We were in town for the weekend and found this place was open on Mondays - a ton of restaurants in Monroe are closed Sunday and/or Monday, so it was great to see them open (they are actually closed Tues/Wed). My husband said they may have been the best oysters he's ever had and he's tried them all over the country. I had the shrimp tacos and my son had the blackened fish tacos - portions were very good and he said his was great. Blackened seasoning wasn't overly salty. Service was great. Super laid back, casual atmosphere. We'd definitely go back if we are in town again. read more

I just saw a post where the owner tried to shame a customer for not tipping. Not tipping isn't great but it's completely optional so to see a restaurant shame customers like that and tell customers that they are responsible for other peoples rent, medical bills etc when we all have those bills as well...that's not ok. I will not be back in that kind of environment esp not when I am on a trip and trying to find time to enjoy myself read more

Such a great little Cajun spot outside of Monroe! The seafood-loaded baked potato was absolutely delicious, and the boudin eggrolls are a must. Yummy, authentic Cajun comfort food and definitely worth the stop! read more

I had heard about this place red fish étouffée. So I was excited to try it out unfortunately they were out of it when I got there. So I started with a water that didn't have a great taste to it. I ordered the raw oysters as an appetizer. They were OK, but I felt like something was off a little bit. For my meal, I decided to go with the fillet they came with a salad with three shrimps on it and a seafood potato. I noticed the seafood potato was out first and just sat there for about 15 minutes, but the time I got to it, it was a little bit cold. Not many options of dressing it did come with three shrimp on top. Those shrimp were probably the best part of my deal. The steak came cooked right I was not a fan of the sauce underneath it and the flavor was a little too peppery for me. I am usually a salt and pepper guy, but this was a bit much with the Pepper. So overall, the food was just OK until I left and get back to my hotel where I got sick. If I had to guess I would say it was the oysters I knew something was off. I will say the waitress was extremely nice read more

Had the best meal and service today at lunch! Kendhl was very sweet and attentive and our crawfish was 10/10! Best flavor, peeled easily, perfect texture, came out fast and HOT! Our seafood potato was excellent. A Clawdaddy's favorite. Burgers and chargrilled oysters are great too!! We eat here often. read more

Food & service were both better than average. The mandatory 4% credit card charge was typical capitalism at work. However, the $.50 charge for tap water in a paper cup was 100% chickenshit!!!! A $78 bill and you're charging me $.50 for faucet water in a paper cup. Cheap & Chickenshit!!!!!!I don't know what else to say about it. read more

Great Seafood, But Service Needs Work I've been to this seafood spot a few times, and the food is always amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and well worth the money. The crab legs and shrimp are some of the best I've had in a long time, and the portions are generous. That said, the service during my last visit was really disappointing. Our server, Ashley, forgot our food more than once and seemed irritated whenever we asked for help or updates. Everyone can have an off day, but the attitude and lack of attention really took away from what should've been a great dining experience. I'd still recommend this place for the food alone, but I really hope management takes a closer look at improving customer service. With better staff attitudes, this would easily be a five-star restaurant. read more

I visit this establishment probably twice a week. When it's on, it's amazing- in every way. When it's off, it's a complete train wreck in every way. Most of the time it's a 50/50 shot but it's so good when it's on, I'll take a bad one every now and again. Twice this week I have called before leaving the house before going over there due to weather. Both times the people on the phone have told me they were open and ready for business until 10:00 pm. Made the drive over the first time- drive through only. Called the second time and specifically asked about drive through or full sit down food, only to get there and them be closed. I don't know if it's an answering service because the accent is way off. Twice drove home disappointed this week. read more

Food is mediocre at best. Would not recommend this place to anyone. It's also a very tip-hungry establishment. read more

Crawfish and oysters if that's what you are wanting but there are also great options like burgers, po-boys, fish tacos, and steaks for folks like me that can't eat shellfish. There's space around the bar to sit and watch the game or in the dining area for date night. There's also a back patio area with live music from local musicians which can make for a fun night of food plus good music--a Louisiana standard. read more

Our server was the best. We ordered the broiled oysters which were good and the 3 piece catfish which was good. Nice atmosphere.

Overcooked Crab legs, and when you're paying so much it's disappointing to get a nearly inedible product. There are many better options in town that are worth supporting. read more

We ordered a dozen fresh oysters and the boudin eggrolls, both were fantastic! Oysters were very fresh. Highly recommend trying the eggrolls if you haven't. Hayden was our server and he was amazing, very attentive and outgoing. There's so much more we want to try on the menu, we will definitely be back! read more

The best food we've had in MWM. Well worth the drive from the downtown area! We had the boudin egg rolls appetizer. Crispy and perfect serving for two. I had the shrimp and Tasso pasta and my husband had the blackened redfish étouffée. Both were large servings are packed with flavor. Our server was kind and prompt. We will definitely be back! Can't wait to go back and try the other menu items, especially the potato. Casual atmosphere and very clean. read more

Ordered the 3 pounds of boiled crawfish. Lots of heads with NO TAILS and plenty of broken off legs and pincers in the bucket. Crawfish were very small and were not even HOT from boiling. NO flavor and very dirty. The absolute worst place to eat crawfish. read more

Very good PHO! Service is also top notch. Atmosphere is spartan, but if you go for PHO who cares with good PHO! read more

Crawfish were terrible. Sucked complete ass. Crawfish were dirty, like they were never purged. Extremely salty, over cooked and barely any butter by the way they peeled. And 11 dead in my 6 pound batch. 0/10 would never recommend read more

Call daddy's always has great food. Though oyster Rockefeller or the I can't make up my mind. Platter are outstanding if you like oysters. Don't let this place fool you because it looks like a convenience store. The food is great and the staff is always on point read more

Our server was very sweet and attentive and the oysters were ok, but that's where the compliments ends. Prices are nothing short of highway robbery. However, I wanted seafood so bad that I was willing to give it a chance. The boiled and fried shrimp were bland and the dipping butter was disgusting and I love butter! The hostess were not the friendliest and the atmosphere was not the most pleasant, not bad. read more

Everything here is terrible. Foods terrible, service terrible, management terrible, dirty.

It is such a warm, loving, and a family oriented environment. Most definitely a kid friendly setting. The employees are top notch at their attentiveness. The food is always hot, fresh, and mouth watering delicious as it is seasoned to perfection and cooked to order. The drink menus are full of tasty alcoholic and nonalcoholic specialties that you will absolutely love. If you haven't been, you are in for a truly fantastic experience. read more

The Jacked Oysters were a Sailor's dream, and the waitresses were charming and helpful. An air of politeness from everyone I came across, like being at your family reunion. Even at the FR, you meet someone you do not know. Start the conversation. To embrace the atmosphere, you really had to be there. I enjoyed every connection with this business. read more

Amazing food and phenomenal service (thank you Sky!) We ordered raw oysters, the shrimp boil and the loaded seafood potatoes and everything was beyond expected. The atmosphere is perfect too. read more

Great food all around, even outside of crawfish season. The crawfish are consistently good, but some days are better than others. The grilled oysters are so good that I've gotten them nearly every time I've been. Overall, the place is very lively and the owner is fun; he's given out free appetizers to guests to try them out, and he's very personable both online and in person. If you're not splurging on seafood, the menu has a lot to offer. Very little, if anything, to be unhappy about. read more

I ate at Clawdaddy for the first time. One the menu, it showed three pieces of fish and fried for approximately $15. I have been to numerous restaurants that offer fish on the menu, which to me was a uniquely vague term that could mean just about anything swimming in water, so I asked the waitress if it was catfish and she said yes. We ordered the catfish but was served what appeared to be either swai or basa fish. Not the catfish we ordered. I saved a sample just in case any issues come up. Any restaurant offering "fish" on the menu should be questioned regarding the actual type of fish by name. read more

We ordered 2 salads to go. Got there at 4:25. They were not busy, hardly anyone there. Took almost an hour to get them. Tomatoes on it were old. I couldn't eat them. The shrimp on it were precooked ones you can buy frozen in the grocery store. The salad dressing was good. $36 for the 2 salads without a tip. I will never go back and order this again. read more

My son is deploying over seas in 9 days for a year and ALL he wanted was one last batch of crawfish to hold him over. Coming to Clawdaddy's was the BEST! He loved the crawfish and the perfect spice, the size was great (a few the meat was the size of shrimp!) He was happy, and I enjoyed feeding his craving. We also got oysters and they were SO good. Thank you Clawdaddy's for a memory that's got to hold me for a whole year. I totally forgot to get the name of our sweet waitress, but she was outstanding. read more

pretty much dogshit. absolutely scammed by the prices. Crawfish came out cold and were as small as I've ever seen them. So yeah.

Went here with a group of 9 with a reservation on a BUSY Friday night and we had a great time! Laurel was our server and she was seriously AMAZING! The place is pretty huge and they get the food out quickly. Crawfish were small (we know it's early) but well seasoned and super clean!! Most of the table got the sampler platter and I'd say it was a great pick even if it is on the expensive side ($49.95) the rest of the table got burgers and fried fish (it's cornmeal crusted but nicely seasoned!) I will say, even with some of the extra charges that come from running a restaurant these days (water is 50¢/cup, there's a non-cash adjustment, & we were a large party so 18% gratuity was already added) I can't wait to come back and try the Oysters Rockefeller and wings when they're back on the menu! read more

This is an amazing restaurant on Hwy 165 just north between Monroe and Sterlington. They pride themselves on the oysters and crawfish and the pride is earned! Only open for a little over a year, they are busy every night they're open. Items to try other than the oysters and crawfish: debris po-boy, smash burger, and the wings! You can't go wrong with anything you order. The staff is always on point and the owner, Luke is often hanging out greeting customers. They just recently started offering to-go containers of some great meals as well! read more

This was an unexpected surprise. It is a restaurant that looks like it is in a gas station, but this ain't no gas station food. Unbelievable Bloody Mary and chargrilled oysters. Fun atmosphere and the service was very good. This is not a tourist place, it is definitely a local's place. I now have a go to place when I go through Monroe. read more

Service was poor at best. Food was ok but portions were tiny and very over priced. Don't stop here, just keep on driving!

This was my first time in Louisiana and we were only passing through Monroe and wanted to stop somewhere local. We're so glad we stumbled across this place. We ordered the charbroiled oysters and the fish and shrimp basket and everything was cooked perfectly. It definitely seemed like a local hangout and was surprisingly busy for a Monday night. Will definitely stop again if we're ever passing through. Also our server, Brittney, was phenomenal. read more
