    Grilled Oysters  Dirty Fries
    Lauren O.

    Man listen! Run, don't walk, to Crawdaddy if you are craving authentic creole dishes with deeply complex and rich flavors. I went with a friend on a whim on a Thursday around 4pm. We were the only patrons and our server Omar told us it just opened recently. Omar was kind, patient and thorough! He made us feel right at home. We ended up ordering the chicken and sausage gumbo, grilled oysters, dirty fries with roast beef debris, beignets and bread pudding. .BABY, let me tell you! Everything was seasoned to perfection and came in hearty portions. No need to do the dishes because our plates went back to the kitchen CLEAN! Lol no but really it was that good! Literally I have no complaints! My only suggestion would be to bring back the Oyster Rockefeller (Omar told us they had them during the soft launch and we would've loved to try them) and possibly play some lively music. Other than that between the food, aesthetic and personable staff, Crawdaddy will be added to our roster of regular places to visit.

    Crawfish Etouffe was perfectly balanced with flavors! Server was attentive and friendly! They were out of oysters so call ahead if that's important to you! I'll be back!

    This new restaurant in Pleasantville is a must try! A little piece of New Orleans right here in Westchester. The ambiance was great! I loved the decorations and the art on the wall. The voodoo lounge and jazz music was a nice touch, but I wish the music they played was a little louder and had a more street jazz band vibe to it. The lounge could also use some high tops so people could have a drink or an appetizer. It's a cute space that seems underutilized.The staff were friendly and attentive which is always appreciated. Now let's get into the food because it was delicious and the portions were generous. The dirty fries were probably the best things I had here. 10/10 would recommend and I'm coming back just to eat them again. I loved the pimiento cheese, but I wish the cheese to cracker ratio had been better. An extra scoop of the cheese would've been perfect. I honestly did not care for the hush puppies. They were dry and the blueberry butter didn't add anything to the flavor. They would've been better with the Cajun remoulade. The jambalaya was phenomenal! I've never had it before so I have nothing to compare it to, but I thought it was super flavorful. The po boy was very filling. The acidity worked really well with pickles and mayonnaise together, and the shrimps were perfectly fried. The veg-head is a really great vegan option. It was a good mix of vegetables and it was very tasty. I wasn't super impressed with the beignets. They were warm and doughy, but I've had better. I also tried the lavender lemonade cocktail and it was light and refreshing. Overall, I think this restaurant was really good, and I can't wait to go back. I'll be dreaming about the dirty fries.

    I came in for their Soft Launch so it's hard to rate a place (especially on service) when they first open so I'll have to come back. Ambiance - beautiful! Love the decor and artwork on the walls. You can see all the little details and it's very appreciated. Love the music on the curbside too! New Orleans jazz which is great! "The Voodoo Lounge" could use more seats to complete the area. I would open up the bar so there are another two or three seats in this space. Food - the jambalaya was out of this world! The po-boy sandwiches should have their bread toasted a bit more. Also maybe a side of greens to balance it out. The hush puppies were definitely the worst things we tried. No flavor and you should have a soft butter spread instead of a hard one. Somebody who I ate with actually bit into the ball of butter thinking it was a hush puppy. Also, I would add some virgin speciality drinks like sweet tea or cafe du monde coffee. Overall, I still can't stop speaking about the jambalaya and the beautiful decor. I'll have to come back :)

    Excellent addition to the line up of exceptional restaurants in Pleasantville. The theming inside is very well done, there is the "voodoo lounge" where you can get a drink from the bar window which serves their voodoo lounge exclusive cocktails (the matcha do about voodoo and Mississippi river marg are both great and have unique flavors). The lounge is a great space when waiting for a table or just to hang out and enjoy a cocktail. In the main dining room there is various pieces of art, photographs, and other items from New Orleans adorning the walls. We've been three times and the food has been delicious every time. As we explore the menu trying different things on our visits, the common denominator is the fried catfish fry basket. I am a bit of a fried fish connoisseur, and I have never had fried fish this good anywhere in Westchester, and the homemade french fries pair great with it. The fish's breading is seasoned very well and the remoulade on the side compliments the spice. It has been consistently perfect on each of our visits. For entrees we have also tried the shrimp and grits, which comes with monster, shell on, perfectly tender shrimp in a spicy seafood sauce over grits; the roast beef debris po boy which was huge and loaded with tender shredded beef remoulade and lettuce on a tasty sub roll; and the Jambalaya which had great flavor with every component cooked perfectly, we would have liked a little more spice though. For appetizers the stand out so far has been the very creamy and decadent crawfish mac and cheese, with crawfish being a great stand-in for lobster you would usually expect. The Hush puppies with blueberry butter and the pimento cheese are also good but I wish there was a little more butter (they will bring more if you ask) and cheese to compliment the number of hush puppies and crackers provided respectfully. Looking forward to trying the dirty fries on a future visit. Service has always been very friendly and attentive. We have happily added Crawdaddy's to our rotation of restaurants that we go to and look forward to trying more of their great food!

    Seafood Gumbo

    We came to Crawdaddy's for brunch a week ago. It was SO GOOD. Well worth the drive or train to pleasantville. I personally came by public transit from Jersey City (path to the subway to the metro north), and I'd do it again. It transported me back to Nola. The brunch menu looked good but I wanted the seafood gumbo. It was loaded with seafood-muscles, shrimp, crawfish, clams. And it was so flavorful. Great portion size too. We split the skillet cornbread with blueberry butter. It's not the best cornbread I've ever had but we enjoyed it. My husband got the crawfish frittata off the brunch menu and loved it. I had a bite and it was good. Our friend got the chicken and waffles and he likewise loved it. We also enjoyed the bottomless mimosas. The service was decent. It got busier as time went on because it was Father's Day.

    We had such a fabulous meal. Came to celebrate a birthday. Everything was delicious! The mussels are not be missed! And beignets for dessert! Drinks were on point. Chris is the best waiter: super attentive, helpful in what we ordered, and all around terrific waiter! We cannot wait to go back.

    I'm so happy there is a Creole restaurant right here in Westchester as I've always enjoyed the vibes of these types of places when I see them online and I really love the culture. The inside REALLY takes in on that as I really feel like I'm there as it's truly pays tribute to NOLA. The service was amazing as well. I am vegan, so my boyfriend and I came here to try both vegan entrees and OMG, they were full of flavor and so delicious. I'm glad they can accommodate as I would want to come back to eat them again and try more of the drinks!
