The Best of Houston’s 2025 Crawfish Season Is Still to Come | Eater Houston

"Jared Politz, owner of a Louisiana crawfish distributor that delivers to seven states across the South, highlights Houston’s outsized appetite: “It would not shock me if the Houston metropolitan area gobbled up more crawfish than the state of Louisiana.” He is optimistic about the season: “It’s going to be a good one,” and says, “Crawfish will be back in the wheelhouse of where it needs to be for the industry to do well.” Politz describes typical harvesting timing (often starting in January when waters warm and crawfish mature), notes that he’ll send a small crew out to determine when substantial deliveries can begin, and warns that pricing and launch timing will become clearer soon: “It’s going to be telling over the next couple of weeks where the industry is going to launch in terms of pricing.” He also advocates for industry restraint: “I wish people were a little more patient. I wish the industry would be a little more disciplined. There’s always someone who wants to chase the dollar and buy the loyalty of a retail customer.”" - Brittany Britto Garley

The Best Crawfish In Houston

"Eating at Juicy Crawfish in the Third Ward means being OK with getting your hands dirty. At this Cajun-Creole spot, expect to be sucking crawfish heads in a restaurant decorated to look like the inside of a fishing trap. The “table cloths” are white construction paper ripped from a roll on the wall. The walls are also lined with messages from customers written in Sharpie. When it comes to the crawfish served here, the best way to get them is with the “Juicy Special” seasoning (a combination of the lemon pepper, garlic butter, and original flavors) and as spicy as you can stand them." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

Yet Another Purveyor of Spicy, Buttery Crawfish Hits Houston Next Year - Eater Houston

"Juicy Crawfish just inked a new deal to bring its crustaceans and fried foods to a sprawling retail hub near Texas Medical Center. The Texas-born crawfish purveyor hails from College Station, where it currently operates two locations. Its latest 4,400-square-foot site at Renaissance Center is scheduled to arrive early next year at 6102 Scott Street. Along with its seasonal namesake crustacean, Juicy Crawfish serves lobster tail, green mussels, and oysters, doused with lemon pepper or garlic butter seasonings and spice levels that peak at XXX (“Can’t Feel My Mouth”). Offerings also include Cajun wings, fried seafood baskets, and chicken tenders. The restaurant’s surf-and-turf combo deal at existing locations includes half-pound helpings of snow crab leg, shrimp, crawfish, and sausage, alongside three pieces of potatoes and one ear of corn ($31.99). And from noon to 5 p.m. on weekdays this summer, beers are ridiculously cheap ($1). Juicy Crawfish is set to make its debut in March 2020. Stay tuned for an official opening date." - Tierney Plumb

Food was fresh and crispy. The water had a great taste. The parking lot was a bit crowded like a hang out spot. Overall recommend.

Quiet restaurant, food was mediocre. Appeared to be limited on staff. Though it was not busy there were only 2 on front line. You seat yourself but I stood in line to ask because I did not know. Even though I had a boil bag I would of liked a fork but was not given any utensils and never saw the server again after she brought our food. Had to walk to the register to get to go boxes, refills and check out.

Every time I come here, the food is quality, really good taste, and decent pricing. The service is top tier, each and every time I come! I get to-go, and the individuals at the register are so kind and friendly. We don’t experience a lot of friendliness nowadays; I’m grateful for the service every time I’m here.

Food was delicious,you don't get a lot for the money,but I really liked this place! Staff was amazing and helpful, (I believe my waiter's name was Nick) I couldn't have gotten a better waiter, he was off the chain! The beignets are delicious 🤤😋 and so hot when they bring them out, reminded me of Louisiana! I highly recommend going there if you're in the area or wanting some seafood.

On the juicy special the food was ok but the crawfish was very small

We love Juicy! Our go-to order is the shrimp with no head, medium cajun spice and the fried fish basket. It is always so tasty with just the right amount of spice. We also love the waiter named Nick because he is always so welcoming and friendly. They do not offer ice tea and they have Pepsi products, so I just get their pink lemonade. Overall this place is a favorite of ours and we will keep coming back!

Food was mediocre. Service was lacking. Place was essentially empty with only 2 other tables were seated. Had to flag down the Server to get refills on our drinks. Based on our experience, I would recommend going somewhere else.

Definitely order online & not DoorDash. I didn’t realize the huge price difference till after. The food was good! However the shrimp can be a bit mushy.

The crawfish were good. We got the 5lb special. PJ is amazing. A sweet accommodating young man. The women's bathroom is NASTY. It's giving truck stop. Clean the walls, sinks, floors, and toilets. Had I saw this before ordering I wouldn't have eaten here. I attempted to talk to the Asian man at the counter whom I assume was the boss/owner. Very dismissive, not engaging at all. Apparently this is how he is on a regular. Sad. Anywho, if you can get past the nasty bathroom and attitude, the crawfish were fresh and seasoned very well.

First off it's kinda dark in this location. Not sure if all the lights were on but yea. No greeting at all. Just a "Are you dinning in or carrying? I decided to dine in but due to being the only customer I decided on just one pound of 9.99 crawfish with one order of two hard boiled eggs. Total was $17 with a Dr. Pepper. I wasn't a fan of the crawfish because it didn't have any flavor. I had to literally scape the oils and garlic from the bottom of the bag. It's was between medium and large size. They also bring a little cup of garlic butter. Crawfish were fresh but flavorless. I assume they put the sauce on after the bugs are cooked.

The customer service here is not great. The staff is alright in attitude but lack basic service training. I ordered take out, and when I called it in they said the order would take 7 minutes. This location will not start preparing your order until you arrive and pay. I come in ten minutes after calling and AFTER I paid the clerk tells me that it's gonna be "very long wait" she however can not tell me how long that wait is. We ask another employee about the wait and they said it's going to be anywhere between 10 minutes to over an hour. Huh!?! Additionally I asked her to go ask someone in the kitchen on wait time to see if I could leave and come back. She went to the kitchen and came back out and purposefully avoided. All for the food to end up being mediocre.

The green mussels are a pretty good size. In general they are bigger than black mussels. At about $14/lb, and a pound gives you about 12 mussels. I added potatoes and corn to my order. One order of potatoes comes with 3. Definitely go with the Juicy Special sauce; which is a combination of all the sauces. It gives them great flavor! However, the sauce is a tad bit oily.

Fresh crawfish but it lacked any sorts of flavor. It was extremely bland without any kick at all. It took an extremely long time to get our order as well. Not a restaurant that I'd return to.

Service was sloooow. We were the only people in the place. Two workers ion the front at the time. The young lady was brushing her hair. When we asked on the young man never said a word. After about 3-4 minutes he finally pooped up from behind the register. We had a party of 10. But like I said we were the o my people in the place for a long time. BTW waiting an hour for young man to separate the checks. Food wasn't good. Visited on Sunday 9/15 at 2:00.

I really enjoyed the food and service. I got the crab legs, sausage, and shrimp. It was so yummy! I will be coming back if I'm in the area. The only downside was the neighborhood, there was homeless man sleeping near the entrance of the restaurant which did discouraged me a bit, but I'm glad I gave it a chance.

If you are going to charge an arm and leg for your specials at least ensure you give people what they pay for! Crawfish were TINY and I'm pretty sure i didn't get close to what I paid for! Avoid this spot and go elsewhere!!

Kelly N.

Yelp
Ordered crawfish and made sure to ask if it was frozen or fresh. They said it was fresh.. I open the bag and it tastes like frozen crawfish.. I know it's early in the season but be honest about your supply. I didn't even finish the crawfish.

Had to come back again for their AMAZING fish baskets. The service was once again GREAT. The place here was decorated very nicely for the spooky month. I tried the Juicy Fried Rice for the first time, and I highly recommend it. Love this place.

I've been coming to this place for a long time. However, when the season start, they tend to add frozen crawfish to your live crawfish so be careful.

Had the snow crabs with broccoli, great idea sausage, and corn. Was good needed more garlic to be great but that is my opinion. Will return.

Kay D.

Yelp
I got the crawfish it was A decent size and ok. Not the best but definitely not the worst I've had. I've been here 3 times now, first time the craw fish was so small and very clearly not fresh. Second time was really good. This time was like I already said. Decent. Service was slow and she never asked me if I wanted A refill and brought my check before asking if I wanted anything else. Honestly the only REAL complaint I have though is the bathroom. They are HORRIBLE. Smells like sewage when you walk in, have to hold your breath, bath toilets were clogged with pee all over the seats. The sinks were covered with red chunks and toilet paper all over the ground. I almost went to the men's instead but just chose to hold it until I could get somewhere else; they were literally THAT bad.

Awesome wings, ranch dressing is Devine. More to follow. Very spacious. Nice DJ too on Saturdays, so put in your request. Dancing is allowed. Self seating. Staff is super, extra professional. They have that downhome southern hospitality. We had a blast with all family there. Best seafood boil I've had ever.

Miss J.

Yelp
Another place that does not boil the seafood in flavor but dumps heavy bland seasoning mixes on top. I ordered 1 pound of snow crab and 1 pound of crawfish from Uber eats today, and spent about $55 before tip etc for some of the worst seafood I have ever had. The crawfish was not only bland but tasted frozen and very hard to peel! Crab legs are super easy to infuse flavor into and these were bland as well! The seasoning mix they had on it was supposed to be garlic butter but it just tasted like paprika and oil! NEVER AGAIN! If you love seafood this is NOT the place for you.

I love Juicy Crawfish. My order usually consist of 2lbs of lemon pepper mild with three potatoes and two eggs. Recently I've been adding Beignets to my order. I also noticed gumbo on the menu . The more I order from Juicy, I try new entrees but I become a regular with crawfish every Sunday . The customer service is always pleasant. Even on crawfish off season, it's still good and Juicy. During their off season, I do remind them to allow my crawfish to soak in the seasoning. I've experienced one bad batch and immediately called them with my concern. I remembered it was not crawfish season. In other words, the crawfish was frozen . The manager empathized and gave me a new batch and it was still Juicy

I gave a 2 star because our waitress was very nice and the crab legs was good. BUT let me tell y'all it was a young woman who brought her dog in this restaurant and come to find out she was the sister of the waitress . The girl had her dog all in the kitchen and by the area of the fountain drinks. We recorded this mess and will be calling the Houston Health Department tomorrow. Very unsanitary and the waitress told us dogs are allowed. Oh really? They allowed in the back and by the drinks you serve us? Will never be back and don't recommend none of y'all spending ya money there. My throat scratching now. Let me go. This the dog Chico from Next Friday

Welcoming and friendly staff. BYOB if want a beer with your crawfish. Luckily, CVS is around the corner and it was after the hour Sunday to purchase. Crawfish were a little small, but the taste and flavor made up for it. This eatery is in a shopping strip so plenty of parking. Many ways to have your crawfish soaked in. Well done.

The food was reasonably priced for 4 shrimp and 3 pieces of fish. The guy said 10 minutes and it was pretty much. The fries were straight type with seasoning on them. They were okay but I would have preferred crinkle. The seafood looked fresh, and batter was a light golden brown as if it was cooked in fresh grease. I would order again but pick a different side.

They have good live crawfish, decent sized and the juicy flavor is always a win. The clams and green mussels are also very good and well cooked. This is a pretty decent place to grab food and it doesn't take too long

Crawfish was pretty big, flavor was delicious. I got the house blend medium and it wasnt too spicy i'll get hot next time i like for my mouth to burn. Gumbo is thick and unflavorful, I won't order again. Overall, I'll be back for crawfish only

theee best crawfish and service in houston hands down! so glad we found you!

Yelp
Was on this side of town and wanted some juicy tasty crawfish. This place was reviewed as a great place but I struggled to agree with the previous reviews. The crawfish were horrendous. They don't season their water before boiling their seafood, they dump a bunch of seasoning on top of the seafood in the bag and there's extremely too much butter in their water because that's all you can taste. We also ordered the spicy and it was missing all of the spice along with flavor. So I'll say the food was SOMETHING but it wasn't IT at all. ‍

imagine eating your food and there is a big ass strand of hair in your meal and they make you pay half. Thats this place. The food was mid and they are unhygienic. Don't eat here.

Ernesto C.

Yelp
It's a great place. However, the portion size isn't what is expected. The price you pay is not what you get. I will say the taste of the food is good. Service is not bad at all they have great employee's. Very attentive and move quickly. The inside looks amazing. i love how you can just draw or write on everything inside. Again, it is a great place when it comes to flavor. So please give it a try.

Great food and service..Nice restaurant to eat with family..... food fresh.the juicy rice is my favorite.

Chelsea G.

Yelp
The restaurant its self was very nice and clean. My waitress was polite and attentive. But the first red flag was the fountain drinks. My friend and I had to literally switch out our drinks twice and after that we just decided to purchase a bottled drink. Then the crawfish and boiled shrimp comes out... steaming hot and fresh out the pot! A taddd bit over cooked tbh. But the main thing it was missing was some flavor!!!! It seem like they didn't use any seasoning while boiling the crawfish and shrimp, they tasted so bland. The "blend" flavor that they have is alright... I wouldn't come back.

My favorite spot and close to home. The kids and I can get a quick seafood fix on the way home from work or school. Our server TatYama was very attentive to our needs the entire visit.... very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu!

Quantina B.

If I could I would give less than one star. All of the worker are unprofessional and rude af, the food is not that good to be so expensive. Hopefully they close down soon!!!

Mid at best. Ordered a pound of head on shrimp with 1 potato and two boiled eggs. Received headless shrimp and it was only half a pound. Waiter told me "oh I'll just change it in the system. (Head on is cheaper) Sauce had no flavor, just spice. Our drinks were the last thing to come out (should be first) My husband asked for dipping sauce, after 10 minutes he had to walk up to the counter and get it himself. Waiter never came to check on us once. I had to walk up to the counter to ask for our bill ... If you like FLAVOR & good service, don't come here.

This was the nastiest crawfish I ever tasted! SERIOUSLY!!! No seasoning or flavor AT ALL. I ordered two pounds and didn't even finish it....it was literally that bad. I asked for extra seasoning on the side to try and doctor it up...that didn't work either. They also use that really cheap sausage in the boil. It tasted like hot dogs were boiled with my crawfish.

Jordan S.

Yelp
Place was great. Love the shrimp in juicy special hot!! If you like spice. The service is a little slow at times but they get the job done.

Jazi P.

The waitress was great and the food was ok. It needed more seasoning. Apparently, a coworker came in the restaurant with her dog. She sat down in a booth with it, went into the kit with it and also went to the drink area and poured herself a drink with the dog in her hand. This had to been like a 30+ pound dog. That was nasty! We had just got through finishing our food and we asked the waitress are dogs allowed in here and she says "she works here, that's my sister" the manager and other coworkers did/said nothing to her to leave, they allowed her to walk around with the dog.

The waiter took too long and there was only one! Then a homeless man came in begging me for food and cussing the waitress out. The food was great though, it gave... Don't sit by the door.

This place always seemed to have a crowd when I passed by. Today I finally slowed down enough to go in and try it. It was a lot bigger than I expected inside. Very dark though. I guess that's part of the pirate, seafood theme? I don't know but anyway. Service was quick and friendly, which is a plus. The menu isn't as extensive as I had hoped for but still left options. I am normally not a boiled seafood person (other than crawfish) but decided to go for a combo mix of shrimp and crawfish, which came with potatoes and a corn on the cob. I added sausage to it as well. I chose the ragin cajun seasoning to be on the safe side and kept it mild. Was told the wait would be about 20 minutes but the food came out faster which was appreciated. Overall the food was delicious however the flavor was not plentiful, which I think was due to me keeping the seasonings mild. Would I return? Yes. However, I will change up the spice level to see if that kick is there.

I don't know who said they don't have flavor because they were delicious! We got the rajun Cajun seasoning and it was perfect! Absolutely delicious!

The pandemic is coming to an end so I decided to give this new place a try. I called in my order from the parking lot. I was a bit shell shocked at the price of the "special" but I was still determined to have seafood for dinner. The guys working in the restaurant were super friendly so customer service was definitely 5 stars. The place was immaculate on the inside and there were actually a few tables occupied with diners. I orders the shrimp (no heads) and crab legs special medium spicy. The food was done earlier than promised. The food was triple bagged and super hot when it came out I was surprised at how much food I got. For $40 (market price) I got a pound of shrimp and a pound of snow crab with potatoes and a big piece of corn. It was spicier than expected but it was DELICIOUS!!! I couldn't finish it all because it was easily enough food for two. If you want to splurge on some good seafood I highly suggest "Juicy Crawfish" just bring your $$$ cause it ain't cheap but definitely worth the money.
