This is fun to go order. I went with the crab cakes. I mean it's in the name and it didn't disappoint. I was going to go to colossal crab but I wasn't starving so it was recommended by server that I go with the two smaller ones that pack the punch and she wasn't wrong so A1 for service. I received the two crab cakes within 15 minutes of ordering and when I say they all full of flavor they definitely are. They have red and yellow bell peppers inside which gives a little bit of sweetness and the sauce on top adds the overall Melody of flavors. As far as crab cakes go in the city, this is one of the best in the prices right? It was sub $15 And very feeling

We ordered via DoorDash and we were NOT disappointed! Our first time here in New Orleans and we chose this place because of the great reviews. We ordered on DoorDash (to the Hyatt House) and the food arrived hot and fresh! So. Much. Flavor! We ordered the Seafood Pasta, Loaded Potato and the Blackened Salmon - all top notch choices. The portions were large. Packed with flavor. I'll be talking about their food to everyone back home in Cali.

Food was amazing! PeeWee's has been saved in my Bucket List for our trip to NOLA. We finally made it and were not disappointed. Darnika explained all the dishes and we were able to make great choices. Can't wait for our next trip to New Orleans. My only regret was they didn't have sweet tea and only serve Pepsi products. But not a deal breaker!

Great New Orleans food. Our waitress Dornika was friendly and helpful. Food a little pricey but worth it.

Let me tell you Peewee's, has been consistent with their delicious po'boys. As someone who doesn't always travel into the city, coming here has always been worth it. The restaurant itself is clean and not overstimulating which is very important to me. The service is quick & friendly. I always feel at home by the employees and the location is right off the highway. I can grab my food and get right back home with no concerns of traffic.

Peewee's is AMAZING! The menu is almost always overwhelming because there are sooo many options to choose from. We waited maybe 20 minutes if that which was a huge surprise since we were into for the Essence Festival. They were busy though so once we were seated it took a while for someone to come take our order. However, our server was very nice and suggested some great items. She let us know about all of the specials. The restaurant is much bigger than I thought it would be. Peewee's had the BEST crab cake I have ever had in my life! The deviled eggs were good, I was not sure at first about the crab cake ball on top but it added so much flavor. I had a seafood boil as well that was their summer special. I LOVED the sauce but it may be a bit much for someone who doesn't like spice (we weren't told that it had a kick. It was like a sweet and spicy sauce very flavorful and so good! My friends had stuffed potatoes and they really enjoyed their food. Everything was 10/10 and I can't wait to go back!

Wowzer!!! Uber driver recommended the place when dropped myself and friend off at a nearby hotel . I ordered via Uber eats once we got hungry and I tell you was the absolute best tasting food ! I had the seafood pasta and my friend ordered the seafood platter ! Both enjoyed our meals tremendously ! Fried fish was lightly coated and fried the pasta was tender the crab cake was amazing and I can't stand to eat Crabcakes ! Definitely a must visit and try if in the area!

I ordered delivery through Uber Eats. The food was decent. It was plentiful as in you got a fair share for the price. It was seasoned. I wasn't a huge fan of the crawfish loaded fries. This just wasn't a good idea for delivery. The toppings should've been separated. The fish and shrimp were fried good and the pasta that came with it was also pretty good. Even the potato salad was even decent.
