The only places I liked in this “Restaurant Row” area were this place and Station 6. Captain Sid’s isn’t a restaurant but it sells prepackaged food (potato salads, etc.) and fresh seafood. Station 6 is an upscale yet casual-themed restaurant. Everything else around here looked average. (February 2019)

Tourists pay attention, this is important info. If you are coming to Nola and plan to eat crawfish, here is some advice from a crawfish pro. First off, there’s nothing like a home boil done right. If you have friends here that know what they are doing, you’ve hit the jackpot, Godspeed. If not, have no fear. There will be some chirps from the cheap seats but The Bucktown area of New Orleans, name ably Captain Sid’s, is the go to spot for boiled crawfish in the city for locals. Captain Sid’s competitor a block down is 1b to Captain Sid’s 1a. I won’t mention them bc this is a Captain Sid’s review. Only bad thing is that these are both seafood markets with no dining area. However, if you have an AirBnb, do what the locals do, bring it back, dump it on the table outside and make it a party. Eating crawfish in restaurants usually will cost you a boatload, possibility double or triple the market price. Best months of the crawfish season are March, April and May but you may find some decent mud bugs a month before and/or after peak season. I’d stay away from eating crawdads from July-December, chances are they could be from China, which is blasphemy!
