L2 shrimp crab musses
Aurelia A.

I used to come to this place on a weekly basis. I would order the L1 shrimp,mussell's, and clams however over time the food started being overcooked the mussel shells would come empty you would have to search for them in the bag and there were times the clams would be completely shut so I stopped going ..I decided to return inly to be reminded why I stopped coming shrimp stuck to shell (overcooked) the portion size has decreased tremendously but the price increased...Our waiter took our order brought our food and then disappeared. The inside is somewhat clean and the ambiance is just mediocre..The poboy was terrible no seasoning and all you tasted was bread..Yea we have to find another place when I want a boiling bag..

Seafood Combo 3 plus Cajun fries

For food places I'm mostly religious to I forget to write reviews for them. With Houston saturated with seafood joints and Asian Cajun flavors and also trendy places it's hard to pinpoint where to go. I'm not in this area often so it's hard to visit this place but, it's the best seafood with Asian Cajun flavors you can get that is (key word) consistent. Also my partner says she's been coming here for years with her family. It was very busy the night we came in, our fries came out cold, but our waitress rectified it immediately with no issues and although she was swamped with bigger tables she came to us and still helped us out of course we also were patient and understanding. The ambiance is how it usually is I love that the ac is cold so I'm not sweating eating my spicy boiled seafood. The flavors and sauce is very nice and in depth and some thing I enjoy is a thick sauce at that.

I was in town for work and knew I needed to get some crawfish. I popped in this place as it was near the airport. I was seated right away and my server was quick to take my order. He checked on me frequently to make sure I had everything I needed. I ordered 2 lbs of crawfish with the captain's sauce and spicy level. Absolutely amazing! So good, I ordered 3 more lbs. I was a little worried about the spice level as this can lead to rumbly tummies but not here! My entire GI system thanks you! Will be back again!

With butter and flavor

I was torn between a 3 and 4 star on this visit. This was my second visit to Captain Crawfish. My first visit consisted of a po boy, with appetizers of dumplings which were very tasty and the fried calamari. Both were very good. For my second visit I tried something different and I went with the Seafood bag with 1lb crab, and 1 lb shrimp, and crawfish, one potato and one corn with medium heat and Louisiana Cajun flavor. First off, medium heat was no joke, my mouth was burning, and I'm not too certain if I didn't get the hot. Second, the flavor was hot, but flavorless. It literally was water and cajan seasoning no flavor at all. Okay, maybe I chose the wrong flavor, because those at my table had chose flavors like garlic butter and other things that all had butter and it was delicious 4 star. Yes they let me try theirs. Other than that, the shrimp were huge, nice sized crawfish, and a good size cluster of crab legs. Both of the appetizers of boudin balls and the fried calamari were both on point. Now when it comes to the drinks, let's just say you definitely get your money's worth. There is no holding back on the alcohol or watered down drinks at this establishment. The drinks are tasty but be warned with just a few sips in, you will feel it. The service was prompt and friendly while the atmosphere is casual and fun. This place is popular and will fill up quick, so get there early during peak hours.

The boiled shrimp is the best I've ever had. And they are the easier to peel. The spice level is on point

Crawfish was real dirty. Did not seem to have been purged. $10 a pound not worth it.

I heard about this place on social media and my dad and I had to t try it out. It is in a parking…read morelot along with 4 to 5 other food trucks. There were about 12-14 picnic style tables to sit and eat at. We went on a Sunday around 3pm and the line was long when we arrived. The line did move at a decent pace. Good music was playing in the background. The crawfish were $9.99 a pound. We ordered 3 lbs. of crawfish, four potatoes, one egg, and one corn. The total was $37 dollars and some change. We received a buzzer and were told it would be a 10min wait. They don't sell drinks, so we walked next door to the convenience store as we waited. Some people even brought their own coolers with drinks. The food came within the time promised. The food was fresh and hot. They put all the sides at the bottom of the bag and then poured the seasoned crawfish on top. The sides were not boiled in seasoned water, but in plain water. The potatoes, egg, and corn had none of the seasoning flavor we chose. We chose the medium spice Kasian style seasoning flavor and it was very good with just enough spice. The crawfish were juicy. One downfall and the reason for the one star deduction, was they forget to give me the one corn we paid for. When I informed them they gave me a hard time. They told me to look at the bottom of the bag, which I did before approaching the counter and it wasn't there. Then they asked me what name did I place the order under to confirm if I actually paid for the corn. They finally decided to give me the corn in a single plastic bag. I didn't appreciate the hesitation and none friendly demeanor after I informed them of their error. Aside from that, people love this food truck. The line continued to grow as we sat and ate. The other food trucks didn't get much business while we were there. There was one food truck selling lemonade and patrons were going there to get drinks for their crawfish. I would recommend trying this place if you want some well seasoned crawfish.

Crawfish was good and tasted very fresh! Medium was good spice level. I got 2pounds with corn…read morepotato and eggs for like $25 which was more than enough and very worth it. Plenty of outdoor tables with lots of seating.

I've been here twice, and to be completely honest, I didn't really like it the 1st time around. Now…read morethe second time completely changed my opinion of this place! My husband loves this location and has been coming here for quite some time. He will forever get the same items lol Here is our order: *Every Dang Thang Pasta + mushrooms - my husband go-to meal, this pasta is so flavorful and delicious. They do give you a hefty amount and don't skimp out on the meats. 10/10 *Fish Basket - this will now on be my go-to order, i have never had a fish basket taste this good! The fish was so flaky and juicy. It was honestly the best fried fish Ive had in my entire life 100/10 *Mardi Gras Potato - this was really good, it taste just like the every thang pasta, the only downside of this dish was that it came out a bit cold so 8/10 *Shrimp Po-Boy - my husband's friend ordered this and he said it was really good and he really enjoyed it 10/10 *Peach Cobbler - another one of my husbands go-tos, im not the biggest fan of hot fruit but this was really really good and it pairs nicely with the vanilla ice cream 10/10 *Lemon Drop Martinis - these were soooooo good, I've been to so many restaurants where they don't make it right, but here??? They made it with love. It was very much chefs kiss 1000/10 I will say the ambience of this place is a bit loud. They have a life person playing the saxophone, which is nice, but very very loud. Overall: we will be back! 10/10

Reading cafe Rian mouth watering menu would make you hungry!!!!…read more My friends and I drove across the world to try this Sunday ladies lunch date. Friendly service, clean appearance, smells so amazing from the door, sounds of live music fills your soul. This place sets a family, fun, and amazing food tones in the best way. This could easily be a weekly spot for me if it was much closer to my area. My crawfish and shrimp étouffée was amazing. I also took my son a dish home a crawfish sausage pasta, which had the choice of two or three meats. He loved it a lot and down it quickly. My son didn't even heat it up, and I know it was room temp at best. Since we sat there and talked for about 60 minutes and it took 40 to make it back home. It is JUST THAT GOOD, it's AMAZING. I LOOK FORWARD to returning. Reading Rian menu my mouth begin to water!!!! I can't wait to try the boudin, and Cajun baked potato, and loaded boudin. And more
