Reviews for Lafayette Cajun Seafood Restaurant in Houston, TX

I was shocked to see that this Cajun restaurant is run by Mexicans the food wasn't bad. The crab fingers are actually good but I... should've gotten them steamed instead of fried I didn't like the batter that they fry them in but overall the crab fingers aregood ????????. The dirty rice with the trout fried fish was not bad it could've had more seasoning and fried a little bit longerfor an extra crisp. The steak meal was everything the mashed potatoes and the veggies were seasoned we'll and the steak wascooked to my liken. Read more

The food is super delicious but than again I keep ordering the same thing. The staff is just as awesome as the food and so... pleasant. The patrons appear to be usuals/regulars from the looks at how their greeted. I've been to this place 3x within a weekso I would highly suggest trying it out before you drive pass this hidden gem.

Nice place, great food. We went a day with a country band but waiters were not prepared to have a crowded place. They were... turning crazy with so many people. Recommended. Again another day and was much better. Read more

Crawfish Review- Lafayette Cajun has good crawfish, medium large and no fishy smell. The seasoned boil mix for some reason is... dry when the crawfish are served, none to be seen at the bottom. Small corn and potato. The drawn butter is the best I've everseen or tasted at any restaurant, hi praise! The rest of the authentic Louisiana style menu looks very accomplished and will tryafter crawfish season. I would come back for crawfish. Read more

First time eating here. We sat looking at reviews while we waited, and saw that slow service was a common issue. The waiter is... also the owner, and possibly the cook. We ordered a variety of items, the fried alligator appetizer, the boudin ball appetizer,the catfish and etouffee lunch special (with a redbeans & rice sub), the shrimp and oyster plate & a side of garlic bread. Thealligator came out first. The flavor was great (probably the highlight of the meal) but the batter was soft and mushy peelingoff the meat inside, which was disappointing. Next was the boudin balls. The batter on these was a little crispier than thealligator, but the boudin filling was just decent. It lacked some spices and the texture was a bit more mushy than I care for.The best ones I've ever had fall somewhere just in the middle. I've eaten at a few places on what Louisiana calls "the boudintrail" a tour guide of the best ranked boudin restaurants in Louisiana. Then our main entrees arrived. The catfish had decentflavor, the majority of it was of a thickness that it wasnt dry or chewy. It had a little bit of a fishy flavor, but wasnt bad.The etouffee was probably my 2nd favorite item. It was mushy however, due to what seemed to be crushed rice as a thickenerrather than flour and cream. It was similar to a thick rice soup. The flavor however was really good, had some spice, wasntfishy at all and was filling, an order of this on a cold rainy day would hit the spot.. I gave my friend some and they agreed itwas one of the better items. My friend was most impressed by the alligator as well, but said it was amazing when put on top ofthe garlic toast like a po-boy. The last glitch in the visit came at checkout. I noticed my total was nearly the same as myfriends, yet he had ordered a more expensive meal & appetizer. I went back inside, the owner re-added everything twice andrefunded me the difference of about $6. While it was one of the more expensive meals of our trip, and ov Read more

Food was decent, but definitely not Cajun/Creole. I got the Lafayette pasta with chicken. Chicken wasn?t well seasoned. Boudin... balls were better then the actual main course. Service was above average. Read more

Gumbo was good. Crackers were STALE WHEN SERVED with the GUMBO. I asked the older Mexican guy taking our order and serving our... food and he Stated that it WASN'T HIS PROBLEM and there was a shortage of CRACKERS! He continued with THINGS are HARD to GETright now..Other than that the my guy's Seafood Platter was Good and my Lobster and shrimp Pasta was good BESIDES my OVERCOOKEDRUBBER LOBSTER TAIL that I couldn't cut with a butter knife...3 Stars because flavor was good. I won't be returning, HappyEating Guys! Read more

C for effort. It was our first time here and when we walked in, we wasn't greeted or even acknowledged. When we seated ourselves... we waited almost ten minutes before my guy friend got up to get menus. Once we finally ordered it took over 20 min for the onionrings and oysters. Onion rings were too too salty. For the entrée fish had no seasoning and the lobster & shrimp pasta was likea great value Pappaduex. This was a meal and service I definitely did NOT enjoy. Read more
