This was my first time trying this place. The food was soooo delicious! I had the special, 3lbs. of crawfish, potatoes and corn for 35.99. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was also very nice and calm. I could have stayed there and ate more and more because it was so relaxing. This will definitely be my go-to place from now on. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! read more

I was recommended to this place & I've never bought a seafood boil before so I was skeptical. The bartender & hostess was cool and took care of me while I was there. I got the headless shrimp, crab, potato, corn, and egg. I paid for 2 eggs but they only gave me 1. The flavor was good I'd eat here again. The drink was a perfect balance between sweet and strong! read more

Key lime pie was delicious. Catfish and sweet potato fries were good; however, the scallops were not. Service was really friendly and attentive. Restaurant is very roomy so conversation is easy. Parking is great because it's located in a strip mall. read more

I came here for a birthday celebration. Plenty parking and plenty seating. I ordered a strawberry lemon drop because I heard the drinks were strong. Disgusting. Sent it back and got a margarita and it was too sweet but I kept it. Ordered the boil with crawfish and shrimp. They give plenty corn potatoes and shrimp..like way tooo much! They should be embarrassed to sell those tiny crawfish though. They were not good. The boom sauce was good for dipping. They had music flowing. It was a cool spot. read more

Nice and friendly place to visit. Normally Calm and everyone is enjoying themselves. The bartenders and waiters and nice and everyone normally greets you and ask if you'd been helped.

Excellent flavor, add a lil lime squeeze and it's delicious. Few of my go-to places are LA crawfish and crawfish shack. Crafty Crab sits somewhere in between in terms of flavor and their (previously frozen) crawfish is delicious and I actually think it was the best out of the all those frozen crawfish I had this winter, lol I always crave crawfish when weather gets cold.... I asked for extra paprika/cajun powder and yes, if you like spicy it's worth it cuz U needed to add a lil bit more of heat to their my mouth on fire as I love spicy. Good spice, well balanced garlic butter & cajun spice. Very nice. If anything, I would ask it to be a lil less salty. It's not too bad for sure it's delicious as it is, but I always prefer low sodium diet so think I'd like it more if it was a bit less salty.... It comes with potatoes and corn, yum! Nonetheless, Excellent pick, I can't wait to try when liv crawfish is available, it's gonna be even better!!' read more

This is actually my 2nd time here. The first time was for my cousin's bday Aug 22, 2022. This time I came for dinner on 7/6/24. This review is based on both experiences at this restaurant. I will tell you that the Seafood is really good here. I'm a Seafood Snob, so I critique everything. They have a jukebox that you can play music. The two times that I've been there, they are always jamming. The customer service was on point once again! I ordered the headless Shrimp Medium Boom Spice and it was just right. The flavors and the taste was banging. My bf ordered the steamed Oysters mild boom and the Scallops mild boom. The Oysters were pretty good and the scallops were cooked just right. You can easily over cook scallops and they are ruined at that point. We ordered a few drinks and that starburst shot was hitting. It was a great night and great dinner. The place is pretty popular. My daughter frequents there and so does one of my long time friends. I have to get over here more often. The food isn't the only good thing this restaurant has going, but I love places that play music and show sports- that's how I bribed my bf to go there. Lol! read more

Upon pulling up, we would've thought it was a club, because it was jumping. Music was loud from the parking lot. After we entered the building, it was lower and there wasn't as many people as we expected with the full lot. Ambiance was great. Our server was Yasmin and she was so sweet. To drink, I ordered the $7 hurricane special and starburst candy shot. Idk who was working the bar, but the liquor was liquoring. 10/10. To eat, despite wanting 1/2 pound of shrimp, I order the pound of headless shrimp because that's the smallest portion they have. It was inconvenient. I also order the special that comes with headless shrimp & 2 snow crabs -- both the boom flavor and hot with a side of garlic butter. Everything was cooked to perfection. I didn't want to slap my momma after eating the dry rub. Garlic butter was giving butter, not garlic. Overall meal 9/10. I would come here again. read more

Will never visit this location again. All workers are uninterested and move at the pace of a snail and this was only for a carry out order, couldn't imagine sitting in! Did not have everything that I was supposed to and the food was subpar. So worried about the stupid robot that they mess up on simple things. read more

This place is amazing! it's my go to spot..I'm here 2-3 times per week..the food and drinks are great! But most importantly, the manager Sonia is amazing she takes personal interest in all her customer...The bartenders ar phenomenal Jason, Andrea and Gigi...Jason works my nerves but he is sooo attentive and knows all his clients...Andrea is a sweetheart she is so humble and caring...and GIgi is quiet but so sweet and humble,..I love them so MUCH read more

Just left this restaurant, drove by for several years and never stopped. My church group had a luncheon planned and I'm glad they did. Jason was our server for a party of 28, from start to finish we received wonderful service. The food was fresh and delicious especially the crab cakes. Our entire group enjoyed themselves, we will most definitely return in the near future. read more

Although you can't see everything I got in the seafood boil, it was really good. I don't like super spicy food so I ordered the house sauce, mild. Very good, the service was good the waiter was friendly and attentive. The ambiance was ok, a few crazy people in there but I was too busy enjoying my food with my daughter. We shared and we both were super satisfied and full. I spent about $68 not including tip. I chose the seafood boil with 3 clusters of crab, shrimp, corn, potatoes, boiled eggs and broccoli (wanted to try broccoli very good). Fried catfish, oysters and fries, very fresh and flavorful. Will go back, I heard this was the better location of all crafty crabs. read more

I'VE FINALLY FOUND MY NEW GO TO SPOT FOR CRAWFISH. Boom sauce was amazing. A lot of great flavor. Everybody around the table loved it. Fried catfish platter was perfectly fried. Fish was not dry or anything. Only reason I've taken off a couple stars is we ordered fried calamari and steamed oysters which are APPETIZERS. Which means they should come out BEFORE our main entrees. We waited about 40 minutes and got everything all at once. That made it very frustrating because we had no update from our waitress regarding the wait for our appetizers. The oysters and fried calamari came out room temp and not hot at all like they were sitting waiting for the main entrees. About 1/3 of our order of calamari was all stuck together in a clump. Other than that the flavor of everything was 5/5. read more

We have been here twice and both times the food was delicious. Don't be fooled by the tired strip mall, the interior is really nice and upscale. They have hanging sea creatures, plush booths and big screen tvs. The first time we went was near the grand opening. We ordered he seafood boil special (not available anymore) which gave us a mix of shrimp, clams, mussels and potatoes and corn. The boom sauce is pretty spicy, but everything was fresh. The second time we came, was with my 3 kids and my in-laws. The fried oysters, fish and chicken tenders were so hot and crispy. Food did take a while to get to us, but the waitress was so nice and brought us 2 free bowls of gumbo. I loved my 1 lb of mussels and clams which was way too much for me to eat. Great atmosphere with amazing Cajun food and awesome service. Try it out if you're in the area. Let's keep them in business as one of the few restaurants on fondren near Belfort. read more

We decided to try this place out since we were in the mood for some crawfish and seafood. As soon as you walk in everyone is super friendly, professional and very helpful. We enjoyed the atmosphere and my kiddos enjoyed watching the robot bring out the food!! It was a super nice place and the food is amazing. Super flavorful and everything was beyond our expectations!! We Will be back!! read more

First time trying this spot. Crawfish was fresh and the shell came right off. Nothing was over cooked or bland. The amount of sauce they put in the bags was perfect. I got a pound of shrimp and crawfish. I like it really spicy so I wish they had another level after fire. FYI, I provided my own lemons. Also this was delivered and was securely packaged, which i appreciate and makes me want to return. Heart eyes ! read more

I was visiting from LA and couldn't eat at a restaurant on my to-do list and found this on Yelp. A local also recommended it to us. Came around lunchtime, and there was only one other customer seated, so we were a little skeptical, but then we saw several To Go orders on the counter , so let us know people do eat here, lol. I ordered the raw oysters with the boom sauce and the crab legs with head on shrimp with the boom sauce. The boom sauce was a tad bit too salty for my taste buds, but I believe that's how they like it in the south. Nevertheless, the food was good...nice and garlicky like I like it. Also ordered a lemon drop from their Happy Hour specials menu. My bill was $46 (not including the 20% tip). The service was good. Obviously, we were seated right away, and our server was attentive. We only had to wait a while for our food, which is a good thing because it was probably made to order. Did have a bit of a wait when I asked for a crab cracker. They provided gloves however they were buried under my bag of food, so I didn't notice them until I was done eating, but they come in a cute c@ndom style package (great marketing). I will definitely recommend this to people who I know will be visiting Houston and add it to my list of places to stop by when I'm in town. read more

Great customer service from Jody! She was patient about answering all our questions and she had a great, bubbly personality. Loved hearing her suggestions on what to order! Jody provided us some bibs, wet wipes, gloves and disposable gloves which was nice since I'm a messy person. Enjoyed the happy hour with green tea shots ($5), draft beer ($4), lemon martini ($8). We got the large seafood platter boil (feeds about 3 ppl) & shrimp basket (already started to eat) as an entree. The flavor was good, not that salty compared to other places I've tried. Extra points to this restaurant for having Spanish speaking servers! Keep it up! read more

The 2 small pieces of Fried Catfish were fluff and lightly crusted it was an 8 to me. The fried shrimp crust fell off when you touch it, that was like a 7 all because of seasoning, to me, it needs more. The fries were better than both with a 9 loved them. Ordered a Gumbo the flavor was good but to me, it's not worth $5 at all, to many veggies for a 7. Nice spacious place for all parties with a server. I'm going back to try something different like the boil. read more
