    Crawfish beignets
    Stanley S.

    Loved the Vietnamese style crawfish at crawfish cafe! Viet cajun fusion crawfish is the best of the best crawfish style and this is the closest spot outside of downtown and Bellaire . We visited during peak season in April and the mud bugs were as big as regular shrimp. We ordered a few pounds of the Thai basil and crazy Cajun crawfish extra spicy along with with some garlic butter shrimp. The spice kevel wasn't too bad and if you want some actual heat order extra spicy. Crawfish were large and sweet and the shrimp was equally as good. The Thai basil was probably my favorite flavor as I prefer the sweet/savory Asian flavors over plain pepper in normal Cajun boils. For apps we ordered the oyster nachos which were served on crispy wontons and crawfish beignets which were cheesy and infused with fresh crawfish and topped with Cajun seasoning. Overall an excellent experience our waitress Alexis was attentive and service was overall friendly and timely. Easily the top Viet cajun crawfish spot in the SE Houston suburbs.

    Service is good. Food is great. Mixed drinks are limited. They tend to run out. We paid $17 for half of dozen chargrilled oysters that arrived with out meal. Will skip them next time. Environment is nice but tv is turned down during final basketball playoffs.

    I came to Crawfish Cafe for the charbroiled oysters. I was in the area with friends for the Houston rodeo and we wanted charbroiled oysters. The service was good. We went during lunch. We were quickly seated and served. Our food came out quickly and our drinks came out quickly. The ambiance of the restaurant was casual. It was a relaxed environment. I got the Category 5 drink. I was strong and tasty. The charbroiled oysters were a 5 out of 5. We got two appetizers. The boudin balls and crawfish egg rolls. The boudin balls were 2.5 out of 5 and the crawfish egg rolls were 1 out of 5. I really would pass on the appetizers. They could make a lot of improvement on the appetizers.

    I went "towards the end of" crawfish season and let me tell you those crawfish were hugeeeee. It was very tasty. Know that the garlic is kind of a sweet flavor and when you get the garlic seasoning it is super garlicky. Our server was absolutely sweet and amazing too. Definitely check it out ! We also got the crawfish egg rolls I would give like A 7/10 . Bread was 11/10

    Good solid seafood with all the fixings you would want. I would say it is a little pricey but service was good and the atmosphere felt trendy. I would go here if I'm on a date or trying to impress while eating seafood with my gloves on and a bib. Lol. Otherwise I would go somewhere else and not care about getting my hands a little dirty! We ordered 3 lbs of crawfish with 2 sausage links, crawfish bread and a side of their garlic pasta.

    So glad they opened a closer location no more driving to Bellaire or the Heights. The food tastes exactly the same as their other locations, which is a huge plus. My go-tos are the oyster nachos and the Grail Mix crawfish always on point. They were also one of the first spots to consistently have live crawfish, back when most places either had frozen or kept running out. I easily eat here 1-2 times a week during crawfish season. And if boiled seafood isn't your thing, their fried baskets are a great option too.

    First time going to the crawfish cafe in pearland but I decided to try the fried shrimp po boy instead since I was going to get crawfish afterwards anyways. I lowkey should've gotten it here instead because their crawfish was $3 cheaper a pound here. I honestly wasn't expecting the po boy to be this big. They give you a decent amount of shrimp here. They had a nice coating of breading and were flavored well. I used the mayo, Tabasco, and Cajun seasoning they had on the table and it definitely elevated the po boy. I also got a side of garlic noodles. I was kinda put off by the taste, it had more zest than I was expecting. For a weekday lunch, this place was packedddd, try to come on off peak times

    Garlic Noodles and Oysters

    Crawfish Cafe did not disappoint. Blessed to have came here on my end of the year trip to Houston. Oysters were plump and delicious, grits were wonderful and the crawfish cheese bread was perfect! The seafood boil topped it off for us and even though the crawfish wasn't love fresh, it was still amazing. I just learned that this crawfish cafe opened earlier this year and I'm happy to have gave it an experience. The service was good and the restaurant was clean. Hoping it maintains that way!

    As a long-time fan of Crawfish Cafe, starting from their original spot in Bellaire and following their journey to the Heights, I was excited to see the recent opening of their new location in Pearland. With spacious parking available in a great plaza, my expectations were high as I drove out to support the business. Upon arrival, I was pleased to find the staff incredibly friendly, and I was seated immediately after entering the establishment. I ordered my usual favorites: the coco loco crawfish and blue crabs with fried okra. However, there was a mix-up with my order, but I appreciated their swift response in correcting it. When it comes to the taste, though, I was disappointed. Everything was excessively salty, which was quite shocking given Crawfish Cafe's previously high standards. If I had done a blind taste test, I wouldn't have recognized my meal as coming from them. Crawfish was quite small, crabs was overcooked where it became mushy. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish my food as the saltiness made me feel uncomfortable. For now, I think I'll stick with the Bellaire and Heights locations. I hope this new spot can find its footing and return to the quality I've come to love from Crawfish Cafe.

    Deliciously flavored Asian style crawfish. Plenty of sauce and flavor on the crawfish and they were all decent size being this early in the season and after a cold front. Very crowded and had a short wait. The restaurant is clean and has tvs for you to watch the games. Service was good and they were very attentive. Very lucky to have crawfish cafe in pearland.

    My co-worker came here for dinner. He got the catfish poboy and fries. I got the Cajun fried rice with half crawfish and half shrimp. My coworker said his poboy was not bad, but definitely had better. My rice was good, but could've used some more Cajun seasoning in my opinion. The waitress struggled. We had to continually ask for refills for our drinks. We asked for another refill towards the end of dinner and she brought us to-go drinks without even asking if we're done with our food. We had to have another server refill our to-go cups because our original server never came back after we paid our bill. I'd try it again, but hopefully we'll have another server.

    One of our favorite crawfish spot! Have been eating it at Houston location for years and now the Pearland location just hit the spot! We love their garlic butter flavor for crawfish and shrimp. Always have to pair with the fried rice! So yum!! Although I wish the noodles can be more flavorful. And the garlic bread can use some improvement as well. Except that, great restaurant, great service. They also have outdoor seating in Pearland, so you can enjoy the relaxed weekend feel. Maybe not in Houston summer, but still a cool option to have. Very well. Definitely will be back!

    The food is decent BUT the portions are extremely small. $22 for a cup of seafood gumbo and $53 for a cluster and random legs of snow crab is a bit pricey. The salt & pepper crab was VERY SALTY.

    First I would love to say that the hospitality was great, everyone was kind including the…read morecustomers, which gave a comforting vibe especially because it was my first time eating here. The owner was right there on the line working hard with his employees and the ingredients were real and fresh. It took me such a long time to visit this restaurant because the concepts are not something you see often, after the eating the food it's like a spin on cajun, american comfort soul food with a modern day finish. I don't even speak like this, but after this fantastic meal I couldn't help but to let yall know it's worth a try. The first item I tried was the blackened fish jambalaya & it was really good & looked like it came straight out the pan! however i'm used to bland food so the kick from the seasoning took me back some. I then tried their punch and it was so good words can't even explain. Again packed with flavor , sweet and has a tang from what seems to be lemon. Fresh pineapples and strawberries were in the drink as well, I can honestly say it's one of the best 3 drinks i've ever had. If they sold them by the gallon i'd purchase it just to keep in the house. I even added some water to it when it was almost gone and it still tasted good! It mellowed out some of the sweetness, but not the flavor. I also got the Da Justo Sampler and at first it seemed like a lot and kind of overwhelming, but let me tell you it was so amazing. First of all the grilled cheese was exceptional, the best grilled cheese i've ever had. The wings were sweet and spicy and I didn't even need ranch for them, I thought it would ruin the flavor! & I'm a person who eats ranch with everythingg. The mac & cheese is the perfect example of what mac and cheese should be, the fries were okay though, I wish they were crispier but even with that it didn't stop nothing! Everything is still a 10/10. I went back and tried the Jambalaya a little later & again another 10/10, i've never had Jambalaya before so the flavors were so crazy , but I still found myself not able to put the fork down! The portions are very big from those two meals I got i was able to share with 3 other people and we all had nice portions ( i was not sharing that punch tho!). if your sick of your typical generic food options and want something out the box and worth the price or just want a cheat meal that's worth it, Krack Kitchen is your spot!

    Happened to be the area and thought this Cajun places sounded good when I was browsing through Yelp…read moreand it was SO GOOD! It's inside a gas station which wasn't too busy for a Friday night. You order at grill, but when they give you the receipt you have to pay the gas station attendant. Make sure you go back to the grill to show you paid for your meal. Now I will say it took 25 minutes to get our food but it was HOT and FRESH. We got the jambalaya and 10 chicken wings. The wings were crispy and juicy with a lot of seasoning. Everything inside the Jambayla was delicious from the shrimp, to the fish, to the sausages, etc etc. just all super flavorful in general. There are 4 small tables each with 2 seats which I appreciated cause I usually prefer to eat the food fresh rather than eating it in the car/bringing it home. Would definitely come back to try other dishes; but keep in mind that the location of the gas station is kinda not ideal. You'll know what I mean when you drive there. It's hard getting there/getting out. And again food takes a long time, so if you're looking for quick fast food this place is not it, but it is delicious
