The 7 Best Crawfish Restaurants In Austin

"Stepping into Catfish Parlour on Ben White (near Burleson Road) feels a little like stepping into an old diner in a small fishing town in rural Louisiana. It’s been around for almost 50 years—in that time amassing a small collection of old license plates, neon beer signs, and “I’d rather be fishing” wood mounts. And once crawfish season rolls around, we’re stopping in for a couple pounds. These have a pretty classic Cajun flavor profile, but get tossed in a heavy dusting of additional seasoning at the end that’ll leave your fingers feeling spicy for the rest of the day.

So I ordered through Uber eats. I did a pick up order and there was a promo for buy one get one free on the all American plate combo which was amazing. I got four plates for 33 bucks. The food was delicious. I got two spicy catfish plates w popcorn shrimp and 3 sides and two original plates. The catfish was really good. As was the popcorn shrimp. Cooked perfectly. Our sides were hush puppies, fries, green beans and bacon, Black Eyed Peas and coleslaw. The coleslaw had a different taste more of a vinegar salad, but that was also Good and their sauces are incredible. The atmosphere was very family and friendly very welcoming. Maybe next time we eat there we’ll dine in and the staff were awesome. Very friendly and welcoming.

Pricey for the amount of food. Mac n cheese could’ve been more seasoned. Loved that they gave us free hush puppy sticks though. The bread pudding was my favorite item. Great service and homey atmosphere.

Came here for lunch with a co-worker. I've always wanted to check this place out. The menu they have is incredibly confusing. Chef Ramsey would have a heart attack. The server was very demanding on what we wanted to order. I was seriously confused by that menu and everything says dinner. I finally just said country fried steak hoping they had it. They did. Our waitress was attentive took our orders and brought us hush puppies. They were actually pretty good. Never tried them before. No lie the country fried steak had a good presentation but it was crap. So chewy couldn't even swallow it. Terrible. Overall a real gross experience. Some place out of the 80's. Lol, doubt I'll ever return there.

I would've given this place a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the rude security guard at the entrance. Food was superb.... everything was delicious. Service would've gotten 5 stars but waitress forgot my appetizers. Super friendly and fast service tho. Atmosphere was okay

This review will speak for those from Louisiana/Mississippi. My fiancé and I are from the hearts of seafood so we walked in with high expectations, naturally. We tried the crawfish because why not, let’s see what’s up! It was so boring. The crawfish are boiled in water that is NOT seasoned. Only the outside of the crawfish were seasoned. While the outside of the crawfish was flavorful, I shouldn’t have to put the whole crawfish in my mouth for some flavor. To add, it was $12 a pound! The catfish was good! Wasn’t the best but definitely normal flavoring for fried catfish! My fiance says his side of fried okra was one of the best he’s ever had. My mashed potatoes and gravy and Mac and cheese lacked flavor. The portion sizes for sides are literally an ice cream scooper size. This place was really busy, and we couldn’t and still don’t see why.

The food here is good. We ate here 2/23/25. My wife had a catfish dinner. She liked it. I was fished out, so I had a cheeseburger and fries. On point. IMO, the vinaigrette coleslaw is better than the creamy. We would eat here again. We were stuffed so did not try the desserts, which was too bad because they have homemade cobblers. Next time.

Been coming to South location for 40+ years, since the old building. Sunday was my 58th Birthday, so we went to get the fried catfish! I got the Big Cat Plate, and my GOODNESS! Was so light and fluffy and tender doesn't even apply here - way more tender than tender :) Flavor AWESOME!, breading wasn't over corn-mealy, just light and delicious, and everything else we got was great, too. Alex was our Server and was on the spot and had our food out quickly. Best Catfish Plate I've ever had - bar none! Heavenly Catfish :) :) Thank you! Of course we'll be back.
