The Boot - Crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great cajun sports bar, good food and fun apmosphere. Great place to watch college football or the Astros.

I've been coming here for years, mainly for boiled crawfish but they have a pretty solid menu year round. They have really good Louisiana style spicy boiled crawfish when in season and their seasoned fries are some of my favorites around. The poboys are also good with fresh French bread. The red beans and rice were watery and bland so I wouldn't get that again but am usually not disappointed with much on their menu. Most of the seating is outdoors but they do have a small indoor air conditioned area. It's also a great place for Saints game days. They have a DJ playing all the Louisiana classics during commercial breaks. read more

Once you enter The Boot, you've entered a mini Tigerland. The Boot is decked out with Louisiana beer decor, sadly, no gators in sight. You order your food & drinks at the bar, and wait at an open table where they will bring you your food. The Boot boils their crawfish cajun-styled, though not very flavorful or spicy (in my opinion). Currently, the crawfish is at $8.99/lb. I will say the crawfish étoufée... wow. *chef's kiss* like butter. read more

He is ruining it...ugh. We like the guy that just plays the music when it applies situationally! read more

The Boot - a group of people sitting at picnic tables - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great crawfish, po boys and place to hang out on a nice day! One of my favorite spots.

went to get a beer and some food to go. As I walked in, some guy standing at the front (bouncer?), muttered "another goddamn fag". I asked him to repeat what he said and he told me he would kick my ass in the parking lot. Turned around to leave, and he called out "good riddance faggot". I was wearing knee length shorts, a plain undershirt, tennis shoes. I do have long hair, but why is that enough to be humiliated like that? read more

3/5 for food/service 5/5 for patio atmosphere Service is essentially non existent. On a busy day, they rush to take your order at the counter when you walk in and the food runners drop it off via numbers. They allow cars to double park because the lot is really small. Definitely not ideal. It's a lively bar. Patio is really pleasant on a pretty afternoon. The food is mediocre in my opinion. The po-boy was lacking in seasoning and it was super dry. I really hate the shrimp is still veined (poop), especially for $15 a sandwich. The seasoning on the fries is really good. The dirty rice and pickles were just okay. If you want exceptional food, order the crawfish and beer and leave the rest of the menu to other restaurants. read more

Great crawfish in Houston as well as the snow crab legs. They definitely know how to boil

LOVE IT HERE GREAT CRAWFISH AND GREAT PARKING! I wish they had frozen margaritas but the ones on the rocks will do I also wish they had fans that'll actually cool you down in the summer maybe the ones you can put ice in & it'll blow out a cool breeze. read more

The Boot - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Seemed like a cool place. Mainly all outdoor seating which is ok when it isn't the TX summer!! You order at the bar, has a divey feel to the place. They serve food which basically comes all out of a food truck, crawfish, poboys, think southern seafood. No draft beer, do have liquor. Plenty of TVs outside. read more

The best crawfish in Houston no doubt about it. The service is superb and very on it. The ambiance is 2nd to none. Tommy and everyone at THE BOOT provide everything you'll need for an overly enjoyable meal. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! read more

This is some of the best spicy Louisiana style crawfish I've had in Houston . They have a nice patio area with heaters and fans so perfect for any weather . I tried their hurricane beverage which was also pretty good. My only complaint was the sausage . Although it was delicious in my opinion it doesn't pair well with crawfish . It was good though. read more

The Boot - Crawfish, corn , potatoes , and sausage - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Patio and indoor seating created for a fun environment. Crawfish currently $8.99 per pound. Great Cajun flavor. If you're not a fan of spicy, the dip helps cool down the spice of the crawfish. Don't waste your money on the butter. The dirty rice lacked luster. Overall, would recommend for a good crawfish meal. read more

The Boot - Ceremonial crawfish toast before the first bite - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is a great summer spot for some delicious Cajun food. I am only giving it 4/5 stars due to the fact that the crawfish was not boiled with the seasoning, the seasoning was placed on top of the crawfish. That's the biggest no no in my book for an establishment who prides themselves on boiled crawfish. They have been taking several social distancing precautions. They have plenty of outdoor seating, handwashing stations outside on the patio, and 6FT line area for ordering food and drinks. They are limiting groups of less than ten as well. read more

Probably the best tasting crawfish I have had in Houston! The water is seasoned and not the outside of the crawfish. But y'all it isn't time yet. They are really small and it takes so much work to eat it when they are this small. They are a bit pricey. read more

I'm a seasonal customer during the crawfish months. Look, the food is excellent. Not a fan of the red beans and rice, always dry but other than that the food tastes 100% cajun/creole. The service is great outside of the lines being slow sometimes, if you know what you want the exchange is friendly and quick. Ambiance., outdoor seating and TVs at every angle for watching sports plus music. It really can't get better than that. The ownership. Yeah. Not a fan. Master of his domain type. Had friends tell me about the arrogance but never experienced firsthand until there was a long wait for my food, which is fine, finally received and had a crawfish dip missing. I wasn't going to let them get cold waiting in a 10 deep line, I went up to the counter to ask one of the bartenders.. Before they can ask me, he storms up with a demand to know why I skipped the line. I deadpan responded. He got me the crawfish dip and added "oh they probably didn't hear you" as he handed it over. Great. Thanks. Why are you trying to flex on a customer and make it about who was wrong? I just want to eat and go home. I've been back at least a half dozen times since then. But I am a true seasonal patron because of the above. I'm willing to overpay for crawfish if the food is good but I watched him bully a customer the other day and didn't like it one bit. Come here. Eat the food. It's delicious. Stay away from the owner though. He's a clown. read more

The food is overpriced for the portions. We ordered the fish and shrimp platter and it had one small fish and five small shrimp and a side for $17. (Can get much better at Flying Fish down the street.) Service sucked. We had to order at the bar. We were standing at the bar waiting to order and the bartender was flirting with other ladies instead of waiting on us. Additionally, once we had our food delivered at our table we asked for condiments and were advised that we had to get those at the bar. So then we had to wait at the bar to request those items. SMH. read more

Wow this was a nice place. Great costumer service--nice woman. However, the rumors are true; the gumbo is very, very watery, almost ruinunng the experience. Nevertheless, I would recommend just don't purchase the gumbo. Nevermind it's pretty good. read more

This is a great place to watch the games and hang out with friends! It has always been open so if you're concerned about Covid-19..it's pretty much all outside except for a small section. And of course the tables are covered with umbrellas..to protect you from the heat while you enjoy some of the best crawfish in Houston. They don't have a large menu and most people that I bring here that don't eat crawfish say the other food is just mediocre. Now I will say the chicken and sausage gumbo is a good appetizer to try and the bread pudding is amazing! read more

The Boot - Perfect time - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came back after a few years with hope! Nope!! Bartender was condescending and purposely took orders from people standing behind me in line. Still charging 8.99 a pound for crawfish when it's late in the season and prices have dropped. I guess ordering 17lbs over the night for a birthday party makes you easy to ignore. Ole Billy the manager (not sure that's his title/roll) just witnessed and had a ho hum attitude. Bartender might be his significant other or hopes of. Will not be back. So many other establishments trying to do things right in the area. Try them first before you settle. read more

It is hard to find authentic cajun food outside of Louisiana. Yet this restaurant has far exceeded my expectations. As a critic of the culinary arts, I have extremely high standards for any chef who prepares seafood, most especially when so far inland. The chef(s) who have prepared mine and my party's meals this evening have done more than an excellent job. Both the shrimp and crab were prepared to perfection. Serving this in cajun fashion is more than boiling and serving, and these chefs have perfected the talent. The vegetables were prepared and seasoned above and beyond my expectations. The serving staff and hostess at the front had the upmost professional attitude and service. I highly recommend this location to all. read more

Ate here on the recommendation from a friend who lives in Houston. The wait for food wasn't too long. Our group ordered a crawfish boil and crawfish po boy. Everything was seasoned just right with Texas size portions. What's shown is 3 pounds which was more than enough. read more

Open air, super cool space. There is a small indoor space with air conditioning, but the thing to do is sit outside and enjoy the music and ambience. Service was fast. Their staff was super laid back and polite. We came here for the crawfish. It was good, although I would like it a little more flavorful and spicy (LOL, the crawfish in NOLA deliciously burned the inside of my mouth )! I do have to admit that these "large size" (in my short experience with these yummy things) are a lot more enjoyable than the tiny ones. Working so hard to get that tail out sometimes frustrates me. Soooo, getting more meat every time I sit there and crack away at the shell, is a big plus! Boots lets you choose add-ons like the corn on the cob, potatoes, sausage, etc. I stuck to only sausage and wasn't disappointed. We ordered a side of potato salad and I liked the bacon mixed in. The live music was a good although, I'm not really a Blues guitar fan, I could appreciate the artists playing and everyone around us seemed to be enjoying it. read more

Meh...dey boil shrimp and crawfish pretty good them. Could use more spice if you ask me, me. The staff comes across fatigued doe.

Crawfish season is upon us! The Boot is a spectacular location to get yourself a couple pounds of delicious mud bugs. This establishment provides ample parking and quick service. My wife and I ordered three pounds of crawfish, two pieces of corn, two links of sausage, and four potatoes for $37! The crawfish were the biggest, juiciest, and tastiest helpings I've had yet in Houston. We like our crawfish spicy so, we added some Cajun seasoning which was provided by The Boot. If you are looking for reasonably priced and massive crawfish, come check this place out! read more

Went in for crawfish but ended up staying for the po-boys, gumbo, and the BEST bread pudding I've ever had. Great local spot if you're looking for a place to drink and not be packed in like sardines and paying $18 for a cocktail. The big tvs outside are perfect for watching football. read more

Oh da Boot. If you're in the mood for some glorious patio time - with plenty of food to boot! - this Heights watering hole is a great option. The two only complaints I have: the bar and restroom situation. There is only one bar with a handful of bartenders serving dozens and dozens and dozens of people thirsty people. As for the restroom - well, there is only one male and female stall. And ladies, you know that line is loooooong. And after drinking a couple of beers, you'll find yourself in line much longer than actually enjoying the patio. Parking can be another issue, but do yourself a favor and go early or on a weekday. The Boot is NOT dog-friendly, but they are kid friendly. Lots and lots of kiddos. Crawfish is good, beers are cold, food comes out fast. read more

Festive atmosphere for family fun. Large outdoor area was super noisy because the place was packed. Lots of kiddos running around, just a warning if you are going there for hair of the dog!! The crawfish were good, but had to wait around 35 minutes. I need to try again when they aren't jammed read more

Freshest crawfish I've had this season. SO good. I'm a bit of a crawfish snob/fiend and holy mudbugs their's are DANK (In the best way). The crawfish themselves were a great size and so tender!! Cooked to perfection. I couldn't get enough!! I went for heads, claws, joints... ERRYTHANG. I enjoyed some wine and finished the meal with the bread pudding. Yas, yas, and YAAAAAAS! Boogie on down to The Boot for a good time and good eats! read more

I agree with previous review regarding rude staff. The man behind the bar in the baseball cap on Saturday February 18 was rude to my wife on one occasion and a friend the other. The management should remedy the situation. I'm sure they can find a non public facing job. And the crawfish were small, cold and not spicy. Update: turns out the rude asshole is the owner. 0/10 read more

Food is decent, service is subpar. The guy mending the bar was boarder line rude, we asked him a few questions about the crawfish, and the sauce, he answered us in a condescending way. We understand that if we need anything, we go to the bar to order, which is fine, but they would not go above and beyond to help you, or to make sure everything is okay. Anything you ask from them feels like pulling teeth. If you like to spend money at a place that you don't feel welcomed, this is your place! read more
