SMH!!!!! Never again will I pay $10 a pound for mainly juice!!!!!!! The taste was ok but it would have been better if I had gotten what I paid for which was CRAWFISH and not Juice. I called and spoke with management, and he said there was nothing he can do and that they weigh the crawfish before they add the juice Bull****!!!!!! I'll keep taking my money to Swamp Donkeys, they NEVER fail me. read more

Did a call in order for the 2 fish and 6 shrimp platter with shrimp fried rice! Calling in was simple and easy and the guy taking my ordered suggested the cheesy boudin balls as an appetizer. Upon arrival, walked in to a nice aesthetic and there were maybe only 3/4 customers present due to it being 4pm on a work day. The food was tasty and they fried the fish to perfection. Bonus: there is a cupcake spot next door. read more

Hank's Crawfish - 2 Fish and 6 Shrimp Platter with Shrimp Fried Rice - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

We were next door getting car worked on. Both haven't eaten yet n it's a very cold wet day. Walked over to see what they had to offer. They have daily lunch specials such as a bowl of hot n fresh gumbo!! Ordered a bowl for each of us n some wings. This truly hit the spot for this type of day. Gumbo was full of flavor as well as shrimp n crab meat. Wings were great tho small (like Cornish hen size). But still flavorful as well. This was the only reason for the 4 stars. Reasonably priced too! Servers were polite n friendly. Nice seating with tvs in view. When wanting gumbo (besides cooking it ourselves) we will definitely come back again! read more

We showed up at 8:44, apparently last call was 8:45 everyone in your establishment was rude not wanting to serve us. Maybe put out a sign or something! Also teach your employees who answer the phones, that if someone calls at 8 and your place of business closes at 9, only make sense to tell them what time last call is. Especially because "you don't know how far" they are traveling to eat at the restaurant. This used to be my favorite place to go to eat crawfish but your restaurant is nothing like it used to be your employees are horrible! read more

First timers. My family loved this lil spot! All the food was so delicious! My picky son said 10/10 wings & fries. Crawfish had great flavor. We got spicy. Definitely goin back to explore more of the menu! For sure a ton on our next visit list!! read more

Pay attention to what you're paying for. I went here today and purchased 4 pounds of boiled crawfish. I ordered it to dine in. When I got my order I noticed the bag was half filled with boil juice. When I poured the juice out it seemed like I had waaaay less than 3 pounds. I went to the counter and asked the young later if the juice was weighed with the crawfish to equal 4 pounds. She said they add the juice in after the crawfish is wet. I spend a lot of money on crawfish each year. I know what 4 pounds look and feel like. You be the judge. read more

Best Fried Rice my Wife and I have ever had. When we travel to Houston going to Hanks is a must. Everything from the wait staff to the food is superb. The Eggrolls as an appetizer is also a good choice as they are more like mini eggrolls but great as an appetizer. Definitely has a hole in the wall feel, but everything is top notch so give Hanks a try and I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

Really good food!! We got 5 lbs of crawfish and the combo number 5 that came with shrimp and snow crab. The prices are a little high but with the start of crawfish season it is expected. Amazing customer service from all of the employees. Several people were coming by and asking if we needed anything else and refilling our drinks. Great establishment and very clean environment. We got extra spicy and it definitely lived up to its name (nose running still). I definitely recommend trying this place if you want some good seafood! We will be back soon. read more

Haven't been here in a few years, renovate, good service, great flavor, and attentive. Ok I don't recommend the boneless wings, they are the worse chicken nuggets I've ever had. Over fried or baked. Ended up rinsing the flavor off and feeding them to my dog. 3lbs extra spicy Ragin Cajun crawfish. This was bangin! I loved that you could taste hints of orange in each bite. Was a bit too spicy nose drippin spicy for me, I'm either getting weak. Or can't handle the heat. I'll definitely go down a level. The crawfish were all sizes, which was nice. $7.99 a pound. Will be back for beer and crawfish, might become a regular since I live close. read more

Ok......sooooo, I can't remember a time where I've been so upset about a meal experience, that I relished and replayed the nightmare over in my head, over, and over again. So yesterday, on 11/12/20 I was up north for a photo shoot. I wanted to take my employee to a congratulatory meal for a successful shoot, and I asked her what she wanted. She said crab legs, and immediately we searched Yelp. Hank's in Katy is one of my favorite for delicious crawfish and crab legs, so I assumed Hank's up north would be the same. Uummmm, yeah...that wasn't the case. So when we come in, it seriously looks like a hole in the wall. They have limited drink offerings and the frozen drinks weren't ready except for one. I can't remember what it was called, but I ordered it, and it tasted like a virgin slushy. 1st strike. My guest specifically asked about the size of their crab legs, and said if they were small she would send them back. The server ensured us that they had crab legs with a lot of meat in them. They were running a special, I believe it was three clusters for like $22.99. We both ordered the special. We also orders a half dozen oysters, and gator bites. Oysters and gator bites took a while to arrive but they were delicious. The crab legs, which normally take minutes to prepare took a pretty long time. I had to get my employee to the airport, so we were a little pressed for time. When we received the crab, we were disgusted. I have never felt so disrespected before in my life. These crab legs were so tiny, they should have been thrown back in the ocean, those poor babies. The couldn't have been a pound. To boot, they were overcooked, so what little meat they did yield, was stuck to the shell, making it a battle to extract. They came with no corn or potatoes as they do in Katy, just the baby legs. We honestly didn't have time to send them back and order something else given our time restraints, but I did mention to the server that she lied to us, lol, and these were the tiniest, overcooked crab legs that I've ever eaten. She said she was sorry, most people love their crab legs. No manager was called, nothing was done to make us whole. So while I don't like leaving bad reviews, this one deserved it. We were so upset, we couldn't stop talking about it, and left Hank's hungry. On my drive back home to Katy, I was telling my husband about my experience and it made him crave Hank's in Katy. We went there and received drinks with alcohol in them, full sized crab legs with corn and potatoes, and left with smiles and full bellies. I'll leave a picture with a comparison of both Hank's, so that you can see I'm not overreacting, and so you can see all Hank's aren't created equally. read more

Ok, I'm from New Orleans: one of the food capitals of the world. I don't know why Houston likes to add all these odd seasonings to their food--minced garlic and a sauce in boiled seafood, spices in Shrimp Fried Rice...I don't get it. But that's the style out here, and I've learned to embrace. With that said, my Shrimp Fried Rice was really good, and I'd definitely return if I have a taste for it. read more

The Crawfish is sooo good ! The employees are really nice and helpful. I recommend the Garlic crawfish! Soo yummy!

We came here pretty late on a Tuesday evening and the place was almost at its closure time. Nevertheless we received a very good service as the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The crawfish was served in a wooden bowl rather than the usual plastic buckets. It was very spicy so I struggled especially with the potatoes and the corn. Very reasonable priced and a clean environment. read more

Hank's Crawfish - 02/12/2019: Dinner (1 lb of Crawfish) - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

The taste was nasty it tasted like, I can't use profanity but it was horrible. Seem like they boiled them in Galveston beach water i tried to eat it but the taste kept getting worse. If I could give them no stars i would. I only wanted one snow crab cluster but they had a deal 3 for 21.99 so I was like why not. What a waste of money. I don't know about their other food but don't get anything boil. read more

I've been coming to this FM 1960 location since 2019, and they've never disappointed me. Whether you call before or order in person, they make sure you're taken care. One of the few places in the city that actually does crawfish. You're not going to get unseasoned day crawfish with a bunch of season salt thrown on top (like a lot of these other establishments). There crawfish is not only seasoned to perfection but it's full of juice. I'll go on record and say BEST crawfish in the city (and I eat a lot of crawfish) I personally always choose to get mine extra spicy with garlic, but you can get different flavors and little to no spice levels if you choose. No one and I mean no one had better butter sauce than them. A lot of crawfish places literally just bring you butter with no type of taste, but not here. My latest visit I decided to sit in and the gentleman who was our server was kind and efficient. I would definitely recommend this location and business to anyone. I honestly wish I could give them more than 5 stars. read more

Me and my daughter come to this location almost every Sunday always a hit food on point service is okay depending on the waiter

Great gumbo, love the fried okra. I Have enjoyed the food at Hanks twice and i was never let down each time.

I purchased 3 lbs of crawfish here and it definitely taste like their mixing fresh and frozen crawfish

I'm from New Orleans an I must say this spot an there seafood is pretty good the taste is close to home !!

Not that great and certainly not 4 Stars. Service was so-so, food was just okay, and the wait staff could have cared less that we were there. You could tell it was a franchise scenario. We had to ask for refills, gloves, etc. A one trick pony, not worth the time to go again. read more

The manager Casandra is the worst... She rudely said, You can't dine in... But wait we order our food to go and was looking for a place to sit down while we wait for our order.

Crawfish is good, wings and shrimp fried rice is really good too. The waiters are amazing!

The only reason this place is getting 2 stars is because my waitress was great. Myself and four coworkers arrived approximately five minutes prior to then opening. We waited until the opened and were the first ones there and seated. We put in our drink orders which the waitress brought us promptly. By 12:10 we all put our orders in. I ordered a half dozen oysters on the half shell as an appetizer along with a pound of garlic butter spicy crawfish and a small bowl of the gumbo. Approximately 12:45 I received my gumbo, which was very tasty. The chicken was hard to chew but the crab meat was perfect. About 10 minutes later I received the crawfish. The flavor was spicy but it was lacking something. I could have gotten past the bland flavor but the crawfish itself was mushy. Yuck! My waittress kept assuring me that the oysters would be out soon, however at 1:10 I requested to just cancel the order of oysters. I'm not sure how a raw appetizer that requires no cooking or much prepwork, never made it out within the hour I had been sitting there. It was disappointing to say the least considering that was the main reason I went to a seafood restaurant. A co-worker ordered a chicken poboy. At 1:00, an hour after we had been there, it still had not made its way to the table. He was forced to cancel his order and stop at McDonald's on the way back to work. That is unacceptable. Hank's could have at least attempted to reconcile this bad experience, but didn't even offer a discount. I will not be back and neither will anyone else who dined with me for lunch. read more

2nd time trying and last time getting it. Not sure if the potatoes were spoiled, if it was the water it was boiled in or Bc they used russet potatoes and not red. The smell of them had me GAGGING! Everything tasted like it was boiled together. Long story short, I wasted $50. read more

Man, I'm so disappointed. First, I waited 32 minutes for a lb of crawfish and a butter box. Second, I get home, and the crab cluster was ICE cold, like it was never fully submerged when it was boiled. read more

so they have a special 4 or 5 lbs for 30$, more thank half the bag was not live when cooked. although the waitress was nice they should it be selling that dead stuff. they don't allow a review on FB. thought in would give them a try since they abre close by. not happening again. I wouldn't trust any of their food. read more

This is my second review. I gave y'all another chance because the food is good besides y'all's frozen crawfish. (My last experience was 10.99 lb crawfish during season and it was frozen, I was really upset because that's almost double you pay anywhere for FRESH CRAWFISH.) This time was your customer service. This has always been an issue but I'm just now acknowledging it on here. The turn over rate is very high. Today's experience wasn't great. I called in my order and the women on the phone made me feel like an inconvenience & bother to her. I literally order 1 meal and was acting as if I put in 6 orders. Even after all the attitude I said thank you before I hung up and she said "yeah". Got the same attitude when I picked up my order. I didn't catch her name because they don't wear name tags but she was on the wall posted as "employee of the month". If this is what you consider a top employee maybe you should consider being in a different business that isn't based around customers. As a customer we already pay way over price for what your serving, at minimum you could give good customer service. I don't trust people with that type of attitude handling my food at all. Get it together. read more

Hank's Crawfish - Great food! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

There seems to be some hankering with the name (different on web, web name, and receipt) to avoid confusion with a similar named place on Westheimer. Food: Good, plus. Lunch special $7 for 5 fried shrimp and spicy red beans & rice. With drink, it's $10 meal. Décor: New, crisp, clean. Some scattered New Orleans memorabilia, with some Cajun corrugated steel thrown in. Many TV's, on sports channels. Music: Current, peppy beat and too loud (not NOLA styles). Furniture: Wooden chairs and wood patterned Formica table. Hot sauce (representing 3 ethnic types): Tobasco & Cajun Chef, Valencia, and Sriracha. Location: Next to 'my' ("Larry's") Hobbies . In strip center, it's hard to see from I-45 or FM 1960. So, since this place seems to break the typical Cajun template and is named 'Hank', then obviously Hank William's song (changed for this review) "Family Tradition" comes to mind, renamed "Cajun Tradition" for this parody. Sing along... (reference http://www.myspace.com/hankwilliamsjr/music/songs/family-tradition-25210716) Cajun type restaurants Have always been a real close family But lately some of my kin folks Have disowned a few others and me I guess it's because I kinda changed the direction I guess I went and broke the Cajun tradition They get on me and wanna know Hank, why do you fry? Hank, why don't you use smoke? Why must you play songs that we ain't wrote? Over and over Everybody made my prediction So if I serve Viet egg rolls I'm just breakin' On an old Cajun tradition read more
