How is it that I haven't visited this place sooner??? I mean I've been driving all over DFW for my Cajun/Creole cravings, and had this place in vicinity all these years!?! Well, I've found it now, and will be returning with frequency. You know you've found a good spot when you see regulars there, and the bartenders know what they're drinking already. So far, we've tried the Seafood Boil, Close to the Bayou, Shrimp Po' Boy, fresh Oysters on the Half Shell, Fried Okra AND BEIGNETS w/ Chocolate drizzle... all DELISH!!! They have a great beverage selection with plenty of beers on tap, mixed cocktails and top shelf drinks galore. The host (Aliana(spell?) and bartender (Amelia) were AWESOME, and really made the dining experience so much fun! The vibe and ambiance is very homey & you just feel like you belong. Can't wait to revisit and try some of their other many selections... especially all the appetizers & the LIVE music & karaoke on the weekends!! read more

Loved the seafood boil! Karla was amazing, checked up on us all the time and gave great recommendations! Definitely recommend this place!

Server was amazing and recommend the very best and always checked on us. Great place to hangout and eat seafood.

We were near this area so thought of trying it out for lunch since we wanted to have some seafood. Nice decor would love to come here on a Friday & enjoy some beer while watching some game on TV. We were quickly seated saw the menu & ordered couple of beers Sam Adam's & Dos Equis. From the fish section we choose- The Oscar - scarlet snapper grilled Your Choice of Fish, Either Grilled / Blackened / Fried (Corn Meal or Tempura), Herb Crusted with Lump Crab Meat, Lemon Butter Sauce served with White Rice & Broccoli. Red drum fish grilled with Cajun cream sauce & Creole potato salad. Both the dishes were excellent , the Cajun cream sauce & the Creole potato salad was delicious it complemented the fish very well . We also took sea boil with shrimp, potatoes & sausage with All In sauce (on the side) to have it later for dinner . Please be aware it is spicy. Service was good & enjoyed our meal would love to come back to try their various dishes. There is plenty of parking. read more

Overall great experience. I came for the seafood boil. I ordered the shrimp boil with the "all-in" sauce and added the potato and corn option. To my surprise, the shrimp was already peeled for you. The sauce was good, but it was a little too spicy for my liking, but if you like spicy, by all means you'll love this. I personally like to have the experience of peeling the shrimp and i like the head on because it adds more flavor but, they just had the "no-head" option. Although, the portions are huge! My husband ordered the fish option, which comes with your choice of fish, you choose the style like if you wanted your fish to be fried, blackened, or grilled, and choose your topping (includes sides) or sauce (does not include sides). He chose the snapper, grilled, with the atchafalaya sauce; crawfish étouffée and fried crawfish tails with garlic breadstick and white rice. We both thought this dish was okay. We've had better crawfish étouffée but, overall still good. For the appetizer, we ordered some wings which was pretty good too. Staff was super nice and professional and the ambiance was very sports bar and grill vibes. This is a great spot for date night, gatherings; small and large groups. Definitely check it out. Till then, let's eat!!! read more

We had an amazing lunch here! The photos tell the complete story, so here is what we experienced in summary : The beer were cold and satisfying. The fish dishes had very fresh seafood and the portions weee huge! The seafood boil again had huge portions and great quantity and quality of shrimp . The All-in Sauce was a real killer. It is very very very hot. Beware! Taylor was very attentive and gave us great suggestions! Great ambience fit for Friday with friends We will be back soon! read more

Got the seafood boil! Shrimp was really buttery and flavorful, potatoes and corn good and clams nice. Crab clusters were..very small. We got two, and I thought we had only gotten one they were so small. I was sad because the butter it was tossed in was so yummy! I felt like what we got was less than what we paid for. Took 40 minutes as well :( Good food! Small portion :( read more

Ok so this is mixed review honestly because some things were fantastic and some things horrible. Went for lunch on a Sunday about noon.... Ahh we where only people there other than one guy at the bar. Service was just ok. The good: Fried mushrooms and hush puppies are some of the best we have ever had! The average: Catfish Poorboy and fries were average. Catfish fillet was big but under seasoned and fries just blah. The horrible: The Tipsy salad sampler of egg salad, chicken salad and pimento cheese. While it looked great and huge portions all three are so bad, almost un edible especially the pimento cheese! The hush puppies are probably the best we have ever had and we had lots of them from all over Louisiana! Might give it one more shot. read more

Tried this place and can't wait to come back! I got the shrimp po boy and it was loaded with shrimp... and the bread, yummy! My husband got the chicken and sausage gumbo, he loved it but I thought it was slightly salty. The star of the meal were the charbroiled oysters! Holy, I wanted to lick the shells they were so good! read more

The food was delicious, and the environment is fun! Ask for Isella for great service! We will be back soon... read more

Service was outstanding! From the hostess to the waitress - attentive and friendly despite being fairly busy. We ordered the Crawfish Dip to start and were pleasantly surprised by the amount of crawfish - recommend crostini over chips. For our meals, I opted for a light option of blackened snapper with broccoli. Very impressed with the fish and while I know it's not easy to screw up broccoli, I thought it was really good! My husband had the crawfish Po Boy and was a big fan. I've also never seen my husband not finish a meal and this was it! Huge Po Boy with a hearty helping of fries. The fries were quite tasty as well. We will be back! read more

My husband and I have been coming here for happy hour for awhile and have a lot of fun. Food is good, drinks are great price and owner goes above and beyond to accommodate my food preferences, and when I had a moment about the coleslaw on my plate touching other food, she had the kitchen remake my meal without me having to ask. Thank you for the great service! read more

Food is delicious! The bartender/server Tatum was adorable. Only issue is they do not have fresh iced tea - it's out of a gun. I will be back! read more

Tipsy was just ok for me. We were the only ones in here at noon and ordered the fried catfish plate which came with the usual fanfare of fries and cole slaw. It was ok ish. The slaw had way to too much mayo and vinegar but the fish was decent. The reason the 4 stars was the great service and the cool atmosphere. But for fried catfish, Razoos is better, in my opinion. read more

Ok... this might be a first, but I have to give my honest opinion . I love a good cajun restaurant, so we stopped by, but I definitely would NOT recommend this one... unless you enjoy unseasoned food. Our server was amazing, and our food came out fresh, but it all lacked flavor. We spent so much money for subpar food, and we honestly didn't feel very comfortable in this establishment either. I loved the idea of a wine flight, but every glass tasted like refrigerator... you know how wine tastes when it's been open for a while and isn't fresh anymore? The gumbo was dirty tasting and watery. I took one bite and pushed it to the side. I'm used to a thick, velvety, and flavorful roux... but this wasn't it. I love that I had the option to add mushrooms to my seafood boil, but again, it lacked flavor. It was spicy... as if they added some type of Tabasco sauce to it, but that's it! The bottom of the crab boil bowl had no butter, seasoning, garlic, or ANYTHING to sop my goodies in. It was just dry. I was really confused. Maybe we visited on a bad day ‍. read more

The snow crab is the best I've had in east DFW. The peach cobbler is some of the best I've ever had and the service is tentative and kind. There was karaoke when we went and the attempts at singing were quite entertaining. Highly recommend having a Snow crab Cajun boil. The crab is luscious, sweet, and doesn't split in the shell. 10/10 read more

The Tipsy Crawfish! First time there for lunch today. Being we are from the New Orleans area we were holdouts from trying it, thinking the worst ...but we were pleasantly surprised. The owner was manning the front of house and she was the sweetest person. She told us her and her husband's story about why they decided to open the restaurant. The place was very empty which was concerning but we were committed to giving it a try. We ordered the broiled crab claws to try which came with a delicious butter wine sauce and crunchy bread for dipping. I could have just kept dipping bread honestly. The claws were good but I would try the fried ones next time. My husband ordered the Fish and Chips lunch special which was one very large piece of fried catfish and French fries. It came out piping hot and tasted very fresh and was fried well. He really enjoyed it and couldn't eat it all. The only negative was he found a few bones in the filet. I ordered the fried shrimp basket lunch special with potato salad. Shrimp were large and fried well (asked for extra crispy the way we like our seafood fried). They were very good and the potato salad was unique but excellent. We also enjoyed the tartar sauce with is a huge requirement. In all we were very impressed with the food preparation. If you haven't got to try them or haven't been on a while I recommend that you do! read more

Service was so slow that we considered having Domino's delivered to our table at The Tipsy Crawfish. We were seated promptly and the waitress brought water and tea in a reasonable time. She didn't come back to take our orders for 20 minutes. The food did not come for four of the five of us for another 30 minutes. #5 had to wait another 5 minutes for his dinner. The food was mixed. The namesake crawfish was not fresh and not "cleaned." The fried pickles were perfect. The Jambalaya was good. The other entrees were fine. Many menu items were GF, and the waitress was careful to state that I wanted GF. Not eager to go back there. read more

This restaurant was severely disappointing. We waited about 12 min for a coke and received a taste of the Cajun butter sauce about 10 minutes before the coke. We ordered after being seated for 20 minutes. Thankfully the hostess brought us water immediately after sitting down. The staff were really nice. So they deserve their kudos there. After that though the food was average. We spent over 90 minutes there after receiving our food at about the 70 minute mark. I won't come here again. That's unfortunate because we would really like a Cajun place to call home. read more

We walked in around 9 o'clock this evening, and Monica took amazing care of my girl friend and I.

I am always impressed with this restaurant. I have celiac and upon introducing herself, our waitress Monica, asked if anyone at the table has any allergies that she should be aware of. That immediately eliminates the stress/anxiety that celiacs face when going out to eat. The food is always great and the portions are big! I recommend this place! 10/10 Monica is the best read more

I have to admit I went here with some trepidation because of several bad reviews. It was my granddaughter's 14th birthday and she chose the place because she wanted to try the crab boil. I generally eat carnivore so it's always a challenge to find enough to eat without paying a fortune. I chose to cheat a bit that day and had the grilled fish with chips and coleslaw. Many of the reviews said there was no flavor or seasonings, but my fish and fries were seasoned well, I did add some salt because I do prefer a lot of salt to keep my electrolyte up but otherwise the food was great. Keep in mind some people are under the false impression that salt is bad for them because doctors, who have never had a nutrition class want to sell you BP meds. That's why there is salt on the tables for you to add more if you want. My daughter and three granddaughter's enjoyed the crab boil and we all had a great time. Our waitress was very helpful with the menu and filled our waters and tea promptly. So I'm going to say it was better than what most people complained about. By the way, for those who leave bad reviews we can see your profile and if you have 9 bad reviews out of 10, I'm pretty sure it's not the places you eat but just the fact that you are entitled and picky. read more

To start off, we had a great lunch experience here and will be back for more and think this place deserves better reviews!! Food was amazing, the portions were great and prices were cheap and our waiter was nice and very attentive. We got the oysters which were HUGE and fried mushrooms which were seasoned great for appetizers and then we ordered the catfish atchafalaya and the seafood gumbo. The catfish atchafalaya was well seasoned and tasted very fresh, the breadsticks were amazing and I'm pretty sure home made and the gumbo was a tad salty but still tasted great with the bread and rice mixed. We even got a desert of mini beignets since lunch was pretty cheap! The inside was clean and there are TV's everywhere for you to enjoy any football or sports game. Come check it out for yourself, they have a ton of specials and food!!! read more

Gumbo, Red Beans & Rice, fried shrimp all came out great. And Great service from Isella!

Been here many many times. We've ALWAYS enjoyed it. Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. Today, with half of the tables and bar still available, the waiter asks, "table for 2, do you have a reservation?" We've replied "no, do we need one?" He pouts and says let me see if I can find yall a table." We said we will sit at the bar. Little did we know it was watch party night for some reality show. Still wasn't bothered about anything... Then...loud as could be, the audio in the place was so overwhelming I put my headphones in and still couldn't hear them. A watch party???? To take over the entire place???? Cheering and all sorts of nonsense. Grumpy old fart?? Maybe, but We've thought it was gonna be similar to our previous visits. Not into this watch party thing to take over the whole establishment. Annoyed and won't be back during these times ever again. I get it, I hope they make the money they want, with all this TV bs,but we aren't coming back till the season is over. read more

I've eaten here quite a few times with my husband and it has slowly gone down hill. There was 1 lady running the bar, seating people and taking orders!!! I get that restaurants can be short staffed, but the 1 person running the restaurant was extremely rude to people coming in, seating them and taking their orders like she was very put out. Just being friendly goes a long way with people having to wait for service. We thought that they must be going out of business. When it re-opens as something new, we will check it out then. read more

We were really disappointed with our experience at Tipsy Crawfish last week. We went before 5:00 p.m., and when we arrived there were only about two families in the restaurant, so it didn't seem especially busy. We ordered snow crab, crawfish, shrimp, potatoes, sausage, corn, hush puppies, and two kids meals. After placing our order, we waited around 40 minutes just for the first kids meal to come out. Then our seafood boil arrived, but it was missing the crawfish and hush puppies. The second kids meal didn't come out until 10-15 minutes after the rest of our food, and it was so hot we had to wait even longer before we could give it to our child. When we asked about the crawfish, we were told they were "almost ready," but by that point we were basically finished eating everything else, so we asked for them to be removed from the bill. Later, we noticed the hush puppies were still on the ticket, so we asked for those to be removed too since we never received them. The response we got was, "They're sitting back there right now," which was frustrating because by then it was far too late. On top of the poor timing and service, the food itself was not great. The corn tasted like it had come straight from the freezer and had freezer burn, the shrimp was tough and rubbery, the crab was just okay, and the potatoes still had roots growing out of them that hadn't even been cleaned off. It's unfortunate because this restaurant is so close to home, and we really wanted to like it, especially for the amount of money we spent. Sadly, the experience was not worth it. read more

The restaurant double charged me. I submitted my credit card. Then when the bill and card were returned, I saw there was a cash discount, so I chose the cash option, placing it in the folder and putting my credit card away. I did not sign anything. They took the cash and then charged my card with a generous tip. The manager has refused to return my calls. I even visited the restaurant later and was promised a call from the manager--but it never came. Service was poor, the food very slow to arrive and only average. Worst restaurant experience in 50 years. I would give zero stars if I could. read more
