Mama Jane Seafood & Creole Kitchen

If you’re in the Sylvan Hills area looking for quick, reasonably priced seafood, Mama Jane is all that drenched in Cajun and Creole spices. This small, unassuming establishment sits at the end of a shopping plaza. But inside, bright yellow walls and a New Orleans brass band cheerily blaring from the TV draw you to the order counter. Most plates are under $25, including their boiled shrimp, crawfish, or snow crab, which are served piping hot and heavily seasoned in a plastic bag. It’s mainly to-go ordering, so if you’re not up for cracking crabs while driving, wait until you get home or just order the tasty shrimp po’boys and crispy boudin balls.
