Thompson’s Seafood Co. - Luling

This place is DEE-LI-SHUSH!!!! HANDS DOWN one of the best seafood places around. I have tried to remember to take pics before I eat, but once the food is in the car it is hard not to start eating immediately! So, I remembered to get a pic of half a poboy and what used to be a fried seafood plate! If you are in the New Orleans area, and have about 30 min, its worth the drive down Hwy 90 to get here. The people are great. Oh, and buy some boudin to eat while you are there AND take some frozen for later. It will travel!!!

Waitresses were great!, Food Delicious, wait time short. On SUNDAY the 3rd of July, I met with my spiritual sisters whom I travel with from the Antioch Baptist Church of Des Allemands. La. for a long awaited get together ?? since Covid-19 stopped us dead in our tracks from traveling after 2 years ago. We had a marvelous time and chose the perfect place to gather. When the nice waiter guy came out with those fresh boiled shrimp, boiled seasoned to perfection ????. He literally took the show! That was my second visit I can't wait to return.

Total of 8 of us went to lunch Sunday early afternoon. Plenty of place to park. Waited a short time to be seated. Friendly staff. Food was delicious. Shared seafood platter with wife. Very happy to see a soft shelled crab included. Son had shrimp po boy. Shrimp were very large and plump. French bread was perfect. The breading had some heat to it. It wasn't too hot, it was pleasant. I do wish for the price of the platter that we had a bit more seafood on the plate. And don't forget the bread pudding for dessert. Would recommend and will definitely go back!

My mother and I went here for lunch today on July 30th. Our waitress and the overall service today was absolutely terrible. The food on the other hand was great. When we arrived, we were seated and there were only forks in the silverware packet. No knives or spoons were present. When we received our appetizer, it was just plopped in front of us with no plates, knives, or napkins. When my mother asked our waitress to bring them, she did reluctantly with a bit of an attitude. She barely checked on our table to offer refills for our drinks or to ask if we wanted anything else. The table adjacent to us seemed to have a problem with her as well with no silverware, no checking on the table, and overall service. Again, the food was fantastic, but it will be a while if we ever return due to extremely poor service.

So sorry that I didn?t get pictures but the food is amazing!! This visit I ordered the shrimp platter with French fries. I usually order the Half and Half platter with catfish and shrimp. Either way, I?m never disappointed. The entire wait staff is pleasant, knowledgeable and attentive. Our waitress, Maria, was super helpful and patient with us. Can?t wait to return again.
