The food was great! The étouffée was good but very spicy! The gumbo was great. Service was awesome and helpful!
The boiled shrimp dinner was great. A little on the spicy side for me but I still enjoyed it and would order it again. Our server was perfect. Our food came out quick and accurate. Our drinks never ran dry and she checked in on us several times. Her quality customer service was appreciated. The atmosphere of the bar was what I expected. The table was clean. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. I would eat here again.
We were at this restaurant two or three times in January. We were here two or three times in May. It was always an amazing experience both for food and service. We've been reading the recent negative reviews. We are back in town and went to dinner tonight. We had the jalapeño poppers, which were stuffed with seafood and eggplant and were amazing. My husband had the Opelousas and I Lafayette . Everything was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Our server was Miss Haley and she did a fabulous job. We will be here another week and we will be back several times.
The Crawfish house is always a great restaurant! I am rarely disappointed in anything that I order. They have fantastic fried green tomatoes, and they have a few awesome pasta dishes. The service is excellent, though the wait can be a little long depending on the time and size of party. The restaurant is always clean, though it is a small place.
