    Crawfish
    Sean C.

    The crawfish here is really good. Closest I can get to the quality back in Louisiana so it hits the spot. The shrimp were a little hard to peel. Seemed a little overcooked but still good flavor.

    I went to this place on a whim for happy hour on a Thursday. I had so much fun! The happy hour food and drinks selections are really good. I started with the eggrolls and a frozen cocktail. The staff was great. The server was really nice. On Thursdays, they have a DJ and karaoke. This is when the fun started. After a couple of drinks/shots and a little more food, the place was alive ! I enjoyed the diversity of the customers. The icing on the cake was hearing a few kids perform karaoke to their favorite songs. Can't wait to go back.

    Happy hour menu

    10/10 I recommend! They have a happy hour Monday through Friday I believe until 6 or 7! $6 wells and many other drink deals $4 jambalaya egg rolls and other food items. The service is very attentive and quick! If you happen to not like something they are very flexible with switching something out! The uptown oysters are not on Happy hour and I see why it's so delicious they can't give that way at a deal! I usually order the same thing everytime and the uptown oysters are on that list! As well as the seafood egg rolls are delicious, they have a Cajun flavor and the sauce is to die for with a little spice! I also get this every visit. The jambalaya egg rolls are on the happy hour, four dollars it's worth to try. It's too spicy for me but I still say try it for your self. The ambiance is a very relaxed environment! I also always get the hurricane everytime, 2 to be exact! That's all you need. They are $10. The alligator dog is also delicious, I didn't get a pic of it because I ate it too quickly lol . On my last visit I got the hot sausage, I wasn't a fan I'll still to my gator dogs! See you soon!!

    I went to grad school in Louisiana. I don't remember much about what I learned there. But I do remember how much I enjoyed Cajun food! A good friend of mine from Louisiana recommended me this place. So I felt pretty good to try it out. I ordered two pounds of crawfish with potatoes and corn. I did take-out to avoid the crowd. I loved the crawfish! It was so delicious - fresh, spicy, and savory. They did tossed in a couple of "jumbo" crawfish! We also liked the corn, but the potatoes were a bit bland. The place is not too big, but all the patrons seemed to be enjoying the food. The decor is very New Orleans. I'd love to come back and try the other items, like the charbroiled oysters, poboys, jambalaya, beignets. P.s. Come on (Tasty) Tuesday. Crawfish is just $7.99/lb. What a deal!

    When I read the menu of this place, I was so excited to go and try so many different things because everything sounded so good. But that was shortly lived. The ambience of the place was average Wood. You typically will see like a Cajun restaurant it was packed. Unfortunately the service was not good. I'm sorry the hosts had us confused with another person and told us she gave our table away because she called and we didn't answer. Sorry, but there are multiple people in this world named Erica so she completely had the wrong number when we verified the telephone number in the wrong party. Once we were seated, the waitress was not the friendliest person. We had a party of five and it was all of our first time being there so we were asking what are the favorites that she recommends and she was very dry and basically was like whatever you want. She made us feel like we were getting on her nerves or she was irritated with the day and was ready to go. I get that you're working in front face customer service and sometimes people may not be as nice but every new customer should be treated fairly. We wanted to try everything and unfortunately for me the food just tasted hot like they mix a lot of different hot sauces together to call it cajun and everything was nasty to me other than the hush puppies and the oysters. I forgot to take pictures of the noodles. They were not good at all and also the shrimp we had got a pound with the seasoning and it wasn't the greatest. I don't ever foresee myself going there again and we went on happy hour and I was mad that I spent $60!

    Back again and I was not disappointed. Jseca was our server and she was so kind! Melony the manager also stopped by our table to make sure we had everything we needed.

    Crawfish Nola style

    It's crawfish season & Tasty Tails is my favorite place to get my crawfish fix. I came on a Tuesday because you can't beat 7.99/lb crawfish. To get the price, you have to get it NOLA style & even though I love the butte sauce, the NOLA just hits. Without all the butter, you really get to enjoy the crawfish and the seasoning that the crawfish gets soaked into. It's spicy and I can literally just sit there & eat 10 pounds. Unfortunately, I did not eat 10 pounds but I did get 2 lbs to go & it was even better the next day. I went during happy hour & got boiled shrimp & seafood egg rolls (not on the happy hour menu but definitely worth full price). The egg rolls are hearty and so good with all the cheese & seafood. Definitely recommend. Their oysters are bomb too. Our server, Amanda, was super attentive & friendly. Julie also stopped by our table & gave us great service. Even though it's just the beginning of the season, the crawfish were good size. Can't wait until Tuesday again to enjoy more crawfish.

    Second time. Kinda hungry! lol

    This place doesn't miss honestly 10/10! Brought my dad here for Father's Day 2025 since we always liked seafood! Service was very attentive. Atmosphere definitely gave a bit of New Orleans madigras!

    Best thing on menu... beignet sticks
    Michelle K.

    I'm born n raised in New Orleans.... Had an oyster poboy... nothing like New Orleans style and flavor... I am very disappointed! WE DO NOT EVER COUNT THE PIECES OF SHRIMP OR OYSTERS ... rule 1. Great Ambience for drinks but not enough flavor to make me wanna come back!!!

    Traditional Charbroiled Oysters (Happy Hour)
    Michelle C.

    After hearing rave reviews from colleagues, I finally had a chance to visit Tasty Tails, and I'm glad I did! Although the crawfish boil was out of season, we were excited to explore the menu, especially since it was happy hour. French Quarter Fries: Flavorful but a bit on the salty side. The seasoning is tasty, but it might be a bit much for some. Traditional Charbroiled Oysters: These were decent and met expectations but didn't stand out. Jambalaya Eggrolls: These were surprisingly good. Some reviews mentioned they lacked flavor, but I think that's just the nature of jambalaya. The accompanying sauce was a great touch! Walk It Like a Dog (Gator Dog): It was okay--couldn't really discern the gator flavor. It's a solid hot dog but nothing extraordinary. NOLA Pasta: This was off the happy hour menu but a real highlight. Rich and flavorful, it was definitely a standout. The ambiance was authentically Cajun, with vibrant decor that brought a touch of Louisiana to the place. The service was excellent--Vietnamese-owned with a Cajun twist, and the staff-the three girls that helped us were all very attentive, helpful, and kind! Especially the blonde with piercings, was incredibly friendly and helpful-thanks to her we got to try the jambalaya egg rolls which we actually had initially passed on. Overall, Tasty Tails offers a great experience, particularly during happy hour. Even outside of those hours, it's worth a visit. Highly recommended!

    On the bright side, I love the environment here! When you enter, you're greeted by a beautiful, colorful mural of all things New Orleans. There are beads dangling from the ceiling, and lots of other small decor that recreates that comforting feeling of New Orleans that everyone loves. The music is lively. They play both old and new school R&B, which I love! I sang along to every song while I waited for my food. The staff was also kind. Our food didn't take long to come out either. On the contrary, this place has a hit or miss menu. I think the key is to know what to get from here and stick to it. We ordered the crawfish (NOLA style), which is your traditional boiled crawfish and it was good! There is a slight spice, but it isn't overwhelming (I would like it spicier, but all Nola style crawfish is cooked the same way and spice level). I would've loved to taste the flavor a litttttttle bit more if they left the crawfish juice in the bag (they drain the juice and bring the crawfish to you dry), but they were nice enough to bring us some on the side. Unfortunately, by the time we got the juice, all the crawfish had been eaten. It looked good though! I will try next time. We were offered their house sauce to eat our crawfish with and it was not good. I'm not sure what flavor that was, it almost tasted like an oddly spicy barbecue sauce and there's an aftertaste I can't put my finger on?? My family didn't enjoy it. You have the choice to get your crawfish with that sauce or without. I would opt out and maybe ask for some butter and seasoning on the side. They have Tony Chacheres in the kitchen so that's a great sign!! I think this will be my new go to spot when I'm craving crawfish! I've also had the fried fish and shrimp with fries. It was okay. I ordered catfish but it tasted more like tilapia. The shrimp and fries were nothing to write home about, but they were all edible. I just wish they were more hot and fresh when I had them. The crawfish pasta I didn't like at all. The sauce separates and is salty but doesn't have an actual flavor it seems. I do love the rotini noodles though! Like I said, find what you like here and stick to it. I have a few more items on the menu I'd like to try like the crawfish empanadas and the beignets, so I'll definitely be back!

    French Quarter Fries

    The food was so good. The fries are must try. The gumbo was not my fav but I will definitely be back.

    Charbroiled Oysters TO GO (6) and hush puppies and jambalaya egg rolls.

The consistency is incredible -- the food is always fresh, the lobster and chowder are outstanding, and the steaks are just as impressive. The quality has never slipped over the decades. What truly makes Lefty's special is the entire experience. The staff is welcoming and professional, and the clientele adds to the warm, classic atmosphere that keeps people coming back year after year. It's rare to find a place that maintains this level of excellence for so long. Lefty's is truly a Dallas institution and still the gold standard for great seafood and steaks.

The first five of us ordered drinks while we waited, and the remaining couples joined shortly after and did the same. Our waiter was fantastic. He was witty with a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that fit our group perfectly. He made the evening feel relaxed and fun, and we genuinely appreciated his attentiveness throughout the meal. We started with two orders of the crab fingers, the Maryland crab cake, and calamari. The crab fingers were the clear standout appetizer, as it was a unique dish that everyone loved. The broth was so flavorful that several of us soaked it up with bread and couldn't get enough. The crab cake was just okay, slightly fishier than expected. For entrées, there were some real highlights. The halibut special and the sea bass special were both exceptional. The Lefty's pasta is enormous and packed with flavor, another favorite amongst us. The chicken parmesan was solid for those not in the mood for seafood, though I'll admit I expected a bit more boldness in the sauce and a little more sauce overall would have helped elevate the dish. We didn't take many photos because we were focused on enjoying the company and celebrating the occasion. Everything felt celebratory and enjoyable until the very end. After we had paid our checks, a few of us were finishing the last of our wine and drinks. Within moments of closing out, the owner approached our table and abruptly told us he had a party of ten waiting and that we needed to hurry up. Had he given us five more minutes, we would have naturally wrapped up and left on our own, completely happy with the experience. He could have approached us with kindness and this result would have been so different. Instead, that interaction left us feeling rushed and unwelcome. We spent a significant amount of money and were not lingering excessively, so it was disappointing to have the evening end that way. With a little more grace at the finish, this would have been a five-star evening.
