Crawdaddy’s Bar & Grill

Great food! For a minute I thought I was back in NOLA! Ate here for the first time on a Thursday and the food was so good, and our server Julia was so nice, my wife and I came back on Saturday… and brought a friend, who was equally impressed. Julia served us again and was just as awesome! Not a «classy» restaurant by any means; it is a bar and tavern, with an L-​shaped bar and about a dozen tables. Music was not necessarily to our liking and was a tad loud but the food is so authentic, we’ll be back!

My husband and tried this place for the first time and it’s was just amazing! The service was great. The prices were resonible. And the food was just heavenly!!! It was just so delicious. I also expected with most fried foods they would all taste the same but we were very surprised because the fried food didn’t all taste the same and didn’t even taste fried. You could taste all the different flavors. And now my husband and I have been craving it and want to keep going back to try other dishes. I have family coming into town soon and after telling them how delicious it was they want to go and give it a try too. So I 100% suggest you try this place!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by Crawdaddys. I had a hankering for some Cajun and El Paso is seriously lacking in that department. Went in on a Thursday for a late lunch. Solid number of people present. I sat at the bar. It looked like the bartender (Elisa, purple hair, hard to miss) was serving the entire place. She did a great job as the service was fantastic. Water kept getting refilled, bartender checked on quality of food and my needs. The food itself came out crazy fast. I ordered the blackened shrimp po boy with side of red beans and rice. Red beans and rice came out a couple minutes later. Big chunks of meat in a flavorful broth. Hit the spot. Po boy came out a little later. I added cheese and jalapenos (came out on the side) as extras. The po boy was good. Its not going to blow anyone away but it was prepared well. They were extremely generous with the shrimp and the seasoning they used was delicious.
The menu was actually way more extensive than I expected and it took me a while to read through the dang thing. But I am definitely keen on going back and trying some of the other items on the menu. Only real draw back is they don’t have any beers on draft and I like my blue moons poured into a mug with an orange slice (so fancy, pinky finger raised up when drinking of course). But Crawdaddy’s scratched the Cajun itch and did so with great and speedy service. Check it out.

Found this restaurant on Unilocal.When we pulled up outside the location, I was tempted to drive away but decided to go ahead and give it a shot. I am so glad that we did. We had a dozen oysters, my husband had the Ettouffe and I had the crawfish Po boy. The food was excellent! Our server was great and attentive. We will most definitely go back. The only criticism is that the oysters could have been a little colder. They were plated on cubed ice instead of crushed ice. The oysters were still delicious. We were pleasantly surprised when we went to pay our tab, price was very reasonable. I would recommend this to anyone who is wanting some great cajun cooking.

My first time. 99¢ shrimp tacos and fried okra!!! I’ve found my new home!!! Great food, nice people, I can’t say enough good things!!!

Crawfish dishes are all delicious but my favorite is the ettouffe and Cajun rice. Not other spot in town serves it up like craw daddy’s. Price is very pocket friendly all the way around. $ 1.50 rolling rocks are ice cold and the severs have always been very friendly and check in often to keep you fed and refreshed with a smile. One of my favorite places to visit when I come home.

Came to eat lunch with my Co-​works. Now I am somewhat of a picky eater asked for a plain burger and fries. Even asked what came o the burger. And said to Server plain and no sauce. When burger showed up was covered in sauce. When speaking to server I asked for a bill for just the fries. Server didn’t even say a word. Just walked away while I was talking.
Now on the plus side they did not charge me but didn’t even say they were not going to charge me.
Worst service ever!

Was just ok for me. Mediocre margarita. Food didn’t make me want to come back. Very nice bartender.

The server was a sweetheart. The food was pretty good. I enjoyed it, but wouldn’t eat there on a regular basis.

We saw this place on Unilocal and it sounded good so we stopped by around 4 to beat the crowds. I must say the food was delicious the Nola fries were to die for! My husband and I split our meal along with the fries and there was more than enough food for both of us. Our youngest son had 20 wings and our oldest has a chicken poor boy and they both enjoyed their meals. Our waitress Allison was very sweet. We will defiantly be back again!

food is great and a change from the normal bar food in El Paso. the drink specials are always best on the block. The service and servers are super.

Food not bad, kinda small, little dingy, casual waitress with good personality. Luke warm beer. Would recommend for a quick stop before the game.

Bartender/​server Julie was ultra delightful! Welcoming and bubbly. Small place with eh music that is moderately loud but the price is right and its fun. Free samples and the crawfish edoufette IS delicious! P. s this town has friendly & beautiful ladies!

3^rd verse same as the 1^st! (You know you’re singing it now) great food, great service, great atmosphere! I’m a die hard groupie now! This place is the best!

this is a great place to go and get your eat on. The Bartenders are great, food excellent and no bullshit!!! seems like a your at a friends place for some good Cajun cooking. Storm and all, people were still coming in… crazy fun!!! will be back

Service is always amazing. Food is always piping hot and fresh to order. Great music selection and Just overall awesome experience whenever we come. Great food and drinks specials too!

We went on a thursday and ordered: $ 2 cocktail shrimp, fried catfish chips, jambalaya, and crawfish etoufee.
The etoufee was okay… a little too strong in taste in my opinion. It might be a personal preference thing… give it a try! Had decent amount of crawfish in it.
Jambalaya: my fiancée loved it more palatable for everyone’s taste I think. Tomato-​ketchup-​y soup base with sausage rice and vegetables. Very filling and generous amounts of sausage. No seafood in it though. Both soups came with very buttered up french bread.
Cocktail shrimp. The shrimp were tiny! But it was a decent amount of tiny shrimp in the cocktail for 2 bucks
4 or 5 chips came along with the catfish chips. They were well complemented by the tartar sauce they had.
Overall good experience and I’m glad I got to try the place out!

This is a go to spot my friends and I choose to start off the night. The only place I know of to get cheap drinks and the best NOLA foods! The wings are a must and the gumbo is my favorite. My boyfriend loves the shrimp cocktail and he prides himself in the knowledge of exactly how many shrimp are in it. (12 I believe he says) local recommended!

Crawdaddy’s has INCREDIBLE cajun food. The food is well-​seasoned, and not over-​cooked, a problem seen consistently at other restaurants. The crawfish étouffée was one of the best I have ever had (my better half said it WAS the best he’s ever had). So glad we tried this place out, will definitely be going back soon!!!

I haven’t been here in almost five years so defiantly not my first time, don’t think Unilocal even existed back then. To my surprise they have updated and upgraded their menu. I had some fried okra and crawfish étouffée and they were great. I have to start coming back here in a regular basis again. Job well done !
