Cajun Restaurants near Santa Fe, TX

“Pook’s Crawfish Hole was everything I expected and more. The crawfish had a great flavor and the menu was great, even providing options for kids who do not eat seafood. My husband had the Pook’s platter so he was able to get a mix of boiled crawfish, shrimp, and crab. Our waitress, Shelbi, was amazing and she was very helpful. I can’t wait to go back for more crawfish!“

“I reserved the Emmitte Room to host a surprise 50th anniversary party for my parents. I live overseas and worked with Doug to plan the party from 8000 miles away without every stepping foot in the restaurant or seeing the Emmitte Room in real life until the day before the event. Doug was so great to work with! He not only executed the party flawlessly, but he helped to ensure that my anxiety was kept at bay. Brandice was the lead server the evening of the party and she was the ultimate professional and added so much value to an already amazing evening! Thank you to Doug, Brandice and the rest of the team for helping me to pull this off. I couldn’t have done it without you all. (The room was stunning and the food was out of this world!)“

“Good draft beer selection and attentive bartenders. Food selection is good and more interesting than the typical sports bar of this style. Food quality was more on par with typical sports bar and didn't quite live up to the bistreaux expectations.“

“Went one afternoon for a late lunch and was able to indulge in the happy hour menu. It was not at all crowded and I did not have to wait to be serviced. For my appetizer, I had the fried okra and for a drink, I had the Hurricane. Both were good and the drink was surprisingly pretty strong and not watered down at all. I liked the crawfish etouffee but there could have been a bit more crawfish and less vegetables. Overall though, this was a nice meal. Service from my waiter was good and I will definitely be back soon.“

“Cajun shack is my go-to, always, for a lot of food but especially the crawfish. I get Cajun dust, garlic butter, and lemon pepper altogether and extra spicy and it’s a 10/10 every time! Anahi and Beatriz always take such great care of us <3“

“Dined tonight with a group of nine to celebrate my wife's birthday. They installed a new WiFi system this week, so I had to drive to the restaurant to make my reservation since the phones were down Tuesday night and Wednesday midday. No big deal since they serve my wife's favorite steak in Texas, the filet mornay caprese and I was not willing to chance not getting a reservation.As usual the meal was fantastic, we had the spinach artichoke dip to start with the best chips. Main courses were the filet, pork Marsala, and the beef and blue ribeye. I'm not a blue cheese fan, but I subbed Boursin cheese on top.Only hiccup was at the end. The waitress asked if I wanted it all on one check and I confirmed. However, we were never asked if we wanted dessert or coffee (we did) before being presented with the check. This had never happened in any of my many visits and was a poor way to end a wonderful night and celebration for my wife.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining in at Krispy Krunchy, and it was an absolute delight.The service was prompt, and the staff was friendly, adding to the overall positive experience.If you're a fried chicken enthusiast, Krispy Krunchy Chicken is a go to place. I'll definitely be returning here for another round.“

“My family wanted crawfish so we decided to try somewhere local instead of our usual spot. My wife and I ordered the crawfish special which includes three pounds crawfish, 2 potatoes, 2 corns, and 2 eggs. We also added a pound of shrimp and it came out to be around 40ish bucks. Not too bad.Before we completed our order, our waitress mentioned that it was the price for frozen crawfish and the live crawfish was going to be $15/pound which is totally overpriced! We decided to opt out of the live crawfish and imo it wasn’t worth it.After we had our meal, I tried to use my Bay Area Food Lovers card that allows me to get 10% off for up to four guest (we had a party of 7, but we only ordered 4 specials), but I was told that I could only use it for myself and I could not include the three other orders.Overall, the crawfish size was small and the flavor was decent, so maybe we will try it again later in the season.“

“I always pass it up on my way to fish at the park, so had to try it. The portions are great, shrimp good, rice good, all in all a great place. And the sauce reminds me of canes! Will have to pay another visit next time I fish at Highland Bayou.“

“Crawfish season is here and I'm ready!!! After a rainy day which ran into the evening, we decided to venture over to TX Crawfish & Seafood Restaurant.Our service was very attentive and we always appreciate good conversation. As we were scanning the menu, he made his recommendation on food items which is a plus especially for us being first timers. Of course, I opted for 3 lbs of crawfish with all the seasonings and top level spiciness. My husband was feeling a little bold, so he chose the Spicy Fried Rice with Sausage and a bowl of the Beans and Sausage.Overall, everything was delicious! In fact, I took home enough crawfish to settle my craving until next time. As for the other food items, my husband mentioned that the Spicy Fried with Sausage could use some spicy heat. As that's what any should expect. And the Beans and Sausage was not as seasoned perhaps missing the balance of sea salt.No worries because we'll be back!“

“Was really excited to try this place out the food was good I ordered through uber and unfortunately the driver was late picking up my order the manager called to let me know that my order was reading and that he would wait for the driver to get there even though they were closed by 10 will definitely be coming in to order next “

“No matter the name of this place, the crawfish remain consistent. They’re amazing! Plan to be here a while. The service is slow but that is not your servers fault. Be grateful they even showed up and tip generously! Don’t wait to visit!“
