Crawdaddy's - Cookeville

Great Sunday brunch, waitress was excellent, food was delicious (strawberry waffle sausage) great restored building. Looking forward to a dinner in future. Kid-friendliness: Multiple families with children.

The food and service were fantastic. Definitely worth a visit, and we plan to return!

The restaurant was quite crowded, so the service wasn't the best. They undercooked my husband's food and also forgot the shrimp that was supposed to accompany it. The meal was decent, but it was too expensive to put up with these issues.

Wow, this food was incredible! I tried the rack of lamb, which was my first time having that dish, and now I can't get enough of it! Once you taste it with the sauce, you'll never enjoy another meal without thinking, "I wish this were a rack of lamb from Crawdaddy's." It's definitely worth any wait and every penny spent; the food is just that good! I came for the gator bites, which were fantastic, and I stayed for the crab cakes that I already knew I would love, but the lamb completely took me by surprise. I give it a perfect 10 out of 10 and I will definitely be back!

I have eaten at Crawdaddys for years and would typically rate it a 3.75-4 stars. It’s not my top choice in Cookeville, but it is a Sunday and not much is open. To start, I ordered an espresso martini. It came out lukewarm, tasting like bad chocolate milk, and looking like frothy dishwater. Our server never came to check on us so I had to sit with it for 20 minutes waiting to order something else. Next, we had mussels which were by far the worst any of us had ever had in our lives, covered in canned tomatoes. The jambalaya and Cajun pasta were completely tasteless and left mostly uneaten. Lastly, one of us ordered the shrimp po boy and had to pick the shrimp off as the bread was hard as a rock (see photos, it wouldn’t let me post a video which was us knocking it on the table)… This is my first time leaving a bad review for a business, but we got an appetizer and meals and are leaving hungry. We were also neglected by our server, but the outdoor patio was nice.
