They have cold tea or beer plus fountain drinks. 2 TV with sports and always ample seating. Server was super pleasant and knowledgeable. Got the 1/2 pound combo- Today's price is $46. It comes with crawfish shrimp clams or mussels and snow crab. They also offer a 1lb combo That comes with the same options $92. They even have a $25 combo will you get to pick three items whether it's shrimp crawfish clams or mussels a half pound of each. also comes with one corn and one potato. Personally I love their garlic butter and enjoy that they allow you to make it different spice levels. I'd say mild is similar to siracha spruce level. Whatever seasonings are in the sauce I very much like them. read more

Four Stars - Good We went here on a Monday night, and it was very slow. Our server was nice and periodically checked in on us. The food itself was good. We got the option that fed two people and had all of the seafood options. We also opted to have all seasonings. Thankfully, it wasn't too spicy. The mussels and shrimp were my favorite. It was my first time trying crawfish. I was a little disappointed with the crab because there wasn't a lot of meat, but that might be common for the type of crab that we had. A seafood boil is more expensive, but it is a fun experience once in a while. We would go here again! read more

I honestly don't know what the issue was but once I came in the lady working there right off the bat was rude af. She seems bothered doing her job. She took my order and I asked one question about the menu and gave me the nastiest look. I got my food and never once did she come and check and see how I was doing. I got up a few times to ask for items cause she was nowhere yo be found. After all this the food was just mediocre. Never again! read more

My Favorite Crawfish Spot in the South Sound If you're a seafood boil lover, this place is IT. Their sauce is literally drinkable, the perfect balance of seasoning, spice, and sweetness. I don't know what magic they're putting in it, but I'd bottle it and take it home if I could.... But you know the rule... no extra sauce to take home lol My go-to is the $24 combo, and it's perfect for one person. I get exactly what I want: mussels, crawfish, and shrimp. Every time I've ordered it, the quality has been consistently solid. The shrimp are never mushy and peel with ease, the crawfish are firm and flavorful, and the mussels hold up beautifully in the sauce. Are they fresh? Probably not but you truly wouldn't know. You don't get that "frozen seafood" taste or texture. Everything feels cooked with care, and that's what matters. For flavor, value, and reliability, this is hands down my favorite crawfish spot in the South Sound. I keep coming back... and I'll keep coming back. read more

Really good ! I'd def say it's a place that's well worth it ! I usually order them from uber or DoorDash!! I'd highly recommend you to try them! read more

Best crawfish and butter! I've ordered several times and every time it is delicious, speedy, and super hot!

Customer service was great, food came out quick, and the food was delicious. I got the half pound combo and it was plenty. Also ordered a side of beignets with we're amazing. Definitely recommend for dates or groups. Only down is limited seating; however, everything else easily makes up for that. read more

The food and service is amazing!! The oysters were FRESH and SWEET! We ordered 2 dozen because they were so good!! We did one order half steamed and half raw (not pictured). My family and I ordered 2 of the 1lb and it did not disappoint. The shrimps and crawfish were HUGE. 11/10 on the service too! Our waiter, I believe he's the owner, checked up on us 5+ times to see if we need anything. On point with the service. I would 100% recommend this place and we will be back when we visit again from Hawaii! read more

The food here is awesome if you don't mind a little mess! Be prepared for delicious seafood and Cajun flavors. The only complaint I have is that our boil bags didn't have enough food in them to fill us up. We'll probably ask for extra potatoes and corn next time. Otherwise delicious and doesn't break the bank as much as the other seafood boil spot in Lakewood! read more

food was great.. made it fresh .. some of the best salt and pepper wings over ever had.. 4.5/5 this place is legit! read more

I love this place. I've tried every seafood boil in tacoma and around and this place hands down is the best. it's always easy to peel and they have perfected the sauce. 10/10 read more

Yum! Our first date night out since March! We made such a good choice to try this place! BAE called first to make sure they were allowing dine in. They said yes and that they had 2 tables just waiting for us... So we hopped in the car and headed over. It's in the same little plaza as car toys. Parking was plentiful since nothing is open. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. We were seated near another couple. Super nice people. Wish they were on Yelp, but they're not. Yes. I asked. Lol We ordered the 1 lb combo with garlic butter and medium spicy. They only serve beer, terrible sad beer. BAE had a blue moon. The sweet little waitress brought us our bibs. She tied mine on for me. I didn't even have to ask! Not that I would have. Lol I just super appreciated the gesture. The food was so yummy! Only the mussels tasted spicy. Pretty sure they buy incredible corn (you know the sweet stuff!) The potatoes were cooked perfectly. If you're bad at peeling shrimp or don't know how to eat a crawfish, don't come here. Lol you won't make it through your meal very well. My only complaint is they don't give you wet wipes. Lol those would have been nice. And BAE could have used an extra bib for his lap :p Check the photos and stop by this place! It's great! read more

Beautiful interior designs inside. Helpful/Caring Employees. Clean and Sanitary. Made it to my top list of crawfish places in washington! They had this deal for a pound each of crab, crawfish, shrimp, and clam or mussels that comes with either corn or potatoes for $75. If you wanted half a pound each than it would've been $35. I think it saved us more money than buying each seafood by market prices because it was all $2 more than crawfish house per seafood. I hope that makes sense lol. Crawfish house doesn't have combo deals on their seafood so this drive to Tacoma was worth it. The sauce we had was "I want it all" (lemon pepper, house special sauce, and garlic butter). Garlic was cut into a small piece so you don't get tired of the sauce. It had a lot of flavor and something you wouldn't get tired of! Sauce wasn't even oily or too much grease. Now I can't stop thinking of it! Friend Catfish with fries ($9.99) was a little too salty but the crunchiness was perfected. Never had fried catfish but would come back and order this again. Fries were tasty. I would say everything we ordered was superior. Nothing unsatisfied us. Ordered fresh half dozen oysters and THEY WERE HUGE! Our waiter was very helpful if we didn't like the sauce and gave us more options. If I could rate 10/10 for customer service here, I would. Our waiter was very caring and always checking up on us if we were doing okay. Most places I have dined in have never really checked up on me that much, leaving me to constantly asking for help. Thank you Cung for helping us out so much! (i'm sorry if i didn't spell your name right) Anyways, you made us feel very welcomed and we appreciate your kind self! read more

This is a review for a delivery order so I can't speak to customer service or ambiance. FOOD: I got their 1/2 lb special with all the flavors, the "I want it all" and made it spicy. After a long wait (my delivery guy was late but that does not affect this review) I finally got my food! Luckily it was still warm so I bet it would have been steaming hot if I had got it on time. The special includes 1/2 lb of each: crab legs, crawfish, mussels or clams (I chose clams), and shrimp. Also I found one potato and one piece of corn! The crab was perfect--not overcooked or dry and pretty fresh. The shrimp and clams were okay, I could tell they were not the freshest. The crawfish were decent but same deal--I would notice some were less fresh than the others. The seasoning was good! I wish the spice was actually spicier. It is a combination of their house special, garlic butter, and lemon pepper. The sauce stuck nicely to the seafood and wasn't too runny. Overall not bad but I wish their stuff was fresher. 3 stars! read more

This spot has quickly become my favorite seafood place. My friend and I drive about an hour to get here, and it's always worth it. The food is amazing every time, and the staff is super friendly, always making sure you're getting the best deal. They really make you feel welcome, and the portions are generous! read more

I came in on a Monday and I notice business is slow. Workers are watching the football game and playing cards. I understand there's downtime, that's not my complaint. A worker walks up to me and asks "dine in or take out?" My answer was "I'm here to purchase the sauces!" He continues to tell me that I can't just purchase the sauces and that I must order something in order to purchase the sauces. Not only that, but it's limited to 1 sauce container per customer. I found that weird only because I've been to this spot many times now. Well over 5 times and there was a few times where I came in only to buy the sauce (I want it all sauce) to take home. Ive bought 1 and at times even 2 containers of just sauce. $5 per container. The part I dislike very much about this conversation was when i mentioned how I've done it in the past and there was no issues. However his tone and wording suggested I was lying? There was no way I could've done it because they don't do it. As a regular customer and as a fellow Vietnamese supporting a Vietnamese business that'll be my last purchase and last time there. It would've been nice to have a explanation as of why that's not a thing anymore instead of making me sound like I was lying. After all I'm paying for it with my own money. read more

Dropped in here for an 8th grade graduation dinner. We had a party of 10. We were able to sit together as well. Placed an order for the 1lb combo $80, 2lb snow crab legs, 1lb shrimp headless, an order of fried catfish, an order of wings, 1lb snow crab, shrimp and chicken. Sides of potatoes, corn and sausage. It was good. It was my first time experiencing seafood like this. I don't think I'm a real fan of the "wet" seasoned crab or the shrimp that is not cleaned but overall it was good. If I do come back I would more than likely stick to the fried chicken, sausage and maybe get the crab legs but just steamed plain. read more

The service fantastic. Staff always nice and talkative. Great to enjoy great tasting food and laughs. The food is on point every, every time. When I say this place always delivers no lie being told. We have been going here for now 6 yrs and will continue as they continue to be great at their job. Nicely, spacious and entertaining if that is what you like. I am all about the food, so the rest isn't a concern. Clean and quick to give you what you need. Thank you! read more

I just ordered from this restaurant for the first time ever. I ordered through Uber Eats . I ordered the $25 combo. The three items that I chose were shrimp, mussels, and crawfish. I ordered it spicy with " I want it all " flavor. I also added on an egg. I literally took a few bites and just threw the entire thing away. To start, the shrimp still has the head on!!!! I was not made aware of this while ordering. That completely threw me off. Secondly, the crawfish was not fresh at all. Before i even tried it, I knew that it wouldn't be simply because of how tucked under the tail was. It was absolutely disgusting once I tried it. The mussel was mediocre and mussels are my absolute favorite. Now let's get into the sauce. The sauce immediately irritated me. There was absolutely no spice to it. In fact, the sauce was SWEET! Who wants to eat sweet seafood boils? I really tried to just tough through it but I couldn't. The sauce is what makes the boil. If I could give a negative review, I certainly would. I would not recommend this place to anyone . I am so disappointed and hungry due to having to throw it away because of how awful it was. read more

Yummmm. I've been on an unintentional crawfish hiatus for the last couple months and I couldn't think of a better place to break it at. Seafood boils are in my top 3 and I really like this place! We got the 1 pound combo with potatoes and it was the perfect amount of food. The I Want It All seasoning has great garlic flavor and the sauce to seafood ratio was immaculate. They def did not skimp!! The flavor was there without all the oil and we actually left without a major food coma. Love that for us. I also recommend adding sausage because it was fire as well. The fried catfish was encrusted with major seasoning and spices, and honestly, maybe a little too much haha. She was salty! Though, I like that it was superrr tender and fresh. Better than most fried catfish I've had. The oysters were okay. They had a weird sliminess I wasn't really vibing with. They were big though, which I can really appreciate. The shrimp.. also not great. Kind of overcooked and rubbery and it's unfortunate considering how much I love my shrimp. Lastly, the service was great. Shout to Cung(?) for being the best and consistently checking in on us. We were always needing more gloves or food or whatever and he was so attentive/made it so easy for us. Excited to come back. I'm a fan. read more

My cousin and I have been wanting to try here since we love crawfish and this place was near her. We order our usual 2 lbs crawfish and 2 lbs clams. We ordered it spicy with the I Want it All sauce. They said we had the option to choose between corn or potato, which came with the amount we ordered. We went with the corn. We also ordered fries. The seafood wasn't bad, I just didn't love the sauce flavor, and I felt like the crawfish didn't take in the flavor well. We ordered spicy, and I didn't feel it was spicy at all. The fries were okay; I prefer the cajun-seasoned fries or crispier fries. And my cousin felt like the corn was a bit overcooked; it was dry and not sweet. Pricier than some places we've been to, especially for the clams, but I know it's been tough during this COVID-19 time. My cousin said she'd give it another try with another sauce flavor. read more

My Husband took me on a Sunday date because I told him the night before that I'm craving for seafood, Oysters and shrimps and some crab legs!

We got 1 pounds for shrimp, 1 pound crab legs and 1 dozen Raw Oysters with some corn on the cob and some potatoes with sausage too and the sauce they made for us in mild house sauce, it's kindo sweet and salty and but spicy!

Lol we enjoyed the Sunday game and the amazing food plus to add the service is excellent , For sure this place is now in our favorites seafood restaurant!

So excited and happy that there's finally a crawfish restaurant locally! I've been referred to this place by a lot of my friends, and I can see why! I've never been that big of a fan of a crawfish, but this place definitely changed my mind. The quality of crawfish is top-tier. Not only that, but the sides offered are equally as tasty. The "I want it all" sauce is absolutely amazing. Super flavorful without being overpowering. Another thing I like on the menu are the Vietnamese chicken wings. They're definitely my favorite. Super crispy, juicy, & tender. Prices are great, deals on Facebook are generous, customer service is second-to-none. I can definitely see this new restaurant thrive and be very successful in the future. Welcome to Tacoma, Cravin Crawfish, it's a pleasure having you here. read more

This place deserves all the love because WOW it is amazing! First off, the customer service is great and the owners are so friendly. If you're unsure of what flavor to get, just get the "I want it all" because it's absolutely delicious and the best of both worlds. Regarding spice levels, everyone's tolerance is different. I got the medium spice and it was perfect - it had a good kick to it but wasn't tooooo spicy (for me). Their shrimps are huge right now so I wish I got two pounds instead of one, I definitely will next time. The price matches the quality of the food. Please support this new local business! *NOTE: Someone previously mentioned that New Orleans averages around $5 for this type of food. Please keep in mind that crawfish is fairly popular in New Orleans, and not as common here. Cravin' Crawfish is worth your money. Again, support your local businesses! read more

I've seen on my friend's stories on IG about this new place in Tacoma, of course I had to feed my seafood addiction so we tried it the day after. Literally a day after grand opening. So, I called in a to-go order for 3lbs if CF 1lb of shrimp with "I want it ALL" sauce - Medium (which is super spicy). Their sauce did not disappoint. Different than all the other CF places I've been to, but let me tell you, it's soooo much better than Dragon's. Best in Tacoma. Vietnamese family owned, my boyfriend says they're very nice, welcoming people. Crawfish was fresh & you cannot beat $9.99lb! Loved it! Shrimps could've been bigger cause I couldn't suck/eat on the heads like I usually do lol. So good that we ordered again two days later for the Mild sauce but it was still pretty spicy. My boyfriend told them about the shrimps, they said they'll get the larger gulf shrimp from now on. With that being said..... I recommend this place to my friends/family to try out, unique flavor. Def will be back & I hope this review helps! read more

If yelp let me do 0 star, I was willing to do it! We ordered last night 2 lbs of crawfish, 1 lbs of shrimp and 1 lbs of mussels. The seafood was not fresh, shrimps were stinky and overcooked , and the mussels were also stinky. We also ordered 3x extra sausages for $1.xx each, but there was no sausage in our order. We paid total $80 for the food and it was not like what we had expected. I ordered over the phone, they made it difficult to order and seems like they dont need any of the business. We threw away the whole order right after my wife tried the 1st mussel. read more

By far the worse customer service ever!! I wasn't going to write a review but I'm a yelper! I had place an order for over $150, for pickup. Noticed we were missing fries and 2 pound of clams. Of course I called, instead of having the issue resolved. A simple phone call that should have took 5 mins, went on for almost an hour. The girl that answer the phone, went back and forth for about 20 mins. Trying to figure out the order number, by than. I already gave up and handed the called to my husband. Finally asked for the manager, the girl on the phone. Asked out loud who's the Manager? Wait, what? A gentlemen finally got on the phone (Coon) was the name he gave us. This was for one seasoned fries (the girl already admitted she forgot them) and 2 pounds of clams. Roughly under $35 bucks! Instead of apologizing and correcting the issues for future. We got the run around about they will check the camera. The food was there and packed. Pretty much flat out stating we are lying about the missing items. $7 fries and 2lb of clams, and after the whole ordeal the manager coon offered us a discount-but at this point it didn't even matter anymore. We was disrespected over $35 of a $173 order. After the girl admitted she missed the fries. The manager was still busy accusing us of lying about the situation. We pretty much just let it go. What happened next is what shocked us! The manager called us back the next day to advised us he checked the camera and seen the 2lb of clams in the paper bag they packed! Wow! Really? You called us up the next day to advised us you checked the camera 24 hours later over $35 bucks! After your employee admitted she forgot one of the items already? Beside the messed up customer service and the unprofessional service received the food here is actually good! Sadly because of this issues they lost us as customer. read more
