Came across the trailer while searching on Unilocal.Thought I’d give them a try. The spicy garlic sauce she adds on top of the boiled crawfish is really good, the only complaint I can think of is the crawfish itself needs just a little more flavor. Other than that, I liked them.

I came here yesterday after reading all these wonderful reviews and am so glad I did! I woke up this morning running to the fridge for leftovers! When you walk into this establishment and place your order for them mud bugs(if that’s what you came for), Ms. Ana will show you the biggest live crawfish you have perhaps ever seen in your life! She will then boil them in a butter garlic sauce that will knock your socks off!!! This is worth the drive for anyone in the Houston area! I moved here 5 months ago from the Louisiana border and can honestly say that this is the best crawfish that I have ever had!!! I may go again tomorrow!

I just discovered this place, so at this point I have only had the boiled Shrimp, potatoes & corn. I can’t wait for Crawfish season to come back so I can check it out. My order is always ready when I call it in. The lady who runs the place is always friendly to me. They quantity of boiled shrimp for the price is great & it has just enough spice for me. They are slightly overcooked like someone else mentioned which does make them a little hard to peel. That is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars.

Don’t let the trailer fool ya! I came here from the reviews I read on Unilocal but almost didn’t go in because of the look of the place. GOIN! I had the jumbo boiled shrimp. They were huge and they were amazing! The garlic butter sauce and special seasoning sets them apart. Anne is very sweet. She sat and chatted with me(as I was in town alone on business). Great food

Best crawfish in Houston. It’s located in a little shack in front of Westbahn Auto Service. It is ran by little Asian lady named Anna whose been in the crawfish game for years. And Cuong. The gentle giant who keeps order in the place. I, myself am not big on crawfish since it’s so much work for a little bit of meat. I went here with the gf from Louisiana(who thinks of herself as a crawfish connoisseur since she grew up eating it) and she too had doubts about Texas crawfish and the reviews of this place. This all changed when we gave it a visit and now this is the only place we go to for her crawfish cravings. The crawfish is super juicy and succulent; the jumbo shrimps are full of flavor. All definitely worth the work to get to the meat. This is all possible from the secret garlic butter sauce. I find myself licking the crawfish shells all the time to savor the flavor. Unfortunately I no longer live in NW Houston, but if I’m ever in the area, this is the go-to spot for crawfish. They are planning on having snow crabs during crawfish off season and also working on a Louisiana style crawfish blend so I’ll definitely be back to try it out.

Hands down the best crawfish in Houston! I’m from southeast Texas and am very particular about my seafood. Anna never disappoints! The crawfish are delicious with just the right amount of spice! The service is spectacular and the place is always so fresh and clean! Don’t miss out!

I have been coming here for a few years and it is the best around. Guaranteed, she takes care of her customers. She picks out all of the debris and dead ones before cooking so that your getting the highest quality from her restaurant. I have tried other places around and have been disappointed but not Anna’s

I’ve had a lot of crawfish but Anna’s is the best hands down. They’re buttery with lots of garlic and just the right amount of heat. She gives you some dry seasoning on the side that is absolutely amazing. So glad I found this place.

The BEST crawfish in Houston… HANDSDOWN. Always big, hot and never mushy or over-cooked. I absolutely love Ms. Anna!!! She is very personable and attentive, basically a «people pleaser.» At first I would only order«To-Go» then one day I decided to eat inside and was alone. Her and her husband were extremely nice and conversed with me(I guess I looked lonely) throughout my meal. Crawfish ALWAYS available(cooked or live), are very big and are cheaper and better than some of the«hotspots» with long waits in Houston. I absolutely love this place. I eat here every other day. Don’t sleep on them.

This is one of Houston’s best kept secret for crawfish enthusiasts! It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the crawfish inside are amazing. By far the best garlic butter flavor in all of Houston. My sister-in-law was raving about this place for weeks, so I finally decided to give it a try last night. I spoke to the owner and she gave me a brief history of the place… She opened a crawfish restaurant a few years ago, but sold the business. After she sold the business, she received a proposition to help another person set-up a crawfish/cajun restaurant. That restaurant was called New LA Crawfish(one of my top crawfish restaurants to go to on Veterans Memorial). After she helped them with their opening, she decided to open up her own shop. Since opening her shop, she has perfected the garlic butter flavor. When I asked her why she didn’t want to open a bigger restaurant or offer additional menu items like fried rice or Vietnamese ice coffee, she said that she wants to give customers good and high quality food and in order to do that she has to focus on only a few items. Plus, she likes having her restaurant, but doesn’t want to work too hard =). I can totally relate! I’ll list the pros and cons, because I don’t feel like writing today. * PROS 1. The crawfish are very clean. The owner buys pre-washed crawfish and she washes them again before she cooks them. You wouldn’t find leaves, sticks or other debris in your meal. 2. The owner is super sweet. She reminds me of a much nicer version of my mom. 3. Her garlic butter crawfish or shrimp is the BEST — and I do not say that lightly. Most places use more oil than butter, but not this place. The crawfish were perfectly seasoned and cooked. 4. The owner only buys JUMBO crawfish when it’s in season. This means that when you order JUMBO crawfish, you get only JUMBO crawfish. I noticed that other restraunts mix the large and small crawfish together in order to save money.(Ain’t nobody got time for that!) 5. The fries are served in a generous portion and are perfectly seasoned and crispy. 6. The restaurant is very clean. This characteristic is very important to me. You can see into the kitchen, and when the kitchen is clean you can eat assured knowing that there are no «extra» ingredients in your food. 8. You can buy uncooked or cooked crawfish. Currently, the uncooked crawfish is $ 2.99-$ 3.49/lb; and the cooked crawfish is $ 6.99/lb. 9. The crawfish are fresh! She buys them daily versus restaurants that buy and keep their crawfish for several days. 10. I ordered 5 lbs of crawfish and it came w/2 corn and 2 potatoes. * CONS 1. The menu is very limited. No desserts, etc. Only go here if you are in the mood for crawfish, shrimp or fish and nothing else. 2. There is no soda fountain machine. This means that you have to order water and soda in a 16 oz bottle. 3. There is not a lot of seating in the inside. There are two tables that can accommodate 6 people each. There are additional tables outside, but it is not covered or shielded from rain. 4. There appears to be no restroom on the inside. I think it might be outside of the restaurant. There is a sink on the inside so you can wash your hands before/after you eat. 5. They close at 8PM. This means that if you want to eat around 7:50PM, I recommend you call in and place an order for pick up. 6. No music. I don’t need music when I go out to eat, but if you«need» it, you might«need» to go somewhere else Felicia. If you get the chance to travel towards this area, I definitely would recommend this place.

This place is great! I buy 100 lbs of live crawfish every year for our annual office crawfish boil. As another reviewer said, it is twice the price of the grocery stores but they are true«jumbo» crawfish. None dead and great fresh taste and meaty. You can even get some claw meat off of these monsters!

Ordered the large shrimp which comes with two corn and potatoes. Great seasoning. Great flavor. Only thing is that some of my shrimp were over cooked which meant hard to peel. I don’t know how this was possible because the rest of the shrimp were fine. This is a small place with two tables inside and some outside. Looks very clean and organized inside. Ladies working here are very friendly and polite. I can not comment on the crawfish since I didn’t get any but the lady showed me those little critters and they looked pretty big(maybe next time). I will be back.

Absolutely one of the best! I was skeptical when I only saw 3 reviews @ 5 stars so I decided to stop by on the way home. Whatever she puts in that seasoning, I want more! The crawfish is very fresh and the seasoning is to die for! Full of flavors — it’s spicy, flavorful, burst of garlic and a hint of sweetness, you have to check it out to believe it.

The price of live crawfish is twice other places but worth every penny. Bought 2 bags totalling 62 lbs today and had none dead in the bags. The crawfish were feisty and alive live I’ve never seen. The meat was soooo much better too. Go hit it up on Sunday even though Unilocal says it’s vlosed on Sundays because they get it right off the truck on that day!

This place looks really small on the outside, but that doesn’t mean anything! Don’t pass this place up. I found this gem last year and have been coming back regularly. They have one of the best crawfish in town. They are jumbo when in season. When it’s not in season, she will let you know what size they are. And it’s always cheap. Only $ 6.99 per pound. And they weigh it in front of you! The butter garlic sauce is good and full of flavor. Anna also sells the sacks of live crawfish and other seafood. I had the snow crab here and it was just as good. This place is ran by just her and sometimes her daughter. So it’s a mom and pops place. She makes everything herself. She is really friendly! I would definitely come back for more!!!

The craw-fish was seasoned perfect and t he Jumbo shrimp were delectable. Small but very clean facility. The lady doing the cooking I assumed was the owner, but not sure was very informative and friendly. I enjoy shrimp when you can actually taste the shrimp, but I gave the boiled shrimp a 5 because the seasoning was delicious!

Anna’s Crawfish & Seafood Market is delicious! The Boiled Shrimp w/Potatoes & Corn is amazing! It’s so good, I normally don’t eat Cajun Boiled Shrimps, but this item on the menu changed my mind! The Anna’s Special is also delicious, it comes with an assortment of fried seafood! Their homemade seasoning is delicious, it has a spicy and Cajun kick to it. The garlic butter in the boiled shrimp and crawfish tops off the whole thing and makes it worth the money! Yuuuuum!
