    I read the reviews on Google and saw it had over a 4 star rating so I was ready to try the restaurant. Plus I really wanted some jambalaya. Unfortunately, this is not the place to go for it. My rice was a mixture of hard and soft grains and the meat did not taste like sausage. Plus, I've been to New Orleans and the Jambalaya I know is not watery. The shrimp was seasoned and honestly, I could have just ate the shrimp and sent the rest of the bowl back. I always try and give places a second chance but I'm really debating if I should.

    For starters, we walked in the door and immediately felt uncomfortable. I’m more understanding than my husband so I let it go. We walked straight in to the bar and the guy bartender with long blonde hair basically looked at us like why are you here. So I said Hi, we’re here to get something to eat. He said okay find a seat anywhere. We sat and he came and asked us what we wants to drink and my husband told him then I was a about alcoholic beverages (I didn’t know what I wanted so asked for recommendations) I asked for an old fashion and he said he couldn’t make it and I said oh well what can you make me? He said I don’t know and basically made me look/ feel dumb about not knowing what they had or what I wanted. So I told him don’t worry about it. Then I looked over the menu and saw a few drinks they had on the back of the menu and asked for one. It tasted like juice and had little to no alcohol. Fast forward to the food. The shrimp etouffee was really peppery and spicy. So if you don’t like spice, don’t order. My husband and I both got the “seafood combo” (Not named that). But the crawfish tails were SALTY, my fish my blackened and BURNT, my husband’s was burnt on the outside and RAW on the inside (still don’t know how the cook did that). The 4 shrimp was the best thing we had (not great) from there. (He did comp my husbands food because of the raw fish) $30 for something that was horrible. Waste of money! Will not be returning. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!

    This is definitely a “don’t judge a book by its cover“ kind of place. The food here is amazing! Small bar, nothing fancy with cool music and great food. Food portions are huge, well seasoned, and well priced. I’m only in El Paso for a couple of months but will be eating here again🙂.

    Food is always good. Tables need to be cleaned as soon as customers leave, I hate getting there and I have to ask to clean my table, (it has happened more than 2x) and it's not even busy. Other than that it's a good place to east.

    Hands down the best crawfish etouffee I’ve ever had. Julie was super awesome with serving up drinks and amazing food. Great evening crowd of locals hanging at the bar.

    The food is very bland and they seem to think loading pepper is the solution. The etoufee only tasted like pepper. the jambalaya was too loose and watery. it tasted like a tomato stew more than jambalaya. The prices on their site are also not up to date so everything was +$10 when I went to pay. Overpriced pepper, do not recommend the food. 0 out of 5 stars.

    Seafood is great. Had a stout, my friend tried a trash can... Great way to celebrate a awesome day. Plater was nice but left wanting blackened fish. Oh well guess I know what I order next time. I can probably order random menu items and still be impressed. Being that we live so far from any coastal waters it's a great reminder of living on the beach. Your local hippie gives you a handful of thumbs up... Thanks neighbors.

    The NOLA fries were absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!! Every single bite was full of FLAVOR. The barge was enough for me to have an extra meal for the next day!!!! Did I mention how ROBUST the flavors were in each selection as well. The staff were very friendly to my family of 6 and our food arrived quite quickly!!!! I'd definitely recommend CRAWDADDY'S and look forward to enjoying yet another meal!

    Went here with my daughter who lives in El Paso afterThanksgiving fr that Saturday night. She's told me about this bar and how she loved it here staff, drinks, food when we talked on the phone and she said it was one of 3 places she wanted me to experience when i visit. The atmosphere

  • 5/5 José David C. 1 year ago on Google
    The shrimp jambalaya is delicious! Full of flavor, just a tad spicy, and the shrimps are cooked very well and juicy! I got takeout and it was ready in a short time!

  • 5/5 Sean W. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice place if you're looking for cajun seafood or catfish alligator beer. Very reasonable price. Go miners

  • 5/5 Jolene R. 11 months ago on Google
    Love this place, the food is amazing!! It's a but noisy to eat comfortably and the poor waitress can barely get through. But I'd still go back. I love their food.

  • 5/5 Jason B. 10 months ago on Google
    I haven't lived here for a decade and this place is still the same and great!!! The grilled crawfish are great and the normal sauce is amazing, be careful with the turbo sauce, but if you like hot it will not disappoint!!! Great place for sure. Its good to see something familiar in a town that has changed so much.

    I went for my birthday party, couldn't remember leaving. But the food was amazing and the drinks were flowing. It's a staple of Cinci street for a reason

  • 5/5 Elizabeth R. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite thing to eat in El Paso is the blackened chicken pasta from here. Nothing beats it. It’s soooo good. Usually the workers aren’t the best but the food makes up for it 😂

  • 5/5 D P. 1 year ago on Google
    It's time to get a new cook,the past 2 years I've came here and the food was great,I'm from Louisiana and this was the only place in the city I could come and the food tasted close to home but yesterday the gumbo and jambalaya was a tad too spicy even tho I like spice and the crawfish ettoufee is supposed to be red NOT brown so I didnt even eat it,and the catfish was brown NOT golden so either they cooked it old grease that needs to be changed or just flat out fried the fish too long🤷🏿‍♂️I was a little disappointed because I brought my mom there for lunch to try it for the first time and she wasn't impressed,we even got into an argument after we left🤦🏿‍♂️

    Food was ok. A bit on the salty side but it was edible. This was my first time trying the fried alligator.....it tastes like chicken 🤣. My husband liked his burger though.

    very tasty crawfish etouffee over blackened catfish

  • 1/5 Quise 1 year ago on Google
    This place is terrible don’t come here, their bartenders add their own tips without permission. I called 5 times throughout the week to speak to a manager and finally the manager got back in contact with me and said “she doesn’t know if I left the tip or not” I’m literally telling her i didn’t because the bartender was rude which is why I didn’t leave a tip, just don’t come here

    Use to go there all the time in the late 90s. Wings aren't what they used to be, but food is really good and cool "Cajun" atmosphere!

  • 5/5 Star W. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was great! We had fried pickles, mushrooms, crawfish tails and okra. Po’Boy sandwiches, I had fish, my friends had shrimp. The drinks were cheap and strong and the service was excellent! Will go there again👍🏾👍🏾

    Second time here. No Shown is the blackened chicken and shrimp pasta plate. These here is a shrimp bowl in lemon pepper seasoning. Also ordered some gumbo. Very delicious flavors.

    Went for dinner and had the chicken Caesar salad. It was great, I especially liked the Cajun flavored chicken. It added a different twist to the meal.
