This place was awesome! We were passing through otw back to Texas and ate here. The food was . I got so stuffed. Ordered appetizers and dessert and everything was great

The fried catfish was very very good. A hefty plate for $23.99. The pasta sauce was not as flavorful as it appears, but it was still okay. I don't eat off of silverware due to sensory issues, upon asking for plastic utensils, I was informed there would be a charge, just for one, hand wrapped. Although, it didn't hurt to pay for it.....customer appreciation. I would definitely eat here again though.

Really busy when we visited but staff did a good job of getting us served. Loud background noise so hard to have a conversation. Chicken & Sausage Gumbo was good & so was the fish tacos. Bread Pudding with Whiskey sauce really topped off the meal.

Stopped by here leaving south of Shreveport. The food was amazing, service was even better. Brian was my server and he was amazing and ontop of everything. He recommended lots of dif dinner ideas. I went with the Cajun Alfredo and it was to die for. Fried crawfish tail were spot on as well. FYI: Go ahead and ask for a to go box. Has parking for Semis in the back..

On a cross-country road trip and made a stop in Shreveport, looked up the best place to eat and Crawdaddy’s did not disappoint. Flavorful, juicy boiled shrimp and they were able to accommodate lactose intolerance/dairy free. I am also gluten free and I was okay. Honestly, best shrimp I’ve had in a long long time. My partner got the shrimp & grits and loved it. Please go if you’re in the area!

The food was delicious, especially the crawfish supreme. The waitress was really kind and attentive. I would come here again!

No muffaletta but the disappointment stopped there. Shrimp was cooked right! Nice and spicy. Sausage was great. I can’t remember ever having better service than Darius provided behind the bar. Thanks for the good meal!

In need of a new favorite Cajun restaurant, we started a search. One of our first locations to try sounded very promising. Crawdaddy's Kitchen offers all of our favorites and had sampler platters that gave us a good selection. We had the Acadiana seafood platter and the Cajun sampler platter. With these, we got to try their chicken and andouole gumbo, crawfish etouffee, red beans and rice, crayfish, shrimp, catfish and hush puppies. This provided a wonderful variety of their delicious food. This made them a potential favorite and we hope to return and try more of their menu. Our server was Meka, C. - Great experience and answered all of our questions.
