The service was absolutely fantastic!!! The fried fish was delicious, so tender, so flavorful!! The fried alligator was amazing as well, the fried shrimp, the gumbo!! The fish melted in my mouth lol.. may be the best fish I have ever had!

So we went today September 10 2021 order takeout. When we got in the place they gave us the menu so we can decide what to order.We ordered Seared Salmon, Shrimp Scampi a sweet tea and crab cakes (Jumbo)When we ordered we waited 47 minutes for the food and they didn 't give us the check to pay. We then decided to check on our order because they didn 't tells us about the order. The order was already ready but they didn 't tell us. When we got our ordered we decided to check if the order was correct.We open the bags and we got 3 of the orders right but we didn 't get our bread pudding and our Jumbo Crab cakes so we went to tell them about the bread pudding and they said Ok, i will get you one right now . A few minutes later we get out bread pudding like in picture number 2 and it did not include the sauce that said in the menu.We go back to tell them about the sauce and they give us the sauce and the crab cakes so we then get the bread pudding and the sauce and Ice Cream.When we get our Jumbo crab cakes they gave us this (Picture 1). We asked if those were the (Jumbo Crab Cakes) and he said Yes that is our Jumbo Crab Cakes . I will mention the food had great taste but i will never order takeout.

Good food. I had the Mardi Gras Salad with unsweetened tea. The salad was very flavorful and good sized. All the meals were good sized and filling. They were busy around 12:30/12:40 ehen we arrived but where able to pull together a table for a large group of 8. Waitstaff was very attentive,helpful,and communicated very well. Kids meals were great for small children with small appetites.

Located west of Interstate 49 on Union Street you'll find Pappas Crawfish House and Grill. I had an awsome Seafood Gumbo and Oyster PoorBoy. The gumbo was seasoned and flavored with shrimp and crawfish. The Oyster Poor Boy had large fresh fried oysters with lettuce and tomatoes and lightly sauces on a toasted hogie bun plus fresh fries and perfect sweet T. Reasonably priced and worth the visit for lunch.

Had lunch yesterday at the Crawfish House Grill, tucked away in a little strip shopping center almost across the street from Sonic, on Union Street in Opelousas, LA. This has to be Opelousas' best kept secret, but what a wonderful hidden gem! This was not my first time there, but it has recently changed ownership and it had been some time since I had been in that area at the right time to stop in for a bite. We were cheerfully greeted when we walked in the door and quickly led to a booth. Service was prompt, and in no time at all it seemed we had our drinks, and it didn't take long for our fried alligator appetizer to arrive. It was the most tender and tastiest fried alligator I've ever had, bar none!! The menu has a wonderful variety of meal choices and it does not disappoint! I glanced around at the other tables and found myself wanting to try everything because it all looked so good and everyone was enjoying their food. That in and of itself spoke volumes to me, and I knew I would be happy with my meal. I was beyond happy! After our meal, our waitress gave us an impressive list of desserts and we decided to go with the bread pudding with pecan praline sauce. It was amazing!!! Do yourself a favor and stop in at the Crawfish House Grill and be prepared to leave with a very full tummy and a smile on your face. They do not skimp on food quantity or quality! Can't wait to go back!!!
