I heard about this place because my friend has been wanting to try, especially since they're known for using live crawfish. The owners were extremely nice and made our order so quick! We demolished 3 pounds of crawfish Nola style (right tray) and 3 pounds of crawfish w/ garlic butter + added sausage and corn (left tray). Flavor on the Nola style was delicious. I wish the crawfish w/ garlic butter was more saucy but nevertheless, we still devoured it lol. Hands down, this is definitely now one of my top favorite seafood boil places in SJ. read more

We called ahead to place our order and it was extremely easy. Our group ordered - Shrimpin Ain't Easy (2lb of shrimps, sausage, corn and potatoes) - 1 lb of garlic butter crawfish The flavors are amazing and the crawfish was fresh! This is more of a takeout place as they only have two small tables inside. read more

Crawfish Bros - - Shrimpin Ain't Easy - 1 lb of garlic butter crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - San Jose, California

This is more of a take out spot rather than a dine in place. There was only 3 small tables and in general, the shop is small. I read the reviews about inventory selling out, but I tried calling twice and no one answered the phone. I attempted to call because I don't live in San Jose, but I made the drive regardless to try Crawfish Bros. Luckily, they were still in stock on a Sunday around 6pm. For my review, I did not get a chance to eat the seafood boil until one hour later. So when I got home, I reheated it a bit. What I ordered: 1 lb of NOLA crawfish, 1 lb of garlic butter shrimp, 3 potatoes, 1 corn, and 1 sausage. Potoates, corn, and sausage were considered extra. In total, I spent about $40 for meal of two and we made rice at home to supplement. If it weren't for the rice, we wouldn't have been full. I wanted to try this spot since I heard the seafood was fresh! I haven't had seafood boil in awhile because my favorite place has become inconsistent with quality. I actually enjoyed the garlic butter shrimp way more than the NOLA crawfish. While the NOLA was good, I think garlic butter is the best flavor. If you had tried Cajun Bistro's sweet california sauce, Crawfish Bro's sauce is a lighter version. Because of the lack of dine in space, I'm not sure how often I'll come back. I need to order more seafood next time if I'm here! read more

I'm not usually a huge crawfish fan but wanted to try out crawfish bros for their affordable crawfish. I came around mid June and it was $10/ LB. The worker told me that June was the near the end of crawfish season and the peak time to come is April-May. They don't have a huge variety of flavors. I opted for the reg Nola crawfish since the garlic butter was $2 extra. The Nola was on the lighter side of flavor but had a slight kick to it. All the crawfish were fresh and sweet and ranged in sizes. Some of the small ones were the size of the large ones claw I would recommend getting to go as the store is really small and they only have 3 tables read more

Ran it back for day 3 today 6/9 for Crawfish Bros! Today I got The Splash Brothers combo + turkey neck in the garlic butter flavor, spicy. Pork and gator sausage!! Packed with so much flavor and really juicy! Corn was delicious! Especially with the sauce all over it. Turkey neck might be my new favorite here so tender! Shrimp was perfect! Big and held all the flavor and juice. Crawfish is ofc my all time fav.. duh! Khanh is super cool and very friendly! All nice folks in there. Thanks for recommending the splash bros today! Definitely will be back for more! read more

Absolutely my favorite spot to get crawfish! Prices are very reasonable and affordable price by lb, and the staff are very friendly. Tables are very limited though. Both NOLA & garlic butter flavors are delicious and flavorful, although I usually prefer to get it with garlic butter to add more spice. read more

Crawfish Bros is the real deal!! Their crawfish is fresh and hugeee especially compared to the frozen stuff most places around here charge nearly double for ($10/lb vs $18/lb). Only two flavors on the menu, but that's kind of the point. They focus on doing a few things really well. Both flavors (NOLA + Garlic Butter) are incredible, the crawdads come out massive and fresh, and the sausage links / corn are a solid add-on to round out the meal. It's a casual counter-order setup but the staff are super friendly and thoughtful. I might've just found my favorite crawfish spot in the Bay. Already eyeing their Snack Pack next visit (10 lbs of crawfish for just over $130, unbeatable value)! read more

Absolutely delicious NOLA style crawfish & today it was only $10/lb! Got myself 2lbs and a corn. $3 for a WHOLE corn-- deals on deals at Crawfish bros. The crawfish were piping hot & still juicy when they came out. The boil was seasoned to perfection & I was very tempted to order another round! When you walk in, you'll see the digital menu to your right and their at-home boil seasonings below it. Order at the counter, and hopefully you can find a space to sit. There is also a small standing table as well. The tables are equipped with gloves and napkins. You can also ask for lemon juice cups at the front! Pro-tip: get there early. They usually sell out before 5pm! Had a brief moment to speak with the owner, they've been in their soft opening phase for the last two months. I can't wait to see what their grand opening brings, they're shooting for June! The support staff are super kinda and thoughtful. We chose to dine in and the staff noticed that there were only standing seats available, she offered to pack it to go incase we didn't want to stand. But of course we opted for the full experience and thankfully some regular seats opened up later on. 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

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

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

I came here with my sister a few days ago and we were shocked by the fair prices and taste.

Note that the seating is very limited here. read more

I called ahead for a pickup order and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it was ready. The restaurant was empty when I called, and my order was prepared in about 20 minutes. The pricing is also very reasonable compared to many other crawfish spots. The NOLA flavor was $10 per pound and the Garlic Butter was $12 per pound. I ordered one pound of each to try. The crawfish itself was fresh and a good size, which I appreciated. Both flavors were tasty, and overall the quality was decent for the price. However, my biggest issue was the cleaning. When I opened several of the crawfish, there was quite a bit of dark residue and debris inside. As someone who eats crawfish regularly, I can usually tell when they've been thoroughly cleaned and purged versus when they haven't, and these seemed like they could have been cleaned more thoroughly before cooking. Overall, the prices are fair, the crawfish is fresh, and the pickup process was quick and easy. If the cleaning process were improved, I think the experience would be much better. read more

After coming back from Louisiana, i was CRAVING a crawfish boil but I wanted it to be just as fresh as the ones I had there so i popped by Crawfish Bros to pick up a few pounds. The store itself is pretty small, theres only about 3ish tables. I took my crawfish home and steamed it to reheat it. The size of the crawfish was nice and large, it was flavorful and spicy, and the corn was amazing! I would definitely skip the sausage and potatoes next time though. I'll definitely be back to order more but I'm so glad to have a legit Louisiana style crawfish boil near me! read more

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

While looking for spots to grab for our Mother's Day lunch, I landed on Crawfish Bros after realizing it was crawfish season and seeing it everywhere on my social media feed. Definitely a great place to get crawfish at a solid price point (especially compared to competitors in the area). We got 5 lbs of NOLA crawfish ($10/lb) and 5 lbs of the garlic butter ($12/lb). Prices have steadily increased over the last few weeks of them being open, but it's still a really good deal. We came right at opening and there were only two people working the back, but they were making the crawfish so quickly! Our bags were ready about 10 minutes after ordering. As far as the crawfish itself - it was a hit! Every single piece we got tasted fresh and buttery. Between the two seasonings, I definitely found myself preferring the NOLA crawfish just because it had more flavor and I liked the kick that the medium spice level provided. I do wish that they had even more options for seasonings but the NOLA and garlic butter did the job. Would encourage calling in! Keep in mind that it's mostly designed to be optimal for takeout; they have two small tables for seating but IMO probably better as a grab and go because of how small the space is. read more

Consistently so good and fresh. The crawfish here always have a lot of head butter/fat, so creamy and delicious! Prices did go up since it's near end of the season. But the owner said they will still have fresh crawfish until October though since there's a CA farm! read more

My new favorite crawfish spot. I hope this place is around for as long as I liveee. And I will continue to give them my business for as long as I live!!! Fresh, affordable crawfish in San Jose. You will never catch me paying $20/lb at Kickin Crab or Boiling Crab everrr again. This spot is $9/lb. I love getting 3lbs of the Nola style! It's on the saltier side, but really tasty. Garlic butter is also delish. It's more of an order and pickup spot, but they have a couple tables for those who want to enjoy their crawfish immediately. 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

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

The crawfish is very fresh. Love the NOLAZ. Such a steal for 10 dollars a pound. Please reopen soon!

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

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

They were very friendly. The store was clean and pretty small. 2-3 tables. Mostly for to-go. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
