Found my new favorite place for Crawfish season! Crawfish was GREAT! Price even better! BYOB is a plus as well! Definitely recommend..

I went here for the first time today and I fell in love! The atmosphere was casual and friendly. The staff was so amazing, and the food was GREAT!! I'd definitely recommend to a friend and definitely go back anytime I'm craving crawfish!! read more

Best crawfish around, hands down! Best price too! The atmosphere is so family friendly, but also nice to go with friends and throw back some beers. Service has always been great and consistent great crawfish. read more

We had a very good experience here in April. The service was excellent and the crawfish was well seasoned. My husband is Cajun so finding good crawfish is a goal. It is kid friendly and it is BYOB. Would return here in a heartbeat. read more

Nice clean place to eat crawfish and seafood . Employees are pleasant, food was decent and in line with price. Crawfish is $6.99 lb deals for over 10lbs. The spice was mild, but they have spice, hot sauce and butter on the side. They also sell live crawfish I think. This place is very clean, air conditioning inside and outside seating available. It's a BYOB. $2.50 for for 32 oz sodas fee refills I will be back read more

Very excellent atmosphere setting for all age groups. Very good service and a variety of boiled items except crawfish.

Big winner, very cool and rustic. Crawfish were awesome. Cold beer and great place to relax.

Great crawfish and love that it's BYOB! Just wish it was open all year long...even if it was just other seafood served besides crawfish! This place has a great atmosphere! read more

First the bad: We sat down, ordered a couple of waters, sodas and wanted to look over the menu. We ended up ordering a side of boudin balls, fries and a crawfish pie for my gf and I. Her sister ordered a crawfish pie, fries and some tenders for the kids. No exaggeration...the food took 30-40min to come out and our server didn't come back to the table until our food did. When it finally came, we ordered a couple pounds of boiled crawfish because we didn't know when she would be back. While we waited, we dug into the boudin balls...disappointing...they looked burnt, were very bland and at $4.99 for only 3 of them, these are extremely over priced. I've been to far too many other places in TX and LA that serve double that for the same price. They also have american cheese in the middle, which is fine with me but if I didn't like dairy or was allergic, I'd like to know that beforehand. They should put that on the menu that they have cheese in them. The fries weren't seasoned even with salt so thank God they have their own seasoning on the table to doctor them up. We ordered 2 sides of what they call remoulade to dip the fries in but it's definitely not true remoulade and they should be embarrassed to call it that. Please guys, find a real recipe online to serve and not just ketchup with mayo and paprika. The crawfish pie was another let down. It was bland as well...no real flavor and it had LOTS and LOTS of bell peppers, which ended up being off-putting. We waited for the boiled crawfish another 15-20min, which is weird because food that is simple to make should not take this long to come out, especially fried food. Now the good: This place is known for their boiled crawfish and I will say it's wonderful! The potatoes and corn were really good too! The server finally started checking on us after the crawfish arrived and she was really sweet. We'll definitely be back for the boiled crawfish! read more

Check for there specials, all food is non seasoned. They do have a BYOB policy, bring your own booze. Beer and bottle. Most days 6/7 you can walk in and get a table. Just once had to wait about 10 minutes. read more

Swung by for some Crawfish and fixins' to go!!! It was amazing!!! We didn't stay but the atmosphere looks really fun and family friendly. You guys are doing a great job! Keep up serving that juicy crawfish! read more

I wanted to really like this place. I heard a lot of great things. But the crawfish wasn't impressive and I've definitely had better. I would go back. Also first come first serve just bothers me. read more

Best crawfish in our around Houston I've had yet. They boil them in proper crawfish boil seasoning, unlike every place I've been to inside Houston which just sprinkles seasoning on the outside (I'm looking at you, LA Crawfish, Cajun Kitchen, 88 Boiling, and a few others...). read more

Great crawfish at a great price. Super lowkey atmosphere and BYOB. Not really a menu here, you just figure out how many lbs you want and if you want potatoes/corn with it. The flavor of the crawfish was perfect; not too spicy but not too boring. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

So they have a special on crawfish and it's a great deal, however the crawfish are so salty they are completely inedible. Very disappointed and I'll be sure to go elsewhere and pay more for good crawfish. read more

Great Crawfish, great service, great atmosphere.. I will drive away from Kemah to visit this place anytime.

This is a great place to eat crawfish. The crawfish were seasoned just right and the service was great. Highly recommended this place to eat. read more

Delicious crawfish for a great price - byob is a great option. We forgot our bottle opener and they were more than willing to find one for us - great service! read more

I've been coming to pook's since last year and really thought it was a hidden gem but lately when I've gone through drive thru paying $70 plus every time the crawfish would be COLD. Easy fix right!! They would act like they didn't know it was cold but instantly replace it so after 3 times of that I decided to start going in to place a to go order we last night was the last straw I ordered 5lbs of crawfish and the snow crab platter with corn potatoes and sausage now I come her at least 3 times a week but last night was the most disrespectful crap ever!!! The cashier told me the crawfish would be ready in 5 to 10 minutes when I received the crawfish is was cold like it no signs of being cook in the last 30 minutes cold and the crab legs were cold as well!!! The disrespect is the fact they made me wait to hand me cold food the they cold have handed me when I ordered... safe to say I will never spend my money there again and hopefully no one else experience this horrible service like I did read more

Overall and most importantly the crawfish here was tasty and spicy! The menu is limited just your basic crawfish shack. Nothing fancy. It's byob so come prepared with your own beer. We got seated quickly and courteously. The girls that work here are friendly. I wish I could say that made up for the food wait time. That would be my only complaint. And the restrooms need attention. Only one stall for ladies and men and not clean. Womens toilet did not work properly. Constantly a wait for the bathroom. We ordered 7lbs and boudain balls. The balls were excellent, deep fried with ranch. 3 for 5 bucks is steep but they sure were tasty. The mushrooms corn and potatoes with the craw is a must. I would eat here again. Maybe when they are not so busy. read more

Loooovvvvveeee this place! I wish I would have known about it sooner. It's so convenient being a BYOB ice house because then I don't have to over-spend on drinks. I went on a warm sunny day and they had the garage doors rolled up and it was great, perfect breeze. The place gets really busy but you don't feel like you're sitting on top of people at tables nearby, you have plenty of space. I bought a pound of shrimp which came with corn on the cob and 2 red potatoes and it was the perfect portion size. Only negative- I didn't check the market price that they were selling shrimp for before hand..... They costed me $16.00 for the one pound. And I believe the crawfish were going for 5 pounds for 25$. Soooo maybe I'll stick with the mud bugs next time! read more

The food and service are great at this location. We have multiple families compliment the food at this great restaurant. The atmosphere is awesome. The restaurant is always very clean. We have recommended this place to all of our neighbors. Go try some crawfish and shrimp. read more

Pook's Crawfish Hole - One of the great deals at Pooks - Seafood Near Me - Santa Fe, Texas

Had husband's birthday meal here yesterday. It's open air, byob, and pretty kid friendly. We had a large group with kids but our waitress was excellent. She didn't hover but was available whenever we needed something. Everyone in our party said the crawfish were great, not too spicy. Our kids ate plenty of them. I enjoyed a bowl of strimp etouffee, it was very tasty, not too salty and almost had a buttery taste. Pooks quickly became our new favorite spot for crawfish season. Looking g forward to our next meal there. Thanks for making my husbands day amazing! read more

They have the best crawfish ever and there gumbo is the bomb I love it so much just it takes a little longer than expected but besides that it is grate read more

Awesome atmosphere, and BYOB! It might take a while to get seated because of how packed ot gets, but it's well worth it. The crawfish are purged great, and the spices you can add yourself when it comes out so the people who dont like their crawfish as spicy can eat too. read more

This place is AMAZING!!!! Literally the best crawfish and goxins I have had in years! We had 5 lbs of crawfish 2 corn, 2 potato, and 2 orders of mushrooms. The mushrooms we spicy but so yummy!!! I love that it's BYOB, just wheel your cooler down sit down and pop open a cold one! The waitress was super sweet, they mostly look like young girls right out of high school. They were all very sweet. So you might be asking why only 4 stars? Weeellll I can't be the judge for other nights but the bathroom was not clean when we were there. The toilet was broken and you kinda had to mess with the handle to get it to flush. The cap to the back of the toilet was thrown on the floor and broken in the corner. And I saw many of the staff going in and out of the bathroom and nothing was done. We will be going back next week!!! read more

I don't eat crawfish but I do love me some crab legs and they are yummo!!! Love that it's BOYB as well!! It's a nice country atmosphere with good people! It's close to home and delicious. I look forward to every time I get to go there!! read more

This place was awesome. Crawfish had great flavor. Food came out quickly. BYOB....service was great too.

Super flavorful crawfish! Only reason I'm not giving 5 starts is bcuz I love super spicy crawfish! But I would definitely go again...they had enough flavor to enjoy! & You can't go wrong with BYOB!!! read more

SRY!!! Heard all the rant & rave on this place, n my first time has been a BUST!!! 4PM WED-$30 check, $1-2 small potatoes, $1-2 small soggy, overly sugared corn, $1.50-3 inch of cut sausage(come on hot dogs are 5.5inchs)great flavor, mushrooms were great, CRAWFISH 75% pinky size, n shallow/deep water mix. Package for Togo was fantastic, still hot/warm 20 mins ltr. RIP tail from head, n 15% stays in head, I got a mouthful of warm tasteless saltwater, tail was flavorless salty n most had to be peeled from shell. 5 lb special? I see why, I threw it away after 1 lb n ate fish sandwich from whataburger. read more

These guys cook crawfish like my family in Louisiana. It really hits the spot. I hate when it is super crowded and you can't get a table though. One night we had to sit at the very back bar and didn't even get to talk with my family as we ate. BYOB, they have live music some nights, closed mondays. I wish crawfish season was year round! read more

Stopped in for some crawfish on Sunday afternoon, and we were met at the door and informed they were out of crawfish...2:30 in the afternoon, really??? read more

Love the atmosphere but wish they would make a spicy batch as well as a bland batch. We prefer a lot of spices, my husband and I find that out of about 6 times trying this place in 2013......they were bland. On the upside it is BYOB..... read more

By far the best bugs around. First few aren't very hot but keep eating they get better. We had 5 lbs a piece and could have eaten more but we ran out of beer....rookie mistake I guess. Make sure you bring a cooler because it's a great place to hang out and shoot the breeze after you're done. They do charge for the corn and potatoes but it's worth it. read more

Very good southern seafood here. If want the taste of southern seafood this is a good place to go. Great food great employees and the environment is perfect. read more

Honestly, the crawfish had no flavor - what happened to spicy crawfish? The potatoes and corn also had no spice. The mushrooms had a bit more but barely. I ordered two batches of crawfish yesterday - 4 pounds and 2 pounds. The first batch was cold. The second batch was luke-warm. Disappointing. However, I ordered a pound of the jumbo boiled crawfish and they were delicious. Not because they were spicy but because they were a high quality shrimp product. The best thing I ordered was the boudin ball appetizer. My only complaint is that it came out long after the crawfish. For $6.99/pound for less than 10 pounds, I won't make this place a habit. I ate here a few years ago and remember the crawfish being spicy. Not sure what happened. read more

Checked out this place last night, had an okay experience and would go back if I wanted crawfish without having to drive very far. The good: There were plenty of people here, but there was not a problem finding a spot since there was plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The service was fantastic and the prices ($5.99/lb for crawfish) were reasonably priced, especially this early into crawfish season. I also enjoyed that it was BYOB. The not so good: the first round of crawfish we got were overcooked to the point that they were a bit mushy/falling apart. The second round we got were better than the first, but still slightly overcooked. Also, I wish there was the option of having spicy crawfish as these were a bit too plain for my personal taste. Overall this place isn't bad and I can see myself going back if I did not feel like driving a few hours to get to my favorite crawfish place, but it definitely is not the best crawfish I've had. read more

I love this place my family has been going here for decades. Great prices great crawfish great atmosphere and people. :) give it a try you won't be disappointed! read more

Tried Pook's off recommendation from friends. Had kids with us so couldn't take advantage of the BYOB, but will one day. Food came out pretty quick. Crawfish were juicy, decent size, but just a little too salty. I understand it's supposed to be seasoned, but my wife even made a comment about it, and she eats salt by itself (not kidding). I would pass on ordering the potatoes with it, they were small and not worth $.50 a piece. I would go back again, $5.99/lb is a good price and the overall spice was solid. read more
