“I dined at The Rouxpour whilst visiting family in Sugarland I’m from the UK so this was my first introduction to New Orleans inspired cuisine. I was certainly impressed. We all enjoyed our food. Every last plate was delicious. We had the blackened shrimp, lamb lollipops and the gumbo as appetisers. Absolutely delicious. Most of us got the steak with crabmeat, shrimp, potatoes and veggies. Staff denied our request to join two tables together to accommodate us so we squeezed into a booth but our waiter Jordan apologised on behalf of his colleagues and took the table size into consideration and made sure the food came out at just the right time and could fit on the table. Jordan was also incredibly polite, funny and generally of great character. The food was great but he really enhanced the experience. I will certainly be returning upon my next visit to the area. Thank you Jordan !“
“Great stop for takeout. Small so not great for crowds if eating in. Very reasonably priced. Fast friendly. Order online because they cook it fresh and it may take a while.Parking: There are only 6 spaces and some are taken by a shoe repair shop.“
“My mom was in town and wanted shrimp and crab. Know just the place and, like always, this place was amazing. I usually eat at the bar with friends, but since I was with my mom, we asked if we could sit on the patio since it was a nice day they got us a table ready asap. Ari, our waitress was amazing she was on top of her game the whole time.“
“This was our first time coming to crawfish cafe and it was so good! When we arrived, there was a short line and we waited about 5 minutes before being seated. We had the crawfish, garlic noodles, queso and cracklins and fried shrimp and catfish plate. Everything was good and the crawfish was 10/10. I got the kickin Cajun flavor with “spicy” spice level which was really spicy but GOOD! Jennifer was our waiter and she was very welcoming and friendly. She met all of our needs even while training another staff member! Our experience here was excellent and we will return!“
“This is clearly a hidden gem in Houston if you're a fan of skewers. I highly recommend this place.Be warned, because everything is so good and the portions are small it's very easy to keep ordering and racking up a bill. This isn't a bad thing, but just be aware.“
“I have a great experience every time I come here. The employees are super nice and patient. This is the best 7Spice I’ve been to! The service is great every time I have no complaints at all! My food is great, I got the fish and shrimp but their crawfish taste really good as well!!“
“I never knew we had an authentic New Orleans po-boy place in Missouri City. I can finally get my Hot Sausage poboy and Pineapple Big Shot fix on a regular basis?. I got a chance to try Mr. Pat's food for the 1st time on Monday night and he did not disappoint. My husband and I are originally from Louisiana, so it's always special whenever we can find a restaurant that reminds us of home. The food is made fresh to order. Mr. Pat is the cook, the cashier, waiter, owner, etc. He shows great hospitality to all of his customers and makes sure that everyone leaves satisfied.“
“OooooooooMmmmmmmGggggggg!!!! Yasssssssssss!!! Just go! Make the drive. This is the best restaurant boil I've had.There wasn't a wait, service was quick and food came out fast!Large Platter with headless shrimp instead of the whole shrimp that it comes with. You basically get a pound of mussels, shrimp, crawfish, snow crab, clams, corn, potatoes, eggs and sausage. $75I ordered King Crab. $59.99 for 1 lb.Weekend Special $47 for 1 lobster tail, 1/2 shrimp and 1 lb snow crabSeasoning House Mix (Mild) still has a slight kick but very manageable.They have a full bar, screens and plenty of seating. Sophia was our waitress and she was amazing! I can't wait to go back!“
“Great ambiance! Wonderful staff, chargilled oysters and gumbo were delish!!! I'll definitely be a regular supporter of this establishment!!! Update...over a year later, I'm still a regular. My family and I love this eatery in our city. Local, Louisiana flare!! Ownership is so personable & always remember their regular supporters. Come, enjoy...see you there!“
“This place is HEAT ??? I’m from south Louisiana and had never had viet-cajun style crawfish and let me tell you it was FIRE. Great food, great people, 10/10 service. Our waitress Ally was awesome and kept us filled up the whole time. Couldn’t ask for better.“
“This is my 8th 7 spice restaurant location I have visited. And I must say top notch like the rest Except the 288 & McHard location. This location, Westhiemer, has a gentleman named Johan was one of the best. These are a chain going places IF they can keep it the same like Pearland Prkwy and Westhiemer locations. Thank you for an awesome lunch.“
“Given 5 stars for manager, food and second server.Meal was a disaster before I even sat down due to an abrupt server. Hostess was going to seat our party of 3 at a round table for 5 and a server (who ended up being our server) ran over and told us “you can’t sit there “. She was our server and I addressed it with her and mentioned she should soften her approach. Anyway, girls lunch went downhill from there. Other two women arrived. I ordered the salad and gumbo lunch special. My order here for 30 years. Other ladies ordered their favorite, the chopped salad with crispy chicken. Well, items were left off of both salads when ordering — tomatoes, onions. One salad was perfect. The other came back with tomatoes and 6 pieces of chicken. So it was returned to kitchen. Manager comes over and apologized. Offering free dessert. Salad was returned with no tomatoes or avocado, and only 4 pieces of chicken. Server comes over after I had to get up and get her attention at cash register in back corner talking with a friend looking at their friend’s necklace. Told her there was a problem and she says “I’ll be over in a minute”, and goes back to chatting with friend and looking at her necklace. Server did come over and offered to bring out the avacado. My friend was not happy with this. Now manager comes over a second time, apologies given again. Anyway, manager comped our meal and assigned a new server to our table. Was a mess of a lunch. Spent majority of time speaking with server and manager. I am visiting from out of town and this is Pappa’s for goodness sake. Expectations are high for what they charge. Lunch a bomb. Good good food as always, mine was really good as always. But never like to engage with manager during a meal I look forward to.“
“For a casual restaurant, the food was great. The price was fair, in our opinion. We ordered gumbo, calamari, and the fried shrimp for the kids. None was extraordinary but I would say it is still better than alot of places, especially the seafood gumbo was a lot of goodies in it and it was a big portion. A bowl could totally fill one up“
“Not sure if you have been to Rouxpour in Cinco Ranch but we went there yesterday and it was absolutely delicious! Started with a scallop appetizer. I had Boudin stuffed chicken with an amazing shrimp sauce, garlic mashed potatoes and green beans and my husband had the Snapper with jambalaya rice and asparagus. We would love to have dessert, but were so full. Katy TX. We sat outside on the patio with a lovely pond view. Highly recommend!“
“I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a very long time, and when I finally got to go it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! The food was so good and they had so many different options than your would typically see on a menu. The drink selection was also really good. The service was great, super fast and our food came out HOT! Also as a first time diner, desert was on the house! Can’t beat that. Such a memorable experience!!!“
“4/6/2024 First time trying this place after a recommendation from a colleague. The food was fresh and really good. Atmosphere I gave 3 ⭐️ only because it’s in a gas station. Let’s help get them into a stand alone building. The food did NOT disappoint. I’m going back to try the baked potato. Support local.Went back 4/7/2024 and got the Supa dupaPotato and fried fish. Another hit.“
“Lotus is always a 5 star experience! There is just something about the crack sauce! It’s so good that when I go to other seafood restaurants I wish I had some! Love all of the seafood that is put in the fully loaded loud pack! You also can never go wrong with the fried fish and fries.Parking: Lotus is in a strip shared with one other restaurant and a few businesses. Depending on how busy it is it can be somewhat difficult. However I have always found parking coming here.“
“We have come here many times for crawfish, and it is ALWAYS delicious. We get the wild Cajun seasoning, my bf gets extra extra spicy, and I'm a medium girl. We love getting the potatoes and corn with it, we do miss the red potatoes, but we still enjoy what they serve now. Corn is always so juicy and flavorful! Crawfish are always good size during peak season time and delicious. The servers/owners are always polite and take good care of us. This is our only spot for crawfish! Will always keep coming back!“
“Great no frills Cajun seafood restaurant. I visited while in Texas with my parents and left thoroughly impressed. They told me Pappadeaux is not the same and Lafayette's is now their favorite Cajun restaurant. Dreaming of returning to Texas for more etouffee, gumbo, and boudain!“
“Everytime I've visited, I'm treated like family. The food is always flavorful and savory. The staff is always friendly and kind.I even dropped my wallet like a big ole dummy, they called my brother and told us we dropped it. Not only good food, but very honest people.“

“We adore this place and the people who work there (and own it, I believe). We are always treated so kindly, almost like family. We were served by Jose this time, I don’t remember him being there in past visits, but he was excellent. My daughter thought he was hilarious! My water nor my husbands tea ever went empty. There was a lady with refills that was ON IT. She also was so so so very nice. Our food can’t be left out either. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the soft shell crab, but the fried catfish my husband got instead was DELICIOUS, crispy, and so well seasoned. My fried crawfish poboy was HEAPING, and wonderful. The show stealer is the side of the crawfish sauce we use for dipping. If you stop in, make sure you get a side!“
“What would Keith Lee say… “I don’t see why there isn’t a line out this door” everything from the service, food, and hospitality. My first time here was such a great experience and I know it won’t be my last. Gonna be my new go to spot for lunch when I stop in Houston. Shoutout to everyone for making my first experience such a great one!“
“The boiled crawfish and shrimp were very good. Just needed a bit more seasoning. Also the fried shrimp is very delicious. Along with the edamame. We also had sausage, corn and potatoes with the boil. The chicken wings were okay. Service was great.“

I wish millions of Americans knew about this restaurant.The food is amazing and worth spending your money. Please try today you won’t regret it.Kid-friendliness: You have kids this restaurant is kid friendly“
“Decided to try this place because it was the only seafood spot around that opened until 11pm instead of 10pm. So glad we did! We got snow crabs (pretty cheap compared to a lot of other places) & 1/2 lb gave me almost 2 clusters, which was enough for me. We got a whole lb and it was a lot! They’re not stingy at all! We also got shrimp fried rice that tastes soooo good with the Drip Sauce. Lastly, we had to get the turkey necks!!!!! They were a little more salty than I’d prefer. The music was def a vibe; we had our own TV in the booth for the game; & great customer service for sure.“
“My favorite seafood place in Houston — I wish you crawfish was better! But the items I listed cannot be compared! I literally love this place — don’t do too much tho lol I don’t want to be waiting too longgggFollow me @dessitravels on ig and TikTok for more reviews and recipes ❤️?✨“
“This is my go to seafood spot. Everything from their fried fish, shrimp and crawfish are the business. The prices aren't bad and they also have frozen drinks. This place can get crowded especially on the weekend which is a good sign that the food is delicious! I usually call my order in to avoid the wait. I'll definitely suggest coming here if you're looking for crawfish, boil shrimp or anything fried really! Definitely try out this place.. it get packed during crawfish season“
“I had a great experience with Creole Flava. Customer Service was great and the food was amazing! They catered our school for a group upwards of 80 people. We had plenty of enough food and everyone enjoyed the meal/atmosphere. A special thanks to Ms. Sheila for making the process seamless and helping us along the way. She was amazing!“
“We are really excited about supporting local businesses, so we wanted to share some helpful info with you. We noticed that the food at this place could use a bit of a boost in quality. But hey, the server is super nice and friendly! Plus, the restaurant is brand new and absolutely spotless. So, if you're up for it, we totally recommend giving it a shot!“
“Love it! Best seafood place in Houston! however you will NEVER be able to order on the phone they will NEVER answer. they shouldn’t even have a phone tbh. also they aren’t on ANY delivery apps so you literally have to go there everytime you want food & hopefully you will get seated.“

“I've gone to the one down HWY plenty of times over the decade and was excited when they moved closer to the FBtoll but never got a chance until now. For a family of 5 this is perfect family pack to hit everyone's needs. Definitely will be my go to order, maybe more shrimp as those were my favorite. Battered on fish is fired hard but fish is still moist. I wish the skin wasn't so hard verses crispy I would rate 5 stars. What I did love as well is I order pick up and it was ready at the 17 min mark which is excellent!! On time food establishments always get my business unless the food is God awful but this is not. Greens beans not bad. Tarter also not bad. My garlic toast was too hard. It would need to soak in paste before you could consume it. Hush puppies are dense and just needs something to make it worth my buying. Like a jalapeño or corn or peppers in the batter would be excellent. All in all. I would return to grab more food.“
“I’m really picky about my seafood boils. For the price, it’s definitely worth trying. Their sauce was a on the thicker side, I just didn’t enjoy the consistency (7.5/10.) I also got catfish and sweet potato fries. That combo was 9/10. I really liked the catfish.“
“It was our first visit here. The 4 of us, we started with an order butter scallops following with a combination plate including: 2 lbs snow Crab, 4 lbs crawfishes, 1 lb potatoes, 1 lb corns & 1lb sausages.The price and food is excellent ?. The service couldn't be better.We'll be back the next time when we go visiting Houston for sure?“
“Happen to be in the area in Richmond and ran across this restaurant. I ordered the penne pasta with oxtail .. The best item I have ever eaten anywhere.The pasta was cooked to perfection. There was so much meat on the bones. Employee mentioned there was about a pound of meat. Gravy was in the mix along with carrots and onions bell peppers.Needless to say the order was enough for 2/3 people. Then I got a side of fried okra. Delicious and crispy.The only problem I see there is parking if it gets busy. Unless there is more in the back. When I am in the area again I will return“

“Very clean and great atmosphere, great staff, as soon as I placed my order, the team in the back was on it!! The food is yummy, the lunch special from 11:00am-3:00pm is irresistible? the wings is one of the best in Town!, fish & shrimp so good… ?? I’m gonna keep coming back. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Vegetarian options: The salad ? yummy“
“17-APR-2024This is a Crawfish review.The crawfish were good, got the medium spice and was spicy enough.Cooked well, not mushy.Boil mix was salty like using a lot of Tony Chachere's, no minced garlic.Medium sized.Not fishy.No straight tails.Today was a $10/ 2lbs special.Corn was good, potatoes hard.Parking: Lots of shared parking.“
“I visited Houston for spring break and decided to try Lotus Seafood. We ordered barbecue and lemon pepper wings, they were 10 out 10. The shrimp fried rice was good. I give it a 8 out of 10 only because the shrimp was the size of dimes, but other than that it was very well flavored! Overall I give them a 8.5 based on the cold fries, tables not being clean and the atmosphere not being inviting.“
“I am from Louisiana and I heard about it and I definitely had to come and try for myself and from what you said good food good service pleasant atmosphere and definitely the food was great. We order the crawfish, Cajun rice and fried shrimp, tilapia basket with seasoned fries. It was delicious ?? we even ordered ball, shrimp, corn, and potato on the way out to bring home that how good the food is.., definitely gotta come try LA Crawfish “
“Another crazy busy restaurant in Houston. We got a table for 11 people, and when you travel in large packs order family style. We ordered so many dishes I got tired of taking pictures. Nevertheless, the service was fast and efficient. The food is definitely exotic in choices and preparation. So if you are into adventure dining, but not too crazy, Ocean Crawfish is a good start.“
“This is a great seafood spot ! I will say if you are a fan of spicy, get the level spicer than medium , medium was not as spicy for me personally, but I enjoyed the food over all. And the atmosphere is great . The ladies are very attentive. As you can tell WE ATE !“
“I visited this place for the first time today didn’t know what to expect, turn out the food was amazing, hot and fresh, the mussels had a good size to it and the crawfish was juicy, the garlic butter flavor was fantastic, plus the fried rice was flavorful and the texture was on point. The employees were also nice and respectful with a fast service. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone and be back again!! :))“
“I love the Cajun Curry Shrimp soup! So much so, it’s the only thing from there I have ever had…and I have it often! Obsessed with it!!My daughter came in from LA…the city, not state…lol…and I took her there! She loved it too!! It was confirmed by my own personal food critic that it is as awesome as I thought it was!Service is always good and pretty quick…except when there is a long line to order! Comes with the quest of good food though!“
“A bit small to eat there but amazing food. The shrimp and fish were on point. Fries were well seasoned, no ketchup needed. The sauce, I think was remoulade, took the shrimp and fish beyond what they were. Great service, the young man there did great on frying such a delicious dish. Would definitely skip the one in my area and take the 1hr drive to come back here. Thank you.I also wanted to highlight for those that are concerned, this location is halal“
“They have good food. I went throughout the week & on a Saturday. It was like the club on Saturday. The line was out the building & a lot of people was lottering outside the building. It was packed. Throughout the week it was quiet. They have good food.“
“I came in for Sunday brunch. I had the mimosa flight with the peach chicken and waffles. The mimosa’s were freshly made and had a strong kick to them. The peach chicken and waffles were an A+; finger licking good. Lastly, the customer service was respectful and friendly. It’s a quaint spot but a nice black business to support.“
“Alex was our server and was the most awesome ever. He had a great attitude and tended to us often. We wanted for nothing and while that wasn't our requirement he insisted. That made our day. It was my wife's birthday and he made it worth the trip.“
“Great food.great customer servive.the cashier was super nice. We left crafty crab to come order food here.my 3 kids and I had a great time. The food was amazing. I ordered cajun zing wings(amazing and so tasty), suicide shrimp boxwith corn tice and potatoes (omg sooo good and seasoned well) it came fries and nola sauce,and we also ordered drinks i had a mau moito (i think i speeled i right) it was soooo good.....lets get back to the customer service,when i came in she greeted us,she was patient,my order came fast,the guy that brought my food was nice and smiled.amazing location amazing nice ppl.clean resturant,clean restrooms, cool vibesDont eat at Crafty crab eat at Calliopes its way betterKid-friendliness: Very kid frinedly.my kids had so much fun and they were sooo full.......“
“The food was surprisingly delicious as I hurriedly ordered for delivery as I had a busy day at work. I cannot tell you about the ambiance but the food was delivered hot, prepared perfectly and the portions were plentiful! I will order again!!“
“Went at lunch. Busy but not crowded and not noisy. Excellent food. Tried the redfish, crayfish bisque, shrimp pasta, bread pudding, sopapillas, jambalaya and chicken fried chicken. Also the alligator appetizer. Everything was very good. Prices reasonable compared to amount of food. Excellent service.“
