Shrimp Boil Cabaret -Save our Fishery with Dinner and a Show

Overview

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. We visit 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.

Not sure if the restaurant is still open but I would take any opportunity to attend any of Mister Gregory's dining experiences. He has such a respect of his craft that any of the food he makes comes out delicious! I had the pleasure of having a few meals there and everything was to die for! If you are in NOLA during his experiences take him up on his offer of a meal and dine away with new friends!

I’m a local and have been to this book several times over the last year- I always take out of town visitors, and sometimes even go just for fun with friends. The setting is unlike anything else in the city, it has a speakeasy vibe and it’s location couldn’t be better or more original. Gregory is an excellent host, talks about the shrimp, how he gets it, how he cooks it. There’s serval layers to the meal- a rotating appetizer (I’ve had several different things from “Cajun sundaes” - crab topped potato salad- to most recently some delicious grilled redfish) then of course the boil, with all the fixins. There’s always a few side dishes/salads as well! Aside from this it’s also good to know that it’s a communal eating arrangement. You might be sitting next to, and sharing shrimp piles with strangers, but that’s how we do it in New Orleans! There’s also live entertainment, most times it’s the local drag legend Dede Onassis, who sings live in the room. Again, a truly unique experience! I highly recommend this for locals and tourists alike, you won’t find anything else like it!

I have done this a couple time and every time is fantastic. The staff, atmosphere and food are all top notch!! It’s set up so you get to meet other people enjoying the experience. You get some history of New Orleans as well as the history of the shrimp boils. There is usually wonderful entertainment for while we are eating. And the food...omg it’s Soooooo Goooood!
