Dined in January 11th at the start of my birthday trip to New Orleans. The wonderful woman who cared for us was an owner/operator and married to the chef. Whatever she has him set that fryer to is WORKING because oh my god the food was hot and fresh and fried with a light delicacy that few people can master. It was delicious and the fastest I’ve ever had food come out in Louisiana lol!! We had excellent service and food and most importantly, I did not get sick. This is the first popcorn shrimp I’ve had in 6 years, I could have cried. Do not skip the onion rings!

Honestly not sure what more you could want. Gluten free fried fish, chicken, fries, and very knowledgable. Only downside is not open every day of the week, but certainly delicious and tastes fresh.

Fried AND gluten free?!?

Seriously..this food was PHENOMENAL. It was seasoned to perfection. I had the chicken & shrimp platter,, hubby had the Oyster & Shrimp Po Boy. We both LOVED them.

If they didn't close at 4 I may have went back for dinner. If you are anywhere near NOLA please go check out this little spot ran by a husband and wife team that pour love into this food! Even those who can eat gluten will LOVE this spot!

Had a great meal & experience yesterday . The fried oysters, shrimp, fish & onion rings were Excellent. The server/ owner helped us safely share the BBque shrimp appetizer- which provided my hubby the opportunity to use The delicious (gluten containing) French bread for ‘dipping’ ! I (celiac) felt safe.

This is by far the best place to get fried seafood around. The incredibly friendly husband/wife duo that run this place offer outstanding service and top notch food!! I’ve been multiple times and have never gotten sick. This place is probably my favorite for fried seafood. I feel so safe here and well taken care of. If you decide to go during a busy rush, please bring your patient pants because there’s only one waitress but let me tell you she does an excellent job and is both quick and kind!

This is a great restaurant whether you need to eat gluten free or not. Everything we have ever had has been delicious and those who need gluten free meals are not disappointed. It is often hard to get good gluten free fried shrimp but theirs is delicious. Definitely worth trying even if you don’t need to eat gluten free but especially if you do.

OMG! This place is amazing. I’m celiac and the fried seafood was wonderful. I splurged and had the fried seafood platter and onion rings. Such a treat! I have enough left over for 2 more meals. The waitress and her husband, the chef, are the owners. They are very careful and very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free prep. Wish I lived here. I would be here all the time. Highly recommend!!!

We ate there Saturday (6/15) buffalo shrimp appetizer/gfree, Fish Atchafalya with crawfish tails and they substitute sauce to accommodate gfree. When I ordered gumbo to go for a non celiac family member the wait staff quickly informed me to make sure there was no issue. I’m booking a rehearsal dinner here I’m so pleased/satisfied/happy. It’s a must visit restaurant

Listen up local and visitor Celiacs to Metairie. When you want the best GF gumbo you go to Chef Ron's Gumbo Stop. For the best make-your-own GF pizza, it's Mark Twains. Now, if you want the best mouth watering cornucopia of fried GF seafood, it's "The Catch". All shrimp, oyster, catfish, crawfish, soft shell crab, fries, and onion strings are slathered in GF Zatarains seasoning and go into a dedicated fryer. And don't pass up the eye watering shrimp remoulade.

Food was AMAZING! When they brought out the appetizer, there was a piece of non-GF bread on the plate but before I had to say anything, they caught the mistake, brought out another plate for free and gave my husband (who is not celiac) the one with the bread for free! Everything else was perfect! I am a very sensitive celiac, and had no issues!!! Definitely will be back!!!
