Crawfish Bros is the real deal!! Their crawfish is fresh and hugeee especially compared to the frozen stuff most places around here charge nearly double for ($10/lb vs $18/lb). Only two flavors on the menu, but that's kind of the point. They focus on doing a few things really well. Both flavors (NOLA + Garlic Butter) are incredible, the crawdads come out massive and fresh, and the sausage links / corn are a solid add-on to round out the meal. It's a casual counter-order setup but the staff are super friendly and thoughtful. I might've just found my favorite crawfish spot in the Bay. Already eyeing their Snack Pack next visit (10 lbs of crawfish for just over $130, unbeatable value)!

Absolutely delicious NOLA style crawfish & today it was only $10/lb! Got myself 2lbs and a corn. $3 for a WHOLE corn-- deals on deals at Crawfish bros. The crawfish were piping hot & still juicy when they came out. The boil was seasoned to perfection & I was very tempted to order another round! When you walk in, you'll see the digital menu to your right and their at-home boil seasonings below it. Order at the counter, and hopefully you can find a space to sit. There is also a small standing table as well. The tables are equipped with gloves and napkins. You can also ask for lemon juice cups at the front! Pro-tip: get there early. They usually sell out before 5pm! Had a brief moment to speak with the owner, they've been in their soft opening phase for the last two months. I can't wait to see what their grand opening brings, they're shooting for June! The support staff are super kinda and thoughtful. We chose to dine in and the staff noticed that there were only standing seats available, she offered to pack it to go incase we didn't want to stand. But of course we opted for the full experience and thankfully some regular seats opened up later on.

1lb Shrimp

Not bad, Not bad. There's been quite a buzz surrounding Crawfish Bros and being that we have some heavy crawfish eaters in the fam, there wasn't any chance of us not giving Crawfish Bros a try. 1st and foremost, this joint is essentially a take out spot for seafood boil. The menu is pretty straight forward offering: combos, crawfish and shrimp sold by the pound, and a few sides to help round our your order. Sides consist of corn [whole cobs], sausage links [whole, uncut], potatoes, and turkey necks. There are only 2 flavors to choose from: NOLA or GARLIC BUTTER. Shrimp seems to only be available with garlic butter. Our takeout order consisted of: *4lbs NOLA crawfish *4lbs Garlic Butter crawfish *2 sausage links *1lb Shrimp Be advised that there is a service fee that will be automatically added to your tab. I'm not sure if this is strictly set for credit card payments. Food took a bit of time to come out but there staff was working with quite a bit of orders. Orders come out warm IMO. Don't come here expecting piping hot bags with steaming air begging to be released. The live seafood is cooked in the back and then placed in massive metal bowls to be weighed out and bagged. FOOD: The crawfish was legitimately good. Both NOLA and garlic butter flavoring was good but I find garlic butter reigns supreme. The crawdads were massive in size and very fresh. Shrimp was plump and not overcooked. Our entire party did not care for the sausages and at $5 a pop, I would have enjoyed potatoes more. Pricing is a lot more affordable vs the other crawfish eateries. Crawfish Bros is highly recommended when it comes to being a good bang for your buck but the flavorings are absolutely limited. 4/5 stars. I'd easily come back but only wished the food was hotter in temp.

The crawfish here are amazing! You can definitely tell they're imported from Louisiana because they are huge, especially compared to the smaller Sacramento ones you usually see around here. Both the NOLA and Garlic Butter flavors are incredible - I can't decide which I like more. Just a heads up: when you ask for spicy, it is actually spicy! The staff is super friendly, and the prices are so good I really hope they stay this low. I'm already planning my next visit! A quick tip on logistics: the parking lot and the dining area are both very small, so it's not really a date-night spot, and you might want to park a bit further away. Honestly, the best move is to buy in bulk, take it home, and go HAM with some ice-cold beers!

Nola crawfish and potatoes
Diana T.

Been hearing a lot of hype about this place being affordable crawfish, which is so rare to hear. Service: The owner is friendly and super nice. The whole kitchen and service was run by himself. Please be patient as the service can take some time. Ambiance: The place is clean and small. 3 tables, so be aware about limited seating. I came in on Thursday 1-ish pm, and there was some wait time before ordering. Nola crawfish $9/lb (4/5): Tasted like authentic Louisiana crawfish, and it had a kick (mild-medium spice). Cooked in a broth that's a bit tad too salty. It was so fresh and huge. Garlic butter $11/lb (5/5): This was yummy, definitely preferred this over Nola. I have noticed that these were a little more difficult to crack open than the Nola, as if they're not as fresh. Potatoes $3 (3/5): These were standard potatoes, nothing special. $3 for 3 potatoes tho, that's cheap compared to other spots charging $3 a potato. I would honestly come back again since it's such a bargain. I hope the price can stay affordable over time. I saw they take orders to purchase sacks of live crawfish.

Francis T.

Actually good crawfish. They're massive and fresh and super worth it for the price! $9 /lb for crawfish and it's not just the shell, there meat in the claws. Super homie place and located in a pretty small plaza too. 10/10 would come back again.

I came here with my sister a few days ago and we were shocked by the fair prices and taste. They are also a family owned business :) Taste: We preferred the garlic butter because of how rich and creamy it was. Parking: Small plaza but easy to find parking. Note that the seating is very limited here.

New prices towards end of Louisiana crawfish season
Catherine L.

Consistently so good and fresh. The crawfish here always have a lot of head butter/fat, so creamy and delicious! Prices did go up since it's near end of the season. But the owner said they will still have fresh crawfish until October though since there's a CA farm!

Sally L.

ordered 2 lbs of shrimp, 2 lbs of crawfish and 3 corn and one sausage link the crawfish was very lukewarm. seems like they don't prep it as orders are placed. shrimp was hot, but lacked flavor. crawfish had more flavor/spices. didn't really hit the spot for me. corn just tasted like butter. little to no flavor in the garlic butter. this is very grab and go. they only have 3 tables inside.

6 pounds, 5 corn and rice.

Omg!!! I'm so glad I don't live too close to these Bros because I would be here everyday! Their crawfish has more flight miles than I do. The owner goes to the airport every morning to get the days catch. They sell out fast so get there early. We ordered 6 pounds to start off with and had to order two more. Flavor of the medium garlic butter was perfect. We also ordered the traditional nola style which was cooked to perfection.

4lbs NOLA style
Ruby A.

I genuinely loved this place! I ordered 4lbs of NOLA style crawfish and 2 shots of garlic butter on the side for dipping. We took our order to go to enjoy at home. They cook the crawfish perfectly and it had a perfect amount of spice. The crawfish were juicy, and there were a bunch of huge ones, and maybe 2 straight tailed ones (which you should know not to eat crawfish if the tails are straight). Anyways, the guys working the joint are super nice, and are new to the area, so give em some credit. I would recommend this spot to everyone and would be back in a heartbeat if I didn't live so far away!

Viviane N.

My picks: - Nola Crawfish - Garlic Butter Shrimp So addicting I could eat 4lbs of crawfish in one sitting and still crave it the next day. First time trying authentic Louisiana style crawfish. I like it because it's much lighter so you need can eat a lott. Their crawfish are big & fresh! Seating is limited so don't come expecting you'll for sure get a table. Bring it home and enjoy! Prices are insanely good IMO. Currently 2 brothers running the show so please be patient as they're doing the best they can! No phone orders right now, but you can call to ask if they're sold out or not. I already know I'll be here every week lol...

Does the NOLA style contain any butter in the boil?

No butter at all in NOLA style. Honestly, doesn't need it. NOLA seasoning is good as is!

The garlic fries were cooked to the perfect level of crispiness, while the lobster garlic noodles were flavorful, savory, and packed with garlic goodness. The seafood itself was fresh and good quality, but I found the House Special Mild sauce a little underwhelming. I was hoping for more depth and flavor, but most of what I tasted was a mild kick of heat. While it wasn't bad, it didn't have the rich, buttery, and well-seasoned flavor profile that I typically look for in a seafood boil sauce. Service was great throughout our visit. We were seated promptly, our food arrived quickly, and any requests we had were fulfilled without issue. The staff was attentive and made the dining experience smooth and enjoyable. I also appreciated the restaurant's nautical theme. The decor featured fishing nets, ship-inspired accents, and other sea-themed elements that helped create a fun and immersive atmosphere. Overall, I'm glad we gave this place a try. The garlic noodles and fries were delicious, and the service was excellent. While I would probably choose other seafood boil spots in the future, this was still a solid experience and worth trying at least once.

Since that night, it has become the only seafood boil spot that I consistently come back to. My go-to order is the shrimp and crawfish with their Sweet California sauce, along with a side of garlic noodles. The Sweet California sauce is what keeps me returning. It's not your typical Cajun seafood boil sauce--it has a unique flavor that's completely its own and sets this place apart from every other seafood boil restaurant I've tried. Depending on when you visit, the restaurant can either be packed or nearly empty. It's a smaller space, and large parties tend to come through often, so wait times can vary. One thing to keep in mind is that the host, server, and food runner are often the same person. Because of that, I always try to give them some grace. If you need something, just let them know, and they'll do their best to take care of you as quickly as possible. Don't let the small exterior fool you--this place is absolutely delicious. Whether it's 11 a.m. or 3 a.m., I'll happily find myself back here for another seafood boil.

This place gets pretty busy so just keep in mind you might have to wait before getting seated. As for food, we ordered the 3lb combo (1 crawfish, 2 shrimp) in sweet California mild, rice, fries and grilled oysters. The combo came out pretty fast. I really love this sweet California sauce- it's creamy and delicious. I would even try medium since I hardly taste the spice for a mild. The fries and grilled oyster took a while to come out. Fries were good. The grilled oysters were yummy but I don't think I'd order them again. Service can be a bit slow. I would ask them for more limes or a bowl and they would forget and I would have to ask them again. However, I will say the workers here are very kind! Overall, good food, ok service - definitely coming back!

We asked how many corn there was, he said there was ONE. When the plate came, there was 4. We could of ordered something else for the side if it was clearer. I wish there was more clearer instructions on ingredients when we already said it was our first time dining in. Also there was only ONE single potato. My coworker also ordered a side of Garlic noodles. Everything was super delicious. It was the amount of spicy mild that we like. The environment was busy, but clean. Parking was easy to find.

A lot of…read moreseafood boil places are closed on Monday but I was lucky to find this one and quickly got seated. I was greeted by a really nice young guy (didn't get his name) who handed me a menu to look at. I combed over the menu and decided to order shrimp and added corn, potato, and side of steamed rice. You're able to choose from a variety of sauces and can choose your own spice level. I decided to go with their house sauce which i felt was a fusion of Cajun and garlic butter sauce; with a medium spice level. I do want to add the shrimp doesn't have a set price. The price is dependent on the Market price which turned out to be 15.99 for a pound of shrimp. You don't get to choose headless, the shrimp comes in its full form; which is fine by me. But I know some people prefer shrimp without the head on. I'd like to add this place has very reasonable prices for their boils; compared to a lot of their competitors Ie. Boiling crab. The boil it's self was a 4/5 with the house sauce and all the added sides. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and wasn't overcooked. Service: 5/5 The young guy with glasses who served me was very kind and attentive. Overall I give this place a 5/5 I will definitely be returning.

The servers can be extremely rude and for no reason, but I try to be tolerable and understanding. It's no wonder there is such high turnover because I never see the same service staff twice. Anyway, I think these guys recently had a change in ownership because the food tastes better than what I can remember. During our most recent visit, our party of 3 ordered an entire spread of crawfish, clams, shrimp, garlic noodles, raw oysters, fries, etc. and just went in. You can elect for your choice for sauce, and spice level -- and add any preferred extras like corn, sausages, and potatoes. The sauce and flavors have drastically improved compared to previous dine in experiences. This would be a good choice for a Cajun crawfish and seafood boil treat, but I can't stand on the service you'll receive -- hit or miss. Bonus: bring your own seafood dipping sauce. My girl made a spicy tamarind sauce perfect for seafood and I took a bottle with me for dipping.

I was really disappointed with our visit. I haven't been to The Boiling Crab in years--probably 7…read moreyears or more. One reason is that I don't live in the San Jose area anymore, and another is that there are now so many seafood boil spots around since Boiling Crab really started the trend. One positive right away: there was no long wait. We arrived around 8pm and were seated immediately, which was great. I remember the days when we'd have to put our name down and walk around Target while waiting for our table. I do wish they offered combo bags like a lot of other seafood boil places do now, since that's always a hit. Instead, we ordered 3 pounds of shrimp with whole-sha-bang sauce in mild. The shrimp themselves were great--nice and big, not the tiny peanut-sized ones you sometimes get. The flavor was also really good. However, the "mild" tasted much spicier than I remembered. From past visits, mild always had a small kick but was still pretty manageable. This honestly tasted closer to medium. My boyfriend politely asked one of the servers if he could get a small side of garlic butter because the sauce was spicier than expected. She immediately responded that it would be $5 for extra sauce, and the way it was said came off pretty rude. We understand that there's an option to make the bag "extra saucy" for an additional charge, but he wasn't asking for extra sauce for the whole bag--just a small side to balance out the spice. Even a simple response like "I'm sorry it came out spicier than expected" would have gone a long way. I've worked in customer service for over 15 years, and I've always believed in "kill them with kindness." We weren't rude at all--we just mentioned that it seemed spicier than mild. In the end, we decided to just skip the extra sauce. Again, the flavor was still good, but to me this definitely tasted more like medium. When we got our check, a different server asked how everything was. My boyfriend mentioned that the sauce was spicier than mild, and she responded with, "Oh no, I'm sorry it wasn't exactly what you wanted." We told her it wasn't her fault since we had already mentioned it earlier, and she just gave us a sympathetic look. Overall, the food itself was good, and I'd probably give it a 4 for taste, but the lack of customer service knocked the experience down for me. I understand it was later in the evening and they still had a full lobby, but a little kindness and attentiveness would have made a big difference.
