Fatty's Seafood Picayune

First of all, Fatty's Seafood in Picayune has the best seafood and Cajun Creole classics all under one roof. I had the Crawfish Two-Step, which had the typical crawfish etoufee but with fried crawfish tails on top. It's an extremely irresistible plate, and way better than all other restaurant offerings of etoufee. Our waitress Alyssa did a decent job with our service, but we weren't asked if we wanted to order dessert, and on top of that, she should have been more friendly with the service we had for dinner at the Picayune Fatty's location. But on a high note, the ambiance looks pretty magnificent; it has Mardi Gras and New Orleans jazz festival replica framed pictures. It's got everything Cajun Creole-related inside the restaurant! I'm glad that I enjoyed the food and New Orleans hospitality north of the state line, but the service was a very slight disappointment for some reason.

This is the worst tasting shrimp po boy I have ever eaten. I'm sorry the bread tasted nasty so I tried to eat the shrimp by itself and that was nasty it tasted old and the waffle fries I couldn't even eat one they were stale nothing was hot.

I dont know what happen to this place it used to be great and now it's not. $20.00 for Shrimp 10 shrimp to be exact and some uncooked fries and untoasted toast bread oh and 2 hushpuppies but I will not even elaborate on them.

Really disappointing. Our party of six arrived on a Thursday night and were seated right away. We ordered the seafood nachos to start. we were all hungry so when they came out we pretty much devoured them. They were absolutely delicious. The tortillas were flour and had an amazing texture and flavor paired with the jalapeño cheese sauce. It wasn 't until about halfway through however, that we realized there was no crab meat on them. Our server was trying to be very helpful and asked if we wanted another order made. Since we had eaten most of it, it didn 't make sense, and we declined. A while later she came out with a small bowl with a few pieces of white crab meat. Because the nachos were so good, we had high expectations for the rest of the meal. After we ordered, we got our food AN HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES LATER! However, 30 minutes into the wait time, our server informed us that they were out of the buy one get one half off dungeness crab and asked if we wanted to substitute them with snow crab. We agreed. My daughter got an ahi tuna salad that was supposed to be served over shredded cabbage with sliced avocado. It came out on iceberg lettuce with one small sliver of brown avocado. When she asked the server if she could have a side of avocado, she was told we ran out. Heck, for the amount of time we had to wait, they could 've driven down to the local grocery store and bought a few! My SIL had ordered a simple cheeseburger cooked medium. It came out well-done. The Cajun Alfredo was awful. It was watery and lacked flavor and the pasta had a strange texture. My shrimp and grits was ok. When we finally got the crab legs they were thin, brittle and NOT fresh. We couldn 't crack the shells, they were too flexible and the meat stuck to the inside shell. During our trip to the bathroom, it looked like they were pretty clean inside, but dark-colored wear in the paint on the doors made them look filthy (I gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried to wipe it with a wet paper towel). None of it was really the servers fault. Anyway, when my family members were able to get some meat out of the crab, they dipped it in the butter and were appalled. We 're not sure exactly what it was. I stopped the passing server and asked if it was possible that something could have been wrong with it. She said the server could 've gotten it off the line instead of using the clarified butter they were supposed to. She came back out and said that it was just unsalted butter. That 's definitely not what the problem was. With the most politeness I could muster I informed her that since we couldn 't get the meat out of the crab legs anyway it probably wasn 't a big deal. It turns out she was a manager and made some concessions on the bill. I just have to say that if this was my restaurant, there is no way I would 've let food go out of the kitchen in the condition that it came out to our table. I give Fatty 's a big fat thumbs down.

We visited New Orleans today for Harry Potter in concert and afterwards We decided stopped at the location in Slidell on our way home but, they were closing early for a Mardi Gras parade that was happening right in front of their business, not wanting to get stuck in traffic we decided not to stay.So, then we decided to visit the picayune location (not mad we were heading that direction anyway and it was not out of our way at all) so glad we did!!! Our server was FAITH ! and she was awesome! she was very attentive and very kind. I ordered the Fatty's **** Mary and fried crab claws to start my boyfriend got a beer, Faith brought us water as well but surprisingly even the bartender came by and asked how the drinks were and asked if we needed anything . After that we placed our order the app was out in maybe 5-6 min as soon as we were done with our app our food was coming out. I ordered the BBQ shrimp and a side of rice pilaf, my bf ordered the Cap n' fatty seafood platter and it was huge! He did add the oysters EVERYTHING WAS GREAT!!! I would give 10 stars if I could! Great people,great food, great service I will definitely be back soon! I wish I would have taken more photos but we were ready to eat ........... BTW we had already ate quite a few crab claws when I took this picture so it was a good size order
