A friend told me about Lazy J and we decided to try it yesterday. The crawfish and shrimp have great flavors. Definitely took care of my cravings. The staff was helpful and the food was brought out quickly. It's BYOB, so bring your cooler. Also only some of the tables had umbrellas, not sure if more umbrellas were available. As we were leaving, the manager told us there would be a band playing later and they would also be serving barbecued alligator. Unfortunately I could not make it back.

The crawfish was so good. They have live music and the chill vibe. I used to live in Louisiana and the crawfish here tasted great, remind me the Boil and Go in Lake Charles, LA. The owner is from Louisiana also.

Had a really great first time experience here! We had the jumbo shrimp with corn and potatos and crawfish, both were delicious. Ask about the remoulade sauce, it's really good as well. Outdoor/Backyard vibe. They had a band there and that went really well with the setting. The staff was very friendly and attentive as well.

I love the vibe here. The best thing about it is BYOB. I brought my favorite drink, mango margarita from HEB and just asked for a cup of ice. The servers are really nice. We got a pound of shrimp and pound of crawfish. They were tasty.

What a cool lil outdoor crawfish place. Perfectly seasoned bugs in addition to boiled shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes and their famous homemade banana pudding. This is a cash only restaurant and byob. Live music every Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Avoid the hectic areas in New Braunfels & Gruene and check out this friendly spot!

Absolutely best crawfish I have had. I love traveling and I can say these are even better than what I’ve had through out Louisiana. Great out door patio and the live band gave it a fantastic ambiance. Staff is super friendly, professional and on point. I highly recommend stopping in and giving it a try.

Very nice atmosphere and kid and pet friendly. Live music was fun and didn't overpower the experience. Crawfish were a little over cooked and under seasoned but still good for the area. Boiled shrimp were excellent.

I’ve driven down Hunter Rd most of my life & took notice a few years back that this place has been done up. Finally decided to try it and I’m glad I did. I’m a huge fan of eating Fried, grilled or blackened catfish. I was blown away by the taste and texture of their Catfish. It was the Best yet, that I have eaten. My husband who isn’t a fan of Catfish at all, was also blown away by a forced taste test. Turned out he ended up eating half of it. That should speak volumes to how good it is. It was served over white sticky rice and I had the etouffe on the side. I will say I’m more of a rice pilaf gal, however the white rice actually balanced out the taste and the heat of the Cajun blackened catfish. Since it was our first time here, My husband ordered the hamburger to play it safe. He said it was good, but agreed he was impressed w/the Catfish. The overall ambiance of the location is very very casual and feels as if your in your own backyard. We went in and it was just the chef & waiter working. The waiter was a young HS student, however he was very attentive and pleasant to just have a casual conversation with as we ate. As it was w/the Chef, who went on to explain why the catfish we ate was delicious. He explained It was a Yellow catfish, which obviously makes a Huge difference in taste. For dessert we had their banana pudding and it was delicious. I took half of it home to let my picky daughter try it. She gobbled it right up and left the bowl clean. We are definitely going back. Maybe will try the King Crab legs or Aligator😋

The first visit the crawfish was great. The second was a complete waste of money. It was so soggy and mushy, bland and cold, it was awful and was so hard to try to peel and get anything. Left hungry and disappointed. Expected better from fellow southeast Texans-owned restaurant. Second visit: May 6th at 6pm

Love the atmosphere! The waiter, which I can not remember his name even though I asked it three times, was impeccable! The food was next to garbage. I won't even be taking my plate that I couldn't stomach to my dog. The shrimps in this were almost like what you would get in a cup of ramen. The gator was undercooked and chewy. Such a disappointment since my tab was $80. Yall got me🤡

My friends and I were looking for a good crawfish/ Crab leg place to go and eat in New Braunfels Texas, and needless to say we were not at all pleased by Lazy J. First off customer service was great but when we got to the food portion that’s where it went south. We got an order of boudin and it was bland, it had no flavor and my friend said it tasted gritty and like it came from Walmart😕. Secondly we got elote and that was probably the best part of our meal, it was creamy and very flavorful. We ordered all you can eat crab legs and the first batch was very yummy and pleasing but then the second batch was uncooked and ice cold to the touch . Our 4 pounds of crawfish that we ordered came out and they were very dirty not washed at all. We didn’t let that discourage us but when it came to trying the crawfish is again had absolutely no flavor and tasted uncooked, the tails were black after peeling away the shell, and it was an immediate no for us all. We also ordered the Cajun chicken sandwiches and my friends didn’t even finish them, the meat was still pink and AGAIN they said it had no flavor and the flavor it did has was gritty and was not enjoyable. We will not be going back to lazy j for seafood anymore, again the customer service was great but the food overall was very displeasing and had us wanting to leave after the first two bites.
