B J Seafood - Hammond

I ordered a dozen cooked blue crabs and a few pounds of boiled shrimp with potatoes. My wife loved the crabs, and I really enjoyed the shrimp. Both were well-seasoned and full of flavor.

I ordered boiled crabs, boiled shrimp, and all the accompaniments. The crabs were perfect and delicious. The shrimp had a good flavor, but they were quite dry and difficult to peel. It seems they might have been boiled for too long and left out of the water for too long as well. Aside from that, everything else was excellent!

The restaurant has lost many customers because the phone line is always busy. There is no call waiting, and I couldn't get through after making 12 calls. While the food is decent, the customer service is terrible.

If you're in search of fresh shrimp, I wouldn't recommend this place. I recently moved to the area from the river parishes and ended up paying $15 for a pound and a half of medium-sized unpeeled shrimp. As for boiled crab, you can get a dozen for $24 at Miller's Mart, and they even throw in a half dozen for free. I suggest sticking to the vendors on the roadside. I bought from here in a hurry, but it’s definitely not the go-to spot for fresh shrimp. It’s overpriced compared to getting it from the shrimp man or even Rouses. Just a little tip to help you save money. God bless!

I arrived around 5:40 and wanted to get some food, but there was a line leading to the register when I got there. The waitress asked if I wanted to dine in, and I said yes, but she told me I couldn't eat in at that time. When I asked if I could place a to-go order instead, she informed me that the kitchen was closed. Unfortunately, there was quite a long line of people waiting.
