Quality Colossal Snow Crab- $13.99. Where you gon find that at ?(Nowhere). He let us try the BBQ Shrimp and maan.....They was so . Cooked just right. Who's overcooking Shrimp?? I can name a few places. Not my boy Chad! Seafood Gumbo was very tasty and Roux was RIGHT! DAT CATFISH POBOY- EVERYONE ELSE STFD!! Waiting on his Lemon Pepper Wings which I know is going to be on point just like everything else!

    My wife and I are here today for lunch and it was pretty good. I ordered the Catfish Basket which I'd give a 8/10 and my wife ordered the shrimp po-boy which would be a 7/10... we will most definitely be back the the chef told us his specialty is the Boiled crawfish, so we give that a try next time!

    came here for the $13.99 colossal crab cluster promo they do on wednesdays and fridays the clusters were huge and i ordered 2! was definitely full by the end of them. flavor: house with medium spicy flavor was very good and nice spice. my nose was a little runny mr chad bui was a super nice personable guy and i saw him speak to every customer that came through the door to make their experience that much better would definitely come back if i wasn't moving back into town

    We had the gumbo, fried catfish, and blackened shrimp Po-Boy. All of it was really good. The service was great and fast. Very clean and casual inside. The tables have plastic on top for easy clean-up if you get the bolied crawfish or crab. We will be back to try their boiled menu. It looked really good. Highly recommend.

    I placed my order on the Clover app and it was simple and efficient. You can add in your pickup time in the special instructions, pay for it, and pick up! Wings were crispy and tasty every time! Highly recommend! The kids and adults love Lemon Pepper, my fav is fish sauce and spicy garlic too!

    Crimson Crab just open and we just had the most delicious lunch. Their colossal Snow crab and crawfish in House flavor is Amazing! They are biggest snow crab cluster we ever had at a restaurant. The best in the area by far. A MUST ORDER. Also our other favorite was the Nola bbq shrimp, they was so big and cooked perfectly. Crab finger is a winner too. Definitely be back to try more items.

    Went here with the family today to try out some Of the seafood options they had. Customer service was great! J j and Chad Bui checked up on us and made sure we had everything we needed. We got the bbq shrimp, snow crab legs, blackened shrimp fettuccine, shrimp Poboy and dirty rice. Everything was fresh and delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Will be back again to try more things!

    The crawfish is very amazing, great flavors and well seasoned. Their Gumbo is by far the best in Houston hands down! The wings are super crispy! Highly recommend!

    We decided to try this restaurant after reading many reviews about this place. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly from the owner. He was extremely kind. We explained to him that it was our first visit and he explained the menu to us. We ordered the special, 5 lbs of crawfish and receive 1 lb for free. That was the best crawfish we have eaten in a very long time. The garlic butter seasoning was delicious. We also loved that they had a washing station so you don't have to wait in line at the bathroom nor touch door handles with crawfish seasoning on your hands. The restaurant is very casual. They also have a small patio if you prefer to sit outside. I over heard him taking reservations over the phone. I highly recommend this restaurant. We can't wait to return and try other dishes from the menu.

    Crab fingers were delicious!

Dressing was like water and in a plastic squeeze bottle. - hushpuppies were the best thing, but not in the shape of a ball, but a small dog turd. - on the seafood platter, the best thing were the fried oysters. - baked potato was not even good. Served in foil and plain. You are given one plastic tube of sour cream and some margarine in those tiny cups (like at Wendy's or other fast food). No crackers on table. Before tip, $63. Very sad. They will be closed by October at this rate.

This catfish is served headless which is perfect and the flavors is one of the best whole catfish I've had in ALL of Houston. Yes even better than Captain Toms which is up the street. The shrimp fried rice was extremely good. Ranks as one of the better shrimp fried rice spots I've had outside of China town. Although its made up of popcorn sized shrimp, the flavor profile is phenomenal. Let me note that as a seafood spot they also have some great fajita and chicken alternatives for tacos and quesadillas. Including even a hamburger however I did not try them. The drinks from the bar are nicely balanced and the presentation of them are wonderful. The authenticity of this Mexican style seafood spot is on par and the flavors are perfect on the seafood items I've tried so far. Oh and the bathrooms are spotless and clean. That makes a major difference in eating establishments. This spot is definitely a staple in the area and I highly recommend this place over any other major chain Seafood spot. They deserve the red carpet in the seafood space. Be Blessed and Prosper

Only restaurants that close at around 10PM. Blue Rooster to the rescue! I would easily say this is one of the best Irish Pubs in all of Cypress. The fish and chips are good here. Perhaps not the best, but they are tasty. The fries are absolutely delicious and that's about all I can say about the food as I've not yet tried anything else. I've been eyeing the wings but the fish and chips have won on my debate on what to order for the last and only 3 times I was there. They have a full bar that's kept clean, 2 pool tables and 2 dart boards. The setup there is comfortable and easy to relax and mingle with other patrons. Oh and let me not forget to mention that it's completely Smoke Free. (Yeaaaahhhh!!!) They have Karaoke I believe on Thursdays and Steak Nights on Wednesday. Ive yet to try the steak night but it's certainly on my to do list ASAP. They do have beer of course but I must mention that they also have some IPA options unlike some of the other nearby pubs that barely carry just one. I have to admire a place that carry craft beer options for the patrons that want more than just the same ole beers they can have at home. Now what I like more about this place which keeps me coming back is the service and the ambience. It has that Cheers type of environment and welcoming feel that makes ya feel a bit homey. I also have to introduce the Cypress area to probably one of the best bartenders I've seen in all of Cypress and that's Tori. My last visit there she was running that entire bar "Alone". I mean there was zero lag time on getting your refills and it was hopping that night. She was literally everywhere like a super hero taking care of guest and all with a big smile. I was able to get her to freeze a bit to strike a pose and then in a flash she was back at it taking great care of other patrons. Tori is Ms. Marvel behind that bar for sure.

We came in with a group and decided to go all in--and I'm so glad we did because every single dish showed up and showed out. Let's start with the cheeseburger and fries--this wasn't your average bar burger. It was thick, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. The kind of burger where every bite is flavorful and satisfying. And those fries? Golden, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside... basically impossible to stop eating. The shepherd's pie (full order) was pure comfort in a dish. Rich, savory meat layered with vegetables and topped with creamy mashed potatoes that were baked to a beautiful golden finish. It had that homemade, hearty feel that just hits different--especially when you're sharing with good company. Now the fish and chips... WOW. Light, crispy batter that didn't overpower the fish, which was flaky and tender inside. Not greasy, not heavy--just perfectly fried and paired with fries that held their crunch. Exactly what you want from a proper Irish pub. And let's talk about the wings--because we tried two kinds, including the Jameson wings, and they were next-level. The sauce had that smooth, slightly sweet, slightly bold whiskey flavor that made them stand out in the best way. Sticky, flavorful, and cooked just right. The other wings held their own too--great crisp, great sauce coverage, and packed with flavor. Beyond the food, one thing that always stands out to me is how clean and well-kept the place is. That matters--and Blue Rooster Irish Pub & Grill consistently delivers. It makes the whole experience feel comfortable, welcoming, and just easy to enjoy. Great food, great atmosphere, and a place that clearly takes pride in what they do.
