Hands down, the best crawfish in the Houston area! I grew up eating crawfish on a regular basis and Mel's are right up there with some of the best. Even though I tend to like crawfish that are extremely spicy, Mel's were a happy medium that cater to a range of people while having a decent kick to them. Do not waste your time or money going to other places, especially places inside the loop that offer crawfish as Mel's has the best. It's also BYOB, which is a huge bonus!
The best crawfish I've ever had! The crawfish is soaked to perfection and taste so fresh. Definitely recommend this spot for real New Orleans style crawfish.
A must have!
Everything about this place is 5-stars. The boil was buttery and had a kick. We got two pounds of headless shrimp with signature spicy sauce and a basket of Cajun fried calamari and it was absolutely delicious.
Our server was also super nice, they gave us a cup of water to go when we checked out as it was super hot outside without us having to ask. The service was impeccable.
My GF and I ate here tonight. Daniel did a phenomenal job. She got the fried rice, I got the 24 fried shrimp for $15 (!) and we shared the charbroiled oysters. It was all great and Daniel did an amazing job! Highly recommend and ask for him!
Crawfish flavors are amazing. (Salt & pepper surprised me) I had the wings as well which were cooked perfectly and nicely sized. The bisque type soup (I forget the name) was super good as well. Flavor wise, top 3 crawfish I’ve had this season.
We’ve never eaten inside but we ALWAYS order from DoorDash we’ve been ordering for months and they never disappoint. Of course only when crawfish season is over but that’s not their fault 😂
Food is delicious, margaritas are pretty strong and never missing utensils which is a major pet peeve from other restaurants so thank you for your service!
Not ashamed to admit that I’ve been here more than 4 times total. Seafood here is always as fresh as possible. They don’t skimp on any of the seasonings, garlic, or SAUCE. I’ve never had a bad outcome or terrible experience here. If you’re a seafood lover, and you enjoy seafood boils, this is definitely the spot for you. Tip: try the mix, lemon pepper and Cajun all together. 🙌🏼
If your looking for a new crawfish spot and want a little change. Give this place a try!!
It’s an Asian style crawfish joint that stays packed for a reason. It’s absolutely delicious! The mud bugs are packed with flavor!
There isn’t much more to say other than go for the crawfish.
Parking - straight up sucks! Small parking lot.
Seating - your probably going to wait in line for a while during prime time hours and weekends. But the crawfish are worth the wait. So don’t let it stop you from checking it out.
The atmosphere - its loud! Especially when it’s crowded. I don’t enjoy it, but the food makes up for it.
If it’s always packed they have to be doing something right.
I would still recommend this place to any crawfish lovers, it’s definitely worth a try.
Stopped in today for lunch and I left satisfied. I forgot to take a photo of the crawfish bread but it was really good as a appetizer. I also ordered a pound of head on shrimp and 2 pounds of crawfish with the signature sauce blend. The crawfish and shrimp were large but I was not a big fan of the sauce blend. It was not nasty but I didn’t really taste the Cajun aspect of the sauce. I would consider trying a different sauce upon returning. This place also offers wings and fried seafood options. Overall I had a decent experience and would recommend giving it a try.
It was great food. We had crawfish, snow crab, shrimp and one had shrimp po-boy. Everything was tasty. I didn't like how much garlic and stuff was on everything after we dumped the bag. But it was tasty.. The crawfish egg roll was the bomb. 3 of us spent almost $200 on 4lbs of crawfish, 1lb shrimp, 1lb snow crab, po-boy and the crawfish egg roll. All in all I would go again no problem. Service was ok. She took a while and had to ask others for drink re-fills.
All things seafood I love, Crawfish Café did not disappoint. Tasty garlic noodles & lobster. The crawfish cheese bread & crawfish egg rolls were absolutely delicious. Superb customer service, I will return. The parking, that's another story, work on that Crawfish Cafe.
The staff was friendly even tho they were short handed. They managed to get thru the rush from the Astro fans. The waitress was kind and explained the menu to us as well as recommended some great selections. The environment was a nice vibe. Our food came out in a timely manner and it was hot as well as nicely plated. We tried a little of everything and I must say we will be back. Try the signature spice on your boil items and try not to over indulge like I did.
