Hank's Cajun Crawfish

Ok..it's a tiny little hole-in-the-wall in a strip center- The decor is not it's main selling point (but at least they tried). The food, however, is AWESOME! Seriously, this is my new favorite fish place in Houston. I went with my wife and we ordered both the 4 fish platter and the 25 fried shrimp platter and split them between us. The shrimp were large and battered perfectly while the fish (catfish) were *huge*, served straight from the fryer and reminded me of the family fish-fry dinners from my childhood. I totally recommend this place and look forward to working my way through the rest of their menu.

I never understood why people go to a restaurant that is known for a specific thing, order something else then complain when it is not the best option. This place is known for crawfish (and if you ask me crab legs), and while other things are good, they are not known for bread, gumbo, chicken etc… lol Also, many people are comparing their spices to ASIAN style seafood. This is CAJUN… where the flavor is on the inside, not just tossed in sauces. If you want Asian style, go somewhere else. Please do not try and force this chain to adapt to this lazy way of preparing seafood. Hanks has been the OG of crawfish and seafood… please don’t change!

Went their close to closing time hoping I could get some food. The dude up front was very nice and helpful. And surprisingly their cawfish was live meaning it was fresh. So I ordered and also decided to get some tilapia. Both were really good, totally worth it. Just wish the size of both things was a bit bigger.
