“Loved it!! Each crawfish is impressively sized, with bouncy, fresh meat quality and tidbit sweet taste. The one I ordered isn't 100% Cajun seasoning but with some Asian hint to it - absolutely delicious. I think that's the shop's secret recipe. Highly recommend.“

“What an experience! I came from Alabama on a work trip. My fellow employees and I were trying to find a seafood restaurant and stumbled upon this restaurant on a Wednesday. And boy did we hit the jackpot! The food was amazing first off. Second off, we had been wanting to do karaoke and there was a DJ! We sang at the table while we were eating and had such an amazing time. The atmosphere is phenomenal! We ended up dancing on the floor to a few songs before we left 😂 Thank you Hook & Reel for such an amazing experience. The next time we are in the area we are FOR SURE coming back!“

“Last Friday, my best friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a night out, and after hearing so many great things, we landed on Hot N Juicy Crawfish. Let me just say—this place lives up to the hype and then some!
The moment we walked in, we were hit with the lively, no-frills vibe of the restaurant. Tables were covered in plastic (a sign that things were about to get messy—in the best way possible), and the staff was quick to greet us with big smiles. They handed us bibs and gloves, and we immediately felt like we were in for an authentic seafood boil experience.
We went all out and ordered “The Drool” with the famous Hot N Juicy sauce in medium heat. It came loaded with shrimp (heads on, as the sauce clings to the shells better), crawfish, mussels, and crab legs. The sauce was rich, garlicky, and perfectly spiced—just thick enough to coat every bite without overpowering the delicate seafood flavors.
The shrimp were plump and juicy, the crawfish seasoned to perfection, and the crab legs? Meaty and tender, just the way they should be. We also couldn’t resist an order of Cajun calamari on the side, which was crispy, flavorful, and a great complement to the boil.
What stood out most was the freshness of everything—it felt like the ocean had come to the table. We didn’t leave a single morsel behind!
Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed—extra gloves, napkins, and plenty of wet wipes for the aftermath of our seafood feast. They even offered tips on how to crack open the crab legs efficiently, which made the experience even more fun.
By the end of the meal, we were covered in sauce, grinning ear to ear, and marveling at how satisfying the night had been. But instead of going straight home, we decided to wind down with Pull Up DC’s “Mango Madness” strain. It was the perfect way to cap off the evening—relaxing, uplifting, and just the right vibe to keep the good times rolling.
Hot N Juicy Crawfish isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. From the finger-licking-good seafood to the fun, laid-back atmosphere, it’s a place that brings people together over incredible food. Whether you’re a die-hard seafood fan or just someone looking for a unique dining adventure, this spot is a must-visit.
Pro tip: Get the Hot N Juicy sauce, go big with your order, and don’t be afraid to get messy—it’s all part of the fun. And for an even better ending to your night, make a stop by Pull Up DC to keep the good vibes flowing. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!“

“I came here to try the endless seafood and tapped out so early 😂 everything I had was delicious though! Im so glad I ignored the negative reviews and still gave this place a try!

I went during happy hour time with a friend. They have a great happy hour as well!

For our selections, we had the crab balls, catfish, and wings. We also did a regular boil. Mine had crawfish, crab legs, headless shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and ramen. For the sauce I did everything but the lemon pepper one.

This was my first time adding noodles and it will not be the last. Everything was delicious, but I did feel like the butter taste was too prevalent so I will switch it up next time. The sausage also isnt the best, but I may get it again just to be sure lol. The wings and catfish were SO good. The crab balls are full of crab and minimal filler.

Definitely recommend this place for seafood lovers or someone who just likes a good happy hour with fun bar tenders!“
