⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | A Flavor Explosion in The Heights! ​If you’re looking for that authentic Viet-Cajun soul in the heart of The Heights, Crawfish Cafe is absolutely hitting the mark. We kicked things off with the Crawfish Beignets and the Shrimp Garlic Noodles, and both were incredible starters. The beignets were fluffy and savory, while the garlic noodles provided that perfect, buttery comfort to get us ready for the heat. ​For the main event, we dove straight into the 1lb Spicy Viet-Cajun Basil Crawfish and the Fish and Chips with sweet potato Cajun fries. The crawfish were spectacular—the aromatic basil mixed with that signature spicy kick is exactly what Viet-Cajun is all about. However, the real sleeper hit was the fish; it was incredibly fresh and flaky, easily becoming my favorite part of the

My friend and I come here for our usual hangout ! I love love the oysters, corn in a cup, fried okra and the calamari. The lychee drinks are amazing!!! Our server Bao was absolutely amazing! Very attentive and got the job done!! My friend got the crawfish! Which she said was very fresh !!

The crawfish etouffee from here was seasoned extremely well with excellent portion size. I would re-visit here for this dish alone! The boiled crawfish was good as well. Only feedback is... wish there was better bundle deals for the boils. For example, crawfish, potatoe, and corn for a set amount. Other then that, highly recommend this place!

When we arrived we were told it would be a 20 minute wait. It actually only took about 7 minutes for us to be seated. We were greatted promptly and our food and drinks came out super fast for how busy they were. I had the garlic noodles with crawfish and it was delicious. 10/10 though they are on the pricy side.

Man this place is by far the best overall experience ever! Food, service, vibes; I wish I could carry this experience with me everywhere I go! It speaks volumes about the leadership! I ordered the flounder with gumbo and garlic noodles, and a lb of grail crawfish 🦞!!! BIG BACK!!! Dancing and singing while eating was an understatement!! GO! ORDER IT!!! Don’t second guess it!! Just don’t sit by that air vent unless it’s mid July or August!! Yeesh!!!
