House of Seafood Buffet

We finally made the trek across the lake and out into the rural area for the House of Seafood. After hearing stores of how magnificent the place was supposed to be, we were a bit disappointed.

The place is kind of rundown and old. The seating consists of wood picnic benches. I guess they don't want you to get too comfortable and stay too long. The food is served from one very long table area.

Much of the food really didn't look all that appealing. Some of it was labeled, but most of it was not. So, many items were a mystery. I mostly stuck to what I actually recognized.

The boiled crawfish and shrimp were good. I also liked these fried things called Gator Balls. They tasted mostly like crab to me. Oddly no one else at my table cared for them.  The pecan pie was downright nasty. I could not even eat it and wondered what it was made from.

Overall, I don't think we will be making the long trip back too soon.

It's been over a decade since I visited this mecca of cajun buffets in the sticks well beyond the causeway. Still my favorite buffet I've been too, and I live in the home of buffets in Vegas. Hope to return someday, but I'll have to look up old LA local friends to help me find it. If this place was right next door to the Bellagio's world reknowned buffet, I'd choose House of Seafood probably 3 out of 4 times.

The mecca of Seafood Buffets. This place Rocks! You will definitely get your money worth here. Located about 35 minutes outside of New Orleans due yourself a favor and visit next time your in the Big Easy.You name it they have it.
