Food is good but we waited like 45 minutes before they even brought the food, staff was nice and food definitely worth the wait

Let's get started, Cindy X was my hostess. She's beautiful, kind, knowledgeable and gave great food suggestions. Keep her and promote her. This was my first time in after seeing it on yelp. She suggested the sampler which is not on the menu but for $9.99 it comes with all the crawfish starters. Chargrilled oysters, peach Magarita and garlic noodles. Cindy X was right on the spot. Food was hot, has flavor and tasted delicious. Tab was under $20 and I felt I got my monies worth. I'm definitely returning to try other menu items. I Plan to bring others to enjoy the ambiance, the hospitality and the delicious food. Thank you read more

We had such a great experience at Crawfish Cafe thanks to Damion!! From the moment we walked in, he was incredibly attentive and made us feel genuinely welcome. He checked in at just the right times, made sure everything was perfect, and had such a friendly, easygoing vibe that really elevated the whole meal. It's rare to come across service that stands out this much--Damion definitely made our visit memorable. Thank you for making my birthday extra special, it meant a lot! If you're stopping by, ask for him--you'll be in great hands! read more

This is always the spot for my family and I whenever we're coming in from out of town! The crawfish is amazing and honestly all of the food is consistently so good. On top of that, the service is always great. This last visit really stood out because of our waitress, Cindy M. She took such great care of our big family, stayed on top of everything, and made sure everyone was happy the entire time. She was so kind, attentive, and handled our group like a pro. We'll definitely keep coming back ! Great food and even better service. read more

Came here on a Sunday with some friends craving some catfish! This was the first time I'd been to this location and it definitely won't be my last! Well lit upon entering, and was greeted immediately. We got there at the perfect time, as there soon started to be a wait after we were seated. We came just a few minutes before noon, and this place was packed! We were seated and were so excited for all the things. We ordered the sampler oysters, the calamari and the lemon pepper wings. I have never had wings at any of their locations, and let me just say....from now on I will!!! They were soooo good! Whatever that batter is that they use on it, it is so crispy and crunchy, and had just the right amount of seasoning! 11 out of 10!!!! The oysters always hit the spot, and the calamari was great as well, with the coating that was on there, so crispy and crunchy!!! On to the food, I ordered the combo 1, which comes with a 1lb of crawfish, 1/2 lb of shrimp, corn on the cob and a potato, and then I added a side of sausage! I went with the garlic and cajun seasoning, medium, which was just the right amount of food. The flavor is always sooo good!!! the crawfish were a great size! The shrimp are always good, and they're so good. And the sausage!! Such a good snap on the sausage, I always look forward to it. The corn was just out of this world, cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned. Our service was great, the server would check on us often, and there was lots of teamwork, as there are others that would come by and help bust the table, getting empty plates or trash out of our way. Great experience and will be back fa sho! read more

The line is always wild at Crawfish Cafe. I think I ordered a little wrong this time, so I'm definitely giving it another shot. We started with boudin balls, and the sauce was the highlight--kind of a mild honey-Dijon mustard vibe with mustard seed and a hint of horseradish and some aïoli. My wife also loved my fried rice, which was the base of my "smack pack" (not sure on the spelling). I also ordered the seafood gumbo, a side of sausage gumbo, and garlic noodles. My entrée was good--just not great or memorable. The seafood gumbo, though, was a mess: watery, almost no flavor, and I ended up salting it heavily (and I never salt anything). The sausage gumbo was much better--richer flavor and a thicker, more satisfying consistency. The garlic noodles were tasty, too...but nothing special. My wife got the #3 boil with potatoes, crab, and big, fat shrimp, and she was happy with it. They were sold out of bread pudding, which was a bummer. One thing I thought was unique: it's Vietnamese-inspired Cajun, so a lot of the seasonings and sauces have a Vietnamese twist. And the service was excellent--my server crushed it. Food-wise, I'd call it a 3 out of 5, but the service bumps it to a 4 out of 5. I'll be back, and next time I'm ordering what everyone else seemed to be losing their minds over--the massive bowl of crawfish or a full-on giant boil. read more

Love a good seafood boil spot!! This place was busy, which is a good thing but we were seated quickly. Ordered the oyster sampler, boudin balls and the 1lb crab & shrimp, all very good. Drinks are pre made but still good and service is A1. Every time we turned around someone was replenishing water or grabbing finished items off the table. It can be noisy and is a Family friendly environment but I'd def come back!! read more

I had never heard of Crawfish Cafe a friend recommended it for our girls night. Make sure you join the waitlist ahead of time, especially if it's a weekend night. It was PACKED and walk-ins had a 2 hour wait time. One person in our group got the smoked boudin link and said it was really good. I went with Combo 3 in Signature sauce - it was good, but I don't think it was $40 worth of food. In hindsight, I should've gotten the Smack Pack XL for an extra $5. I can't remember our server's name, but he was super helpful and patient with all of our questions read more

Phenomenal food. Even better service. Vy was the greatest! Make sure you try the Cajun style crawfish. Definitely coming back.

So good!!!! Only thing I didn't like was the wait to get a table but it was worth it! The crawfish were pretty big and came out relatively quick! Our server was very attentive and friendly! The vibe of the restaurant was family friendly and welcoming! I would definitely come back! Best crawfish I've had this crawfish season! read more

Had a relaxing vibe- place was full. Service was slightly slow but since it was full & the food was very fresh, can't complain. The crawfish beignets did NOT disappoint-I would get those again. I do wish they could figure out how to put the spice of the "cold" dip sauce "into" the beignets! That would knock them over the top- The crispy chicken took me by surprise-I didn't realize they would have a batter. I would not get them again-but -batter on my wings just isn't my thing. They weren't bad... Hopefully that makes since. Hubby got the boiled 3 seafood mix-I forgot to take photo- The flavor was good but, we bought mild, it was hotter than mild. Kept a burn for a while on my lips. Not sure if that's a "glitch" since we came late in the day. Maybe the water evaporated out of the pot so the pepper was stronger? But we'd go back for that too! It wasn't so hot to ruin the taste of the food. read more

This review is for the crawfish alone!! I've tried a couple of other items here that have been a hit or miss but on this visit I finally decided to give the crawfish a try and was overall pleased. I got a mix of lemon pepper and garlic butter with extra sauce and boil juice and they definitely gave me extra which I enjoyed. I got 1 pound all mild and I was so happy that they were not spicy. These crawfish were seasoned all the way through and not just on the outside. The lemon pepper and garlic butter flavor was really good together. I was worried that the sauce on the crawfish would be really sweet due to the viet-cajun style but it just had a very light sweetness in the sauce that wasn't overkill and balanced everything out. If you're a garlic lover you would love these crawfish. My only complaint is that my bag honestly felt lighter than a pound and there was a lot of tiny ones and then some nice sized ones. It's crawfish season so I expected larger sizes but maybe in the upcoming weeks. Speaking of other items, i've tried the crawfish bread which is absolutely delicious. I've tried the wings and was very disappointed because they had a decent flavor, it's just that each one was black from cooked blood inside which I did not like. Also it was too much of the batter on them. As for the loud pack, I had high hopes but the shrimp had no flavor and didn't taste like any gulf shrimp. The crawfish fried rice was okay, very sesame oil based. I wasn't a fan of the dipping sauce. The corn, sausage, potato and sausage all taste fine, you can't really go wrong with that. The sausage is an andouille sausage so it is spicy if you're sensitive. The last thing i've tried were the boudin balls and they are not your average Louisiana style boudin balls. They are sweet on the inside and very mushy. It tastes like asian style bbq pork puréed with rice, I would not recommend those. Overall, i'd recommend Crawfish Cafe, you just have to find what you like! read more

Modern restaurant with good vibes. Service and atmosphere: Service was very good. The staff were nice and helpful. The restaurant has relaxed vibes with modern touches. There are plenty of seating options here, however, the wait time maybe long. We waited 40 minutes for a table for two. Food and drinks: Good selection of traditional dishes and sides. Our foods were okay. I order seafood gumbo. It lucked flavor. I would not order it again. Combo pack with steamed seafood was good. It was well cooked and seasoned. Pricing: $$/$ - standard prices as well as charged per pound. read more

YUM YUM YUM Did not disappoint. Y'all have to come visit these wonderful folks Started out with Crawfish Cheesy Bread = Dangerously Sinful. Omg. You gotta get some. Then we decided to split a meal of fish and shrimp with 2 sides I chose Cajun fried rice and my husband chose Red Beans and Rice. Both great choices and really great Sweet Tea We had enough for take home even after plate sharing. The service was great. And ambience was definitely family. read more

Crawfish Cafe was amazing. The Asian-style crawfish is packed with flavor -- buttery, garlicky, and perfectly seasoned. It was a full house when we went, but we thankfully got seated and everything moved smoothly. Big shoutout to the manager, Maddy, who made sure we were taken care of and checked in on us. Great service, great energy, and a perfect spot to enjoy crawfish with your family. Definitely coming back. read more

Food - expected greatness, entire family received upset stomachs. From vomiting to diarrhea, the night didn't end with the meal. Service - SLOW. We weren't checked on, didn't receive condiments that were ordered, and the waitress seemed very off put by our presence (alongside everyone else that was there). Vibe - Different! I wasn't sure what to expect when walking in - of course it certainly wasn't a Viet-Cajun flair. My fault for not really diving into the menu beforehand. It may be your thing, but as a native Louisianan - not my forte. Overall, I can't comfortably recommend based on my and my family's experience. read more

First time I've ever had Viet-Cajun crawfish...and I gotta say--Crawfish Cafe may be the best in the biz. TikTok was right yet again! Also if you're in the Cypress area, ask for Brandon. His recommendations are perfection. read more

This is my second time coming and they didn't disappoint. Let me say from the moment I entered the doors I was greeted bye 2 beautiful young ladies Lauren, was so sweet she took the time to explain the different dishes I had questions about while not making me feel as if I asking to many questions. Then Jada step up and immediately keep the vibe going. If you are looking for a place that actually appreciates your presence this the place. In all of that I haven't gotten to the food it on point 10 out 10. The price point is definitely affordable. read more

My favorite place is get some crawfish, its flavorful and delicious. Super big crawfish and great service. Our waitress Vy was vert attentive and sweet. Would 100% recommend this place ive brought my friends and family many times and will keep on doing so read more

Overall 7/10, Andy our server was really good and very attentive even running the floor by his self for the most part. The food was an average wait time maybe 15-20 minutes for the main course. Maybe around 10 minutes for our appetiser. We got 2 platters and 2 appetisers. Crawfish bread ! Amazing 10/10 ! Crawfish boudin egg rolls I would say a 8. The platters we obtained came with fish, shrimp, hush puppies and sweet potato fries (+1). The food was well seasoned, if you are going to get the fries ask for them a little longer to cook though, they weren't fully finished. The gumbo seemed like they used okra which made it a bit more slimy than I am use to but I really liked it, id say a 8.5. There we a few things I wasn't appeased to (personally) but overall I would recommend this place for a quick spot to grab some quick eats with a friend. This would be "$$" as far as dollar signs read more

I did not like the fried shrimp. The batter sucked and so did the fries. My husband liked the crawfish.

This place is amazing as always! Cindy provided great recommendations that all hit the spot! She checked up on us periodically without making it seem like a hassle and it was some of the best crawfish in Houston. Overall great experience will come back 10 times out of 10. Wonderful ambiance as well! read more

Had one of their appetizers when I was last here and had to come back during my lunch break to try an entree! I got their seasoned seafood bowl with rice instead of noodles. It came with an MP of crab legs, shrimp, taters and corn!!!! I don't know what kind of creol seasoning the used on the rice and shrimp but it was out of this world. The corn was covered in it too!!! Omg, skip the boils and go straight for this bowl! Totally worth it. MP at the time was $44. Totally worth it!!! It's tasted incredible!!!! The service was spot on! Waiter recommended it to me! The establishment is fairly new inside, very clean and enough space for over 60 patrons to dine inside! read more

Lunch date with mom was a success and I owe it to the folks at Crawfish Cafe!! The parking was fair and the location was ideal for those in the Cypress /Coles Crossing area of town. They have a great food selection and the service was excellent...we were served by Monse who was very attentive and helpful the whole time. Now the eats!! My mother ordered the Flounder and the yum yums and and thumbs up from her said it all. Everything was cooked fresh and was not cold upon being served. I had the Garlic noodles with crawfish which possessed plenty of flavor...slightly dry, but I had garlic butter on the side which helped tremendously. Hush puppies were delicious and were not overcooked. Overall a great experience and I would advise If you stop by bring your appetite with you. Enjoy!! read more

Very good crawfish and shrimp boil! Restaurant is spacious and clean and the staff were attentive and friendly. The Cajun flavors were authentic! Only minor complaint we have is the poor quality of the gloves provided, very loose and thin, but of course no one uses gloves in a Cajun crawfish boil anyway, lol read more

It's gets busy during dinner time, so go early. Started off with crawfish egg rolls, just ok. I should have tried the crawfish cheese bread. We tried red beans and rice with sausage (pretty good), smack pack (I am not a fan of the fried rice), crawfish étouffée (pretty good), and for dessert we have the beignet. Next time I want the garlic noodles, wings, and a boil! The only thing we wish was different was that we had more water refills. I had to waved another waiter down just to get my first one and we had finished our meal. read more

Crawfish Cafe is a hip, cool, and laid-back establishment serving up seafood favorites and great customer service in the greater 290 Cypress area. This is not a fancy restaurant or a quiet and serene dining establishment where famous French Chef Helene Darroze is creating a magical dish consisting of lobster with carrots, citrus, and tandoori spices. It is in fact, the exact opposite, which is not a bad thing at all. It merely depends on what type of atmosphere one is in the mood to experience. My husband, daughter, and I became acquainted with this business on a Saturday evening around 6:00 pm and the dining room was half full. Our host, Frankie, who also turned out to be our waiter for the evening was extremely hospitable, professional, and welcoming. So, five stars rating on the customer service. It was awesome! Next, the dining area was nice and clean and I did not see or feel any food crumbs underneath my feet because the floors were clean. The overall presentation and ambience of the restaurant was inviting and highly energetic with nice musical tunes spewing out of overhead speakers. The music noise level was moderate to slightly noisy which made one speak a tad bit loudly to be heard in conversations. So, with that being said, the presentation, ambience, and cleanliness is a four star rating. Moreover, we started the evening with two starters, crawfish egg rolls and crawfish mini empanadas. For our drinks, we had the frozen peach and watermelon margaritas which were very tasty but not enough on the liquor. So, 3 stars out of five on the margaritas. The crawfish egg rolls were delicious, so 4 stars out of five, and the crawfish empanadas were okay, a little on the salty side, so 3 out of five. Next, for our entrees, we ordered the boiled snow crab legs with corn, crawfish, and potatoes, the fried Catfish Po-boy with sweet potato fries, and a fried seafood platter consisting of oysters, shrimp, catfish, hush puppies, and fried rice. My husband said that the Catfish Po-boy was okay and could have been better with more fish. There was not enough fish to bread ratio which made the experience a little dry, so 3 out 5 for the Po-boy itself. However, he said that the sweet potato fries were the showstopper of his meal, so 5 out of 5 stars. I tasted one of them myself and they were absolutely delicious, fried to perfection, not too crispy and not too soft, and the sweet flavors were boasting with every bite. My daughter had the boiled crab dinner and she said that it was good, not the best she's ever had in her life, but good enough to enjoy, so 4 out of 5. I had a fried seafood platter with a side of fried rice and hush puppies. This entree was almost amazing, but it missed the margin by a slight few points. The shrimp were fried too dark for my liking and almost tasted like frozen shrimp from the frozen section of the grocery store, so 2.5 out of 5 stars. It could possibly be the type of batter that they're using on the shrimp that's not quite right. However, the fried fish, oysters, hush puppies, and fried rice were absolutely delicious and fried to perfection! The fish and oysters were lightly fried and flavorful but not salty, so 5 out of 5. The hush puppies were amazing, so 5 out of 5. Lastly, the fried rice was wonderful and full of distinctive flavors, so 5 out of 5. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and will most likely visit again in the near future. Customer service was great and service was fast, 5 out of 5 stars for the host/server, Frankie. He checked in on us several times during our stay making sure we were comfortable and satisfied. I recommend anyone who enjoys this type of cuisine to give them a try. It's not absolutely authentic creole food and doesn't possess the original creole/cajun flavors of true down-on-the-bayou Louisiana cuisine, but it's good enough to enjoy. Overall 4 out of 5 stars. read more
