Big Cab’s Crawfish Cabin

Crawfish– delicious… Boiled to perfection with corn, potatoes, and mushrooms. And the owner even brought a sample of gumbo which was also awesome. Nice dark roux, very well balanced with the perfect amount of spice! Can’t wait to return to try the boudin!

Had a family dinner with crawfish (spicy and tasty), shrimp (spicy and tasty), andouille sausage (bland), boudin (really tasty), crab cakes (ok, more filling than meat), and gumbo (very tasty, lots of little shrimp, but a bit spicy), and finish with bread pudding (very nice). Prices were pretty reasonable overall. Flavors were great. Not much seating and put off a bit by the overall seating area, so we took the food home. Just a road side trailer with a few picnic tables near a run down building. Overall my kind of place and I liked it a lot. I will be back, but may not be the kind of place everyone enjoys.

Big thumbs up from our entire family! We’ve been wanting to try Big Cab’s for a while now and they did not disappoint. We had crawfish, shrimp, seafood gumbo and sausage. Their seasoning for the crawfish was right on — spicy and flavorful. We enjoyed meeting the owners. Robert and Julie thank you so much for your hospitality. We will be back!

We decided to be adventurous and tried a crawfish food truck that we passed by everyday. We were so exited, ordered and thought he price is high but hey let’s see.
We had a sad experience, food is really disappointed hence it is so overprice for food truck. Don’t waste your time. 8.50 for a super small bowl of mostly rice gumbo, and 4.50 for all over cooked rice boudin, pick your poison. All was 30 something and we left very disappointed, in food and in finding a good food truck around this area.

Tried this place for dinner tonight. I jokingly told the folks at the window that I’m a Louisianian and that they had to impress me. Well, impress me they did!
I ordered the crawfish po-​boy with red beans and rice as my side. I also got boudain link a la cart. Man! The po-​boy was served open faced, dressed with their house spicy mayo, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. The spicy mayo wasn’t my favorite. It wasn’t bad. I just prefer the Louisiana way with plain mayo, lettuce, tomato and hot sauce. I suggest getting the sauce on the side. Bring your appetite if you order their po-​boy. It’s MASSIVE. They are not stingy with the crawfish. I’d like to make a suggestion to them to slice the tomatoes rather than dice them.
The boudain link was delicious. The right amount of spice. It was served with crackers and spicy mustard. Never had that before but a very nice touch. The red beans and rice were bananas! Oh my goodness. Seriously? I could have order just a couple of links and red beans and rice and been legit happy. As a matter of fact I think that I’ll have that for lunch tomorrow.
Give this spot a try. I promise that you won’t be disappointed!

I’ll cook the turkey, but this Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for getting ALL THE TRIMMINGS from Big Cab’s Crawfish Cabin. It’s soooo good and soooo easy!!!

Let me start by saying I’ve had good experiences here in the past. But my last visit was terrible.
Myself and 4 other friends went there Friday the 24^th. Collectively spending close to $ 70.
It took 1.5 hours to get our crawfish and other sides and they were brought in piece meal.
All the crawfish were tiny and not cooked long enough because the tail meat stuck in the tails.
I sent them a very nice email explaining our experience and it’s now 4 days later and not a word from them.
I live across the street and could have been a huge advertisement asset, but not now. I’ll go to other crawfish establishments and spend my hard earned money.
If they would reach out and make this right, my review could be amended!
Update: finally a response. I’ll let you be the judge if you can read past all the grammar issues.
Their response: Hey bud, Im reaching out to you,
I don’t really appreciate your little coments or reviews on Unilocal,We did not respond to this message you sent us beacouse i usually don’t respond to negativity. If you were any type of man insted of giving my 16 year old daughter a hard time that day you should have come on over to me and tell me your concerns, we were very bussy that day and your friend toni even said you guys waited an hour before you placed your order that day. So there is your hour and a half wait you talked about. If you were sober that day you would have maybe not waited an hour before placing your order. We are a small 3 person family run business that is very bussy and do a pretty damn good job at trying to make all our customers happy. You are the One and only One that has responded in this way. You are not welcome at our place anymore and you can take your little hard earned money you make and gladly spend it somewhere elese. Please stop harrassing and slandering our buisness If you feel the need to say something Come see me like a Real man would, you know where im at. Texting and leaving bad reviews is not something I would expect from a former owner especially sence you live across from our buisness and our house. You went about all this very cowardly, Very Disappointed!
My thoughts :
1^st our total time there was 2.5 hours because we did wait an hour before ordering because we were catching up with friends. So the actual 1.5 hour wait time was correct. Second, none of us were drunk. 3^rd, While I did express my concerns to the 16 year old girl, I told her I realized it was not her fault and that I felt bad for her since her parents left her there by herself. 4^th, the Bozo that responded telling me I should have came to him, well he WAS NOT even there.
5^th, any good business owner should welcome «any» feedback (not just the good), otherwise they will never grow and know were their weaknesses are to improve. This guy is obviously a loose cannon and will never expand, but keep his little redneck roach coach.

Love how authentic it is. Crawfish are large, but they aren’t super spicy which gives you the liberty to spice them up as you see fit.

Damn tasty BIG crawfish. They let us sample their gumbo, and my boyfriend promptly ordered a bowl. He loved it. The service was good and fast. I’m a crawfish monster, and I live less than a mile away so this is going to be my new go to crawfish joint.

This trailer off the side of Gosling is cute and has the right idea.
Maybe it was an off day, but my expeirience was just ok. We wanted to try it out so we opted for a small portion. We walked up to the window and placed our order for crawfish. The person at the window seemed a bit distracted. We placed our order and sat down on the picnic benches next to the trailer. About $ 6ish per pound. Super rustic setting haha– paper towels and hot sauce on the tables and a cooler of water w hand soap to clean your hands after. Our crawfish came out in a styrofoam to go box. The flavor was not the same as I’ve had in baton rouge– something missing, spicy but lacking flavor. The quality of the crawfish was ok– definitely was not the same quality as what i had in baton rouge 2 weeks prior. Like i said, maybe it was a bad day. If the crawfish was better, it would be a better experience. Lots of people seem to frequent this trailer though. Its located right next to a cute farmers
Market store and berry picking farm– so a cute outdoor hang out for family, friends, date or just solitude.

The young family running this crawfish stand was really nice. They had my bag ready inside of 5 minutes.
It’s the beginning of April, so the crawfish were of a descent size. $ 6.99 a pound.
Although I was glad to see the seasoning was added to the boil rather than the outside of the crawfish, both my wife and I found them to be pretty mild in spice level as well as bland in overall flavor. I’m from Louisiana, she’s from the Woodlands. More crab boil, garlic, salt, and some red and white pepper would have helped a lot.
That said, there was a guy in line next to me who liked them a lot and said it was his third time there. I’d recommend getting just a pound first before ordering more.
Skip the sausage. It’s no way near being worth $ 2 for a 6 inch link.
Nice folks, great idea, great location. I just wish they would improve the product.

$ 5.99 per pound. Crawfish okay. They were on the small size. Boudain great and spicy.
Friendly people. Eat there on a nice day. Right by a farmers market.

Grabbed some ‘early-​season’ crawfish on Superbowl Sunday from this place after seeing all the yellow signs on Gosling. Not bad. Not bad at all. I’m going back.
The Crawfish: January was unusually cold this year so the crawfish I had were too small and too soft. I’m definitely waiting couple weeks before buying them again from anywhere.
The Boil: They use more than just plain ol water. That’s for sure. I couldn’t tell you what it was or begin to describe how it tasted but it seemed to bring out the crawfish flavor though.
The Seasoning: I’m talking about the stuff they add to the crawfish after the boil. This place didn’t add any seasoning to my order which was fine. They gave it to me on the side. That’s what I like so I can add as much as I want on my own if I want to. More traditional. Nothing worse than too much seasoning on crawfish all you taste is HOT and salt.
All and all… I think it’s worth 4 stars. The owner has talent. The crawfish are good. The gumbo was on point. I sampled some while I was waiting. Rich dark brown sauce, tons of flavor, chunky pieces of meat, and other good stuff.
Let’s see how they do this spring when the season really picks up.
