Free crab on your birthday!

This Cajun soul food spot located in a mini-mall on East 82nd Avenue has earned its legion of superfans. The restaurant is known for its popular seafood boils, po’boys, and fried or blackened seafood (which the restaurant will gladly smother in étouffée sauce); however, the restaurant’s crawfish étouffée —crawfish tail meat swimming in a buttery sauce of onions, peppers, celery, and garlic — is the people’s favorite.

IT SOUNDS ENTIRELY too unlikely to have resulted in anything delicious: Two Vietnamese brothers who grew up in Houston, Texas, open a Creole joint near the corner of SE 82nd Avenue and Division Street, next door to a Chinese restaurant and a “bubble tea” shop. But forsaking My Brother’s Crawfish just because of its out-of-the-way location or its owners’ seemingly tenuous relationship to authentic N’awlins fare would be a mistake. In fact, we can say with little doubt that this modest restaurant offers the best Creole cuisine in town.

Dinner was mostly good but the $44.99 crab boil was not a great value. Service was fine but super casual.

Reserved, and received confirmation, a table for 4 through OpenTable, and also received a confirmation the day of the reservation. I get there, and they've been closed for days due to a power outage. Not sure if this an OpenTable issue, or the restaurant's issue.

Food is amazing and what keeps me coming back. But everytime i have ever been the waitress has always forgotten something on my order and does not check in tables. If you need something it’s an extremely long wait. They would see so many more people in a night if the waitresses attended to the tables. They are always behind the bar talking. This night two tables walked out because they were not seen for a very long time then the waitresses were laughing about it.

Been going there since they opened up. Food is always on point. Service was off on this day. We ordered an appetizer and food. One person got his food quickly before the appetizer, then the appetizer came. So we waited another 10-15 minutes for the rest of us to get our entrees. The server said she gave us someone else’s food, and acted like it was no big deal. I’m not saying I won’t go back, but the service was a turn off.
