By far the best crawfish in Houston if you're searching for authentic Louisiana crawfish. I'll be here every crawfish season. Service is always great too! read more

I was introduced to Boil House by a friend on last year and I have been a fan every since. What I love about Boil House crawfish is that they are prepared Lousiana style. Although I enjoy the garlic filled, outside seasoned, Texas style crawfish...Lousiana style seasoned crawfish will always be my absolute favorite. Boil House is located in the family friendly Heights community. I love visiting the Heights see the unique community style. It has the small homey touch, that invites you in. Boil House itself, is located across the street from Buchanan's Native Plants. You may have to drive around to find a parking space, because Boil House has a very very small parking lot. I think there may be some parking behind the building. There is some seating on the inside and outside. Boil House is a great place to visit on beautiful day and chill with family and friends. Also, they have a drive thru. So if you have no time to sit, get your order to go. My only complaint with Boil House, would be there prices. They are slightly more expensive then other places I have been, but hey... I do not mind paying for quality crawfish! Get to Boil House!! read more

I lived in New Orleans for 6 years and this tastes exactly like NOLA/Louisiana crawfish. The owners are from Louisiana and are very likable and awesome. The customer service and vibes are just as amazing as the crawfish. I'm not a fan of most crawfish in Texas (adding dry seasoning after the boiling process) so Boil House is my go to! read more

Boil House - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

The flavor was great...they taste just like Louisiana crawfish but they were extremely small. Lots of smashed crawfish, paws, and heads. They also had lots of hollow crawfish which I hadn't seen before....really curious to know how that happens. Extremely disappointed after paying $48 for 5 lbs and maybe only really getting 3 after seeing how much of the crawfish was a total loss. Not sure I'll be back again. Regretting not just taking a trip home to Louisiana. read more

Boil House - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm so excited to find this place. They came highly recommended from another "Louisianian" that relocated to Houston. I gave up the search to find some authentic flavored Louisiana crawfish in Houston but oh boy! This place is amazing. They have a drive up window or you can sit and dine in. They offer various package deals that includes corn and potatoes. I got 5 lbs and it was just enough. They also allow you to choose your heat level. Then to top it off ,you can order boiled shrimp and other sides like mushrooms. The frozen Margarita was strong! Plus they give you the option to add a shot. The customer service was great... they patiently waited on each customer. Highly recommended! read more

Boil House - 5 lbs with corn and potatoes and mushrooms - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Crawfish is always amazing a true example of seasoning the water without all the seasoning top. The staff makes you feel at home when you walk in! read more

Boil House - 2 lbs with corn and potatoes - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Price point is competitive, heat is underwhelming. Small interior means most people will be eating on the patio which is comfortable. The crawfish in each batch seem to vary widely in range and that causes many of the smaller ones to be badly overcooked. Our main issue was quality control. The five pound platter we were served contained multiple of some sort of unidentifiable fish/bug that definitely weren't crawfish and turned our appetites quickly. (See photo). read more

Boil House - Crawfish and something that definitely isn't edible and looks disgusting. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was pleasantly surprised to find a crawfish restaurant in Houston where the crawfish are not seasoned on the outside. I am from Louisiana so I do not like the seasoning all on the outside of the crawfish! They have a patio and indoor seating. The crawfish are god enough to suck the heads if you are into that type of thing. They always have a line so plan to get there early! I always anticipate their annual opening date as they close when crawfish season is over. read more

This is my absolute favorite place for crawfish omg . They are huge , juicy and flavorful. Your order is out within 5 minutes i kid you not they are so fast ! The place is small but people are nice and we share tables. I love love love the boil house team i bring all my friends read more

Review of the boiled shrimp. Flavor was good, although I wish I would have gotten a little spicier. The shrimp was super well done and so not really juicy/soft. The corn was good, and the sausage link was okay. Kind of rubbery/tough to bite on the outside. I imagine the crawfish is really really good! read more

Got the lip burning spice level crawfish and it was so salty we couldn't finish more than 2 pounds.

Live two blocks away and always wanted to try this place. The large crowds are for a reason. Closest I've tasted to New Orleans style crawfish in Houston. I'm from New Orleans and have been in Houston a decade. One bite was nostalgic. Place is small so my have to share a table with strangers. Vibe is cool though. read more

The worst boil i've ever had i suggest bb's or captain crawfish. Seasoning made it sooo salty and even before seasoning it was soooo bland. Also way more over priced than the ones i named and it's soooo bad I really can't stress that enough i seen all these good reviews so i decided to try it but I really regret it and should've just stuck with my regulars instead of trying something new. read more

I've been here multiple times. Crawfish was always good! Great amount of spice and quick service.

THIS PLACE NEVER DISAPPOINTS! Boil House was one of the first places for crawfish I've ever tried when moving to Houston. I love the little place which is In the heights. The crawfish is reasonably priced and so are the corn and potatoes. I always get my crawfish mild fire because I don't like overly spicy. THE FLAVOR OF THE CRAWFISH IS EVERYTHING. I mean it really makes the crawfish good. The size of the crawfish is really good! I got 2lbs, 2 potatoes, corn, and purple haze beer and it was only about $27. This definitely filled me up. They have this sauce that I like and it's so freaking delicious!!!! Listen, if you love crawfish, I beg of you to come here! They also have drive thru service if you aren't up for dining in. FYI: they have an outside area you can sit at. read more

Really small place compared to other crawfish restaurants with both indoor and outdoor seating. Crawfish available in 1lb, 5lb, and 8lb(I think). There's no flavoring variety like other places; only one flavor here. You can choose your spice level and even mild is pretty spicy already. Not many options for add-ons or side dishes. The crawfish is in season so it's fresh and medium to large sized. Overall, it's tasty but I prefer more variety and side dishes. read more

If you're considering going, just go you will not be disappointed. The service is great and your food will come out fast. There's even a drive thru. Crawfish is made real New Orleans style- meaning the seasoning was in the pot and not thrown on top of the crawfish with garlic butter at the last min. Everything is flavorful and the spice is hitting. Crawfish are a good size and nothing is overcooked (corn/potatoes). read more

Literally the best crawfish we've had in Houston. Seasoned to perfection, great flavor & nice size. Customer service is great. The daiquiris are delicious too. read more

Boil House - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Fantastic fresh shrimp, crab, and crawfish that's well seasoned with spice choices. Casual atmosphere is nice but seating is limited. Will definitely go back. read more

Great Cajun style crawfish made my real New Orleans pros! Spice level was on point, size on point, fixins on point. The mushrooms come with a decent serving enough for two. We would have liked some garlic bulbs offered. Great friendly staff, nice seating indoor and out. They usually sell out before closing time! Call ahead or get there early read more

Definitely worth the try if you're in the area! Came with a friend and ordered 8lbs at the spiciest level you can get them (lips swollen). I love spicy foods and this level was an enjoyable burn. Also ordered a margarita even though I'm not a margarita drinker and I actually liked it. It's usually the overly tanginess that I don't like with most margs and this one was just right on the sweet and sour. Please note that seating is limited as the establishment is not very big. There are a few tables inside (no ac but there is a fan) and a few picnic tables outside. read more

The medium is hot, the crawfish were delicious because of the seasoning. Absolutely on point.

Great crawfish. Small seating area but I went when they first opened and was able to select seat. Great food and flavor.

It was decent, the place was small, the customer service was nice, and the crawfish was decent! I think the options outside of the crawfish was kind of pricey, but that may be because of the economy. I would compare to BB's. read more

Great place to get crawfish in season. A little pricey, but they are worth it! We got about 13 lbs (8lb platter and 5lb platter) comes with potatoes and corn. The crawfish is seasoned well and a pretty good size! We also added some sausage links. The food and the vibe are both pretty great. I enjoyed being there and the staff was very friendly. Parking can be scarce so if you live near by I would Uber or walk. I recommend going here to get some good crawfish. read more

Boil House - 8lb platter! Corn and potatoes at the bottom - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

We walked in thinking it was BYOB, it is not BYOB. The guy at the front was super nice about it. He was chill about it and offered to chill out beer while we ate. We ordered the 5 pound special and it promptly came. The medium spice was the perfect level for us. The potato and corn were spicy and flavorful. Overall, the crawfish were good size as well. Def a solid spot, I will put this on my rotation for crawfish season. read more

Got 8lbs crawfish for a party of 6. The corn absorb all the flavor of the boil which makes it very enjoyable to eat. I do wish the crawfish could be little bigger but that's understandable because of the freeze few weeks ago. Definitely feel like I was in Louisiana. read more

Super casual, great to walk to if you live in the neighborhood. Love the outdoor seating. The boils are seasoned authentic Louisiana style and with corn and potatoes in the boil. I don't eat crawfish much so can't say what it's like but the shrimp boil is great. The crabs are pretty good, I've had much worse at other Texas joints. I don't know if they ever serve blue crab but I'd love it if they did! read more

The moment you walk in, you know you're going to get a legit crawfish boil. It's a fun time to go through 8 lbs of fresh crawfish with friends at the boil house. The corn, potatoes, and mushrooms tasted great in the crawfish juice. The sausage was a great addition. Really well seasoned. I didn't find the Mouth Burn spice level to be spicy at all. Will need to try Lips Swollen next time! read more

Boil House - Crawfish boil - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great price and great crawfish! You could easily pass up this small I've house in the heights, but make sure you stop by. The crawfish was well seasoned and cooked immaculately. They don't have a large menu but they definitely do crawfish well! I was also surprised to see they had my favorite local LA beer, purple haze. read more

went about two weeks ago. crawfish: -size: were pretty small/medium for the size. -taste: backyard louisiana flavor! (no added sauces or flavors: garlic butter, etc). overall: 8/10. *ask for extra juice at the bottom of your bag for extra seasoning. service: GREAT! its like as soon as you order, your food is ready! drinks: daqs & margs! (8/10!) only thing that was a flaw, was outside seating. long picnic benches so you end up sitting pretty close to people you dont know but if you dont mind then 10/10! read more

I'm not a Houston native but I'm a foodsie. I have eaten crawfish for the past 4 years and this spot is my favorite in Houston. Seasoning is on/point, crawfish is purged/cleaned, and a must spot for me to return. The only complaint I would have is that it was closer to home ;) read more

I Love Love Love Love this place ..... The Crawfish is on POINT Always . Nice and Friendly faces . read more

According to my native NOLA friends this is the way you do crawfish. I can't agree more. This is VERY simple, you make your boil to how spicy you want it then you drop in your crawfish, corn, and potatoes. This is simply good crawfish. Theres no fancy sauces to go on top but you don't need it because the crawfish is good on it's own already. They do have a house dipping sauce if you like. The staff is friendly, their frozen daquiri is definitely the way to go! read more

I've been here for 2 years and haven't found a seafood place remotely close to back home but when I saw Boil House on tik tok I had to check it out and I wasn't disappointed! I can't wait to go back. If you want crawfish the Louisiana way then you should definitely only be coming here! read more

Not my favorite crawfish. Weird flavor, small And over cooked. Also, no heat on the inside. read more
