Many of the classics stayed but there's also new stuff on the menu. We had an appetizer of little mushrooms that were crawfish seasoning boiled, battered and fried. Dayum they were yummy!! A surf n turf poboy stacked high with fried shrimp, roast beef in debris and all the good stuff. A tasty catfish poboy with seasoned fries. And a marinated shrimp salad that had some real kick to it. EVERYTHING was on point!

It looks like it may have once been a garage, but it has been transformed into a warm, lively, and welcoming gathering space filled with great music, laughter, and Southern charm. There were friendly dogs relaxing outside, little kids dancing around, and a staff that made everyone feel welcome the moment they walked in. I was only in Shreveport for a short work trip, but the hospitality here really touched me. And the jambalaya? Absolutely delicious. Comfort food with soul. Shreveport has some hidden gems, and I think I found one at Marilynn's.

My mouth is on fire but in a good way - ha! Definitely glad we stopped by on this trip! Well worth trying if you're in the area!

Blackened shrimp and grits was a joke. Most likely Instant grits, tasted like some premade gravy,…read moreand tiny shrimp buried in salt instead of actual flavor. Order was wrong, but we were too hungry to deal with it. This is exactly what's wrong with restaurants around here--start strong, then get lazy. No soul, just dumping Cajun seasoning on everything and hoping people don't know better. If you've had real Cajun food, skip this place. Overrated and not worth your money. Go home, crack open a cook book with a loved one and spend you money making memories.

Lots of mainly fried fish options, with a few grilled available as well. Fried Catfish! Wonderful proper crisp but light crust on a best ever thick filet light steamed with great flaky large filets. Shrimp really good and sides and gumbo are just right. Parking looked full but plenty of table space still available inside. They are known for very prompt service and food, so they apologized when it was going to take 10 minutes as they had just turned in orders for 2 parties of a dozen. Prices are quite reasonable, getting homemade quality for just about a dollar over commercial chains, with plenty of food on the plate. Unsweet tea was just brewed and better taste than you would expect... Worth the extra short drive around town to get there, and quite fine staff as well. Try it, you'll like it.

I visited Crawdaddy's Kitchen yesterday evening around 6:00 PM to get crawfish. Let me start by…read moresaying the seasoning was absolutely amazing flavor-wise, it was on point. However, the overall experience was very disappointing, which is unusual for me because I have eaten here many times in the past and have never had a bad experience until now. We were seated, and our waitress initially greeted us and brought drinks for me, my daughter, and my friend. After that, service became difficult. It took a long time to find our waitress when we needed refills. Eventually, I had to get up myself, and another server from a different section was kind enough to bring our drinks. When the crawfish arrived, they were extremely small for the amount ordered (three and a half pounds). They were not hot--only warm--and very wet, almost as if they hadn't been cooked long enough. It honestly felt like we received the bottom of the barrel. By the time we received the check, I was extremely disappointed, especially considering the amount of money paid. I'm not sure what was going on that night, but this experience did not meet the standard I've come to expect from Crawdaddy's. I truly hope this was just an off night, because this visit was not the Crawdaddy's experience I've had or expected in the past.

The service is not great, the menu is getting tired, but the vibes are just as good. I'm giving this rating a 3 simply because the food timing and quality was not fantastic this go around.

We had the following: *Crawfish Appetizer: overcooked *Cheeseburgers: overcooked and room temperature when it got to the table. *Fries: very good *Seafood Platter: yikes...gumbo was mostly veggies and rice. Shrimp etouffee and jambalaya looked like and tasted like it came from a Zatarains box. Blackened fish wasn't good. Use to enjoy coming here, but quality of food was a massive step back from a couple years ago. And $88 for 3 people with no alcohol is wild for what they serve. Too many good Louisiana eateries to try this again.

I of course did not ...as I just spent $97.00 in this store for very little food. Does your cook/cashiers get paid waitress salaries? I don't think so and your prices are already way overpriced so you want your customers to also pay your employees? Wow! That little tip jar they have up by the register, should be shared with all. No tip should be even asked. Shame on you! Lower your prices any maybe we can pay your employees. Also, I bought potatoes au cratin and they needed butter and cajun seasoning. The instructions for cooking was way off and they need 30 more minutes to cook to be tender. I won't mention the high price tag for what I got. Stop asking us to tip! Your store is high enough.
