Highly recommend the steaks or grilled seafood. Crawfish (when in season) is their speciality so give that a try as well. Had the fried okra and crab cakes for an appetizer tonight. Fried okra was really good. Crab cakes were a little bready. While they do have a non-smoking section they also have a bar in the same building and the smoke can be a little annoying.

A Delta Dinner for 10. Hidden between all of the Merigold Red Light cameras, watch yourself, this is a Delta gem. We started with a handful of appetizers, from crawfish to cheese-dip they were all wonderful. Several ribeyes were ordered, a few NY strips, a catfish and my Shrimp Sultana. The waitress advised going with the Shrimp Sultana over Shrimp & Grits, because you can make that at home. The Shrimp Sultana was this taste sensation, shrimp (duh), crawfish, veggies and an amazing cream sauce. Have no fear, plenty of shrimp & crawfish. Great service as our waitress made many, many, many trips to the bar and back, and never let us get thirsty. If you find yourself in the Delta and hungry consider stopping in.

Had Mahi Mahi tonight - really great seasoned wonderfully and had grilled squash zucchini and asparagus- hubby had filet which was good!! Also had crab cakes ( some spice cumin I think that was detracting but good!!) fried okra appetizer was a special and these southerners could not turn down ( almost good as mommas) chocolate cobbler and bread pudding to finish AMAZING !! Great waitress!! Fast service!!
Highly recommend the bone in pork chop. As good if not better than any I've ever had. Side dish of sweet potatoes was excellent as well. Do stop in if you have a chance. Plus ben luther has never been wrong about food quality ...great pick Ben!!

High expectations--not met. The building looks nice when you first walk in, but quickly you realize it's too big for its staff to run properly. A trip to the restroom immediately sounds the alarm that the cleanliness is subpar. This is further accentuated when you sit down at a table and find the tacky red plastic cover sticky, and chewing gum on the wall. Worst of all, the paper menu is disgusting. Stains, food particles, grease, and obvious signs of age make you not even want to touch it, much less turn the page. At this point I'm ready to bolt, but it's not convenient. So the horror continues and the first round of drinks served in antiquated plastic cups further solidifies the lackluster experience. Sweet tea that is so sweet it's undrinkable is merely par for the course. But wait. There's more. The fried dill pickles arrive and they are soggy and dripping with oil. Basically inedible the waiter's only response to the questioning of such a disgusting dish is that the chef doesn't always send the pickles through the apparatus that is supposed to drain the excess oil like he is supposed to. Awesome, I'm so glad he decided to slack off tonight. The rest of the meal followed in similar fashion, all the while we couldn't wait to get out of there. Unfortunately, the suffering wasn't left behind in Merigold. Everyone ended up with upset stomachs within a couple hours. Two stars instead of one for the nice building and crawfish that wasn't terrible. But we won't be back. And won't recommend. Sad, seems like the place has a lot of potential.

Terrible service. They cancelled a party we booked months in advance, on very short notice. They promised to make the food free of charge, deliver it and provide utensils to make up for it. They not only didn't deliver the food on time, it was an hour late and we had to go get it ourselves! No utensils, and it was cold. If you want real service, go see Cole at Delta Meat Market. He saved our party when Crawdads tried their best to ruin it.

I had the steamed crawfish here, and they were awesome. This place was a little off the beaten path, but is worth checking out.

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere; the ony thing I could possibly knock them on is price. If you're visiting the Delta or moving there, this should be near the top of your list of places to go. If you already live there, you've probably already been!

Crawdad's is serious business. They have huge portions, so be ready for that. They have the best fried pickles ever, yummy gumbo, and tasty (and large) entrees of steaks, catfish, etc. A fun stop in Merigold!

The best restaurant that I've been to so far in the Delta! Went here last night for my girlfriend's birthday, and it was amazing. I didn't have a reservation so I called and the manager was very friendly and accommodating; even though they had a packed house he assured me that he could fit us in and sure enough a nice secluded two-top booth was waiting for us when we arrived. The service was excellent - Ann was our server and she was on point. Full bar, and the bartender made me an excellent old-fashioned, and my girlfriend had a solid Margarita. The appetizers that we ordered were grilled oysters - topped with brown sugar, bacon, black-pepper roasted jalapeño slice, parmesean, and Sriracha - which were delicious. We also had a crab cake - served with pickled vegetables and remoulade - which was very good. I ordered an 8oz filet cooked medium rare, and it was mouth watering. It was wrapped in bacon and melted in my mouth. My side was a stuffed potato (similar to a twice-baked) and it was delicious. She ordered Salmon, which was displayed nice over lettuce, tomato, feta, red onion, and artichokes, with a red wine vinaigrette. The ONLY 2 complaints would be 1. No bread served before the meal - but this was ok as each entrée was served with a nice crispy piece of grilled Tuscan bread. And 2. The butter and sour cream that I asked for with my potato were packets (not fresh), but this did not take anything away from my meal. The bill was very pricey, but expected and worth it. Finally, the atmosphere was perfect. It had the feel of a hunting lodge, with a plethora of stuffed animals, antlers, reptiles, etc, and many pictures on the walls of who I assume is the owner and his sons with their hunting prizes. The booth that we sat at in a somewhat secluded room was great for a date night, and very romantic. They had other secluded rooms that looked perfect for larger parties. After dinner we went to the bar for another drink, which certainly was bumping for a Saturday night in the Delta. There was live music (a duo on guitars and singing), and a large, warm crowd (which seemed mostly local, but very welcoming) socializing in the large bar area. I would highly recommend this fine establishment.
