Seidel’s Mardi Gras

Catered our wedding after the previous owner jumped ship at the last minute. He really handled everything well and did a fantastic job on very short notice. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

The Cajun seafood sampler was really quite delicious. It’s a shame it gave me food poisoning.

Seidel’s Mardi Gras is probably one of the few Cajun themed restaurants you’ll find in NEPA. It’s actually the second time I’ve eaten here. The first time it was still Reichart’s Mardi Gras.
My first experience was neither great nor horrible, just OK. Since I found myself in Danville and the restaurant looked like it changed ownership, I thought I would go to see if anything changed.
The food was much better than I remember from my last visit. My wife got a paella special ($ 22.99) which was quite large with a lot of mussels, some chicken and some clams. It was very good.
I got a Cajun dish called Mardi Gras Shrimp and Crawfish. ($ 19.99). It also had Andouille sausage and was covered with a Cajun cream sauce. I got it over rice, but in hindsight, it might have been better over pasta. It was delicious none the less and very filling with lots of seafood.
As an app we got crawfish stuffed mushrooms ($ 7.99) which were a nice change from the standard crab stuffed mushrooms.
Overall, I have to say the portions weren’t bad and the food was really good. For the two of us, an app, 2 soups, 2 salads (1 glass of wine with 2 club sodas) and two satisfying entrées, the $ 70 tab seemed fair.
I have to admit, much like some other reviews, that there is something funky with the water, even the club soda (which I’m sure was watered down a bit) seemed off. But they didn’t charge for refills, which is always nice.
I would not go out of my way or travel specifically to Danville for Seidel’s Mardi Gras, but I wouldn’t drive right by if I was in the area again.

We enjoy Mardi Gras weekly usually. We find they serve the best seafood locally. Service is sometimes slower depending on the crowd but the food has always been good. The staff friendly and attentive. The only down side is the water is awful. I have actually carried in my own bottled water. I wish they would fix this issue. If they did it would be our favorite local place.
