“Best anywhere. The owners are so nice. The people that work there are also amazing it’s a family owned business. All crawfish and shrimp are amazing. Everyone needs to go pick up some and try it for yourself. They are also for giving back with every 5 lbs of crawfish you get a punch on the card and after a couple punches you get 5 lbs free. What’s better than that. CRAWFISH FON THIS PLACE IS“

“With so many options of where to buy boiled crawfish, it can be hard to choose. This drive-thru, pick up only place has the best and biggest crawfish at a very fair price! Always my first choice!“

“Loved it!!!! I haven’t had real seafood in a hot minute. I knew it would be good when I pulled up to the building. I smelled the spice as soon as I walked in, I ordered crawfish, snow crab legs and blue crabs. We went with the mild seasoning (I smelled the spice and my baby is NY born soooo…) anyway… the taste was amazing, very flavorful and not too spicy… Spiced enough to have your nose running but not overbearing. It was cooked to order, still hot after 30mins plus and the lady brought the pans to us (which she didn’t have to do, but I thought when she said 20mins that I’d give them 30mins before going in). Great meal!!! Would definitely go again!!! Just in town for the football tournament but I’d take another weekend drive to get some more.“

“Cody’s NEVERRRR disappoints! 🦞🖤 Hands down best crawfish in this area and the most friendly service!!“

“Been on a plate lunch tour and heard about ZZ’s from one of the foodies blogs. Went today and had smothered beef steak, corn and white beans. The steak was smothered in tons of onions which I love and you could tell the sides were fresh and cooked down properly. Awesome!!!“

“Amazing flavor, perfect size, vegetables (may have been old) other than that the crawfish was PERFECT“

“Great service and delicious seafood 🦞 🍤“

“Reddick Stevens has been doing work for Greystone for several years now. Reddick has a trustworthy, courteous and hardworking group of craftsman. They are a full service company and handle everything from interior trim work to concrete repairs. Reddick and his team respond immediately when contacted and pay amazing attention to detail, which is very rare this day and age and certainly something you can't put a price on!“

“I’m a literal crawfish addict & and let me just say that the customer service and communication was superb at Crawfish Boss. That along with the crawfish being seasoned and juicy is enough to go back. The guy who I assume is one of the managers who helped me was great. Very friendly and honest & the young blonde girl at the window is always very friendly. Will be back!“

“Charlie’s Seafood – 4.1 / 5 Stars

What Stands Out

Generous, well-seasoned portions – The Large Seafood Plate (two catfish + 10 shrimp with salad, bread & choice of fries or fried rice) comes in around $13 and consistently satisfies .

Signature egg rolls and popcorn shrimp – Egg rolls are frequently praised as “best I’ve had in the area so far” , and popcorn shrimp plates boast a 96% thumbs-up rating .

Speed & friendliness – Customers rave about fast, courteous drive-thru service and a clean, casual dining area .

Wide menu variety – From classic fried fish plates, shrimp burgers, shrimp fried rice, lo mein, to chicken tenders and burgers, they cover both seafood and Asian-inspired comfort .

Where It Can Slip

Spice inconsistency – Some orders, even when marked mild, arrive overly spicy, and seasoning can vary meal to meal .

Quality dips occasionally – A few customers cited dry chicken tenders and soggy fries or stale poboys during off-days .

Not a fine-dining setup – It's primarily take-out with limited dine-in; service can slow during peak times, and mistakes happen—though they’re usually made right .

Best Bets

Large Seafood Plate – For value and flavor.

Egg Rolls – A standout “local favorite.”

Popcorn Shrimp Plate – High thumbs-up rating and dependable crowd-pleaser.

Lo Mein – A tasty detour if you want something beyond fried sea fare.

Final Take

Charlie’s Seafood is a solid go-to for hearty, affordable gulf-style seafood with friendly service and speedy takeout. It shines brightest for value-conscious eaters craving classic fried seafood or even lo mein. Just be aware of slight inconsistencies in spice and quality during busy times.

Rating 4/ 5 — dependable, flavorful, and unbeatable for the price, but occasional seasoning swings and service hiccups prevent a.“

“Went for our lunch today while out in town and was very disappointed. We really wanted some good charbroiled oysters and got garbage instead. Our oysters were served to us luke warm and didn't look or taste "charbroiled" at all. The stuffing that came on top of mine was cold in the middle and the sauce that came with it on the side was cold as well. Ive never in my life been served cold cooked oysters! Absolutely disgusting. Won't be back. Years ago when I came everything was good but now its a big no for me. Disappointed amd dissatisfied after this lunch. O and let me not forget to mention our waitress was very unattentive and never came check on us after we received our food. So that made the experience suck too!“

“From the moment I stepped inside I was enveloped in an atmosphere of pure elegance. The soft ambient lighting, tasteful décor, and hushed conversations created an intimate yet refined setting, perfect for a memorable evening. The service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, with every detail meticulously attended to. The staff’s knowledge of the menu and wine pairings was impressive, guiding us through a culinary journey that felt both personalized and indulgent. ❣️“

“When I tell you miss Noel gave me a great experience at your restaurant, I mean it was fast and so professional and she actually held a conversation with me about things that suits my interests. This woman needs a raise ASAP or im not coming back lol.
She gave a me a sample of some crawfish etoufe and I fell in love so I ended up getting the crawfish two-step. It was delicious 😋“

“Abby, our waitress was the absolute best!! It was our first trip, definitely won’t be the last. The food was sooo good and kept us full. If you go there you won’t be disappointed. There’s something for everyone, even picky eaters like me. I’d 100 percent ask for Abby, and made our trip, our meal, and my birthday!! Thanks again Abby for constantly checking on us throughout the meal even though you had many other tables, you made us feel like your only customers!“

“The smother pork chops was good“
