Went the Crawdish Cafe, newly renovated in Bellaire. Was greeted by a friendly host who had great communication with us since it was busy. Didn't have to wait too long and was seated by the host who was very informative about the deals and menu, greatly appreciated. Our waitress was Jennifer, super great and friendly. Greeted us in a very good timely manner, educated about the menu and checked on us multiple times! Great food service! We ordered 4lbs of garlic butter & coco loco crawfish... so good! Fresh, hot & flavorful. read more

In Chinatown, I believe it's the best seafood boil you'll ever have. Service was quick and to the point. they have alcoholic options and many many different seafood options. We got the snack pack with shrimp and Cajun rice and shrimp with no head and some wings to go on the side. I come here very often read more

Over the years, Crawfish Cafe has consistently been mine and my family's favorite place for crawfish. We always order takeout out and prefer to eat it at home because of how messy it gets but I decided to dine in this time. Conveniently, there's a handwashing station near the bathrooms to help with the messiness! It was pretty busy for a random Tuesday evening. We ordered 2 lbs of crawfish with 2 orders of potatoes, Cajun fried rice, and fries. Market price was $9.99 which wasn't bad. I ordered medium spice level (what i always order) for the crawfish but felt that it wasn't spicy at all. When I eat crawfish, I like it to be a tolerable spice but this one was veryyy mild. Lol my nose wasn't runny like it usually is when I eat crawfish! I might have to get spicy or the extra spicy next time. A friend told me that he had gone on two separate occasions at both the Bellaire and the Heights locations and felt the same so I guess it's not just me! read more

Okay okay last update xD Crawfish Cafe will always be my #1 regarding to their signature flavor (Cajun/garlic butter). Would recommend to anyone who hasn't tried crawfish or wants to try viet crawfish. Only complaint is sometimes it can be really salty or just right depending on the batch. Other recs: pineapple sausage is BOMB...expensive, but they know people would rather spend the $7 per sausage than to not eat it. It's that good. Lots of seatings/gets busy with long line during weekend nights/family/kid friendly/ has additional hand washing stations next to the bathrooms in the back. Service might take awhile, because it can get really busy. I do truly recommend crawfish cafe though. read more

I always come here once a year to get a taste of crawfish during the season because the taste is always consistent. We usually always get the Cajun fries and I get the Mix for crawfish. Soooo yummy, perfectly buttery and has the kick of Thai basil. The servers are prompt on checking in on you and there's a sink right next to the restrooms to wash your hands. Lots of parking, this is in the hong Kong mall plaza next to Ocean Palace. read more

This review is for Crawfish Cafe, North Shepherd in Houston. The food was absolutely delicious and the waitress, Augena Monroe, was very courteous and pleasing.

Crawfish Cafe - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

A Crawfish Cafe location recently opened up near me in Pearland, and after my mom and I visited, we became obsessed. Therefore, we wanted to try this location to see if it was as good, and it definitely was! Located inside Hong Kong Market, this restaurant was relatively filled even after just opening for the day. Our waiter was nice, and the food was delicious. Thank goodness I'm signed up for their loyalty program because I'll be back very soon! I ordered a snow crab cluster and a pound of crawfish, both in The Signature flavor. I've tried The Grail flavor at the Pearland location, but it was slightly too herbaceous for me and overwhelmed my palette after a while of eating. The Signature flavor was perfect for me because it was garlicky and spicy at the same time. All the seafood was cooked perfectly, and I came out super fast. The same could not be said with my mom's order of the Whole Fried Flounder. I was halfway done with my seafood until her fish came out. I felt bad that she had to watch me happily enjoy my seafood while she was stuck watching me eat. Luckily, my mom said it was worth the wait, and it showed with only the bones of the fish left! read more

Solid place for crawfish. Purchase seafood by the 0.5-1lb (crawfish has to be ordered by the lb). Potatoes, egg, etc are extra charge. You can mix flavors and add spice. Their boudain balls are so good and flavorful when paired with the sauce they came with. Their empanadas are just okay. I've had their garlic noodles a few years ago and would have to say the quality is not as good. Noodles were dry. Flavor was good however, which it wasn't so dry. read more

The crawfish is always amazing here, maybe because it's timing in the season but they were a bit small today (March 15). Our table for two at 6:30 had a 20 minute waitlist wait, waited 20 mins from ordered until getting our food. We ordered again after eating around 8:15 and for one pound was told it'd be 10 mins, it was 20 minutes again. It was very hot and fresh unlike our first order, but that meant there was a lot of water/liquid so the flavor was not as strong as it was washed out. I'd rather prefer not getting such a fresh batch for that reasoning then. read more

Crawfish season is upon us so a group of friends and I decided to start the season at one of the best spots in my opinion. I've been to this location multiple times and it hits every time. It is located in the Hong Kong Mall in Chinatown. It is a massive shopping center and parking is plentiful. Every time I have come, I have gotten seated right away no matter the size of the crew I am with. On this last trip, I came with a large group of friends and they easily accommodated us. Michelle was our server and it happened to be her first day. She handled us like a pro! Major props to her. It is an open concept but there is a partition separating it from the mall. This was a nice change from the last time I came where patrons of the restaurant were exposed to people walking by constantly. Whether you're craving crawfish or not, this place has a nice variety of food. There's always that one person who won't eat the delicious mud bugs. They have a nice mix of Viet style food but also have Cajun thrown in the mix as well. Appetizers here are great. I have had Cajun calamari, crawfish eggrolls, boudin balls, oyster nachos, and Cajun fries. The Cajun fried rice, shrimp fried rice and garlic noodles are solid pairings with your seafood choices. One of their newest additions that I had not seen on prior visits was the Smack Packs. We ordered 3 Smack Pack XLs for the table and each pack included Cajun rice, shrimp, snow crab cluster, corn, potato, sausage, boiled egg, smack sauce. If you want a little variety outside of the boils and not have to add alot of things a la carte, this is a good option. The snow crab was especially good and came with all the utensils needed to break it down. I usually always get a pound of crawfish and a pound of headless shrimp. Prices vary according to market price. Current prices are pretty high. My go to sauce is the Signature sauce which is a garlic butter and Cajun seasoning mix, extra spicy. The flavors and spice level is exactly what I crave and keep me coming back. The crawfish here has always been mostly bigger and easy to peel and eat. The shrimp though expensive is a must for me. What puts Crawfish Cafe above the rest is they mostly peel it for you as well so the flavors soak in and I can peel and eat quickly. They also have a bunch of fried seafood and wing options which are delicious as well. Don't sleep on their po'boys either. Overall, to me, Crawfish Cafe has always been a great experience for me on every visit. I will definitely be back during crawfish season! read more

This place absolutely exceeded my expectations. The pho was rich, aromatic, and full of deep, comforting flavor--the kind that tastes like it's been simmering for hours. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the portions were generous. As for the crawfish, they were incredibly fresh, juicy, and coated in a bold, flavorful sauce that had just the right balance of spice and seasoning. You can really tell they care about quality and consistency here. The atmosphere was lively but still relaxed, making it a great spot whether you're catching up with friends or just craving something satisfying. I'll definitely be coming. Justin made the entire experience even better. He was attentive without being overbearing, friendly, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great time. He gave excellent recommendations, checked in at just the right moments, and kept everything running smoothly. It's rare to come across service that feels this natural and welcoming. Justin is a big reason I'd return--top-tier service all around. read more

I've been coming here for years, but have failed to write a review for some reason. Maybe because it just doesn't cross my mind to review my go-to crawfish spot after being a loyal customer for so long, or maybe because I always leave here so happy and satisfied that I can't even think about anything other than savoring the taste of their crawfish in my mouth while it still lasts. Probably a bit of both tbh. Well, if you can't tell by now from my subtle clues, I LOVE their crawfish! Specifically in THE MIX seasoning. I discovered it probably close to a decade ago and have not swayed since. Seriously, the only crawfish I eat is The Mix crawfish here during crawfish season. Every year, when I come back at the start of the season, I think, "is it really as good as I remember? Or will this be the year I try out a new place?" I haven't been tempted to try a different crawfish restaurant after all this time, so there's your answer. Quality remains high year after year. read more

What a delicious spot to come for crawfish! Service is friendly and the space is clean and conveniently located in an area with lots of shops, restaurants, and markets. Crawfish was $9.99 when we went in early February. Sizes were good and the sauces were all very flavorful and delicious. We added potatoes and sausage to our bags which added some variety. I also ordered their french bread which added some nice carbs. Their oysters were also very fresh and delicious! 10/10 would recommend this spot for crawfish! They give you cute aprons and gloves so you don't stain your clothes/dirty your hands. Although halfway through my meal, I ended up putting my gloves to the side so I can dig in a little easier. They have bathrooms and a hand washing station. read more

The only place that stays consistent and is delicious! I come from California and visit Houston once a year and it's been a few years now and I truly love this place. The food is always on point and I usually get 3-4 pounds of crayfish extra spicy. This recent visit wasn't the best because the crayfish was on the smaller side because of the freeze I heard of. I also decided to order a pound of new Zealand clams and was disappointed. It was even smaller than the crayfish and it was kind of a rubber texture which means it was probably overcooked to me. Another ding is the service, we sat near the hand washing station and our server barely checked in on us unless we called them over. Ordered something and he forgot which would be okay but it happened twice. Lastly, I like this place because of the open space concept they have for this location. It doesn't feel cramped and I have space. It's nice because I went with my family who had children. They were given crayons and were able to entertain themselves by drawing on the paper. Definitely a plus!! I'll come back for sure! read more

I don't eat crawfish anywhere else anymore. Why would you when you can come here. As a first timer you might be confused on the entrance but as soon as you go through the doors you'll see Crawfish Cafe is right in front. The service is amazing every time. Now for the main attraction, the crawfish. So good, not one bad or small crawfish, big crawfish, great flavors and seasonings. I like their signature hot. I don't even look for the price because I feel this is the only place worth it. So many menu items, crab clusters, black mussels, shrimp, boudin balls (just recently tried and it was amazing) nothing ever disappoints. They do have drinks as well. Took my mother for Mother's Day, she has a wonderful time. I can't wait to go back. read more

I feel like I only come here once a year, but it definitely only gets better. The crawfish was 12.99/lb and shrimp was $14.99/lb (March 2024)--everything was so good. I like to do a mix of Thai basil and the mix, mild. I added corn and potatoes and it was an extremely filling meal. This location is so much better than the one on Shepherd... no clue why. Service was quick and efficient. Don't forget to sign up for the rewards club to earn points! I recommend eating early or else they get packed quickly. read more

What can I say?!! If you're in need of a crawfish "fix", like I was last night, then look no further than this place! Excellent Viet/Cajun crawfish! Comes in a plastic clear bag with all the juices and seasonings on display, ready to be picked, shelled, and slurped! lol- Service was speedy and attentive. Only missing one star for ambiance, but who really needs ambiance when eating crawfish! read more
