If you’re as obsessed with crawfish as I am, this guide is for you! Crawfish season kicked off early this year, and I couldn’t be more excited to dive into the best spots around Austin serving these spicy, flavorful bites. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a newbie looking to get your hands dirty, I’ve got you covered.
Here’s your guide to where you can find crawfish right now, including pricing where available. Most places without a set price list offer their crawfish at market price, which typically ranges between $11-$18 per pound.
I’ve personally indulged in crawfish from Deckhand Oyster Bar and Hook & Reel, and let me tell you—they do not disappoint. Solid flavor, great spice levels, and a satisfying experience overall. That said, I’m eager to try some of the other spots on this list, especially HappyRito and Shoal Creek Saloon, both of which have glowing reviews from fellow crawfish lovers.
If you know of any other places serving crawfish this season, drop a comment below—I’d love to add them to the list!
