and have been to NOLA three times the last 12 months. I happened upon Pier 424 my first visit in last year and have now established it as a non-negotiable "must eat"! I went two nights in a row my last trip in September, and am going again this evening. The gumbo is absolutely yummy, their specialty Bloody Marys are out of this world, and their food has been consistently good every visit! I know it could be considered touristy being on Bourbon street, but I don't care; I LOVE THEIR FOOD!!!

What a nice surprise!!. My husband and I were walking down Bourbon Street, and we thought the plates they had out for display looked really good, so we decided on a whim to eat there. I had no idea a place on Bourbon among all those bars would have such GREAT food. I had the tilapia catch of the day (blackened), Mardi Gras rice (dirty rice), and mac n cheese. The tilapia was REALLY fresh and seasoned well, the rice was yummy...and the mac n cheese!! :) We both agree that it was the most amazing mac n cheese we've ever had...they make it with gouda! It was so deliciously cheesy, rich, and perfect. My husband loved his steampot, and the Hurricane I got there was also great. Our waitress was really cool, very down-to-earth, and gave us good tips for visiting The Big Easy. If you want a true taste of NO, go to Pier 424! We will definitely be back when we go to NO next time.

If you liked it before, you will love it now. Pier 424 has a new Executive Chef...Chef Rob Bechtold...If you haven't met him, please go by and say Hi.
Chef Rob has added some flare to the food as well as the "southern" hospitality aspect of the staff.
The Crawfish Ettouffe is to die for...
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did......

Better than expected. I haven't liked any of the several other Quarter tourist traps run by the group that runs this Pier 424. All boring, cliched menus and decor, and overpriced. Except this one. Well, it was still overpriced and boring, but the food was much better. At least the one thing I had. The crawfish cake po boy and the fries that came with it were above average tasting and reasonably priced. I paid $13 for it including tax and tip w/o a drink.

Surprisingly good for Bourbon Street.. Went here with family a few weeks ago, and we all liked our food. The service was pretty good. What a pleasant surprise for Bourbon Street in the middle of the night. The fried catfish was so good! I will go back again when we are in the Quarter.

This was actually my first stop this year in NOLA. Walking down Bourbon street, overwhelmed with choices, we picked this place because I wanted to try some fried alligator. The alligator was awesome, tasty and fresh. However……….. I think I discovered the best shrimp and grits I have ever tasted in my life!

The oyster po' boy ticks all my boxes. Half a dozen oysters are sheathed in a super crunchy batter, breaking through to intensely sweet and briny oysters within.

I’m not a seafood guy so take this with a grain of salt. I recently had charbroiled oysters on this trip to New Orleans. I think these are slightly better than the first ones I ever had at another local place. We also got a shrimp boil and it was good I like the potatoes. We also got some of their gumbo and jambalaya and they are on par with other similar restaurants. If you are in the area it’s worth stopping in.

Our party of 8 stopped in here on a Saturday night and were able to get a table upstairs relatively quickly. Our server, Trent, did a great job managing our group. He was polite, friendly, and very accommodating. When we ordered oysters for our appetizer, he brought out the charbroiled instead of raw (my mistake), but he quickly offered to bring us out what we wanted. All our food came out quick and was very good. The Fried Alligator was very tender, and the Bayou Frog Legs (tasting like chicken wings, in case your apprehensive to try them) were flavorful and delicious. Even though I did not mean to order the charbroiled oysters, I did try one and really enjoyed their flavor. Absolutely a happy accident and something I'd be willing to order in the future!

I really enjoyed the food here! I ordered the stuffed shrimp and the crab cakes and they were delicious! The sauce that they smother the crab cakes in has to be from Heaven😇 The restaurant is conveniently located on Bourbon St so being about to observe the people and listen to the music while eating was a plus. I took a lot of my meal to go and it was even better the next day!! My brother ordered the meal that came with 4 items (gumbo, jambalaya, etouffee, and red beans and rice) and it was delicious as well!

The corn and crab soup was good, didn't like the hard crust on the crab cakes and the drink was ok...barely tasted the alcohol. The server was great! Overall I'll scale it a 3 out of 5.

Pier 424 Seafood Market is a treasure trove of authentic NOLA cuisine. The Chicken Andouille Sausage Gumbo was an explosion of flavors - smoky, hearty, and utterly divine. The Boiled Crawfish were perfectly seasoned, transporting us to the heart of the bayou. "Taste Of New Orleans" was an extraordinary culinary journey, filled with iconic dishes expertly prepared. Surprisingly, the cheeseburger stood out with its juicy, beefy goodness. The Jambalaya was a delicious medley of savory elements, and the Red Beans And Rice were comfort food at its finest - creamy, rich, and nostalgic. Pier 424 is a must-visit for the gastronome!

Located in the heart of Bourbon St. festivities! Nice and friendly staff and amazing chargrilled oysters. One of my requested menu items never made it to my table. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience near the music, laughs, and fun of New Orleans.

We ate there on Christmas. It was very busy, but serve was fast. We ordered the gumbo and the seafood combo platter. Everything was delicious!!! The portions were so big we still had leftovers even after splitting the dish between two of us. Our waitress was Kathy and she was very friendly and always checking on us.

Perfect affordable choice for a casual Cajun dining experience. We were seated with 5 minutes of arriving. The hostess was friendly, and our waiter (I think it was Antuan) was awesome and had the best smile. I started with the Hurricane and I thought it was the best that I had this week. It had a litte bit more pineapple than most, which I liked. It was also pretty! I had the Taste of New Orleans with the Jambalaya, Gumbo and Red Beans and Rice. It was all very tasty but my favorite was definitely the Jambalaya. I was scraping my bowl to get every last bite. My dining partner had the Southern Fried Fish meal. The plate was overflowing with fish,, fries, onion rings and bread. She loved the fish, that the breading was spot on. The onions rings, were nice and crisp. The french fries were fine, nothing special. The decor and atmosphere were fun and festive. Someone was playing drums (or buckets) during our entire meal, which annoyed my dining partner, but honestly I hardly noticed it and when I did, I thought it added to the experience.; There were several people sitting at the bar that looked like they were having a great time, so this is probably a great place to just stop for a drink. This is definitely a great choice for a modestly priced meal on Bourbon Street where you don't have to make reservations.

Sooooooo Gooood!! So many places to go in the French Quarter and I'm glad we ended up at this place! So delicious I wanted to order a plate to take to the hotel because I wanted more 😋

Interesting atmosphere inside (including the indoor house/porch). The staff were great! Our server was so nice and warm, loved her. I got the Hurricane (their signature dish) and it was really good – got a little tipsy lol. We both got the sampler dishes and it was okay, probably liked the red beans and jambalaya the most. The night we went (I think our first night in NOLA, visiting from Toronto), a fight broke out inside however it was for some great entertainment 😂 Security was there and everything was handled, then everyone carried on laughing like nothing happened 👏🏽

The grilled cheese was delicious. The sweet potato fries were a treat. Popcorn shrimp tasted like chicken at first. Our host was nice. Right there on Bourbon Street.
