She just had her nails done.....gloves needed!!

As advertised!! The BEST and CLEANEST crawfish in the WORLD!! It doesn't get any bettter!

3lbs spicy boiled crawfish

A bucket list destination since I heard about Hawk's years ago. Truly in the middle of nowhere half way between Houston and New Orleans. The purged crawfish are simply delicate and delicious. I ordered spicy which was mostly added dry spice which didn't do much for me, but my cousin who ordered mild liked it so asked for some spice on the side to dip/dredge. Huge crawfish. At $20 something for 3 lbs 50% more expensive than some other area restaurants is well worth it. It was 33% cheaper than Vietnamese crawfish in Houston I ate a couple days later. I'm not sure I would make the 4 hour drive from Houston just for Hawk's but combined with half day in Lafayette Parish for the boudin trail, it was well worth it.

We had heard from a few people about this place. They all said it was in the middle of the woods and really good. Both are true! The crawfish were really good sizes. They were cleaned by Hawk's special process, and it showed. They also tasted delicious. The bread pudding was one of the best I ever had. Don't forget the bread pudding if you go!

The filet mignon of crawfish - best I've ever had

I've been going here for about 15 years now. When I first started going here, you had to be "in the know" to know about this place. There was no website and very little info on the internet about it. Our first few vists back then were amazing... the crawfish were HUGE (like small lobsters) and the prices were considerably cheaper than they are now. Over the past few years I have noticed that the size of the crawfish have decreased while meanwhile the prices have continued to increase, most likely due to the publicity and word-of-mouth caused from the internet.

Crawfish were big and juicy and tasted really clean but I really think the owners should change their business model here's why I'm only giving this restaurant two stars 1. Crawfish comes with no sides each side you order is $2.50 2. No refills on drinks they bring you out a can and you pour it in your glass 3. No station to wash your hands you have to wait for the restroom 4. The price for me and my wife to eat our bill was $106.24 All in all I don't think we will be coming back here plenty of better choices inside of Lafayette to choose and also the bread putting here is not all that if you want the best in my opinion you have to drive on up to Sammy's in Baton Rouge!

When you see this door, you'll know you're in the right place.

Crawfish was good But the price and drive are both ridiculous! Basically $6 a pound during the peak of the season.

What can I say? Went here passing through on the recommendation of a friend! Glad I went! Great…read moreplace with very kind staff! Loved the style of the place with the bar in the middle. Crawfish were very tasty and fresh and all of the other items were great! I will definitely be back!

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Fezzo's in Crowley. My husband's plate arrived…read morewith a hair in it, and when we brought it to the manager's attention, she refused to acknowledge the issue. Instead of apologizing or replacing the meal, she offered a $1.99 discount on a plate that cost over $25. As a former restaurant manager myself, I know how situations like this should be handled--with care, professionalism, and at the very least a sincere apology. The manager, Kaylan, was rude and didn't even remove the plate from our table. The whole interaction left a bad taste in my mouth, and unfortunately, we won't be returning. UPDATE: The General Manager Joshua Spell made the matter right with a sincere apology letter and gift card, and reassured us that the manager who attended to the matter that night would be trained on how to handle the situation better in the future. I agreed it was a learning experience and was very grateful for the way Josh made it right. Thank yo adn we will give Fezzo's another shot.
