"Crawdaddy's is old school fine dining in downtown Visalia. They have a full bar downstairs and a large elegant dining room upstairs with another bar. It was pretty empty for an early dinner. We were seated immediately. Service was very attentive. They have a modest wine list but it is good quality. The Caesar salad and crab cakes were both excellent - flavorful and well prepared. I even snagged a bite of the etoufee which was similarly well prepared.I will definitely be back. Great service, reasonable prices and lots of options in an elegant and quiet environment."
"Cool little bar if your visiting and want to get out on the urban scene. Definitely cool for locals. I preferred being in the outside area due to it being more relaxed and calm versus inside but overall had a good time"
"My partner and I chose this restaurant on our way down from Sequoia National Park, to celebrate our brand new engagement. We loved the Yelp photos of the food and the cool outdoor dining patio. When we arrived, it was pretty busy and with no host check in area, kind of difficult to tell where to get a table. After about 5 minutes, someone came to us to help us get seated. We opted for outside, it was cold that night but they have heaters around the tables. Also, worth noting the indoor seating area is small and dining outdoor gives you more elbow room (we had a stroller).The waiter came to take our drink order and although the staff was busy, he had a great attitude and was very kind. We were starving and luckily the wait for the food wasn't long at all. The plates came out looking delicious and everything tasted so good.When paying our check, we did notice once we got to the car that we paid the wrong tables bill. The difference was like $10 or so. My fiancé went back in to get it corrected and they were quick to void and recharge the right bill.Note: The restrooms were pretty messy and could use some TLC. I had to struggle with the doorknob for a few minutes as the door was stuck closed in the women's restroom side when I was trying to exit.Overall, cool spot with great food!"

This is such a cool atmosphere; Visalia y'all are moving on up. New Orleans meets Downtown Visalia. Holidays are select menu options. Weekend evenings are live music; which is pretty cool. Ordered the bayou prawns and rice ; omg that sauce is killer; I ate it on my rice and my shrimp and almost licked the plate. I was eyeballing it for sure. I want that receipe. My husband ordered the grilled calamari; different texture; not heavy ; however I did miss the crispyness of being fried lol. Bring on the grease lol. I must say it was tasty though and much healthier option. The bar makes drinks like hurricanes and all the cocktails you find in NOLA. Two floors to dine in and a bar ; I will be back !

Awesome food. Fried calamari and baked potato with choice of meat are my faves. The tri tip pizza is amazing, too. Service is always fast and friendly.The line dancing lessons are fun.
