My son and I went here while I was visiting Pensacola. We were looking for an authentic Crawfish boil, and Cub's delivered! They even had instructions for the best way to open the crawfish. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and the food was great. read more

Well I didn't think it could get any better, but they have knocked it out of the park again! The crawfish were delicious, the mushrooms were spicy. The corn was sweet. The crab legs didn't need any butter and came out of the shell easily. The sausage and potatoes were perfection. There was already a line when I got there a little after 11am. The shrimp are good. Staff is always friendly, super helpful and knowledgeable! They have a scrub that leaves your hands like butter and gets the seasoning off. This place is like a Joe's Crab Shack, but if it felt like home. There are Christmas lights galore and picnic tables to sit at. I cannot recommend this place enough, it's probably the best restaurant in Pensacola! read more

Good crawfish, nice people, clean location. Wish we had something like that here in East Tennessee.

We had lunch at Cub's Crawfish in Pensacola and got our fill of boiled shrimp and crawfish. The staff was really friendly and the restaurant had a fun hole-in-the-wall vibe. There are multiple hand washing stations, self service drinks, and plenty of seating. The crawfish, shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage, and mushrooms were all good and the boil was good but not very spicy. I definitely recommend Cub's if you are looking for crawfish or peel-and-eat shrimp. read more

Consistent source of boiled crawfish.. mighty expensive, you go anywhere else around the gulf coast and it's way cheaper. Good stuff and great option if money isn't an issue read more

Usually a great place to eat. I love the Crawfish , and they're always cooked to perfection. Service is always good. This last visit was a disappointment. Maybe a new cook, or maybe the cook was having a bad hair day, but I did not enjoy my meal today. I had a cup of gumbo and it was way too salty as were the mushrooms. Everything else was just okay. Not worth the price. I'll try again and maybe have a better experience. read more

Another year of great authentic Cajun crawfish!! No nonsense sauce thrown all over your food!! I feel like I'm down the bayou every time I walk in to Cubs. The staff and the vibe of the place makes everyone feel like family!! read more

WTH Cubs??? Says you're open today until 8:00pm!!! Drove all the way down there from Cantonment only to find you are closed. Update your schedule!!!! Edit: Got a nice update/explanation and I didn't think about the snow. I wrongly assumed that the owners were local! And as she asked, yes I was hangry and REALLY looking forward to my first meal of crawfish this year before I travel up North this week. read more

What a great place. Once inside it's fun and perfect for a group of friends. The food was amazing. We were so hungry we dove in so sorry no pictures. It happens at times lol.

Not so hot to where my mouth burnt I thought the heat and flavor was great. Our service was awesome too. read more

Walk into Cub's Crawfish, and you're instantly wrapped in the kind of Southern warmth that sticks to your bones--in the best way. It's cozy, it's lively, and it's got just enough spice to make your heart skip a beat. Hidden away like a hometown secret passed down through generations, this place doesn't just serve food--it dishes out comfort, culture, and a whole lotta character by the pound. The first thing that hits you? The vibe. It's like a crawfish boil crashed a backyard picnic and decided to set up shop indoors. Wooden picnic tables stretch across the room, inviting you to sit a spell and stay awhile. It's laid-back, it's lived-in, and it feels less like dining out and more like pulling up a seat at your cousin's house during peak crawfish season--paper towels, messy fingers, and all. And then there's the music. Lawd, the music! From reggae rhythms to 90s country gold, the playlist reads like someone raided your old CD binder and hit shuffle. One second you're nodding along to Bob Marley, the next you're boot-scootin' to George Strait. It's a mashup that shouldn't make sense--but somehow, magically, it does. Like shrimp in your grits or hot sauce on your eggs... unexpected, but exactly what you needed. Now let's talk about the service, y'all. It's sweeter than tea in August. The folks at Cub's don't just bring your food--they bring the hospitality. Whether you're a seasoned shell-cracker or a crawfish rookie, they've got you covered with friendly guidance, warm smiles, and just the right amount of sass. It's like eating with your favorite relatives--the ones who know how to boil seafood and how to make you feel right at home. But make no mistake, the true showstopper here is the food. Cher, the food! Crawfish arrive steaming, juicy, and soaked in flavor so bold it practically dances on your tongue. It's the kind of boil that'll have you licking your fingers and forgetting your manners. The corn and potatoes? Pure magic--each bite soaking up that spicy, buttery bath like it was born to. And the desserts? Let's just say that Mississippi mud pie should be illegal for how good it is. Rich, velvety, and sinful in the best way. And if they ever decide to bottle that garlic butter sauce? I'll buy it by the gallon and sleep with it under my pillow. Cub's Crawfish isn't just a place to eat--it's a full-on Cajun experience. A flavorful, feel-good reminder that life's better when it's a little messy, a little spicy, and a lot of fun. So roll up your sleeves, grab some napkins, and dig in--because at Cub's, every bite feels like a celebration. Laissez les bon temps rouler, indeed. read more

Cub's Crawfish - Crawfish shrimp boat - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

What a great place to meet friends and hangout on a Friday Night during early Crawfish Season. Understandably the crawfish are small and way over priced, but part of the charm is the great seafood choices we had as well. It was great getting to share the crawfish, shrimp and snow crab. All cooked and seasoned to perfection. The snow crab was the biggest I've scene in awhile, sweet succulent meat was very satisfying. Loved the included mushrooms and sausage. The mushrooms soaked up the boil flavor and paired nicely with the sausage, corn and potatoes. Our shrimp had such a nice taste, very delicious. The crawfish had great flavor and heat, the only issue was the size. almost to small to get anything out of the tails. I liked the order up front and fast delivered to the table concept. The whole vibe was fun and chill. Looking forward to the next visit, hopefully when the prices drop and the crawfish reach full size. Sorry no photos, we dove right in during our conversations. read more

Cub's Crawfish - Snow crab, boiled shrimp and red beans and rice !!! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

This was my first visit here, the building is a little hidden and you park in a gravel lot. It's a little run down looking on the outside but when you open the door the inside is beautiful. Very southern vibes inside and the waitresses were nice. I came to get some crawfish, they were out which was a bummer but I ordered the shrimp basket and some red beans and rice. Came with a corn, sausage, and red potatoes. The shrimp was great, but I didn't care for the corn, potatoes or sausage. If you don't like spicy then maybe don't eat them as they soaked up a lot of the spice. The red beans and rice were okay, nothing to really write about. Overall just an average place, I may try again to get some crawfish but that's really it read more

Food is lacking in meaningful flavor. Sure it is spicy but tasting it with your butter of choice or as is feels like it makes no difference. The potatoes were cooked well but once again no flavor, same for the sausage it was alright but it was lacking. The corn was one of the better parts of the crawfish boat but that isn't saying much. I have been to many seafood boils before and I will say this place isn't horrible by any means but it is severely lacking in terms of food being rich in taste. Furthermore the food gave me a bad stomach ache that I am going through as I write this review. Very disappointed in this place to give me a good experience. read more

Tonight was our first time and it was just awesome. Had some family in from out of town and it didn't disappoint! There was a little line which equated to a 35-40 minute wait. I live in Perdido Key and the spring break tourists make the wait time about 3 hours in that area, so this was a dream. Our server knew exactly how to portion us for a family of 5 dining. We had two platters (10 lbs) of crawfish, potatoes, mushrooms, sausage, corn... probably ate the banana pudding for dessert but I'm not telling the crawfish were fresh and a nice size, that's coming from a fisherman / boat captain that was with us. The restaurant was clean, staff was very kind and accommodating, and the food was great! There were plenty of seasonings at the table for us to choose from and hot sauce. This will be a place we continue to enjoy. Will eat here again and again Side note: don't listen to the mediocre reviews on here from people that give Little Caesars a 5 star rating for good pizza.

The absolute best crawfish I have ever tasted...and I have eaten a TON of crawfish! I lived in the New Orleans area for several years and ate crawfish during the live season at least 2 to 3 times per week! I've had them at the crawfish festival in Westwego Louisiana and I've had them at the Pensacola crawfish festival and nothing even comes close to the spicy, juicy deliciousness that you'll find at Cubs right here in Pensacola!! The tails come right out without getting stuck! Now that's an art form that comes with MANY years of trial and error!! If you're not into crawfish, don't fret!! They also have other seafood on the menu also from gulf shrimp to Royal Reds and crab legs!! The owner is very hands on and works right alongside the other employees!! Very nice people and top of the line seafood!! Give it a try on your next seafood venture. read more

My husband and I made an hour drive to eat at Cub's Crawfish the other day, and since then I haven't stopped dreaming of the amazing meal we had! The vibe, service, and food was amazing. We split the crawfish/shrimp boat for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised at how much crawfish it came with. We got a side of Cajun butter which was perfect for dipping. After we finished our meal we spent the whole drive home talking about how great it was! We learned that they will close at the end of July, which is a bummer for us since we just found this gem, but I've already set a reminder for my calendar to check on their reopening date in January. Thanks for an awesome eating experience! read more

Cub's Crawfish - Shrimp and crawfish boat with cocktail sauce and Cajun butter - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

I'll start by saying the crawfish were very good per my husband's review. The restaurant itself is very cute and what you would expect from a crawfish hole. Staff were friendly. They also sell live crawfish if you are looking to cook them yourself. My poor review is related to the Royal Red shrimp I ordered. It's obvious they are not knowledgeable about how to properly prepare them. You should not boil them like regular shrimp. They are supposed to be deveined and steamed. Otherwise you get gritty shrimp which it was I was served. Very disappointed and had to throw the majority away. Go here if you are looking for good crawfish, but don't order the reds! read more

We got the crawfish boil. I'm glad we just got one. It was plenty of food for two people and was beautifully spiced and prepared and quick. There are a lot of spices and sauces to try which I love. I was super happy that they had a sink to wash up afterwards with a kind of rub that made your hands smell fresh and clean again. read more
