The Blue Crab Restaurant & Oyster Bar Seafood Restaurant on the New Orleans Lakefront The Blue Crab Restaurant & Oyster Bar is the newest addition to the New Orleans Lakefront area.
(4679)

Overlooking beautiful Lake Pontchartrain, the restaurant is locally owned and operated, and proudly serves only the finest Louisiana seafood. The Blue Crab is a throwback to the good ol' days of West End. Remember relaxing on the dock, drinking an ice cold beer and eating hot boiled crawfish & crabs? Our atmosphere will bring you right back there as old memories are shared and new memories are created. We are excited to be a part of the community, and to be a landmark raising the standard in the revitalization of the Lakefront area.

Not to rush the holidays or anything…but the good party dates don’t stay open forever. 👀🎄

The Crab Trap Room is our private space for holiday parties, work events, cocktail hours, engagement celebrations, rehearsal dinners, birthdays, and pretty much any excuse to get your favorite people around one table.

Your own space. Same Blue Crab food. Same lakefront views. 🦀

We don’t usually get this excited about a salad, but most salads don’t come with two scoops of bleu cheese ice cream. 👀

Add candied bacon, tomatoes, and a sweet and tangy balsamic reduction, and suddenly, we’re salad people. 😉
