The Crawfish Pot & Oyster Bar

Price and wait time IS worth it. Took friends for the first time and they loved it too. We had the House Special Hot crawfish with mushrooms, eggs, sausage and shrimp. Super flavorful spice, clean and fresh! No BYOB. Best place for crawfish around these parts with an intimate sports bar vibe. Staff is super chill and give great recommendations. They really look like they enjoy being there and celebrate one another. Gets busy on Thursday - Sunday but if you’re pressed for time, come during the week.

Now THIS right here is my spot. I couldn’t wait to get off the plane and come straight here on Thurs 1/15...literally did exactly that. Anytime I come to Houston, The Crawfish Pot is a must. No question. They have the best boil bags, hands down. I usually order my bag Cajun style, but I didn’t catch the young lady’s name, she convinced me to try the house sauce with extra garlic, and baby… she was absolutely on point. I will definitely be ordering it that way moving forward. I had (All you need platter) snow crab, crawfish, shrimp, corn, and potatoes, seasoned to the max. Everything was flavorful, saucy, and cooked just right. The house sauce is like a mix of all their seasonings (from what she explained), and whatever it is, they got it right. Shoutout to Preston (if I’m not mistaken), the young man who rang me up, he also let me know they’re opening a second location nearby, which is dope and well deserved. Top tier every time. Highly recommend. If you’re in Houston, try them out. You will not be disappointed.

Me and a few parents took some of the basketball girls here after a game as they chose where to go. Upon arrival we already knew there was at least a 1 hr wait as the restaurant was packed that we all agreed on with no problem. The young man who was taking down names came outside and got our party as it was our time to be seated. Time pass by & we're still standing waiting to be seated while now being told our table isn't ready after the person came and got us & the app told us our table was ready. Our table was given to someone else & the manager stood there nonchalantly without offering any resolution or apology. Then another lady comes up to where they are whispering and looking at us as if we're the problem. The girls still wanted to try this place and we gave them a chance. Our servers had great attitudes, joked and laughed with the girls while making sure everyone was okay. Shout out to Maddie & Javier you guys were great & we appreciated your kindness! Lady in the picture was so unprofessional & was allegedly a manager or owner who refused to apologize for an issue they created. I won't recommend this place just from the nasty distasteful attitude we received from managers.

Before today this was my favorite crawfish location. However, the RACIAL DISCRIMINATION experienced tonight was so disgusting. I was patiently waiting in line to request a seat. During this time two patrons came in behind me for pickup orders. One of them I actually asked a question. Mind you I was the first in line waiting to be seated. The young hispanic female hostess NEVER addressed me. But when approximately two to four hispanic people came in behind me, they were immediately greeted. It took a young hispanic male, who came from the back to alert her to greet me. When she finally did greet me she acted as if she could not hear me. But mind you she had no issue when it came to hearing the hispanic man standing behind me with the door open. I never leave reviews but I HATE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION! Especially from hispanics!

It was packed, not a big establishment. The wait was around 10 mins. Not to bad, ordered two pounds of crawfish. One with the house sauce mild 🔥. The other with medium house sauce. I loved the mild no spice at all. Tried fried oysters for the first time, they was actually really good. I wasn't expecting the turkey neck to come as a soup. The broth was good it had green onions in it. I should have known it wasn't what I expected when I was asked if I wanted rice with it. It was good I just wasn't use to it in that form. They only have pop and beer for drinks. Calvin was our server, he was amazing, very attentive and helpful while ordering. I'm definitely coming back for some more and to try other items on the menu.

Anthony at Crawfish Pot & Oysters made our whole experience amazing. He was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind from start to finish. He checked on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed. The crawfish were delicious — perfectly seasoned and worth the trip! The only downside was the long wait to be seated, but once we were at the table, Anthony’s great service really made up for it. We’ll definitely be back and asking for him again!

Amazing food amazing staff especially Anthony! It was my birthday and it was the first time I had been there and they did not disappoint the crab super the shrimp super all the appetizers super I will try the crawfish next time but I can say the crab was amazing! You need to come to this place if you love crab! I will be back!

First of all we got there 2 1/2 hours before it closed to make sure we get a spot. After waiting so long, we asked if there was any crawfish left and we were told yes. Once we’re in we are rushed to order as soon as we sat down for a last call. If you are rushing people maybe cut off the amount of people who are signing up for a table. Than we ordered our food after patiently waiting for this amazing food and than some girl with glasses comes up to us to tell us that there is no more crawfish which is absolutely absurd because before we got sat down we asked the hostess if they had any crawfish left and they shard yes, wasting our time even further.

Found this place on Yelp and it wasnt crowded... yet. They have a good selection of cajun and seafood here. I love the different genres of music they played. My son ordered the chicken wings and a side of fries. I had a crawfish po'boy with onion strings but they also gave me fries as well. I ordered boudain balls and ended up getting full just from that so we took our food to go. The amount of crawfish they put on the po'boy had me using a fork! Awesome work! Staff are very nice.

The food is really good , crawfish are amazing but to pay $10 a pound for crawfish ..you guys gotta do better ..I get in the past seasons it was high Becuase of the shortage due to the weather ...let's not get greedy ...we can do better

Wings were absolutely disgusting. They had an unappetizing, rubbery texture that felt like chewing on old tires. Completely awful experience - I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Avoid at all costs!

Shrimp was very hard to peal. The seasoning was great but they don't thaw out their food.

Let me just say tonight was one of the worst experiences ever here it wasn't the customer service because I ordered online to go but I'm disappointed because the crawfish were so tiny! Since the beginning of 2025 we've been here 4 times 5th made today and we've never had a small crawfish everrrr including the previous years!!! This is me and my kids go to spot and I'll bring my friend as well but it's clear that before I order next time I will have to call ahead to confirm the size of the crawfish that's available because I will never again in life try peeling any baby tails of a crawfish. I didn't even finish my 3lbs off because of the size of them. And I do mean ALL baby crawfish. I understand we recently had a winter storm but the size was unacceptable coming from my go to establishment.

Great prices, Graet music and atmosphere, oysters were super fresh! and the service was quick and attentive!

Best place for crawfish and shrimp! Their shimp fried rice is one of the best in the city very flavorful!

First time I came here was before I had to go to the airport. I didn't expect much since I wanted some decent seafood. They are a good size restaurant with plenty of places to sit and eat. I decided to go with the trio platter and selected fried oysters, fried shrimp, and fried catfish. It came with onion strings and Cajun fries. I also tried crawfish from my family's plates. I don't usually eat a lot of fried seafood but these came out really well. I loved how the moisture was trapped inside of all 3. The batter was crispy and flavorsome. Those Cajun fries reminded me of Popeyes but freshly made. Onion strings were delicious. Service was okay. Prices were very reasonable for the generous portions.

Have been here several times this week, and they never disappoint. They had specials all week for their 10th birthday! Service was excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful. We had their raw oyster special, a $7/dozen & $0.50 wings. We also ordered crawfish and boiled shrimp with the house special sauce and it was delicious! They do get busy so prepare to wait a bit if you have a big party, it'll be worth it. Come show your support if you're in the area, can't wait to see what specials they'll have next.

We drive all the way from Spring, TX just to eat here! Awesome service and food and ambience!!

The best place to grab a cold one and crawfish. The service is outstanding and clean atmosphere.

Great service! Food was delicious! Everything was his amor this place on our visit to Houston!! Oh and Drinks were extremely cold major plus!!

This place is my favorite Viet style crawfish ever!! The house special sauce is the best one I've had. I always recommend people to this restaurant.

Delicious fresh snow crab, with cajun fries ; we got the house special medium which was flavorful but not spicy at all

I'm hooked. I will be there as much as possible. The service was top tier. I asked for it hot and then I wanted it even more hot and they accommodated that.

I really love this place, and it's definitely a favorite! The house special seasoning is the best!

excellent service and the food was amazing. Love the ambience and the room was filled w wonderful service and employees were great and very respectful!

Very good seafood boil & sweet workers! Everyone is very considerate and loves to work with you if it's your first time coming in! Definitely recommend:)

Always here when I can. However it's even a while since I've had the Hungry Home Platter since they're always out. If I can be frank, probably the only place with such a valuable deal. I love it here.

First time trying this place! This place is phenomenal! Food, ambiance, and service was on point! We got 5lbs of crawfish and level of spice was perfect! I will be sure to come back really soon!

4/14/2024 Deliciousness!!! Everything!! Service top notch! Love the vibe. First time here but we're already making plans for next trip here! Chris, our waiter, truly amazing! Fried shrimp, fried fish, fried crawfish, Cajun fries.

The food is impeccable. I haven't found anything on the menu I have been dissatisfied with yet. Very consistent!

Highly recommend! $16 for dozen oysters, they were the bomb. Didn't care abt the grilled oyster, its the skip for me. We ordered medium spice level on house sauce, it still had a kick to it. Wouldn't get hot spice level bc it was just salty. Fried rice was a surprise tho! Everyone loved it, even me( i never get fried rice... everrrr ) Staff was very pleasant , Barbara was our server. She made sure we were take care of. Decor was cosy too Will be back again

By far the best place to eat Crawfish and Shrimp! Can't go wrong with the House Special Sauce and your Michelada on the side.

This restaurant is AMAZING!! The service is always on point making me feel very welcomed. The food is always amazing and on point!!!10/10

I absolutely love this place, customer service is great, the food is great! Be prepared to wait, it's so worth it.

Love this place. Everything is so good. Crawfish flavor is one of the best in Houston. And their raw oysters are also one of the best I've had. I Had 2 dozen today. Lol

I LOVE the boiled blue crab,shrimp,oysters and wings always grab an order of each. The service is fantastic friendly servers and fast response time and I always enjoy the vibe.

Crawfish Pot has great service And have an amazing seasoning!! Seating and wait time is good!

I just flew into town and checked in to my hotel. I found The Crawfish Pot doing a search around Houston Hobby Airport. It was a 5 minute walk from Springhill Suites. This place is spot on. Local great Cajun flare with amazing staff. Sat at the bar and was greeted by Barbara. I had the gumbo for lunch and the house beer Crawford Bock. I recommend both. During my time there, Barbara asked if I ever had crawfish, being from Ohio I never had. Barbara asked if I wanted a sample and if I wanted a crash course how to eat them. It was so cool of her to do this. It was fun, messy (gloves provided), delicious and I am thankful for her spending a few moments to provide OUTSTANDING customer service. A very affordable lunch/dinner option. Cheers to her, the cooks and Crawfish Pot for a great lunch. Best regards, Joe Russell

I would recommend this place to anyone! I would compare it to Cajun craven, I usually go there but they're closed on Wednesdays. I was not disappointed with crawfish pot and I will probably come back! 3 LBS of shrimp house special sauce, hot was enough to get the sinuses clear. For apps I got the crab puffs (crab ragoons) and they were good, try them out when you go! Service was friendly, it was my first time so I had lots of questions but the server knew her menu very well to help me order. Since I went on a Wednesday night I was seated right away, parking is easy, restrooms are clean.

My family and I went there on a Tuesday and EVERYTHING was awesome. The service was immaculate. I ordered oysters, crawfish and an Arnold Palmer. The flavor was very tasty and made to perfection. Everyone was pleased and I will be coming back very soon.

The staff is awesome! Very welcoming. The food was amazing! Fried everything good, boiled everything good!! We liked the seating and TVs. Cozy.

The food the we did get was ok, we did not get half of what we ordered due to our food being given to another table, we waited awhile longer so they could remake our food. The waitress brought us our bill and then said we could pay whenever we were ready, we pointed out we never got 2 of our plates, she apologized and said she never put another order in. We just paid for what we did get and left, maybe we went on a bad day but we will not be returning just due to service.

best foof ever. coming backk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's not too many cajun seafood joints in this town of Pasadena, but to find one open during a pandemic was somewhat exciting. When you pull-up in a parking space, an an employee will come out to take your order while you're in the car. Here's what we ordered: Fried Combo (shrimp, oysters, catfish) - Not bad, but I've had better. I like my fried seafood with a little more cornmeal batter. Turkey Neck - This is the first time I've ever had turkey necks "whole". For one, it does not look appealing to eat. Secondly, it lacks flavor. Boudin Balls - Best tasting item ordered. I liked the sauce it came with too. Again, we are facing a pandemic so there's a limited menu (No live crawfish when we came). Takeout service was average. Although employees don't seem very enthused. Sadly, I won't return because the food just didn't do it for me.
