Wow this place was packed on a Thursday night. We put our names down and went to crab some milk tea in the same complex to wait. The we got crawfish & shrimp. Shrimp are huge! Crawfish was fresh and good sizes too. Oysters weren't bad either, clean and good size. We got hot and extra hot, house special sauce and we liked the extra hot better. It's actually not that spicy (for us). Very good flavor overall. Bathroom was clean. And the shared sink area outside bathrooms for washing hands is great.

This place has the best, juiciest crawfish ever. The long wait is worth it for a reason. They serve it with amazing sauce, not dry like most places

Great place! Delicious, seasoned and flavorful seafood. Amazing customer service from the time my crew and I walked into the front doors. I ordered the build your own seafood boil mild (w/ a lil' bite) in the house sauce. My seafood boil consisted of 2 clusters of snow crab legs, 1 lb of shrimp (heads on) sausage, egg, potatoes and corn. I also ordered a side of steamed white rice to eat w/ my boil and the "crab puff" aka crab rangoon appetizer that came w/ a delicious sweet/ sour spicy dipping sauce to share. Our CA Cameron ordered the boudin balls for him and myself along w/ our fellow crew member FA "Tan" to share. They both ordered the crawfish (they wanted fresh but the server informed us shortly after we were seated that only frozen crawfish was available due to delivery truck not showing up. Tan also got herself 1 crab cluster, some shrimp, mini corn on the cobb, red potatoes, 1 sausage link, and an egg through the build your own seafood boil choices. The crab legs were delicious and the sizes we were served was impressive and a pleasant surprise for all of us. Definitely recommend stopping by if your looking for some Cajun seasoned delicious seafood boil and other great menu choices. I look forward to the many more visits I'll be having here in HOU. Apologiez for the no sound videos there was music playing n I try to avoid copyright issuez.

Price and wait time IS worth it. Took friends for the first time and they loved it too. We had the House Special Hot crawfish with mushrooms, eggs, sausage and shrimp. Super flavorful spice, clean and fresh! No BYOB. Best place for crawfish around these parts with an intimate sports bar vibe. Staff is super chill and give great recommendations. They really look like they enjoy being there and celebrate one another. Gets busy on Thursday - Sunday but if you’re pressed for time, come during the week.

Now THIS right here is my spot. I couldn’t wait to get off the plane and come straight here on Thurs 1/15...literally did exactly that. Anytime I come to Houston, The Crawfish Pot is a must. No question. They have the best boil bags, hands down. I usually order my bag Cajun style, but I didn’t catch the young lady’s name, she convinced me to try the house sauce with extra garlic, and baby… she was absolutely on point. I will definitely be ordering it that way moving forward. I had (All you need platter) snow crab, crawfish, shrimp, corn, and potatoes, seasoned to the max. Everything was flavorful, saucy, and cooked just right. The house sauce is like a mix of all their seasonings (from what she explained), and whatever it is, they got it right. Shoutout to Preston (if I’m not mistaken), the young man who rang me up, he also let me know they’re opening a second location nearby, which is dope and well deserved. Top tier every time. Highly recommend. If you’re in Houston, try them out. You will not be disappointed.

It was packed, not a big establishment. The wait was around 10 mins. Not to bad, ordered two pounds of crawfish. One with the house sauce mild . The other with medium house sauce. I loved the mild no spice at all. Tried fried oysters for the first time, they was actually really good. I wasn't expecting the turkey neck to come as a soup. The broth was good it had green onions in it. I should have known it wasn't what I expected when I was asked if I wanted rice with it. It was good I just wasn't use to it in that form. They only have pop and beer for drinks. Calvin was our server, he was amazing, very attentive and helpful while ordering. I'm definitely coming back for some more and to try other items on the menu.

Anthony at Crawfish Pot & Oysters made our whole experience amazing. He was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind from start to finish. He checked on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed. The crawfish were delicious — perfectly seasoned and worth the trip! The only downside was the long wait to be seated, but once we were at the table, Anthony’s great service really made up for it. We’ll definitely be back and asking for him again!
