    crawfish, corn, potatoes, and corn on a tray
    Shanna C.

    I typically drive to Houston to grab decent crawfish. I saw this place on yelp during the week; however, they were closed. I remembered they were open today and decided to make the hump from Killeen to Morgans Point and I don't regret it. I didn't have high hopes seeing as decent crawfish is hard to come by in this area, but this place exceeded all of my expectations. The crawfish shell is crisp while the meat is tender and cooked to perfection. The cook has perfected the crawfish boil technique. There's a good kick when you suck the claws and head and that spice carries over into the corn as well. If you're looking to indulge in a few pounds of crawfish and feel satisfied, this is the place to be! The owners are extremely welcoming and there's a nice laid back feel perfect for a weekend kickback

    Authentic crawfish ettoufe!

    Pricey but best crawfish around. They do a proper job with boil spices. Tell them to hold the corn though as always it's over cooked.

    They're literally over our back fence and wish they were open year round! I'd eat crawfish from them every night!

    The only problem that we have is the small parking lot, and the overflow parking lot you may need a 4X4

    The crawfish was fantastic! It's BYOB and they run out of sides early but the crawfish is worth it!

    Ask the Community - Crawfish Express

    How much is 1lb of crawfish?

    Around $7.00

    What do y'all have that's good for kids? Unfortunately my kids don't do spicy well.

    I believe they have free hot dogs for kids.

    Came here on Sunday Memorial Day weekend for lunch with my parents (my dad recommended this spot!),…read moreand was pleasantly surprised! There was no wait, and we were seated immediately. You have the preference to pick lakeside, so we chose that and were seated outdoors with a view of Belton Lake. Upon getting seated, we orderered the Calamari, the Crab Cakes, the Fried Catfish, Shrimp and Grits, Salmon Salad, and the burger. I also got their Sunrise Tequila cocktail (as they were out of the sunset margarita that I had initially wanted to try). I loved my shrimp and grits! The dish was super tasty, and the grits were cheesy and delicious. The fried catfish was also great, and the calamari appetizer was shared amongst the four of us. I do not think I liked the crab cake as much, but it was still pretty good. My personal preference at least. My boyfriend ordered a soda, and it was nice that they let you get a collectible cup for your soda to go as well! Would come again!

    This restaurant has SO MUCH POTENTIAL yet it falls short every time I go. This last time we went…read more(6/20/26) it was for a new reason. It was in the mid 80s and over 50% humidity outside. We were wanting to sit outside for the amazing view. We are led to the table closest to the back door. The misters were on like an indoor sprinkler fire suppression system. I'm talking soaking wet everything. Our table was getting misted and the chairs on the mister side had puddles of water on the seats. This is because the humidity outside was too high for misters to be effective (they cool air via evaporation- it was too humid for this to occur). We asked our waitress (who was great) if we could get the misters turned down or off since they were not making it any cooler and just getting everything soaking wet and she said she didn't want to get in trouble. I said they could be mad at us and just tell the manager the misters are getting everything wet. She gave the impression that she'd asked this several times before and management denied customer requests to turn them off. It was so soaking wet the floor had a "caution wet floor" sign on it, which means management was aware of the state of the situation and did nothing. ? Management, if the misters are resulting in wet surfaces, that means the mist is not evaporating, and the misters are not working. This is a very simple concept. There are other things that could be improved. Once the sun started setting we were getting blinded so we all moved to the other side of the table facing away from the sun (and the lake). This is an easy fix- install some shades! This is a double solution as they can be used to retain warmth in cold weather. Overall the food was really good. The gumbo was weirdly gelatinous and did NOT TASTE LIKE traditional gumbo- I'm from southeast Texas, from a long line of Cajun cooks. It tasted more like gravy and had a gravy texture. Not really edible. The snapper was delicious. The basil cream sauce was a smart choice, but it also was way too thick and had a goopy, non-pourable texture. Seemed like too much cornstarch was added. I ordered a bahama mama and asked for the alcohol on the side because I've felt the drinks are skimped here in the past, and they only gave me 1 shot of rum when the menu says there is a light and a dark rum shot in the drink. Waitress said the drink already had the coconut rum in it- definitely didn't taste like it. Plus, I've asked for this before and they did bring out 2 shots, so I think I just got skimped which is per usual. There was also a 6-ish y/o little boy who spent about 20-30 mins running and stomping up and down the deck right alongside our table. He was enjoying himself stomping in the mister puddles. Not his fault that he wasn't being supervised or contained; his parents were somewhere way far away out of eye and earshot. I saw waitresses notice, but no one made the effort to get this child's parents to corral him back to their table. We love kids so this wasn't as big of a deal as it could have been. So much potential, so many oversights. I believe in this place and I know they can improve!
