    Cajun & Garlic Butter Crawfish
    Amie N.

    My family and I went to this place through the recommendation of a friend and we were not disappointed. Much appreciation towards the staff member who single handedly greeted and bussed all of the tables while taking orders both in-person and on the phone the entire time! Foodwise, we opted for 5lbs of the garlic butter & Cajun crawfish which came with 3 potatoes and 2 corns. Added 2 sausages which I personally didn't have but parents did approve. My friend also said the house sauce (WhoDat) was also very good if you like a little more lemon in your flavor. The flavor of the crawfish was spot-on, with a few odd tasting ones here and there but not enough to ruin the experience. Shells were soft and easy to crack this time in the season which allowed us to get every last bit. The only other thing we ate was the fried butterfly shrimp which was also good, I definitely want to try more of their fried foods next time around or even during off-season. Bonus points is that this place is BYOB. Location-wise, this place isn't too far from more well-known spots like LTK. Highly recommend to try this place out when you get the chance and support another local business that gives great service :)

    It's more like a 3.7 because there were negatives and positives: Positives: service was good and waitresses were polite and accommodating; fried shrimp was very good; who dat box was a lot of food and was mostly tasty. Boiled potatoes were good. You can pay with your phone. Negatives/things that could easily be improved: fried oysters were overcooked; rice was a bit mushy; gumbo was good but had to be doctored up with hot sauce, s&p; fries were just mid; onions strings were pointless; can only sub fries for rice. I thought the who dat sauce was greasy, but my husband enjoyed it, so it's a preference. The tables were a little greasy/sticky. Overall, it was typical Cajun Viet; it's not Nola Cajun, so there were many other viet dishes there as well. The prices were very reasonable, especially in this economy. I would go again for the gumbo and shrimp; we still want to try their crawfish.

    Bread that came with crawfish etouffe'

    I wanted to like this place if for no other reason, its name. Unfortunately it didn't work out. My first visit was to try the shrimp po boy w/fries for about $13. Price wise, no complaints. Soft drink options here are bottled only and the food was ready in about 10 minutes. The Po boy was served on a hot dog style baguette with fried shrimp, dressed and a sauce drizzled over the shrimp. Taste wise it was a little disappointing. I didn't like the drizzled sauce taste and would have preferred real French bread. Nothing stood out on the sandwich. The fries were barely warm and the onion straws weren't good. I gave this meal a 2. I wouldn't order it again. I decided to give WhoDat another chance and returned a couple of weeks later for the crawfish etouffe for $13. Again, a reasonable price and this meal took about 15 minutes to arrive and contained 2 small slices of bread. Again, I didn't like the taste of this dish. The cream sauce in the etouffe did not appeal to me. I decided that I wouldn't order it again (2). Another negative to this restaurant is that it is a table service eatery but really should be counter service instead. The tip raises the cost of eating here and is unnecessary.

    I decided to give this place a try and I am so glad that i did. Such a hidden gem. Very reasonable price and generous amount. Taste is amazing. I will be back to try more items on the menu.

    Such an underrated place! I got 6 lbs of crawfish priced at $7.99/lb and they had a special of buy 5, get 1 free. It also came with 3 potatoes and 2 corn. The who dat sauce was delicious and the crawfish was meaty and a good size. The boudin balls were also super good. The restaurant itself is super clean and service was great. I'll definitely be coming back!

    5 pounds crawfish with garlic butter/cajun sauce
    Matt B.

    Well, shit. Went back in to grab some more of that tasty crawfish we enjoyed on our last visit. Apparently, they stopped making the good stuff and replaced it with some that was either frozen or previously cooked. No amount of spice, butter, and garlic can mask the stale flavor and spongy texture of old crawfish. I apologize to any of you who were led astray by my previous review.

    Food was made fresh and served hot. They were very attentive. Food was tasty. I like that they peeled the shrimp. Generous portions. If the potatoes were smaller, I think the seasoning would have penetrated throughout the potato more. Who Dat sauce was yummy.

    Sausage red beans and rice
    Bryan V.

    Always nice to see more Viet Cajun restaurants open up on this side of town. They had a nice buy 5 lbs of crawfish and get 1 free special going on so I opted for that. They have three flavors for crawfish but you can actually mix two of them, so I tried the Cajun + garlic butter combo. I also sampled their house "WhoDat" sauce and I thought that was delicious! It's like a combination of lemon pepper and garlic butter, and I wish I had gone with that sauce option instead. The Cajun garlic butter was still good though. The crawfish was cooked well and a decent size. I wish the potatoes and corn were mixed in with crawfish though instead of being served on the side. The fried catfish here is also quite flavorful and moist. On a separate occasion, I tried their sausage, red beans, and rice, and I enjoyed that as well. Very delicious Cajun flavors. My only critic is that I wish they used an actual plate/bowl for the rice instead of a takeout box, seems a bit wasteful. Overall, I definitely need to come back and try their seafood with their signature house sauce!

    The big who dat box and crawfish is super good and super fire!! Delicious!! The flavors a through the roof!! The staff is super nice
    Krystle J.

    The food is absolutely amazing!!! The loaded who day box is out of this world and the crawfish and crabs are super good!! The boy cashier is awesome as well!! I highly recommend this seafood place 10/10

Time to Appetizers: 20 Minutes Time to Crawfish: 25 Minutes It's a solid branch from the main location in Bellaire, but they're missing some things. For example, the Bellaire location has the new Viet-Cajun flavor of sauce that hasn't debuted here yet (though you can DIY a mix). (Review is for July 2026 if they've updated since then) We got here at 6:05PM and got seated with no issues. Ordered the following: Combo #1 with extra corn and potatoes (3.5/5): Crawfish isn't in season, so don't be surprised at my low rating. It's still great and flavorful all around. Garlic Noodles with Shrimp (4/5): Still incredibly rich and buttery and garlicy and great for a palate cleanser. I'd skip the shrimp; you get eight pieces for $10 extra and that's not really worth it. Crawfish Beignets (4.5/5): Still a fantastic appetizer. Comes out hot, crispy, buttery, and is a really indulgence. 1 lb. Little Neck Clams (4.5/5): I liked these more than the crawfish tbh. It really does depend on what's in season. Very easy to eat, very flavorful. Service was generally good but our server seemed slammed; it took a long time to get water refills and to place extra orders (we got a second order of beignets to-go). Market price for crawfish is high and they're not in season, so don't be afraid to ask. The Combo #1 in July 2026 was $22. Overall, I'll probably be back during crawfish season especially because it's more convenient for me than the Bellaire location, but the Bellaire location has it beat for general atmosphere after the remodeling and much better options for mixes there.

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16.

I am a huge Crawfish Cafe fan in general, but this was my first time visiting this location. It's a very nice location in what looks to be a newer shopping center. There's tons of parking available. I can't remember exactly what day we came, but it was pretty busy at lunch time. Luckily we were able to be seated right away at a booth. Service was great from start to finish. Our main goal eating here that day was to convince our out of state friend how great crawfish is. Her one experience before wasn't great but I knew coming to Crawfish Cafe would change her mind. We started off with a few of my favorite appetizers. First off was some a sampler of oyster. I'm more of a chargrilled oyster fan and that was my favorite of the bunch even though they were all good. I just gotta have calamari anywhere I go. They do it really well here and add some Cajun flair to theirs. We also shared some of the wings. They do more of a dry Cajun rub and it is very good. Two of us went with boil combos. I like the Combo 1 which comes with 1 pound of crawfish, 1/2 a pound of shrimp, 1 corn and 1 potato. It's the right amount of food for me since I am a slow peeler. I also added a sausage link. My go to for sauces is the signature house blend which is a combination of their garlic butter and kickin' Cajun. It always hits the spot. The day we came, the crawfish were big and easy to peel. The sauce was on point and it had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Our out of town guest had the etouffee and loved it, but also loved some of our boiled crawfish as well. I think we did a solid job of converting a once crawfish hater thanks to Crawfish Cafe. This location was great and I would happily come back next time I am in the area.
