Chips and bean dip was complimentary.
Mike M.

While I enjoy visiting any BB's , I attended this restaurant twice recently. Located just off of Hwy 249, it's easy to get to and has plenty of parking spaces. They have a large outdoor and covered dining area along with the interior dining area that also has a full bar. I ordered Bedtime in the Bayou which is their fried shrimp po boy that comes with fries for $15. The waitress brought us a complimentary appetizer of chips and bean dip that was very good tasting and something not on the menu. My po boy was also delicious on tasty bread with fried shrimp and was dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo. The fries were good too and I would order this meal again (4). Another trip was to try their Maw Maw's gumbo with chicken and sausage. A bowl of it is $15 and it comes with some bread and crackers. This too was a very good tasting meal. The roux was rich in flavor and there was plenty of chicken, sausage and rice in the bowl. Again another enjoyable meal (4). In both visits the table service was prompt and friendly. Good Cajun food and a nice atmosphere are some of the reasons why I will be returning to this BB's!

My absolute complements to the chef....the seasonings were perfect-no "dead" recooked crawfish! I wanted to call the chef out and give him a standing ovation-but I ate too much! Our waitress was wonderful- I think her name was Kat, such a sweetie! Want to give her a shout out! She even took care of our pooch with a bowl of water! We will be back' Lately places have forgotten haw to cook crawfish with seasonings and flavor! Impeccable!

First time here and our server was Akieyra. I followed her recommendation for the boil flavors and WOW! I loved it absolutely delicious. The spicy and sweet was an amazing combination. I could not get enough of the corn. Very rich in flavors. Would come back again.

Went to this place for the first time and I liked it. We went to water creature wednesdays and got he soft crab. Very impressive, kinda wanted more seasoning but it still hit. Had the oyster, and that was probably the only thing that was mid. The service was awesome and very friendly. Erin and Jerrica helped us with everything we needed and made the experience even better. I want to go back for more soft shell crab. Lol.... They have a dip and chips that is fiiiire. The bean dip, is crazy good. I shouldve got a bowl to go.

Redfish platter with small piece of bread and green beans

The shrimp and grits were outstanding. Loved the ingredients mixed in with the shrimp and grits which gave it amazing flavor. They have Crystal as well as Tabasco which really kicked the meal up a notch. We received our saladr and dinner almost at exactly the same time so it was a bit overwhelming and would have preferred to have had the items spread out a little more rather than everything at once and waiting for everything to arrive at one time. Our wait staff were very friendly and nice. super personable and could speak both Spanish and English. The atmosphere is a blend of Texas and New Orleans just like the name but it does lean on New Orleans Louisiana for atmosphere. There are regional drinks found in Louisiana that can also be found here. My spouse found that her Margarita was a little too sweet but not a real big problem. Prices were just a little high and portions were just a little small. See Photos.

I wouldn't recommend Ordering takeout. I feel like it wasn't treated as important as dining inside

Came her for a Saturday lunch with my husband. I had been to another location before and really loved their gumbo. We tried their boudin balls, a fried fish platter, and gumbo. Of course we also had to have a frozen beverage as well... Never pass up a frozen beverage... Anyway- the gumbo was not quite as good as I remembered, but everything else was super yummy and filling. I really loved their boudin balls- always a great starter. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. Overall a great Saturday lunch!

Patio chair (protruding metal piece)
Michelle O.

We got seated a little before 5pm on Easter. We looked around and didn't see any of the complimentary chips until 20 to 40 minutes after sitting down. The table near us (arrived around the same time) received two and another table that got seated after we received the our food received one. Every time we asked for a status update, the staff said they didn't see any. After a while, someone came by to explain how they've run out of chips. They were running a $35 for 5 lbs. of crawfish promotion, and it came out at 5:30pm. I ordered the super greens salad with the sauce on the side, which had to be remade because the waitress saw the sauce had been added. We asked for the salad order to be canceled, and the waitress said it depends on if they've made it already. A waiter came by to drop the salad off at 5:51pm. It did taste good and didn't have any wilted pieces. The salt from the blue cheese, sweetness from the minced candied pecans, and tartness of the dressing and sliced grape tomatoes melded well with the curly greens. There seems to be a bit of disconnect between what the kitchen has ready and when staff should come by to pick food up. Th crawfish were mostly medium sized with a few larger ones. The Bayou flavor feels powdery on the hands and light on the tongue. The rice is 50 cents a cup and was kind of hard, which was kind of understandable as it's usually for soaking in gumbo. One of the metal parts of the outdoor patio chairs was kind of sticking out, so it snagged on my pants. Sitting in the patio was kind of chilly. It was busy but only 2-3 small groups were waiting at a time. We had to retrieve a roll of napkins for our table when food finally arrived. When we asked for a fork, it arrived quickly in its paper bag. Upon opening it, it had caked on stringy remnants. The staff were friendly when you had their attention yet were inattentive while away from the table and only seemed to pay attention to their tables.

That's free, I'm not sure at all locations. It's salsa/bean/cheese dip idk.

Just before closing, we had the place to ourselves and got to shoot the S with the owner who gave us its very cool history. 38 years in, and a few miles on his ledger, Marty still cranks out some fabulous food! The place was like walking into the 50's, with the old school metal tables and ample linoleum. I LOVE Louisiana cooking, and it couldn't have been more authentic. The only problem I had with my shrimp gumbo is the bowl was too small (actually a filling portion) and loaded with succulent, tender shrimp. Yummmmm! The cornbread was sublime and dipping it in the gumbo was killer! John had a Po Boy and said it was heavenly. The fries were obviously fresh cut and perfect. We finished with the bread pudding as we are both connoisseurs, and boy did it not disappoint. Thank You for yet another 5 star experience and a return visit will be on the horizon! Cheers, JimG

The shrimp and grits were unique and unlike any I've had before.

I will say that there is some confusion on where to go for ordering in vs picking up ordered food and the noise level was quite high. The employees were very friendly and helpful however and made sure we were helped in as timely a manner as was possible. A nice place to get some fried seafood.

Nut allergy friendly: Pretty much no issues here!…read more Parking: There's some in the strip mall but definitely less than at the Bellaire location. Time to Appetizers: 20 Minutes Time to Crawfish: 25 Minutes It's a solid branch from the main location in Bellaire, but they're missing some things. For example, the Bellaire location has the new Viet-Cajun flavor of sauce that hasn't debuted here yet (though you can DIY a mix). (Review is for July 2026 if they've updated since then) We got here at 6:05PM and got seated with no issues. Ordered the following: Combo #1 with extra corn and potatoes (3.5/5): Crawfish isn't in season, so don't be surprised at my low rating. It's still great and flavorful all around. Garlic Noodles with Shrimp (4/5): Still incredibly rich and buttery and garlicy and great for a palate cleanser. I'd skip the shrimp; you get eight pieces for $10 extra and that's not really worth it. Crawfish Beignets (4.5/5): Still a fantastic appetizer. Comes out hot, crispy, buttery, and is a really indulgence. 1 lb. Little Neck Clams (4.5/5): I liked these more than the crawfish tbh. It really does depend on what's in season. Very easy to eat, very flavorful. Service was generally good but our server seemed slammed; it took a long time to get water refills and to place extra orders (we got a second order of beignets to-go). Market price for crawfish is high and they're not in season, so don't be afraid to ask. The Combo #1 in July 2026 was $22. Overall, I'll probably be back during crawfish season especially because it's more convenient for me than the Bellaire location, but the Bellaire location has it beat for general atmosphere after the remodeling and much better options for mixes there.

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16.

I am a huge Crawfish Cafe fan in general, but this was my first time visiting this location. It's a very nice location in what looks to be a newer shopping center. There's tons of parking available. I can't remember exactly what day we came, but it was pretty busy at lunch time. Luckily we were able to be seated right away at a booth. Service was great from start to finish. Our main goal eating here that day was to convince our out of state friend how great crawfish is. Her one experience before wasn't great but I knew coming to Crawfish Cafe would change her mind. We started off with a few of my favorite appetizers. First off was some a sampler of oyster. I'm more of a chargrilled oyster fan and that was my favorite of the bunch even though they were all good. I just gotta have calamari anywhere I go. They do it really well here and add some Cajun flair to theirs. We also shared some of the wings. They do more of a dry Cajun rub and it is very good. Two of us went with boil combos. I like the Combo 1 which comes with 1 pound of crawfish, 1/2 a pound of shrimp, 1 corn and 1 potato. It's the right amount of food for me since I am a slow peeler. I also added a sausage link. My go to for sauces is the signature house blend which is a combination of their garlic butter and kickin' Cajun. It always hits the spot. The day we came, the crawfish were big and easy to peel. The sauce was on point and it had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Our out of town guest had the etouffee and loved it, but also loved some of our boiled crawfish as well. I think we did a solid job of converting a once crawfish hater thanks to Crawfish Cafe. This location was great and I would happily come back next time I am in the area.
