There's great crawfish and then there is the best crawfish experience of my entire life!!! The delicious Cajun Claws was rated GQ's top 10 restaurants in the country. A true dive bar. I even toured the kitchen where they make the magic happen & was introduced to the owner, Mr Donni -- a huge fan of my dad, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. He was as warm & welcoming as they come. A true crawfish boil master, with the most impressive technique for assuring the best flavor possible. I really enjoyed learning about the production and selection process for the best boiled crawfish Louisiana has to offer.The added bonus was getting to taste huge, select crawfish (no smallsies), seasoned to absolute perfection -- spicy and not overly salty. Delicious mixed drinks, great small beer selection that was served in a frosty mug & groovy playlist curated by Brooke, one of their most amazing associates. If you think you've had great crawfish, I beg you to take a trip to Abbeville to try this hidden gem. Their fried shrimp are amazing as well. You will not be disappointed. Call ahead to check their hours, as they are only serving during peak crawfish season & specific times to guarantee the best selection.

I live in Dallas and travel to Lafayette for work often. Everyone kept telling me to come here for the best crawfish. Well, they aren't wrong. It was phenomenal. I also had the fried shrimp after it was suggested by a friend; also delicious. I believe I was offered 4 different spice levels, I went one below the spiciest option and it was perfect. Crawfish were perfect size, peeled easily, and taste was on point. I took off 1 Star because I had to wait an hour and a half for a table. When I was finally sat I looked around and saw several open tables. I would certainly come back and you expect a decent wait at a great restaurant; but the wait was excessive.

We love love love this place and we are picky. If you want super large delicious crawfish, this is the place. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but it is amazing. The two seatings are odd but part of experience.

You have to go at 3 to put your name down to get a table. They don't open until 5. That's the downside. The crawfish Aaron great. The fried shrimp appetizer is awesome. Better to get the appetizer than the meal ($) unless you just have to have the fries and salad. Sometimes if the crawfish are plentiful, you order crawfish to go and pickup through the drive-thru. Place doesn't look like much, but the taste you'll remember and not find elsewhere.

Totally worth the 4 hour drive!! These are the best crawfish I have ever eaten. Big, juicy and huge claws. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, I've had no better. It's as though each one was hand picked. The corn, potatoes, and onions were fabulous. Will definitely be back!!!

The place was busy but the wait staff checked on us constantly. The crawfish & shrimp we dine to perfection. Both types of seafood were large. You will not find small crawfish mixed in with large so the restaurant pays attention to what they serve.
