    Here's the Menu.... The Best place to eat in Giddings TX. I absolutely love the fried catfish, pasta and salads here

    First off I think the changed the name to Cajun Cravin's. The place was amazing. We had: frog legs, oysters, catfish, shrimp, hush puppies, corn, potatoes, fries, alligator. Everything was great. Prices were excellent. Service was friendly. Will be here every single time we come in town.

    What a nice place. Got to sit out on the deck and drink your own beer and eat crawfish. The crawfish are real good, nice spice. The wife says mine are to hot to eat. So this worked well for her. They did have a nice spice to them We also split the fried shrimp. Nice light batter that doesn't still from the flavor of the shrimp. The only drawback was the service. Extremely slow but that is kind of what you want when you get out of the rat race of the big city. Kinda nice to slow down and enjoy

    Authentic Cajun Food! An assuming building that packs a punch for Cajun food lovers. We were traveling from Dallas back home to Port Aransas and looked for something to eat for dinner. We read the reviews on Yelp and decided to give it a try. My husband got the combination plate with crawfish and shrimp and fried okra and corn on the cob. It was a bountiful feast and the remoulade sauce was amazing. I got the fried shrimp basket and was easily able to substitute fries for any of the veggies and I too chose the corn on the cob. The corn had Cajun seasoning on it and it was juicy and buttery. The okra seemed to be garden fresh. And the shrimp were cooked well and wonderful. They also do catering and orders for large parties. Don't miss this gem in Giddings, Texas!

    We stopped into Annie's by chance on our way to Austin from Houston in the middle of a big rainstorm- and we are so glad we did!! The crawfish étouffée was perfection on a plate! The fried shrimp basket was crispy and delicious! Our starters of fried pickles and spicy onion rings were ridiculously tasty! We will definitely be back out here- probably before our next trip to Houston! The simple ambience, small space and super friendly, polite service were added bonuses to the great food :)

    Stopped on the way back from Austin. The place is a small capacity hole in the wall, but the food was great. The fried shrimp were freshly prepared and the side dishes were great. This is a local place but clearly gets some traffic off of 290. Service is a bit slower but that fits with the "you order, we cook it' vibe. Take out is also available.

    AMAZING buffalo shrimp!

    Fabulous buffalo shrimp!!! I was completely surprised when they brought the plate out and you get two sauces with it! Will visit again for sure!

    Crawfish étouffée over catfish and a bed of rice. Very good. So filling!
    Trish F.

    They were out of gumbo, but it was late in the day. The gals who took our order were sweet. Very friendly. The food. The food was excellent. I had the crawfish étouffée over catfish. Very filling, and scrumptious. Hubby had shrimp étouffée. He scraped every bit he possibly could. I'm surprised he didn't lick the plate. The kids had Mac and cheese with corn and corn dogs with corn. My 5 yr old ate all of her Mac and cheese and corn. This place could rival any big city restaurant! Why did I give it 4 stars? Because when I pulled up, I assuming it was the chef, was smoking. Now granted you can see 3 sides of the building when you pull up, so there really wasn't another place to go. But there was 1 other pair of customers there. It was a slow night. It's just my personal preference, which isn't worth much. Would I come back? Absolutely! If you're in the mood for some amazing Cajun food, I highly recommend this place!

    Delish!

We started with the French Fried Onions, a bit too greasy for me but tasty. It is served with ranch dressing. I do not like ranch dressing so I asked for a side of BBQ sauce. We ordered the Prime Rib, which was delicious, came with a side and one trip to the salad bar. The salad bar is well stocked and fresh. I will also state the service was very nice. I have two complaints and they are connected. Earlier I stated that I asked for a side of BBQ sauce since I do not like ranch dressing. That was provided however no mention that it was at an additional charge. All you have to be upfront and say there is an additional charge for your request. I can then decide if I want that item and what the charge is. Since neither were provided, I was surprised to see it on my bill. I did not question the charge, it was just deleted from the tip. I will probably return however this is a teaching moment, if you are going to charge extra for a client's request, tell them you are and what the charge is. If not for this issue, my rating would have been higher.

The environment inside the restaurant was warm and welcoming. There was a stand outside Georgie's restaurant taking drink orders to go. Other than downtown Austin, I was not aware where you could drink adult beverages outside a restaurant or bar. We ordered a crab cake, Georgie's margarita and a frozen margarita. The drinks were refreshing after being in the sun for a bit. The crab cake was good but could have used a little less mayonnaise.

We started with the George Margarita and the specialty spritzer with gin, both were tasty and not too sweet. In addition to the ceviche, oysters and crab claws. No oyster options, they had Texas east coast farmed which were ok, not too large or small with a sweetness. The ceviche was missing something so I added salt and that did the trick but the accompanying chips were . They had no flavor and a stale consistency ‍ maybe that was the intent. The crab claws were a little fishy and had way too much broth but overall weren't bad, maybe 3/5. For entrees I decided to go smash burger and fried shrimp/oyster basket. Smash burger was well prepared, I swapped fries with broccolini. The fried seafood was a miss. The batter was similar to an unseasoned tempura and the hush puppies were very doughy, that dish is a pass. I'd return but will stick with appetizers or the burger but if I'm craving seafood there definitely are better options even if that means going outside of Georgetown.
