We love to eat – and we dream of living in a world of great food. We believe our hot boiled crawfish rivals many eateries in New Orleans. Over time, our love for cajun seafood became a passion that drove us to bring that great taste to Virginia. We crave cajun seafood and thought that maybe there were other people who would have the same passion or could be introduced to this flavorful southern cuisine. We hope you’ll discover your love and enjoy the foods here as much as we do. Please sit down, relax and enjoy a delicious meal with your family, friends and those dearest to your heart. Let us serve you and make your experience enjoyable
Yours truly, The Live Crawfish & Seafood Family

The restaurant’s decor did not look enticing, so I was a bit “weary” when I sat down.

We placed an order at the restaurant. The waiter was extremely accommodating with our order. My wife can’t handle spicy food, but the rest of our party wanted spicy. The waiter took down the order and split it between spicy and non-spicy (above and beyond). He was extremely friendly too. The food was amazing. The best steamed seafood place in Richmond we’ve had so far. The meat was cooked perfectly. Extremely tender, meat pulled out perfectly, No albumin (white fat, it means cooked too hot and fast). It will be our go-to spot for this type of meal from now on in Richmond.

Live Crawfish & Seafood has been open since 2018, I have not heard about it until now. By far this is my most favorite Seafood Boil restaurant in Richmond. They make their sauce in-house and that is what made their food stand out from others. For someone who normally wouldn’t eat butter, I absolutely loved their Garlic Butter for dipping.

Very friendly service..very sweet waitress food was fresh steamed almost to perfection. Had snow and Dungeness crab legs. Shrimp was steamed wel( maybe could have cleaned a little better but still delicious). fried crabs were amazing and so was calamari appetizer. Loved how they bagged our leftovers for us and made it easy to travel back home with. I would definitely recommend this place!!

Fist time in a long time I have had a Louisiana style boil in Richmond. Dang it was good, I suggest the New Orleans style seasoning for the boil. If you know mud bugs then you know there is no comparison between live and frozen. I asked and they pick them up at the Richmond Airport direct from Louisiana and cook them fresh for you. I also had to try the raw oysters and they are local from the Chesapeake Bay and were delicious! The potatoes and corn on the cob were very good in the boil as well. The crab legs were not overcooked and awesome! The shrimp were large and cooked perfectly too! What a great experience!!!

I ordered a New Orleans fried platter. They told me they ran out of soft shell crab and offered to give me extra shrimp, I said that’s fine. When I get my order, it’s a small handful of fries, like 6 small pieces of oyster, as well as just a few small pieces of shrimp, and 1 catfish. I paid $24 for a meal that’s worth like $7-$10… what a scam ♂️

Dropped by a day they had blue crabs on sale. Service was excellent and the crabs were delightful. Would come back when they get another batch and/or for their other options.

We drove 2 hrs to check this lil place out. It is a small, casual dining atmosphere set back in a shopping center. Not busy on a SAT at 1pm so not sure how busy it can be. We were disappointed in the fact that they didn’t have live crawfish at the time of visit nor did they have raw oysters! We ordered the $59 dollar special with extra shrimp, head on and was enough for two. The shrimp were a little tough peeling, maybe boiled too long. The fried combo platter was a tad bit over fried and on the dark side, so you may want to specify your frying preferences. With that being said… The flavor of everything was really good, the service was really good, and if we lived closer we would definitely go back to try again.
