I am trying to eat healthier these days, so a big fat chicken fried steak with gravy, Texas, toast,…read morefries, and coleslaw is a big splurge for me--and the last few versions I've tried left me disappointed and fearful that this pinnacle of Texas culture was fading fast. But the CFS at Clear Springs has renewed my faith in greasy, salty carb-loading. The steak itself was big enough to be a solid presence on my plate, and the crust was perfectly seasoned and adhered to the meat properly. The cream gravy was a little bit bland, but that's what hot sauce and pepper are for. The fries were on the skinny side, but fresh, perfectly cooked and well seasoned, and the Cole Slaw was tasty--that little nod to eating my vegetables. But, oh, the Texas toast, that carb bomb of margarine-laden white bread I love nearly as much as I love my mother! The restaurant, housed in an old railway Depot building is cool and creaky, and pleasantly full of weird vintage stuff like old bicycles and prosthetic legs, wonderfully pure Texas kitsch. Add to that a tattoo-covered server who was friendly, efficient, and kept this thirsty traveler's ice water full, and you have a great addition to a holiday weekend.

Server was great, polite, knowledgeable about the menu…read more Chicken fried chicken was good, so was mashed potato and onion rings. I got the steak with coleslaw and corn. I ordered my steak medium. It came rare and dripping. I asked the server if the cook flash it for a couple of minutes to cook it some more. My partner finished his food, my steak never came back. Server asked if I ever got it. I said no and asked him to charge me for the corn and coleslaw and remove the steak. They did, but left hungry. Not great.

Service was great - you order at the counter The crawfish…read morewere excellent and reasonable Gator bites was so good

Finally made my way back to Clawdaddy's this Saturday evening about 35 mins before closing, and I…read morehave to admit it did not disappoint. It was much better this second time i visited. I ordered the boiled crawfish ( this is cajun style) and it was good, just wish it had retained more juice, and also ordered the catfish dinner. It comes with fries ,coleslaw and multiple catfish fillets. And considering they were only 30 mins out or so from closing, it was piping hot and very tasty. The only reason I didn't t give 5 stars was because I asked for the catfish to be fried crispy, and it was NOT.. But otherwise I'm glad I stopped in!

I like this place but whoever was the cook on May 29th 2026 must have forgot the wings was in the…read morefryer because my wings was super hard but other than that good food.

I was hoping this place was gonna be much better than it was because the online pictures people had…read moreposted looked very appealing. However I ordered a to-go order of 2 piece fish/ 2 shrimp from here, and my fish was rubbery , my hush puppies were over cooked, and my shrimp seemed to be fried in flour and had a very off putting color and texture, I believe because they fried the shrimp in a flour batter and not cornmeal???( WHY)?? Also the coleslaw was watery.. In the same order was an order of lemon pepper chicken that looked dreadful and over fried in a very dark color....( weird) not looking at all like lemon pepper wings I've ever had before. And a burnt piece of bread/ biscuit or whatever it was.. Sadly I will not be back...

Very flavorful every time. Missed the surf n turf option in 2025. Sooo heartbroken they're not opening for 2026 season. Really hope they're back for 2027.

I can't believe how bad many crawfish places truly are. As you see, these pics say a Thousand…read morewords, Do Not Go!!!! I almost given up on these places, but Seriously and Honestly, We tried Clawdaddys last week and went back again Monday. I can't believe I found a place that serves great boiled crawfish where MOST ALL of the are eatable. No restaurant can be at my boiled Crawfish as I started this in 1992. Have a Blessed Day. Be thankful there are only a few who truly care. PS, look at your Receipt!!! It's going to show, "America's Best Fireworks", as Merchandise????? I didn't eat or buy merchandise ........lol.

Merci catered our wedding in March and it was amazing. She served a menu of appetizers and…read moreh'orderves. I received multiple complements from our guests. Everyone seemed wowed by both the taste and the presentation. We decorated our reception hall with swans and to coordinate Merci had several fruits carved into various sized swans. The carved swans really added an extra touch to the food presentation that I wasn't expecting. In planning the menu, she gave us very helpful suggestions while also being encouraging of what we wanted. She arrived on time to the venue and the setup and take down went smoothly according to our wedding coordinator. She even had a to-go plate ready for us to take with us when we left the reception since the bride and groom seem to rarely have time to eat. The only thing I might have changed was that we didn't discuss when the reception would be ending with them and they started taking up some of the food a little earlier than we expected. Everything was as good or better than I expected. She also has a food truck that is sometimes at the farmers market. If you can catch them there I recommend their breakfast tacos.
