Crawfish Hole Number Two

This is the real Louisiana cuisine experience. Crawfish was amazing, I recommend ordering a pound per person if you are also getting an entrée. The BEST ettuffe I have ever had! Sad I didn’t order fried catfish because it looked good. I’m going back for sure within the week. Brought my whole family and we all enjoyed it. Our 15 month old even loved the gumbo, great family dining. Enjoy, because I know I did!

This place is awesome I would recommend this place to anyone. Great food and friendly people. Fried Crawfish Tails, French Fries, Coleslaw, And Hushpuppies.

Great place. The staff was nice and very helpful. Well priced. Plentiful portions. Well worth the stop.

We missed crawfish season!!! Everything was still very good. Very sweet waitress and staff. Pretty slow during off season, but would still recommend.

What a gem! I got the red beans and rice and it was one of the most delicious I’ve ever had! The staff was super friendly. Don’t pass this place up without stopping for a great meal!

I came from California to visit family out this way and they recommended this place and boy did we appreciate it. The catfish was perfectly fried and flavorful. They don’t fry fish like this in Cali ! I also had the crawfish étouffée. I love it, it also had a little kick at the end which was delicious. But I just cannot get over that catfish.

Love the crawfish hole #2. It has some really good food and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s hard to find crawfish anywhere else that beats how it tastes at this place during the season. The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because that even though I’ve lived in Minden for 25 years, the other patrons stare at you like you are from out of town. You can’t fault the business for it but it’s still annoying. Occasionally I get a slow waitress but the owners are super friendly and like to check on the customers.

The last time I was here the crawfish tasted saltier than I’d prefer. I would guess they boil it with the same water and ad seasoning each batch… It was way too salty, actually. If they could tone down that salty taste and add a little more spice it would be perfect.

Definitely the best crawfish around!

For the cajuns from south of I-​10– who don’t trust crawfish away from home– this is a safe place– seasoned very well!

Best crawfish I’ve had thus far — tender, sweet mudbugs with a true-​to-​Cajun kick of spicy heat! My wife ate 6 pounds of them…(she’s pregnant).

Stopped here during a cross country road trip. Reviews had a lot of stars but for some reason I still didn’t have high expectations.
Boy was I wrong! Everything was delicious. It’s a simple place, no frills, but the food itself is well worth the trip. I had catfish with shrimp etouffe and a success potato. Boyfriend had ribeye steak with etouffe and a potato and hush puppies. Also tried boudin balls for the first time — delicious!
Definitely stop here for a taste of Louisiana at a good price, right off the highway.

I stop here every chance I get through the area. Don’t waste your money on pricey restaurants. These two locations offer the real deal BOILS. Good prices. You order your Crawfish or shrimp by the pound and it’s poured out on your table for a great time of eating and socializing. You get melted butter and Cocktail sauce. They offer raw oysters and many other delicious dishes.

Lunch today on my cross country drive.
Service: staff all seated and eating at a table when I arrived. No big hurry. Somewhat helpful with making suggestions for my order.
Gumbo: weak, listless — no depth of flavor… shrimp and sausage. (Not even close to the gumbo I had at Herby-​K yesterday).
Shrimp po-​boy: bread was a disappointment — imagine a stale, lukewarm pepperidge farm roll. fried shrimp were ok… once again lacking flavor. A small iceberg leaf and two slices of tomato (on the side) allowed the sandwich to be considered «dressed».
The floor was sticky — hopefully from lots of cleaning fluid.
A couple of pictures to provide more context — food looks ok, just lacks flavor.
This stop was a waste of my time and money.

Just moved to Lake Claiborne from Austin and after 29 years of visiting and eating there just on special occasions, I’m stoked I can eat there weekly. They need to treat their wait staff better, but otherwise no complaints.

As a west-​coaster I’m no expert on crawfish, but when I ate here with a friend from Minden, I loved it! And it was obvious that everyone else stuffing down huge orders of crawfish felt the same way. The fries were great and so were the hushpuppies!

Very very good. Service was good, quick, and awesome. Travel all over the country and this is by far one of the best places I have been for food.
It is not a fancy place so don’t go expecting the Taj Mahal but it will be some of the best food you have had.

We are truck drivers & eat at lots of restaurants. This is THE BEST we ever had. EVERYTHING HAD A VERY FRESH TASTE. The fries were perfect. Wonderful tartar sauce & cocktail. Hushpuppies were great. We had shrimp that were delicious but lots of people were devouring bags full of crawfish. even kids! Truck parking right across the street. We will definitely put this on our «must remember list.» *****i20*exit44*****

Lunch was good, perfectly cooked fried shrimp po-​boy, crisp fries and nearly perfect crawfish euiteffee (bad spelling). Just need a bit more salt to taste. Great service, wish I could pack a few lbs if crawfish to take back to UT.

We had a party of 8 on a Tuesday night at 6pm. The restaurant was really quiet, especially since it is not crawfish season. Service was good, food was slow. We waited over 30 minutes, which is slow to me when there are only 2 more tables occupied. Burgers, fried shrimp, boiled shrimp, salads, Cajun stuffed potatoes, meat pies and crawfish pies were some of the things ordered. Everyone was satisfied with their food.
I myself had part of a crawfish pie which was delicious. I had mild boiled shrimp. They had just the right amount of seasoning. Skip the side salad — $ 3 for some eh lettuce and sketchy tomatoes. I think the corn would be a lot better if boiled with some seasoning.
All in all, good food and experience. I’ve eaten here several times in the past and this seems to be the case every time.
