      Came in with 3 people. got an order of the shrimp egg rolls, a combo #5 add dungeons crab in the Cajun sauce. It was all really good, the shrimp rolls were a really nice appetizer. The combo was also excellent, I don't love crawfish but the shrimp and the crab was delicious. The sauce was awesome and the corn was maybe my favorite thing. Overall expensive but would recommend if you like a boil type meal with gloves and a bib! Fed 3 people perfectly.

      Evening out with my son. This place offers variety on the menu. The customer service is basically just to get the order and serve you. They keep you seated on one side of the restaurant. They offer dine in or takeout. We built our boil with clams, scallops and sausage in house sauce. The sauce was perfectly seasoned. The drinks mango and strawberry are delicious. We also tried the fried seafood platter with shrimp, fish, oysters and calamari with fries.

      One of the best crawfish places i've been to! They have unlimited strawberry lemonade which was so delicious and their seafood was so tasty. I got their two pound of shrimp and a mix of crawfish, with corn and potatoes. It was so flavorful, and I really enjoyed their Cajun flavor! The service is quick and the waiters are helpful if you need anything. The environment is friendly and they have a couple of TV's you can watch as you wait for your food! A cute little apron and gloves are given, and parking is super easy and accessible!

      Restaurant is used to be called Boiling Crawfish. One of my favorite seafood restaurant. We always get their seafood combos (#1 & #4, or #6) with cajun sauce and mild spice. Their cajun sauce is very tasty and flavorful. Plenty of sauce and seafood per servings. For rice, I recommend their seafood fried rice, it's our favorite! For appetizers, I like their french fries. I do recommend trying their strawberry lemonade (free refill), it's so good and compliments well with the seafood.
      They provide gloves and bids, dry cajun seasoning, and lime on the side.
      The table is covered with white paper so that even though you make a mess, which you will, it's an easy clean up for them.
      Plenty of seatings for dine-in, however they do get pretty busy on the weekends during lunch and dinner time. If we do visit over the weekend, we go around 3-5pm and it's not as busy.

      Be prepared to use your hands! I went here with my girlfriend and her brother, at first we were nervous about the location. But after we got in, we felt good. They have a great music selection playing. The strawberry lemonade was surprisingly really good. We ordered a custom bowl with lobster, crab, snow crab, crawfish, eggs, potatoes and corn. Spent $500, but it was an awesome experience. If you want some southern dining, give this place a shot. I know I will.

      I should've read my review from four years ago. I do have to say the place was clean. The staff were courteous enough. We ordered a Lb of crawfish and fish and chips for my hubby. You get two pieces of chips. We ordered the garlic and butter for the crawfish. And still to this day nothings has flavor. No seasoning nothing. We had to ask for salt, and I don't like salty things. We gave them another try. I guess won't be back. So sad

      For someone who's never tried crawfish yet, but love seafood, I have to say I'm impressed! More so because I've heard over the years that crawfish isn't anything special but I'm so happy with my first ever experience here at Crawfish Chef!!

      From the presentation, to service, to flavors, let me tell you- my jaw dropped the entire time. Well mostly because my mouth was busy stuffing food but still, just amazing!

      Not only that but my favorite part of going to a restaurant is meeting the owners behind the fabulous dishes! I got to meet Jessica, part of a husband wife duo!

      She taught me not only the history of how Crawfish Chef came to be (previously known as Boiling Crawfish but still under same management) and she put on her gloves, sat down, & showed me first hand how to crack and eat the crawfish!

      I loved her enthusiasm, I came with two other girlfriends and one being an actual seafood chef, it was a blast! We learned all sorts of tips and tricks on how to get the crab meat beautifully in tact out of its shell, at the end I was a pro at cracking crawfish, & there's just so much to eat!

      Now one thing I'd like to point out is the chicken wings! You would think a seafood restaurant would have subpar chicken wings if they had any... right?

      WRONG! As a Korean who loves Korean Fried Chicken Wings... this was so crunchy, crispy, and just delectable! I loved it as much as the seafood!

      Before I forget, I want to mention that the house special sauce and the lemon garlic sauce are to die for! I slathered that all over my seafood before and after. It's sooooooo good!

      I've been to the Crab Pot many times.. and their sauce is meh but this lemon one? Omgsh. Stop. I need some right now.

      So what are you waiting for? Dig in!

      Check in!!

      Came with sister and her boyfriend tonight.
      She ordered strawberry lemonade (which are bottomless), we figured we should order 2 #2 (shrimp, green mussels) combos instead of adding extra lbs of shrimp etc, etc for pricing reasons so we got 1 combo mild and the other medium with the house sauce!

      Super spacious in here! I don't think I've ever had to wait in line to be seated(knock on wood) + the music choices are a hit whether you're there to chill, or in the mood and ready for good eats!!!

      The service is super sweet too! The waitresses are all super kind and efficient.

      They don't heat the restaurant. It's 54 inside here. Everyone eating has scarfs and hats on. The staff is bundled up like they are on a ski vacation. Too cheap to run the heat what else do they skimp on. Food is decent but the staff is always too busy talking to each other to give good service. Right now 3 of 5 working are on their phones ignoring everyone. If you dress for subzero temps this is the place for you. The little boy is actually shaking he is so cold and begging his parents to go home. Last. Don't call for their excuses it's the front door opening. This is not my first visit here. I complained about the temps last time and they said the heat was off. Duh. Turn it on
