Experience the real French Quarter at Shrimp Boil Cabaret
Step away from the tourist crowds and join us for a private dinner party celebrating the flavors and sounds of the Quarter. The Shrimp is sourced from local shrimping families at their boat docks a few hours before your shrimp boil to choose the largest, freshest, wild-caught local shrimp available. Mister Gregory, "The Shrimp Boil King of New Orleans" grew up in the Gulf South shrimping and boiling and advocating for wild-caught Gulf Shrimp and the "eat it to save it" culinary approach. Please join us for live local music and a lovely dinner party, make some new friends and eat the very best shrimp in the world.

Save your money (and your time)
Really wish i could leave zero stars. Please dont waste your money. Im currently working with viator and my card company to get our money back. We were a group of four and spent $109 EACH on nothing! One supposed crab appetizer that had no crab, only breading. The shrimps from the shrimp boil were soggy and flavorless. There was nothing here that amounted to more than 20-30 bucks total. We had several dinners that cost half the price and were phenomenal! The operator was even charging $50 for people who came in off the street at the last minute! I really hope anyone reading this chooses wiser than I did when I booked it.

I was stood up. I went...
I was stood up. I went early as was suggested. NO ONE showed up. No phone call, no email. I called many numbers, one disconnected, the other, left 4 messages to owner no return call. Texted Viator 4 times, no response. Terrible that they could not even let me know it was canceled.
Operator response
There was no experience offered on this night. All guests should reconfirm their bookings for accuracy. Viator customer care and messaging is available 24/7 to address any problems.

A Hidden Gem in New Orleans
What an amazing evening! The food was delicious and the music was the perfect match. We had samplings of food items we never knew of. Come hungry and be prepared to leave stuffed!

The Fun Table
I had a good time. The chef was humorous and knowledgeable. The music was very pleasant. I sat with a couple that were repeat customers. It was his birthday and their anniversary. We sang 3 versions of Happy Birthday. The normal one, the New Orleans one, and the Gospel one.
It was worth the money.

In a small intimate setting, we were delighted to have Mister Gregory prepare, serve and describe several entrees which were delicious! We also had music performed by a solo guitarist. The room was eccentric and quirky which added to the ambiance. We highly recommend this! Come hungry.

shrimpie shrimp boil
for us the food was a bit disappointing. the advertisement showed an outdoor bbq and this was held in a very small hole in the wall. it was byob and the music was a single guitarist. he was good but not what we expected. it was pricey for what we got.
Operator response
The Shrimp Boil Cabaret is not an outside BBQ and we don't have photos of that or offer it. We are sorry this guest thought they were booking something different. All of our seating is indoors, out of the heat and humidity for your comfort.

Unique NOLA experience!
Very unique experience in NOLA. Gregory was very kind and entertaining. We enjoyed his local stories. The entertainment was fun! Not all of the food was to my liking but my husband loved it! Lots of shrimp and the dessert was very good. Overall a fun and interesting experience!

Second Time and Still Very Very Good.
Second time attending and wasn't disappointed. Mister Gregory, his boil and his staff were WONDERFUL. To be completely honest, the food and conversation with other guests made it difficult to enjoy the couple who sang as the entertainment.
