An afternoon on the deck with umbrellas and misters was terrific, and staff found us quieter space for large party and active small children. Main disappointments were that plates were not provided for the many appetizers we ordered and table wasn't cleared of appetizer debris before the entrees. We bussed our own table and had to find waitstaff several times for help. Menu-wise, our group would have appreciated more meat and veggie options. The 'icey' mixed drinks were delish!
Happy with our first visit - we enjoyed the food, the music and the service.
We'll be coming back soon!

First time eating at Crawdads. Sitting out on the deck with views of the American River was outstanding. Crawdad boil was very good and not too spicy. Definitely will come here again

Crawdads on the Lake is a beautifully renovated restaurant with a stunning patio offering scenic views of the river. The atmosphere is lovely, especially with the Christmas lights and live music, which can make it a bit loud for conversation at times. The staff is friendly and helpful; they provide attentive service, with some guests praising the bartenders for their efficiency. Some dishes, such as the Shrimp cocktail, Cajun pasta, and Jambalaya, have received positive feedback for their taste and large portion sizes. However, some reviewers still find certain items, like the Crab Cakes and Nashville chicken sandwich, to be inconsistent in quality and temperature.
Valet parking is mandatory on weekends, which some guests have found inconvenient, though the valet staff, like Justin, work hard to manage the situation. Despite a few initial hiccups, Crawdads on the Lake offers a pleasant dining experience, and many guests are looking forward to returning. The restaurant may still need to address some food quality issues to attract repeat customers.
