    Muddy crawfish, that weren't cleaned before eating.

    Hi I came in today and ordered 5 lbs of crawfish and all the them were dirty, and still had mud on them, at the bottom of the bag was muddy water i mentally couldn't eat it, the service was friendly and welcoming, it was just the crawfish that weren't cleaned. It would have tasted amazing otherwise!

    Yum yum yum! My coworker recommended this restaurant for seafood boil and it did not disappoint. It is a small spot right next to a small gas station on the side of the feeder road. You have to drive slowly not to miss it and have to do several loops to get back to it. We ordered a side of hush puppy (6 in an order), 1/2 lb shrimp with garlic butter sauce and 5 lb crawfish with a couple extra potatoes. I enjoyed it all! I like that their seasoning is in the water so that it penetrates inside the crawfish. Some people sprinkle seasoning on outside which is pointless because you don't eat the shell. Their boil only comes one way "Cajun style" so you don't have a choice on your spice level. It has a medium spice level to it, but I like spice! You can get garlic butter sauce to put on top of the crawfish if you like. That garlic butter sauce is chunky and divine! The part that I didn't like is that the corn and potatoes are boiled separately in plain water so it doesn't have any flavoring to it. We asked if they are able to put it in the boil with our crawfish and they said no. But I did sop up that yummy garlic butter sauce with it.

    I decided to try this place after passing by a bunch of times. The place was a little dark because of the way the sun sets on that side of the building. I ordered the shrimp po-boy which was excellent. The fries were good as well. The only problem I have was with the customer service. When I walked in the man looked at me as if I wanted to stick the place up. So impersonal. They need to work on that.

    Set in a gas station/truck stop, this restaurant sits unassumingly in the corner of the gas station plaza. It's affectionately known as Kray Cray but the sign on the door says Cajun House. When they are not busy, you can call in your order or order through drive-thru, but a sign on the drive-thru window instructed us to order inside. Walking into the store, I was surprised at how roomy it was - there is a seating area with an occupancy of maybe 20 persons. The menu items are majorly seafood and Cajun dishes (crawfish, shrimp, crab, étouffée, boudin), but there are sandwiches and non-seafood options as well (chicken, pork and pasta). We ordered the shrimp and crawfish étouffée, 1/2lb of shrimp, and chicken wings. The shrimp and crawfish étouffée were very well seasoned and tasty, though more soupy than I expected. The shrimp was tasty, could've been a bit more seasoned, but after I let them marinate in the sauce for a bit of time, they tasted better (pro-tip: let them shrimps marinate before you try them), the wings were pretty good. Our entire order came up to around $40, which was pretty cheap for the amount of food we got. I would visit again.

    Great food. We got grilled catfish, fried shrimp and the Number 16 shrimp boil. If you look at the picture, what do you expect? Wrong. No potatoes or corn included. Shrimp was very good.

    First time here and they did not disappoint! They have fresh live crawfish which was decent size. I ordered 8lbs of crawfish in medium heat. Flavor from the boil was bit spicy but it was so delicious and buttery. This is one of the best boil I have ever had besides the ones in New Orleans. I also ordered wings for my kids which came with a side. My kids wanted fried rice and it was a good choice! Wings were pretty big, juicy and full of flavor. The fried rice with shrimp was amazing and full of flavor. I highly recommended this place for your crawfish cravings.

    After passing this business many times, I finally stopped in to give them a try. They offer Tilapia and Catfish. I will not consume Tilapia not a fan of Catfish or any farm raised seafood. I would like to see them offer Wild Whole Red Snapper and Red Fish to include offering them with all their fish orders. Also offered were Fries, Wings, Shrimp, Turkey necks, Crawfish and what ever I missed. I ordered Catfish with 6 shrimp + 1 more, boiled shrimp, turkey neck and 5 wings. Me being cheap I felt 40$ was expensive tho, wanted to get good feel for the place. It was all taken to go so the fries didn't travel well for the distance, The fish and shrimp very good, the turkey necks very good with good flavour, the wings sadly for me over cook and dry. I had them necked no sauce. Over all the food was good and I will return someday, I wish they were a bit cheaper and understand everything is up in price. I would like to see Tony's used for seasoning and spice up the Shrimp n Fish. or offer a spicy version.

    This is what 15 pounds of delicious looks like

    Pinch, peel, suck...review is based on being here a few times for the fresh boiled crawfish. The flavor is consistent with a good spicy kick the way we like it and the heads are always juicy. One day will try the other items on the menu but for now only crawfish cravings that needs satisfying. Appreciate that it's conveniently located by the freeway, ample parking with call ahead order available.

    Found a nice long black hair in my food at 3:20 pm April 18 2021 Nothing covered their hair - no face mask and no curb side pick up Don't get me wrong the food is good but this will be my last visit. Can't risk it -

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally. Looking forward to celebrating my birthday here in June!

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

The hush puppies are really good and I also liked the tartar sauce. When the seafood gumbo came out and it was sat on the table, I smelled a foul odor. It smelled spoiled. I told my man and he said he thought it was the crab, The crab smelt funky. He did tell the server and she told the manager and they removed it from our check. We think maybe the crab was frozen and or spoiled. I ordered The fish and chips. A really good portion and the flavor was good. I did like the fish and french fries. The coleslaw was just okay not my favorite. My man ordered a pound of very spicy black mussels and 2 lb of very spicy live crawfish. The flavor was good. The muscles were a bit too salty for me but the flavor was still good. The restaurant does get pretty lively but they do have plenty of staff. Overall I'll say the service was top-notch but I don't know that I would dine again. If so, I'll definitely get that lychee lemonade and hush puppies again :)

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind.
