    Crawfish (Live), Black Mussels
    Jennifer N.

    Something that never lets me down is viet-cajun cuisine and oh boy did this place WOW me. We got their shrimp, smack pack, and of course ordered some mussels with crawfish. The crawfish and mussels were perfectly seasoned. It had a nice citrus and strong garlic flavor. Now the thing about crawfish boils is I feel like I get tired of the salt really fast which was handled pretty well with the smack pack because the rice served as a great carb that cut through the saltiness

    Food is fantastic and staff is great also. The drinks....be patient because they run even during the week. Patio is our favorite area. We only order one drink because it packs a punch. Avoid Fridays after 4 pm and weekends if you don't want to wait. Chargrilled oysters are favorite followed by scallion oysters. If you want crispy flavor order scallion. If you want juicy flavor, order chargrilled ones. Side tip, you can customize your mushrooms. That surprised me also. This is our special local spot that came from Bellaire where we used to live before. Cannot wait to return!

    Loved the Vietnamese style crawfish at crawfish cafe! Viet cajun fusion crawfish is the best of the best crawfish style and this is the closest spot outside of downtown and Bellaire . We visited during peak season in April and the mud bugs were as big as regular shrimp. We ordered a few pounds of the Thai basil and crazy Cajun crawfish extra spicy along with with some garlic butter shrimp. The spice kevel wasn't too bad and if you want some actual heat order extra spicy. Crawfish were large and sweet and the shrimp was equally as good. The Thai basil was probably my favorite flavor as I prefer the sweet/savory Asian flavors over plain pepper in normal Cajun boils. For apps we ordered the oyster nachos which were served on crispy wontons and crawfish beignets which were cheesy and infused with fresh crawfish and topped with Cajun seasoning. Overall an excellent experience our waitress Alexis was attentive and service was overall friendly and timely. Easily the top Viet cajun crawfish spot in the SE Houston suburbs.

    I came to Crawfish Cafe for the charbroiled oysters. I was in the area with friends for the Houston rodeo and we wanted charbroiled oysters. The service was good. We went during lunch. We were quickly seated and served. Our food came out quickly and our drinks came out quickly. The ambiance of the restaurant was casual. It was a relaxed environment. I got the Category 5 drink. I was strong and tasty. The charbroiled oysters were a 5 out of 5. We got two appetizers. The boudin balls and crawfish egg rolls. The boudin balls were 2.5 out of 5 and the crawfish egg rolls were 1 out of 5. I really would pass on the appetizers. They could make a lot of improvement on the appetizers.

    Good solid seafood with all the fixings you would want. I would say it is a little pricey but service was good and the atmosphere felt trendy. I would go here if I'm on a date or trying to impress while eating seafood with my gloves on and a bib. Lol. Otherwise I would go somewhere else and not care about getting my hands a little dirty! We ordered 3 lbs of crawfish with 2 sausage links, crawfish bread and a side of their garlic pasta.

    First time going to the crawfish cafe in pearland but I decided to try the fried shrimp po boy instead since I was going to get crawfish afterwards anyways. I lowkey should've gotten it here instead because their crawfish was $3 cheaper a pound here. I honestly wasn't expecting the po boy to be this big. They give you a decent amount of shrimp here. They had a nice coating of breading and were flavored well. I used the mayo, Tabasco, and Cajun seasoning they had on the table and it definitely elevated the po boy. I also got a side of garlic noodles. I was kinda put off by the taste, it had more zest than I was expecting. For a weekday lunch, this place was packedddd, try to come on off peak times

    So glad they opened a closer location no more driving to Bellaire or the Heights. The food tastes exactly the same as their other locations, which is a huge plus. My go-tos are the oyster nachos and the Grail Mix crawfish always on point. They were also one of the first spots to consistently have live crawfish, back when most places either had frozen or kept running out. I easily eat here 1-2 times a week during crawfish season. And if boiled seafood isn't your thing, their fried baskets are a great option too.

    The food is decent BUT the portions are extremely small. $22 for a cup of seafood gumbo and $53 for a cluster and random legs of snow crab is a bit pricey. The salt & pepper crab was VERY SALTY.

    Garlic Noodles and Oysters

    Crawfish Cafe did not disappoint. Blessed to have came here on my end of the year trip to Houston. Oysters were plump and delicious, grits were wonderful and the crawfish cheese bread was perfect! The seafood boil topped it off for us and even though the crawfish wasn't love fresh, it was still amazing. I just learned that this crawfish cafe opened earlier this year and I'm happy to have gave it an experience. The service was good and the restaurant was clean. Hoping it maintains that way!

    As a long-time fan of Crawfish Cafe, starting from their original spot in Bellaire and following their journey to the Heights, I was excited to see the recent opening of their new location in Pearland. With spacious parking available in a great plaza, my expectations were high as I drove out to support the business. Upon arrival, I was pleased to find the staff incredibly friendly, and I was seated immediately after entering the establishment. I ordered my usual favorites: the coco loco crawfish and blue crabs with fried okra. However, there was a mix-up with my order, but I appreciated their swift response in correcting it. When it comes to the taste, though, I was disappointed. Everything was excessively salty, which was quite shocking given Crawfish Cafe's previously high standards. If I had done a blind taste test, I wouldn't have recognized my meal as coming from them. Crawfish was quite small, crabs was overcooked where it became mushy. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish my food as the saltiness made me feel uncomfortable. For now, I think I'll stick with the Bellaire and Heights locations. I hope this new spot can find its footing and return to the quality I've come to love from Crawfish Cafe.

    Deliciously flavored Asian style crawfish. Plenty of sauce and flavor on the crawfish and they were all decent size being this early in the season and after a cold front. Very crowded and had a short wait. The restaurant is clean and has tvs for you to watch the games. Service was good and they were very attentive. Very lucky to have crawfish cafe in pearland.

    Cajun Fried Rice with shrimp, sausage, and crawfish.
    Josh D.

    My co-worker came here for dinner. He got the catfish poboy and fries. I got the Cajun fried rice with half crawfish and half shrimp. My coworker said his poboy was not bad, but definitely had better. My rice was good, but could've used some more Cajun seasoning in my opinion. The waitress struggled. We had to continually ask for refills for our drinks. We asked for another refill towards the end of dinner and she brought us to-go drinks without even asking if we're done with our food. We had to have another server refill our to-go cups because our original server never came back after we paid our bill. I'd try it again, but hopefully we'll have another server.

    One of our favorite crawfish spot! Have been eating it at Houston location for years and now the Pearland location just hit the spot! We love their garlic butter flavor for crawfish and shrimp. Always have to pair with the fried rice! So yum!! Although I wish the noodles can be more flavorful. And the garlic bread can use some improvement as well. Except that, great restaurant, great service. They also have outdoor seating in Pearland, so you can enjoy the relaxed weekend feel. Maybe not in Houston summer, but still a cool option to have. Very well. Definitely will be back!

There are sanrio stuffed animals placed around and there are so many claw machines. For the claw machines you get two free tokens with every meal and we've actually won a time or two! Our waitress/cashier was an angle this visit. She kept giving us tokens and she said that us having a good time was so much more important than the cost. I genuinely feel like i should write this review because i don't want my favorite spot to be over populated, it's that good. The dinning area, the claw machine area, and even the bathroom all have to same beautiful feel. I couldn't recommend this place more, there is absolutely zero to complain about. The service is wonderful, the staff is amazing, and the portions are huge and cheap. This is my favorite place to eat in Pearland hands down.

Since we were in the area that day, we made a point to stop at this Wrap & Roll location to make sure it was not a fluke. And by golly, it was exactly what we hoped for! First, the portion sizes are huge as each noodle dish can feed 2-3 people. So unless you brought your appetite, you'll be needing a togo container. Main reason it's so large is because it's packed with protein. Second, the menu has a variety of items ranging from tacos/quesadillas to sandwiches, to noodles/rice, to chicken wings; so there's something for everyone here. And third, the flavors/taste of the eats. The combination fried udon is packed with shrimp/chicken/filet and all the meats are tender along with the noodles and veggies with this sweet/sour/spicy flavor that will knock out your taste buds. From what I read, all the noodle/rice dishes are similar to this. I also saw someone get the quesadilla which was huge and they immediately went silent when eating it cause they couldn't stop stuffing it in their mouth. There's no doubt I plan to return and I hope they expand closer to our neck of the woods in the Heights area. That's a wrap cause they're on a roll!
