    No review for Crawdaddy's? Unpretentious little place with a New Orleans theme, has a cool bar, inside seating and a nice back patio with tables and what looks like a stage for live music, although there wasn't one while we were there. We had the gumbo and the jambalaya pasta, they were both out of this world! The service wasn't the best but I'll chuck it up to us having a new waitress. They also don't split checks so it's not the best place for large groups. It gets 3 stars because of the service we got during that visit.

    Absolutely delicious! Had lunch here yesterday and can't wait to go back. I ordered the blackened grilled shrimp and spinach salad with a delicious warm vinaigrette dressing. It is to die for. My husband had a bowl of clam chowder (it was huge) and it too was exceptional. Service was good. Recommend it highly.

    I like the entertainment on Sunday's. The food is good and the people there on Sundays has always been fun and exciting. Ive seen the place filled on other nights but I like the music on Sundays best. Inside is nice but outside is best. Yeah its noisy there's a band playing. If you want quite and cozy this is not the place. Its exciting and lively with good atmosphere and a variety of people eating and having fun. Ive been there 4-5 times and will go again.

    I went to Crawdaddy's with my parents to meet a long-time friend of the family who recommended this for dinner. Little did we know there would be live music, and since it was abnormally FREEZING outside, we had no choice but to sit inside where the noise was all but unbearable. I'll review each aspect of the place: Ambiance: Not bad, no parking really, but we parked in a bank parking lot around the corner and walked. It was pretty small inside, no more than 15-20 tables, but there is (I think) patio seating, and if it hadn't been so cold, we would have chosen this option. Service: Great. The waitress was very friendly, service was fast. Food: Not bad. Everyone at the table got fish, some mahi mahi, some grouper (the special). I had the Crawdaddy Saute, which sounded rather appetizing, but really wasn't anything special, and the tomato topping was a bit odd. The fish tasted fresh, was cooked well, was well seasoned. The garlic mashed potatoes were FABULOUS, and I enjoyed the green beans. Overall, I would probably give it another chance, preferably on a warmer day, and probably something besides the fish.

    N'awlins it's not. No oyster po boy on de menu, menu said dat dey will be happy to make special request, asked for OPB, the cook said NO. Server was nice but brought the wrong order out. They don't take American Express so I won't be back. Very noisy, loud music I can do without while dining.

    we were on vacation in port st lucie, i did my research on yelp before we left , my inlaws kept our 12 year old for the night so the rest of the grown ups could have a night out, so i took my wife and another couple to this place , great music , we sat in the back outside near the bar with a giant lit up tree in the middle of the bar, before our food could arrive the rain started to pour on us with no cover, 2 great females came to our table quickly moved us to another table but it was still in the rain , then came the motorized awning that covered most of the out door seating area , it was awesome the food was great , the jumbalaya over rice was to die for , i highly recommend this place , i want my own seat at the bar with my name on the back of the seat !!!!!! thank you !!!!!

    We were disappointed. The oysters were not that great and not very cold. The lobster bisque was forgettable and so was the pasta we had. On the upside, they had some GREAT live music.

  • Abby M.

    Blackened chiken with bourboned peaches is a must have. The gumbo is great too. It's a little too loud for me when they have loud music, but the wait staff is consistently fast and friendly. My favorite place to eat in Jensen.

    Louisiana cookin' with a bit of a dive bar attutude, and some faux Louisiana fusion with other cuisines, take your chances. Excellent soups (gumbo, and really good chowder), nice etouffee, decent pork chops--but too much food on that plate for a lady and the pork chops were center cut but no bone, not what this meat needs. Fair selection of wines, decent beer list, noisy bar, touristy and local hangout atmosphere, nice for a fairly cheap dinner.

    I dined here last week during their high season, and wished we had dined elsewhere. First, the hostess wanted to seat us right near the door where all the waitstaff and other patrons enter, when there were plenty of other tables further away from the door. Second, the bread - ugh. Isn't this supposed to be cajun influenced? The bread was a cold, stale loaf of white bread- not a baguette you would expect. I had the etouffee, which was just ok, not a depth of flavor you would expect with this type of cuisine, made just hot, not spicy or deep. My companion had the chicken, a pedestrian chicken breast with some cheese on it. Oh, and the music? Four codgers with a keyboard singing boogie fever and cisco kid. Not zydeco? Not blues or jazz? The restaurant is nice, but bad food, bad music. Won't go there again.

    Had lunch here today - split the crawfish appetizer, I had the oyster po' boy and my dining companion had the jambalaya. The crawfish was excellent, the sauce was quite spicy, enough for me to break a good sweat. Advice: use the bib they provide, I did not and now my shirt is headed to the laundry basket :( The po' boy was excellent: the oysters were crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. Its the bun that makes this sandwich, and this one was nice and soft. It came with a huge portion of red beans and rice which I was not able to finish. The jambalaya portion was huge - my companion could only eat about half, and the rest came home in a box. Good thing this dish reheats well. I ordered an Abita beer, and apparently noon is part of happy hour as she brought me a second brew at no charge. We sat outside on the patio, very nice ambiance. Overall I give this place a thumbs-up for lunch. The service was prompt and friendly, and the place was not crowded. I hear it gets pretty jammed for dinner.

    I picked up some take-out today around 1pm from here. After having been to New Orleans last November, I was craving some authentic items (but welcomed a fresh twist). I had the mahi-mahi blackened po boy - it was very good fish but the sandwich was not well put together and the bread got soggy quick. You had to eat the tomatos and lettuce separate. My husband got the jumbo shrimp po boy and he liked it but for $10 there should have been more than 5 medium sized shrimp. The highlight was my daughter's kids meal. Adult sized with a kid's meal price, it was a delicious grilled chicken breast she inhaled with chunky mashed potatoes and green beans. I did find it odd that they dumped lots of paprika on a kids meal; however, we just scraped it off. The red beans and rice side was off the hook. The pasta salad was ok - mediocre and hubby said too vinegary. All in all, it was ok but not good enough to warrant another trip next time we're in the area.

    Mixed review - good happy hour, creepy old disgusting men hitting on you. Outside bar has that funky smell of....well... I'm not sure, but that smell that emits out of unclean ice wells, etc. but food is tasty. I feel like I have a love/hate relationship with this place. If they could do something about the old geezers, I think I might feel more comfortable there.

  • Thomas N.

    Ate lunch here yesterday. Had the catch of the day, Mahi, with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Mahi was excellent and under 10 bucks. This place is 100% Cajun. One of my co-workers ordered the Frog Legs appetizer. They were actually quite good. Would definitely eat here again.

    I'm visiting from New Jersey our friends suggested Crawdaddy's it was the first time there for all of us. The food was fantastic we all ordered different dishes.......jambalaya pasta, rum soaked shrimp and vegetable pasta. The wait staff was also great.

  • Dan K.

    Might have been an off night but considering a Wednesday evening with very little activity you would think the service would be prompt. Received appetizers and soup fast then something went wrong and 35 minutes later and a visit from the owner the food came. Offered us 10.00 off on our next visit but still had a 85.00 bill for 2 people. Thought that was a bit high considering the service.

    (3)
  • Ashley H.

    If the server and manager say TWICE they are going to pay for oysters that come out 40 minutes after being ordered and then charge you for it, would you go back? The oysters weren't worth a dime, waterlogged and tiny. As a person in the service industry, I think it's really important to do what you say you are going to do.

  • Andrea B.

    when we moved to the area we were told about the place and once we came we can't get enough. We have not had a bad meal here (knock on wood) and the service has always been good. It's our favorite place and we always bring friends who come up to visit. I've had the pork chops, Jambalaya pasta and crawfish. You leave there full and satisfied.

  • Melody B.

    If I could rate the wait staff, our waitress would get 5 Stars! Her service and personality was delightful! The band was entertaining with good music. But the food and drinks were disgusting and disappointing. I ordered the Louisiana BBQ Shrimp. If you have ever had Louisiana BBQ Shrimp, you don't expect a Ketchup based sauce. Do I need to continue?!?!? My husband's dish was equally disappointing as well. It was Maui Maui smothered with cheese. I will always try new spots to eat while on vacation and base our visits on reviews. LOL...The reviews got us this time!

  • Raechel C.

    We came here on the 4th of July and it was SO good! I expected it was going to be busy but to my surprise we were able to get right in and get a table. The atmosphere was nice and the service was amazing. Our server helped me decide what to get and I couldn't have been happier with my entree. I ordered the special which was the catch of the day. Blackened mahi with grilled shrimp on top with a delicious tomato sauce. It's a New Orleans style restaurant and we enjoyed our visit and will definitely return. There was also a live band outside that was playing some great music. Overall, we had a fantastic time and I definitely recommend to anyone who will be in the area to visit!

    Having walked past this restaurant numerous Sunday mornings on our way to breakfast at Mulligans, we finally made it to Crawdaddy's for Valentines dinner. What a treat! We were seated right in front of the band, but they were great, so it was all good. Lobster Bisque was creamy. Crawfish app was huge, and I wanted to take a bath in the sauce! The bacon wrapped scallops are to die for. Perfectly cooked as well as the side veg. The voodoo drink will sneak up on you, and by the time you dive into the divine banana bread pudding, you will be singing with the band!

    "O" "M" "G" !!!!!!!! Me, the Mrs and our 7 & 9 year old hit this joint up after one of the local old timers gave us the recommendation. It was the BEST dinner I have had in years assuming you like-a-de-spice!!!! The crawfish app in the spicy red sauce was like making out with your best friends hot sister - it was naughty and I loved every bit of it!!! Mr. crawdaddy has his own special hot sauce that is even better than the crawfish if you can believe!?!? It's like making out with your best friends hot Mom!!! I smothered this little bottle of love all over my Jumbalia and I would swear I Levitated off the ground!!! If you like spice, have a heartbeat and are looking for a good time (yes, they have live music after 7pm most days of the week) then head on down and if your disappointed, my wife and I will "virtually" refund your money ;) Our waitress Andraya was fantastic (not to mention pleasing on the eyes) and they have a photographer that took a family picture ($20) that immortalized the evening. As for the young bloods - senior handsome had 2 burgers he devoured and rockstar had the Maine lobster - wow wow wow!!!! This is my first ever yelp review but the experience warranted the effort!

  • Kerry W.

    Manager is very uptight and not friendly. She needs to chill and smile occasionally. Waitresses are friendly and meals are good. Avoid the bread pudding. Shrimp and chicken gumbo was great. They need to offer beignets and a dessert with pecans. Thursday nights they have live music and it is a fun place.

  • Travis W.

    The salads are very fresh and the Crawfish appetizer is finger-lickin' good! The Traditional Jambalaya dish was fantastic; add a little spicy kick to it with the Crawdaddy's hot sauce to make it over-the-top outstanding! The clam chowder has such flavor, chunks of clam, and is the best I have ever eaten! The brownie sundae is warm, melts in your mouth and covered with hot fudge and white chocolate sauce, topped with whip cream and vanilla ice cream, delectable!

  • Kristen Y.

    My husband and I stopped in here last Sunday evening. We split the crawfish appetizer (which were really good!), had the grilled Mahi entree, and he had the brownie for dessert. I had the bread pudding which was excellent! The music was great (Rappture was playing) and it wasn't so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Jensen Beach!

  • Brendan L.

    Caesar salad = $5 Caesar salad with chicken = $10 Caesar salad with shrimp = $14 They change $9 for 5 of the smallest shrimp I've ever seen. I thought for that price it would be the big tiger shrimp they boasted about in the appetizer section. Nope. Plus we came across an extremely rude waitress when the food was being brought out Fuck these people.

  • Ronn S.

    Had lunch here for my birthday ! Great choice as we has their po boys shrimp and oyster - great potions and flavor was terrific. A major meal for ten bucks. Well worth the trip. Don't forget they have killer crayfish with a great hot sauce .... Ronn just Ronn The hole in the wall food guy ;-)

  • Jennifer C.

    This was my first time at this restaurant and my first exposure to cajun/creole cuisine. The entree that I ordered came with a choice of two sides. Since I do not eat meat, I asked the waitress it the red beans and rice contained meat. She said, "No." Even when the waitress delivered our dishes, she didn't notice the large pieces of sausage in the red beans and rice. After putting a forkful of food in my mouth and having to spit it into my napkin because I could clearly taste the sausage, I called the waitress over and pointed out the meat on my dish. She apologized. But I was already disgusted. How could you work at a cajun/creole restaurant and NOT know that there's meat in the red beans and rice? On top of that, my credit card statement showed that the charge for the bill was slightly higher than what I signed for. I guess I'll have to trust those who have told me that cajun/creole food is delicious.

    Lemme just start by saying that its their Jambalaya and fish dip that are getting the five stars. The kid cheeseburger was a complete mess, it looked like a warped shoe sole, which the waitress proceeded to serve anyways, to my amazement...but took it right back without skipping a beat. The outside garden was lovely and I'll most definitely will go back for some more Jambalaya when I'm in Jensen again

  • Olivia H.

    Let me start by saying I grew up on the Mississippi Louisiana border so I know what good Cajun food is like. This place absolutely lacks Cajun in all sense of the word. Me and my husband shared the big platter that they offer which has a little bit of everything. Everything on the platter was COLD. The red beans in rice was mostly rice with hardly any flavor and none of the seafood seemed to be seasoned with anything. I will not be going here again that's for sure.

  • Doug W.

    Just ok. Here on a tues night around 8:30. Ran out of ma hi ma hi and bread?? Had a doz oysters which were kind of gritty. Clam chowder and martinis were on the money however. I do like the outside seating to enjoy that "endless Florida summer". Given the choices on the "Jensen Strip" I would come back. Price for food drive the 3 star rating. Service was ok. She tried. Lobster bisque was very good but just a little on the salty side. Also tried the garlic mussels and Cajun calm linguine. Both dishes were very good.

    Cajun chicken Pasta and crawfish poboys have been some of my favorites from Crawdaddy's. We do the IT support for Crawdaddy from time to time and it only makes sense to order lunch since they are right there in downtown jensen. I have to say the Cajun chicken pasta is my favorite especially if you like spice and I always ask for extra spicy and mark makes it happen. Keep up the good work!

  • Michael F.

    Crawdaddy's is our favorite place for a guy's night out. The oysters, frog legs and crawdad's are awesome and we always pair with Abita's Purple Haze on tap. We enjoy the music and atmosphere. Service is awesome - special shout out to our server Brenda; our glasses and plates were never empty. We look forward to our next visit.

  • Tara M.

    Expecting great food, was disappointed by the mahi mahi too salty, raw oysters were fabulous, but I ordered a dozen and got 6. The jumbalaya was fantastic. Service not great, 3 wrong drink orders, and when finally right, sadly not made well. How do you screw up a basic patron margarita straight up???

    The service was excellent. My husband ordered Jambalaya Pasta, which was outstanding. I ordered the "special": redfish, blackened and served with white rice, canned tomato pieces, a little spinach and canned artichokes. The price was $24.99 and was NOT worth it! We had lobster bisque and ended with Key Lime pie, both very good. I would go to Crawdaddy's again, but I'd be very selective about ordering.

  • Andrew W.

    Had drinks and dinner when my wife and I stayed at the inn at tilton place (highly recommend) and walked over. The love music was wonderful, the atmosphere put us in old Florida. Started off with the clam chower (with yelps help) and did not regret it! Also had the BBQ shrimp which was delicious. Finished the dinner with blackened chicken and bourbon peaches (wife and I are going to try and make it at home) and the jambalaya (TONS of flavor and a huge portion, couldn't finish it.) We would recommend either. Try and sit on the patio for dinner, we were glad they didn't have seats inside. Minor qualms, when I asked if they has single malt whiskey, the server didn't know and asked for recommendations for pasta the menu was needed to reference. Loud with the music. Price was slightly higher for the environment. If you're looking for a pleasant evening with a great atmosphere, try it out!

    Oh my God! What a meal! A few years ago you could find us in Jensen almost every night and definitely on the weekends. We used to eat here on a fairly regular basis but then the house renovation started and we rarely traveled far from the house. Well we are settled in and decided to venture back down to Jensen at Crawdaddy's for supper. We are now sitting at home asking why did we eat so much?????? It was fantastic that's why! I had the Traditional Jambalaya and my partner had the Mahi New Orleans Special both were delicious and sizably portioned. Our server was on the ball and very good. Of course we couldn't ignore dessert so here's where the overstuffed factor came in. Bread Pudding with a banana slices and a bourbon glaze.......holy crap Batman that was incredible! My partner had the Brownie a la mode.........more good stuff. I am glad they have continued to maintain their quality and flavor. We will return again.

    Probably my favorite restaurant to come to in the area. Always the most exciting and happening place in Jensen Beach during the hot and muggy month of August that my wife and I go. Pretty close to a taste of New Orleans in my opinion. Definitely sit outside in the courtyard for the atmosphere. Nice job.

  • Jeffrey A.

    New Orleans atmosphere but too many people smoking in the outside eating area, excellent waitstaff, the food was good but not necessarily special.

    (3)
  • J R.

    I always come here with the lowest of the low expectations, but somehow they turn out for me. They usually do a decent job on the food, thus the three stars. I can only describe Crawdaddy's as being somewhat bizarre. The food is actually okay and the atmosphere and outside eating area is nice. The live music is fun and they have a nice bar service. Jensen is such an eclectic area (I grew up here, so I can say that) so the restaurant will lend itself to an interesting mix of characters. In addition to that, the waitresses are usually wearing a Mardi Gras version of Hooters outfit, complete with beads, corsets and booty shorts. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

    (3)
  • Aaron L.

    Awesome happy hour specials. They have a pork tenderloin (boneless supermarket pork chop), a chicken caesar, and a few other options for $6. They reinstitute the happy hour prices after 10 pm, so keeps an eye out for the because it's a pretty good deal even though it not a huge portion. The outside bar seems like one of the more fun spots in downtown Jenson Beach. It is mostly an older crowd though.

    Might not be a walk down Bourbon Street but its a taste of the big easy in Jensen Beach! While I find the prices high for the food received is higher then usual. The waitresses are always great and the food is usually pretty good. Its not an every night type of place and during snow bird season the crowd can get ridiculous. Its not a bad addition to the Jensen Beach area and its definitely worth checking out.

    I think they buy the 30 shrimp per pound bags. Tiny, tiny, tiny!! And after visiting the Lady's Room I will not be returning. Not the cleanest. Just not a whole lot to rave about here.

  • Ellen M.

    We ate here on a recent Friday night, early, before the band started up and sat inside. The outdoor seating is far more popular than the inside. It is old Florida -- the place is old, worn and not very clean. The wait staff was very nice and helpful. Had one mahi dinner and one jambalaya. The fish dinner was good. The jambalaya was a very large portion and I felt the proteins it were overcook and the flavor was so so. We felt it was a bit pricy but it is right downtown and gets lots of tourist traffic.

  • Jake K.

    Great food, would recommend the Rum-Soaked shrimp if you're looking for something sweet; filling crab cakes were savory and tasty. Sit outside if you want to hear some good -but loud- live music. Very nice waiter, only bad thing was the bathrooms. Messy and unkempt, otherwise - quality food and quality people!

    I haven't had Cajun food this good since our local "go-to" place closed 10+ years ago. I'm from Fort Lauderdale, and next time I'm craving some good crawfish etoufee, I will gladly make the drive up! I've had many mediocre experiences with places that claim to do New Orleans style food. We have a handfull of sad examples down in South Florida. Crawdaddys made me a believer again that Cajun food CAN be found outside of Louisiana! We had the crawfish etoufee which we asked to be made extra spicy and they delivered! It's been a while since I saw my father sweat - but it wasn't just heat, it was a delicious blend of spices and fresh veggies and generous crawfish tail meat that made this dish top notch. I had to experience a little of everything so I got the Big Easy sampler plate. I admit the snow crab cluster was a little out of place but once I was eating it I didn't care, some of the best snow crab I've had in a while. The mussels and clams were steamed perfectly and very well cleaned, nearly gritless. The oysters were supremely sweet and creamy - a real treat. Their gumbo is outstanding with a good smokey flavor, and you can really taste the andouille sausage (not to mention bite into the generous chunks) in their red beans and rice. I also had to try their clam chowder, as I use that as a benchmark for seafood places, and it was outstanding. Creamy, thick and rich with huge soft chunks of clam...one of the best I've had yet. Had to try the key lime pie, which was a good standard pie (no green dye here), but nothing over the top. Still, you can tell it was fresh and homemade rather than a frozen box pie. The strawberries and cream garnish was a nice touch. Service was great for a somewhat busy Friday night. Our waitress, Ryan, was super attentive and chatty without being annoying., She made sure we were satisfied all throughout the meal. Some nice live music was going on outside, but it wasn't deafening and obnoxious like some bars can get on these types of nights. We were sadly too late to go back Sunday night as we headed home from Orlando (Crawdaddys was a detour on our way up). However, next time we're through the area, or really need some good Cajun food, this is where we'll be!

  • David M.

    Wow...what a total disappointment. Where do I start? The server that was in training with the trainer that showed up 30 minutes after the whole experience went south? The wine that was ordered but was 86'd? The gumbo that was served cold and bland? The St. John"s, again that was cold and served with cold garlic mashed? Across the board simply awful. Then for some reason the staff recommends the Jambalaya Pasta and promises that it will be great. Bland, tasteless, heavy...yuck. At least it was hot. The bread wasn't even good. Cold and stale. We had high hopes but we were sadly disappointed. Your customers deserve better!

    Omg how much fun, came here saturday night for dinner as was receommended by a great friend. The service was really good and the food was awesome their out door patio is nice and big with outdoor bar. We had the mahi mahi with bourbon peaches, broccoli and mashed potatoes and my hubby had the chicken melt with broccoli and mashed potatoes too, they give the amazing bread with butter too yummy. They had a band palying alita and the boys they were so good had the crowd going. Definitely cant wait to go back.

    Disappointing , I've been dining at craw daddy's for years and the service and food has taken a wrong turn . My wife and I had our anniversary dinner last night and the St. johns was a shrunk down flavorless representation of a once great dish . We had to ask our server repeatedly for common sense items . The pork was not seasoneed at all and was cooked well beyond done . The portion was reduced to a mere 3-4 oz portion of pork and a increase of rice with very little attention to the other components. I did not see the usual cooks or the head chef who always use to make rounds through the resteraunt inspecting everything . Our server while nice was a total ditz . She actually did not know the menu and couldn't remember any of the specials . We became concerned when she asked if we wanted the pork cooked rare to medium rare . We have been ordering this dish at craw daddy's for at least five years and have never had a server ask what temperature due to the fact that it's a pounded Pork cutlet . It sad to see a place once with high standards let those standards fall by the waist side .

    Scorned Crawdaddys lover returns...... I received a very nice hand written letter from Kerrie regarding my last, less than stellar, review. Not sure who Kerrie is but the letter included a business card that belonged to the owner, Mr. Mark Kren. Because of this professionalism and attention to detail about his customer's concerns, I returned. I sat at the bar and lucky for me it was happy hour. So after having some cold miller lites I decided to order some food to go. I bought two crawfish etouffee, extra rice, 3 kids Mac and cheese, 2 things of bread, and two bottles of their homemade hot sauces. Everything was double checked by my server Courtney and I was gone. The food was outstanding as always. I had a nice smile on face as I took some of their fresh baked bread and dunked it into the etouffee sauce. Oh yeah can't forget to add some of their hot sauce and I shoved it in my mouth. Ahhhhh just Good $hit. My kids loved the creamy mac and cheese. I love you Crawdaddys and the good service you displayed made me your #1 fan again. Remember to tell them Dan sent you and Stay Hungry!

    I love this place! By far my favorite place in the area. I always order their blackened fresh catch (which is often mahi mahi)and it comes with bourbon peaches. I LOVE IT. My mom got the sauté deluxe and it was de-LISH! The fresh baked bread it awesome. My black cherry mojito was a little too sweet. Our waitress was very nice!! My brother ordered the St Johns pork dish and his dinner didn't come right away because the kitchen realized before they sent it out that it was overcooked and they only wanted to serve a well cooked meal so they voluntarily made it again before we even saw it. I think that's really great because my brother probably would have eaten the over cooked meat and not enjoyed it and not sent it back. The chef cares about only sending out good food! Great ambience on the patio, even if there's no live music. The live music is great though and I think they have it Wednesday thru Saturday. The mashed potatoes are awesome btw and so is the peanut butter pie for dessert. Really you can't go wrong here. Enjoy!!!!

    Stopped in for dessert and an apertif after dinner in Ft. Pierce. At almost 11pm we were treated to unhurried and friendly service. Our server, Rebecca, chatted with us and recommended a dessert when asked that was very good and huge. We did not feel pressured to hurry due to the late hour and sat outside where it really did feel like a little outdoor bar on Bourbon St in NOLA. It seems that there are not too many civilized choices for late night in this area unless you want to go to a divey sports bar and we did not. Thanks, Crawdaddy's and Rebecca!

    Just left after a GREAT lunch. clam chowder itself is worth 5+ stars. Mahi sandwich: piece of fish so big wouldn't fit on the bun. flaky and tender. Jambalaya pasta: delicious & loaded with meat. Just yummy! Great service too!

    We dined there yesterday, in the midsts of the Jensen Beach Arts Festival. It was lunchtime. We all ordered the blackened chicken. It was covered with bourbon soaked peaches. It was delicious!!! The garlic mashed potatoes were so garlicky....we loved them. And a simple veggie, green beans, crunchy and flavorful. There was live music playing and that was excellent. Dining there, in the outdoor space, is like a visit to New Orleans. We will be back.

  • Amy C.

    Party of 4 - best items of the night - blackened fresh fish with bourbon peaches and the crawfish appetizer. Jambalaya had great flavor but was very sparse on the shrimp - I think there was one. Atmosphere was fun/lively. Definitely would try it again.

  • Lily L.

    I def recommend it if in the area & if you like: Laid back atmosphere Outdoor sitting Jazz/Blues music Fantastic American food with a Cajun punch! (w/ a raw bar) The service was fantastic. The game was on the TVs & the live music was loud and fun. I had a big margarita. Or two. They are tasty, big, and sneak up on you. :) Jambalaya is not on the menu, but my waitress told me they do have it! Ask for it. Unfortunately my craving for mashed potatoes overruled. So instead, I ordered the grilled rum soaked (w/ mango-lime relish) shrimp with mashers. YUMMY!

  • Rlg G.

    DELICIOUS!! Been here many times. The crawfish are so good and then dip their bread rolls in the sauce-- mmmm! They sell their homemade hot sauce too- so good! Really do love it, outdoor music is fun and just an overall great vibe

    Everyone who lives or visits Jensen Beach has been to Crawdaddy's. If for some unknown reason you haven't ,whats your problem? Yes it's loud, yes it's crowded, and yes you'll probably have to wait for a table.Deal with it. The food is great.The spices they use are right from the best kitchens of New Orleans.Very large portions.Our server lastnight was Alison.She was just plain excellent.Beaware on Thursday's it is "Jammin Jensen ",so this place is crazy busy.Lots of fun.

    If you're even remotely familiar with True Blood, this restaurant definitely has that Merlotte's feel to it (minus Sookie serving your dinner or Lafayette in the kitchen). Upon arriving we noticed there was a significantly large party here (family gathering of sorts) so I assumed the service for food would be a little slow, and it was. Our waitress wasn't all that friendly either and I guess that's because she was helping out with the large party nest to us. Service aside, my friend suggested we have the lobster bisque. Wow, it was incredible. Rich flavor in every spoonful. I could have easily had another cup of it. It's definitely something everyone should get before chowing down. As a main course my friends and I shared the scallops dish with a white sauce, an order of crawfish, and the creole shrimp dish. I never had crawfish up until this meal so I couldn't compare them to any others, but they were tasty. It's fair to say that the scallops were the crowd pleaser at our table. They practically melted in your mouth. The creole shrimp was a close second since it had lots of different flavors (spicy and sweet) that mixed together well. Overall the food was really great, so I'd definitely come back here to try out some of the other fare, but also to enjoy another cup of the lobster bisque.

    Very friendly service. Good atmosphere and good food. We ate then listened to the live band for two hours. Good place to get casual seafood. Recommend the Cajun chicken pasta

    We had the crab cakes topped with crawfish étouffée and it was fantastic! The clam chowder and the lobster bisque was amazing! Service was great!

    I am giving this s stars for several reasons. We didn't eat here, so I can't write much about the food. We did go in the evening dudring the live band, which was good, and I would rate them 5 stars for that. Unfortnately, I wasn't happy with the service the bartender gave me(this is only for the outside bar). I had ordered a maragartia, and about 5 mins later I saw an ANT in my drinks, so I told the bartender. Instead of saying sorry, let me make you a new drink or let me get you something else, she says this. Oh an ant, that must have fallen from the tree above you, but don't worry I am an expert at taking ant out of drinks and she takes a STRAW and sucks the ANT out and gives me back my drink. I was like really, thats disgusting. She was the blond lady with hair down to her shoulders, a little curly like it was permed! I would not go there for the drinks, but I would go and eat dinner and listen to the live band.

  • Mary W.

    The food was amazing and the service was even better. Jessica was very attentive, but not rushing us We started with clam chowder which had more clams than any I've seen My husband had jambalaya pasta and started to get full so he decided to just eat the meats in it: shrimp, crawfish, sausage etc.but there was just so much meat he couldn't finish. The Cajun chicken pasta was amazing just enough of a kick. Absolutely delicious and such a big portion way too much to eat in one sitting. We were lucky to be here on a Friday to hear Alita and the boys--great voice and lots of good music. Great prices too for the amount of food.

    My family and I were in Jensen Beach visiting a family friend, we don't know the area to well but some how we found this cute little town/area close to the water and we were all starving, we loved the name craw daddy's it was very catchy to us to we decided to eat there for dinner. We were a bit skeptical about eating there, we weren't sure if it was going to by a dingy bar type of place because there were people chain smoking right out front. We decided to go there to eat anyway. We shared a couple of appetizers to start which was half a dozen raw oysters and the crab cakes, my mom and our family friend said that the crab cakes were probably the best crab cakes they had ever had. The oysters were good but small. My mom and family friend decided to share a dinner and they got a special which was like a curry mahi mahi (Its not on the menu). They kind of liked it but it was just way to heavy and they both felt kind of sick afterwards. I just got a caesar salad but I enjoyed it. We would still love to come back and try more items on their menu. They have a fun and hip theme and it seems like a great atmosphere, I waitress was kind of annoying checking on us every 5 seconds and interrupting our conversations but i know she was just doing her job. I would just suggest that they keep their door shut so the smell of the cigarettes doesn't seep inside, because its kind of unappetizing to be eating with with an aroma of cigarettes.

    Went for lunch today... Fell in love with the outdoor patio... It gave a real Nola feeling. The food was pretty good. I had the po boy which was delicious - but I wasn't crazy about thE riCe and beans. My husband had the crab cake, which he said was ok- but he loved the potatoes and broccoli. Service was great. Overall good dining experience!

  • George P.

    Live music in the patio or eat inside at a table or at the bar. Shrimp & Chicken Gumbo and Jambalaya Pasta (Andouille Sausage, Chicken, Pork, Shrimp and Crawfish) were my choices. Mmm mmm good!!! Wish they were in NJ where I live. Good prices too! FYI, smoking is allowed in the patio. crawdaddysrestaurant.org

    Most of the time Crawdaddy's continues to delight! The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is energetic without being frenzied. When they're busy, there's a rumble of animated chatter...but it's never been too loud to have a conversation at dinner (until the music starts, that is!...but then we know when there's going to be music and can plan accordingly depending on whether chatting or music is higher on our priority list at that moment!) The last time we were there, the timing was off - our appetizer came out and right on top of it came our entrees. Since this was our fist premature entree-culation at Crawdaddy's, we're giving them benefit of the doubt for now. My fish was fresh, moist, flaky and had that cajun spiciness that I love. Yum!

  • Barbara H.

    What a shame! We have eaten there many times and have always enjoyed everything about it and were looking forward to treating some guest to a fun night. The first thing we noticed that we were put in a back table around a corner so we could see the live entertainment ( always a great asset) and we had to requested the hostess wipe off the table. Waitress came with bread and took our drink order, 20 minutes later they arrived. She took our dinner order and was helpful with the broad menu. Drinks were gone and WE had to go in search for someone to take the order for the second round, once again another long wait. So we decided to have some bread that was our first warning to get up and go. It tasted like lighter fluid. When the drinks finally arrived we told the sever and she quickly removed it, no explanation. Our dinners can and several were, several being 3 of 6 were OK. The other 3 were lighter fluid flavored. The bill came I paid with a less than 20% tip. I finally decided this needed to be brought to someone's attention. I spoke with the manager who told me they had sealed the concrete floors after service the night before. Really! The hall to the, bathrooms had an overpowering chemical smell. I noticed as we left that they a fan blowing outside air into the restaurant . In fairness to the manager she comped two dinners and a round of drinks and explained about sealing the concrete floor. But really the better part of valor would have been to close for a night until the fumes were totally out of the building. Doubt if we will return.

    I enjoyed this place I wanted to try something different Cajun food is something that I really like and don't usually see enough of around my neck of the woods I recommend the blackened chicken pasta and the blackened chicken with bourbon peaches They have a summer lunch special starting at $5.95 For two people, that were pretty stuffed, our bill was $24 The meal included 3 small lunch portions and a sweet tea You get a BIG BANG for your BUCK at this cute joint And our waiter was a sweetie Highly recommend

    Definitely recommend this place. Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, and very good food. The jambalaya pasta was a bit overcooked but the taste was good nonetheless and not too spicy. The lobster bisque was sensational. I ate some of my girlfriend's snow crab legs and they were delectable. Mom mom Flo fully enjoyed her shrimp creole. She's from Louisiana and said it was very authentic. Pop pop Paul enjoyed the fresh fish. Watch out for the potatoes though...full of garlic. The bread pudding was delicious. It was drizzled in vanilla, as well as chocolate syrup, and had slices of banana. The brownie sundae was so sweet...Ian loved it.

    This place has been reviewed by plenty. We got a table on a very busy night (Jensen Beach has a street fair on Thursday evenings), drinks were delivered promptly and the wait staff (from Portland, IN!!) was awesome. Great suggestions, food was good and delivered in a timely manner. There was live music and lots of noise...it's not billed as intimate dining and it lived up to it's name. We loved it!!

  • Jean W.

    I was recently in the area from Tennessee on a business trip. This place caught my attention as I was walking by and heard the sound of live music. I stood for a moment wondering if I should check out the place. The hostess stood near the entrance and invited me in. I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was good with the outdoor patio dining and a great band! I ordered the crab cake appetizer and key lime pie to finish off. Both were delicious! My only issue was that it was just a bit chillier than I expected, but this was completely understandable, as it was mid-March. Overall, I was very pleased.

    Cute little place with a great New Orleans ambience. The live band adds to the experience however if you don't like loud music don't sit outside! Food was alright... That being said choose this place if ambience is more important than taste!

    Took a friend to listen to some Blues music but none to be had that night. Relied on Ft. Pierce Jazz and Blues Society's website which must have some glitches so be sure to call ahead. We were there anyway so decided to sit down and have drinks and share a piece of Key Lime Pie. Pie was pretty darn awesome and service was excellent. Definitely a place I would try for lunch or dinner next time I'm in Jensen Beach.

    Usually I visit Crawdaddy's in the evening but was invited to lunch today by a friend. The food was very delicious and the service quick and efficient. Drinks were kept filled and anything we wanted was brought to the table quickly. Delicious food, good service...what more could you want.

    Yummy yummy yummy. Just left the restaurant, first time customer. Excellent customer service, excellent hot homemade hot sauce, excellent food. My husband ordered the steak Philly which was moist and very very tastey. Great seasoning. I ordered the crawfish étouffée which was delicious. The crawfish was soooo fresh and the sauce/gravy the crawfish was simmered in was amazing. This was my first time eating Cajun food and I was pleasantly surprised. And to top it all off their key lime pie was perfectly tart with a yummy buttery, graham crust. I will definitely be back. Special thanks to the owner for such great service. :)

    Great crawfish! Outside dining furniture needs to be up dated! Old dirty cushions available on less then half of the chairs, need to be thrown out. How about some new more comfortable outside seating! Menu pricing a little high. Bathrooms very dirty which usually means kitchen isn't much better. Outside music a little loud for conversation purposes. Service was good and waitress very friendly. Frogs leg special was excellent. I would return but please try and clean some things up!

    Good atmosphere, good service, decent food. Would've liked to have seen a spicy seafood pasta that was less greasy than the Pasta Jambalaya. It was dripping w/ grease. Tasty no doubt, but I'll be running for the hopper in no time. I had the Crab Cakes because the waitress said they were awesome. Hmm, I beg to differ. They were average at best. Did not touch the heap of mashies next to it either and the cakes seemed to be sitting on a bed of old and unwashed lettuce. The kids had Pasta w/ chicken (I had them do Penne instead of Linguine as I'm not sure why anyone would offer Linguine to kids) and it was a bit tasteless. I asked for serveral heaping spoons of parmesan cheese to perk it up a bit. The best thing we had were the Muscle appetizers. They were outstanding. The live music was decent but a little too loud for conversation w/ our guests and kids.

    Happy hour is amazing, buy one get one free on beers! I think it was less than 10 dollars for four beers, pretTAY sweet if you ask me! Waitresses were SUPER friendly and polite, definitely one of the better bars, and a fun atmosphere if you want something with a local feel!

  • Sheri P.

    Great laid back atmosphere, really good food. Ordered steamed crawfish...not quite as good as "Nawlins" but not bad for southern Florida. Bowl of Gumbo was big - a meal - and very good also. But the surprise of the night was the Clam Chowder - FANTASTIC! Would have given 5 stars but the bread (while homemade) was not "French Bread" which would have been much more authentic.

    Been here a few times, food is always really good. I try something different every time I go and seems like every time its better than the last. Place has a cool atmosphere to it also. If you in the area, I recommend it.

  • Regular G.

    This place was a pleasant surprise! It was much less crowded than some of the other places nearby and the hostess practically dragged us in from outside. We were unsure, but we're glad we agreed to come in. Everyone that I was with agreed that the food was fantastic. The prices were very reasonable, and the service was friendly. This place is an all-around great seafood experience with a Cajun touch, and I will be coming back if I'm ever in the area again.

  • Paul B.

    Very good! Asked bartender what to have! Steered me in the right direction. Clam chowder rivals any I have had. Top notch, top notch! Asked for my entree spicy. It was spicy - not wimpy, not the cook showing me how hot he can make it. Had a new drink in front of me before I asked! Anyone bashing this place doesn't know how to order!

    Had lunch here today - split the crawfish appetizer, I had the oyster po' boy and my dining companion had the jambalaya. The crawfish was excellent, the sauce was quite spicy, enough for me to break a good sweat. Advice: use the bib they provide, I did not and now my shirt is headed to the laundry basket :( The po' boy was excellent: the oysters were crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. Its the bun that makes this sandwich, and this one was nice and soft. It came with a huge portion of red beans and rice which I was not able to finish. The jambalaya portion was huge - my companion could only eat about half, and the rest came home in a box. Good thing this dish reheats well. I ordered an Abita beer, and apparently noon is part of happy hour as she brought me a second brew at no charge. We sat outside on the patio, very nice ambiance. Overall I give this place a thumbs-up for lunch. The service was prompt and friendly, and the place was not crowded. I hear it gets pretty jammed for dinner.

  • Christina V.

    I picked up some take-out today around 1pm from here. After having been to New Orleans last November, I was craving some authentic items (but welcomed a fresh twist). I had the mahi-mahi blackened po boy - it was very good fish but the sandwich was not well put together and the bread got soggy quick. You had to eat the tomatos and lettuce separate. My husband got the jumbo shrimp po boy and he liked it but for $10 there should have been more than 5 medium sized shrimp. The highlight was my daughter's kids meal. Adult sized with a kid's meal price, it was a delicious grilled chicken breast she inhaled with chunky mashed potatoes and green beans. I did find it odd that they dumped lots of paprika on a kids meal; however, we just scraped it off. The red beans and rice side was off the hook. The pasta salad was ok - mediocre and hubby said too vinegary. All in all, it was ok but not good enough to warrant another trip next time we're in the area.

    Mixed review - good happy hour, creepy old disgusting men hitting on you. Outside bar has that funky smell of....well... I'm not sure, but that smell that emits out of unclean ice wells, etc. but food is tasty. I feel like I have a love/hate relationship with this place. If they could do something about the old geezers, I think I might feel more comfortable there.

  • Thomas N.

    Ate lunch here yesterday. Had the catch of the day, Mahi, with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Mahi was excellent and under 10 bucks. This place is 100% Cajun. One of my co-workers ordered the Frog Legs appetizer. They were actually quite good. Would definitely eat here again.

  • Dan K.

    Might have been an off night but considering a Wednesday evening with very little activity you would think the service would be prompt. Received appetizers and soup fast then something went wrong and 35 minutes later and a visit from the owner the food came. Offered us 10.00 off on our next visit but still had a 85.00 bill for 2 people. Thought that was a bit high considering the service.

    (3)
  • Ashley H.

    If the server and manager say TWICE they are going to pay for oysters that come out 40 minutes after being ordered and then charge you for it, would you go back? The oysters weren't worth a dime, waterlogged and tiny. As a person in the service industry, I think it's really important to do what you say you are going to do.

  • Andrea B.

    when we moved to the area we were told about the place and once we came we can't get enough. We have not had a bad meal here (knock on wood) and the service has always been good. It's our favorite place and we always bring friends who come up to visit. I've had the pork chops, Jambalaya pasta and crawfish. You leave there full and satisfied.

  • Melody B.

    If I could rate the wait staff, our waitress would get 5 Stars! Her service and personality was delightful! The band was entertaining with good music. But the food and drinks were disgusting and disappointing. I ordered the Louisiana BBQ Shrimp. If you have ever had Louisiana BBQ Shrimp, you don't expect a Ketchup based sauce. Do I need to continue?!?!? My husband's dish was equally disappointing as well. It was Maui Maui smothered with cheese. I will always try new spots to eat while on vacation and base our visits on reviews. LOL...The reviews got us this time!

    We came here on the 4th of July and it was SO good! I expected it was going to be busy but to my surprise we were able to get right in and get a table. The atmosphere was nice and the service was amazing. Our server helped me decide what to get and I couldn't have been happier with my entree. I ordered the special which was the catch of the day. Blackened mahi with grilled shrimp on top with a delicious tomato sauce. It's a New Orleans style restaurant and we enjoyed our visit and will definitely return. There was also a live band outside that was playing some great music. Overall, we had a fantastic time and I definitely recommend to anyone who will be in the area to visit!

    Having walked past this restaurant numerous Sunday mornings on our way to breakfast at Mulligans, we finally made it to Crawdaddy's for Valentines dinner. What a treat! We were seated right in front of the band, but they were great, so it was all good. Lobster Bisque was creamy. Crawfish app was huge, and I wanted to take a bath in the sauce! The bacon wrapped scallops are to die for. Perfectly cooked as well as the side veg. The voodoo drink will sneak up on you, and by the time you dive into the divine banana bread pudding, you will be singing with the band!

    "O" "M" "G" !!!!!!!! Me, the Mrs and our 7 & 9 year old hit this joint up after one of the local old timers gave us the recommendation. It was the BEST dinner I have had in years assuming you like-a-de-spice!!!! The crawfish app in the spicy red sauce was like making out with your best friends hot sister - it was naughty and I loved every bit of it!!! Mr. crawdaddy has his own special hot sauce that is even better than the crawfish if you can believe!?!? It's like making out with your best friends hot Mom!!! I smothered this little bottle of love all over my Jumbalia and I would swear I Levitated off the ground!!! If you like spice, have a heartbeat and are looking for a good time (yes, they have live music after 7pm most days of the week) then head on down and if your disappointed, my wife and I will "virtually" refund your money ;) Our waitress Andraya was fantastic (not to mention pleasing on the eyes) and they have a photographer that took a family picture ($20) that immortalized the evening. As for the young bloods - senior handsome had 2 burgers he devoured and rockstar had the Maine lobster - wow wow wow!!!! This is my first ever yelp review but the experience warranted the effort!

  • Kerry W.

    Manager is very uptight and not friendly. She needs to chill and smile occasionally. Waitresses are friendly and meals are good. Avoid the bread pudding. Shrimp and chicken gumbo was great. They need to offer beignets and a dessert with pecans. Thursday nights they have live music and it is a fun place.

  • Travis W.

    The salads are very fresh and the Crawfish appetizer is finger-lickin' good! The Traditional Jambalaya dish was fantastic; add a little spicy kick to it with the Crawdaddy's hot sauce to make it over-the-top outstanding! The clam chowder has such flavor, chunks of clam, and is the best I have ever eaten! The brownie sundae is warm, melts in your mouth and covered with hot fudge and white chocolate sauce, topped with whip cream and vanilla ice cream, delectable!

  • Brendan L.

    Caesar salad = $5 Caesar salad with chicken = $10 Caesar salad with shrimp = $14 They change $9 for 5 of the smallest shrimp I've ever seen. I thought for that price it would be the big tiger shrimp they boasted about in the appetizer section. Nope. Plus we came across an extremely rude waitress when the food was being brought out Fuck these people.

    My husband and I stopped in here last Sunday evening. We split the crawfish appetizer (which were really good!), had the grilled Mahi entree, and he had the brownie for dessert. I had the bread pudding which was excellent! The music was great (Rappture was playing) and it wasn't so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Jensen Beach!

    Had lunch here for my birthday ! Great choice as we has their po boys shrimp and oyster - great potions and flavor was terrific. A major meal for ten bucks. Well worth the trip. Don't forget they have killer crayfish with a great hot sauce .... Ronn just Ronn The hole in the wall food guy ;-)

    This was my first time at this restaurant and my first exposure to cajun/creole cuisine. The entree that I ordered came with a choice of two sides. Since I do not eat meat, I asked the waitress it the red beans and rice contained meat. She said, "No." Even when the waitress delivered our dishes, she didn't notice the large pieces of sausage in the red beans and rice. After putting a forkful of food in my mouth and having to spit it into my napkin because I could clearly taste the sausage, I called the waitress over and pointed out the meat on my dish. She apologized. But I was already disgusted. How could you work at a cajun/creole restaurant and NOT know that there's meat in the red beans and rice? On top of that, my credit card statement showed that the charge for the bill was slightly higher than what I signed for. I guess I'll have to trust those who have told me that cajun/creole food is delicious.

    Lemme just start by saying that its their Jambalaya and fish dip that are getting the five stars. The kid cheeseburger was a complete mess, it looked like a warped shoe sole, which the waitress proceeded to serve anyways, to my amazement...but took it right back without skipping a beat. The outside garden was lovely and I'll most definitely will go back for some more Jambalaya when I'm in Jensen again

    Let me start by saying I grew up on the Mississippi Louisiana border so I know what good Cajun food is like. This place absolutely lacks Cajun in all sense of the word. Me and my husband shared the big platter that they offer which has a little bit of everything. Everything on the platter was COLD. The red beans in rice was mostly rice with hardly any flavor and none of the seafood seemed to be seasoned with anything. I will not be going here again that's for sure.

    Just ok. Here on a tues night around 8:30. Ran out of ma hi ma hi and bread?? Had a doz oysters which were kind of gritty. Clam chowder and martinis were on the money however. I do like the outside seating to enjoy that "endless Florida summer". Given the choices on the "Jensen Strip" I would come back. Price for food drive the 3 star rating. Service was ok. She tried. Lobster bisque was very good but just a little on the salty side. Also tried the garlic mussels and Cajun calm linguine. Both dishes were very good.

    Cajun chicken Pasta and crawfish poboys have been some of my favorites from Crawdaddy's. We do the IT support for Crawdaddy from time to time and it only makes sense to order lunch since they are right there in downtown jensen. I have to say the Cajun chicken pasta is my favorite especially if you like spice and I always ask for extra spicy and mark makes it happen. Keep up the good work!

  • Michael F.

    Crawdaddy's is our favorite place for a guy's night out. The oysters, frog legs and crawdad's are awesome and we always pair with Abita's Purple Haze on tap. We enjoy the music and atmosphere. Service is awesome - special shout out to our server Brenda; our glasses and plates were never empty. We look forward to our next visit.

    Expecting great food, was disappointed by the mahi mahi too salty, raw oysters were fabulous, but I ordered a dozen and got 6. The jumbalaya was fantastic. Service not great, 3 wrong drink orders, and when finally right, sadly not made well. How do you screw up a basic patron margarita straight up???

  • Andrew W.

    Had drinks and dinner when my wife and I stayed at the inn at tilton place (highly recommend) and walked over. The love music was wonderful, the atmosphere put us in old Florida. Started off with the clam chower (with yelps help) and did not regret it! Also had the BBQ shrimp which was delicious. Finished the dinner with blackened chicken and bourbon peaches (wife and I are going to try and make it at home) and the jambalaya (TONS of flavor and a huge portion, couldn't finish it.) We would recommend either. Try and sit on the patio for dinner, we were glad they didn't have seats inside. Minor qualms, when I asked if they has single malt whiskey, the server didn't know and asked for recommendations for pasta the menu was needed to reference. Loud with the music. Price was slightly higher for the environment. If you're looking for a pleasant evening with a great atmosphere, try it out!

    WOW WOW WOW!!! Walked in, greeted with three equally beautiful smiles and led to a table outside... Right next to the band... A beautiful open air patio with funky, romantic captivating blues... "Last Exit Blues Band." THEN ... THEN, THEN The food came... From our super waitress Courtney... I got the Cajun Blackened chicken JACK got the gumbo... Both to die for!!! A+++

    Awesome happy hour specials. They have a pork tenderloin (boneless supermarket pork chop), a chicken caesar, and a few other options for $6. They reinstitute the happy hour prices after 10 pm, so keeps an eye out for the because it's a pretty good deal even though it not a huge portion. The outside bar seems like one of the more fun spots in downtown Jenson Beach. It is mostly an older crowd though.

    Oh my God! What a meal! A few years ago you could find us in Jensen almost every night and definitely on the weekends. We used to eat here on a fairly regular basis but then the house renovation started and we rarely traveled far from the house. Well we are settled in and decided to venture back down to Jensen at Crawdaddy's for supper. We are now sitting at home asking why did we eat so much?????? It was fantastic that's why! I had the Traditional Jambalaya and my partner had the Mahi New Orleans Special both were delicious and sizably portioned. Our server was on the ball and very good. Of course we couldn't ignore dessert so here's where the overstuffed factor came in. Bread Pudding with a banana slices and a bourbon glaze.......holy crap Batman that was incredible! My partner had the Brownie a la mode.........more good stuff. I am glad they have continued to maintain their quality and flavor. We will return again.

    Probably my favorite restaurant to come to in the area. Always the most exciting and happening place in Jensen Beach during the hot and muggy month of August that my wife and I go. Pretty close to a taste of New Orleans in my opinion. Definitely sit outside in the courtyard for the atmosphere. Nice job.

    The service was excellent. My husband ordered Jambalaya Pasta, which was outstanding. I ordered the "special": redfish, blackened and served with white rice, canned tomato pieces, a little spinach and canned artichokes. The price was $24.99 and was NOT worth it! We had lobster bisque and ended with Key Lime pie, both very good. I would go to Crawdaddy's again, but I'd be very selective about ordering.

    New Orleans atmosphere but too many people smoking in the outside eating area, excellent waitstaff, the food was good but not necessarily special.

  • J R.

    I always come here with the lowest of the low expectations, but somehow they turn out for me. They usually do a decent job on the food, thus the three stars. I can only describe Crawdaddy's as being somewhat bizarre. The food is actually okay and the atmosphere and outside eating area is nice. The live music is fun and they have a nice bar service. Jensen is such an eclectic area (I grew up here, so I can say that) so the restaurant will lend itself to an interesting mix of characters. In addition to that, the waitresses are usually wearing a Mardi Gras version of Hooters outfit, complete with beads, corsets and booty shorts. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

  • Nicholas D.

    Might not be a walk down Bourbon Street but its a taste of the big easy in Jensen Beach! While I find the prices high for the food received is higher then usual. The waitresses are always great and the food is usually pretty good. Its not an every night type of place and during snow bird season the crowd can get ridiculous. Its not a bad addition to the Jensen Beach area and its definitely worth checking out.

    I haven't had Cajun food this good since our local "go-to" place closed 10+ years ago. I'm from Fort Lauderdale, and next time I'm craving some good crawfish etoufee, I will gladly make the drive up! I've had many mediocre experiences with places that claim to do New Orleans style food. We have a handfull of sad examples down in South Florida. Crawdaddys made me a believer again that Cajun food CAN be found outside of Louisiana! We had the crawfish etoufee which we asked to be made extra spicy and they delivered! It's been a while since I saw my father sweat - but it wasn't just heat, it was a delicious blend of spices and fresh veggies and generous crawfish tail meat that made this dish top notch. I had to experience a little of everything so I got the Big Easy sampler plate. I admit the snow crab cluster was a little out of place but once I was eating it I didn't care, some of the best snow crab I've had in a while. The mussels and clams were steamed perfectly and very well cleaned, nearly gritless. The oysters were supremely sweet and creamy - a real treat. Their gumbo is outstanding with a good smokey flavor, and you can really taste the andouille sausage (not to mention bite into the generous chunks) in their red beans and rice. I also had to try their clam chowder, as I use that as a benchmark for seafood places, and it was outstanding. Creamy, thick and rich with huge soft chunks of clam...one of the best I've had yet. Had to try the key lime pie, which was a good standard pie (no green dye here), but nothing over the top. Still, you can tell it was fresh and homemade rather than a frozen box pie. The strawberries and cream garnish was a nice touch. Service was great for a somewhat busy Friday night. Our waitress, Ryan, was super attentive and chatty without being annoying., She made sure we were satisfied all throughout the meal. Some nice live music was going on outside, but it wasn't deafening and obnoxious like some bars can get on these types of nights. We were sadly too late to go back Sunday night as we headed home from Orlando (Crawdaddys was a detour on our way up). However, next time we're through the area, or really need some good Cajun food, this is where we'll be!

  • David M.

    Wow...what a total disappointment. Where do I start? The server that was in training with the trainer that showed up 30 minutes after the whole experience went south? The wine that was ordered but was 86'd? The gumbo that was served cold and bland? The St. John"s, again that was cold and served with cold garlic mashed? Across the board simply awful. Then for some reason the staff recommends the Jambalaya Pasta and promises that it will be great. Bland, tasteless, heavy...yuck. At least it was hot. The bread wasn't even good. Cold and stale. We had high hopes but we were sadly disappointed. Your customers deserve better!

    Omg how much fun, came here saturday night for dinner as was receommended by a great friend. The service was really good and the food was awesome their out door patio is nice and big with outdoor bar. We had the mahi mahi with bourbon peaches, broccoli and mashed potatoes and my hubby had the chicken melt with broccoli and mashed potatoes too, they give the amazing bread with butter too yummy. They had a band palying alita and the boys they were so good had the crowd going. Definitely cant wait to go back.

  • Ellen M.

    We ate here on a recent Friday night, early, before the band started up and sat inside. The outdoor seating is far more popular than the inside. It is old Florida -- the place is old, worn and not very clean. The wait staff was very nice and helpful. Had one mahi dinner and one jambalaya. The fish dinner was good. The jambalaya was a very large portion and I felt the proteins it were overcook and the flavor was so so. We felt it was a bit pricy but it is right downtown and gets lots of tourist traffic.

  • Jake K.

    Great food, would recommend the Rum-Soaked shrimp if you're looking for something sweet; filling crab cakes were savory and tasty. Sit outside if you want to hear some good -but loud- live music. Very nice waiter, only bad thing was the bathrooms. Messy and unkempt, otherwise - quality food and quality people!

  • Carlos D.

    Disappointing , I've been dining at craw daddy's for years and the service and food has taken a wrong turn . My wife and I had our anniversary dinner last night and the St. johns was a shrunk down flavorless representation of a once great dish . We had to ask our server repeatedly for common sense items . The pork was not seasoneed at all and was cooked well beyond done . The portion was reduced to a mere 3-4 oz portion of pork and a increase of rice with very little attention to the other components. I did not see the usual cooks or the head chef who always use to make rounds through the resteraunt inspecting everything . Our server while nice was a total ditz . She actually did not know the menu and couldn't remember any of the specials . We became concerned when she asked if we wanted the pork cooked rare to medium rare . We have been ordering this dish at craw daddy's for at least five years and have never had a server ask what temperature due to the fact that it's a pounded Pork cutlet . It sad to see a place once with high standards let those standards fall by the waist side .

    Scorned Crawdaddys lover returns...... I received a very nice hand written letter from Kerrie regarding my last, less than stellar, review. Not sure who Kerrie is but the letter included a business card that belonged to the owner, Mr. Mark Kren. Because of this professionalism and attention to detail about his customer's concerns, I returned. I sat at the bar and lucky for me it was happy hour. So after having some cold miller lites I decided to order some food to go. I bought two crawfish etouffee, extra rice, 3 kids Mac and cheese, 2 things of bread, and two bottles of their homemade hot sauces. Everything was double checked by my server Courtney and I was gone. The food was outstanding as always. I had a nice smile on face as I took some of their fresh baked bread and dunked it into the etouffee sauce. Oh yeah can't forget to add some of their hot sauce and I shoved it in my mouth. Ahhhhh just Good $hit. My kids loved the creamy mac and cheese. I love you Crawdaddys and the good service you displayed made me your #1 fan again. Remember to tell them Dan sent you and Stay Hungry!

    I love this place! By far my favorite place in the area. I always order their blackened fresh catch (which is often mahi mahi)and it comes with bourbon peaches. I LOVE IT. My mom got the sauté deluxe and it was de-LISH! The fresh baked bread it awesome. My black cherry mojito was a little too sweet. Our waitress was very nice!! My brother ordered the St Johns pork dish and his dinner didn't come right away because the kitchen realized before they sent it out that it was overcooked and they only wanted to serve a well cooked meal so they voluntarily made it again before we even saw it. I think that's really great because my brother probably would have eaten the over cooked meat and not enjoyed it and not sent it back. The chef cares about only sending out good food! Great ambience on the patio, even if there's no live music. The live music is great though and I think they have it Wednesday thru Saturday. The mashed potatoes are awesome btw and so is the peanut butter pie for dessert. Really you can't go wrong here. Enjoy!!!!

    Stopped in for dessert and an apertif after dinner in Ft. Pierce. At almost 11pm we were treated to unhurried and friendly service. Our server, Rebecca, chatted with us and recommended a dessert when asked that was very good and huge. We did not feel pressured to hurry due to the late hour and sat outside where it really did feel like a little outdoor bar on Bourbon St in NOLA. It seems that there are not too many civilized choices for late night in this area unless you want to go to a divey sports bar and we did not. Thanks, Crawdaddy's and Rebecca!

    We dined there yesterday, in the midsts of the Jensen Beach Arts Festival. It was lunchtime. We all ordered the blackened chicken. It was covered with bourbon soaked peaches. It was delicious!!! The garlic mashed potatoes were so garlicky....we loved them. And a simple veggie, green beans, crunchy and flavorful. There was live music playing and that was excellent. Dining there, in the outdoor space, is like a visit to New Orleans. We will be back.

  • Amy C.

    Party of 4 - best items of the night - blackened fresh fish with bourbon peaches and the crawfish appetizer. Jambalaya had great flavor but was very sparse on the shrimp - I think there was one. Atmosphere was fun/lively. Definitely would try it again.

  • Lily L.

    I def recommend it if in the area & if you like: Laid back atmosphere Outdoor sitting Jazz/Blues music Fantastic American food with a Cajun punch! (w/ a raw bar) The service was fantastic. The game was on the TVs & the live music was loud and fun. I had a big margarita. Or two. They are tasty, big, and sneak up on you. :) Jambalaya is not on the menu, but my waitress told me they do have it! Ask for it. Unfortunately my craving for mashed potatoes overruled. So instead, I ordered the grilled rum soaked (w/ mango-lime relish) shrimp with mashers. YUMMY!

  • Rlg G.

    DELICIOUS!! Been here many times. The crawfish are so good and then dip their bread rolls in the sauce-- mmmm! They sell their homemade hot sauce too- so good! Really do love it, outdoor music is fun and just an overall great vibe

    If you're even remotely familiar with True Blood, this restaurant definitely has that Merlotte's feel to it (minus Sookie serving your dinner or Lafayette in the kitchen). Upon arriving we noticed there was a significantly large party here (family gathering of sorts) so I assumed the service for food would be a little slow, and it was. Our waitress wasn't all that friendly either and I guess that's because she was helping out with the large party nest to us. Service aside, my friend suggested we have the lobster bisque. Wow, it was incredible. Rich flavor in every spoonful. I could have easily had another cup of it. It's definitely something everyone should get before chowing down. As a main course my friends and I shared the scallops dish with a white sauce, an order of crawfish, and the creole shrimp dish. I never had crawfish up until this meal so I couldn't compare them to any others, but they were tasty. It's fair to say that the scallops were the crowd pleaser at our table. They practically melted in your mouth. The creole shrimp was a close second since it had lots of different flavors (spicy and sweet) that mixed together well. Overall the food was really great, so I'd definitely come back here to try out some of the other fare, but also to enjoy another cup of the lobster bisque.

    I am giving this s stars for several reasons. We didn't eat here, so I can't write much about the food. We did go in the evening dudring the live band, which was good, and I would rate them 5 stars for that. Unfortnately, I wasn't happy with the service the bartender gave me(this is only for the outside bar). I had ordered a maragartia, and about 5 mins later I saw an ANT in my drinks, so I told the bartender. Instead of saying sorry, let me make you a new drink or let me get you something else, she says this. Oh an ant, that must have fallen from the tree above you, but don't worry I am an expert at taking ant out of drinks and she takes a STRAW and sucks the ANT out and gives me back my drink. I was like really, thats disgusting. She was the blond lady with hair down to her shoulders, a little curly like it was permed! I would not go there for the drinks, but I would go and eat dinner and listen to the live band.

    My family and I were in Jensen Beach visiting a family friend, we don't know the area to well but some how we found this cute little town/area close to the water and we were all starving, we loved the name craw daddy's it was very catchy to us to we decided to eat there for dinner. We were a bit skeptical about eating there, we weren't sure if it was going to by a dingy bar type of place because there were people chain smoking right out front. We decided to go there to eat anyway. We shared a couple of appetizers to start which was half a dozen raw oysters and the crab cakes, my mom and our family friend said that the crab cakes were probably the best crab cakes they had ever had. The oysters were good but small. My mom and family friend decided to share a dinner and they got a special which was like a curry mahi mahi (Its not on the menu). They kind of liked it but it was just way to heavy and they both felt kind of sick afterwards. I just got a caesar salad but I enjoyed it. We would still love to come back and try more items on their menu. They have a fun and hip theme and it seems like a great atmosphere, I waitress was kind of annoying checking on us every 5 seconds and interrupting our conversations but i know she was just doing her job. I would just suggest that they keep their door shut so the smell of the cigarettes doesn't seep inside, because its kind of unappetizing to be eating with with an aroma of cigarettes.

    Went for lunch today... Fell in love with the outdoor patio... It gave a real Nola feeling. The food was pretty good. I had the po boy which was delicious - but I wasn't crazy about thE riCe and beans. My husband had the crab cake, which he said was ok- but he loved the potatoes and broccoli. Service was great. Overall good dining experience!

    Live music in the patio or eat inside at a table or at the bar. Shrimp & Chicken Gumbo and Jambalaya Pasta (Andouille Sausage, Chicken, Pork, Shrimp and Crawfish) were my choices. Mmm mmm good!!!

    Most of the time Crawdaddy's continues to delight! The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is energetic without being frenzied. When they're busy, there's a rumble of animated chatter...but it's never been too loud to have a conversation at dinner (until the music starts, that is!...but then we know when there's going to be music and can plan accordingly depending on whether chatting or music is higher on our priority list at that moment!) The last time we were there, the timing was off - our appetizer came out and right on top of it came our entrees. Since this was our fist premature entree-culation at Crawdaddy's, we're giving them benefit of the doubt for now. My fish was fresh, moist, flaky and had that cajun spiciness that I love. Yum!

  • Mary W.

    The food was amazing and the service was even better. Jessica was very attentive, but not rushing us We started with clam chowder which had more clams than any I've seen My husband had jambalaya pasta and started to get full so he decided to just eat the meats in it: shrimp, crawfish, sausage etc.but there was just so much meat he couldn't finish. The Cajun chicken pasta was amazing just enough of a kick. Absolutely delicious and such a big portion way too much to eat in one sitting. We were lucky to be here on a Friday to hear Alita and the boys--great voice and lots of good music. Great prices too for the amount of food.

    Everyone who lives or visits Jensen Beach has been to Crawdaddy's. If for some unknown reason you haven't ,whats your problem? Yes it's loud, yes it's crowded, and yes you'll probably have to wait for a table.Deal with it. The food is great.The spices they use are right from the best kitchens of New Orleans.Very large portions.Our server lastnight was Alison.She was just plain excellent.Beaware on Thursday's it is "Jammin Jensen ",so this place is crazy busy.Lots of fun.

    What a shame! We have eaten there many times and have always enjoyed everything about it and were looking forward to treating some guest to a fun night. The first thing we noticed that we were put in a back table around a corner so we could see the live entertainment ( always a great asset) and we had to requested the hostess wipe off the table. Waitress came with bread and took our drink order, 20 minutes later they arrived. She took our dinner order and was helpful with the broad menu. Drinks were gone and WE had to go in search for someone to take the order for the second round, once again another long wait. So we decided to have some bread that was our first warning to get up and go. It tasted like lighter fluid. When the drinks finally arrived we told the sever and she quickly removed it, no explanation. Our dinners can and several were, several being 3 of 6 were OK. The other 3 were lighter fluid flavored. The bill came I paid with a less than 20% tip. I finally decided this needed to be brought to someone's attention. I spoke with the manager who told me they had sealed the concrete floors after service the night before. Really! The hall to the, bathrooms had an overpowering chemical smell. I noticed as we left that they a fan blowing outside air into the restaurant . In fairness to the manager she comped two dinners and a round of drinks and explained about sealing the concrete floor. But really the better part of valor would have been to close for a night until the fumes were totally out of the building. Doubt if we will return.

    Definitely recommend this place. Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, and very good food. The jambalaya pasta was a bit overcooked but the taste was good nonetheless and not too spicy. The lobster bisque was sensational. I ate some of my girlfriend's snow crab legs and they were delectable. Mom mom Flo fully enjoyed her shrimp creole. She's from Louisiana and said it was very authentic. Pop pop Paul enjoyed the fresh fish. Watch out for the potatoes though...full of garlic. The bread pudding was delicious. It was drizzled in vanilla, as well as chocolate syrup, and had slices of banana. The brownie sundae was so sweet...Ian loved it.

    This place has been reviewed by plenty. We got a table on a very busy night (Jensen Beach has a street fair on Thursday evenings), drinks were delivered promptly and the wait staff (from Portland, IN!!) was awesome. Great suggestions, food was good and delivered in a timely manner. There was live music and lots of noise...it's not billed as intimate dining and it lived up to it's name. We loved it!!

    I was recently in the area from Tennessee on a business trip. This place caught my attention as I was walking by and heard the sound of live music. I stood for a moment wondering if I should check out the place. The hostess stood near the entrance and invited me in. I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was good with the outdoor patio dining and a great band! I ordered the crab cake appetizer and key lime pie to finish off. Both were delicious! My only issue was that it was just a bit chillier than I expected, but this was completely understandable, as it was mid-March. Overall, I was very pleased.

    I love this food. Best clam chowder around! I usually get the crawfish or the etouffe and have never been disappointed. They have an eclectic beer selection but it could be better.

    Cute little place with a great New Orleans ambience. The live band adds to the experience however if you don't like loud music don't sit outside! Food was alright... That being said choose this place if ambience is more important than taste!

    Took a friend to listen to some Blues music but none to be had that night. Relied on Ft. Pierce Jazz and Blues Society's website which must have some glitches so be sure to call ahead. We were there anyway so decided to sit down and have drinks and share a piece of Key Lime Pie. Pie was pretty darn awesome and service was excellent. Definitely a place I would try for lunch or dinner next time I'm in Jensen Beach.

    Usually I visit Crawdaddy's in the evening but was invited to lunch today by a friend. The food was very delicious and the service quick and efficient. Drinks were kept filled and anything we wanted was brought to the table quickly. Delicious food, good service...what more could you want.

    Yummy yummy yummy. Just left the restaurant, first time customer. Excellent customer service, excellent hot homemade hot sauce, excellent food. My husband ordered the steak Philly which was moist and very very tastey. Great seasoning. I ordered the crawfish étouffée which was delicious. The crawfish was soooo fresh and the sauce/gravy the crawfish was simmered in was amazing. This was my first time eating Cajun food and I was pleasantly surprised. And to top it all off their key lime pie was perfectly tart with a yummy buttery, graham crust. I will definitely be back. Special thanks to the owner for such great service. :)

    Great crawfish! Outside dining furniture needs to be up dated! Old dirty cushions available on less then half of the chairs, need to be thrown out. How about some new more comfortable outside seating! Menu pricing a little high. Bathrooms very dirty which usually means kitchen isn't much better. Outside music a little loud for conversation purposes. Service was good and waitress very friendly. Frogs leg special was excellent. I would return but please try and clean some things up!

    Good atmosphere, good service, decent food. Would've liked to have seen a spicy seafood pasta that was less greasy than the Pasta Jambalaya. It was dripping w/ grease. Tasty no doubt, but I'll be running for the hopper in no time. I had the Crab Cakes because the waitress said they were awesome. Hmm, I beg to differ. They were average at best. Did not touch the heap of mashies next to it either and the cakes seemed to be sitting on a bed of old and unwashed lettuce. The kids had Pasta w/ chicken (I had them do Penne instead of Linguine as I'm not sure why anyone would offer Linguine to kids) and it was a bit tasteless. I asked for serveral heaping spoons of parmesan cheese to perk it up a bit. The best thing we had were the Muscle appetizers. They were outstanding. The live music was decent but a little too loud for conversation w/ our guests and kids.

    Crawdaddy's is the best Cajun restaurant in the area. Check out Benjamin Mejia for live music on Tuesday nights. Eat outside on the brick patio covered by Banyan trees.

    Happy hour is amazing, buy one get one free on beers! I think it was less than 10 dollars for four beers, pretTAY sweet if you ask me! Waitresses were SUPER friendly and polite, definitely one of the better bars, and a fun atmosphere if you want something with a local feel!

    Great laid back atmosphere, really good food. Ordered steamed crawfish...not quite as good as "Nawlins" but not bad for southern Florida. Bowl of Gumbo was big - a meal - and very good also. But the surprise of the night was the Clam Chowder - FANTASTIC! Would have given 5 stars but the bread (while homemade) was not "French Bread" which would have been much more authentic.

    Been here a few times, food is always really good. I try something different every time I go and seems like every time its better than the last. Place has a cool atmosphere to it also. If you in the area, I recommend it.

    This place was a pleasant surprise! It was much less crowded than some of the other places nearby and the hostess practically dragged us in from outside. We were unsure, but we're glad we agreed to come in. Everyone that I was with agreed that the food was fantastic. The prices were very reasonable, and the service was friendly. This place is an all-around great seafood experience with a Cajun touch, and I will be coming back if I'm ever in the area again.

    Very good! Asked bartender what to have! Steered me in the right direction. Clam chowder rivals any I have had. Top notch, top notch! Asked for my entree spicy. It was spicy - not wimpy, not the cook showing me how hot he can make it. Had a new drink in front of me before I asked! Anyone bashing this place doesn't know how to order!

    No review for Crawdaddy's? Unpretentious little place with a New Orleans theme, has a cool bar, inside seating and a nice back patio with tables and what looks like a stage for live music, although there wasn't one while we were there. We had the gumbo and the jambalaya pasta, they were both out of this world! The service wasn't the best but I'll chuck it up to us having a new waitress. They also don't split checks so it's not the best place for large groups. It gets 3 stars because of the service we got during that visit.

    Absolutely delicious! Had lunch here yesterday and can't wait to go back. I ordered the blackened grilled shrimp and spinach salad with a delicious warm vinaigrette dressing. It is to die for. My husband had a bowl of clam chowder (it was huge) and it too was exceptional. Service was good. Recommend it highly.

    I like the entertainment on Sunday's. The food is good and the people there on Sundays has always been fun and exciting. Ive seen the place filled on other nights but I like the music on Sundays best. Inside is nice but outside is best. Yeah its noisy there's a band playing. If you want quite and cozy this is not the place. Its exciting and lively with good atmosphere and a variety of people eating and having fun. Ive been there 4-5 times and will go again.

    I went to Crawdaddy's with my parents to meet a long-time friend of the family who recommended this for dinner. Little did we know there would be live music, and since it was abnormally FREEZING outside, we had no choice but to sit inside where the noise was all but unbearable. I'll review each aspect of the place: Ambiance: Not bad, no parking really, but we parked in a bank parking lot around the corner and walked. It was pretty small inside, no more than 15-20 tables, but there is (I think) patio seating, and if it hadn't been so cold, we would have chosen this option. Service: Great. The waitress was very friendly, service was fast. Food: Not bad. Everyone at the table got fish, some mahi mahi, some grouper (the special). I had the Crawdaddy Saute, which sounded rather appetizing, but really wasn't anything special, and the tomato topping was a bit odd. The fish tasted fresh, was cooked well, was well seasoned. The garlic mashed potatoes were FABULOUS, and I enjoyed the green beans. Overall, I would probably give it another chance, preferably on a warmer day, and probably something besides the fish.

    N'awlins it's not. No oyster po boy on de menu, menu said dat dey will be happy to make special request, asked for OPB, the cook said NO. Server was nice but brought the wrong order out. They don't take American Express so I won't be back. Very noisy, loud music I can do without while dining.

    we were on vacation in port st lucie, i did my research on yelp before we left , my inlaws kept our 12 year old for the night so the rest of the grown ups could have a night out, so i took my wife and another couple to this place , great music , we sat in the back outside near the bar with a giant lit up tree in the middle of the bar, before our food could arrive the rain started to pour on us with no cover, 2 great females came to our table quickly moved us to another table but it was still in the rain , then came the motorized awning that covered most of the out door seating area , it was awesome the food was great , the jumbalaya over rice was to die for , i highly recommend this place , i want my own seat at the bar with my name on the back of the seat !!!!!! thank you !!!!!

    We were disappointed. The oysters were not that great and not very cold. The lobster bisque was forgettable and so was the pasta we had. On the upside, they had some GREAT live music.

    Blackened chiken with bourboned peaches is a must have. The gumbo is great too. It's a little too loud for me when they have loud music, but the wait staff is consistently fast and friendly. My favorite place to eat in Jensen.

    Louisiana cookin' with a bit of a dive bar attutude, and some faux Louisiana fusion with other cuisines, take your chances. Excellent soups (gumbo, and really good chowder), nice etouffee, decent pork chops--but too much food on that plate for a lady and the pork chops were center cut but no bone, not what this meat needs. Fair selection of wines, decent beer list, noisy bar, touristy and local hangout atmosphere, nice for a fairly cheap dinner.

    I dined here last week during their high season, and wished we had dined elsewhere. First, the hostess wanted to seat us right near the door where all the waitstaff and other patrons enter, when there were plenty of other tables further away from the door. Second, the bread - ugh. Isn't this supposed to be cajun influenced? The bread was a cold, stale loaf of white bread- not a baguette you would expect. I had the etouffee, which was just ok, not a depth of flavor you would expect with this type of cuisine, made just hot, not spicy or deep. My companion had the chicken, a pedestrian chicken breast with some cheese on it. Oh, and the music? Four codgers with a keyboard singing boogie fever and cisco kid. Not zydeco? Not blues or jazz? The restaurant is nice, but bad food, bad music. Won't go there again.
