To get here you'll need a car or taxi there it's not within walking distance of anything in New Orleans, and once you get there not quite sure you want to be because of the outside. However if putting the building and location of spot on the side to try the food you will not be disappointed. The shrimp po-boy was to die for the shrimp was so crispy, fresh and tasty and the French bread fully dressed was killer. I was surprisingly happy and very satisfied once done. Couldn't even finish the whole sandwich it was packed with friend shrimp. A must visit in NOLA just go in with a open mind and promise you'll be glad you did. Even has a few slot machines in back that pay out rarer well too.

I do not understand the rave reviews here….at all!! The ladies were super nice, but the food was subpar! The shrimp were stale, the mashed potatoes tasted like instant and the red beans and rice were just okay! We got an extra plate of food and a large gumbo as well because of all the amazing reviews. In all, we tried the shrimp, corn, mashed potatoes, green beans, red beans & rice, baked catfish and gumbo. Three meals, a gumbo and two sodas….$55ish….and it was not good and definitely not worth that price. It is an old convenience store and you should expect instant mashed potatoes and canned corn & green beans.

It is simple in design, yet offer so much for anyone looking to get their food fix, whether the delicious hot sausage poboy with fries, or some wholesome seafood to keep the day going. And the staff, they really make you feel like you are part of their family with their warm smiles and captivating and wholesome demeanor. I would definitely recommend Natal's Seafood whenever a passerby is looking to get something to eat. The only gripe would be the no place to sit and enjoy it, because the atmosphere is really quaint and, due to restrictions, it is understandable.

Hard to understand, kept arguing with me , no prices shown for what they had offered . The items I settled on were salty and dripping with grease and that was the rice dish and noodles dish , how is rice and noodles that greasy. Gumbo smelled like sweaty are pits . Two minutes after I was done eating I had instant heartburn and indigestion. Thank god I had tums to reduce the horror of food I ate . I have eaten many places in New Orleans and I can say beyond a shadow of doubt this is the worst place to eat . You may like it but I will avoid it .

We got the red beans and rice which is a little different from what we get in Shreveport, it had just a hint of sweet to it so it was a good kind of different. It was also sausage and pork and not sausage and chicken as we are used to, another good different as well. It was a good decent meal for the no wait time as it come off the hot bar. I'll be back in the area in 3 weeks and I'm going to get their gumbo this time.

I've visited this place numerous times, but today February 23rd 2018 was horrible! I purchased the red beans and the ribs and pasta, the beans weren't good anymore, the pasta was so bland! I couldn't believe it!" They must have changed their recipe or got another chef, but it was horrible! I asked if I could change the beans to something else and the response I got was very rude! I would suggest by eating there anymore!

Food taste like it had been sitting a while. They refused to put food in separate containers. All food was stuffed in one container. So different foods ended up mixed together. Fried rice ended up filled with juice from corn by the time I made it home. Which made it inedible because my kids don't like their food to touch. I won't be giving them any more business. No consideration for customer.

I asked for a "Sloppy Dressed Roast Beef" I got dry Roast beef. No gravy.. No good.. I got a sm Chicken & Shrimp Lowmain... Now that was Good! the Total was $16.oo

I stayed 2 doors down at Jude’s RV park for a week during essence festival and I picked up food almost every other day. The pork chops were so tender but baby don’t miss out on the red beans and rice (it is everything!) I also enjoyed the LoMein the shrimps and chicken in it was a whole meal and the catfish was seasoned to the God’s

I fell in love with Natal's. Great place to grab lunch. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. When you become a regular they treat you like family.

Foods okay sometimes friendly sometimes not so much very stingy with napkins and utensils also no coffee stirs (they have a plastic spoon sitting in a cup of dirty water that everyone that buys coffee has to stir they coffee with EEEWWW). Cigarette prices are HIGH over a dollar more than the dollar store across the street

We are from Houston, Texas going to New Orleans for vacation. We find this place beside the road, give it a try... OMG...the food are really good, fresh and appealing. We get shrimp fried rice+shrimp lo mein+ 2 stack of BBQ ribs for $11.99... Very good price, yummy in my tummy and make sure get their gumbo too...

There's a hot line of different foods. 2 sides and one meat. The food is always good and plentiful. Very reasonable prices. The also sell hot and cold poboys, Seafood Plates and other new Orleans Cusine.You can eat there or take out. The store is very clean and neat. Service by the way is pleasant. Y

I got the fried chicken wing plate with green beans and corn and only paid $12! Great big proportions and the chicken was so good! Will definitely be coming back soon!

Awful food staff treats customer like they are afraid they are going to rob them don't like places that serve you from behind plexiglass if you are afraid of the clientele you're in the wrong business but that is typical of people of that origin

I love to stop in and get breakfast. Grits always creamy. Other meat options available. Not just pork. They could let the bacon get a little crispier. But, this is a good quick place to stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

NATAL'S is my go to place after work!! Whenever I don't feel like cooking, I get Gumbo from here. It's not "MY GUMBO", LOL but it's very good. The staff is always kind And from what I can see, the kitchen looks VERY clean.

Been eating here since 2012. The food and staff are all great! Everyone that visits me from out of state gets brought here to try the food. Most people after their trip is over say the best food they got was from here!

They give you alot of food for your money. They're places to dine in or you can take out. I had the Salisbury steak, they give you 2 patties with 2 vegetables, I had corn and green beans. $8.99 and it was delicious.

MY MOTHER TOLD ME ABOUT NATAL'S SEAFOOD ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND,I HAVE BEEN LOSING MY MIND EVERY SINCE...THE FOOD IS SO DELICIOUS ME,MY MOTHER AND MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT...NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED.

Staying at the Jude Travel Park and Natals is a very short walk, had the seafood poboy and gumbo! Excellent and the service was great, glad we decided to give it a try. You will not be unhappy eating there!

The Food Here is So Amazing I had the Breakfast plate Filled with GRITS EGGS MY CHOICE OF MEAT AND SHE ADDED 6 JUMBO FRIED SHRIMP .....LETS NIT TALK ABOUT THE Gumbo it is to fight The Grim reaper For

I had their gumbo and it was good, not mine but good. Give it a try.

It's in a unique area of town known for sights that aren't the normal tourist faire. The draw here is the portions and who can beat an $18.00 Ribeye with 2 generous sides. More

To expensive, they rush you, nothing home made,grits had no taste because they added to much water in them and bacon wasn't cooked well. I won't visit this place again....smh!!

The food is incredible. Every time we are in Louisiana, this is one of our favorite stops. The owner is always pleasant.

Fantastic!!! We got both of the Tuesday specials: Roast Beef with mashed potatoes and corn and the Grilled Fish with shrimp fried rice and green beans. Soooooo Goooooood!!!!

Was great the first time going there, food fresh, had the specials ready even at closing. On 2nd visit not closing time, food died out, did not have the special available.

Okay food. Lady behind the counter had an attitude about French fries being the only side when you get fries. If you don't get fries you get two sides. Really? Absurd

Good food, reasonable prices. Quick service. Haven't had a bad meal from here. Any time my job takes me to the east I'm stopping by. Rough neighborhood though. More

The food is overpriced and not very fresh. Lucky Jean's is right down the road, lower prices and better quality. And, no, I am not affiliated with Lucky Jean's!

The food was fresh and tasted really good. I will definitely be going back.

I absolutely LOVE the food here! I frequent here during my lunch break. They aren't stingy on the portions and the prices are reasonable. …

Still a great place for some great food as always I wish they would bring back the the deep fried turkey legs and wings that use to love as a child

The food was ok and it's not in the best area, but it wasn't terribly expensive and has pretty fast service with a variety of food available

I always grab something to eat from there when I'm in the area

Words can not do this place justice. Extremely clean kitchen, food is well seasoned and ample portions. One of the best kept secrets!!

I kept trying to eat here. I went every day for a week and they never could get a sink for handwashing or restroom working so I passed

Food was great! Serving portions were more than I expected. Great choices too! I will definitely return next time I'm visiting.

They a shoot that you don't even have to your receipt start paying attention are they will get you out of your extra money

Love this place .I go there every time I'm in New Orleans!

Guumbo was pretty good, but the pork chops were half done and appeared to be old.
