For twenty-five years, Red Fish Grill has celebrated the fresh, seasonal bounty of local farmers and Gulf fishers. We stand apart for our wide variety of fresh Gulf fish, expertly grilled to perfection on our signature wood-burning grill.

Our vibrant, polished-casual seafood restaurant, owned and operated by Ralph Brennan, anchors the first block of Bourbon Street and delivers innovative twists on New Orleans Gulf seafood specialties like BBQ Oysters, Hickory Grilled Redfish, Alligator Sausage & Seafood Gumbo, and Double Chocolate Bread Pudding.

Red Fish Grill's lively decor, expansive bar, and welcoming vibe beckon Bourbon Street revelers and serious diners alike in search of gracious hospitality and a commitment to inspired, locally sourced seafood.

    My husband won’t go anywhere else for red fish! I had the LA Cobb salad with shrimp and crab and it was the perfect light supper. Service was great and nice ambience, but it is a little noisy. I highly recommend Red Fish Grill!

    This is a good visitor/tourist venue. It is friendly , the bar pours a good drink, and the service is good. Tonight I wanted a quiet, not elegant, but refined dining experience. Redfish Grill is not that, but it has value and the food was good.

    The food was good, however the noise level was so incredibly loud we were having to yell at each other at our own table of 4 to be heard. We will not return. Too many other great options with nice ambience and great food.

    There was a spice in the gumbo that was so off putting I could not eat it, or was it burned? I am not sure, but it was awful. It’s the Redfish Grill!!!!! Why don’t u just have some grilled fish options?????

    We came here for our anniversary. Everyone on staff knew and made us feel special, which is not a touch of service you get everywhere. The redfish was fantastic and the fries green tomatoes may be the best anywhere! Overall great experience.
