This was probably our 4 visit here overall but first in 2026 crawfish season. Upon walking in the…read morehost/ servers were very personable and full of character. We received the shrimp & crab relatively fast; perfect texture and flavor. Everything was juicy and easy to peel. Our server forgot our 4lb crawfish order probably because we had been talking flavors etc no biggie it was fixed quickly..... however after our crawfish was rush ordered it came out with dark red shells that were super hard. Generally this is from it being served right after its required boil cook time and NOT soaking for the additional 20-30 minutes needed to soften the shells and soak up the flavor. The crawfish were extremely difficult to peel and many stuck the inside of the shells another indication that it wasn't post soaked. I asked the server to ask the kitchen if our batch had been post soaked or straight from the boiler... he came back letting me know that they told him "well it's the end of the season and that's probably why they're OFF".... this response is utterly insane to me as we eat crawfish several times a week allllllll through the season and 3 places just in last 7 days and they were easy to peel and around the same size as these. It's not the servers fault at all; he offered to bring something else but my husband was already fighting his way through the bag and after the horrible excuse from the kitchen I'm just gonna stop somewhere else on the way home. I'm not ok with wasted food or money as crawfish is a waste when it's stuck in the shells. Please post soak your crawfish as it's such an easy fix.

Ambiance is great, music playing in the background, place is clean and their AC is working! Since we are in Houston let's give them an extra point for having their AC working at a cool temperature!

It wasn't ready when I got there but I was ok because I wanted it fresh. Ordered shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes and snow crab. Combo sauce and medium spice. There was plenty of food. We had about 6 pc of corn, and 12 potatoes. Two of us ate twice with even more leftover. They do not take tap to pay, need the physical card and they have daily specials that might have been better than menu prices. Check the daily specials before ordering. The place was empty on sat afternoon. Not sure why it's not crowded, it's a nice place. I used the restroom while I waited.

The crawfish had a nice spicy kick and plenty of seasoning, with enough heat to keep things interesting without being overwhelming. Definitely the reason to come here. The fried rice, however, was a letdown. It was a large portion but lacked flavor and felt pretty bland compared to the crawfish. It worked as a filler side but wasn't something I'd order again.

NEVER EVER going back here again!!! And here's why …read more.. HORRIBLE and completely INFLEXIBLE kitchen staff - speaks ZERO English (or conveniently PRETENDS not to ...) and unable to communicate and understand the front of house service staff ... We called and wanted to make a VERY SIMPLE request to order a large SEAFOOD gumbo to go (at the OUTRAGEOUSLY overpriced cost of $9.69) ... We made a simple request to have them put the seafood on the side so we could get a full container of the liquid gumbo - and add the seafood ourselves as we desired. OTHERWISE they fill the container with so much other stuff than the liquid, we get home with almost zero gumbo liquid ... and this has happened on MULTIPLE occasions!!! ... ... which wouldn't be such an issue ... IF ... they only included SEAFOOD ... BUT!!! ... They fill the container with so much SAUSAGE, you hardly get any seafood ... SEE PICTURE! ... Above that, NOWHERE does it say on their menu that sausage is included ... That's FALSE ADVERTISING!!! ... We proceeded to order the large SEAFOOD gumbo and it should ONLY have SEAFOOD in it .... SHEESH!!! ... We get it home and it is filled primarily with sausage ... AGAIN ... We get there and asked to have it made the way we originally requested ... and the server goes to the kitchen and brings back a small container of just the gumbo liquid ... AND we find out the kitchen staff / owner (?) is making HER pay for the container of liquid out of her own pocket!!! WHO DOES THAT!!!??? ESPECIALLY when THEY are the ones who didn't fulfill our original request .... she quite literally had to take out her own wallet and actually pay for OUR gumbo liquid!!!... That is OUTRAGEOUS and COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! THEY are the ones who could've followed the original instructions - not her - and they have the gall to make her pay for it!!! All this to say we will NEVER return due to this level of INCOMPETENCY ... If you eat here - you've been warned! Don't waste your time or hard-earned money on this JOKE of a restaurant!!! They DO NOT deserve to even be in business with this level of incompetency and complete DISREGARD for their customers! Also see copy of receipt for validity of our complaint...

I visited here since it's fairly new, and I was craving crawfish. This restaurant is clean and…read morespacious, unlike most of the other older crawfish places along veterans memorial. They have mostly vietnamese seafood, boiled seafood, oysters, American seafood, wings, some cajun dishes, 4 versions of viet hot pot, and seafood platters (3 boiled and 1 fried). They were running the buy 5 lbs and get 1 free.....for 7.95/lb, so I ordered that. I also tried the blood clams. You get 6 with your order and 2 dipping sauces. Overall, I liked the crawfish and the sizes were pretty decent too. My one regret was to order spicier next time. Service was decent since the restaurant wasn't too busy during my visit. If it was super busy I could see how it would be much slower. I would definitely come back again if I was craving crawfish.

I had a bad experience 2x and stopped coming. Today, I ordered 3 pounds of crawfish...mild, house flavor. The temp and the flavor was on point. No denying the flavor. A lot of my crawfish had no tails. At least a 1/2 pound or a little more. The crawfish was overcooked a decent hard to peel. It is a 2pound minimum, which is fine. I asked for 2 pounds of the house special and 1 pound of Thai basil. I was told I had to get another pound of the Thai basil or the 3 pounds would have to be one flavor. Nowhere stated that. I feel like my waitress was just trying to get me another pound. Then, they only checked on me 1x. I got quickly reminded why I stopped coming.

I'm missing fresh crawfish season so I thought I'd review one of my better outings this past…read moreseason. I am a huge Crawfish Cafe fan in general, but this was my first time visiting this location. It's a very nice location in what looks to be a newer shopping center. There's tons of parking available. I can't remember exactly what day we came, but it was pretty busy at lunch time. Luckily we were able to be seated right away at a booth. Service was great from start to finish. Our main goal eating here that day was to convince our out of state friend how great crawfish is. Her one experience before wasn't great but I knew coming to Crawfish Cafe would change her mind. We started off with a few of my favorite appetizers. First off was some a sampler of oyster. I'm more of a chargrilled oyster fan and that was my favorite of the bunch even though they were all good. I just gotta have calamari anywhere I go. They do it really well here and add some Cajun flair to theirs. We also shared some of the wings. They do more of a dry Cajun rub and it is very good. Two of us went with boil combos. I like the Combo 1 which comes with 1 pound of crawfish, 1/2 a pound of shrimp, 1 corn and 1 potato. It's the right amount of food for me since I am a slow peeler. I also added a sausage link. My go to for sauces is the signature house blend which is a combination of their garlic butter and kickin' Cajun. It always hits the spot. The day we came, the crawfish were big and easy to peel. The sauce was on point and it had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Our out of town guest had the etouffee and loved it, but also loved some of our boiled crawfish as well. I think we did a solid job of converting a once crawfish hater thanks to Crawfish Cafe. This location was great and I would happily come back next time I am in the area.

CITRUS HEAT CRAWFISH (medium heat): Strong kick when dipped in the juice at the bottom of the bag. Good flavor, but doesn't compare to my favorite crawfish flavor (The Mix at Crawfish Cafe). Large to medium-sized crawfish (late May). GARLIC BUTTER MUSSELS (mild heat): Really good! Large to medium-sized mussels. RAW OYSTERS: They were fine. Not bad, not particularly great. The word that came to mind was lackluster. I know they're gulf oysters, but I've had much better gulf oysters. Large to medium-sized. No small ones. Came with 1 small lemon slice and 4 small lime slices. LOBSTER BURGER: Really good! Great flavor! Good, brioche bun! Felt loaded! They didn't skimp on lobster meat. I saw a whole small claw in there! Appreciated the toothpick to keep it all together as much as possible. Would've been pretty messy without it. The FRIES were really good as well! Lightly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and well-seasoned. GUMBO: This was not very good. The rice was fully submerged under the gumbo, not on the side. The rice was also a little hard/undercooked. The meats were bland. The gumbo soup was very thin, like water (I prefer it thicker in consistency). On the bright side, the soup was flavorful.

First time trying this spot. This spot was selected by a guy friend for a meet and greet and I'm…read moreglad he selected this placed which was on my bookmark. Service from Avi was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. We both ordered the Salmon Orleans plate. Which comes with a large ounce of fried Salmon on a bed a dirty rice and topped with a crawfish cheese sauce, which could've had a bit more. The fried had a nice crisp batter. This was delicious and worth the price. I ate from this plate twice. My newly friend also added some sides, of red beans and rice, & Mac n cheese. He had me sample both, I didn't really care for either of them. But i did enjoy the red beans better than the Mac and cheese. The Mac had this dust topping of paprika or cayenne pepper. I'm believe it was for presentation but it was a bit of confusion for me. The strawberry lemonade was extra sweet from what my table guest expressed. I'll def return. I love the wall art of NOLA on the walls, feels as if you're in the city of spirits. My favorite was the voodoo egg rolls $16, which are two large egg rolls cut in halves. Which presented in 4. With one sauce. It was amazing. I def will ordered these beauties again. The menu had space for opportunity. It definitely needs to be updated with deception details like the egg rolls amount. When comes with the salmon Orleans.

Getting to the location was quite easy, parking was super easy as well, it is in a small shopping center. As I went inside, I could smell the food, and I knew it was going to be good. I was greeted by a younger guy who handed me the menu, but fortunately, I already knew what I wanted! Which was one of everything! But, I was solo on this day, so I had to have some restraint! I chose to go with the catfish basket, with 2 filets, fries (cajun), a side of mac and cheese, and a side of their specialty sauce that comes with crawfish! I had an appointment I was going to next, and I didn't think about how long it would take, but fortunately, it didn't take long at all. They drop the food to cook after you order, which I love!!! The catfish and fries were piping hot when they came out. Seasoned just perfectly for my taste! I'm glad I went with the two, so that I could take the other one home for later!!! I don't know how they season the fish, but keep doing what you're doing! I got the mac and cheese, it looked super good. It was cheesy and had the cheese pull that we all know and love. It wasn't my most favorite dish, it was missing a little something. BUT!!! When I added the side sauce with the crawfish in it, it became my favorite! Something about that combo just works! I believe it's the sauce they use in one of their pastas, but don't quote me on that! The sauce I used as a dip for everything, fries, mac and catfish. It is worth getting! All in all, loved everything about this place. It reminds me a little of some of the places I used to go to growing up in Memphis. Family vibe, packing lots of flavors, good music going, and just good everything. Will be back to try more of the menu!
