Quynh - She demonstrated excellent service and professionalism, and her performance absolutely merits consideration for a raise. She was attentive, supportive, and highly effective while both training and serving. Her trainee was also impressive and is developing wonderfully. read more

Very good crawfish. I enjoyed my Cajun Asian fusion. And the Vietnamese lemonade was good. It was just Perrier and lemonade. We also enjoyed the grits, okra, and red beans and rice. My husband enjoyed the fish and chips. Great place for kids. We sat outside with our little screamer. The staff had great recommendations. Would visit again! And can't wait for this location to have the vietcajun spice. read more

We were visiting Orange Pocket (again) and decided to pop in here for a late night snack. Wasn't really in the mood for a whole meal so got a couple of appetizers - the crawfish cheesebread and the crawfish beignets. They both taste pretty much like they look in the pics. Although I was told they're different, I kinda felt the filling of the beignets tasted too similar to the topping of the cheesebread, such that I'd probably opt for just one or the other next time. Staff was friendly. Outside tables were wobbly. We changed tables only to find the new table was equally as wobbly. Their menu has wings, poboys and fried seafood platters. But most people were eating boiled crawfish as one would expect. I'd probably try that if we ever come back again. read more

Food was excellent! We got the chargrilled oysters and scallion oil oysters - tasty but a bit too buttery. The boiled blue crab with Tx Cajun spices was delicious The sides - fried okra and boiled corn- completed the meal. Service was very good, ambience casual. We'll be back! read more

This is your neighborhood no frills crawfish boil restaurant. We went on a Monday for lunch and it was pretty busy. Skylar was our waitress and she did a great job juggling tables from inside and out on the patio like a rockstar! App was the crawfish egg rolls and they were delicious. Yummmm. Then I opted for the shrimp and grits and Im soooo glad I did. Every bite was mmm mmm good(sorry Campbell soup) lol. My bestie had a medium spiced crawfish boil and she thoroughly enjoyed it as well. This restaurant is #BarbieApproved read more

Boil Combo 1 ($21.99) We usually just get several of these. 1 pound crawfish, 1/2 pound headless shrimp, corn, potato; holy grail spicy Excellent flavor! Shrimp have been consistently big and plump. Love that they are not overcooked. Crawfish is hit or miss on size. Calamari ($11.99) Used to be better with larger squid pieces. Last two times I ordered this, it was a lot of small pieces. Probably won't be getting this again, which is sad because it used to be really good. Fries ($5.99) The fries here are really good. Crispy exterior, soft interior, great seasoning. Kids meal popcorn shrimp ($7.99) Strongly advise against. The shrimp were extremely small and it was pretty much all batter. The fries were good at least! Garlic noodles ($12.99) Great garlic noodles! Even better if you add in a little holy grail sauce and some protein from your boil. This is a staple for us. Lastly, the rewards program doesn't always seem to work. All in all, a great place for crawfish! read more

I've been to the Crawfish Café in the Heights many times so was confident that The Woodlands location would be equally as good. I wasn't wrong. The crawfish were fresh and well-cooked. The portions were generous, and there was a good variety of sauces and spice levels to choose from. The shrimp were plump and buttery. The catfish was crispy and the fried rice was moist and flavorful. The atmosphere is casual and lively. Service was friendly and attentive. Free parking is available in a nearby garage. read more

So delicious! I visited on a Friday night after a long week and what a treat this was. Upon walking in we were seated promptly. They had plenty of staff and the service flowed very smoothly. Our server was great! He made suggestions, checked on us frequently and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Each dish was a 5/5! read more

The food is really. I have eaten here 2 times and this review is my third time. The first two were take out and this time I ate in. I normally get the fried crawfish platter and sweet potato fries. I tried the garlic noodles this time and they were very good. My favorites are the crawfish egg rolls and fried okra. The okra is not greasy or heavy. Our server Quynh was awesome!! She made recommendations and suggestions that helped us decide what we wanted to order. We will definitely be back. read more

I chose the (6) fried shrimp (panko-battered and a little burnt) and (1) catfish filet (tender and blackened) platter that comes with (2) sides. The catfish and shrimp are available blackened for all the fried platters. The side of fried rice has bits of egg, green onion, bell peppers, and slim sausage half moons. It's less fried rice and more tossed hot rice mix. The side of garlic noodles comes thickly coated with garlic-butter and cheese. The yuzu tartar sauce and thick cocktail sauce are chunky and flavorful. I tried some of the crawfish and shrimp boil with lemon and Cajun seasonings. The flesh was cooked well, but the shrimp seemed a little salty. There's a washing area with (2) sinks on the way to the restrooms. read more

I've been here several times now and they never disappoint. Never a long wait, service is always friendly and the food is consistently delicious! I appreciate their variety and price friendly options as well. Some of my favorite dishes are the smack bowls, fresh boiled seafood bags and newly introduced crawfish beignets. I first tried these at a festival in The Woodlands last year (thanks Yelp!), so I'm DEFINITELY glad this is a staple on the menu. Drinks are refreshing as well. It's kinda a one stop shop and I love it. read more

Crawfish Cafe will always be my #1draft pick for crawfish. I've been an avid follower of the restaurant ever since they opened up the first location on Bellaire (iykyk) and was stoked to see that one of my favorite places to eat opened up on the northside of town. WOOHOO! Love to see some Viet-Cajun representation. The food was delicious as always. If you're on the fence about wich flavor to get - get the grail. It's my absolute fav. For some reason I just can't help but feel the original location is always the best. Still really good regardless. The service could use some work. Our server was friendly and welcoming but the issues started further down the line. When my food came to the table, it was already kind of cold... giving the impression that it sat in the kitchen for a fat minute before being dropped off at the table. The second issue is that once the food was dropped off at the table, it was really difficult to flag down a server. It was also really discouraging to see servers almost try to avoid eye contact with us. On multiple occasions, we'd successfully flag down a server only for them to say we need to flag down our orginal server instead and then walk away.... Luckily we didn't need too much assistance, so we finished our food and went on our merry way. The food is awesome, I'd reccomend this place to anyone and everyone. If the team could work on imnproving the customer service, this place would be a 10/10. read more

My niece flew in from the UK and has never tried crawfish or crabs. This place came to mind because I had recently gone to an event and saw them and tried their crawfish beignets. They were sooo delicious. At the event I received two coupons that said I'd get a beignet with a $20 purchase so I brought them. As expected for a Saturday night, the place was packed, couldn't even get parking near the restaurant. The restaurant was busy but we got seated in no time because people were going and coming. Since she's just trying and we aren't sure what she'd like we got what she knew she would like which is wings and fries. Then we ordered two different boil combo. Combo 2 and 3 with addition of sausage. She liked the flavors of the sauces but one of the boils didn't have much sauce, it was too dry but our server quickly got us some when asked. We showed the coupons for the beignets and he said he'd never seen those before and would get more info from his manger which he did and brought us 6, 3 for each coupon, which was more than I expected but I appreciated because they are so good! Drinks were fine had the frozen margs and a New Orleans lemonade and diet cokes. Loved the playful paper on the table. We played tic tac toe while we waited in between meals. Kids were able to draw and color with crayons and they also had cartoons on the tvs for the kids and sports on others for adults. Music was on but it wasn't overbearing. We were able to communicate and enjoy our meal without a lot of noise even though it was a busy night. read more

My husband and I had date night here earlier and it was absolutely incredible. He ordered the Red Beans and Rice as well as the Salt and Pepper Wings while I had the Smack Pack. We were blown away by how delicious the salt and pepper wings were. Honestly, they might be the best wings we've ever had, EVER. Perfectly cooked, delightful crunch, and the FLAVOR was otherworldly. They were so damn good, I didn't have time to take pictures! The Smack Pack is soooooo big. Incredible value for the price. Our server was an absolute sweetheart and we cannot wait to come back! read more

I will start out saying that the service was impeccable so ask for Ashanti. She was 5 stars! The food was ok and sort of disappointing. Actually, definitely disappointing. Best thing I ate was the fries from my kids meal. The crawfish was overcooked and the flavors were lacking. Don't get me wrong, tons of flavor but was missing something that makes you want more. This was the first time ever that I didn't want to finish my crawfish, my husband did. We also had the Vietnamese chargrilled oysters and those seemed like a bad copy of the ones at Cajun Kitchen. I would not recommend and would not return to this location. Sometimes original is the only good store. read more

Awesome food abd good service............... Been coming every week for tge past 2 months. I just wish the sausage was a lil cheaper read more

We love Crawfish Cafe so much! Everything here is so good and delicious. Service is always good and the vibes are super chill. We get the grilled oysters all the time. It is so good chargrilled or with the scallions. The fried rice is always so flavorful. The fried fish is crispy and flaky and yummy. The drinks are good. So glad they added more flavors to their frozen drinks. I love how this place is so close to us because The Woodlands has been needing a restaurant like this ! read more

The food was pretty good. I'm from New Orleans so I can be pretty tough on Cajun food. Not to mention I'm a home chef (@504cookhouse). I can say the good thing is when they say catfish it's really catfish. The gumbo is a hard "NO". The fried flounder was really good. I wanted to like these garlic butter noodles but I just didn't like them. The stuffed beignets was ok but I'm comparing to home. ( It's not really a beignet but it's good to taste). The service was good they are a little slow to serve the food but it was ok bc it was a Friday night date night. We enjoyed the atmosphere. Pretty laid back and casual with good laughter. We will put it in the rotation. I will try the crabs next time. read more

Loud in the restaurant. Food is good portions and semi good flavor. Feel like it could have a little more spice flavoring for Queso, corn in a cup and crawfish. My boiled headless shrimp was delicious and clean tasting. Parm wings are good and come in all flats if you ask. I like they have coke zero. Most restaurants lack alot of diet soda options. read more

Ironic that a place with "CRAWFISH" in their name has such sad crawfish... Bummer. 1/5 for the crawfish 3/10 overall (points added for the rest of the meal being pretty good & solid service) Crawdads were super tiny. Overcooked, soggy, and shriveled. Very hard to peel & barely able to extract any meat. The place has a lot of potential, though. The garlicky Viet-Cajun seasoning/sauce in the boil was finger licking delicious. The shrimp were excellent (jumbo size, cooked perfectly & super easy to peel).... They also have really good apps & appetizers (light & crispy okra, phenomenal garlic noodles & yummy rice plates). The venue is clean & well-kept (a hand washing station conveniently accessible to customers) & attentive service. ...but ugh, what a lousy batch of crawfish. Disappointing. Maybe they should change the name lol. read more

This is our third time visiting this location and the quality in food has always been top notch! It's the place I take my friends visiting from out of town and everyone always enjoys the food and service. Our server today was Quynh and she was so attentive, kind, and personable. She provided great rec's, our cups never ran empty, and she made sure we felt well taken cared of at all times! Def worth a visit if you're in the mood for great seafood fusion. read more

Food and service was great! Quynh was such a wonderful server and made our time here even better.

The wait to sit down was an hour but apparently that's because the food is really good. Once we sat down at our table the service was excellent. They had music playing in the background which was great. The crawfish was cooked very well. We decided to go with the signature blend sauce on our crawfish which was Cajun seasoning butter and garlic. The flavor was great and they put a ton of seasoning in the bag. read more

Wife and I went for lunch on a Wednesday. Maybe 15-20 customers there. I ordered some crawfish. Wife got a shrimp meal. Food was good. Crawfish were large, clean and well cooked. My wife loved her shrimp with fried rice meal. Waitress was very nice. She made some good suggestions. Prices are high for lunch. 3lbs of crawfish, my wife's meal and 2 cocktails was almost $100. I probably would have went 4 stars but one of my biggest pet peeves is when meals are not served at the same time. My crawfish was served almost 20 minutes before my wife got her meal. I was almost finished eating before she started. read more

We flew into Houston and was craving crawfish. Since my cousin lives in the north metro we stopped by this restaurant before they closed. They were busy too, lots of people dining. Big restaurant, nicely lit, located in a shopping area. The sauce we chose was delicious, it was the signature with garlic butter and kicked Cajun. I also missed eating etouffee and grilled oysters, I had to order that too. read more

It's very close to AMC movie theater in MetroPark for those first time visitors. Plenty of parking on site. But nothing convenient. Expect to walk a bit. It's a large cavernous room with tables that they cover in paper their specialty is boiled seafood so I would stick with that. Market prices on the wall, near front door. High up, to the left as you come in. Not really that convenient to see. They also have covered outdoor seating too. All seafood comes boiled in a bag with choice of six different seasonings- Cajun, Texan, Lemon Pepper, Thai Basil, garlic butter? +? Can add garlic butter to any of them or have it served on the side. They provide plastic bibs and gloves (use them if getting butter in your seasonings bags) When bag comes out in large stainless steel bowl or tray depending on what you order, gently lift up and untwist from the bottom and let seafood tumble out. I just went this week. Price of crawfish is currently $10.99/lbs. Got about 1/3 large, 1/3 medium, 1/3 small BY WEIGHT not count in bag. About 2/3 were softer shelled. 1/3 hard shell. BEWARE they do NOT purge their crawfish. I eat by removing tail meat and removing the biack vein before eating as opposed to squeezing tail and sucking from shell because of this. For fresh crawfish potatoes, corn, mushrooms are all extra. For crawfish I prefer classic dry Cajun (no butter added). They offer 3 levels of spicy. I prefer medium as I like to taste the crawfish but still have a moderate amount of spice and heat. Order accordingly. I feel descriptions are accurate. In off-season I usually go here once per year for boiled snow crab. I prefer the Thai Basil the best. Lemon pepper second. Usually add either mussels or shrimp as crab is very expensive to be sole focus of the meal. Two wash sinks are located right before the bathrooms behind a smoked glass counter They also bring a wet pack or two to table once finished. While menu has fried seafood items. Personally I would stick to the boils. (They also have Smack Packs with combo items for those wanting variety). The fried okra is fresh, crispy made with some panko crumbs if not a bit too greasy. Served with ranch dressing. Cole slaw is pretty much only other veggie in the place. Plan your diet accordingly We have only ever ordered iced tea so can't comment on beer/bar selections. Service is just OK. A bit below average IMHO. But not so terrible to ruin the dining experience Overall gave it four stars for seafood variety and spice combo offerings. I think Mother Ship in Bellaire Blvd area better. For those crawfish purists and aficionados who eat boils regularly during season I am sure there are better and less expensive options in area. I'm listening and interested. I used to go to Crabby Daddy's regularly for various seafood boils. but it's now closed. read more
