Crawfish season in Pearland: what to know

Crawfish season in our part of Texas runs roughly January through June, with the back half of spring being the busiest stretch. Here’s the practical guide to ordering during the rush.

The pots we run

Three crawfish-forward boils on the menu year-round, but we lean into them hard during the season:

• Thai Basil Crawfish - 2 lb tossed in fragrant Thai basil, lemongrass, and our aromatic spice blend. This is the pot people drive in for. It usually sells out by 8pm on Friday and Saturday.
• Dragon Sauce Crawfish - same pot, our signature Cajun-Vietnamese blend. Spicy, garlicky, the back of your throat will know.
• Captain’s Feast with crawfish swap - if you want a mixed pot, we’ll swap the snow crab cluster for crawfish.

Sizes and what they feed

A 2 lb pot feeds one person who is serious about crawfish, or two who are sharing alongside other dishes. For groups, the Dragon Platter is the call.

Calling ahead

Friday-Saturday during peak season, the wait gets long after 6pm. If you’re a group of 4+, call (832) 328-5123 when you leave the house. We’ll have your order ready when you walk in.

Why we sell out of Thai Basil first

Thai basil holds its volatile aromatic oils for a few hours, then it’s just basil. So we cook it down small batches a few times a night. When we call out “we’re out of Thai Basil” mid-service, that’s why - the next batch is on the burner, but you might be waiting 20 minutes.

If you’re patient, it’s worth it.
