Crawdad's

Great service and very good food this evening for a family dinner. Started with the fried mushrooms and fried pickles. Both appetizers were delicious and didn't feel like eating chunks of batter. The fried catfish was a hit and came with several fillets. The fried shrimp with fries received high praise. Very large shrimp. My father in law went with the grilled salmon and I ordered the ribeye steak. My steak was outstanding and a large piece of beef. I took half home. The charcoal taste was delicious.

We recently went to eat at Crawdads with a party of 11. We specifically went to celebrate a special occasion. We were told they couldn't serve us anything but bottled beer, glasses of wine and cans of High Noons due to a wedding reception they were having. Which made NO sense. Had we know this, we would have gone somewhere else. Later we found out they had lost their liquor license. For the future, be honest and tell the truth. This reflects so poorly on your establishment. Our service was incredibly slow and for the $500 we spent, we were not impressed. Food was over salted, and had sat long before we received it.

Update your online presence, please. I detoured out of my way to patronize you on a Tuesday night to find you closed.

Okay let me preface by saying it's one of the better restaurants in the area in terms of nicer food. However, there is much lacking in this restaurant's presentation. It is a pretty pricy place and we always come around thanksgiving and get a steak. Their steaks are pretty great! We got the shrimp dip and it was just lacking in presentation. There's no garnish on anything in this restaurant!!!! When you pay high prices for high quality food the presentation is necessary. The salad had the SMALLEST amount of cheese on each it was actually embarrassing! The potato doesn't come with butter you put your own on and they give you fake butter packets! Lol! It's comical! Then you ask for sour cream and it comes in a plastic container and literally has a teaspoon in it! They act so cheap about it! The shrimp dip needs some cheese and chives on top! At fine dining, these little things create the experience that makes you want to spend the price. I've worked in the restaurant industry all my life and I know when a man is in charge of the presentation. It typically lacks! Take pride in your food! We had a large group of 20 people and the waitress Mary did very well, but you could tell that for a Saturday night, during Black Friday weekend, it should and could have been more packed! Small changes people!! Makes the difference!!

Food was excellent. Had crawfish for the first time and they were fantastic. Steak was great and service was excellent. Great hunting decor.

Really good food, but the name is a bit misleading. Don't expect a lot of Cajun food choices. Be aware that entrees do not include sides. A bit disappointed in the lack of French bread or cornbread. No Cajun or southern food should be served without it. Only bland toast available if you ask for it. Great service although my waiter couldn't answer any of my questions about the animal mounts. Great atmosphere. Very outdoorsy.

Great catfish dinner. Never disappointed. I can't wait to go back. They provide great service and they are friendly.

If I could give a minus 5 star rating, I would! Ambiance, the early hunting lodge motif is well executed with dusty spider-web covered animal "trophies" decorating the walls. The place feels like it hasn't been thoroughly cleaned in years and the toilets are a violation of the sanitary code. In addition, the design of the building, or lack thereof, makes it impossible to carry on a conversation.Abysmal service from arrogant teenagers made any evaluation of food quality impossible. Service moved with the speed of a glacier causing our orders to be served over a thirty minute period. Food for a table should be served at the same time. For the price I expect fresh butter and sour cream, not packets like a fast-food restaurant. Our person "taking care of us" as she said, gets an F. She was inattentive and came with a healthy case of bad attitude. Then there is the hostess/cashier...When we finally got our check I was astonished that a "mandatory" 20% gratuity was included. Given the horrible service I told the teenager at the counter that I wouldn't pay it, given our cold food and poor service. I asked to speak to the manager who NEVER made an appearance after repeated requests. No apologies were made, only the excuse that there was a wedding party being served at the same time. Clearly, there was a decision made to maximize profit and bring in necessary staff to serve all the guests. This is another example of GREED driving a business.Finally, I started to pay the bill, less gratuity, and was told that if I did pay the total bill the police would be called. This totally unacceptable behavior. I paid the entire bill and will never go back.Horrible service, petulant and rude teenagers for staff, and sub-par food, make this is a place to avoid!

Love so much about Crawdad's! I have been a customer from the early days when they sold crawdads from a small spot on old hwy 61. They have modernized and even offer sushi that is very innovative. There steaks are the best for miles and miles. Also, they host live music making this small town a destination for many parties. It is large enough to host special events and a great back screened in porch for variety of space!

Food is always good. I like the atmosphere but liked it more at the old place (circa 90s); food too, but not throwing shade.
