I paid full price for three meals: crab leg boil, shrimp boil and the catfish platter. What I received was one bag of crab legs with some shrimp thrown in...with one tiny potato (no corn, but I could taste the corn flavor) and a good helping of whatever broth it's cooked in. This was not a meal for two people, which is what I ordered and paid for. The catfish portion was normal.I typically frequent the location up north but this level of service is ridiculous. Takeout customers beware. It looks like you will only receive a fraction of what you ordered. read more

To start off the hostess very bad and incompetent. A party of three was 45 minutes and no text. I had to go in and ask and she said that my name was not in the system and had to start all over again. We waited for another 30 minutes and still people going in and being seated. Well this place should get a zero. read more

I understand that we have to be patient and wait to be seated, but when asking if our table is ready I'd expect a better answer rather then "I don't know, ask someone else" It's what the kid that works in front of the house did. And to wait a for a waitress? It took more than a minute. So TRY to at least fake the smile or hospitality. read more

This place is worth of driving to Austin. I normally like Vietnamese style boiled crawfish than Cajun but this place completely change my mind. The flavor inside the crawfish is great and balance. The crab is really fresh also the oyster. I had crawfish, crab and baked oyster and all of them are amazing. read more

Couldn't tell you anything. They quoted me 45-1hr wait and once that time passed there was still a wait.

I was in Austin for the weekend and decided to check this place out. When we got there it looked to be a wait time as there were groups of people sitting outside. Walked in there was not a host at the hostess stand. We stood there for about 5 minutes before one came. We noticed open seating at the bar we sat there. We sat there for about 10 mins with one menu and a dirty bar top. Finally the bartender came out asked if we needed another menu and then took out drink order. As we sat there i noticed the rest of the bar had not been cleaned off. When the bartender returned he took our order. I took a napkin to clean off the bar and pushed it over to the side. The bartender just put a piece of paper over the trash before our food came out. Didn't take long for our food to come out which was good. The snow crab legs were huge and very meaty. The food is why i am giving this place 3 stars bc the service is horrible. read more

Crawfish ATX - Snow crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm so glad this place opened up in SouthPark Meadows!! Crawfish is delicious. The spicy is pretty spicy for me but I still love it. Everything else is a great price. The combo plates. Love the boudin balls and the cajun eggrolls. Must get the toast so that you can sop up all that spicy buttery goodness from the crawfish!!! read more

Crawfish shouldn't even belong in this restaurants name because they clearly don't know what they are doing. Louisiana friends, let me indulge on how they boil their crawfish. They boil then in water then dump them in an ice chest and pour a disgusting amount of bland "Cajun" seasoning on them. These fools didn't even cook the mushrooms! You get served freaking raw mushrooms! Hands down was the worst crawfish I've ever had. Don't waste your money here. It should be considered animal cruelty for what they do to these crawfish. PS to the kitchen crew/owner, I'd be more than happy to show you the proper way to cook crawfish. First tip, the seasoning goes in the water and is never and I mean NEVER poured on cooked crawfish!!!! Also, please cook the mushrooms people! They are supposed to be boiled with the crawfish so they become juicy and filled with seasoning. read more

Are server was ryan best man ever Food was great love this place. Thank you guys for always lookin out for us. read more

My bf and I love seafood especially crab, we usually cook it at home cause it's cheaper but if we're wanting to go out we go to Joe's crab shack but we got recommended to this place by a friend and tried it out. The only thing I really liked about my meal was the garlic butter and the spice. I ordered 1LB of Snow Crab which was 16.99 (overpriced) by bf ordered King crab, 2LBs which was $51 (SUPER overpriced) and I had very little meat in my crab claws. They also ran out of potatoes? My complaint is the fact my order comes with one half corn on cob and one potato and to add more they charge per cob and potato and you even have to pay for butter lol. We also weren't greeted when we came in and our server was pretty absent, they seemed understaffed. All in all we'll stick with joes. read more

We are from out of town and just wanted to eat some crawfish. We had oysters, gumbo, and of course crawfish. Would definitely not recommend this place!!! The gumbo had no flavor what so ever. Gumbo I had out of a can was better. The oysters were good in size but wasn't a big fan of the idea of pico on my oysters. The crawfish were the smallest I had ever seen. But not only that. They had so much butter that you literally had to scoop them out like soup. Wouldn't recommend at all. I make way way better crawfish and I don't do it for a profession. They need to rethink their business. Although the food was less than desirable. Madison our server did a fantastic job!! read more

Great food, but they have no idea what they are doing with Favor. Rely on a third party company for delivery. I waited almost 2 hours, to find out the restaurant is closed. At 8pm. When I ordered at 6. I called they were open. I would go there every Friday when I was off. I told the Manger that, I am gonna spend my 300 dollars a month at another seafood restaurant. He said fine.. If I pay 100 dollars for your food and you blame it on it on your 3rd party with no accountability then we part ways. I am done. They said take it up with favor. So, I will. Damn they lost a good customer. 5 years. Your waitstaff will miss my 50% tip. Traah. read more

Given that we went here for crawfish, I expected to mediocre at best simply due the immersed population of New Orleans natives coming over during Katrina has made Houston a go to place for crawfish, which is where I am originally from. However, upon randomly stumbling upon this restaurant, this is truly a diamond in the rough. I would recommend everybody in Austin to come and try their crawfish at least once... If you know what good crawfish is . From what I hear, they just opened. They are doing a great job attending to their patrons with great service. If this was them working out their kinks, I can't imagine what the service would be like when they are a fine tuned business. This establishment was very clean as well. I highly recommend. I read the earlier reviews... And think that they either were in a transition stage or habitual complainers. Needless to say, my opinion is stated above. read more

Crawfish ATX - Even at 11:25, this place is still packed and insane. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Austin, Texas

We ordered crawfish and shrimp to go for dinner and the crawfish was inedible. It was over cooked and the texture was extremely rubbery. We used to love ordering crawfish here but it seems like due to covid, the quality of food has gone downhill. We called to explain how bad the food was, but they tried to tell us it was because we picked the food up 2 hours later. Our receipt proved we picked the food up within 30 minutes of ordering. They refused to give a refund on the crawfish. Very disappointing and we will not be coming here again. read more

I'm giving them four stars for the food, but the service was really slow. I think the problem was in the kitchen because we were there at lunch and it was not crowded. Our server did a good job with refills, and did separate checks for our large crowd without a problem. I had the crawfish and it was delicious. We also had the Boudin balls which were quite good. Crispy and full of flavor. I'm hoping they'll get their service issues fixed quickly, because I really like having a good crawfish place near my house! read more

Crawfish ATX - Two pounds of Crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is amazing but also frustrates the hell out of me. Great food. Subpar service. Like most the other people have said. The gf and I have visited their OG location off wells branch multiple times. Best crawfish in Austin hands down. But half our visits also have been accompanied by below average/very slow service. But when we saw they finally opened a location in our neck of the woods, we had to give it a try. We arrived around 2pm on a Saturday. Pretty busy time to get there. We were 3rd on the waiting list. The first thing to catch my eye was the lack of staff for a restaurant that large. Having dirty tables stay dirty and not having your guests on the waiting list seated on those empty tables is a huge rookie mistake. So annoying to see. I work in a restaurant. If my employees were to leave dirty tables uncleaned while other guests were waiting for 20+mins, that would be a major problem. Now to the food... awesome. Just like their OG location. Big. Juicy. Fresh crawfish. Awesome flavors. I would describe my spice tolerance as middle of the pack, so getting the medium level spice is always perfect. Get a side order of the grilled bread and dip it in the boil fluids. Do it. You will thank me later. The food did take a while to come out as always... The crawfish etouffee here is Probably the best I've had in Austin as well. Which is another reason it's a damn shame I can't give this place 5 stars. Fix your service problems and I'm sure you'll be rated 4-4.5 on yelp crawfish shack! read more

Crawfish ATX - Crawfish and shrimp boil. Extra sausage. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Austin, Texas

After driving around trying to figure out where to eat or get some drinks on a Saturday night, my boyfriend and I came across this place. I love crawfish so I thought I'd get some to go and head back home. We walked in and were sent over to the bar to order, and at the last minute we decided to eat there and have some drinks. I ordered a frozen margarita and two pounds of extra spicy crawfish. My boyfriend ordered the catfish platter. Overall, I say that the food (and the margarita) was delicious and the crawfish were huge. The extra spicy is not as spicy as some I've had elsewhere, but still had a great kick and flavor. The catfish platter was delicious as well and the seasoned fries were fresh and crispy. The service at the bar was also great. It was very clean and they took really good care of us. I'll be back again! read more

Crawfish ATX - Huge crawfish! Extra spicy is delicious! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is the best! In a convenient spot in Southpark Meadows, it's very easy to access, but not as easy to see because it's hiding behind another restaurant. This place is always so busy, so I usually get takeout, but the dining service is just as good. Even though there are usually a lot of people, they get your food out fast and it doesn't feel like you're sitting there forever. The flavor of the crab is so good! This is the first place I ever tried snow crab, and it got me hooked. They provide lots of tools to help you eat, like gloves and a cracker for the shell. They provide a little tin for you to put your trash in when you're done. And they also provide little wet napkins for easy cleanup. This is also a family owned business so it's very impressive how quickly and How efficiently they work. I recommend this place, one of the best crab shack's in Austin. read more

Crawfish and shrimp here was pretty good .. I've been looking for a seafood boil and Cajun flavors and this place hit the spot !! The raw oysters are great as well !! Calamari is delicious !!! Overall everything is fantastic !!! read more

Sorry, I'm a very forgiving person but my fiance ordered door dash named David. I WENT TO GET THE ORDER AND YOU GAVE ME 2POUNDS OF CRAWFISH FOR DAVOR!!!!! PLEASE get your establishment together. I will accept I should of checked order, but really??? I'm in the industry too and it should have been correct and ready to go. read more

I love this place; however, you can only be understaffed for so long. I went to the location about 2 months ago and loved it. I am back tonight and they still refused to sit folks outside due to being understaffed. Unacceptable. I am currently at Waterloo because it is better than this location on any night. Manager - needs to go. You can't be understaffed for over two months. read more

Messed up our order. Couldn't get corrected because they had no hot water. When asked for the owners name, they refused to give it. I guess I could've just Googled it... Waitress was nice and manager was a joke. read more

Roaches dead on the bathroom floor where ants were marching from the carcasses to the strewn toilet paper and towels. Also no soap so how can employees effectively wash their hands? Angel was the only good thing about our experience on this Friday night. The green salsa was congealed like Jello and left uncertainty as to what it was supposed to be. The gumbo was cold and the rice was one large clump. After paying the bill the bus person didn't even let me put my purse over my shoulder before he was rolling up the butcher paper table cloth. Do not come here. read more

When during prime crawfish season and they completely over cooked it. The tails were a good size but were falling apart. The beer glass came out very dirty. The boudin balls came out with a Short dark hair on one of them. The bar manager "d" or "dr" was rude. He asked if we needed anything and i asked for some butter and he told me i had to ask my server..... well then why the hell did you ask if i needed anything? Food was average, manager was rude and my cup was dirty and food had hair in it. Will not be back read more

Give me all of the snow crab this place can make! I like it spicy so I wish the seasoning could have been Spicer but it was still good. If you are afraid of butter though stay away (more for me).... Also ordered the boudin balls and couldn't stop eating the remoulade sauce was scrumptious. Very laid back staff and atmosphere. One of my pet peeves though is when food is brought out at different times, so beware. read more

Crawfish ATX - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Austin, Texas

The food is great but the customer service sucks. Whenever we order take out we have to keep calling 30-40mins b4 someone answers the phone. Dining in can take nearly 2hrs to wait for a table. The girl up front attitude is flat, abrupt, unconcerned, & lifeless. Everybody who came in after us got seated b4 us. Every year the customer service gets worse. read more

SO GOOD and the food is seasoned perfectly! It has always been one of our favorite places to get shrimp and crawfish. My husband especially loves it bc they have king crab, which is hard to find at restaurants. read more

Mmm crawfish! I LOVE their Cajun seasoning. They only have the one but you can get it at any level of spice. Every 2 pounds of seafood comes with ONE corn, ONE potato, and a couple of sausages and mushrooms. Is a corn and a tiny red potato really worth 75¢ each? It's unfortunate but they're totally worth it. Our waiter, Angelique, was also great and super helpful. She recommended 3 pounds of crawfish for my friend and I and it was the perfect amount! Thanks girl. I've decided that rainy days are the best days to go in. A normal Saturday night = 1 hour wait. A rainy Saturday night = seated immediately. Not sure if it was the rain or something else but I'm not complaining! I do wish they offered bibs and gloves. My hands still smelled of crawfish the next morning and I washed them multiple times PLUS a shower o.o maybe some moist towelettes with the check? read more

Crawfish ATX - Raw oysters and medium spiced crawfish! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Austin, Texas

I normally come here all the time during crawfish season. This particular time the wait wasn't to bad. After we were sat we didnt get served for about 10-15 minutes. I had to call the store to advise them we were seated for 10 minutes or so with no acknowledgement and ask to speak to the manager. They came out and apologized then someone came over by the name of Rica to be our server stating our server hadn't showed up to work yet. (So I'm thinking y'all were just going to leave us here til they got here) anywho Rica was nice very attentive and made up for lost time I hate to say it but we were the only black table here at that time. Not sure where the disconnect was but people were being help immediately after us at other tables. Very disappointed. At the end of the meal we were give a 15 percent discount to help with the dissatisfaction. Again our server Rica was amazing im only making the stars a 2 do to the miscommunication read more

I came in after 9 PM and the bar and restaurant was full of hungry people. I waited about 10 minutes and grabbed a seat at the bar. Stephen and Fernando are excellent bartenders and immediately provided me with an unsweetened tea. I had a couple of friends show up and they orders snow crab and live crawfish. The food was ready in a few minutes. Delicious! I highly recommend the live crawfish. They fix it just right. I wanted to give a shout out to the busser Sammy who was running around clearing tables and providing great customer service. read more

They have some of the best crawfish in Austin. The service is friendly especially at the bar. Had a great time! read more

I love eating here, I've been many times. But tonight we where turned away with 18 minutes left till close. The first thing the hostess said is "you have two minutes" explained that the kitchen closes at 9:45 but it was 9:43 and ultimately just turned us away. We explained that we knew what we wanted for a to go order but she still pushed us away even tho we where not past the cut off time. read more

Had been craving some gumbo so decided to try this joint out and OH MAN. DECIDED on the etoufee after my waitress offered to let me sample. I also added a margarita which was also delish. I'm truly satisfied and will definitely come back. A must try. read more

Crawfish ATX - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Austin, Texas

We went for my son's 15th birthday and the one star is more on the service than the food. We went on a Friday night, the hostess told us it would be 45 minutes to an hour, we waited about 15 which was nice. We ordered our drinks, 4 sweet teas, one un sweet. The server told us they just ran out of sweet tea but were brewing some fresh. The sweet tea was not very sweet at all - I prefer un sweet tea so I liked it. About 30 minutes passed before my wife got her tea, but it did come out eventually. My son and I each ordered two pounds of crawfish, his mild - mine spicy, my wife and daughter shared the shrimp and steak, and my son's friend ordered a well done steak and fries. We also started with two orders of hush puppies. The hush puppies were good, so was the tarter sauce. The crawfish was also good but the server wasn't sure which one was spicy and which was mild, so we had to figure out which was which by trying each others. It also says in the menu if you order two pounds you'll get corn, 1 potato, sausage, and mushrooms. My order didn't have any potato in it, his order had 1 tiny red potato. For a seafood restaurant, this feels CHEAP. If you have to, charge an extra $0.50 and include a regular sized Russet Potato. The steak was bad. The crawfish got delivered a good 10 minutes before the steak, I had to get up and go looking for it. My wife ordered her steak med-rare and the other steak was ordered well done. I understand that a well done steak may take a bit longer, but not a med-rare. The fries are also CHEAP frozen fries. To top it off, the steaks were mixed up. They served my wife the well done steak and our guest the med-rare. Which isn't a huge deal to swap, but our guest probably left hungry because the well done steak was tiny. Both cuts had big fatty chunks also. After the food got delivered, we didn't see our server again until I asked another server if they could get our check. At which point our server showed up and bused the table. He didn't get much of a tip out of me and maybe a manager will read this and address it. After eating the crawfish my hands were plenty covered in the buttery sauce, which was good, but they need to send out wet wipes or something. I went in to the restroom to wash my hands and had to use my pants because there were no paper towels there either. TLDR - The crawfish was good, the rest of it was CHEAP frozen foods that got fried or re-heated. They should be ashamed of the service, it was that bad. read more

Food was incredible. Participated in Margarita Mondays and lemme tell ya those are bomb. Service was quick and efficient! Will be back

Not sure why I even went back smh thought I'd try it after a year or so but not any better!! We were there for TWO HOURS just to get cold crawfish and terrible king crab. They first gave my order to another patron after he ate some, took it back from him and gave it to me cold!!! Just ridiculous not sure how this place is still open as there are so many health food violations. The girl behind the bar was very nice though. read more

I absolutely am pleased with this seafood restaurant! we went on a Saturday evening and it was not as busy. We had oysters half shells ($10.95 for a dozen) calamari and boudin balls (both at $4.95 each) for appetizers. we also orders 3 lbs of snow crabs at $7.99/lb with $1 off for every pound that Saturday, 2 inks of crawfish at $9.99/lb, but with every 2 lbs we got potatoes, corn and mushrooms in the hot pot. we also had their margarita special that evening, which was pineapple margaritas for $6. Spent $115 for everything, that's great for the amount of food we had! We enjoyed our waitress and it was a restaurant. Good atmosphere to bring friends and family and enjoy some delicious seafood, especially crawfish! I'll be back! read more
