Atchafalaya Crawfish

Ordered 5lb crawfish, potatoes, corn and pound of shrimp. Everything was very bland in my opinion. The price is a little bit cheaper but you are also getting very mediocre flavor and small crawfish. I do not see how it’s 5 stars worthy. I would rather go to a restaurant pay a little more and get more flavor and bigger crawfish. The food was also just warm not hot. Don’t think I will return. Shrimp wasn’t as bad as crawfish. Just wish it was hotter in temperature and more flavorful.

Hands down amazing crawfish. No crawfish tossed in a sauce. None of that extra stuff at these other spot. You can smell the seasoning when they are boiling the crawfish. Authentic flavor, spice level just right. Corn, potato and sausage were all amazing. My new spot because I've been searching for true Louisiana crawfish.

Great prices! I bought more than enough since it was such a low cost. Delicious seasonings. We were quickly waited on and got our food fast. Thank you again for a wonderful experience.

Our family favorite and we are so lucky to live close by. Excellent crawfish, cooked perfectly, packaged fresh. Pro tip, bring your cooler so the mud bugs stay warmer for a longer time. They also have shrimp, sausage links, corn, potato that you can buy separately. The only thing is, the seasoning is a little saltier than we like. Next time we do a big order, I'll probably ask them to see if they can cut the salt down a little bit. But throw some potatoes or something to balance it out and you're fine.

I come here at least once every two weeks during crawfish season. Never disappoints. The crawfish is boiled and soaked, full of flavor. I recommend.

Been coming here for years! Best Louisiana style crawfish. I had a few big ones the last time I went.

We were recommended this crawfish by a family friend who is from and lives in New Orleans. My husband is from New Orleans so we are always looking for places in houston that my husband approves of. We called ahead of time to see how it works as we weren’t sure if you could dine in. The guy that answered the phone carried a tone that was not welcoming and seemed like he wanted to get off the phone with us even though we only asked a couple of questions. We arrived and the lady taking orders said there was a wait for the crawfish. I said “what’s the wait?” And she rudely responded “well the crawfish is soaking” (rude tone). I said, that’s not what I asked…she ultimately responded to my question. Meanwhile, another car drives in the wrong way according to her and she stops servicing us to basically talk to herself about the guy pulling in saying “you can’t pull in that way turn around turn around you can’t do that someone needs to tell him he needs to come in the right way, I don’t have a problem with telling him” and is going on all while leaning on our car with her arm on our door. I just look at my husband like wtf is wrong with these people. Wait was 20 minutes so we decided to wait? The lady who brought our food was very nice. The crawfish was NOT GOOD. Pretty flavorless, no juice so forget sucking the heads and rubbery suggesting it is overcooked. The potatoes had no flavor. The only positives were most of them were decent size however not great if they don’t have flavor and the corn was actually very good and spicy. Overall, would not recommend and we will not be giving them a second chance

This is the most consistent crawfish spot in town. Every time I purchase from them it’s just like the last time. The flavor/seasoning is mild/perfect. It’s not spicy but it has a LITTLE kick! They have some really good sausage as well! Customer service is great and they serve you pretty quickly! I highly recommend!

Yes, I have been waiting in line for an hour!! This is the Tuesday & Wednesday Special pricing day and you can tell by my patience to wait in line....it's worth it!! They come to your car to take your order so you don't have to get out!! If you are looking for authentic New Orleans crawfish, you better come on by this place!

OMGOODNESS this place reminds me so much of the goodness of crawfish from Baton Rouge. If you want crawfish boiled right, come drive up on site!

Everything is amazing I can't wait to crawfish season and their sautéed mushrooms. I've been a customer for some years now so

Huge size crawfish! No fuss service and taste amazing! Driving through is so convenient.

If you liked traditional crawfish.... This is the place ... good ole Cajun Crawfish... it is soo good! And the service is l superb

Been wanting to try this place bc a lot Of ppl spoke highly about their crawfish went yesterday waited and hour and a half! The crawfish was a mixture of live and frozen crawfish next morning my whole household was on the toilet don't know what you guys put in my batch but my whole house is sick!

Pre-ordered 15# of live crawfish for Easter weekend. We arrived a few minutes before our scheduled pick up time, but the staff was happy to fill our order. The crawfish were a good size and clean, making the pre-boil process that much easier. Would definitely recommend Atchafalaya Crawfish and will certainly use them in the future.

Well i gave them 4 stars a few days ago based on the crawfish i had last year. Sorry to say that we were very disappointed with the crawfish we got yesterday. First let me say that I have been eating crawfish for 40+ years. I have cooked hundreds of pounds and have eaten many others as well. I know good crawfish. They should be tender,come out of the shell easily and the meat should not be mushy and brownish ,but firm and light colored. They should not be overly salted or overly spiced. Too many times the cook adds so much salt based seasoning that you can't taste the flavor of the meat and then you have to take a blood pressure pill. Lol. Unfortunately a lot of people have never had top notch Crawfish so there will be many objections to my review. Hopefully Atachfalaya will bring back the cooking standards of prior years. Thank you

Great food and service.Quick and easy to pick up an order of Crayfish or Shrimp. Decent prices and very friendly staff

Always perfectly seasoned and cooked. Been coming here since they opened. Satisfies my crawfish craving since I moved out of Louisiana

The crawfish taste like none other in Houston. They are absolutely delicious. Kudos to the cook. They have a very efficient and well oiled machine, in terms of service. All you have to do is drive up in your vehicle: give them your menu choices and within minutes your order is out and ready to be paid for. I say is the food is absolutely delicious.

Great flavor and great sized crawfish and shrimp, will be my go to from now on ! Way better than places like LA crawfish !

I can't wait until this place opens. The best crawfish in Pearland, and the service here is always excellent.

Their crawfish is the best I've had in Texas. They also have great prices and service !!!

Amazing crawfish. Big and great size and one of the more affordable than most places. Also real crawfish from Louisiana made by Louisiana people that even one of my best friends drives all the way from galleria over here just to get it and only eats their crawfish and she's from New Orleans!!! Can't wait to go back soon!!!

I went based on the great reviews. I got there and there were four cars ahead of me. It took about 20 minutes for me to get to the front of the line. When I got there, they ran out of food and told me it'll be about 25-30 minutes for my 10lbs of crawfish, corn, and potatoes. I waited 40 minutes before they brought it out. This was by far the worst crawfish I had ever had. They smelled horrible, like fish & sewage combined, but heavy on the sewage. They were dirty, flavorless, & dry. I do not recommend at all. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but it was so disappointing that I am not willing to give them a second chance. Horrible crawfish.

I wanted to love this place, and honestly I think I would if the crawfish were a little cleaner. I went for the first time today and there were two cars ahead of me. They ran out and had to boil more, which nbd. I happily waited and the lady out front taking orders was so nice and friendly. Prices were super reasonable. I got home, they smelled heavily of clove but the reviews are pretty good. I got 3 pounds of crawfish, a mixed bag of corn and potatoes, and 1 sausage link. The corn was super overdone. The crawfish that I could eat were so good. Seasoning was great, would like a little more burn but overall the boil flavor was excellent. Unfortunately too many of the crawfish were so caked in dirt I couldn't make myself eat them. Maybe because the line was starting to grow and they were rushing to get product out, I don't know. The ones I did eat were so good but I'll probably hesitate to go back just for the muddy bugs . We'll see.

The best crawfish I have ever had. Very big crawfish and good prices. They don't disappoint.

So fresh they slept in the mud last night. Cajuns living east of the Sabine know this is the place to go for live and boiled crawfish.

Are they opened for the 2023 season yet? We absolutely LOVE this place for Louisiana style crawfish!

The owners are absolutely wonderful. Very pleasant to speak with!! I'm addicted to ordering a 1/2 pound of their shrimp for lunch at least twice a week.

What do you do when a gas station goes out of business... Buy it and sell some delicious crawfish! That's what atchfalaya means to me. Lol Seriously, I pulled up to this lil gem and was thinkin "I don't want no window mudbugs" but im so glad my curiosity won. The flavor was good, the size was decent and my only complaint is that my mixed bag had overcooked corn. I'll definitely return!

Best tasting crawfish!!! I love them they are quick to get my food as well. Best part there is a drive through. It does have a kick to it so maybe some limes or lemons would be nice.

Love the flavor n style of their crawfish. It's so good n spiced very well. It's also only $4 for 1/2 lb.

Perfectly seasoned, just the right amount of spice, and the bugs are sizeable this season. There isn't a ton of parking here, but you'll figure it out for this. It's worth it. We got here on a Saturday afternoon and there was a 10 minute line. We got 6 lbs cooked, but next time, I'd be very tempted to go for a sack. They did run out of potatoes and corn, and only had the mixed bags which are a little expensive. We managed to get the food home still hot and couldn't wait to dig in. Prices for the cooked crawfish are really reasonable, comparable with HEB. This is a must if you're looking to do a small boil without all the effort.

Best crawfish stop in the area. The shop is easy to miss. Well worth the trek out there.

I got extremely bad food poisoning from this place on 6/1. I called to let them know and all they said was "sorry about that." I'm super disappointed and will be letting people know about my experience.

Tastes great! Can't wait until the bugs are even bigger! Perfect spice--not too hot but very flavorful! I'll be back!

Crawfish is alright, lacked more seasoning..shrimp was overcooked and expensive and not seasoned. Was not impressed this place could do better.

Yes! They're a real treat! They have everything so organized. The only way you'll find yourself waiting is that they have run out. It's worth the wait. The young lady that runs the distribution and the money is a hoot! She made the wait worth it.

This is my go to for crawfish! Also I have my extended family hooked! Although I no longer live in Pearland anymore I will drive to go get this crawfish! This is the closest to what you will get in Nola! The family is from Louisiana so they definitely know what they are doing! Prices are great and they've now extended their times so you have enough time to get some good mud bugs. I would also recommend the sausage, if you grew up like I did it makes you wanna grab a slice of white bread and Mayo and make a sausage sandwich! I would try to make sure you go at a good time line can get long fast but they have pretty fast service. Crawfish is always hot!

Fantastic crawfish at a good price. Always nice size, not overcooked, easy to peel. Very convenient drive-thru service!

Atchafalaya Crawfish = deliciousness! Great crawfish, just the way I like it and I'm sure you will too!

Yo this was the first time coming here and I'll be back!!! I went at 9:15a.m just to see where it was and they were open serving live crawfish, the chick that took my order was so nice

As a transplanted Cajun, I cannot recommend this place. My wife and I were craving some crawfish but I could not justify pulling out all the equipment to boil ~10lbs for the two of us. Based on the reviews for places near us, we decided to try Atchafalaya Crawfish. We didn't know that we'd come to regret it. The Good - Crawfish are medium to large in size - Only 1-2 toss outs in the whole 10 lbs - Tails and claws pulled out easy - Fast and easy service - No line The Bad - The Salt Normally, I wouldn't give a place two stars for only 1 negative reason; however, the amount of salt used to boil these crawfish was unbearable. It tasted as if the cook dumped a whole container of salt to purge the crawfish and then dumped another into the pot to cook them. We could barely taste any spice over the salt. We will NOT be returning for their boiled crawfish. We may grab some live crawfish later as the quality of the crawfish they serve looked good.

One of the best place to pick up crawfish when in season! Great prices and service, also very quick line!

Yikes!!! Long overdue! I must have written a review under the previous name because there is no way I would let the people of Pearland,Friendswood, Houston South wander around seeking Amazing crawfish unguided!! If you want real boiled seafood this is the spot!!! Nope, no honey bbq, lemon pepper, garlic butter or whatever flavor of wing styled crawfish I have seen offered are other places... this is true authentic bayou boiled zatarains seasoned perfectly spiced boiled seafood, right amount of salt to seasoning ratio!!! I wish the price would reduce soon because the supply is plentiful so I'm unsure why were still paying $5.59/lb :-( But it hasn't deterred me from making the drive or telling everyone I know how great the seafood is here

Made the drive to Pearland for this place and overall it was alright. I liked that the price was $4.99 per pound (they also have specials during the week, I noticed) and the staff member who took my order was polite and friendly. I didn't like how a number of the crawfish were really small; I did get a couple of big ones, but there were still a number of small ones. Also, when I got home less than ten minutes later the crawfish were cold (maybe they were when I left, as well?). All in all I'm glad I got to try this place, and the price was fair, but I think I'll try other crawfish places going forward.

Crawfish are clean, great taste, large easy in and out in the drive thru. Would definitely recommend.

Crawfish had great flavor but not juicy, they didn't let the crawfish soak. The potatoes and corn had no seasonings. They tasted as if they were boiled in plain water instead of the crawfish boil water.

I was in town for a week and this is my go to place for ALWAYS GREAT CRAWFISH!!!!!!!!!!! I tried another place and it was not even close. I wont say their name. If you want good seasoned crawfish take the time make the drive. It is more than worth it!!!!!!!!!! Also they were a $1 cheaper a pound and oh my God SO SO SO SO MUCH BETTER.

The crawfish are large, purged and the staff are very friendly.Good location and hours

Just picked them up and had one in the vehicle! Im from a little town in Louisiana and im so excited that these are MOST DEFINITELY AUTHENTIC!! Cant wait to get home and enjoy. #NewFave **update** THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!

I came here before and I love there crawfish! But today I had a bad experience. Crawfish was not clean at all! Mostly all my crawfish was filled with mud . And it was dry no juice.. it wasn't even spicy .. very disappointed

THE BEST CRAWFISH I HAVE HAD IN TEXAS!!!!! I was born and raised in New Orleans. Needless to say, i love my crawfish. I can eat 10 lbs. by myself. And I am not ashamed! This place reminds me of the crawfish back home. Seasoned just right, none of the gunky seasoning that is on the outside of the shells like every other place. It has the perfect amount of spice and i didnt find it salty like others said. Maybe it was just the day they had it? Who knows. I will def be back for plenty more. I also got there right when they opened so they were just fresh right out the boiler. Can't go wrong with that. 5.99/lb when i went.

Always soo good and flavorful. The price is great. The potatoes and corn are always on point with seasoning and the crawfish is big and juicy, seasoned perfectly. This is my go-to spot for crawfish.

The best Louisiana style boiled crawfish in Texas. I'm from Louisiana and moved to Texas a year ago. I ate here three times a week or more last crawfish season. I drive by often and call to see if they are open yet. Come on Atchafalaya Crawfish...I need my fix.

Great price on live crawfish. We had to wait in line for a bit, but the weather was great and the price was worth the wait.

I have to give this business 1 star due to the crawfish. I haven't been here for a couple of seasons. . But what made me stop today is because I was in the area, and I remember the last time I had them .. I had to pull over and eat them because they were so good. So today I ordered 3 lbs and potatoes. Fishy taste w no seasoning. I believe that they may be under new management. 3 lbs with 5 potatoes was almost $30. I don't mind paying for crawfish .. but they need to be edible for that price. I took them home to try and add seasoning .. before giving up and throwing them away. I didn't notice that the reviews were from over 8 months ago which makes me believe they are under new management.
