It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas? Nope…crawfish season! I’ve never loved a crustacean more than when I see a big tray of freshly boiled Louisiana crawfish coming my direction. YUM!
But where do you find the best crawfish in Southwest Louisiana? I went to Trip Advisor to see where people find their crawdads – fresh or boiled.

We went here for the crawfish and it was worth the visit. We ordered the 5lbs. Special and got fries also. We also got coleslaw. The food was good and we got our fill. Messy and worth the money.

I only get my boiled crawfish from Cody's - he purges them very well, so they're very clean and the spice content is spot on. You will not be sorry if you come here!

Probably one of the best places in Lake Charles to eat crawfish. They do cater as well and we used him for a party out our house. Great price and comes with all the fixens.

Best crawfish in town! Seasoned to perfection! Nice ice-cold beer to wash them down with too! Try their stuffed pistolettes also! Yummmm!
