My friend and I came by on a Sunday night and it was pretty busy so we waited about 20 minutes before getting seated. The crawfish was $9.99 a pound that day so we ended up ordering: 1lbs of crawfish w/Tom Yum 1 lbs of crawfish w/Mix (cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper) 1 lbs of crawfish w/garlic butter and lemon pepper For spice level, we got medium for all three and we also ordered some corn and potatoes. It’s still a little early in the crawfish season so they were on the smaller size but the flavors and spice were perfect. My favorite was the Tom Yum seasoning. The corn and potatoes were also great! Our server was great- she helped with recommendations and always checked to see if our water cups were full. Delicious food and wonderful service. Can’t wait to come back when the crawfish are bigger!

Really good crawfish here. Everything was cooked just right and full of flavor not bland at all. The portions were solid and the corn and potatoes were great too. The vibe was chill and the staff (Ashley, Kevin, and Alvin) was friendly which made the whole experience better. Definitely a spot we would come back to.

Stopped by Reel Seafood in the Houston Heights and it did not disappoint. The live crawfish with the tom yum flavor were amazing, and the fries were really good. Great spot.

If you’re craving mouth-watering seafood with bold flavor, this place is fire. From the second you sit down, the vibe hits you — casual, lively, and perfect for a meal with friends or family. They nail that Viet-Cajun fusion with crazy good seasoning and sauce that makes every dish taste next-level.  Whether you’re digging into crawfish, crab, shrimp, oysters, or wings, everything is flavorful, saucy, and seasoned just right. The portions are solid and the food always comes out hot and fresh — you can tell they put work into every plate.  Love the little touches too: they hook you up with quality gloves (not the cheap stuff), and the hand-washing station is clutch after a messy seafood feast. Great service, big screens for games, and fun specials like crawfish deals and oyster nights make it a spot you’ll wanna come back to again and again.  If seafood with personality and killer flavors is what you’re after, Reel Seafood delivers in spades — highly recommend! 🦞🔥

The food was good here. I had the crawfish, they were small because its not officially crawfish season but they were seasoned great. The fried fish was delicious as well as the pasta. The server had too many tables but he tried his best to check on us as much as possible

Came here with my family for crawfish and it exceeded every expectation. As someone who has grown up around great crawfish, I can honestly say this place does it right. The crawfish were perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and generously portioned. The pricing was amazing for the quality and amount you get, especially compared to other spots that charge much more. The Vietnamese fusion flavors really set this place apart. The seasoning was bold, buttery, and balanced, and every bite was better than the last. The staff made the experience even better by being attentive, friendly, and welcoming. They brought out bibs and gloves and checked in often to make sure our table was taken care of. This is such a great spot for families and groups. Plenty of space, relaxed atmosphere, and everyone at our table left happy and full. It’s rare to find a place that delivers incredible food and a comfortable, family-friendly environment at the same time. This restaurant is a true gem and will definitely be a regular stop for us during crawfish season.

Like the name implies, this place is the REEL deal. This is not a paid review. Although I do eat and boil 100-150 lbs per year. Buddy of mine and I meet up a few times a year. I usually always want crawfish. So we went to one of his favorites. It was very clean, with a hand-wash station too, nice! The bathrooms were super clean, and the staff was friendly and attentive. They sell alcohol 🍺. And my beer was never empty. The food: They got all! All types of seafood. I’ll post the menu. I wanted to try their different flavors & boil types, so I did smaller portions, and my friend did different so we could eat as much of the menu as possible without breaking the bank. But we did anyway. On this visit, the crawfish 🦞 were $11 lbs. they were small and medium with a few large. It’s 1/9/2026, very early. No gray, mushy, hollow tails. The heads were juicy with boil juice in the head and tails. So it was clear they did do a soak but also did a toss with their spices and flavor. My friend did Atomic, Hot, and Tom yum (Thai). I got Atomic, Hot, butter garlic, Cajun with and without Atomic. Over Crawfish 🦞, and snow crab 🦀. We started with raw Gulf oysters on half shell🦪. It was all good, and the snow crab was really juicy with the boil. I have a higher tolerance to spicy food. I just like them at a level that most people do not. So my 6-7 🤷‍♂️ is probably a 9-10 for most. Spice/ Heat 8/10 Peel/ pull 10/10 Flavor 9/10 Juice 9/10 Texture 10/10

So first off I wanna say when I stepped in to the building it was really nice clean environment. Good vibes. Secondly, the service was amazing. Jimmy the person that works there is the one who served me and honestly was so helpful. He made his special sauce with 10 out of 10 Crawfis was out the roof I loved it sauce was on point medium and big crawfish was really worth it. I bought 10 pounds and this is my first time ever eating for there definitely will always come back.thank you jimmy 🗣️💯

My husband and I’s go to spot! Has the best quality, flavors, and service! Great place for larger parties. They have daily specials/deals and there’s a little something for everyone here- they never miss. We also usually get their wings, Cajun fries, sweet potato fries, and fried pickles. If you’re looking for yummy seafood flavors to try: the mix (hot) or Thai basil (hot). Pictured: crawfish, blue crabs, fried catfish (already dug into to Cajun fries and fried pickles)

First time to visit and the place is great. Not a big fan of their fried rice. But everyone has different tastes so give it a try. We ordered their "REEL french fries" and they were very good. So good that I forgot to take a picture until they were half way eaten. Ordered the catfish and shrimp and was surprised when instead of half a fillet on my plate, it was a full fillet and 4 shrimp. The batter on the shrimp was crispy and the shrimp fresh. We also orderd the grilled salmon which was also a surprise when it was placed in front of us. The only alcohol we ordered was an asian beer and once again not disapppointed at all.
