    The crawfish were on the small side and the place was not spotless. That being said, I was looking for crawfish, not fine French dining. I ordered mild, and it was perfectly spiced for me. I wish I had ordered another pound The empty plate is testament to the palatability.

    So we originally drove down to go back to another spot we love in Broussard but apparently they did a 360. Off to yelp we went to find a crawfish spot nearby with dine in seating. I found this spot with high reviews. Simple choices here, how many lbs of seafood do you want, what spice level, and would you like any add ons (sausage, dip). The crawfish were nice size even at this time of the season. We got medium and hot and it's really the level on the seasoning on the shell for ppl who like their crawfish heavily seasoned in the water. While I wish they were more juicy they still hit the spot. I wasn't a big fan of the shrimp but that's ok. Clean spot, nice people, and room in and out to enjoy some crawfish or a drive thru option.

    The Crawfish Spot! Delicious crawfish large and seasoned well! The snow crab was great and so were the prices. We will be back!

    Found The Crawfish Spot on our trip and it was delicious. Large crawfish seasoned well! Snow crab was delicious and the prices were great! We will return!

    3 pounds of crawfish, corn and potatoes also dipping sauce and extra Cajun seasoning.

    Stop at Lafayette for dinner and decided to try this spot for some fresh crawfish. A crawfish had the perfect amount of seasoning. The service was good and the crawfish came out within 10 minutes. This restaurant is located in a strip mall and it was averages for us for atmosphere. Will definitely be returning here in the near future for crawfish.

    Boiled crawfish!

    My teenagers love this place! The crawfish were big tasty and plentiful. The only negative thing is the amount of seating is very limited so sometimes you end up sitting next to someone that you do not know. Other than that the food is amazing! Yes, I recommend this place

    I like Louisiana crawfish. Crawfish Spot restaurant is my favorite place to eat boiled crawfish. Their crawfish is always big and very tasty. I like their crawfish Cajun style because the way they season their crawfish is so delicious. This is the best boiled crawfish in Lafayette, Louisiana. If you like boiled crawfish or would like to try the tasty Cajun Louisiana crawfish, then I would highly recommend this restaurant to you.

    Delicious Crawfish, shrimp, corn and potatoes

    This place is just GOOOOOD. No white tablecloths, nothing fancy. Just well seasoned and cooked corn, sausage , boudin, potatoes, crabs, shrimp, beer and crawfish. Don't wear a white shirt

    3lb Crawfish
    Bart K.

    Best in town. After eating at multiple spots, there is no comparison, Crawfish Spot has the best size, seasoning, and pricing. Not to mention the people are super nice.

    3lbs of Crawfish
    Dennise C.

    Literally the best crawfish I've had in a very long time. Service is amazing and friendly and the crawfish is sooo good. I could sit there all day and eat. And the shrimp? Scrumptious. I usually don't order shrimp bc it's usually a let down but I had a feeling about this place. God they were really good. Definitely come here for your crawfish needs!

    The wife and I were just driving around LA for a little bit of a crawfish tour, trying different places here and there, when we found The Crawfish Spot. Service is a 10/10, everybody who worked here was incredibly friendly and cared whether or not we liked everything, and at the same time attentive. The crawfish, oh THE CRAWFISH. Seasoning was fantastic, just the perfect amount of spice. The boiled shrimp were definitely some of the better I've had. Definitely recommend for top tier crawdads!

    Been coming here since my first date with my now husband in 2019. Every time we make our Louisiana trip a stop here is a must during crawfish season. From the friendly staff to the amazing flavors of the mushrooms, potatoes, corn and crawfish, all of it is a must with a nice cold beer. Ambiance is laid back nothing fancy but does the trick. Probably my favorite crawfish spot in Louisiana for sure

    Blue Point Crabs and Shrimp combo (with butter and cocktail sauce) + sides of potato and corn.
    Mark M.

    No crawfish unfortunately. Had their blue point crab and shrimp combo. Cooked nicely! Came with a small potato and half corn on the cob. Ordered butter and cocktail sauce (cost extra). Got 'regular' spice and my lips are buzzing after it! But I'm not used to Cajun spice Really plain and informal dining. Glad that they had a sink to wash up afterwards. Service was ok, very young, but helpful. TVs on the walls were competing channels. If you're looking for a good seafood boil (where the butter and salty water runs down your sleeves), this delivers!

    Crawfish Dip
    Brandian R.

    Came to the crawfish spot while in town for work as crawfish season is my favorite season. Nothing special about the decor but it's perfect for crawfish enthusiasts like myself. Plenty of parking as well. Kept it simple and ordered crawfish dip as well as some boiled crawfish with a level above mild seasoning. That dip was on of the best things I've ever put in my mouth, i could've ate that alone. The crawfish were cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Now the seasoning wasn't hot per say but after a few pounds it was burning me up from the inside. Nonetheless the crawfish was good as I revisited the next day for all you can eat crawfish and at about 8-9lbs before tapping out, this time with mild seasoning. Service was pretty good. They were informative of the menu and regularly checked with us. 2nd day there was a bit of a struggle as they were training someone but nothing bad things just took a little longer. Will be back in next crawfish season to see if i can eat 10lbs or more in one sitting!

    This restaurant is known for their crawfish unfortunately I visited for a weekday lunch and they…read morewere posting a sign on the doors after I had walked in stating they don't serve crawfish until 4pm weekdays, 3pm on weekends. This may have been part of the reason its wasn't all that busy on a Tuesday lunch. Similar to some other restaurants in Louisiana I've visited, they have a side with a bar, to-go area and high tops, and a more family oriented side of the restaurant with a bunch of low top tables. Fried pork rinds are served with every table. They have daily plate lunches and the one day I came it was chicken fried steak. However, it's not usually a good idea to order CFS outside of Texas in my experience. Therefore, I ended up ordering the catfish and shrimp platter, served grilled instead and added a $5 strawberry margarita. The entree comes with a side salad but they only have seelct dressings and none which I would typically order, so i just settled on honey mustard. Margarita- for only $5 it's not bad and comes with either sugar or salt rim Catfish and shrimp platter - seasoned with a blackened seasoning but it wasn't spicy. The catfish filet was small and tasted like it was previously frozen. The shrimp were also small and didn't taste much better. Not sure I'd return if ever in Lafayette, as I was really looking for a more festive environment and more grilled options.

As I am someone who was in the restaurant when it happened…read more I just think it's funny how you aren't mentioning y'all came in as 6 people and then wanted accommodations for 30 people during one of the busiest times of the night. Or that they argued with the amazing manager for nearly an hour total after being told they couldn't accommodate that size party. They're also leaving out the part where people from their group marched in and seated themselves, stood over occupied tables waiting for guests to leave, insisting the hosts clean the tables, and made the entire restaurant uncomfortable. This had nothing to do with race and everything to do with behavior. Any group acting like that would've gotten the exact same response. In short, do better. Y'all came in and ruined everyone's dinner because y'all don't know how to plan ahead. Stop blaming people for your mistakes and take accountability.

This is a top-notch local seafood restaurant, and long time favorite. When I say "long-term", I'm almost 82 & have been a customer for over 65 years, since coming with my parents in the 1950's. I know of no other restaurant anywhere with that record of excellence & consistent performance. The specialty is Louisiana Atlantic blue crab, and in that genre, Riverside has no real peers. Yes, they offer a wider array including local crawfish, shrimp, & oysters; plus cold water lobsters & steaks. But our crab is delicate & must be handled with expertise. Riverside does that better than I could at home on the Teche. Secluded off street lot parking, swamp-ish theme landscaped grounds, locals bar, professional waitstaff. If unfamiliar w/ area, use your phone for directions. One can't go wrong here. 5+ Stars from me, every time. Don't stop until you get here ! Caveat, may be closed Sundays & Mondays, call first. Rick
