eafood and Crawfish – Cajun Cravings Near Galleria at Tyler, but Falls Short on Execution
Located in Riverside and just across the street from the shopping center: Galleria at Tyler, Seafood and Crawfish offers a rare Cajun-style seafood option in the area. Open until 10 PM, it’s a convenient spot for a late dinner after a long shopping day—especially when most other nearby restaurants are winding down.
The storefront is visually appealing, with flashy signage and seafood-themed décor that continues throughout the interior. Walking in, you’re greeted by walls covered in ocean-inspired decorations, setting the stage for a flavorful meal. Unfortunately, the ambiance didn’t quite match the service. When I arrived, no staff acknowledged me until I had to call someone over to be seated. The service remained slow and inattentive throughout the visit.
I ordered a half-pound each of whole shrimp and crawfish, with the house mix of Cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper at mild spice level. The sauce was overly thick and heavy, masking rather than enhancing the seafood flavor. The shrimp were decent, offering the classic satisfaction of peeling and dipping, but the crawfish were disappointing—lacking tenderness, and many pieces were undersized and not fresh-tasting.
To make matters worse, no water was offered, and I only received gloves and a bib after specifically requesting them, despite ordering messy boil-in-bag seafood.
While the concept is promising and the location convenient, both the food quality and service standards need significant improvement.

We came on a Saturday and they weren’t busy. The customer service was ok. I ordered shrimp head on, potatoes, mussels, eggs and the all in sauce, mild. My husband had the catfish basket with a side of fried shrimp. The food overall was not that good. The sauce taste like it may have been made with bay leaves and some type of tomato sauce/paste or something and it taste a little funny. It’s not close to any of the standard seafood boil taste you’d be expecting, like boiling crab or pier 88. The catfish does not taste like catfish but instead previously thawed out cod fish. Neither the shrimp or catfish was seasoned. The regular fries was the best part. Overall I would give the food a 4 out of 10. I will not be returning and I would not recommend, respectfully.

Customer service is all right came on a Saturday. I spent $33 on shrimp two corns and two sausages. The food was hot very bland. The sauce does not give you flavor town. It taste like tomato sauce. The lemon doesn’t stick no matter how much lemon you pour does not stick a waste of money will not come back. Nothing memorable

Oh they are cheap when it comes to the paper on the table. It only covers like 3 quarters of it my husband and his friend was barely able to eat on top of it. I was like it does not matter we are not cleaning the table. I was kust caeful not to spill anything on the table. The water was not very nice and there was only one person for 7 or 8 tables and thats to much for just one person. We did have to wait for waiter a few times. Its not fair for us and her.i did like the fact that gave us a bottle of salt and pepper but it was more salt then pepper. Ill go back cuz the food is amazing my husband did not like fries but it was good to me.

Food was horrible no taste super high in price for no reason when food is trash need new cooks hospitality by owner is cool 4 star but food emptiness and price is outrageous and diabolical food is fer old people with health issues who can’t eat seasoning and flavor wouldn’t eat again honestly waste of money and for bogus meal and we left it over 75% on table of food and didn’t take it to go … As well as over sauced with teriyaki drowned the fries and chicken lemonade was watery why charge 5.50 on a drink that is technically water with coloring lame waste of money honestly

$5.50 for a soda? The shrimp had to be days old, horrible for a “seafood” place. Worst $120.00 I’ve ever spent.

After one visit, I’m very happy with Seafood and Crawfish in Riverside. We had a mixed bag of shrimp and crawfish in a mild Cajun sauce, and while I certainly wouldn’t call it spicy, it wasn’t exactly mild, either. The flavors were great, and the preparation was excellent. We added a couple corn cobs and some garlic bread, and it was great. We also had the fried shrimp and fries, which were also excellent. We took it to go, and everything was thought of, down to a paper table covering in the to-go bag. The prices were reasonable, the service was good, and the food was great. I’ll definitely be back.
