It's not a restaurant but Schaefer Seafood and goto the lakefront with them.



Capt Sid's is a noticeably better product than Schaefer's these days. I think Schaefer's may be struggling for some reason.

Redds. Best crawfish in town. They only do crawfish on fridays for $10.

I respectfully disagree. I've eaten boiled crawfish from Schaefer's for over 40 years and they are remarkably and consistently excellent. Their taste and spice never changes. Nothing wrong with Capt Sid's though. I go there a lot when Schaefer's is closed.

Agree. I’ve never had a problem at all Schaefers

I have eaten at Schaefers for 30+ years. For the past several couple years the crawfish have seemed smaller and not as fresh with lots of straight tails and smashed crawfish. I grew up on Schaefers, but have been disappointed the past couple seasons. I still like Schaefers saltier, milder boil, but I feel like Sid's just flat out serves better crawfish now.

I'm not sure how they are price wise in crawfish, but they are pretty damn expensive for everything else.

No. I’m not kidding. Crabman has been boiling for them and they’re freakin awesome. $3/lb last week for awesome crawfish and I don’t care that it’s walkons.

I’m not trolling. Anybody who’s had them will tell you they’re delicious.
