    Burnt 1 Dozen Chargrilled Oysters
    Michael H.

    Oysters were burnt and dry. Ordered twice from this place and they were good at first. Don't know what happen. The was a waist of money.

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    Combo 3

    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

    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!

    Crawfish Cheese Bread  Sinfully delicious
    Vickie P.

    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.

    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!

We made a simple request to have them put the seafood on the side so we could get a full container of the liquid gumbo - and add the seafood ourselves as we desired.

I was told they charge extra for lemon pepper. I simply asked when they started charging for it because I've never been charged before. The employee responded that they have always charged for it. When I explained that I had never been charged in the past, she told me she had been working there a long time and had never seen me before. At that point, it felt like I was being called a liar. I made it clear that I had no problem paying the charge--I was only asking when the policy changed. The issue wasn't the cost; it was the way I was treated. As a longtime customer, I didn't appreciate being spoken to that way. Because of this experience, I won't be returning, and I'll be sharing my experience with the customers and friends I've referred there over the years. I have proof of some of my past purchases and visits.
