    Cajun & Garlic Butter Crawfish
    Amie N.

    My family and I went to this place through the recommendation of a friend and we were not disappointed. Much appreciation towards the staff member who single handedly greeted and bussed all of the tables while taking orders both in-person and on the phone the entire time! Foodwise, we opted for 5lbs of the garlic butter & Cajun crawfish which came with 3 potatoes and 2 corns. Added 2 sausages which I personally didn't have but parents did approve. My friend also said the house sauce (WhoDat) was also very good if you like a little more lemon in your flavor. The flavor of the crawfish was spot-on, with a few odd tasting ones here and there but not enough to ruin the experience. Shells were soft and easy to crack this time in the season which allowed us to get every last bit. The only other thing we ate was the fried butterfly shrimp which was also good, I definitely want to try more of their fried foods next time around or even during off-season. Bonus points is that this place is BYOB. Location-wise, this place isn't too far from more well-known spots like LTK. Highly recommend to try this place out when you get the chance and support another local business that gives great service :)

    It's more like a 3.7 because there were negatives and positives: Positives: service was good and waitresses were polite and accommodating; fried shrimp was very good; who dat box was a lot of food and was mostly tasty. Boiled potatoes were good. You can pay with your phone. Negatives/things that could easily be improved: fried oysters were overcooked; rice was a bit mushy; gumbo was good but had to be doctored up with hot sauce, s&p; fries were just mid; onions strings were pointless; can only sub fries for rice. I thought the who dat sauce was greasy, but my husband enjoyed it, so it's a preference. The tables were a little greasy/sticky. Overall, it was typical Cajun Viet; it's not Nola Cajun, so there were many other viet dishes there as well. The prices were very reasonable, especially in this economy. I would go again for the gumbo and shrimp; we still want to try their crawfish.

    Bread that came with crawfish etouffe'
    Mike M.

    I wanted to like this place if for no other reason, its name. Unfortunately it didn't work out. My first visit was to try the shrimp po boy w/fries for about $13. Price wise, no complaints. Soft drink options here are bottled only and the food was ready in about 10 minutes. The Po boy was served on a hot dog style baguette with fried shrimp, dressed and a sauce drizzled over the shrimp. Taste wise it was a little disappointing. I didn't like the drizzled sauce taste and would have preferred real French bread. Nothing stood out on the sandwich. The fries were barely warm and the onion straws weren't good. I gave this meal a 2. I wouldn't order it again. I decided to give WhoDat another chance and returned a couple of weeks later for the crawfish etouffe for $13. Again, a reasonable price and this meal took about 15 minutes to arrive and contained 2 small slices of bread. Again, I didn't like the taste of this dish. The cream sauce in the etouffe did not appeal to me. I decided that I wouldn't order it again (2). Another negative to this restaurant is that it is a table service eatery but really should be counter service instead. The tip raises the cost of eating here and is unnecessary.

    I decided to give this place a try and I am so glad that i did. Such a hidden gem. Very reasonable price and generous amount. Taste is amazing. I will be back to try more items on the menu.

    Such an underrated place! I got 6 lbs of crawfish priced at $7.99/lb and they had a special of buy 5, get 1 free. It also came with 3 potatoes and 2 corn. The who dat sauce was delicious and the crawfish was meaty and a good size. The boudin balls were also super good. The restaurant itself is super clean and service was great. I'll definitely be coming back!

    5 pounds crawfish with garlic butter/cajun sauce
    Matt B.

    Well, shit. Went back in to grab some more of that tasty crawfish we enjoyed on our last visit. Apparently, they stopped making the good stuff and replaced it with some that was either frozen or previously cooked. No amount of spice, butter, and garlic can mask the stale flavor and spongy texture of old crawfish. I apologize to any of you who were led astray by my previous review.

    Food was made fresh and served hot. They were very attentive. Food was tasty. I like that they peeled the shrimp. Generous portions. If the potatoes were smaller, I think the seasoning would have penetrated throughout the potato more. Who Dat sauce was yummy.

    Sausage red beans and rice
    Bryan V.

    Always nice to see more Viet Cajun restaurants open up on this side of town. They had a nice buy 5 lbs of crawfish and get 1 free special going on so I opted for that. They have three flavors for crawfish but you can actually mix two of them, so I tried the Cajun + garlic butter combo. I also sampled their house "WhoDat" sauce and I thought that was delicious! It's like a combination of lemon pepper and garlic butter, and I wish I had gone with that sauce option instead. The Cajun garlic butter was still good though. The crawfish was cooked well and a decent size. I wish the potatoes and corn were mixed in with crawfish though instead of being served on the side. The fried catfish here is also quite flavorful and moist. On a separate occasion, I tried their sausage, red beans, and rice, and I enjoyed that as well. Very delicious Cajun flavors. My only critic is that I wish they used an actual plate/bowl for the rice instead of a takeout box, seems a bit wasteful. Overall, I definitely need to come back and try their seafood with their signature house sauce!

    The big who dat box and crawfish is super good and super fire!! Delicious!! The flavors a through the roof!! The staff is super nice
    Krystle J.

    The food is absolutely amazing!!! The loaded who day box is out of this world and the crawfish and crabs are super good!! The boy cashier is awesome as well!! I highly recommend this seafood place 10/10

    Although it does have order at the counter service with available tables, I recommend it for quick, quality carry-out at affordable prices.

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.

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

Bottom line: just try it at least once! They know what they're doing here. It's no wonder this place is poppin!! Next time I'm back, I'll try to make another stop so I can get my own bag of crawfish. I played it safe this visit and got the Crawfish Etouffee, lol. I was lazy to peel them, so this fit the bill for me that day. We all liked what we ordered, but I was traumatized from my first experience with crawfish from a seafood boil I went to a few years back. Crawfish Cafe renewed my faith, and I am now a believer!!
