We stayed a while and noticed sometimes it's gets full then it clears out, then gers full again. Parking- shared lot with other businesses. Service- easy, order at the counter.

Came here with my crawfish eating besties to get our fix in before the season was over. As one of…read morethe higher rated crawfish spots in Houston, I was excited to check it out. Because of it's popularity and competitive pricing, this place had a steady stream of people coming in and out. It is a stand alone business in a busy shopping complex so parking can be challenging. This place could be classified as a hole in the wall which isn't a bad thing, but just painting a picture. When you walk in, there's a lobby area that is basically used just to order food and get your drinks and condiments. There's also a hand washing station. Then you have an inside seating area with a bunch of tables packed tight next to each other as well as a patio area outside. Restaurant cleanliness was just ok. We had to clean our own table and staff did their best to clean up after people got up to leave. They do have paper towels readily available. Customer service was ok. The menu is pretty simple here. They have boiled seafood like crawfish, snow crab, Dungeness crab and mussels. You have two flavors to choose from which are Cajun or Cajun garlic butter. You can pick a spice level as well. They also have fried items like catfish, shrimp, and minimal appetizers. If you feel like fried rice, they got that too. That particular day, I wasn't in the peeling mood so I went with the fried shrimp basket. This was a generous portion of fried shrimp and fries which really hit the spot. I liked the corn meal breading on it that was seasoned and gave it just the right amount of crunch. The fries could have been seasoned better, but it was still good. Though I didn't want to peel, my amazing friend peeled one for me and it was delicious. I had instant regrets not getting my own order. You know it's a good boil when you don't really need anything to dip it in and the flavors are just there throughout the crawfish. Overall, a good experience was had. If I am in the mood for some good ole fashion Cajun boil, this will be on my repeat list.

This was probably our 4 visit here overall but first in 2026 crawfish season. Upon walking in the…read morehost/ servers were very personable and full of character. We received the shrimp & crab relatively fast; perfect texture and flavor. Everything was juicy and easy to peel. Our server forgot our 4lb crawfish order probably because we had been talking flavors etc no biggie it was fixed quickly..... however after our crawfish was rush ordered it came out with dark red shells that were super hard. Generally this is from it being served right after its required boil cook time and NOT soaking for the additional 20-30 minutes needed to soften the shells and soak up the flavor. The crawfish were extremely difficult to peel and many stuck the inside of the shells another indication that it wasn't post soaked. I asked the server to ask the kitchen if our batch had been post soaked or straight from the boiler... he came back letting me know that they told him "well it's the end of the season and that's probably why they're OFF".... this response is utterly insane to me as we eat crawfish several times a week allllllll through the season and 3 places just in last 7 days and they were easy to peel and around the same size as these. It's not the servers fault at all; he offered to bring something else but my husband was already fighting his way through the bag and after the horrible excuse from the kitchen I'm just gonna stop somewhere else on the way home. I'm not ok with wasted food or money as crawfish is a waste when it's stuck in the shells. Please post soak your crawfish as it's such an easy fix. It being June and the end of season IS NO EXCUSE Crab and shrimp 10/10 Crawfish 2/10 Service 9/10

HORRIBLE and completely INFLEXIBLE kitchen staff - speaks ZERO English (or conveniently PRETENDS not to ...) and unable to communicate and understand the front of house service staff ... We called and wanted to make a VERY SIMPLE request to order a large SEAFOOD gumbo to go (at the OUTRAGEOUSLY overpriced cost of $9.69) ... We made a simple request to have them put the seafood on the side so we could get a full container of the liquid gumbo - and add the seafood ourselves as we desired. OTHERWISE they fill the container with so much other stuff than the liquid, we get home with almost zero gumbo liquid ... and this has happened on MULTIPLE occasions!!! ... ... which wouldn't be such an issue ... IF ... they only included SEAFOOD ... BUT!!! ... They fill the container with so much SAUSAGE, you hardly get any seafood ... SEE PICTURE! ... Above that, NOWHERE does it say on their menu that sausage is included ... That's FALSE ADVERTISING!!! ... We proceeded to order the large SEAFOOD gumbo and it should ONLY have SEAFOOD in it .... SHEESH!!! ... We get it home and it is filled primarily with sausage ... AGAIN ... We get there and asked to have it made the way we originally requested ... and the server goes to the kitchen and brings back a small container of just the gumbo liquid ... AND we find out the kitchen staff / owner (?) is making HER pay for the container of liquid out of her own pocket!!! WHO DOES THAT!!!??? ESPECIALLY when THEY are the ones who didn't fulfill our original request .... she quite literally had to take out her own wallet and actually pay for OUR gumbo liquid!!!... That is OUTRAGEOUS and COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! THEY are the ones who could've followed the original instructions - not her - and they have the gall to make her pay for it!!! All this to say we will NEVER return due to this level of INCOMPETENCY ... If you eat here - you've been warned! Don't waste your time or hard-earned money on this JOKE of a restaurant!!! They DO NOT deserve to even be in business with this level of incompetency and complete DISREGARD for their customers! Also see copy of receipt for validity of our complaint...

The crawfish had a nice spicy kick and plenty of seasoning, with enough heat to keep things interesting without being overwhelming. Definitely the reason to come here.

We had about 6 pc of corn, and 12 potatoes. Two of us ate twice with even more leftover. They do not take tap to pay, need the physical card and they have daily specials that might have been better than menu prices. Check the daily specials before ordering. The place was empty on sat afternoon. Not sure why it's not crowded, it's a nice place. I used the restroom while I waited.

While everything was edible, the only item that really stood out was the sauce. it was flavorful and definitely the best part of the meal. Unfortunately, the food itself didn't live up to the hype or the Instagram photos. The portions and flavor just didn't justify the price, and we left feeling disappointed. If you're considering trying it, I'd honestly recommend saving your money and making something similar at home. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't what we were expecting.

The batter was light, crispy, and perfectly salted. The fried seafood platter was very lackluster. Unlike the calamari, the batter was soggy.

CITRUS HEAT CRAWFISH (medium heat): Strong kick when dipped in the juice at the bottom of the bag. Good flavor, but doesn't compare to my favorite crawfish flavor (The Mix at Crawfish Cafe). Large to medium-sized crawfish (late May). GARLIC BUTTER MUSSELS (mild heat): Really good! Large to medium-sized mussels. RAW OYSTERS: They were fine. Not bad, not particularly great. The word that came to mind was lackluster. I know they're gulf oysters, but I've had much better gulf oysters. Large to medium-sized. No small ones. Came with 1 small lemon slice and 4 small lime slices. LOBSTER BURGER: Really good! Great flavor! Good, brioche bun! Felt loaded! They didn't skimp on lobster meat. I saw a whole small claw in there! Appreciated the toothpick to keep it all together as much as possible. Would've been pretty messy without it. The FRIES were really good as well! Lightly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and well-seasoned. GUMBO: This was not very good. The rice was fully submerged under the gumbo, not on the side. The rice was also a little hard/undercooked. The meats were bland. The gumbo soup was very thin, like water (I prefer it thicker in consistency). On the bright side, the soup was flavorful.

There is no communication from any staff that the weight would be that long nor was there a conversation throughout those 50 minutes, took him about 17 minutes, just to bring us glasses of water that we just tap water put some ice in there. I feel like it can be cleaner. Never like you when there's things that need to be fixed like the door knob in the men's restroom. There's no handle on the inside. But when we did have service, it was friendly and courteous. It's not proactive. It's all reactionary. Food was delicious freshly cooked hot flavorful so give it four stars for the food. It was great, not exceptional. Service I gave a three stars because there's average got more attention after we asked why the heck he was taking so long to get the food The atmosphere I'm gonna give us three need to clean some things up.
