Crawlins Seafood — Restaurant in Louisiana

TL;DR I ate there twice prior to MLK Day '24 while visiting NOLA. The first time, I ordered the Shrimp Po'boy, fully dressed and a small fry. It was great. Fries were very generously served. A small could serve 2 people. The shrimp were perfectly battered and well cooked on a toasty, crunchy chewy Leidenheimer style French bread. My only complaint about the sandwich that day was that the tomatoes were very thin and were the bottom of the tomato and a carefully manicured top of the stem end all half slices. Not the core of the tomato, btw. But, I'd give that visit a 4.6. The second visit, I brought the rest of my contingent of 5 people. They ordered the 70$ boiled feast, crawfish, shrimp, and crabs, as well as another, lbs of shrimp, meat pie, garlic noodles, a chicken pasta and a special request for bread slices. We never got the bread. we had to ask for the additional lbs of shrimp. However, the consensus was that they enjoyed the spread. I sampled the boil, but I had my own order to eat, criticism to follow the rest of this one. The boiled crawfish were very good. I didn't try the crab, but folks liked them. Why I would the boiled shrimp 1 star?they were mushy, hard to peel without ripping the meat apart still attached to the shell, and also the eyes of the shrimp were oblong not spherical, and heads were soft. The second lbs was slightly firmer. But again, we had to remind them what we ordered. So, my meal. Yup, a Po'boy. I asked for a fried oyster Po'boy. They were out at 2 pm on a Saturday afternoon. I love skrimps, another shrimp Po'boy. This time, I'm not sure what was up with the bread. The sandwich disintegrated as ate it, same half manicured tops and bottoms of the tomatoes. My hands covered in limp soggy bread, and mayo commented that fried was better than boiled. 2 star sammy. I'd give the restaurant a 4 star. Atmosphere isn't bad, but the music played is modern (t)rap music. So it all sounds the same. No Jazz, no Zydeco, no Blues and...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crawlins Crawfish is a hidden gem in Terrytown that delivers big on flavor and hospitality. From the moment you walk in, the ultra-clean indoor setup offers a welcome escape from the Louisiana heat. Their crawfish boils are legendary—perfectly seasoned without being overly salty, and served with a side of Southern charm.

The Shrimp Poboy and yakamine with brisket and shrimp are standouts, easily some of the best I’ve had in the area. Even off-season crawfish are fresh and reasonably priced. Staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home, even teaching newcomers how to crack and savor their seafood like pros.

Whether you're grabbing a quick takeout or settling in for a feast, Crawlins hits the mark with quality, consistency, and heart. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic NOLA...

I hate to even have to make this unpleasant review. Cause I've been going to Crawlins A LOT since they opened and have never had a problem. So I don't know what happened today. I ordered a 15 piece of hot honey chicken, get home it's just fried chicken. When I return I was asked if I wanted them remade or just the sauce put on them. I opted for fresh wings. They brought the bag back out in 5 min which let me know the wings were definitely NOT remade. And on top of it all not one apology for messing up the order. And that's what prompted me to leave this review. *Side note: I noticed on the receipt that you are charged an additional $1 for adding a flavor/sauce to your wings. The menu board has a step 1,2, and 3 of how to order the wings. And their menu in NO WAY indicates that there's an additional...
