We saw a few videos about this spot & decided to give it a try. We ordered 2lbs of nola & 2lbs of garlic butter. They were both amazing & so so juicy. This is hands down the best crawfish spot in the area. As we were eating, we thought it was so good that we grabbed 3 more lbs. The brothers were super welcoming & very nice. We drove over an hour to get here & we'd come back again! We attached a photo of the aftermath, we forgot to take one before because it was so good. They are mainly focused on takeout but they do have a few tables & gloves for you to eat inside! read more

Crawfish Bros - Cajun/Creole Near Me - San Jose, California

I came here two days in a row because the prices and the crawfish were just that good. I tried both the NOLA and garlic butter, and it doesn't matter which one you choose, both are packed with flavor because they really soak the crawfish with the seasoning. The owners were super nice and told us about how they prepped their seafood and source everything and it's so awesome that they're open about how they serve their customers. If they keep these prices and the service going, I don't really see myself going to any other crawfish spot other than this one! read more

I don't ever right reviews for restaurants, but HOLY SHIT this place is amazing. These guys are from Louisiana and bringing authentic traditional crawfish boil over to the bay. With the way they cook it you can feel the soul they put into their work. The owner is super friendly and easy to talk to. The restaurant gives the vibe of a backyard crawfish boil that you would have with family and friends. Definitely coming back!! read more

If you want real live crawfish, Crawfish Bros is the spot. They fly in live crawfish daily, and you can taste the difference immediately. Most places around here are charging close to $18 a pound for frozen crawfish, while Crawfish Bros serves fresh live crawfish for around $10 a pound. The value alone is hard to beat. The flavor is outstanding, especially if you add the garlic butter. Every batch comes out packed with seasoning and cooked perfectly. The sides are just as good. The local gator and pork sausage take the meal to another level. What makes the experience even better is the owner, Mike. He's one of the friendliest restaurant owners I've met and genuinely makes customers feel welcome. Great food, fair prices, and great people. Easily one of my favorite spots. read more

i've seen this place all over tik tok and i was so glad i finally had the chance to try it. this place is not really a sit down restaurant and only has 2 tables but it is the perfect place to for to go orders. we went on a friday evening and and purchased our crawfish. it comes with just crawfish and you will have to add sausages, potatoes, and corn if you want some. there are two types of crawfish - NOLA (which is seasoned but doesn't have sauce) and garlic butter (which is seasoned and sauced). we purchased 3 lbs and NOLA and 2 lbs of garlic butter. it was all seasoned and sauced nicely and the prices are unbeatable compared to all the other sseafood boil restaurants. we will definitely be coming back soon. read more

ordered 2 lbs of shrimp, 2 lbs of crawfish and 3 corn and one sausage link the crawfish was very lukewarm. seems like they don't prep it as orders are placed. shrimp was hot, but lacked flavor. crawfish had more flavor/spices. didn't really hit the spot for me. corn just tasted like butter. little to no flavor in the garlic butter. this is very grab and go. they only have 3 tables inside. read more

The crawfish here are amazing! You can definitely tell they're imported from Louisiana because they are huge, especially compared to the smaller Sacramento ones you usually see around here. Both the NOLA and Garlic Butter flavors are incredible - I can't decide which I like more. Just a heads up: when you ask for spicy, it is actually spicy! The staff is super friendly, and the prices are so good I really hope they stay this low. I'm already planning my next visit! A quick tip on logistics: the parking lot and the dining area are both very small, so it's not really a date-night spot, and you might want to park a bit further away. Honestly, the best move is to buy in bulk, take it home, and go HAM with some ice-cold beers! read more

Not bad, Not bad. There's been quite a buzz surrounding Crawfish Bros and being that we have some heavy crawfish eaters in the fam, there wasn't any chance of us not giving Crawfish Bros a try. 1st and foremost, this joint is essentially a take out spot for seafood boil. The menu is pretty straight forward offering: combos, crawfish and shrimp sold by the pound, and a few sides to help round our your order. Sides consist of corn [whole cobs], sausage links [whole, uncut], potatoes, and turkey necks. There are only 2 flavors to choose from: NOLA or GARLIC BUTTER. Shrimp seems to only be available with garlic butter. Our takeout order consisted of: *4lbs NOLA crawfish *4lbs Garlic Butter crawfish *2 sausage links *1lb Shrimp Be advised that there is a service fee that will be automatically added to your tab. I'm not sure if this is strictly set for credit card payments. Food took a bit of time to come out but there staff was working with quite a bit of orders. Orders come out warm IMO. Don't come here expecting piping hot bags with steaming air begging to be released. The live seafood is cooked in the back and then placed in massive metal bowls to be weighed out and bagged. FOOD: The crawfish was legitimately good. Both NOLA and garlic butter flavoring was good but I find garlic butter reigns supreme. The crawdads were massive in size and very fresh. Shrimp was plump and not overcooked. Our entire party did not care for the sausages and at $5 a pop, I would have enjoyed potatoes more. Pricing is a lot more affordable vs the other crawfish eateries. Crawfish Bros is highly recommended when it comes to being a good bang for your buck but the flavorings are absolutely limited. 4/5 stars. I'd easily come back but only wished the food was hotter in temp. read more

Been hearing a lot of hype about this place being affordable crawfish, which is so rare to hear. Service: The owner is friendly and super nice. The whole kitchen and service was run by himself. Please be patient as the service can take some time. Ambiance: The place is clean and small. 3 tables, so be aware about limited seating. I came in on Thursday 1-ish pm, and there was some wait time before ordering. Nola crawfish $9/lb (4/5): Tasted like authentic Louisiana crawfish, and it had a kick (mild-medium spice). Cooked in a broth that's a bit tad too salty. It was so fresh and huge. Garlic butter $11/lb (5/5): This was yummy, definitely preferred this over Nola. I have noticed that these were a little more difficult to crack open than the Nola, as if they're not as fresh. Potatoes $3 (3/5): These were standard potatoes, nothing special. $3 for 3 potatoes tho, that's cheap compared to other spots charging $3 a potato. I would honestly come back again since it's such a bargain. I hope the price can stay affordable over time. I saw they take orders to purchase sacks of live crawfish. read more

Actually good crawfish. They're massive and fresh and super worth it for the price! $9 /lb for crawfish and it's not just the shell, there meat in the claws. Super homie place and located in a pretty small plaza too. 10/10 would come back again. read more

Crawfish Bros - Cajun/Creole Near Me - San Jose, California

Totally get that this is the nature of seafood, but the size in crawfish is really inconsistent. I had some huge ones and some with a body smaller than the biggest tail. Seats are limited and its much easier to bring home. Both times I tried I got more than 3 lbs. My first time I really liked the NOLA seasoning, hard for me to find here. The garlic butter adds nothing to the flavor, not worth the extra bucks. We got sausage and they threw in one unseasoned sausage that wasn't cut into chunks, really awkward to eat. Second time the batch seemed like it was left overnight, it was unbearably dry. I couldn't finish it after realizing how much dirt sank to the bottom of my bag. Hard for me to try a place again if I can't trust their quality. Maybe I would only go at peak crawfish season? read more

It's more of a to go spot that it is dine in. They do have a few tables but it's a small restaurant. The pricing is more affordable than other seafood boil spots, however the menu is very limited and so are their flavors. They did a good job cooking the seafood. However, it did lack flavor but it was expected for just butter and garlic. read more

I came here with my sister a few days ago and we were shocked by the fair prices and taste. They are also a family owned business :) Taste: We preferred the garlic butter because of how rich and creamy it was. Parking: Small plaza but easy to find parking. Note that the seating is very limited here. read more

I genuinely loved this place! I ordered 4lbs of NOLA style crawfish and 2 shots of garlic butter on the side for dipping. We took our order to go to enjoy at home. They cook the crawfish perfectly and it had a perfect amount of spice. The crawfish were juicy, and there were a bunch of huge ones, and maybe 2 straight tailed ones (which you should know not to eat crawfish if the tails are straight). Anyways, the guys working the joint are super nice, and are new to the area, so give em some credit. I would recommend this spot to everyone and would be back in a heartbeat if I didn't live so far away! read more

Crawfish Bros - 4lbs NOLA style - Cajun/Creole Near Me - San Jose, California

Went here for a quick taste cause heard so much about the original taste of New Orleans. Yes, it's true, taste like how I grew up with. I can't find one that cooks like New Orleans style cause most shops in San Jose cook like Houston style. The crawfish was big not one of those small crawfish. They even sell live crawfish but heard it sold out pretty fast. I guess I will do more cookout at home now. Also like to support a local seafood shop. read more

SO GOOD! Our friends orders from here for a party and we loved it so much that the next day we ordered it for another party. The crawfish is fresh and the head butter tastes like uni, super creamy. The crawfish stuff sausage is unique and definitely worth the try. We've tried both the Nola style and the garlic butter and both flavors are very different. I like both! This place is totally worth the try! read more

The crawfish is absolute fire. My husband and i started out with 2lbs of crawfish. The crawfish was so fresh, plump, and flavorful and the roe was AMAZING. Easy to crack because everything is FRESH, not frozen. All the spices were absorbed into the shell and the meat. Highly recommend trying NOLA style, im sure garlic butter is amazing too but you cant get NOLA anywhere else in the bay! It was so good that my husband ordered another lb. The owners were also very friendly, appreciative of any guests who walked in. So excited that they decided to open a shop in the bay. Theres only about 3 tables, very small shop with big flavors. I have a feeling theyll make a big impact here! read more

Visited 3 days in a row so you tell me it's good or not. The plazas got a tiny lot so parking may be a bit difficult. Crawfish Bros is in a tiny store located in the middle of the plaza. Once walked in, you can already smell the aroma of their sauce. Along the walls are items you can purchase to make your own seafood boil at home and a few tables if you choose to dine in. One man will take your order and prepare it and another man will ring you up. By the time you pay, your order is ready for pickup. The service is that quick and both Gentlemens are very kind. Their Nola Crawfish is really good and so is their Garlic butter Crawfish. We had 4 pounds of both kind of Crawfish for 3 days in a row. We tried to get some yesterday but they were sold out, thank God cus otherwise the streak will go on. Perhaps we'll try again today to continue the streak. Crossing fingers they're not sold out. read more

Had their crawfish for take out three times now and a huge fan of their garlic butter! I used to live in Houston, TX so I find their crawfish comparable! I had to deduct one star for the cook time inconsistencies of the crawfish. Crawfish were a tad dry the first time, juicy the second time, but a bit on dry side the most recent time. Flavor is consistent though! Crawfish Bros is my go to for my crawfish fix, worth the 30 minute drive! read more

My picks: - Nola Crawfish - Garlic Butter Shrimp So addicting I could eat 4lbs of crawfish in one sitting and still crave it the next day. First time trying authentic Louisiana style crawfish. I like it because it's much lighter so you need can eat a lott. Their crawfish are big & fresh! Seating is limited so don't come expecting you'll for sure get a table. Bring it home and enjoy! Prices are insanely good IMO. Currently 2 brothers running the show so please be patient as they're doing the best they can! No phone orders right now, but you can call to ask if they're sold out or not. I already know I'll be here every week lol... read more

Crawfish Bros - Cajun/Creole Near Me - San Jose, California

i tried stopping by on tuesday but they sold out so i came on a saturday afternoon to pick up some of their NOLA crawfish to try! they currently have a $8/lb promotion for their NOLA crawfish! $10/lb for Garlic Butter! $6/lb for raw crawfish if you buy the sack ! This place is more of a grab and go style, when i went in the restaurant was clean and new but i noticed they only had 2-3 tables to eat there so I believe their concept is more of a to go restaurant! Note that NOLA style is different from seafood boil I'm use to here in san jose, they state the difference so make sure you know as well! NOLA: crawfish is cooked in a seasoned broth and served without any additional sauces Garlic Butter: Same as NOLA but tossed in garlic butter sauce after The crawfish were huge! We ordered 10 pounds of NOLA and it was plenty to feed for my party. the crawfish was juicy and flavorful, i would say it has a kick to it! Since they are soft opening, I do want to note that it was a bit saltier than what I'm used to. I'm not sure if it's suppose to be on the saltier side since it's NOLA style but at one point it got pretty salty once it all cooled down and we had to pause on eating to take a break from the salt. If they can adjust it to be a tad bit less saltier or maybe let us adjust the salt levels, it would be perfect! I would definitely order again from here since it's such a good deal for soft opening! read more

I forgot to take pictures when they brought it out. However, it was good. We order 1 lbs Nola and 1lbs garlic bitter just to give it a try I personally prefer garlic butter but my hb likes the Nola more. The prices are very reasonable for such BIG and juicy crawfish !!! They were very friendly. The store was clean and pretty small. 2-3 tables. Mostly for to-go. read more

I enjoyed this spot. The crawfish are a great size and a good price as well. Customer service made me feel like I was back in NOLA again. I will definitely be back ! read more

Their crawfish are 1000% fresh, meaty, and buttery. The price per lb is amazing - definitely can't beat that price in the Bay Area, so we really appreciate it. The sauce options are good but a bit salty. They are super fast. We ordered for to-go and you can be in and out of there with your order in like 5-10 mins. The place is a bit small, they have a couple tables for dining in. We will be back. read more

I had my dad pick up 10lb for the family and he told me that you just go up and tell them how many pounds you want, which flavor, and they already had them ready to scoop and package. I called beforehand to warn them about ordering 10 lbs because I assumed that they need time to prepare, but they told me to just go ahead and come and they should have more than enough to order! Definitely different than what I'm used to here where they are made to order but their way was so nice! We got NOLA (New Orleans/Louisiana style) and cajun garlic butter (I believe) and it's a whole new experience to crawfish for me. The flavor IS IN THE CRAWFISH! The juices are really flavorful (at some point it was a bit salty). However, I did some research and I paired them with crawfish sauce (ketchup, mayo, other seasonings) and it was amazing. Absolutely love this place so far and I will be ordering again! read more

Crawfish Bros - 5lb NOLA, 5lb garlic - Cajun/Creole Near Me - San Jose, California

Saw this place all over my fyp and as someone who loves seafood boil and crawfish i had to try. Came by earlier to check it out, the store is small with limited seating. The ambience was chill since i came during lunch time. Workers were nice! Since it was my first time coming, they gave a whole rundown about everything, showed the sides they offered, good service overall. The crawfish i got was the nola crawfish and the crawfish with garlic butter. Unfortunately they did not have rice and usually i love my seafood boil with rice or garlic noodles, so ended up getting potatoes on the side. I ate inside the restaurant and crawfish bags came with a red plate to throw away the shells. Nola crawfish - seasoned crawfish with no sauce included. It was decent but i don't think i would get it again but it was worth a try. I think i am used to always having sauce with seafood so i was not the biggest fan of this one. The shell itself was flavorful but it felt like i was eating meat with no flavor im not gonna lie. Crawfish with garlic butter - this was solid. The sauce was pretty decent. It tasted like any other seafood boil sauce in my opinion so i was pretty content. I got the sauce in mild and it was a solid choice. The potatoes were nice and soft which i enjoyed a lot (still wished there was rice). This was by far the one i liked the most not because sauce was included but the flavor was good. However, my issues were 1lb did not feel like 1lb. Maybe im big and greedy but it felt hella small compared to what im normally used to. The crawfish were majority different sizes and it did seem overcooked (?). When it came to peeling, there were moments where i was struggling to peel to get the meat out so idk. I do believe this place definitely has room for improvements especially they are new. It was worth a try, but would i get it again? Maybe but I wouldn't go out my way to come back unless i was in the area. I think my expectations for crawfish boils are high and this one was okay compared to the others i have tried before. I think i was more bummed to realize rice was not included on the menu, so maybe if rice was included, potentially ill come back... but I do believe it is worth for the price since it is on the cheaper side.

Had heard good things about this place. The crawfish didn't seem super well cleaned and there were 2 dragonfly nymphs in the bag, which killed my appetite. I had only finished ~1 out of 6 lbs when I saw them so I'm not sure what else there is at the bottom. Cleanliness aside, it was a bit dry, not as juicy as expected. Disappointing read more

Crawfish Bros - dirt on crawfish and dragonfly lymphs - Cajun/Creole Near Me - San Jose, California

let me start by saying the hype is real! crawfish bros has been all over my tiktok/ig reels. i went in last week and stood in line for a good 30 minutes only for them to tell us they are sold out of crawfish. womp womp womp. left super disappointed but still wanting the try the place out. fast forward to today! we called ahead to see if they had an abundance of crawfish today and how long the lines were. the gentleman on the phone said there is currently no line and that they have enough crawfish to last the whole day. drove in to truly no line but the 2 tables completely occupied. as stated on the other reviews, the place inside is small, only has to tables available so it's more of a takeout situation, and there are only two gentlemen workers. (i honestly think that's why the lines can wrap outside the door) i purchased 3lbs nola and 3 lbs garlic butter crawfish, 2 corns, and 1 sausage. both flavors are delicious but i think garlic butter takes the cake. nola is good but a tad salty so be aware. the corn was lacking, no taste. the sausage was really salty so i'll be sure to skip those two sides for sure. i wouldn't say service was that fast but it wasn't horrible. just be patient. it still is considered their soft opening. maybe down the line, they'll have one more person helping in the back. read more

This place is really good, and the owners are incredibly kind. The flavor is always there, which is why I'm rooting for them and want to see them continue to succeed. That said, I'm giving it 3 stars for now because I've noticed the quality slipping a bit compared to when they first opened. In the beginning, everything tasted so fresh, clean, juicy, and well-prepared. I know they've gotten a lot busier, which is a great thing, but sometimes as businesses grow and bring in extra help, consistency can change. I noticed they hired a few people to help clean the crawfish, and it may just need a little more attention to detail. My bag today was okay, and the service was still great even though they were extremely busy, but it didn't have that same fresh taste I remember. The crawfish also seemed a little overcooked today and many were not as clean. I honestly think they may just need more support because it looked like only two guys were handling everything during a rush. Opening and running a business in California is expensive and a ton of work, so I completely understand the challenges that come with growth and trying to keep things within the family for now. I'm still hoping they continue doing well because the potential is absolutely there. I also noticed the prices have gone up quite a bit, which I understand too given costs these days. I just hope they can continue keeping prices a little more reasonable compared to some of the other seafood spots around here. You guys are doing amazing, and hope you take time to keep up the quality of your seafood! read more

I wish to be mistaken but when i got my 8 pounds the under side of the crawfish was still caked in dirt/mud. I know a little mud won't hurt but tbh it was quite a lot. I was able to taste the dirt.. the crawfish just looked dirty. Other than that the flavors and price is amazing. read more

5/5 stars!! I found out about this place from TikTok and when I saw the price, I HAD TO GO TRY. I live in Walnut Creek which is a 1+ hour drive all the way to San Jose. I called in to order 6lbs before we left our house to make sure it wasn't going to be all gone by the time we arrive, which was 30 min before closing time. The employee was so kind to keep some crawfish on the side for us after he found out we're coming from farther away! Once we came, we picked up and drove right back home, so we were hoping our 2 hour round trip was worth it for the $9/lb crawfish Overall: It was fantastic! We got 3lbs garlic butter and 3lbs NOLA. The crawfish was huge and cooked well! I do have to say, the NOLA leaned a bit saltier than the garlic butter. Idk if that's how it's supposed to be since it's my first time eating Louisiana style. But overall still enjoyed greatly. Every year my mom and I go to Houston to fulfill our crawfish cravings but now we no longer have to wait until then and we hate paying $20/lb at other seafood boil places in CA read more
