The food was great. The service was great. Me and my family loved it. One of the best places to eat in Alma.

Outstanding food! Hot, fresh and quick! The service was superb - friendly and helpful. The place was clean, restrooms were clean and it was very comfortable. Our family of 4 had: Fried and blackened catfish Fried shrimp Etouffee Bread Pudding Chocolate Fried Pie with vanilla ice cream Blackberry Fried Pie with vanilla ice cream Everything we ordered was outstanding! We would order any of it again and will come back for more! read more

It was not the best Cajun food I've had but it was clean. The service was good and it was only about a mile off the highway. They were quite busy which was good to see. read more

Crawpappy's Cajun Cuisine in Alma was so good! We started with the boudin eggrolls, and they were amazing - super flavorful and perfectly crispy. Then we had the blackened salmon and it was cooked beautifully with great seasoning. The red beans and rice were delicious and tasted like true Cajun comfort food. The service was friendly, the portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. We'll be stopping back in on our way through town again tomorrow. read more

We stopped at Crawpappy's while we were in Alma. Not one single regret! We started with boudin balls. They were crispy on the outside and moist and delicious on the inside. I had the Sue Special which was blackened catfish over rice and smothered in etoufee. It was delicious! My husband had popcorn shrimp and fries. He enjoyed them. The foot was great, but what was even better than the food was the staff. They took excellent care of us and were so friendly! The owner came by to check on us. Again, another super nice person. The restaurant was pretty and very clean also. We would definitely eat here again! read more

Food was excellent!! We got: Catfish (didn't need tartar sauce) Cajun pork rinds Etouffee Cajun pasta Full of robust flavors. We wanted sooooo bad to eat more, but we couldn't stuff in anymore. Service was friendly and helpful for us being first-timers. The ambiance is divey, but in a nice way. Not gross or dirty. They lean hard into the Louisiana-cajun style. It's fun. Highly recommended. We will be back and bring out-of-town friends and family. It's an hour away from our home, but it is worth the drive. read more

Ok this place is a diamond in the rough!! The menu has plenty of options for you to choose from. I personally recommend the fresh fried cracklings. The only thing I would complain about is I ordered a Sue special which is étouffée and fried shrimp The étouffée is really good but the shrimp very clearly came from a bag. I would recommend this place very good food. read more

Oyster shells litter the parking lot at CrawPappy's Cajun Cuisine, giving it an authentic Louisiana feel. Outstanding hospitality, like none I have ever experienced, overwhelmingly warm, friendly, welcoming, and phenomenal Cajun food! Pick a table and you will be quickly greeted and asked two questions, "What would you like to drink?" and "Have you ever been here before?" The first question will get you a cold beer and a "No" response to the second question will get you a sampling of the chef's skill. Three little sample cups, one each of Red Beans and Rice, Etouffee and Gumbo. You will immediately realize that you came to the right place. But now you have to pick. One or all. A table next to us yelled out "it is all good!" I responded "but what do you recommend?" A reply came without hesitation, "Sue Special!" Sue special it was, Blackened Catfish with the spicy Etouffee. Add an order of Boudin Balls. The Boudin Balls OMG, crispy crunchy on the outside and a flavor like they had been fried in bacon fat. The Blackened Catfish under the rich Etouffee was done right. My wife went with a small bowl of perfect Gumbo. Everything was as I described in the beginning of this review, phenomenal. The service was superb. As we were walking out, the owner came out of the kitchen, greeted us, thanked us for coming in and invited us back on our next trip through. Cool Louisiana Cajun themed décor, with a big swamp gator stretched out on one wall, bright art on another, scenes reminiscent of NOLA, and a little Mardi Gras purple and gold with the iconic Fleur-de-lis. Some of the best Cajun food that I have had anywhere! And yes, oyster shells scattered in the parking lot gravel for authenticity. Got me wondering though. How many oysters can a good shucker shuck before he snaps his shucker? read more

Really friendly people who made us feel welcome as we travel through the state. Best Po' Boy I ever had and my wife loved what she got. I forgot the name of it. Cool New Orleans feel to it. Definitely would come back next time I pass through. read more

We love Crawpappy's! It's definitely a welcome change up to the usual restaurant around here of burgers, pizza, or Mexican food.

We were delighted to experience the wonderful food at Crawpappy's. I enjoyed a Boil and my partner had Blackened Salmon. Passing through town, Crawpappy's was highly recommended by the few locals we spoke with and they were spot on. To top it off, our host, "Stormy (like the weather) offered food tips and considerations. She was a true Ambassador of Crawpappy's. Ms. Stormy's attention to detail and professionalism was welcomed. The restaurant was very well appointed and extremely clean. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

In celebration of our awesome Supreme Court I came up here to see what's up. It's some down home cajun cooking over here. Homemade food they way restaurants should cook. Pork skins are fried up to order and they are awesome. Gumbo and Etouffee are rich and flavorful. Shrimp came out hot with a crunchy batter. Bread pudding soaked in rum. This is the real deal. Check the hours, because they are not open everyday. Service is friendly and attentive. This place is a real pleasure all around. read more

Phenomenal food and phenomenal service! We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday at the recommendation of another local business, and were greeted by wonderful staff! The owner came by our table and was so gracious. The pork rinds are still sizzling when they're delivered to your table, and all the food was fresh, delicious & delivered with a smile! This is a MUST for your next meal in Alma, Arkansas!! read more

I had originally headed out this AM for breakfast at Grandma's in Winslow (always a 5 star for me). We arrived to a barren parking lot, and the usual stunning view. Grandma's is celebrating their (her) 50tb wedding anniversary. Congratulations to them. I had to shuffle and redirect. We chose a second location. I got distracted on my phone and realized too late the driver went the wrong direction. Now, I had to select a 3rd choice. Well, '...all things work together for good..." and I found Crawpuppys's Cajun. They don't need my review. Everyone already knows how wonderful they are. They are. Very. So I will make a few observations based on my personal dietary needs. Nearly all of their delectable dishes incorporate Nightshades. (Pout) I tried ONE of their 'sidewinder' fries and it was near perfection. I ordered it with simple salt. The cracklin's (fried pork rinds) were fresh, light, and noisy when they reached the table. Next time (there WILL be one/many) I will order it with (only) the simple salt. I also ordered the fried crawfish tails with a side of fried okra, and one fillet of fried catfish. (I SO very much miss ROTC and their renowned and as yet unparalleled fried catfish.) These items were also excellent, except next time I will ask for no seasoning (beyond sat). Our server was also five stars . She was prompt, pleasant, and patient (as I discussed my dietary needs). She was responsive (to my needs). And attentive without being doting. Thank you for a memorable experience. Only one thing I plead, a dog park or at a dog pen. read more

We ran across this little gem via yelp and thought we would give it a shot. We are SO GLAD WE DID! We were greeted, seated, and had a waitress right away. Our waitress was full of jokes and personality! She brought all 6 of us samples of the etouffe and gumbo without us even asking. She guided us through the menu and everything we had was delicious! In our group, we ordered boudin balls, the Sue's special, fried catfish, and the pork skins. The owner/chef came out and talked with us about our trip and was genuinely pleased to have us! Highly recommend! read more

We love CrawPappy's. When my daughter comes home from Little Rock it is always a must. Tom and Ms. Scharlette are always friendly. My favorite is the JJ wrap and my daughter always has grilled shrimp!!! read more

Super good cajun interpretations on the outskirts of Alma. Good menu selection of actual cajun food and lots of fried seafood options. Strong on the roux's that are legit. Catfish dishes start with large, thick catfish filets which are better than most of the "catfish houses" in the area. Full bar also (unusual for the area). It's not a large place but has good interior seating with a nice covered outside area. Old house looking but clean, well staffed and friendly. Pricing is worth it for the size portions and quality. read more

Ate here a few weeks ago, really good, the staff was awesome. I can't wait to try it again. All the food was cooked perfectly.

Brought me the wrong order. Ordered the John Special was told it was large shrimp and catfish filet on a bed of rice. 5 small shrimp and tiny catfish filet. Which they charge $25 for. Left hungry. Complained to owner and he didn't care. Will never come back read more

It's unlikely they'll actually be open when you go there but on the rare occasion they are open their food tastes like shit. Thanks for wasting my time crawpappy's !!!! read more

Everyone is VERY friendly. Prices are kind of high for the area but my kids love this place. The fries are so good.

The food wasn't too bad it's just they add Cajun spice which is mostly salt and it's uneatable

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Just a little pricey but you get more than you can eat!!! Will definitely recommend!!!!

Roast beef poboy came out like beef stew (includes carrots). If you order "dressed" it comes out with a special sauce that has horseradish sauce. Shrimp poboy was night lightly battered like a traditional Cajun shrimp poboy. I only got poboys on my visit. So, anyone Cajun that is looking for Cajun food; this is my take on the poboys. They do use real French bread, but it was very fresh on the day I ate there (bread was soft and absorbed all the juices). You may also want to define "dressed" to them, even if they claim they know what "dressed" means. read more

Spicy! And delicious. Save room for the peanut butter pie. Everything is good authentic Cajun with a good amount of heart and heat cute cocktail menu too. Pink panty dropper. Fruity and potent! read more

Not a great to go order. I'm sure it was just a bad time. I've heard great things about this place from friends so I will try again.

Found this great spot on a road trip- so so good! We had our dog with us so we couldn't eat inside but they brought our food out to us at a picnic table out front and made sure we had cutlery, napkins, and refills. I was really impressed with the super friendly service! The food was so good too! We both had the "Sue Special"- blackened catfish on rice with gumbo and etouffee over top. It was fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of spicy. Definitely recommend if you're in the area or passing through! read more

Wow!! Yum !!! No kidding !! I had Sue's Special which was blackened catfish over rice with Etouffee over all of it. It was Good and spicy and the flavor of the blackened catfish was extremely good. read more

Excellent Cajun food the etoufee was spicy and delicious. Full of crawfish, chicken and andouille. Alligator appetizer definitely a must. Catfish, crawfish corn bread and hush puppies so good. Key lime and chocolate peanut butter pie for dessert. Friendly staff a must stop if you are in the area. read more

We were in Alma from out of town doing some shopping and checked Yelp to see what was noteworthy as a lunch option---I am so glad we checked to find this place! I had the blackened catfish on top of rice with etouffee, and my husband had the same dish with fried catfish. We couldn't resist taking home leftovers, so we ordered a shrimp and cheesy grits on the side. The grits are what will be served in heaven. They were incredible! Service was awesome and attentive-the owner came out for a table visit and we got to ask him some questions about how he got started. read more

Everything we've gotten here is fantastic! My husband enjoys spice & he loves the Cajun aspect. I'm not as big on spice and there are plenty of options for me. The steaks are great! Their homemade pig skins are the best I've ever had. This is our go to date night restaurant. read more
