The best crawfish spot! We were passing through town and needed the crawfish fix. Iykyk! Well this spot did it for us. We of course ordered crawfish and shrimp for the kids mostly. The flavor was great! More than just the powdered seasoning, you could tell the boil was seasoned properly. It was late March when we came through and we had a few too many small crawfish but not worth complaining about. Also, they had no boudin which was disappointing but again, we came for the crawfish! Small space, friendly staff who insisted they would clean the table after we left. read more

The crawfish were on the small side and the place was not spotless. That being said, I was looking for crawfish, not fine French dining. I ordered mild, and it was perfectly spiced for me. I wish I had ordered another pound The empty plate is testament to the palatability. read more

So we originally drove down to go back to another spot we love in Broussard but apparently they did a 360. Off to yelp we went to find a crawfish spot nearby with dine in seating. I found this spot with high reviews. Simple choices here, how many lbs of seafood do you want, what spice level, and would you like any add ons (sausage, dip). The crawfish were nice size even at this time of the season. We got medium and hot and it's really the level on the seasoning on the shell for ppl who like their crawfish heavily seasoned in the water. While I wish they were more juicy they still hit the spot. I wasn't a big fan of the shrimp but that's ok. Clean spot, nice people, and room in and out to enjoy some crawfish or a drive thru option. read more

Stop at Lafayette for dinner and decided to try this spot for some fresh crawfish. A crawfish had the perfect amount of seasoning. The service was good and the crawfish came out within 10 minutes. This restaurant is located in a strip mall and it was averages for us for atmosphere. Will definitely be returning here in the near future for crawfish. read more

My teenagers love this place! The crawfish were big tasty and plentiful. The only negative thing is the amount of seating is very limited so sometimes you end up sitting next to someone that you do not know. Other than that the food is amazing! Yes, I recommend this place read more

The wife and I were just driving around LA for a little bit of a crawfish tour, trying different places here and there, when we found The Crawfish Spot. Service is a 10/10, everybody who worked here was incredibly friendly and cared whether or not we liked everything, and at the same time attentive. The crawfish, oh THE CRAWFISH. Seasoning was fantastic, just the perfect amount of spice. The boiled shrimp were definitely some of the better I've had. Definitely recommend for top tier crawdads! read more

They have the best crawfish in Town for sure! I see why they are rated #1 lol. The crawfish are big, juicy, and have the perfect about of spice! When you go, make sure you get some of their famous dipping sauce, the sauce compliments the heat and makes your mouth water after every bite. read more

Been coming here since my first date with my now husband in 2019. Every time we make our Louisiana trip a stop here is a must during crawfish season. From the friendly staff to the amazing flavors of the mushrooms, potatoes, corn and crawfish, all of it is a must with a nice cold beer. Ambiance is laid back nothing fancy but does the trick. Probably my favorite crawfish spot in Louisiana for sure read more

No crawfish unfortunately. Had their blue point crab and shrimp combo. Cooked nicely! Came with a small potato and half corn on the cob. Ordered butter and cocktail sauce (cost extra). Got 'regular' spice and my lips are buzzing after it! But I'm not used to Cajun spice Really plain and informal dining. Glad that they had a sink to wash up afterwards. Service was ok, very young, but helpful. TVs on the walls were competing channels. If you're looking for a good seafood boil (where the butter and salty water runs down your sleeves), this delivers! read more

Came to the crawfish spot while in town for work as crawfish season is my favorite season. Nothing special about the decor but it's perfect for crawfish enthusiasts like myself. Plenty of parking as well. Kept it simple and ordered crawfish dip as well as some boiled crawfish with a level above mild seasoning. That dip was on of the best things I've ever put in my mouth, i could've ate that alone. The crawfish were cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Now the seasoning wasn't hot per say but after a few pounds it was burning me up from the inside. Nonetheless the crawfish was good as I revisited the next day for all you can eat crawfish and at about 8-9lbs before tapping out, this time with mild seasoning. Service was pretty good. They were informative of the menu and regularly checked with us. 2nd day there was a bit of a struggle as they were training someone but nothing bad things just took a little longer. Will be back in next crawfish season to see if i can eat 10lbs or more in one sitting! read more

Shrimp were good & tasty but coke was expired. Was going to dine in but had a change of heart when I entered. Everyone was friendly

Wow, just wow! Hands down the best crawfish I've ever had. They don't just dump a bunch of spice on top like some places; the flavor is cooked all the way through. The atmosphere is super laid-back and fun. The staff made us feel right at home and checked on us often to make sure we had everything we needed. They have TVs so you can enjoy your food while watching the game. Oh, and don't sleep on the sides! They were so good I HAD to bring home some extra sausage, corn, and potatoes for my midnight snack, you feel me! If you're looking for authentic Cajun crawfish, this is it!! read more

Too salty to enjoy sadly. The crawfish, crab, and shrimp were so salty it took away from any other seasoning. Great service though.

Good crawfish at a great price. The staff was friendly and the cute Cajun decor makes it a great place to dine if you want to sit in. I think one of my favorite things is that they have mushrooms for your boil. Feel free to use the drive thru if you're on the go, they move pretty quick. They are also bagged well so if you take them home, you don't arrive with a soggy bag. I generally order it spicy, but if you want to avoid some of the salt, go for medium. read more

We were in town for 5 days visiting from NW Arkansas. We started looking for a place to get some mudbugs and many places were already getting ready to close. We finally Found the Crawfish Spot the first night and brought 5 pounds home. What a treat. We ordered the spicy. Nice fresh large crawfish and for us Arkansas boys, they weren't too hot, just enough to make your lips kind of burn. And the price was Just right. They were so good, we gave up looking for a differant place and for every night afterward we went back to the Crawfish spot to get another 5 pound snack to take back to our place. It got so they recognize us, it might have been the overalls that we wore. But the Crawfish Spot was great. There is seating inside or out. If you're looking for a good place to get you some crawdads, This is it. read more

We happened up on this spot accidentally. I put the wrong address in my Uber app but everything happens for a reason and this place was GREAT!! We were in Lafayette for Spring Break and my youngest had been waiting for "Louisiana Crawfish" all week. It is hidden in a shopping strip, behind a Whataburger. If you are in town, go check it out! We ordered the regular and WOW!! It was delicious!! After our lips calmed down from the spice, we powered through all 5 pounds! By the way, if that was the medium, I'm not sure if I can handle the spicy!! Burned sooo good! This is not a seafood spot. It's a crawfish spot so the menu is not loaded with a variety of seafood and/or dishes. The additional corn and potatoes were a little pricy for me but the crawfish is on point!! read more

I don't give 5 stars often. I'm a US Marine. There's always room for improvement!! That being said, "The Crawfish Spot" rates 5 stars all day long!!! 4/1 is my B-Day, no fooling! After a FULL day exploring the bayou, and Lafayette, LA, I needed to refuel. It was 8:15. They close at 9pm. I walked from my hotel a few blocks to this place. I grew up in the Northwest, so not used to the wonderful food down here. I asked what's good, a young lady said the crawfish are most popular. Ive never had a crawfish! She gave me one, showed me how to peal it. I tried it....I am HOOKED! I ordered 5 pounds. Ate every last one! They were so nice, never pressured me to leave (as they closed at 9, and I'm not fast at pealing those suckers!!) It was a top 50 meal in my 50+ years in life! The only bad part is? I'm afraid to try them anywhere else, as I can't imagine they could be any better!!! read more

Roll up your sleeves and get to work! This boil was sooo good. Delicious flavor. It is an unassuming place outside, and bare bones on the tables. That is because you need that square footage for the portions coming to you. Take your meal with a beer, and be ready to take a nap. read more

Ok y'all, no way could I travel allll the way to Louisiana during crawfish season and NOT get some! This was my first crawfish venture and boyoboy I was not disappointed! Definitely had to watch some YouTube videos to figure out how best to eat these little bits of delicious, and I'm sure I looked absolutely ridiculous so I'm glad I ordered to go and ate at the hotel LOL Do yourself a favor and get it spicy, it was FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!!! I ordered the 3lbs of boiled crawfish, spicy, with corn and potato. I also got a boudin link (omg soooo good). I would've loved to try the shrimp too but let's be real, I already had way more food than I could eat by myself and I hate wasting food. Just means I'll have to come back again! Make sure you've got plenty of napkins or wet wipes ready, and bring a friend or a very heft appetite, because 3lbs is a looot of crawfish. AS MENTIONED ABOVE I ORDERED TO GO. The packaging was great, no leaks, my food stayed hot hot hot and I had a disposal bag for my shells. read more

First time to this crawfish place and fir sure I will be back Quick service inside and a drive through option for call ahead customers. Crawfish was average size but the taste was superb. The sausage was really good, but the seasoning you can get with it is on fire. Thank goodness they give butter with all orders. The Manger came out twice and walked tables to make sure everything was alright. Outstanding service and food quality read more

Amazing food amazing service and super helpful for all my family's needs. Get the crawfish. They were big and great.

This was my first experience here, but will not be my last. I love seafood and love finding spots, when on the go. I order shrimp and boudin. The shrimp were perfect! They were juicy and very flavorful. The boudin was also very delicious. The timing was below the expected wait time! The staff were very friendly and establishment very clean! They set expectations and exceeded those expectations. I usually take pictures of the food, when doing reviews, but those shrimp did not stand a chance! The shrimp also came with complimentary corn and potatoes, that were delicious! read more

We came to town for a concert and we were looking for some good boiled seafood. This place was great. The employee that took our order was very polite and helpful. We ordered a snow crab combo and a snow and Dungeness combo. We decided to order the medium spice level based on the heat levels explained by the employee and it was perfect. The seafood is cooked in seasoning and it was perfect. The crab didn't have that fishy flavor at all, the crab and 1/2lb of shrimp were delicious. The only thing I wish was that the potato and corn were cooked in the seasoning as well, they didn't have any flavor. I will be stopping here any time I take a trip to lafayette. read more

Before you order definitely ask about the menu if you have any questions. We have never been to Louisiana. So we didn't know. Ended up ordering a 5 lb plate of crawfish and a 3 lb plate of crawfish for my husband and I?? We thought it was lo Country boil. The crawfish were still really good!! read more

When in Louisiana you Crawfish! We were on our way back to Houston and we decided to look on Yelp for some outstanding crawfish joints and this one popped up. Whenever we walked in we went up to the front because they do not have waiters/waitresses so you order at the front. They have a drive-thru if you're in a hurry but in my opinion I would just sit and eat unless you're taking it home because they are not quick. No refunds by the way! The gentleman taking our order was so funny and nice! Great sense of humor. I believe he had glasses and red hair. He took our order and then we made our way to our seats. We all ordered crawfish with corn, potato, and mushrooms! My friend ordered the special sauce which is mayonnaise and ketchup and I think he said mustard? But the sauce didn't taste like it had mustard in it. Parking: Open space parking. You shouldn't have a problem parking unless you're going on a busy day. Food: -3 lbs of Medium crawfish with 1 corn, 1 potato and mushrooms (3.5/5): So let me start off by saying I'm kind of biased because I'm obsessed with Garlic butter style crawfish, probably because I'm asian honestly and truly it adds more flavor. But the Cajun style isn't as bad just sometimes it's overly salty and ruins the taste of crawfish. In my opinion, the Cajun style here wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. It took about 30 minutes for our crawfish to come out and when it did come out I didn't know that the corn and potato was going to be plain. They didn't toss the corn or potato in the batch so it didn't have any flavoring! Womp womp. The medium was not overbearing and it had a mini kick to it if you like to eat the heads, but if you don't then I would suggest getting spicy. The mushrooms were amazing!!!! I loved them! I would suggest getting the special sauce so you can dip your potato in the sauce! It was yummy! Definitely would recommend if you love Cajun style crawfish! Wait time is just a little long though. read more

The Crawfish Spot - 3 lbs Medium crawfish with corn, potato, and mushrooms. Plain corn and potato - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

With so many crawfish spots in Lafayette you may not come across this one but it's worth a visit. One of my friends drove 10 miles just to get boiled crawfish & shrimp from here and when she shared her shrimp (I don't care for crawfish unless someone will peel them for me :) )it became my frequent Covid lockdown meal to enjoy with a daiquiri on my balcony! The shrimp are big butterfly and already deveined and the shell peels off in one tug. Get the medium-spicy flavoring, it had spice and it had more flavor than the other two. Spicy lacked flavor other than being hot and I like more kick than mild (but I haven't tried w/ the crawfish) To go is available! They do allow you to phone order ahead and pick it up at the window or you can order at the window and wait but wait time can between 15-20 sometimes because it gets backed up sometimes (idk if this is pre-covid or not) ! read more
