If you love bold flavors and southern comfort, Razzoo's is an absolute must! Every bite bursts with that perfect blend of spice, smoke, and soul that you just can't find anywhere else. From rich, creamy jambalaya to perfectly seasoned gumbo and crispy fried catfish, every dish feels like a trip straight to Louisiana. The balance of heat and flavor is spot on -- never overwhelming, just enough to keep you coming back for more. And don't even get me started on the cornbread and étouffée... pure perfection! Whether you're a foodie or just someone who appreciates a hearty, flavorful meal, Cajun cuisine never disappoints. Five stars all the way! And Savannah provided great service! read more

Man o man! Where to begin?! I'll start with, I'm late to the game with most of my Texan Fam. They've all been here a few times, and rave about some of the meals here. So naturally, I just had to come and dip my toes into the swamp. And it did not disappoint! Our table had a variety of meals and appetizers. We had the fried Catfish & Shrimp baskets, the Buttermilk Chicken Tenders basket, Fried Pickled Chips, Boudin Balls, some Rat Toes, Andouille Sausage w/ Red Beans & Rice... just to name a few . Even a basket of Crawfish when in season. Also the Fried Gator Tails... and Dayuuuum... what a treat! If you haven't had Gator before, it's actually delicious. I won't tell you it tastes like chicken, because in my opinion... it doesn't. My overall experience felt like I was in an authentic place, and the ambiance of Razoo's transported me to another place, in a different time. Our service was top notch and it offered a fun place for all age groups. I was able to wash it all down with some Peach Mambo- and in the words of Rick Flair- WOOOOOOOO!! Ça c'est Bon! As always, enjoy and Happy Swamp Thangs! read more

At first, we were met with rudeness and I got the feeling we were not wanted. There was no host and the waitress my husband spoke too rolled her eyes and shook her head when he walked away. It was our first visit, so we were unsure if we were to seat ourselves-and that is all he asked her. We actually left and after a heated discussion, decided to go back in-and I'm so glad we did! The food was SO good! And it was funny, because when we walked back in, there was a hostess-so I'm not sure why the one lady told us there wasn't. Anyway, Sophie waited on us and she was super nice. Not as attentive on my drink, but that's ok. It wasn't that busy, but I assumed they were understaffed. I did want to try the Ménage a Trifle, but they were out of strawberries, so, no dessert. Maybe next time. Love love loved the atmosphere! Love NOLA and the decor was perfect! read more

Sabrina was a great server - very friendly and warm. The food was good as usual, and her friendly attitude made the experience very good.

Sabrina was our server for lunch today. Needless to say she provided the best service I've ever had at one of the locations. The food was ok but her friendly smile made it better. read more

First of the service was great. Fast, attentive and friendly 5-5 stars. The atmosphere is fun, very southern swamp Cajun vibe. 5-5 We had a cocktail and one of their all day sips and the Cajun fondue. Fondue was very bland, served with bread when I think chips are a much better choice. Was definitely disappointed. 3-5 stars. Price was appropriate. Cocktails are around 10-11 dollars and the appetizer was I believe $11? Not disappointed but, not impressed. 4-5 stars. Not a bad stop but, considering the area and other places to try won't likely be back. read more

Absolutely Outstanding Service from Savannah! From the moment we were seated, Savannah went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. She greeted us with a genuine smile that made us feel right at home and somehow managed to be both attentive and relaxed -- the perfect balance. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, kept our drinks full, and made spot-on recommendations that turned out to be amazing. What stood out the most was her kindness and professionalism. Savannah didn't just take our order -- she created a welcoming, enjoyable atmosphere that made the whole meal so much better. You can tell she takes pride in her work and truly cares about her guests. If every restaurant had a Savannah, dining out would always be this special. We'll definitely be coming back -- and asking for her by name! read more

First of all, if you want to order food to go you have to order at the bar. I understand they are busy however, At this point, we've been waiting on food to go over 30 minutes. We haven't been offered even a complimentary glass of water. Food was okay read more

Cassie is awesome. Food was ok not great. Cassie needs to win. She's the best. Service is great. Ambience rocks.

Food is great. Service is awesome!! Sabrina was our server several times. She is amazing and attentive.

Review: Management at this restaurant requires better training in customer service and employee training. Let me start out by apologizing for such a wordy review. I feel like I must get this off my chest to be able to move forward. On July 17, 2024, my family and I visited one of my daughter's favorite places in Tyler. We were seated and served by a very nice server named Faith. When I ordered a double Jim Beam and water tall, Faith seemed a bit confused and mentioned she was 18 and knew little about alcohol. I reassured her it was fine. She also got a bit mixed up with my son-in-law's beer order but resolved it quickly, showing her attentiveness and willingness to do a good job. Later, my wife and I decided to order shots of Grand Marnier for ourselves and our son-in-law. Concerned that Faith might struggle with the pronunciation, I went to the bar to place the order directly. The bartender confirmed they had it, and I requested three shots to be sent to our table. I returned to our table, and a short time later, a person who presented herself as the manager asked who the shots were for. I joked they were for my grandchildren, then clarified they were for my wife, son-in-law, and myself. The manager informed me it was against policy to order drinks directly from the bar for the table. She said they couldn't serve me a shot because I already had a drink, but could serve my wife and son-in-law. My wife immediately told my daughter (who doesn'tdrink) to set the drink in front of her so we could have them and continue our dinner. The manager said that wouldn't happen either. I told the manager to go ahead and cancel the shots order, and she replied that it was not a problem since it was never rung up because I broke policy by ordering shots at the bar for the table. In my opinion, this situation was handled poorly by the manager. I explained that I went to the bar to help Faith with the order, but the manager accused me of insulting Faith. I told the manager I was not trying to insult anyone. Faith made it very clear that she was 18 and didn't know anything about alcohol, so I canceled the shots order due to the manager's attitude. When the food arrived, I apologized to Faith if she felt insulted, but she assured me she did not. The food was good, as usual, but this experience with the manager soured the evening. If you're going to have an 18-year-old server who doesn't know about alcohol, either provide better training or have a more experienced manager or server assist with alcohol orders. Faith was attentive and did her best, but the manager lacked the skills to handle the situation appropriately. This location clearly has management issues, as evidenced by the near-empty parking lot at 6:15 PM on a Wednesday. The food remains good, and I recommend Faith as a server. However, I do not recommend this location for an enjoyable dining experience, especially if you plan to order drinks. Our combined tabs totaled $175, which would have been higher if not for the manager's inflexibility. I give 3 stars only because of Faith and the quality of the food. If I had to rate the place based on the experience with the manager, it would have been minus 3 stars. I hope upper management sees this review and addresses these concerns. read more

Catfish came uncooked and was slimy. Green beans we're unseasoned straight out of the can. manager didn't even come check on us afterwards.

I was looking for a quick meal so I ordered for pickup . I got the catfish basket. I've had Razzoo's before in other locations but it's been years. I'm not sure what changed , but the food was just OK. Nothing about the food wowed me to be honest. It wasn't bad, I just expected more . I did enjoy my cocktail. read more

So this was the first visit here in a few years.So the menu has changed a bit. The host was very nice and engaging. There was no wait but plenty of people in the restaurant. The waitress was nice and attentive. We had the chicken fondue and butterfly shrimp and cheeseburger. The food was okay, but nothing stood out. read more

We got takeout, portions were super small and we weren't impressed with the gator. Overall a bit overpriced for quality of food.

Dinner on Wednesday night. Food, service were great. Had driven in from Austin. Awesome way to end the day. Will be back.

I have left a review for Razzoo's before, but this review is a shout out to the bar. Although we have been here for dinner, we enjoy going to restaurants for just drinks and appetizers, have done so a few times now at Razzoo's. Have had the pleasure of Danielle waiting on us and mixing our drinks all three times. The drinks are on the stronger side (a few of the drinks are a two limit cocktail), which makes me feel better paying for them. But more importantly, you taste great. I have had the Magnolia Sunrise Tea, The Worm Burner, and the Bloody Voodoo Mary. All of which I recommend trying. Give Razzoo's a try, but for sure, stop by for an afternoon of appetizers and drinks. read more

I have eaten at Razzoo's for better than 22 years, but my wife of 13 years never had until tonight which means I haven't for 13 years either. To start off, the whiskey sour she ordered was an abomination...it is her favorite and with Gentlemen's Jack it should have been a step above, but no. That said, the raw oysters were so fresh and clean it took me back to Pier 30 and our yearly vacations we take there, thank you for that. The Rat Toes are still a pleasure to eat and are fascinatingly original after all these years. The Shrimp Fondue was fun and full of flavor. Everything we tried was spot on. The service was friendly and attentive yet not over bearing and the manager checked in personally twice. Journie (jur-nay') was our waitress and was very fun and inviting. If you want to have fun Cajun food in an exciting atmospherel, stop here...we will be back to try more dishes soon so check back for updates... read more

Where do I start..... the food and service were horrible. I was sat at a booth on the bar. The bartender wanted nothing to do with me once I did not order an alcoholic beverage.... I did not ask to sit in this section. I ordered an appetizer that was decent. I was fine with it and had to ask her to take my order for more food. She was more interested in talking to one person at the bar. The 2 small catfish pieces disgusting. The shrimp was ok. The red beans had no flavor and the rice was undercooked. Should have gone to Clear Springs///- read more

Always good food and great service, love the stuffed shrimp and fried crawfish tails.

Loved tbe mardi party shimp Ordered the chopped salad with blackened salmon. Trying to limit sugar.received the hurricane glazed salad. Asked to return food. A manager liked person came out and asked me why and made me feel bad. I was confused because I did not know I got the wrong food. They redid food to blackened salmon and a version of chopped salad without the egg and chrispy bacon. Later, the server told me I had received the hurricane salad in error. I believe I should have been comp the salad for their mistake as my husband had finished his meal when I got my salad fixed. I also asked for a water togo that I did not get. Probably will not return. read more

Macy was great !! Best waiter I've had in a minute thank you !! Food was great as well nice and clean atmosphere read more

Service was extremely slow and it was not busy. Blackened catfish tasted like it was cooked in dirty water and mushy. Was not able to eat it

Not very flavorful. Not sure how they are in business. I've been there 4-5 times since they opened and it's never been good. Place looks cool though. (Random characters to meet character limit: bdhababsdgshqbsvdgwhahabdvshabsvdgwgqbsvdvwgagsvegwg) read more

Don't get the outside banner special of shrimp and catfish. The shrimp were like cocktail shrimp they tried to fry. Needless to say the all you can eat banner is a spoof don't buy it your waiting your money. read more

Im 63 years old and hVe been traveling for work over 40 years. Have eaten in thousands if restaurants all over the country and usually eat my bad experiences. NOT THIS TIME! First of all i know better than to order boiled crawfish in any restaurant outside of south louisiana. But i took a chance. Bad choice. Sat at bar alone. Bartender took 15 minutes to notice me then asked if i wanted something to eat. Ordered the "Bubba Boil"2 pounds of boiled crawfish, 6 boiled shrimp, potatoes and corn and sausage. Took 45 minutes to bring out. Ive been cooking and eating crawfish for 40 years. These were grossly overcooked. Cooked to mush with an formaldehyde smell. Potatoes cooked to mush as was corn. No sausage. I aked her about sausage she said she would check on it. After driving 7 hours and taking a 26 mile detour to find the place i was hungry enough to choke this slop down knowing i was paying for it. She showed up with sausage after i was done. These people open cajun restaurants thinking the word will bring them and most people go in not really knowing what a good boiled crawfish is. $45 wasted and my time. I would have gotten 100 times more satisfaction with a McDonalds quarter pounder. THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!!!!!!' read more

Mateo was an amazing server and took great care of me and my friends when we came in!

I go to razzoos about once every two weeks and order the chopped house salad without bacon(I'm vegetarian). The last time I ordered it they forgot the egg, the only protein on the salad, but I ignored it. They did the same thing last night and when I called the manager said the salad didn't come with egg (it does). I included a picture of my salad from last night just as reference. It looks like they threw it together and isn't representative of the salad I've gotten in the past. read more

Used to be really great and crowded. Had not been in about two years. Crawfish Etouffe tasted like it had been burned. Crab cake appetizer consisted of two tiny cakes with hardly any crab. Wife said he jalapeno catfish was good. Really a big disappointment for a $60 meal for two, read more

Razors in Tyler, TX has awesome food, and really amazing staff. I had the Crawfish Etouffee (with white rice, as the regular rice that comes with the entree has pork included), Gator bites and fries. ALLLLL were very delicious and tasty!!! I will surely be back! *Side note: I ordered take-out/pickup my 2nd time around, and the process was extremely slow and unorganized. Thought the food was just as great, but a little cold :-(. Lesson learned - never order takeout from this location. read more

Turning away mask exempt people, when they clearly have plenty of tables. Their loss, we would have spent a good chunk of change with 4 tweens, 2 younger kiddos & 2 adults. Mask exempt customers are expected to go purchase masks to walk to the table then they don't have to wear them? Gtfoh. We even offered to use napkins, or any other type of home made masks we could make in a pinch. Nope. Won't be back. read more

Two times in a row disappointed. I use to love this place. Last time server forgot us to place our food order. This time gumbo cold, asked for another and waited and waited while others at different tables served. Finally paid for our drinks and left hungry. read more

Unique menu with broad options. Loved my meal. An appetizer of Boudin Balls arrived first. Great seasoning and a spicy sauce on the side. Dinner was Cajun Combo Skillet. All three items were tasty. My favorite was the shrimp creole, but the crawfish etouffee was also great. Plenty of Cajun seasoning but still balanced enough to taste the meat. The sweet corn was cooked perfect and was flavorful. Lots of rice as a base as well to mix in. Served in a cast iron skillet kept the meal hot for the entire meal. Great cookin ya' all !! read more
