Kenney Seafood Inc — Restaurant in Slidell

I came to Kenney’s Seafood for the first time in several years. I now remember why I haven’t been back. I ordered the red beans and catfish special with the corn and crab bisque on the side. As far as the food goes, the catfish was salty and a little over cooked. The tartar sauce was very tasty so it made the fish bearable. The red beans were watery and rice was undercooked. The corn and crab bisque was very sweet, almost like sugar was added to it. I had lunch with two other people, both ordered the same thing and had the same critique. That wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was the customer service. I ordered a cup of ice because I don’t drink soda (or anything else for that matter) and I brought a bottled water with me. Rebecca was working behind the counter. She charged me and I went to get ice from the ice machine. I looked at my receipt to see what my number was and noticed that she charged me $2.49 for a cup of ice. I went to the counter and told her that she charged me $2.49 for Ice. She said, “oh we have to”. I said, “well, I’m not paying $2.49 for ice and I would like a refund”. Rebecca instantly got an attitude. She went in to the back of the restaurant, came back out, pulled $2 out of the tip jar and handed it to me. Then went in to the register and gave me .50 (forgetting about the tax I guess). I asked her what she wanted me to do with the cup and she said, “leave it on the counter”. When I got to my seat my friend that I was eating with was complaining that she was charged extra for using her debit card. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about the cost of $2.50 ice, it’s that Rebecca didn’t mention the charge not only for my ice but also for the fee when using a debt card. To top that off, her attitude was nasty. At the end of the day she threw the Ice away and lost 3 customers in...

First time eating in the restaurant here. Very disappointed as I have bought seafood from here at the market several times. I ordered the seafood platter and fully expected it to be as pictured online and on the menu. Unfortunately my experience was not something I would want anyone else to experience. My number was called and when I went to the counter to retrieve it a paper sack was pushed towards me. I was bewildered because I did not place a to-go order, I was eating in. When I informed them of this the little blonde girl rolled her eyes and snatched the bag up and threw it to a table in the kitchen. I guess they then proceeded to literally DUMP all the contents out on a tray and someone brought it out to me. The pictures clearly show how pitiful and disappointing the so-called "platter" was!! Shrimp were cold and hard, overcooked, I had one sliver of catfish, and what was supposed to be my soft shell crab looked like just a shell, though of what I couldn't tell. The boudain balls were burnt! I should have followed my first instinct and asked for my money back but I was so hungry and frustrated at that point I decided to eat my sliver of fish and a couple of the greasy, over breaded oysters and just call it a day. As I was trying to eat what I could of this Trainwreck, the rude little blonde girl came into the dining room and began loudly scooting the metal chairs across the floor and slamming things around on tables. Needless to say that I will NOT be going back to eat there ever again. The service was horrible and the food even worse. I usually go to Pearls for the seafood platter but decided to give Kennys a try because my in-laws like it. Pearl's is definitely better,...

We were traveling around Louisina at the end of March seeing the sights and going on the Cajun Encounters Swamp Tour (excellent by the way). I asked a local Loisianin about cajun food - which is mostly deep fat fried. I'm partial to unfried seafood but wanted to try real, fresh cajun seafood. The local man highly recommended Kenny Seafood in Slidell, LA.

We accidentally walked into the fresh seafood market (left) instead of the resteraunt (right). Being an Alaska girl, I know fresh seafood doesn't smell like fish. Kenny Seafood Market was so fresh their food came in each day in a boat across the street. The market was immaculate and smelled briney and clean like seafood should. This was a good sign!

We walked next door to the resteraunt and I was a little surprised that it was a walk-up to order. Anyway, my husbnd and daughter ordered a shrimp po'boy and I ordered the fried oyster plate. I've NEVER ordered fried oysters before, being from Alaska we shuck and eat 'em.

Our order came in a little while. My husband raved about the freshness, flavor, and of the amount of shrimp on their po'boys. I must admit I was worried about too much bread for the sandwich but the type of soft roll went beautifully with the sandwich. The fries were perfectly seasoned too.

My order of fried Oyster came with a cup of Gumbo, hushpuppies, and I ordered onion rings. It also came with cocktail and romolaud sauce. Every bite was scrumptious! The breading on the Oyster were perfect and the Gumbo was the best I'd had on our Louisiana sojourn. I recommend Kenny Seafood 100%!!! You must try Kenny Seafood if you're in...
