We asked AI for an authentic restaurant in the area and we’re recommended here. AI can be spotty but this recommendation was not only spot on but was a home run. Every aspect of this restaurant was amazing from the time we walked in the door until we prayed ourselves out of our chairs to leave. Lydia was an amazing hostess, server and cashier. We asked her for a recommendation for which she truly made us excited about each of the few she gave us. We wish we could have tried them all. A group of customers came in shortly after we did and have us glowing reviews as regulars that were totally unsolicited. Rumor is from those folks is that Gordon Ramsey had been there and deemed it the best in New Orleans. Who cares what all these people said because my opinion was the only one that mattered. Bam! Yes, more please. I have a feeling as a first time visitor to New Orleans that this will be the highlight of our trip. But don’t just take my word for it. Try it for yourself and let me know if it isn’t the most amazing food among amazing people.

Ok, Voleo’s! I see you!
I was craving some fried chicken other than the usual fast food chains, Popeyes, KFC, Churches, etc.. and decided to give Voleo’s a try. Did not disappoint! I loved the crispiness of the skin. The flavoring wasn’t too salty, just right, and it was juicy I also got their muffuletta and thought that it was really good. Not the best I’ve had but coming in at a strong second

Food was great! Atmosphere was nice and cozy, very home-y vibes. Service was nice and speedy. Definitely recommend the gumbo, I had the chicken gumbo which was delicious. Also had a seafood platter which was solid, and boyfriend had the hamburger steak which he really liked. Overall a great experience and has definitely improved since Kitchen Nightmares! Will be back again!

We called in a few weeks ago while travelling and had an absolutely fantastic meal at Voleo’s Seafood Restaurant.
We ordered the seafood platter, along with the seafood dishes, house-tossed salad, and several other items and honestly, everything was spot on. The seafood was fresh, beautifully cooked, and full of flavour. The platter was generous and well-balanced, and the house salad was crisp, fresh, and the perfect complement to the meal.
Service was friendly and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere made it a place you want to sit, relax, and really enjoy the food. You can tell there’s pride in what comes out of the kitchen.
We’re from Australia, and we rate restaurants and cafés all around the world, so we don’t say this lightly. Voleo’s is doing things right. Quality food, great presentation, and a memorable dining experience.
Highly recommended. We’ll definitely be back if we’re in the area again.

Very authentic look and atmosphere, Family owned and operated. If you’re coming to Louisiana I believe this is a must stop to grab a delicious bite.
The salad was a good portion, it was my first time trying hush puppies so it’s hard to compare but they tasted very doughy.
The BBQ Shrimp was amazing but the bacon could have been a little more cooked.
Now for the two entrees, starting off with the shrimp and crawfish fettuccine was cooked to perfection, a nice pasta with a flavorful sauce, the toast was an added bonus.
The chicken and oyster noodles were as well delicious but came more watery than the pasta almost like a soup but rich with flavor.
This establishment made me feel right at home and very clean with amazing service. I look forward to coming back.

Voleo’s seafood restaurant is a great Mom and Pop’s type place. Definitely a hidden gem.
Food portion was huge. The shrimp pasta was delicious! It even heated back up very well later on (since I couldn’t finish it and one sitting). Honey mustard on the salad tasted homemade. I can’t remember the name of the older woman who served me, but she was very kind and helpful.
Things to note: This place is small and confined, but don’t let that deter you from their wonderful service and food! If you don’t like small places, I recommend takeout. Unlike some place that never answer the phone, their phone was ringing off the hook, and they were answering every call! I noticed this when I walked up front.
It was really cold inside even with a coat. I wish it was a little warmer inside.
My overall experience was great. I will return if I’m in the area!

So we have just got home from visiting Voleo’s! Home being in the United Kingdom (Britain )(England ). We have been big fans of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Knightmares TV show since it first began in The UK!. However, we watched this episode and just absolutely fell in love with the place and the family and we had to come to experience it!. So we came and didn’t say where we had travelled from or why because we just wanted to experience it properly like the locals would do and WOW!! We where not disappointed!. We travelled 4633 Miles and we would do it again!. The food was incredible, the service was incredible and the entire trip was incredible. We will remember it for the rest of our lives!.
All the best for 2026 and the future to every member of staff and every family member Thank you for being awesome!.

What a lovely small, family operated, seafood dining. We’ve got fishermen’s platter, flounder lafitte (special), fish platter. Fish was fresh and delicios, with thin and crunchy breadcrumbs. Flounder tastes amazing. Service was quick and friendly. Jambalaya sides were rich, with solid chunks of sausage.
