Crawfish cafe was great!! It was our first time there and Adam was wonderful! He was able to help me with choosing the right sauce and order the perfect amount of food! I was nervous about the food going in but it was amazing! Great crawfish, great crab legs! I got the kicking Cajun sauce per Adam's recommendation and it was perfect! We will definitely be back! PS get the beignets!! read more

I tried this restaurant one evening and ended up having to sit outside on the patio since it was so busy. They could have cleaned up tables more quickly and I could have sat inside, but they were slow. Overall the service was a little. Nslow and needed work. I ordered the oyster sampm4 3 =,ler app and it came out fairly quickly, but the oysters were very small. I also tried the combo #1 which saves you about $2 if you order a la carte. I also added 4 lbs of crawfish. Both were the garlic butter flavor which turned out to be really good. I also chose mild and it wasn't a true mild and had a little kick. Overall I would come back, and try more dishes in the menu. Their crawfish is a little high compared to other restaurants I've been to even though the news indicates prices this year are not as high as last year. I guess you pay for the nice area and ambiance in Metropark. read more

The food was mostly good the rice was kind of nasty and the crawfish was not all that but other then that the food was good and I would eat there again read more

Service was impeccable. Serein took care of our table of 16 BY HERSELF and did an outstanding job. The food was great and came out in a timely manner despite how busy the place was. Only downside is you can't make reservations here just be added to a waitlist. Large parties can only join the waitlist in person. But our experience was great overall. read more

Decided to celebrate a friend's birthday around 5 pm on a Saturday- tried to call for a reservation- upon arrival they said their system was down. Wait was between 20-30 minutes. Waiter was friendly, food was mediocre IMO. Friends said the crawfish was good, but had a lingering sweet taste -maybe it was the flavor. I had the 12 shrimps, hush puppies and fries. Cajun fries were definitely a 10/10! Hush puppies and shrimp were definitely frozen, pre made from a bag, and not fresh. (Price was 16. Plus tax) Overall good price point for daily menu items. Crawfish was a bit pricey 50/50 chance for a return visit. Maybe I need to order sometime else. read more

Excellent service!!! Literally ten stars if I could! Our waiter was amazing! We were ambushed by a random Houston storm and she wanted to make sure all was well with us! The ambiance is a great relaxing feel! Very clean and chill vibes! THE FOOD!!!!! ten times ten stars! So fresh! They hit the spot during crawfish seasoning! Since I got a taste of crawfish cafe seasoning I refuse to try anywhere else! Other places can try to convince me but you have competition! I mean that in a nice way all smiles! Will I be returning? What kind of question is that! YES!!! read more

Enjoyed our food and our server Adam!!! Will definitely be back! Crawfish was medium to large size!

Third time back crawfish was truly not in season which server mission it was it was size of my pinky hand. Along with the sauce for the crawfish, we choose it was water down butter no intense flavor of Thai basil or the garlic or coconut more like just butter and a touch of the other half. Not sure if it was just closing time. We walked in at 9:15 PM. They close 10PM, ordered two dozen oyster, 3 pounds crawfish, half dozens, bake styles scallion oysters. I regret coming in. read more

Great spot for your cajun fix asian boil style in the woodlands area! We had a big group and with only 2 cooks , they accommodated everything in a timely manner! Crawfish as it is off season were little guys but flavorful. Crawfish fried rice was great. The star was their garlic noodles with a slight sear was so delish! Crab tacos and new Orleans style oysters were awesome starters! read more

Quynh is such an amazing server!!And the food is bomb had the crawfish Bingets, garlic bread, and crawfish!

This was my first time at Crawfish Cafe, the waitress, Hailey, was very accommodating. She asked if this was my first time there. She went over the menu carefully and recommended a few selections. when she didn't know the answer to one of my question-off she went to ask management. She recommended downloading the Mamba app in order to get points and a discount. My meal was delicious and plentiful, I'll definitely return. Hailey made the experience most enjoyable!!!!! read more

First time here, Quynn was our server and helped us with a great experience, food was amazing. Will come again.

Good food, Good service, and great vibes! Shoutout to Quyhn she is awesome! SUPER LITTTT

First time coming here and will definitely be coming back for more. Hailey provided amazing service and was very attentive! The crawfish was really good! read more

How Cajun food is meant to be represented! Decided in a whim to given them a try as there simply aren't many Cajun/seafood options in the area. The tables are exactly what you should expect in a place that serves copious amounts of boiled Cajun food...covered in paper (so you can dump it all in the middle) and spaced well enough that you're not hitting elbows with anyone. It's a subtle thing, but much appreciated. Service was snappy at noon on a Saturday and no issues getting order in and drinks on the table quickly. The food was as advertised...good sized portions with excellent seasoning and taste. I figured the best option to evaluate multiple selections from the menu at once was the "Smack Pack". The dirty rice was outstanding, as was the shrimp and corn. The sausage was good, and the boiled egg and potato were bland but filling. All in all, well worth the price for a very healthy portion of food for far less than the likes of Pappadeaux's with quality as good or better. I'll definitely be bringing the family with me next go-round, as I wanted to try so many things, but only have one stomach! read more

Total surprise to see this establishment; I clearly hadn't ventured enough in this new metroplex area of Shenandoah because last time I had Crawfish Cafe was down at their Bellaire Blvd location pre pandemic. And given distance from home it was either special occasion, or when I try to fit all the amazing food in Chinatown area and engorge myself to new levels of uncomfortable. We went on a Sunday evening, no wait, quickly seated and greeted. Our server was stellar from start to finish. Opted for appetizers to start of hush puppies and crawfish egg rolls. The hush puppies were delicious, kid approved. The egg rolls are a little too cream cheesy for me. Have to shout out on their cocktail sauce that stuff is delicious. Pound of crawfish (MKT price $8.99), slathered in garlic butter sauce, and extra spicy boil in a bag with potatoes ($1.49 for 3). Glove me and go; buttery fiery goodness. Size was mixture but the taste makes up for that. Overall I'm equally spoiled by them being up in this area and scared I may not outlive the amount of heartburn I'll endure enjoying their food offerings. Parking is plenty around the sides and back (with adjacent parking garage if you want to spend a little longer and check out other merchants or a movie). read more

Been here multiple times, and each time there has been great service and even better food!

Serein was great - really helped us figure out our order and everything was delicious!

Wow this place is hopping on a Saturday night! We called to go dessert 10 minutes before arrival and waited for 30 min and still not ready! Can we fault them for being busy?!? There were about 6 pick ups from Uber/Door Dash drivers!! I wonder what's in their crawfish! LOL!! Will have to come back and try it! If you're going to take an order over the phone, I expect my order to be filled in a timely manner. Would appreciate for a heads up if it was going to be late. Nonetheless... the best beignets!! I could eat a bucket! lol! read more

We decided to give crawfish cafe a try for an early dinner. It took a while for our waitress to come over and introduce herself but after that she was really helpful going through the menu and providing recommendation. We decided to try their crab legs, boiled crawfish, gumbo, wings, hush puppies and fried okra. Let's say it was a mixed bag. Hush puppies and fried okra were bland and under fried. Crab legs, boiled crawfish and wings had good flavor. My son and husband were a bit disappointed with the lack of heat on the crawfish and wings. The red beans and rice with sausage was the clear winner. We'll definitely be back to get more red beans and rice and give those mud bugs another try. read more

The crab and shrimp boil was absolutely delish. Nice atmosphere but, we must have had a new or the worst waiter ever. Not only did he forget my drink he also brought one order instead of two. Then had an attitude.. read more

great service today from Adela. The food always great . can't beat shrimp dinner deal

Closer to a three, but I'm giving it a four. We met my in-laws for lunch. The atmosphere is pretty nondescript. The server was nice, but I felt that she should have explained and offered corn and anything else that wasn't included. The food all came out at completely different times. We got the egg rolls and crawfish bread as appetizers. This was the saving grace for the length of time between meals being served. I'd still come back to try it again. read more

So first and foremost the food was pretty darn killer! Flavor was good, portion was good, and they didn't skimp on the sides. After I ordered the food came out fairly quickly and I was pleasantly surprised at the size. When I came in, they were running a special which included a lot of the fan favorites! So of course I ordered that. Thankfully the waiter recommended it since it wasn't on the menu or written down anywhere. The overall vibe of the place was interesting. It was clean. Lots of people. With tvs. Getting seated was a little slow but overall a good amount of people were coming in and out and everyone seemed to be enjoying their food. The only complaint I really have about this place was how long we had to wait to be seated. When I arrived, there was two people in front of me waiting to be seated. I stood at the front for about 15 minutes before someone came to even seat the people in front of me. By the time I got seated the line was starting to run out of room inside read more

Really good seafood. Lots of spice. I didn't get ice cream, and they gave me some. It is easy to peel the seafood there to.

Visited specifically for the chargrilled oysters and they did not disappoint! Looking forward to another visit soon- great menu read more
