    Yes indeed! Nobody told me about this hidden gem in Spring Branch. Thanks to Houston Restaurants Week, my Hubs and I came for lunch and left with dinner it was so much food. All the workstaff were nice and made awesome recommendations. The mango sweet tea was my favorite however the Hubs said his strawberry lemonade could have been a lil more sweeter. Them crab legs with the mother sauce was finger lickin' good. OMGOODNESS 10/10, we'll be back again.

    We were passing by Houston on the way home and were looking for a crawfish spot. We found this place on YELP and it didn't disappoint. We ordered 5lbs of crawfish and got 1 lb free. The extra items were all separate which is the only reason I'm giving four stars. The extra items added up for just two people to eat. The recommend house spice was delicious. The crawfish were made fresh and the food came out hot. Can't wait to go back for crawfish.

    Cajun Pasta - Shrimp & Crawfish
    Shelly A.

    I hope some of the dishes are good, but I experienced too many "off" things to have any interest in returning. (1) A team member was outside smoking directly in front of the entry door. He had to move out of the way for me to approach the door. (2) Pepsi only (3) The pasta I ordered was served dine-in with a plastic fork. No. Just no. I requested a real fork. A short search expedition and quick rinse had to occur. (4) The pasta sauce tasted like Zatarain's in a cream. Maybe that does it for some people, but I'm a hard pass on that. It's not even about the spice; it just doesn't taste good. The crawfish and shrimp in the pasta were overcooked and rubbery. (5) The music at 2pm was pumpin'. I'm sure some people like it or could care less. I prefer a calmer vibe at lunch. It wasn't overly loud, just an odd weekday lunch vibe.

    Crawfish with Zaddy Sauce
    Candy C.

    Ordered Crawfish Fried Rice and Crawfish with Zaddy Sauce to go. The crawfish were tasty but small, I was told it is still early in the season. Unfortunately, there were a handful of inedible mushy ones. Fried rice was meh on its own but there was a sauce in the box that made it pretty tasty. Service was good. It's a family friendly dining.

    Blue crab
    Sarah E.

    I've been to this establishment twice and had their blue crabs both times which were flavorful. crabs were big and meaty. We got about two crabs per pound. Personally, I prefer the house special over the claw daddy sauce but I haven't tried the other two. I've also had their crawfish, which was tasty and full of flavor. They're generous with the truffle garlic butter fries and Parmesan fries and they both meet expectations but it's nothing spectacular. I enjoyed the garlic butter noodles. Excellent service. Staff members are friendly, quick and attentive. They returned to check on us many times to clear the seafood shells and refill our drinks. They packed our crawfish to go for us with bibs, gloves and multiple bags there was no spillage and the car did not smell of Cajun seafood. When I went on the weekend, there was a 30 minute wait and when I went on a weeknight, there was no wait. Restaurant and restroom are clean.

    LORD HAVE MERCY! This place slaps... period. The crawfish is fresh, the spices are packed with flavor and not overbearing. I wanted to order everything on the menu but I was so full. Will be returning for more!

    Mango margarita
    Dez V.

    Grilled oysters were ok... I would have liked them cooked d a bit longer. The garlic noodles were good, small portion for the price though. They margarita was good. Food took a while to come out. Ambiance was clean. Would I visit again?... probably not.

    Traveling 1,000 miles from Greensboro, NC to Houston, TX just to go to Clawdaddy might sound crazy but it was worth every mile. The seafood was packed with flavor, the frozen watermelon Jolly Rancher daiquiri was so refreshing, and that Michelada with its tangy spices kept me sipping nonstop. Now I'm home and already craving it again. Clawdaddy isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience. Oh, the staff's warmth and hospitality made the entire visit unforgettable. RECOMMENDED!

    Fried fish and fries
    Sophia D.

    I was born in Texas, raised in Louisiana, and worked at several Cajun restaurants. Been in the restaurant industry in general for 10 years. These are my credentials since anyone can just leave reviews nowadays. TLDR: Clawdaddy has great food, reasonable prices, and tasty daiquiris with exceptionally diligent service. I brought my girl here because she's never experienced Viet-Cajun style seafood, nor has had fried fish before. Not to mention she's the pickiest eater in the entire world and simply can't be bothered to eat at times-- I had to make sure where we were going was good. Clawdaddy was perfect. The fried fish is Swai, a problem for some maybe, but to me still a tender, flakey fish that's easy to eat, especially because my girl doesn't like anything "fishy." The batter was crisp and crunchy at the edges, not cornmeal which in my opinion is too grainy. She came back for more which is a huge win in my book. The fries they serve with it are the battered kind, not too thick nor thin with the fluffiest potato inside and also crunchy and crispy. Definitely recommend the fried seafood options. Now the real star-- the crawfish and snow crabs. We went with the Zaddy sauce, which is a combination of the House Special (garlic, butter, Cajun seasoning) and Chef Z's (tangy citrus, garlic butter, Cajun seasoning blend). Mild because my girl will cry if she sees a grain of pepper. There's a lotttt of garlic so if you don't like garlic or you're on a first date or maybe you're just a vampire that's into Cajun food, maybe not opt for this one. It was tasty, but maybe it's the way America has built me but the foundational flavor wasn't as pronounced as I would've liked it. Not a super big deal, but I think I'll go for the house special and dry seasoning instead for more saltiness next time. Blood pressure going up on a Tuesday kind of vibe. The crawfish itself is for sure live. Incredibly juicy and succulent, and for those who aren't able to tell-- simply crack the claw open, and taste the meat. It should be tender, moist, and not at all dry. I felt like the butter must've seeped into the claws somehow considered how juicy they were. Crawfish right now is on the medium size and priced at $9.99/lbs as of February 2025. Now the snow crabs. God, the snow crabs were amazing. Everything the crawfish was, the snow crabs were as well and so much more. Tender, succulent, and the meat was sweet and just perfect. My girl tried it for the first time and agreed that it was wonderful. I'm so damn happy she got to experience snow crabs the way they're meant to be enjoyed. Besides the food, we also got daiquiris, and my girl particularly enjoyed the strawberry. Sweet, ice cold, what more could you ask for to combat the high blood pressure and cholesterol. Alan (Allen?) was our server and he's great. Informative, attentive, quick to remove trash from our table as well as get our refills without checking up on us too much. Definitely knows how to feel out the vibes of his guests. The owner's sister was also equally attentive, and having not initially known her title beforehand, I leaned in and whispered to my girl that she was probably the manager given the work she was putting in. Some managers sit behind the register and call it a day, but Ma'am was helping clear tables, engaging with the customers and asking how everything was, ensuring we get refills whenever the other servers were busy. Incredible team effort, and I definitely see it and respect it. That's how you know they care about their establishment, and that's when there's true value in supporting a small business. Thank you Clawdaddy, we'll be back!

    Stopped in with the family, and im glad we did. We tried the crawfish with the daddy sauce and seafood fried rice and chicken The crawfish had a nice flavor and decent flavor . The wings were crispy and delicious with duck sauce. Trust me, ask for duck sauce. The rice had good flavor. I liked the sauce they gave on the side. Service was great the staff is really personable. The prices are decent. I mean, all seafood is high right now.

    Fried Mushrooms
    Laurie A.

    Bring your appetite! We had the friend mushrooms and pickles for appetizers. We ordered a meal for four and had food left over. Potato's were great. Corn was great. The only thing I didn't care for was the sausage. Portions are big. Service was great. They also have multiple TVs and the Astros game on.

    Hot Cheeto boudin ball
    Jennifer J.

    We love Clawdaddy!! The food is always spot on and the service is second to none. The restaurant has a great vibe to it. The staff is so attentive. I got the boiled snow crab and shrimp in the Mama's sauce. So. Good. The hot Cheeto boudin ball & fried rice were absolutely perfect in every way.

    Crab
    Amanda Leigh R.

    OK, so my boyfriend and I went here last night and we ordered a bunch of stuff. We literally ate everything besides our fried rice. I took the fried rice home because we were stuffed and we cleared everything but the fried rice because we didn't have any room left in our tummies.. BUT!!! The food was really good and fresh. All the ladies serving us were very nice. There are TVs and music playing. It's a clean restaurant. I will definitely come back. Did not disappoint at all!! we left with our tummies full! Please don't come here and complain about the service or your food coming out slow. It's literally because they're cooking it fresh!! They don't have their stuff already premade so it takes a little longer so if you're fine with that, I think you will really like this place!!

    The yummy house sauce is the freaking best... it's so good... I'm still thinking about it a few…read moredays later... We got the 6 Ibs medium spice level with corn and potatoes. Unfortunately adding corn and potato's is an additional cost but it's so worth it. Curious to try the leftover sauce with the rice next time We also got the gulf oysters which came with your typical oyster dressings. They were so fresh and plump!!! Next time I would try the premium seasonal oysters :)

    I really wanted this to be a hit. Seafood, oysters, alcohol....vibes and a time right? It wasn't…read more I tried the bang bang shrimp, fried pickles, and chargrilled oysters. Something simple that should be an easy win. Unfortunately, everything leaned the same direction: either it was heavy, over-sauced, or overly garlicky. It tasted more like dressed-up frozen food than something thoughtfully prepared. And listen...I don't mind indulgent. But there still has to be balance and fresh food. Fresh like it was raw and delivered today, not fresh like fried in the last 15 mins. When everything is coated, covered, and competing, nothing actually stands out. The drinks didn't help either. They leaned hard on alcohol without much flavor behind them--more "this will get you there" than "this tastes good." Nothing was terrible. But nothing made me want another bite, either. And with seafood, that's kind of the whole point. The atmosphere is friendly, great music, and the service was very attentive. Even the presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't enough. But at some point, you stop asking what's missing and just accept that it's not landing. I was still hungry so I went next door hoping for a better experience. I want to be clear: It's not bad. It's just not working.

    Back at one of my favorites!…read more Started with the Smoked Redfish Dip and, as always, it did not disappoint. Creamy, smoky, flavorful, and paired with warm crackers... an easy 10/10. I decided to step outside my comfort zone and try the Oysters Rockefeller... and let's just say they weren't my speed. They weren't bad, just not for me. So naturally I sent them back and ordered my tried-and-true favorite... Chargrilled Oysters with extra garlic butter, Parmesan, and bacon. Now THAT'S what I came for! Rich, buttery, cheesy, smoky, and absolutely loaded with flavor. Every bite reminded me why these are my go-to. And because brunch rules apply... it was only right to enjoy a pineapple mimosa (or two ). Light, refreshing, and the perfect pairing for all that seafood. If you're visiting Goode Co. Seafood, my advice is simple: Don't skip the Smoked Redfish Dip. Order the Chargrilled Oysters. Add extra garlic butter. Thank me later. 9.5/10 -- I'll definitely be back! #LoveJonesEats #HoustonEats #GoodeSeafood #ChargrilledOysters #SeafoodLover #HoustonFoodie #BrunchVibes #MimosaMood #SupportLocal #FoodieFinds

    I wandered in not expecting much, but my experience here ended up much better than I thought…read more I went with their August prix fixe and went with their Truffle Deviled Eggs, Crispy Sweet & Sour Shrimp, and Key Lime Tart. The deviled eggs make good comfort food and was satisfying. This version doesn't have much of a kick, but it's very creamy and you can definitely taste the truffle oil. The homemade potato chips also add to the texture and salt between bites. The shrimp dish was fun with a light and crispy batter, well-seasoned and drizzled with sweet chili sauce. The cool ranch surprisingly added to the shrimp and enhanced the chili sauce rather than overwhelming it. The made-in-house fries were far better than expected. I was somewhat expecting dense, oily, boring fries, but these were very crisp and somehow didn't feel too greasy as far as fries goes. Almost seemed like an injustice for it to be served with ketchup as it was too good for it. Lastly, the tart was a great way to end the meal without it being too much. Loved the crust. The tart shell tasted really good and went well with the filling, which had a lighter consistency than pudding. Fruits tasted like they were on season, even though it should be a bit too late for strawberries. I'm also a sucker for meringue. I'll have to come back to see if it wasn't a fluke, but there were a lot of dishes here that looked good. Maybe even swing by for happy hour, we'll see. Definitely a nice spot to visit in this neighborhood.

    Came here with a friend for Happy Hour and it was a good time!…read more It was pretty empty when we got here around 4 but got pretty packed after ~5:30. We ordered the following: - Mama Pauly's Meatballs - Buttermilk Popcorn Chicken Bites - White Truffle Devil Eggs - Single Cheeseburger Separate from the Happy Hour Menu: - KP's Wicked Wings (BBQ Flavor) - Crispy Sweet n/ Sour Shrimp Out of everything we ordered from the happy hour menu, I would personally recommend the meatballs, truffle devil eggs, and cheeseburger. The meatballs and tomato sauce were both solid and I loved the toasted bread on the side. As for the truffle deviled eggs, that's something you don't see often on the menu! The truffle flavor/aroma was solid and the fresh chips on top were nice. The cheeseburger was pretty good and I enjoyed all the veggies that came with! Aside from that, the restaurant had a neat interior/decorations and good service!

    Wow this place really blew me away. It's a near perfect spot for a business lunch or dinner (or if…read moreyou're willing to splurge with your own money for a good meal or a hot date). I wasn't sure what to expect based on the name of the restaurant, but essentially their seafood options are spectacular. And it feels like an exclusive club because the decor and service are both very much high class and special. We tried the coconut shrimp as the appetizer and really liked it. It was lightly fried and the shrimp was cooked to perfection - not under and not over. I would highly recommend this one to start. Loved it. If you're looking for a fair-priced meal, they have lots of salad and sandwich options. I tried the salmon poke bowl and it was so delicious. The fish was extremely fresh, and all the flavors blended together really well. It was like a healthy party in my mouth. It was great decision. You wanna splurge a bit and live large like YOLO? You gotta get the crab cake. Now, how good can a crab cake be? Well, if you're paying close to $50 for one crab cake, you better believe it's gonna be freaking awesome. And alas, it was. Best crab cake I've ever had in my life, no joke. And I've tried a lot of crab cakes in my many decades of dining out. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back many times. Enjoy! Quick note on parking - plenty of parking in a huge lot shared by many businesses such as Kenny and Ziggy's. Only annoying part is several sections of the lot are designated for specific businesses, so just look for the signs and be willing to park a little bit further away towards Taco Deli and Bluestone.

    I was excited to finally try Balboa Surf Club since I drive by it all the time and it's located…read morenear several of my favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in quite some time. We had an 8:00 PM reservation but weren't seated until around 8:30 PM. While delays happen and I was willing to overlook that, the experience only went downhill from there. We ordered Palomas to kick off our Friday night. The drinks took quite a while to arrive, and when they did, they were noticeably watered down. I politely mentioned it to our server, who quickly took them back and brought replacements, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the second round was nearly identical to the first. When I brought it up again, instead of acknowledging the feedback, the server responded by saying it was "just not a sugary drink." That completely missed the point. I wasn't expecting a sweet cocktail--I was pointing out that the drinks tasted diluted and poorly made. What bothered me most wasn't the drinks themselves, but how the feedback was handled. I wasn't looking for free drinks or trying to be difficult. I was simply offering honest feedback, and it felt like my opinion was being dismissed rather than heard. Unfortunately, the food didn't redeem the experience. We ordered several dishes to get a good sense of the menu, and most were overwhelmingly salty. The salt overpowered any other flavors to the point that we couldn't finish some of the dishes. The sushi was the best thing we had, but even that lacked the presentation and quality I would expect at this price point. To be fair, the manager did remove the drinks from our bill as a courtesy, and I appreciate that gesture. However, by that point the damage had already been done. A resolution is only effective when guests feel heard and respected throughout the process. Instead, I felt like I had to defend my opinion and justify my feedback before anyone took it seriously. At the end of the day, a restaurant can be trendy, crowded, and beautifully designed, but none of that matters if the food and service don't deliver. Balboa Surf Club has the atmosphere and location, but in my experience it falls short where it matters most. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried it because I had always been curious, but now I know I won't be back and cannot recommend it. If you're looking for a similar concept, I'd recommend Hudson House. The atmosphere is comparable, but the drinks are consistently well-made, the food is much better, and the service has always been far superior.

    Got to come back here with some visitors! More people means…read moremore food! Great food and service. Parking in the garage or on the street (which is apparently free via app after 7??). Faves: Marinated crab fingers Smoked redfish dip Biscuits Fried okra BBQ blue crabs Flounder (daily catch) Banana pudding (No bananas for me, but beloved by everyone else)

    Another great spot for happy hour bites and bevs! Happy hour is Monday-Friday 5-6:30pm with $1.50…read moregulf oysters, $8 cocktails, and $8 select wines. They also have some food specials. My first happy hour visit I tried their Mississippi-style chicken on a stick (good, but I prefer San Antonio's milanesa version dipped in pickled jalapeno juice). But standouts at Josephine's, for me, are the: :: Smoked redfish dip--we sometimes order two because my boyfriend powers through this app. :: Blue Crab Rice Bowl--a lot of fun flavors going on and it's very filling. Make it an entree. :: And of course, their oysters. I'm an oyster happy hour girlie! Check out my Yelp list of oyster happy hours: https://www.yelp.com/collection/ZhuQbFKQfzO2TR6QFYMc0w/Oyster-Happy-Hour :: The beau loves their pea salad; said it's just like his grandma used to make. I don't fully rec the the jerk fish collars, as this dish has a lot of bones and it's hard to eat. They have indoor and outdoor seating, a great cocktail list--they've got frozen margs and frozen sidecar.

    3rd time to this location,(best) Bellaire is 2nd and the Pearland location comes in last place(food…read morewasn't hot and a little salty) and now we've tried them all! I got my usual Kickin Cajun Crawfish - spicy -so much flavor and it really isn't too spicy! Hubs got the 1lb headless shrimp with Texas Cajun- spicy with garlic butter and they were perfectly cooked. Okra-5/5 very lightly breaded Crawfish eggrolls- meh Wings- Cajun buffalo 5/5 taste like Franks with added Cajun flavors We didn't get it this time but get the red beans and rice- yummmm(better here because it isn't dry like the Bellaire location) service is quick and friendly and the time to come is at lunch or early because they get really busy!

    Nut allergy friendly: Pretty much no issues here!…read more Parking: There's some in the strip mall but definitely less than at the Bellaire location. 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.
