i got the 1/2 and 1/2 fried crawfish and crawfish etouffee, it was packed with flavor! It was my first time and if i had known it all came in the same bowl, i would've asked them to separate them. i'm just very picky about my food touching each other. The service was great, and they were open on 4th of july so that was helpful. I wish they had turned their a/c up a bit more cause it was a bit warm inside. I definitely want to return to try their crawfish boil! read more

I've been frequenting this place for the last 7 years. At one point the food, flavor and service were consistent. Since our fav bar tender Makayla left it has went down hill. (Last 3-4 years). The bartenders are always overwhelmed. The kitchen staff has not been consistent with the flavor or doneness of the seafood. How can you mess up boiled shrimp and fried catfish. ‍ Lastly it's too many employees standing around, therefore no customer should have to wait for service. I'm hoping the owner/manager notices the decline in business and realizes small fixes can take the business a long way. Summer is coming - seafood sales are increasing, however, Louisiana Cuisines in the Houston area are declining drastically. read more

Due to my allergies- I only come for the crawfish. They have an amazing special 4 lbs for 24$ on Tuesday & everyday of the week until 2. They are a great size and the flavor is awesome. (FYI) I'm pretty picky!! I've heard the boudin balls are amazing! Huge size, the poboys are GENEROUS! They have an all you can eat catfish day as well!! - Evan isn't the nicest of all people, he seems lazy, Sierra works hard, she's so kind. Most of the staff is really helpful and nice. All the women can speak for at-least.. They have an outside patio and it's got cute seating areas!! They do a yearly crawfish boil which is awesome as well. Overall they need to have more people working during crawfish season in the mornings and not have just two people when there's 27 people inside eating.. Managements issue for sure.. It's always really dark which is why I tend to sit outside, they have a pool table which is awesome and some games!! I enjoy coming here but the drinks are INSANELY pricy but they are really good. I recommend the swamp water and the witchy witch drink. They have another area for corn hole in the front it's pretty nice and there's turf. read more

Listen!!! I scrolled through Tik Tok and saw Tad's had AYCE crawfish and ran to the restaurant. It was actually true and it's only $30! Shocked yet again! The crawfish were sooo huge and juicy. I'll suggest to let them know to go light on the dusting, but other than that - GAME CHANGER for me. I can't believe I'm just finding out about this. read more

The food was great! I got the seafood appetizer and the crawfish queso. A few firsts for, I couldn't have picked a better place for it in my opinion. The alligator was really good and the fried shrimp too. The queso was really good! Its got a good bit of kick to it from the jalapeños, and the crawfish was really good. My server Kaylee was great. Kept checking in to make sure I didnt need anything and asking how the food was. What a great way to watch the USA world cup game! read more

TaD's Louisiana Cooking became my first dining experience at this establishment. The restaurant presents a welcoming environment through its rustic design which matches the Southern dining experience. The staff provided friendly service which remained efficient throughout our visit without excessive attention. The gator bites stood out as a highlight because they had a crunchy exterior that gave way to tender meat which I rated 7 out of 10. The chicken gumbo failed to impress me because it lacked sufficient flavor. The dish had proper cooking and texture but it failed to deliver the expected depth of flavor and seasoning. The flavor profile seemed incomplete because it lacked an essential element. The combination of a nice atmosphere and good service along with several excellent dishes made my experience worth a 7 out of 10 rating. I will return to this restaurant to sample additional dishes while discovering their complete Louisiana-inspired menu. read more

The food is excellent! That is easy five stars. They are close to five stars. Just need to work on the service and their tap water. Food: is absolutely amazing! Top notch food. The gumbo is great. One of the best gumbos I've had in a very long time. Hands down, the best boudain balls I've ever had. Top notch. The shrimp po boy is excellent! Lastly the Jambois great food. We enjoyed all of their food. They need help with service. Took forever to get refills and our check. Also the tap water here is extremely bad ! They should serve free water bottles. I almost dropped them to a 3 bc of that. Bad water. I'll definitely come back for the food. read more

We visited the restaurant on a Sunday evening, they had a special for all you can eat snow crab. Within an hour of arriving, and we were eating the crab legs the waitress came out 30 minutes prior to closing of the restaurant to say that the kitchen was closed and that we couldn't order a 2nd round. This was our first and last visit to TaD's! read more

The service was horrible today. Our drinks stayed empty for a while because she didn't come and check on us until the food was ready to be delivered to the table. I never got the salad that came with my dinner. At one point I had to ask another waiter to get something for the table because our waitress was nowhere to be found. So Destiny you really need to work on doing a better job. When we come back I will make sure and ask for anyone else. We come here all the time and lately the service is going downhill do better! read more

Came for crawfish! (3/2024 it was 2 lbs for $20.50; or 4 lbs for $40). Crawfish was good! Decent size! I like their Tad's sauce. We also order the Seafood Appetizer Platter with fried shrimp (really good batter), fried catfish , and fried alligator. What I did Not like was the Seafood Trio (Saturday deal for $35). The snow crab and dungenous crab lacked flavor; and the boiled shrimp were awful - No flavor, powdery texture. I would not order than platter again. Stick to the Crawfish! Drink recommendation:::: order a flavored ranch water. I really liked the wild berry flavor, mango was good, and peach ok. We also got a Lava cake for dessert - regret that! It was dry and airy. Its about the size of a large cupcake so 1-2 people could share it. This was our first visit. They do have outdoor seating and what looks like a private party room. Bathrooms were super clean. Our waitress was great!!!! Amazing and nice considering people eating crawfish are messy and needy but she never let our drinks get empty, and was very attentive! Great experience with customer service! read more

My wife and I were looking for a place to grab a quick lunch between some sessions she was attending at a training conference and settled on this place since we haven't had Cajun food for a while and it seemed to have decent reviews. We came by on a Saturday, which meant we missed all of the good deals, including the pick two lunch special and what looks like a spectacular weekday happy hour. Unfortunately, I can't rate a place based on what we didn't experience. The food was a mixed bag. My shrimp po boy (overstuffed) was exactly that, loaded with so much shrimp that I needed a to go box to put half of it away in before I could actually tuck into it. I would have stashed it on a separate plate, but there wasn't one, and certainly wasn't enough space on the plate provided to eat without pouring shrimp all over the table. When I finally got to eat, the sandwich completely fell apart on me, but the flavor was there, even with almost frozen gelatinous cocktail sauce for the shrimp. Overall, this seems like a menu item that's better in theory than execution. My wife's etoufee, on the other hand, was painfully bland. Even the seasoning and hot sauce at the table couldn't salvage it. For the price, especially considering it would have cost less on a weekday at the same time, it was a complete miss. The staff was friendly but we ended up seated pretty far from the kitchen and entrance, which meant service was a bit slow. The aforementioned to go box took almost 20 minutes to reach the table, which delayed my ability to eat my meal. Overall, I probably wouldn't bother coming back here. Between so many other places like BB's, Rouxpour, Boudreaux's, and Ragin Cajun, there is simply better options for Cajun, both in terms of quality of food and cheaper prices. read more

The drive was a little ways from our area but it was worth the drive. Good food, extensive menu, great service and a great family friendly place. It was a very pleasant experience to dine there and they have a bar area and a dining area as well as outside dining. Please go out and give this place a try. Our server Denitra made our whole dining experience so enjoyable. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and met all our request. She had a great personality and made us feel right at home. read more

Where do I begin , WE LOVE THIS PLACE !!!! My family and I are football fans and we come on Sundays to watch the game and the to partake of the delicious all you can eat catfish !!! The catfish is the best seasoned catfished that I have had here in the Houston , the waitstaff is amazing and anytime we have a big party of people TAD'S is always ready to accommodate us, I'm not sure why this place got 3 stars but if we could eat here everyday we would !!!! read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon. Got seated quickly, but the table was in a weird spot. It was in the middle of the walkway and right behind the chairs at the bar. Seemed really awkward to be sitting there bc everyone was walking by and we even got bumped on the table a couple of times. I would remove that table if i were the manager. Ordered the blackened shrimp Alfredo and it was not good. The portion was also small (not worth $20). Look at how small the shrimp were. It should be called baby shrimp with some kind of white sauce. The only thing worth eating were the beignet fries. Hubby got the Étouffée and it lacked flavor. The rice was also hard. Which means it was either undercooked or old. read more

Excellent service. Great food. Good atmosphere. A nice place to come and enjoy the game or just a quick bite and run. Very impressed.

We visited the restaurant in Katy at 8:30 on Sunday after calling to verify the hours. They seated us and advised after 10 minutes that the kitchen is closed. We drove 20 miles and on the phone, they stated closing time is 10 pm and a certain food item is no longer available after 8. We are very disappointed. No food, no drinks, no service. read more

I hadn't been to Tad's in a few years. I heard they were having a crawfish deal, 4 pounds for $24.99. Unfortunately, I received under four pounds. The crawfish were small and lacking flavor. On the bright side I tried their bread pudding which was delightful! I may go back just for that! The service was steady and our server was friendly. read more

My second time coming , and last. Horrible service, food was cold as it was waiting out to be served. Both times we were sat on the left side by ourselves making it a very isolated experience, which lead to feeling like we were constantly forgotten about. Lastly, VERY DIRTY. Sticky tables, dirty floors, and the bathroom was disgusting. For the prices and level they advertise themselves at, this is not worth it at all. read more

Tad's Louisiana Cooking - Outside view - Seafood Near Me - Katy, Texas

I'm so sorry, people of Katy. The service here was okay the guy was friendly enough, but a bit slow. However, the reason for the low rating was the food. The food came out super quick, which I was excited about. However, once my meal arrived it seemed the dish never quite encountered salt, pepper, or any kind of seasoning. We're talking crawfish etouffe. How does that not have flavor? It wasn't gross mind you. It was just desperately in need of pepper, hot sauce, garlic, and a cook from New Orleans and not the Katy kid who thinks salt is a pretty fine way to cook everything. Place was clean. Busy, most of the people there seemed happy eating away...because they probably eat bland food at home and never had real authentic cajun food. I just can't come back here. Cause of the food. I mean if a friend has a birthday, fine I'll show up, but I'm bringing a bottle of Adobo to save my plate. I recommend you do the same if someone tells you to try this place out. read more

I Had opportunity to try this place for dinner with friends recently. I wasn't that hungry so I only catfish bites and bowl of crawfish ettoufee. My thoughts are that the food is decent, large portions but over priced for quality. The catfish was the best thing and seasoned well but the ettoufee was mushy, salty and over spiced heat. They give you more rice than anything. My husband ordered blackened grill chicken salad which was $24 for greens & protein. Way overpriced as chicken was dry. Also, I ordered what was supposedly a "top shelf" margarita but it tastes like spiked lemonade at best and was served in plastic tall water cup for $18. I'm not saying don't give it a try just set your expectations. Good for the neighborhood. One thing I can save positive is the service was really good and our waitresses very attentive for large party. Sorry no pics but they're on Yelp already. read more

I don't really like catfish, however, this place made me change my mind. My husband and mom got the all you can eat catfish and my daughter and I got the shrimp po boy. Let me start with the catfish. It was good. The cornmeal batter was seasoned really good. I would order it for myself next time. The shrimp po boy was overflowing with shrimp. You couldn't see the bread. Two maybe three people can eat off of one po boy. I will be back soon. read more

So last time I was at dad's the restroom was so disgusting that it was worse than a truck stop dump. It stunk so bad. I've never smelt such a horrible bathroom in my life Ben this time I go there we have a seafood combo platter and the food was raw and it's supposed to be deep-fried. Got chicken wings. They were completely red. It was raw chicken wings. It was horrible. Never had chicken wings that are raw in my life that are pink that is disgusting and then you wanna move to the service while you never saw anybody. It took forever to get any service. No questions were asked absolutely I will never in my life go back to this place again it is horrible. Turn around if you pull in the parking lot and save yourself some time. and the group of people I was with there was five others that saw the same thing and definitely they will not be going there again and I guarantee you we're gonna pass the word around how bad this place has turned into it is disgusting. read more

This spot has potential but lacks cleanliness and how they sanitize and protect food from contamination. I've dined in here but had the privilege of using their drive thru and let's just say you can see almost everything in the kitchen. I personally witnessed handling of the trash with bare hands and then grabbing customers plates with food that was about to be served. Scratching heads then handling again customers food without washing their hands. I stopped going here for that reason as that disgusted me. read more

The service provided by Phoebe was extremely exceptional. Ordered a sandwich then decided I wanted the shrimp platter at the last minute. Phoebe was kind enough to have them change my order without any back and forth from her. The shrimp platter was good. Had a mixture of grilled and fried shrimps platter. They were both delicious. read more

Pretty disappointed in my experience. The crawfish was very tasteless. So they only seem to boil the crawfish with no spices or anything. It comes with a sauce that is like thousand island, and the corn was literally just a boiled corn. In my opinion HEBs crawfish has more taste than what we got here. Also ordered a Cajun pasta, very very bland and it tasted like it was cream mixed in with crawfish water which was very strange- did not like it at all to say the least. The service was also a big let down. All of our plates (we were 3 at our table) came in separately every 15-20mins, which was annoying and food was not even hot. Personally do not recommend. read more

We went there today right after work for happy hour and what we thought would be some good seafood. The website enticed us. We were a group of 4 and we're going to be 6. There was no one at the host stand which said to wait to be seated. No one ever came until others showed up and an older man yelled, she will be right with you! A girl ran over, yelled out, seat yourselves! We did. Not a good first impression but no big deal. Welp! She never came back. No one came at all. We waited for 15 minutes and then we asked at the bar about ordering. The same girl yelled, I'll bring menus! She never came back so we left. We slowly walked. No one noticed. No one cared. Can't comment on food. Didn't have any. I'll never return. read more

This place was decent and reasonably priced. I had breakfast which is only served on the weekends. Cash was our server and he was off the chain! My food was good but the sausages were overcooked and I could only eat the middle. Normally I would send it back but I was nearly finished with my plate. The ambiance was cool with a Louisiana type backdrop. It seems like a nice spot to hangout. There's a full bar with TV's and a patio area, almost a sports bar feel. Don't sleep on the beignet fries because they are the best thing on the menu! read more
