    This is my favorite place to get sea boils! The house seasoning is so good! Service is always great too!

    I was sooo excited to come here after watching Maggie's TikTok videos. Like, I literally woke up at the early hours of 11am and spent my whole morning watching mukbangs from this place, getting hyped for a full seafood day. I pulled up in my Sunday's best--my brand new seafood boil t-shirt dress--ready for the experience. The atmosphere was actually really nice, and our waiter was super friendly, no complaints there at all. But honestly... for the price, the seafood was kind of mid. I had such high expectations, and it just didn't hit the way I thought it would. It genuinely felt like some of the food came straight out of a frozen bag from the store. On top of that, my friend ordered $100 king crab legs, and they brought out the wrong crab. Then they took it back, which I'm assuming means they just threw it away... so I don't understand why they wouldn't offer it to us anyway since it was their mistake. And the crab legs she did get looked more like "prince" crab legs, not king. Overall, I just feel like my expectations were way higher than what we got. I was really looking forward to this place, and it just didn't deliver the way I hoped. Maybe if I had gone with Maggie, the experience (and the food) would've been better. I think this place should be named moody crab- since you never know what mood the crab will be in.

    A family owned seafood restaurant in Mo. City with cute fishermen and seafood decoration, many tables and comfortable, spacious seatings which isn't typical of seafood/crawfish places. Wait stuff is patient and attentive, comes by often to clear the shell bucket. Offer a bib, gloves, wet nap, shell cracker and a meat picker for each guest on the outset. Flavor is good. There are 4 sauce options with multiple spice levels. They also have a plain, sauce on the side option which was surprisingly tasty. Restroom isn't the cleanest, but acceptable.

    I tried to give these people a chance the night before I ordered a Tuesday special because you can order any of their specials on any day. I paid 38$ and told them please no spice I'm pregnant and have a health issue that prevents me from eating anything spicy. I asked please no spice and when I got home the food was extremely spicy. I called the establishment and was told to just bring the food so the next day I did. Why these people give me the same exact food in a different sauce? Everything is mushy the potatoes the corn and all the seafood is over cooked. I have photos I'll post to let you guys know so if you have an issue with your food I wouldn't recommend going back and allowing them to "fix" it just get your money back. Update warning/ he said he doesn't do refunds so be mindful he will take your money and not correct THEIR MISTAKE!

    I'm come here for all my crawfish needs. The Cajun + medium spice combo is sooooooooo good. Literally mouthwatering. I've tried some other things like their fries and coconut shrimp but I can only speak on their crawfish which is a 10/10 every time. Sometimes the food can be a bit greasy but it's still good.

    Tuesday Special for the win... all for $29.99! So we came on a Tuesday and were quickly seated upon entry. Our waiter was patient, attentive, and kind. He gave detailed responses to all my questions, which was greatly appreciated. We decided on the Tuesday special which was an absolute no brainer.... What a steal! This special includes crawfish, crab, shrimp, corn, and potato *mouth waters as I type this up*. Needless to say, I was pleased with the flavoring (I had a medium spice level of the combined flavors) of everything.

    BEST PLACE EVER! House, medium is the way to go for the sauce choice!! Jin and Danny are awesome, I recommend this place 100% - TELL EVERYBODY!! Best crawfish in Houston

    this is our go-to crawfish place. the service is not great and gets awfully slow, but i'm overlooking it cus the food is fiiiire. the house mix has the classic cajun seasoning with a rich garlic butter -- perfectly spicy without being too salty, which seeps into the corn and potatoes beautifully. the crawfish is so fresh, quite large, and very clean as well. the snowcrab clusters are tender and FAT. we always take the leftover sauce home to mix in with some pasta or noodles :p

    My husband, son and I have hit Happy Crab 2 weekends in a row! This is our third time here and we love it. They have specials everyday that include all types of crab, shrimp, fish and lobster. They also have happy hour during the week until 6. My husband and I get the 2 snowcrab clusters and the shrimp (each) and add a side of scallops...he gets garlic mild and I get it I think it's called the mix and hot hot. Soooo good! It comes with corn and potatoes too. My son loves the fish and fry kids meal. The seasoning on the boil is just right! This is a must go to spot to not empty your pockets while getting your belly full! The staff is always friendy and helpful. They have a great bar and cute nautical decor all over. My son loves to give the crawfish a high 5 as he walks in.

    Solid spot for crawfish / seafood boil and theirs appetizers are really good as well! Came during lunch on the weekend and there were plenty of seats. We did crawfish in the spicy Cajun sauce and the rest in butter garlic - including crawfish, crab and shrimp which came with some corn and potatoes. We ended up ordering some extra corn on the side. We also got onion rings and the clam chowder (was ok so skip this). Onion rings were amazing thou gf and perfectly fried! The cocktails were so so. Definitely fun assortment but very sweet and processed. Good enough for what it is but would have preferred beer instead

I apreciated Honore's having a few games for the kids to keep them busy while the adults eat and chat. Maybe a little corner of the patio should be dedicated for them so theyre not in the middle of other patrons. Just a thought. Come early and order. Happy Hour before it ended literally had the line to order out to patio! There is a drive up pick up location on the east side of the building but how you order ahead? Didn't see anything on the website... I ordered the poboy with catfish and fries. When I picked up the to go plate, I just knew somebody's order had been combined with mine because the bag was heavy! Turns out they give Humongous portions at Honore's. Only thing: Although, I didnt ask for tartar sauce, no ketchup or cocktail sauce with my to go order. Still the poboy wad fresh and filled from end to end with catfish. Fries were hot and fresh in the take out box and not too salty, so I had to enjoy a few before leaving. Most definetly you have to order the coveted boudin balls. I got a small pack of both the original and pepper jack since they were on sale for Happy Hour. They didn't disapppoint. They were slightly bigger than a golf ball and the gooey pepper jack cheese was a great compliment to the crunchy exterior. Topped with Remoulade or Ranch and I got pretty full just off Boudin balls. The miss for me is the frozen drinks- especially the frozen Hurricane slushy. Tasted like medicine, but about an hour later I did feel a little kick from the drink. My friend agreed but tried the blue flavor and stated it was better than the hurricane. We enjoyed our little meet up at Honore's so much, we lost track of time. Four hours of girl chat and good food happens that way. Thanks Honore's for making our evening!

Houstonians, Pearland natives, surrounding cities, and out-of-towners, this is your stop. The Boudin Balls were delicious, but my hubby said a little soft. Of course, I'm like Mikey, and I LIKE IT! Lol. On to my plate, 3 lbs of crawfish, corn, potatoes, and andouille sausage with the House Signature Sauce Extra Spicy hit the spot. Talking about tongue slapping goodness. (Disclaimer: Don't get extra spicy if you can't handle Habanero heat!) Next up, hubby had the Shrimp Po Boy with fries and red beans. CLEANED. THE. PLATE!!! To cool down some of the heat, the AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS beignets with vanilla ice cream, just like Cafe Du Monde, or even better.

Thank you to our beautiful and sweet server, Dayna. She makes you feel like family. Top notch service and very accommodating. Miranda came by since I read several reviews that mentioned her.

This is my favorite crawfish joint in the entire country, but my first time at this location. The wait was a bit longer than I'm used to, but it's understandable for a Friday evening. I highly recommend adding your name to their Yelp wait list from the app before heading there. Learn from our experience and optimize accordingly, LMAO. I got Combo #1 with The Mix sauce, medium spice level, and a pineapple sausage add-on. We got an order of Cajun fries and hush puppies for the table as well, but honestly it was more than enough food. I brought a good chunk of my meal home to-go and am already looking forward to enjoying these leftovers tomorrow.
