Reel Seafood & Bar

Service and crawfish both were impeccable. Alex was our server and he was the best. Alex is very attentive and suggested flavors that deliver that taste you crave for in a crawfish boil. I ordered the crawfish flavor mix with Tom Yum, garlic butter and Cajun that put me in Crawfish Heaven. The potato portion is huge. I searched for a crawfish spot that could deliver the flavor I missed from the Seafood Spot that closed on 59S and Murphy Rd. This place didn't disappoint and I will be a regular now. The grilled oysters and Honey Cajun chicken wings were also so delicious.I like that they provide bibs and gloves as other spots I visited did not.Give this spot a try and request Alex as your server.

Service was good, food not so much.No wait on a weeknight. Staff was super attentive and friendly.We ordered:-oysters -shrimp - this was overcooked, it was so difficult to eat -crawfish - half of our crawfish were mushy and inedible. it made me sad because that's the entire reason we came-fries -wings - we ordered spicy garlic and omg it was TERRIBLE lol the flavor was incredibly offputting. do NOT get that flavorWith other crawfish places, I likely won't be back for a while.

Came her last night for the crawfish and it was SO GOOD! I got a pound of Cajun mild crawfish and my friend got a pound of garlic butter mild crawfish. We also got corn and potatoes. The crawfish was delicious and there was a mix of big, medium, and small crawfish. We also got the fried green beans and friend okra (not pictured) which were amazing as well.The service was great, are waiter was really nice and attentive. The restaurant was very clean and nice, it's only been here for a little less than a year and I can't believe I didn't find this place sooner. I also liked how they gave us bibs and gloves for crawfish. I will definitely be back!!

REEL-ly great seafood here. Crawfish was pretty big despite the rough season this year. Tom yum flavor was unique and delicious. Very fragrant and spicy. Thai chili wings were super crispy and tangy. Crab legs were quite meaty and fresh, great happy hour price as well. Garlic noodles were so simple yet so so delicious... highly recommend. Loved the catfish because they were such big yet crispy, delicious pieces. Fried rice was a bit bland but since everything was already packed with flavor I didn't mind it! Michelada was delicious as well. Friendly service was appreciated. I also liked the sinks out in the open! Will definitely be coming back here for future crawfish seasons.

Love this place for asian style crawfish! Delicious flavors and a great selection of sides. I love to start off with a michelada and my friend loves their margaritas. The garlic butter is my favorite crawfish flavor and I love adding edamame and their spicy sausage. I do wish the oysters and crawfish were bigger sized, but they're still pretty good for this time of year. The beignets sticks are nonnegotiable for dessert too!! This place is a MUST for crawfish season!Sometimes there is a long wait around dinner time and weekends but service has been great every time I've been.

Reel Seafood is undoubtedly a standout in the Heights / Oak Forest scene, particularly for its exceptional crawfish offerings. The simple, laid-back interior puts the focus squarely on the food, and rightly so. The Cajun hot crawfish with quail eggs and edamame is nothing short of spectacular - seasoned to perfection and bursting with flavor. Reel Seafood has undoubtedly earned its reputation for serving some of the best crawfish in Houston, making it a must-visit for seafood lovers in the area.

Yay!!!They got crawfish and shrimp down. We ordered hot Cajun garlic butter. Not mega spicy just right. Love that I don't have to drive to china town that was my usually.Along with that had the Reel fries. Yummy and flavorful. Not pictured. We were there around 5 and not packed but closer 6 there was a wait.

5 stars for one of the best flavors in Houston!We had a very limited time in Houston and wanted to see what the best crawfish boil/ seafood boil there was in the area and Yelpers came through! 2 lbs of crawfish (garlic butter), 1 lb shrimp ( tom yum and garlic butter combo) 1 blue crab ( garlic butter) , 1 cluster crab legs ( garlic butter) -- all mild.All fresh and well cooked, crawfish season was going on and the crawfish was fresh and big. All these sauces were so good we were just trying to get as much on each bite as we can. All winners in my book! You can combine sauces- we did that for the shrimp, which was Tom Yum and garlic butter per our server's recommendation. My husband ordered the friend honey spiced shrimp-- get this!! Such a big portion and the shrimp were not skimpy. They came butterflied and lightly battered and flavored and drizzled. So light and crunchy but also tender. Hard to describe!We also got their broiled oysters Vietnamese style which is topped off with shallots green onions garlic and lemongrass so good !Prices are fair, interior is clean and modern, restrooms are clean and airy, bar is stocked well. High tops and booths also. Private/ shared lot. Service is friendly and prompt. Will highly recommend this and we will be back!

Stopped in with my husband and stepson. Had a variety of the foods. Started off with shrimp and corn and potatoes. They were great. It is a wet style sauce which allows you to combine flavors. Medium Cajun garlic butter is our favorite. The garlic noodles will keep vampires away for sure. The crawfish also were tasty. It is great way for each person to get something they would like. The hush puppies had us all wanting more. Tom yum oysters were different but in a good day. Our glasses stayed fairly full. The waiter and others would stop by to check in. They provided bibs along with gloves. Each table is covered with a paper sheet which allows them easy clean up. It isn't anything too fancy but nice clean environment. Honestly looking around at others food made me want to try even more next time.

Great experience! We enjoyed the food and the service. I recommend it all. Having a Bar is a nice as well.
