This place has really bad crawfish. The crawfish was sometimes seasoned, sometimes bland, sometimes hot, and sometimes mild. I have never eaten mothballs, but the crawfish heads have a mothball taste to them. It's really hard to describe, but it tastes like a mouthful of mothballs and cleaning products. The service was okay, but they don't check on you after they bring out the food. You order at the register right when you come in. read more

LA Cajun Crawfish - I ordered 3 lbs. This is when I decided to stop eating. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went here today and Mexican girl at cash register was rude! The food was disgusting just like her attitude. Will never return

Use to order live crawfish to boil on my own here until just recently when my fiance and I decided to dine in and try the boiled crawfish... $21.99 for the 3lb. Combo (w/ 2 potatoes, sausage and 1 corn ) ! Can't beat it ! We got the medium spicy garlic butter. All I can say is we have been back once a week since! It takes a minute for your food to come out, but I rather them take their time than slop something together. If you're reading this you're doing the wrong thing! Goooooooooooo! :) read more

LA Cajun Crawfish - Yum Yum Yum - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Ok. I've tried to like this place & give it higher marks but sadly....it just aint working for me. I've visited this location several times & tried different menu items, all to no avail. Guess I'll be the odd ball out on this one. The staff has always been friendly, whether ordering via phone or dining in. It's a little space & they do well with keeping the dining area clean. Large menu board with something for everyone. Both sodas & beer are available for drinks & they have dessert options for your sweet tooth. Unfortunately, the shortfall for this place is the taste of the food. I've tried crawfish, crabs, fried fish & shrimp. The fried fish were ok, but the boiled seafood options, including crawfish just tasted watered down or something. I've had majority of flavors, but most recent was the garlic butter. I ordered the crawfish & shrimp tray which came with potatoes, corn & sausage. I could hardly taste any garlic at all & the crawfish seemed overcooked. Almost like they'd been soaking in water too longer or something. I didn't get them spicy, so lack of garlic flavor wasn't being overpowered by heat. The potatoes were boiled to perfect level, not all mushy, but again there was no taste. Same for the corn & the sausage was ok. In the past I've gone for spicy & though there was heat, the seasoning was lacking. I ended up throwing out most of it which stinks. This place is a few bucks higher than some of the surrounding competitors. IMO if you're going to charge higher prices & name yourself LA Cajun Crawfish, you better come with your A game. There are plenty other crawfish/seafood houses in stones throw distance of this spot that offer better tasting food & at lower price point. read more

Angela cool she said the food was good so I said fuck it and went and it was good she be dapping me up when I walk in that jawn highly recommend place is nice it's always cold food is good y'all should go read more

Most places are hit or miss with their crawfish/ shrimp boil but this place nails it every time. I've tried all flavors and so far my favorite is the voodoo seasoning. Full of flavor with just a little kick (I can't handle too spicy but this is perfect for me). I'm addicted to this place and it doesn't help that it's so close to home! Wait time for food is usually around 15-20 minutes depending on how busy they are but worth the wait. Place is small so we call ahead for pick up and seems like this is popular practice for others as well. I've heard there's been changes in owner so if you haven't been in awhile it's worth another shot. There's something for everyone! read more

They use to have the BEST seafood but it's not so good to me now. But those chicken wings OMG they are the freaking best!!! I love they wings all flavors are good.. read more

For the last two days I have been coming in here to get corn and potatoes and they have been some of the best I have had. Well today I ordered lots of corn and potatoes with the boiled shrimp well the shrimp taste like bleach, the corn was overcooked and the potatoes were old!!! I'm not sure what happened today but I am super disappointed. read more

Decent food excellent people watching. Seasonings are ok, don't expect boiling crab flavor. Pay up front when you order and enjoy scenery. Went 8pm Friday, no wait, line, good service. Now...What we saw: 1. Cop illegally parked, ordered, and played Candy Crush on his phone. Gotta be decent for him to break the law. 2. Single mom about to drop her kid off at baby sitter before she hits club(Announced to restaurant). She kills 2lbs of crawdads while kiddo waits. Champion. 3. The mystery. 6 ft 4 amazon woman, plus heels. Gets 3 lbs and destroys them. It was like watching a black version of Chyna from WWE. Yet with all this ebony she-hulk power, she gracefully shelled her prey while leaving 1 clean finger to text on her phone. read more

Just about exactly what you would want from a cajun spot. side of the highway in a strip of stores, very small, lots of pots cooking up crawfish, shrimp, crab, lobster, catfish, etc. Great for an impromptu sit down with friends or a pick up and take out. read more

I won't lie, there were pretty good and their "Spicy" crawfish are pretty good but I'd also like to give them credit for their delicious shrimp fried rice, it was amazing! Boy was it good! I just didn't like the lady in the counter, was not all that nice but it's ok, it will not prevent me from coming here again. BTW, their crawfish is about a dollar cheaper than most places that I have been to! read more

I really didn't make too much of an effort to frequent our usual haunts for crawfish this past season so after wrapping up some shopping and noticing a grand opening sign for LA Cajun Crawfish, I said, "Why not?". Walking into the establishment we were greeted right away by the hostess and you instantly smell the sweet and Cajun aroma of crawfish intermingling with each other. The menu board is easy to read and has such a variety of items. One of the best things about this place is you can help yourself to FREE, unlimited amount condiments and seasonings. Many of the other places nickel and dime you for a tiny container of sauce. There are big screen TVs in different areas of the restaurant so no matter where you are sitting you can look up and see all the action happening. Once customers got up and left someone from the waitstaff would immediately clean the table and the condiment section is always clean. We ordered 3# of the garlic butter and 3# of the Cajun, and I have to say I enjoyed the garlic butter the best. It was finger-licking good! The crawfish could definitely have sat in the Cajun seasoning a little longer to soak in the flavor. All in all a great experience! read more

Love this place. The Viet twist on crawfish, with the spice and the garlic sauce, and stiffrying it instead of boiling it, makes for a great final product. Super delicious. Would have 5 stars, but on my second visit I have to say the shrimp freshness dropped off versus the first visit, when they were absolutely first class (when that peel comes off so easily, you know it's fresh). read more

Their quality of food used to be WAY better but the shrimp fried rice was very bland with no flavor . The prices are average , but their food needs a little more flavor read more

Service is horrible, wait time is terrible, I called my food in 1 hour in advance and it still wasnt ready. Boiled seafood does not have a taste at all unless you drown it in butter and seasoning on your own. Don't waste your time nor money. read more

Their shrimp fried rice, crawfish and fish sauce wings are amazing Me and my friends have been coming here at least 2 years; and always enjoy the food. Nice staffs read more

I received delivery via Postmates a Boiled Shrimp meal that includes 2 potatoes, 1 corn, and 1 adouille sausage for 12.99. The sausage shined & made the rest of the meal. I was disappointed that the shrimp came with no head because that to me is where all the flavor & a better indication of how fresh the shrimp is. The sausage link looked and tasted like authentic adouille sausage. The potatoes & corn were not cooked in the boiled food seasoning which was okay since they included melted butter, a container of seasoning, and some mystery dipping sauce that I wasn't too crazy about. I would not pay for delivery as that tacked on an additional $6 which made it overpriced. All in all it was a pleasant experience as the food was hot and tasty. read more

I got 4 lbs of live crawfish, but they turned out soft as frozen one. I made a call and the owner agreed to get us another 4 lbs. But when I came up they got me 2 lbs instead and end up with a non-sense explanation. read more

First time visiting I ordered the 3lbs of crawfish and 10 piece wings in mango habanero with fries. I have had better crawfish, the sizes were decent but the flavor was over all bland - & that is because I ordered spicy. However, the wings were some of the best I've ever had. Recently went back for the wings, this time spicy lemon pepper and honey bbq - OMG! Delicious! I love how they're not swimming in a pool of grease/oil, they're coated evenly with spices, and overall a generous serving size. I will definitely continue to come back for the wings! read more

Little dive off of 249 in a sketchy-looking shopping center that has very minimal seating to spare. Still, we were in the area looking for Viet-style crawfish and this certainly fit the bill. We ordered 3 lbs. of crawfish to spare, lemon pepper and mild style. Not really sure if it WAS lemon pepper, since the spices seemed to be hard to distinguish. Still, it was certainly very good for what it was. I will say that for "mild" what we ordered was still extremely spicy. By the end our mouths were sore, but that's fine. If that was certainly mild, I'd definitely suggest mild for persons of weaker spice-tolerance constitution. The crawfish were a respectable mix of smaller fare and large ones; by the end, with only 2 potatoes and 1 cob of corn and a sausage split between my husband and I, we were satiated with our meal--definitely enough for 2 people. Due to the small size of the interior, I would probably 5-star it for take-away--which a lot of local customers seemed to do while we were there. The place is good, though, and family run. Definitely worth a check in. read more

This is my go-to spot since its 5 minutes from my house. But, it's by far the best on the North side!! The place is small but trust me, it's worth it! The people that works here are very nice and their crawfish is so good. I order to-go all the time and never had a bad batch!! read more

I wish I could do zero stars. The Hispanic female cashier is rude. They ran out of potato's and had to replace with sausage and I still didn't get the sausage and they wanted to charge me for the sausage THEY had to replace. We ordered at 8:40pm and waited 35 mins for the food and the same cashier turned the lights off on us as soon at 10pm hit. read more

If you want a Pappadeaux quality service but like your momma did in the kitchen while you was growing up. Just nothing comes close to being in Texas and tasting authentic Louisiana food here. Haven't tried everything. But every pennies worth the price. Talk about an increase taste buds when you eat here. Crawfish flavored better than most around town and so far nothing compares. read more

LA Cajun Crawfish - Amazing! Can't say no more. Captain's Trio, Dirty Rice w/beef, 1lb. of crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time loved it so much. Great food and diner atmosphere with good service. Over ordered but whatever. Simple and awesome read more

Cozy little hole in the wall place that has the perfect gumbo the way I love!!!!.. not to salty or dark and has lots of meat... the wings were HUGH and crispy outside and moist inside..the reason for four stars instead of five was the shrimp fried rice.. it had no flavor and rice was mushy but it was a lot for two people and it had lots of shrimp... and the staff was nice... I also had the fried shrimp which were huge and a fried catfish that was AMAZING ... it was so good I forgot to take a photo read more

Decent crawfish, they were pretty small when we visited on Saturday, I wish they would have bigger. We got the Cajun spice, spicy heat level, with corn, potatoes and sausage. The potatoes were good, sausage mediocre , but the corn was pretty mushy and way overcooked. They were pretty spicy, heat wise, we ordered 7 pounds and they put them in one bag so by the time we got to the bottom they weren't seasoned at all. The top of the bag was so spicy we could barely eat it and by the end we were looking for extra cajun seasoning to put on. We didn't realize it was BYOB which is good to know, we will take advantage of that if we return. The butter sauce at the condiment table is the fake butter they put on movie theater popcorn so buyer beware there...well, not buyer because it's free but just a warning, it's not that tasty. Price was pretty high, $6.99 a pound @ 7 lbs. w/ minimal sides and 1 drink came to $65. We didn't leave stuffed or anything, definitely could have eaten more, so when you think $32.50 per person you kind of expect to at least leave full. We arrived at 6:15 and the line was almost out the door and stayed that way until we left at 7:30ish. We ended up grabbing an empty table while we stood in line but there were not a lot of options, I saw some people standing around waiting to eat because there were no open tables. I am not a fan of that concept, it's very stressful and I don't really like paying all that money to not even know if I can sit down. If we come back we will try and go at a time that isn't so busy perhaps. read more

The parking is the worst part of this review. Food delicious, Ive tried most of the menu with the exception of pork and the oysters. Service is good. Food is great. Lemon pepper wings are outstanding. I crave this place weekly. Girl at the front counter isnt to friendly. read more

Do not eat here guys. These people are crooks. These are the worst crawfish I ever ate in my life. I ordered togo crawfish from here and I specifically asked them if they had live crawfish . They answer yes and charged me $8.99 a lbs. When I got home, it was frozen crawfish and it was disgusting. My wife and I barely ate half the bag and threw the rest away. Stay away!! read more

I generally enjoy the food here, but the service leaves something to be desired. I called in an order at 4:30 and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. I arrived about 15 minutes later. The line was to the door, but I waited patiently, as there is no clearly designated area to pick up a phone order. After a few minutes someone from behind the counter yells, "Is anyone here for a pickup?" I raised my hand and was motioned towards the counter. When I gave him my name, he looked around and was unable to find the order-- as in it had been entered but not submitted, so they had not began preparing my food. I finally received my order at 5:20. read more

The associates don't answer the phone for call in orders, the phone is off the hook and it rings busy

This is my favorite place to take my family to eat crawfish! & I absolutely love the bbq wings! I went on a Monday w my daughter, she wanted to change her order so I went up there and the girl w the black curly hair quickly took my order w out no complains/inconvenience and only took about 6-7min to get my daughters food. Perfect place to eat w family & friends! read more

Well let's start by saying the lemon pepper wings are but the service sucks more than a cheap hooker, oh and and don't even think about calling in for an order you will be placed on hold for more than your hand can be held to the phone also if you call back you will be declined sucks because the wings are good just service really sucks read more

I love the food here. Customer service used to be a lot better. The people that used to take orders were nice and friendly. Now, there is some unhappy teenager that seems to be contemplating suicide working the register. Hi would have been nice... nevertheless, here I am getting these dang delicious wings! read more
