The Best Places to Get Crawfish in Atlanta

The best places in Atlanta to find crawfish all have something in common. Typically, they have some cajun influences in their menu – after all, Louisiana is where the majority of the U.S. crawfish industry is located. And thanks to those cajun influences, all of these places are typically committed to letting the good times roll! Whether you like it fresh out of the boil or a fryer, we’ve found a few places around Atlanta where you can get fantastic crawfish dishes.

The Best Louisiana Crawfish food truck

(470) 449-4239

It’s always good to go to a crawfish boil, but sometimes it’s better when the boil comes to you. The Best Louisiana Crawfish food truck operates as a ghost kitchen/food truck/catering business, but the crawfish is always full of flavor. Give them a call to set up an appointment or check their website for specials and food truck locations.

Big Easy Grille

1193 Collier Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

(404) 352-2777

West Midtown’s favorite kitchen for cajun food is at Big Easy Grille. They’ve got a crazy good crawfish ettoufee, but our favorite bite may be the Crawfish Po-Boy – it’s fried catfish tails with creole mayo on French Bread. It’s a delicious lunch if you’re craving crawfish.

The Boiler Seafood

2425 Piedmont Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30324

(404) 254-1428

Folks who work at MARTA or nearby the Lindbergh MARTA station know all about The Boiler Seafood. They have a full cajun inspired menu with incredible mixed seafood boils that include crawfish, shrimp, mussels, crab and more. You can also order crawfish by the pound, which goes great with some cocktails after a long day of work.

Bon Ton

674 Myrtle St NE, Atlanta, GA 30308

(404) 996-6177

Can crawfish be cool? Bon Ton certainly makes them cooler somehow. Maybe it’s the fun atmosphere or the first rate menu of Viet-cajun dishes. Or maybe it’s the off beat energy of the owners and staff. Either way, you can get an incredible crawfish along with fried crawfish tails and crawfish po’ boys all at Bon Ton.

Hugo’s

10360 Alpharetta St, Roswell, GA 30075

(770) 993-5922

Roswell’s favorite spot for cajun and creole food, Hugo’s has plenty of delicious crawfish throughout their menu. Try the cajun egg rolls with crawfish, andouille, boudin, collards, cheddar and remoulade, the savory crawfish étouffée and their mouthwatering crawfish fried rice. When you’re looking for crawfish but not in the mood for de-shelling, head to Hugo’s.

Juicy Crab

Multiple locations – check website for details

You’ve probably got a Juicy Crab near you – they have been popping up throughout Atlanta over the past few years and are now in 20+ neighborhoods in the metro and more in Georgia. But every location delivers on some of ATL’s best crawfish and crab boils. Get your crawfish as a combo or by the pound, served with their mouthwatering garlic butter sauce.

Krabs Hut

1162 Moreland Ave SE Suite 600, Atlanta, GA 30316

(404) 343-0407

If you keep heading South on Moreland past East Atlanta Village, you’ll find one of ATL’s best hidden gems for crawfish at Krabs Hut. They’ve got great crawfish combo platters served with corn and potatoes, but we suggest getting a side of the cajun noodles, which have a spicy, buttery flavor that’ll blend beautifully with your crawfish. Consider ordering some fried frog legs before you dig in to dinner.

Shaking Crawfish

5412 Buford Hwy NE, Doraville, GA 30340

(770) 559-5839

It’s hard to miss the large, round retro building and Shaking Crawfish sign when you’re driving down Buford Highway. But they’re more than just an eye-catching sight along the road – they have a delicious Viet Cajun menu with tons of incredible crawfish options. Order crawfish egg rolls, crawfish boils, and combo plates with some of your favorite seafood, cajun fries, corn on the cob and more.
