If you are looking for some delicious seafood this is the place to be! The Mardi Gras Oysters are definitely a fan favorite and don't forget to try the Shrimp Poboy ! Read more

Allen Arcade

Their po-boys are great. They've got about a dozen+ variety of them. Here's the boudin po-boy. Yum.

Fellow Houstonians, Crawfish season is late March until end of July for the tastiest mud bugs ! Came tonight, they will get some more in November. So hold on tight! Meanwhile enjoy an Abita !

Julie Minerbo

Great food, but a bit pricey ! Love the crawfish , Shrimp/Oyster Po Boys , Hush Puppies . Fave Cajun restaurant in town !

Dave Turnbull

Order the crawfish in a bucket. Portions are large. Come during season as its a bit pricy

Nichole Moore

The BBQ Crab are seasonal and so worth it! Both for the price ($17.00) amount of food and deliciousness.

Michael Eyre

Oh my goodness. Could not live without Luke Mandola's place. The patio is awesome at the Westheimer location. Top catering outfit. Sweet for private parties. Bar is hopping too.

Best cajun crawfish in houston . You must order corn bread and fries with crawfish

Billy D.

Best Gumbo I have had in Houston, without a doubt! If you like oysters , the oyster poboy is fantastic!

Suzanne Verneuil

Their food was very good. The red beans were too spicy for me. I will definitely be going back soon.

Cl Frith

First time for crawfish , and enjoyed them, they have two sides fine dining and casual . Great place.

Ron Foster

Crawfish is to die for. Just the right kick. Poboys are delicious too - Any of them!

Suzanne Chebret

Forget all the other po-boys go oyster ! It's awesome... also they run a groupon deal once a year totally worth it!

Nuclear Cowboyz

My cousin took me here to try Crawfish . I was impressed with the whole experience and food. Plus you don't need utensils and you can eat like a caveman. -Dustin Miller, Nuclear Cowboyz

Allen Arcade

Jalapeño cornbread is good. Just doesn't have the kick you'd expect from something with "jalape ño" in the title.

Jenn

Crawfish is a tad expensive here. You'd expect it to be less expensive and better because it's what they specialize in. $7.99 for a pound of crawfish , plus 1.50 for corn and potatoes .

Emily Larimore

I highly recommend the grilled Cajun chicken sandwhich , extra spicy-- YUMM!!

Kimmy Neygn

The counter guys are awesome. Blake is always smiling and friendly . Best crawfish in town !!!

Derrick Coy

Boiled sea food (crab , shrimp , crawfish ,) and beer .

Annette Williams

The food was absolutely horrible! The crab cakes were the worst crab cakes I've ever had and the catfish was bad too. I went to this restaurant with high expectations and was throughly let down.

Mahnaz Madjidi

We go there often. Barbecue shrimp appetizer was wonderful

Julie Minerbo

Shrimp & oyster Po boy & Hush puppies are delicious!

Rasheed Warsame

They practice blast fishing , so you may taste the nitrate residuals that have been infused into the seafood .. Other than that.... A-1

eRiC rOd

Good crawfish , but tend to run out of crawfish fast !!

Karam Chahal

If you are going to order a frozen hurricane, jazz it up and order a "secret weapon"

Aigul Urazbekova
