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!
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
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!
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)!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
super good priced crawfish and fresh. Flavor is amazing no matter the style. Staff and service was amazing and super enjoyable to talk to.
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.
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!
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
aiiiiiiight nola! i see you . i'm gonna have throw my hands up on this one. this place of good and delicious! . we popped in today when it just barely opened. got to meet one of the brothers. sorry i didn't get your name, but you were very welcoming and i loved the hospitality you gave. very inviting to come in and chat you know? he told us about his background and you know this girl already went and read up on their bio. i was already hooked on the nola part. . he told us that it was towards the end of the season of crawfish so they weren't gonna be big. but not gonna lie i was gonna stay and still get my hands on some anyways before i left cause come on, nola in cali? pleaseeeeee you ain't gonna find that here. glad that they opened a place here. let's just say we'll be definitely coming back! . we ordered the the big easy.... heyyy that shit came out pretty hefty! loved it. we took it home to eat and we mostly devoured it all. the sausage was good. i mean i was hooked on pork and alligator sausage! he told it was nola style to dip it in some ketchup and mayo mix along with the potatoes too. potatoes were super soft and the sausage was good. the corn.... we ain't talking about small corn. we got like two ears of corn. soft and sweet and just dip it in that garlic butter sauce they have ooooh it was a good. . after digging into the bag and the sauce was like literally all over my arm.... let's just say finger licking good was about the right word for it. . well needless to say i we definitely will come back. oh i hope they have crab soon! ahhhhhh can't wait for crab season to role in again! 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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

Does the NOLA style contain any butter in the boil?
No butter at all in NOLA style. Honestly, doesn't need it. NOLA seasoning is good as is!
