We went here for dinner because they have gluten free options. They have gluten free fried shrimp, onion rings, coleslaw slaw and French fries. The other two had regular red beans and rice with with spicy sausage. Everyone enjoyed the food and I didn’t have any reaction. Everything was very tasty. They serve boiled potatoes, (instead of bread like at a italian restaurant) which was also nice

Food was excellent. Portions were enough for 2 people. Everything taste great. And, Kayla (our server) was great. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive to our needs.

Patrick was awesome! This was our first time at Deanie’s and he made it that much better of an experience. The food was great and the potatoes with butter was an interesting starter! In Texas, I’m used to bread/croissants with butter. Either way, this is definitely a restaurant to visit again!

I challenge anyone to look at all the reviews I’ve ever written and see if I say this sentence in anyone of them. This is quite literally the best place ive ever eaten at.
This food will literally ruin all other food for you. The bbq shrimp… give the cook a Nobel prize!
The staff… so warm and friendly. Glen was an absolute joy to wait on us. Truly what it means to provide southern hospitality.
I’m just sad I don’t live in Louisiana and can’t have this regularly. A must go to if you’re in a 1 hr radius of this location. You won’t be disappointed!

My husband and I went there for his birthday dinner, and everything was great. The service was top notch. The food was more than I could fit, but worth every dollar. Best seafood restaurant we ever been to from Baton Rouge, LA to Pensacola, FL. Felicia did amazing as our waitress, and she handled a situation behind us better than most people would. We definitely will be back with family.

A little bit of drive out to the bucktown location in Metarie. It’s close to the water, but not on the water and still has that feel of a local fishing town restaurant.
First of all, the seafood gumbo is one of the best that i’ve tried.And believe me, I try them everywhere.I go. It’s worth the drive, just to have the seafood gumbo.
A large bowl of spiced potatoes came with the table. And as you can see, it was not a standard wine pour, very generous.
Next up some chargrilled, oysters drippin’ in butter. Then , the fried half platter with shrimp, fish, crawfish balls, soft shield, crab and plenty of fries.

Its a great place to eat, outside of the tourist places. A great local restaurant with really good food. The crayfish bisque was fabulous and the half plate was more than enough for 2 people.

Now folks, if you ever wondered what happens when the Good Lord gets a craving for seafood, He probably points His cloud right toward Deanie’s in Bucktown. The place smells like a sermon on butter, garlic, and fried cornmeal—and brother, that’s a religion I can get behind.
Deanie’s has been sittin’ proud since 1961, back when Bucktown was all shrimp boats and stories, and the only traffic jam was a couple of pelicans arguin’ over a bait bucket. John and Alma “Deanie” Livacari started it as a little market by the lake, sellin’ seafood so fresh it probably still had a social life. Then along came the Chifici family in the early ’80s, who turned that humble shack into a full-blown temple of Gulf goodness. They didn’t change the spirit—just gave it a little more room for the faithful to gather.
You walk in today and the air’s thick with crab boil and laughter. The tables are loud, the beer’s cold, and the floor’s got just enough stick to remind you somebody spilled a good time there before you. It’s the kind of joint where “fine dining” means a full basket and a happy heart.
Now about that fried oyster platter—mercy. It comes out lookin’ like Mardi Gras on a plate, a golden mountain that’ll make you forget your cholesterol and your better judgment. No garnish, no pretense, just a pile of oysters so perfectly fried you’ll swear the chef’s got a deal with Poseidon himself. Crunch outside, briny heaven inside, all sittin’ on a mess of fries that exist solely to catch what your napkin can’t.
You drown those oysters in hot sauce, squeeze a little lemon for show, and by the time you’re done, you’ll be leanin’ back in your chair grinnin’ like a man who just got away with somethin’. Deanie’s ain’t just a restaurant—it’s proof the world’s still got a few honest pleasures left.
And when you finally waddle out, belly full and spirit lighter, you’ll find yourself thinkin’ the same thing I did:
“Well, I may not know what heaven looks like, but I sure hope it smells like Deanie’s.”

My boyfriend Trigger and I, favorite place in Bucktown to eat at! Always fresh, hot, delicious, and tasty! The service is always great with little to no wait time for a table. We have been dedicated customers since the beginning of of our relationship and that’s been over 13 years now. Thanks for all the beautiful memories and delicious food! We love to order the jumbo stuffed fried shrimps for my boyfriend and I love the stuffed flounder with a side of carrot soufflé! They also serve fresh boiled seasoned potatoes instead of bread and butter as you wait for your entree course. We absolutely love Deanies Seafood and I highly recommend!

The food was delicious, the staff so kind. I hope management acknowledges Brianna- she is one of the best servers I had in my life. She was extremely efficient , kind and patient. She checked on the table multiple times and ensured our food tasted good.
