I came here because I wanted some BLUE CRABS while I was in Louisiana, and this place did not disappoint! I see other reviews about crawfish, but I didn't get crawfish so I can only speak on the crab. I got the jumbo crab. It ran me $32 for half a dozen, which did feel a bit steep, I'm not going to lie. But I will admit they were absolutely DELICIOUS! Perfectly seasoned, super spicy, and just what I needed to get my fix! The service was pretty good, yet simple. You just call and place your order, then go and pick it up. I didn't have any issues with that at all, and they even let me go in the cooler to see the sizes of the crabs myself prior to buying, and I appreciate the transparency. The vibe is quaint, chill, and relaxed. Getting there is a bit tricky, because if you're coming from the RaceTrac side, you'll be waiting FOREVER to be able to cross over. I strongly recommend not using that lil side street by the Racetrac. Just keep driving down Evangeline Thruway and make a U-turn further down because nobody will let you over. Again, crabs were delicious and perfect. I feel like they should have a seating area to eat! I had to drive to Brown park and find seating there. But the crabs were so delicious, I have to give it 5 stars read more

See all

STAY AWAY! bought 2 sacks of Crawfish about 20% were dead. Called they said there is nothing they can do. never again!

On my way to Texas to visit my daughter I decided to stop in Lafayette to get some boiled crawfish. I chose this place at random. Although they were decidedly unfriendly, I thought how wrong could I go. I soon found out. When the lady handed me my order, 3# of boiled crawfish, it felt a bit light and so I questioned her. She assured me that she had weighed it herself and that it was indeed 3 lbs. Upon reaching my destination, I put the bag on my daughters food scale - 1.7 pounds. Buyer beware!!! read more

I'd give it a lower rating if I could. The crawfish here is food poisoning waiting to happen. It seems like they buy from just anyone and don't check the quality. Not only that, they are trying to over charge for crawfish and give you the wrong size, and THEN they want to argue with customers when they get called out! Service is Quality is They are nothing but a southern joke. Do yourself a favor and buy from the cajun people who aren't trying to give you a colon cleanse against your will. After buying 3 sacks here, only half of them were somewhat edible. They were either dead, black & mushy on the inside, or tasted like some really foul mud, despite us cleaning them multiple times. Waste of time, waste of money, and a waste of space in our community. read more

I have always been satisfied with my purchase! Maybe not so friendly but there seafood is great read more

Purchased 2 sacks for a family event. They were packaged well and I traveled a whole day and crawfish were alive and healthy.

I purchased a pound of lump crab meat to make Corn and Crab Soup. I am so disappointed to find crab shells in nearly every bite after spending the whole day making soup. Not to mention the price - crab meat is expensive. I will not be purchasing crab meat from this brand again and would not recommend the brand either. read more

I just posted a review of this place thinking it was someplace else. I've never eaten here so I can't say if it's good or not. Sorry!

I called last Saturday to reserve two sacks of crawfish for the following Monday at 11 o'clock in the morning. Whenever I showed up on Monday to pick up the crawfish the person at the register informed me that they would not be getting the crawfish in until later on that evening. I had planned an entire boil around them saying that they would have the product at the time that I needed and them not having it pushed back the day because I had to find someone last minute who had what I needed. I strongly recommend using another business. read more

Oh YIKES! Dirtiest, nastiest, boiled crawfish ever! What a shame. Purchased 20 lbs in an over priced styrofoam cooler to bring home to family visiting from Colorado. Ate about 8 crawfish and there was no way. Disgusting! Never again. Filthy non purged, looked as if boiled with mud and sprinkled with season in dirty water. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE AND BUSINESS! I preordered a sack of LARGE crawfish, premium price at $85/sack. I called morning of (Easter Sunday) to confirm my order. I showed up, paid the $85 and was handed small crawfish. When I pointed it out, I was told "take it or leave it". I told him fine, just charge me the right price, he flat out refused! The conversation got heated, then I was told to get the "F" off the property. How is this place even in business? A lot of people were STOLEN from that day! read more

Called and ordered large/medium. Live crawfish. They had medium small. 2nd time they did this. Last time i go there.

3 times in the last two weeks I stopped to get boiled crabs because of their flashing electronic sign advertising live and boiled crabs. They did not have them even one of the times. Even after being reassured yesterday they would have them today. Drove from out of town to get them today only to find out they didn't have them. Not sure why you advertise a product you don't have. I won't be stopping again. read more

While waiting on a crawfish order, the spanish clerk was on the phone the whole time we were there speaking on the phone in spanish. We felt so disrespected because we tried to report this several times to the owner/manager to let him know our experience, but our calls were never returned. I have a big problem with PERSONAL PHONE CALLS ON COMPANY TIME, NOT WAITING ON CUSTOMERS. Obviously our business is not appreciated and we will NOT return. read more

We order a sack of crawfish on April 19, 2014...now we have ordered 6 to 8 sacks in the past and everything was great, but on this day not so much...as we began to purg the crawfish we noticed that about 4 to 5 pounds were dead...we were told that the crawfish would be medium to large...well most of them were small...some so small you couldn't even eat...this company has lost my business and I will not suggest their business to anyone... read more

Bought 2 sacks of "large" crawfish for Good Friday @ $85/sack. They were medium at best, had half a sack of dead crawfish and the was bait in the bag that smell to high hell. Never again. Not even for a bottle of water. read more

There was a time years ago when this was the go to place for crabs and crawfish. We called the day before we drove 3 hrs to pick up live crab and were told they would hold 2 dozen jumbo for us. When we were close we decided to call again to let them know we were close and we were told they had no jumbo crabs left, but had large. We proceeded to go ahead and get the large and upon arrival we were told by the Hispanic woman that they have been out of crabs since morning, but they would have some later. Our last visit here was not so great either. We went to The Fruit Stand in Breaux Bridge and were very satisfied with our $240 purchase. Your loss Chez. read more

the worst service and business I have ever dealt with. I ordered 2 sacks of large crawfish for Easter morning. I asked if I needed to prepay and was advised that I could just come in and pay the day of pick up. I receive a phone call at 830PM telling me that they were not going to be able to have any crawfish that only small were available and that I could come in and check them out or go elsewhere. I had no other option other than to go and get the small crawfish Easter morning being that these horrible business people called me at 830 and I couldn't make other arrangements. on the day of pickup they charged me for large prices. when I told them I received a phone call stating only small sizes were available, they told me he could sell them to someone else if I didn't want them. fuck you chez francois. read more

FRESH, HOT, and FAIRLY PRICED in our house, we're spoiled to great seafood. So far as take-out crawfish, this is outta the park! Yeah, there's a spanish-speaking clerk, but I wasnt there to converse with her while I waited, just to get huge, delicious crawfish at a great price-- and boy did they deliver! She can stay on the phone all day for all I care; she took my order promptly and then went about her business. They blew my expectations out of the water; every last one was large, too; no babies filling the bottom of the sack. This will be my primary place for me, my family, and any tourist who asks! The mild is pretty mild though, so ask for spicy if you like a kick. read more

Ordered 2 doz. large crabs, boiled, for 4PM pickup. I was the only customer there but still had to wait for about 20 minutes for the crabs. Their seafood is not boiled with seasoning; the seasoning is applied after boiling. Take Note: If you are using a credit card, you will be charged the credit card fee. read more

I bought a sack of select crawfish on Mother's Day. Most of it was dead and the size is more like medium. I called and they do not pick up the phone. Never again will I buy from this place. They ruined our Mother's Day crawfish boil. read more

I ordered 5 pounds of crawfish through waitr. At this time Chez was 17.99 with (2) potatoes, (1) corn and a half sausage. Other restaurants were averaging 27.99. The crawfish were small and there were a few claws mixed in. But they were seasoned well, if you're looking for premium crawfish this may not be your place. But I enjoyed their price point. read more

We ordered two sacks of crawfish on the Saturday before Easter. We were quoted one price, and when we went to pick them up, my sons were charged $85 more. We ordered one medium size sack and one large. The medium ones were sooo small. I called to complain and manager hung up on me. read more

We were from out of town & stopped to get a sack of oysters. Both me & my fiance called to make sure what time they closed & that they had plenty of oysters. I even asked to reserve a sack, and she said they had plenty. Each time we called we got different answers as to when they close. Turns out they don't close until 9 p.m., so we showed up about 6 o'clock to purchase a sack of oysters. When we got there we were told they were out of oysters and they were to dry to sell. Very upset with this place, won't be back read more
