We found this place while on a business trip. And it did not disappoint. The serving size for the food was great and the space was very big and had a very rustic and outdoor feel. The only reason I didn't give it a five is because one of the advertisers we got seems like it was just store-bought cheese, but the sausage was great and my catfish platter was tender and well seasoned. The lady who helped us was very attentive. read more

18oz ribeye, cooked medium was great, fries were seasoned well. Service was excellent, despite getting there about 45 minutes before they closed, our waitress was great, had a great attitude, was patient with us. Manager was attentive as well, Informed us we need to get our order in before the kitchen started shutting down. Vibes were good, as I was with a big group. There were not many there when we arrived, but that didn't stop us from receiving great service and food. read more

Great service and very good food this evening for a family dinner. Started with the fried mushrooms and fried pickles. Both appetizers were delicious and didn't feel like eating chunks of batter. The fried catfish was a hit and came with several fillets. The fried shrimp with fries received high praise. Very large shrimp. My father in law went with the grilled salmon and I ordered the ribeye steak. My steak was outstanding and a large piece of beef. I took half home. The charcoal taste was delicious. read more

I called and asked if they was serving crawfish they said yes and I drove 30 minutes just to find out they was not serving crawfish

Frustrating experience at **Crawdad's** in Merigold, Mississippi..... l was excited to share a local spot with guests from across the country. It deeply disappointed me when a restaurant fails to deliver on service *and* quality, and even more so when it feels like visitors are treated as an afterthought compared to regulars. No one should have to deal with inconsistency in hospitality, no matter where they're from. Never will I return there again! Absolutely poor service! read more

We recently went to eat at Crawdads with a party of 11. We specifically went to celebrate a special occasion. We were told they couldn't serve us anything but bottled beer, glasses of wine and cans of High Noons due to a wedding reception they were having. Which made NO sense. Had we know this, we would have gone somewhere else. Later we found out they had lost their liquor license. For the future, be honest and tell the truth. This reflects so poorly on your establishment. Our service was incredibly slow and for the $500 we spent, we were not impressed. Food was over salted, and had sat long before we received it. read more

Update your online presence, please. I detoured out of my way to patronize you on a Tuesday night to find you closed.

Okay let me preface by saying it's one of the better restaurants in the area in terms of nicer food. However, there is much lacking in this restaurant's presentation. It is a pretty pricy place and we always come around thanksgiving and get a steak. Their steaks are pretty great! We got the shrimp dip and it was just lacking in presentation. There's no garnish on anything in this restaurant!!!! When you pay high prices for high quality food the presentation is necessary. The salad had the SMALLEST amount of cheese on each it was actually embarrassing! The potato doesn't come with butter you put your own on and they give you fake butter packets! Lol! It's comical! Then you ask for sour cream and it comes in a plastic container and literally has a teaspoon in it! They act so cheap about it! The shrimp dip needs some cheese and chives on top! At fine dining, these little things create the experience that makes you want to spend the price. I've worked in the restaurant industry all my life and I know when a man is in charge of the presentation. It typically lacks! Take pride in your food! We had a large group of 20 people and the waitress Mary did very well, but you could tell that for a Saturday night, during Black Friday weekend, it should and could have been more packed! Small changes people!! Makes the difference!! read more

Really good food, but the name is a bit misleading. Don't expect a lot of Cajun food choices. Be aware that entrees do not include sides. A bit disappointed in the lack of French bread or cornbread. No Cajun or southern food should be served without it. Only bland toast available if you ask for it. Great service although my waiter couldn't answer any of my questions about the animal mounts. Great atmosphere. Very outdoorsy. read more

If I could give a minus 5 star rating, I would! Ambiance, the early hunting lodge motif is well executed with dusty spider-web covered animal "trophies" decorating the walls. The place feels like it hasn't been thoroughly cleaned in years and the toilets are a violation of the sanitary code. In addition, the design of the building, or lack thereof, makes it impossible to carry on a conversation. Abysmal service from arrogant teenagers made any evaluation of food quality impossible. Service moved with the speed of a glacier causing our orders to be served over a thirty minute period. Food for a table should be served at the same time. For the price I expect fresh butter and sour cream, not packets like a fast-food restaurant. Our person "taking care of us" as she said, gets an F. She was inattentive and came with a healthy case of bad attitude. Then there is the hostess/cashier...When we finally got our check I was astonished that a "mandatory" 20% gratuity was included. Given the horrible service I told the teenager at the counter that I wouldn't pay it, given our cold food and poor service. I asked to speak to the manager who NEVER made an appearance after repeated requests. No apologies were made, only the excuse that there was a wedding party being served at the same time. Clearly, there was a decision made to maximize profit and bring in necessary staff to serve all the guests. This is another example of GREED driving a business. Finally, I started to pay the bill, less gratuity, and was told that if I did pay the total bill the police would be called. This totally unacceptable behavior. I paid the entire bill and will never go back. Horrible service, petulant and rude teenagers for staff, and sub-par food, make this is a place to avoid! read more

Great food great steaks best in the delta Best steaks in delta! Really great food. Great service! read more

Love so much about Crawdad's! I have been a customer from the early days when they sold crawdads from a small spot on old hwy 61. They have modernized and even offer sushi that is very innovative. There steaks are the best for miles and miles. Also, they host live music making this small town a destination for many parties. It is large enough to host special events and a great back screened in porch for variety of space! read more

Great catfish dinner. Never disappointed. I can't wait to go back. They provide great service and they are friendly.

Food is always good. I like the atmosphere but liked it more at the old place (circa 90s); food too, but not throwing shade.

The best restaurant that I've been to so far in the Delta! Went here last night for my girlfriend's birthday, and it was amazing. I didn't have a reservation so I called and the manager was very friendly and accommodating; even though they had a packed house he assured me that he could fit us in and sure enough a nice secluded two-top booth was waiting for us when we arrived. The service was excellent - Ann was our server and she was on point. Full bar, and the bartender made me an excellent old-fashioned, and my girlfriend had a solid Margarita. The appetizers that we ordered were grilled oysters - topped with brown sugar, bacon, black-pepper roasted jalapeño slice, parmesean, and Sriracha - which were delicious. We also had a crab cake - served with pickled vegetables and remoulade - which was very good. I ordered an 8oz filet cooked medium rare, and it was mouth watering. It was wrapped in bacon and melted in my mouth. My side was a stuffed potato (similar to a twice-baked) and it was delicious. She ordered Salmon, which was displayed nice over lettuce, tomato, feta, red onion, and artichokes, with a red wine vinaigrette. The ONLY 2 complaints would be 1. No bread served before the meal - but this was ok as each entrée was served with a nice crispy piece of grilled Tuscan bread. And 2. The butter and sour cream that I asked for with my potato were packets (not fresh), but this did not take anything away from my meal. The bill was very pricey, but expected and worth it. Finally, the atmosphere was perfect. It had the feel of a hunting lodge, with a plethora of stuffed animals, antlers, reptiles, etc, and many pictures on the walls of who I assume is the owner and his sons with their hunting prizes. The booth that we sat at in a somewhat secluded room was great for a date night, and very romantic. They had other secluded rooms that looked perfect for larger parties. After dinner we went to the bar for another drink, which certainly was bumping for a Saturday night in the Delta. There was live music (a duo on guitars and singing), and a large, warm crowd (which seemed mostly local, but very welcoming) socializing in the large bar area. I would highly recommend this fine establishment. read more

High expectations--not met. The building looks nice when you first walk in, but quickly you realize it's too big for its staff to run properly. A trip to the restroom immediately sounds the alarm that the cleanliness is subpar. This is further accentuated when you sit down at a table and find the tacky red plastic cover sticky, and chewing gum on the wall. Worst of all, the paper menu is disgusting. Stains, food particles, grease, and obvious signs of age make you not even want to touch it, much less turn the page. At this point I'm ready to bolt, but it's not convenient. So the horror continues and the first round of drinks served in antiquated plastic cups further solidifies the lackluster experience. Sweet tea that is so sweet it's undrinkable is merely par for the course. But wait. There's more. The fried dill pickles arrive and they are soggy and dripping with oil. Basically inedible the waiter's only response to the questioning of such a disgusting dish is that the chef doesn't always send the pickles through the apparatus that is supposed to drain the excess oil like he is supposed to. Awesome, I'm so glad he decided to slack off tonight. The rest of the meal followed in similar fashion, all the while we couldn't wait to get out of there. Unfortunately, the suffering wasn't left behind in Merigold. Everyone ended up with upset stomachs within a couple hours. Two stars instead of one for the nice building and crawfish that wasn't terrible. But we won't be back. And won't recommend. Sad, seems like the place has a lot of potential. read more

A Delta Dinner for 10. Hidden between all of the Merigold Red Light cameras, watch yourself, this is a Delta gem. We started with a handful of appetizers, from crawfish to cheese-dip they were all wonderful. Several ribeyes were ordered, a few NY strips, a catfish and my Shrimp Sultana. The waitress advised going with the Shrimp Sultana over Shrimp & Grits, because you can make that at home. The Shrimp Sultana was this taste sensation, shrimp (duh), crawfish, veggies and an amazing cream sauce. Have no fear, plenty of shrimp & crawfish. Great service as our waitress made many, many, many trips to the bar and back, and never let us get thirsty. If you find yourself in the Delta and hungry consider stopping in. read more

Good food, but horrific decor. It was if you could get past all the dead animals starring down at you. The thought that I was supporting an establishment that does exotic hunting of every and anything from sea turtles and zebras to beautiful panthers and lions. The thought of how those are even kept clean....once you get past the unethical and immoral part of it. I was visiting out of state, was a guest, otherwise I would have left. read more

They have excellent food and service. The meal between the four of us was catfish, catfish w/parmesian crust, crawfish, and chicken alfredo w/shrimp. All entree's were excellent. I want to turn the attention to the asparagus. It is a must try asap! Thank you Crawdad's! The band played very well also! A big shout out to Chris, our waiter who took very good care of us. Thank you! read more

Atmosphere is quaint and cabin-like with a wild game hunting motif. We enjoyed live music. Food was outstanding. We had steak and tuna tacos. Both were cooked to perfection. We will definitely be going back. read more

Love love this place, that was my first time going, will come back once a month until I try Eve on the menu

We were very disappointed tonight after rerouting our trip after a ballgame. We arrived at Crawdads at 7:30, there was 17 of us that were willing to split up and sit wherever and they refused to seat us. The girl at the front was extremely rude and wouldn't let us speak to the manager because he was "in a mood". I'm not one to write reviews but this called for one. read more

Highly recommend the steaks or grilled seafood. Crawfish (when in season) is their speciality so give that a try as well. Had the fried okra and crab cakes for an appetizer tonight. Fried okra was really good. Crab cakes were a little bready. While they do have a non-smoking section they also have a bar in the same building and the smoke can be a little annoying. read more

Had Mahi Mahi tonight - really great seasoned wonderfully and had grilled squash zucchini and asparagus- hubby had filet which was good!! Also had crab cakes ( some spice cumin I think that was detracting but good!!) fried okra appetizer was a special and these southerners could not turn down ( almost good as mommas) chocolate cobbler and bread pudding to finish AMAZING !! Great waitress!! Fast service!! read more

We drove over an hour to come here for the steak. The restaurant is in a nice little out of the way area. It's filled with mounted animals. The atmosphere is pretty family oriented. Everyone worked well together. I ordered the shrimp and grits, which was delicious. Although expensive this place is worth the drive. read more

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere; the ony thing I could possibly knock them on is price. If you're visiting the Delta or moving there, this should be near the top of your list of places to go. If you already live there, you've probably already been! read more

My husband is from Cleveland so we have been to Crawdad's a couple of times before, many years ago. Went this evening and upon arrival, it was pretty much empty. We were scared, and for good reason. The staff was friendly and our server was great, but the food wasn't. The steaks were fine. I ordered the salmon and asked for medium temp. The salmon came out well done, was very dry and heavily peppered. Everything else was average at best. We had a good time but the food could use some work. read more

Holy moly! This place is fantastic. I ordered the caprese salad & shish kabobs with asparagus. I cleaned my plate and my husbands side potato. I honestly couldn't stop. I also tried the crawfish ( they're steamed not boiled! ) and I tried my husband's steak. I was completely satisfied. Service was awesome & the environment was fun. I highly suggest checking this place out if you're in the Delta! read more

Excellent restaurant!!! Foods excellent, excellent service . Great atmosphere !!!! Joey Lamb is most Accommodating!!!! read more

Terrible service. They cancelled a party we booked months in advance, on very short notice. They promised to make the food free of charge, deliver it and provide utensils to make up for it. They not only didn't deliver the food on time, it was an hour late and we had to go get it ourselves! No utensils, and it was cold. If you want real service, go see Cole at Delta Meat Market. He saved our party when Crawdads tried their best to ruin it. read more

This is a don't miss place to eat if you are in the area. Upon entering you will feel welcomed by a great waitstaff and soon find yourself immersed in what feels like a huge hunting lodge. My first time in I tried the Catfish Parmesan. Absolutely wonderful! I new then and there this would not be my only visit to this gem. Next time in I fell into my old pattern of not messing with success. I had the exact same meal as last time and once again I was not disappointed! Then and there I made a promise to myself to return and try new things. Decided to try the Grouper Gautier. I was not disappointed! Very rarely do I feel compelled to thank a chef on the spot for such a wonderful meal, but this meal warranted it. I have since been back a few time and have never been disappointed. Many delicious appetizers. You may find a gumbo as good in the area but I guarantee you will not find better. I stop in the area from time to time and will never come through this area and not make time to visit this fine establishment read more

I had the steamed crawfish here, and they were awesome. This place was a little off the beaten path, but is worth checking out.

Highly recommend the bone in pork chop. As good if not better than any I've ever had. Side dish of sweet potatoes was excellent as well. Do stop in if you have a chance. Plus ben luther has never been wrong about food quality ...great pick Ben!! read more

Locals love to rave about Crawdad's, and honestly, I'm just not getting it. The reason I'm giving them two stars instead of one is because the food is pretty decent -- not mind-blowing, but decent. The catfish is OK, but I've had better. Their shrimp and grits were very good, but my portion size was tiny, and I was finished with my meal long before everyone else in my party. I'm not pretentious by any means, but their atmosphere is way too... er... "down home" for me. I noticed that their page on here describes proper attire as "dressy." That is *definitely* not the case. I also don't really understand why the restaurant is divided up into so many separate rooms. Finding the bathroom is like walking through a maze. Service could definitely use some improvement. The last time we went, our waiter acted as if he had a chip on his shoulder for some reason, and it made us just a bit uncomfortable. I suppose for being in an area that suffers from a serious lack of good, quality restaurants, Crawdad's is OK, but anywhere outside of the Delta, I doubt they would be as packed as they usually are. read more

Crawdad's is serious business. They have huge portions, so be ready for that. They have the best fried pickles ever, yummy gumbo, and tasty (and large) entrees of steaks, catfish, etc. A fun stop in Merigold! read more

I was in Cleveland on a business trip, and wanted a MS delta dinner. Crawdad's was the perfect stop. The rustic interior was great. McKinsie was our server. She was very attentive to our needs. She suggested the spicy shrimp dip appetizer. It was very good. I had crawfish alfredo. Huge entree, sauce was perfect! I had to take half of my dinner home with me. Overall, a great dining experience! read more

Visiting Crawdads is a great dining experience which I highly recommend. Here you will find a great menu choice of appetizers, steaks, seafoods, deserts and anything in-between. The restaurant also includes a full bar. When you visit Crawdads you will see what a great and welcoming atmosphere they have. The restaurant is decorated with many mounted animals and provides for a very nice overall dining setting. Service is always excellent thanks to a great staff of waiters and waitresses. I highly recommend anyone who is ever in the area looking for a great dining experience to stop by for a meal. Eating here can become a bit pricey but well worth the food and experience. Crawdads will always be one of my favorite places to eat in the area. I definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try. read more
