You know when a place especially a hole in the wall resto is good when you have to wait, and I mean really wait to get in but worth the wait. If you want really good seafood, this is the place. Ambiance is adequate, nothing fancy. Its the food thats amazing. Crawfish when in season is a must. Shrimp and crab boil are cooked to perfection. Overall, our little spot for great seafood. Will always go back to this place. read more

The food was pretty good. It wasn't my favorite seafood place but it was good. The service was a little underwhelming. They were very busy so it took a while for our server to come around each time. We had to go up to the counter to get refills and additional items we needed. They do not provide gloves so if you need gloves to eat your seafood, make sure you bring your own Overall this was a good experience and I'm sure we'll be back again read more

I've been craving La Fisherman and decided to fulfill that craving. I was not disappointed. La Fisherman is still and will probably always be good! Not pictured, but I also got boiled shrimp w/ an egg, sausages, and corn. Delicious! read more

I had a pickup order and got my food in store. The service was okay. The workers were not rude I guess, but they were not particularly nice or friendly either. I always go to this place because my family has been getting seafood here for years, but the quality is really iffy. Specifically, the crawfish was bad this time and it still crawfish season. I paid for live crawfish, but you could tell it had been frozen. The corn also tasted kinda bad. The crawfish specifically tasted dirty and was really disappointing. I would NOT recommend this place for crawfish. read more

I was kinda surprised at how pleased I was with my visit. I walked in and placed an order and it was out within 10 mins or less. While I waited I was offered water! The restaurant was clean. The cashier was nice. I was able to order in half pounds and not just a whole pound which I appreciated. I got boiled shrimp with the head on at the level medium and the Cajun and garlic flavors combined. Super tasty. It was hot, had my nose running. My only gripe was online it says we can call in and order but I think the line was disconnected or went straight to voicemail. Other than that, no notes. I'll be back! read more

LA Fisherman - Boiled Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Today was a hot sunny day and we had a taste for seafood. We loaded up and drove down to LA Fisherman. We expected it to be crowded and a wait but the wait wasn't too bad, about 30 minutes. We got in and ordered our food immediately. The waiter said their cooler wasn't working so he could bring me a beer with ice. But they had corona that was cold so I took that. We ordered shrimp, sausage, potato, corn and 1 boiled egg in the medium, house special. My son ordered fried alligator. We had 2 drinks. Our waiter took forever with our order. Over 30 minutes but we didn't have anything to do so we waited. Once we finished eating, no refills were brought, we didn't see him at all until we had to flag him down. We ended up waiting about 20 more minutes for him to bring the bill. Some people were going up to the counter to get refills and to go bags. Not sure why the wait staff was not milling around, it wasn't that crowded so we should have seen them. The food was good and hot and spicy but the service was horrid. We would have ordered more drinks if he showed up more often. read more

So, we ended up at LA Fisherman on Highway 6 for the first time, and let's just say, it'll probably be our last. Overall, we'd generously rate it a 2/10 , and that's purely for the flavor and heat. The crawfish were tiny , with the one in the picture actually being one of the larger ones. Way too many were mushy, missing tails, crushed or just loose claws. Definitely not the experience we were hoping for. For now, we'll be sticking to our go-to spots, Hank's and Bayou Seafood & Wings. But we're always on the hunt for great crawfish, so if you have any recommendations, drop them in the comments! We'd love to check them out! read more

This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. I ordered 2 lbs of shrimp, 1 lb of crab, sausage, corn and potatoes. My daughter had 2 lbs of shrimp and the fried fish. The food came out quickly and was seasoned to perfection. There's no fuss or frills here. Just great food at reasonable prices. The restaurant is clean and compact- but not too tight to be uncomfortable or crowded. The tables are covered in paper and they give you a plastic bib and gloves if you need them. The food comes out in plastic bags that you can dump on the table or eat out of the bag. The fresh garlic, spices, seasonings and butter all blend together to make the food taste heavenly. If you are a seafood lover like myself, this is definitely the place to go. read more

It was disgusting the crawfish tasted like swamp water. It was overcooked and mushy and had no flavor or heat to it.

You cannot place online orders or call in orders at this location. Otherwise service was great when we arrived they were prompt with taking our orders, and even offered us water while we waited. The boiled shrimp was not that great i ordered the house special i think it would've been better without the lemon pepper. The sauce had a muddy texture which i was really a fan over. Overall, everything was just okay. read more

I was craving crawfish & crab legs and decided to go to my favorite spot, LA Fisherman. It's been about 2 years since I've been but ohhhhh they did not disappoint! I ordered a pound of crawfish and a pound of crab legs, corn and potatoes...house special/mild. I ordered the fried fish & fries for my kiddos. We all enjoyed our food very much. It all came out steaming hot so I opened my bags to let it cool for a second then I dove in. I only wish they provided gloves because I forgot mine but that didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying my meal. I didn't realize crab legs were so much at $28.99/lb and crawfish $10.99/lb but it was well worth it. We went around 3pm so it wasn't crazy crowded and didn't take long to be seated. Parking wasn't an issue. It was a bit chilly inside but I was prepared with my jacket, lol. I'm definitely going back a few more times before the season ends. read more

My family and I have been loyal customers of LA Fisherman for many years. As fans of Viet-Cajun crawfish, this is one of our go-to spots. The restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of parking and offers a spacious dining area with lots of seating. It definitely gets busy and crowded during crawfish season. I typically order the crawfish and blue crabs with garlic butter or the house special, along with their sweet potato fries. LA Fisherman is a solid choice for good flavor. However, the quality of the crawfish can be inconsistent at times, so I sometimes prefer other Viet-Cajun spots. Service can also be hit or miss, but overall, it's a place you can't go wrong with. read more

We've been to LA Fisherman many times because the food is always good, but unfortunately the customer service during our last visit was so disappointing it will likely keep us from coming back. There was a mistake with our order, and instead of offering a simple solution, the manager was quick to either upcharge us or suggest taking our bag of boiled shrimp back to the kitchen to pick items out--which felt unreasonable and unprofessional. It's a shame, because this had always been our go-to spot for this type of food. The quality of the meal itself was great as always, but the way the situation was handled left a really bad impression. Great food can only go so far when the customer service experience is this poor. read more

8/19/25 We dined in. The food itself was good, we both ordered fried shrimp, and my Bf added the seafood boil with sausage and corn along with it. We enjoyed it overall. Customer service was decent; The waitress wasn't very attentive, but a gentleman (manager or chef, not sure) came around to check in, which I thought was nice, BUT now looking back on it maybe it was to see where his knife bit went! We werent able to finish the half pound of sausage so we took it home! Next day im eating and find the edge of a knife bit in a piece of damn sausage. At first, I thought it was just really crispy but then when i bit down i was like wtf is this a rock so i spit it out and volia! a chunk of knife in my sausage, boy was i disappointed, and man was i more disappointed that we didnt find it while we was there!! anyway, becareful when you order food at LA because you never know when there will be a knife bit in your food! The knife bit looks worned down and like it was used over the stove too plenty of times. I dont think it was purposely placed but accidentally broke off. I understand this is an older restaurant, but safety should never be overlooked. Replacing damaged/worned tools and silverware is basic kitchen practice. This could've been avoided completely, and worst someone couldve gotten seriously injured. Do better! the flavor is too good for a review like this! read more

LA Fisherman is kind of like The Boil or The Boiling Crab, except the sauce is way too salty and does not have enough garlic in it. I want big chunky chunks of garlic... so much garlic that I smell like garlic the next day and every time I burp it stinks of garlic, haha. Once LA Fisherman improves the sauce, I will gladly go back here more often! read more

Received crawfish paid dam near $100 for them ALL to be mushy so as u crack them open..What a disappointment

Non-crawfish lovers need better choices; fish plates not so good. :( I do like the vibe and ambiance of the restaurant. Service could also be improved as I waited a bit for a non alcoholic beverage read more

This is the second time I have been here. I really wanted this place to be good. But it wasn't.... I had the $60/lbs, King Crab Legs for a Father's Day treat to myself. They were like rubber and tasted horrible. The shell was soft and couldn't even crack. Even the meat was rubbery. From what I'm reading on google that means they could have been bad before they were cooked. I didn't even finish them and just wanted to leave. The positives... the shrimp were good and the sauce was good. I'm pretty sure the king crab was bad. It took forever to find our server again and even close out. I won't be going there again. read more

I love this place & it actually saddens me that i have to give them three stars. I came on a Saturday evening around 5 the wait for one was 20 mins which wasn't the problem. I was seated for my drinks & ordered my food. i didn't like how my rice came out before my food but whatever. what pissed me off my server didn't bring no limes or salt & pepper, also she didn't come back to check on me to ask if i needed a refill on my drink. I understand it was busy but these are all apart of the job. When i was done i had to walk up to the counter to pay because sis was outta sight. That annoyed the hell out of me, i've had this same woman as server when it wasn't busy & she's great maybe she was overwhelmed idk but i want better next time. The food was good per usual just have to come on a week day because Saturdays are a no good. ALSO WHERE WAS THE AIR??? it was HOT as heck in there read more

Worst location ever. Spare yourself and drive to their other location. Food quality is so much better. This location could care less which sucks because La Fisherman is amazing! read more

This place is awesome- must try their boiled shrimps. I recommend the mild if its your first time.

Usually you can expect a long wait. They have different spice levels according to your preferences. The oysters were big and good! Crawfish were a bit small but it's the beginning of the season. read more

LA Fisherman - Outside - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have never had a bad experience here.. the food is always good and flavorful! I typically get the blue crab (when in season) and a pound of boiled shrimp- Da mix Hot and can't go wrong. The fried fish and shrimp are also good and seasoned well. The wait time is decent. This place is larger than the one on the beltway so the wait time isn't as bad. We are usually in and out. read more

If I could give no stars I would. The worst place ever. Had a reservation for a birthday party of 20. Got there and we still had to wait 20 minutes. Had to wait for a waiter to finally come to our table. We asked for a menu but he said the menu was underneath plastic covering. Had to take off the plastic to scan menu. The waiter would take a few orders and then leave come back and took some more orders and leave again. Oh get this no split checks. Everything was on one ticket. We ordered our appetizer, dz oysters very very small, so small that they put 2 oysters in one shell. They tasted dirty and not fresh at all. Order calamari, chicken wings, gumbo, and fried alligator, all the food was over cooked , no flavor whatsoever. Terribly. We also ordered the boil bag of shrimp,lobster,corn, and potatoes. It was supposed to be butter garlic, mild but the sauce was the same as everyone else's our table. The shrimp was overcooked, my $25.00 lobster was so rubbery, I felt like I was eating a tire. The corn was mushy. Everything was tasteless and nasty. Our food also came out one at a time. Ohh yea the restroom was nasty too, vomit on floor and sink was stopped up with vomit. Went to ask for a manager and guess what? He was our waiter, of course he was going to have our table since our bill was over$750.00 , the gratuity was added on to that. He told me that he could not go in there but he told me that he would send someone. Oh yea forget to say that he would not split the bill. Oh yea we never got our alligator, kept having to ask for refills. This place was terrible, terribly. Do not waste your time or money here. There are alot of other better places in Houston for boil bags. The service sucks and the food is disgusting. read more

I like this place, is interesting looking, the service is great, the food is good, worth the try!

Customer service- 3 stars...They have a few new people that need more training. However, the old school folks that's been there from day one deserve a shout out. 4 Stars...train the new people please and thank you. Quality of food- 4 stars for sure its the sauce folks so "Damn Good" point blank period. Those crab legs and shrimp child... let me tell you. Keep in mind there sauce is thick and dee-lish. Wait Time- 3 stars if it's the weekend you're going to wait and sometimes the wait can be long. However, if you go during the week you have a better chance at getting into getting out. Cleanliness- 3 1/2 Stars on overall restaurant but the bathrooms they need to have somebody go in there every hour on the hour period. Other- They've gotten kinda of skimpy on the fries and the fries are damn good so that kind of sucks. When you know better you do better so let's hope they do better. read more

LA Fisherman - Snow crab legs, shrimp, lobster tail and crawfish. This is the aftermath...really no caption needed! - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

********** I wish I could give a 3.5 rating******** I had a taste from some good ole crawfish and came here. It wasn't my first time, I just hadn't eaten crawfish from here in a while. Overall - it was pretty good. The crawfish were mixed sizes, with some of them being very large! We also had lobster tail, shrimp, and snow crab. Lots of potatoes, corn, and sausage. I really enjoyed it. If anything, just wish the seasoning/sauce wasn't as thick. Another thing, their prices are quite reasonable. It's actually some of the cheapest, but good tasting seafood boil I've found. There are other places I really like as well, but the prices are a lot higher. If I could give a half star, I would rate 3.5. But since I can't, it's a 3. read more

Unpretentious mouth watering goodness. I didn't even bother with the pictures since they came in plastic bags. We dug in and just went to town on the shrimp and crab. The triple x spicy shrimp seasoning was wayyy better than medium spicy and honestly not that spicy. I should have taken a picture of shells etc afterwards to how satisfying the food was. I'd come back from some more of this fresh , plump, sensational fun to eat shrimp :) Service was superb , had plenty of fresh limes and refills on the drinks. Good food and good service . read more

This is not fancy dining! This place is just a normal looking building on the outside, and plenty of names written all over the building in the inside. I was seated in relative ease and was given a straight forward menu. I wanted to try the fried boudin, but they did not have any. I also wanted to try fried gator, but they were out of that as well. The pricing was not to my liking, but overall, not badly priced for seafood. The waiter hit me with an interesting concept when he took my order. He proclaimed that you cannot split the bill for the table. I have never had such a thing told to me, but did not let that be a deterrent from ordering. I ordered boiled shrimp along with a half fried shrimp, half fried catfish and medium spiced fry platter. Overall, the taste was good enough to warrant a repeat visit. This seafood had some of the better tasting I have found in the Katy surrounding area. This was not "knock your socks off" flavor, but not bland eating either. All in all, there was enough flavor to vouch for me to make a return visit someday. read more
