I was really excited about this place my friend talked it up greatly. It seems like it is a very popular place and well liked. The wait time was a little much but it was full of big groups to give them credit. Once we were sat down service was rapid and thorough. The Crawfish were huge but tasteless, you have to buy a pound of snow crab if that's what you wish to have and it was freezer burned and rubbery. The actual seasonings were great, but my biggest deal is the actual crab was not up to par for the price. Parking is also a little tricky since the parking lot in front is small. I would say give this place a go and figure it out for yourself. I definitely would just go for shrimp corn and eggs in the boil. read more

LA Fisherman - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of the best sea food places in Houston, it's fresh and so so delicious!! The service is amazing and it's an experience that you can't miss highly recommended place if you are a sea food lover, the ambience is pretty nice , and it's always packed especially on the weekends, keep some extra time in hand for the waiting for your table . read more

Place was nicely decorated on the inside and seemed clean. There was a good amount of people but we got seated pretty quickly. Started with a refreshing michelada while we waited for our order to come out. Crawfish & shrimp were alright, large but the medium spice overpowered the actual flavor of the house mix sauce so made them less enjoyable for us. I did think the sausage and corn were decently done. Pro tip: area still has a bit of construction around it which made getting inside the plaza so keep that in mind! read more

Hands down my favorite place to get seafood. From shrimp to crawfish. This place does not miss!! I always go for the ragin Cajun. The mussels here are a great size as well! They have decent micheladas here. This place stays busy every time I come in. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Prepare to wait a little bit but not too long. Up to about 30 mins on a busy night. The wings are a good size. Fries are delish. The only thing that is a bit of a let down is the calamari. Everything is so hot and fresh when it comes down. This place will always be getting my business!!! read more

This used to be on my favorite spots to come to but this was one of the WORST dining experiences I've had. We ordered dinner and specifically ordered my son a HALF basket (2) of chicken tenders. Our food came out, but 20 minutes later his tenders still hadn't arrived. After asking twice, they finally brought food out--but it was a FULL basket (5) that we never ordered. Then comes the real problem. When the check arrived, we were charged for the full basket. I told the server we ordered the half. Instead of fixing it properly, she asked for my child's plate back after he had already eaten from it. I watched her put on a glove, remove THREE tenders from my son's basket, take them back into the kitchen, and then return the basket to us with ONE tender left. This is disgusting, unsanitary, and completely unacceptable. Food that has already been served to a table--especially to a CHILD--should NEVER be taken back into the kitchen, let alone reused. The lack of basic food safety and professionalism is alarming. Long wait, wrong order, incorrect charge, and a shocking health violation. Management should be ashamed. We will never return and I strongly warn others to think twice before eating here. read more

Dirty bathrooms. Seriously the bathrooms are disgustingly dirty. You will gag as soon as you walk in. Whole area smells like dirty restroom. Servers take forever to check up on you even when it's not busy. Female manager isn't much help. read more

They Mix the live and frozen crawfish together and charge you the LIVE crawfish price. Food is overcooked and customer service is poor. Scamming customers isn't the way to go. read more

this is the worst location! terrible service. I understand it be busy but having to chase down the waiters for a refill is not it. the girl that was at the register was absolutely rude!! i don't get why people get a waiter's job if they can't handle the crowd. Other than that the food is good! read more

Super rude staff. We politely asked for gloves since we ordered shrimp and were told no. We then continued to wonder and ask if the chef used gloves and if we can please use those. Was told Chef DOES NOT USE GLOVES???? We couldn't believe what we heard and no longer wanted to eat after receiving our food. When the manager came, we were treated even worse over our request for gloves. The manager then told us if we come back we'd be refused service, as if we would come back to a place with unacceptable customer service, unclean bathrooms, and no AC to help with the uncleanliness smell of the restaurant. Not to mention I am a customer with a service dog with me so you wouldn't expect such careless responses. Don't recommend! read more

I came in today and was greeted with the biggest smile by Walter. Already starting off on a great note, I can see today's experience being truly amazing. I was taken care of by Quoc today. His customer service was out of this world. He made me feel as if I'm being welcomed into his home to enjoy my lunch. Even though Quoc was my main server, the rest of the staff were just as friendly and attentive to my needs. I ordered 2 lbs of crawfish, 1/2 lb sausage, and a half fish basket. The crawfish were really good size today and plenty juicy. The sausage was really meaty as well. Great taste. The half fish basket were 2 fillets of fish and a small portion of fries, a nice appetizer to start my meal off while waiting for the seafood. Unfortunately for you other yelpers, I dug into my food as soon as it came out and didn't take pictures so you'll just have to take my word for it (; I would definitely recommend this place for your go to seafood spot! Ask for Quoc! He'll take real good care of you. read more

This place came highly recommended. Sadly this is the worst tasting crab boil I have ever had. The food was seriously not cooked to order and the shellfish was so old the shells stuck and was very hard to remove. The food lacked flavor and very thick starchy, bland sauce. When I brought my concerns to restaurant's attention, my concerns were shrugged off. Cute place. Surprisingly crowded. Crab boils are too expensive not have a satisfying experience. I read more

Service is freaky bad there's the new manager name Alex looks like vetinames he's asshole he don't know how to talked with customers and also we are going there for almost 2 years this time becuz if this new manager we had really bad experience I'll advise owner if u want to continue ur buinesss remove those kinda manager out of ur Buiness otherwise that's how u will get bad reviews all the time read more

Favorite crawfish spot! Will never never change my spot for anywhere else! Service is always great!!!

Ughhhh favorite place everrrr!!! The food is so good service is fast get there early or you have a wait of 30+min

I had great service and great food. Finally!!!!! A place that actually gives me spicy food when I ask for it to be spicy. The sauce is delicious and the seafood is fresh. Hands down my favorite seafood in Texas read more

Let me start by saying the service was great despite the fact that these guys stay busy! Like constantly. The lines are long if your ordering to go and they are long if your waiting for a table. So there's that. Now the food is ok and I'll get to that in a minute. But the prices are pretty good you get alot of food for what your spending. So that was good. Now for me and in my opinion the flavors we chose I don't think were the best for me. I've had way better crawfish at BBs Tex Orleans but to each his own right. The long lines must mean they have good food right so give it a try it may be something you like I am just not a big fan of their crawfish flavors. However they do have good sized mud bugs and shrimp I thought that was a big PLUS! So I gave it 3 star rating just because I'm not a big fan of the flavors but they could be a 4 star rating for others just not me. read more

LA Fisherman - Crawfish shrimp potato corn - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Unsatisfying crawfish, unsatisfying flavor BOOO. This is the worst crawfish I've ever tasted. The crawfish were extremely tiny but I let it slide due to crawfish season started, however the flavors and textures are TERRIBLE. Mushy crawfish with no flavor is not something I enjoy. We got the House Special and Lemon Pepper crawfish as well as the wings, none were anything special at all. We got takeout so I wasn't able to experience the service or ambience, but I do not recommend at all. Go to Crawfish n More or Happy Crab. read more

This is my 4TH time coming to this place and I still don't know if it's pronounced LA fisherman or L.A. fisherman. But does it really matter when their food is so freaking good?? That's why I find myself coming back for the 4th time because during crawfish season, there's no where else you need to go besides here. Their GENEROUS and SPECIAL Cajun seasonings puts them way ahead of the game amongst fellow crawfish vendors. You can't beat the flavor here. Or the heat! When they mean spicy, they mean SPICY. You get the true crawfish boil experience here. And by that, I mean they bring you the seafood by the pound, still steaming in double bagged plastic bags. There's no plates, no utensils. The table is your plate, and your hands are your utensils. You get a plastic bib to protect yourself and there's napkins. Never has getting down and dirty and working for your food been so rewarding and delicious! Bring some friends, and wear some clothes you don't really care about and have fun! P.S. order the Cajun fries. And then order a second basket. You won't regret it. read more

I'm a sucker for Louisiana style boil shops. I've tried countless spots all over the country, but it's hard to find a spot that competes with what I've had down in the bayou. This place still doesn't surpass Louisiana, but it's within spitting distance. They season the food properly. If you love boils and you're in Houston, you've got to give this place a try. read more

Everyone is always hyping this place up so I had to come see what it was about!! My bf & I came right when they opened, they're only seating on one side of the restaurant. They're not really social distancing the seats either so...idk....lmao We ordered snow crabs, shrimp, and crawfish! Ofcourse I know crawfish isn't in season, but ordered it anyways! It was okay, they boiled it in like plain water it tasted like. We got everything in the "house" special medium. The sauce is pretty good! Crawfish was okay, it's frozen. The shrimps were amazing! Cooked to perfection. Would eat it again 100%! The snow crabs were SOOO SALTY! like, not the sauce, but the snow crab meat itself! My bf and I couldn't eat it anymore, we tried to like dip it in lime...it was just super salty...we ended up sending it back :( (sorry) normally, we would be able to take up really salty food, but if it's to the point where we can't eat it, we just can't. The service was good, he was super nice and okay with us sending it back, he asked if we wanted another order of snow crabs, and we said no! Which was okay! Would I come back? If I was craving shrimp, maybe! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would the food was horrible my wife and I love crab boils and this place ruined it. Not only did the food not have flavor but my wife felt sick shortly after consuming the food they didn't have extra plates or gloves I feel bad for the servers because they do a good job and they gave a good service but the food is what kills the experience we have tried many restaurants and have never had such a horrible experience eating crab legs read more

Get the king crab! Sweet and meaty. The sausage is good too. I had the House Special sauce Mild. I could have probably gotten medium since I like spicy food, but it was my first time. The mild still had a bit of spice though. The waitress passed by frequently to ask if we needed anything. read more

LA Fisherman - King crab and sausage boil - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great customer service, totally recommend the food is fresh and hot, ambiance is super nice very clean area

First of anything this place has never disappointed me. Till last visit, I had a pick up order 4 pounds of shrimp and keep in mind I have a 35 min drive from my house to this place. I get to my house get a huge bowl and put the shrimp in it! And there was 2 dead fly's inside the shrimp bag mixed in with the sauce!!! I called LA fisherman to complain and manager said they did not care about the fly being in there. I dint even get a apology from management. They told me they wanted the shrimp bag back to weight it! Before giving me any refund or any kind of credit back. For this I would be complaining to health department!! Who ever the owner is they gotta step up! read more

The staff was so friendly and our waiter took time to explain the menu. It was our first time. We order seafood boil with crawfish and blue crab in the house sauce. Wow it was mouthwatering delicious! The meat on the crab was cooked just right. It was easy to peel. We also ordered the fish basket. The fish was crispy but light. Highly recommend. We will be back on my next visit to Houston! read more

Place: In the same plaza as Viet Hoa and there are a couple boba places there so you can walk off the meal/wash it down (trust me your stomach is going to need it) Service: Pretty good considering how packed they get, not the most upscale place but that's good so you can put full attention towards your food. Food: Amazing and fresh, everything even the fries come out piping hot. We got the house special (vietcajun) crawfish, cajun crawfish, and garlic butter shrimp, all medium spice which were amazing. We also got an alligator basket- the alligator was a bit tough, cajun fries that came with it are amazing dipped in the leftover crawfish sauce. That wasn't enough for the 5 of us given how delicious it was so we got extra fries, and then another order of crawfish- spicy this time. The spicy is wayyyy spicier than the medium (which was not that spicy) so be careful LOL. Recommend/tips: Get fries to dip in the remaining crawfish sauce, truly so good and come out piping hot. Also prepare your stomach and your digestive system for the entrance of a LOT of spice because I was uncomfy for like a day- vietcajun crawfish side effects not this place, worth for the taste though LOL read more

I love it here. It's cheaper than most places and they give good big pieces. I always get full w one pound of snow crabs.

Worth the wait. We reached about 10 minutes after it opened and had to wait a few minutes, but the wait after us was around 30 minutes to an hour. My friend and I ordered 3 pounds of the crawfish with the House Special seasoning, and an order of the green mussels with the House Special seasoning (comes with 12 mussels). This is hands down my favorite crawfish restaurant in h-town. The seasoning is SO flavorful and they do not kid around with the spice level! The seasoning was baked so well into the mussels. This place is a MUST for crawfish - I cannot recommend it enough! Can't wait to come back and indulge again. read more

LA Fisherman - 3 pounds of crawfish with the House Special seasoning. Delicious. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place use to be sooooo good! I don't know what happened just about every piece of my crawfish were mushy. The seasoning was tasteless and had no juice. The crawfish had no flavor at all. Just disappointing. I couldn't even eat them. I spent too much money for them to be nasty. I waisted my money and I will never visit again. read more

The boiled shrimp and their wings are always fresh and on point. Customer service is always phenomenal.

On my quest to find great crawfish near my home, I decided to try this place. The first time I wasn't able to try them because they don't open until 3pm during the week & I was too early. Today, I arrived a little after 3. There wasn't a long wait & the customer service was good. I ordered 2lbs, house special with corn & potatoes. The sauce was delicious, but most of the crawfish were small. I had a few large ones, but they were mushy. I will probably go back to try something else on their menu. read more

I think this is our thousandth time here. Once we tried to go to another location and we quickly learned, unfortunately, not all LA fishermans are created equal. I wish i had more pictures but i get too excited and realize the food is gone a little too late :/. Definitely sits as one of the top 2 seafood shoppes in Houston! Seriously. That good. Dont be surprised if theres a wait; this place is always packed. For food, you can't go wrong with boiled shrimp and boiled crawfish in house special mild sauce... but my girlfriend says I'm a weakling so she recommends medium. Highly recommend the dungeness crab!! They don't always have it, but if they do, get it or forever FOMO. Dont say i didnt warn you. Dont forget the potatoes both fried and boiled!! Oh and the cajun wings! Get those too cuz . Service is always friendly, genuine, and attentive. Never had a complaint. This crew is awesome and they work together, seamlessly. Go team go! read more

For the wait, I was expecting a lot more. We ordered crawfish and requested the house special flavor (claimed to be all flavor choices mixed in), but trust me there's nothing "special" about it. I have to say this was one of the most bland tasting crawfish I've ever had. Perhaps it was so busy, the flavors did have time to soak in, but honestly all I could taste out of it was like an oily butter. Not good. The snow crabs were fresh, decent, but since we got the same "house special" flavoring, it was still lacking. The fries was my favorite part...surprisingly. The chicken tenders? It kind of reminded me of McDonald's nuggets, just came in a bigger form. It was ok, not bad. I may or may not try again, might get another flavor next time? Not sure if that'll make a difference. read more
