I've recently moved to Milwaukee and have tried quite a few restaurants. As a seafood lover from Maryland, time after time I'm so disappointed with the seafood in Milwaukee (even at M'Oceans), but not at Crawdaddy's! Their seafood is fresh, delicious and prepared many ways. If you don't see something prepared the way you like, Chef John will happily prepare it as you request. I've tried the majority of the menu and have loved them all! Don't forget to take advantage of the seasonal specials, like soft blue crabs . . . YUMM! The food is very reasonably priced, for instance a big dish of crawfish, easily enough for two for as an appetizer, is delicious and only $7. Crawdaddy's is the only place I've found in Milwaukee that has GOOD fresh oysters. My favorite entree on the menu is the shrimp and crawfish stuff eggplant. I'm actually not an eggplant lover but whatever they do to it is simply exquisite. The service is fast and extremely friendly . . . they even make you feel like family. Yes, it can get noisy, so if that bothers you, try visiting for a later dinner. We just sit a little closer when it's noisy, which makes it romantic. Crawdaddy's is also a great place to bring groups like out-of-towners from work. They also just started opening on Sundays for football games, with a $10 buffet choc full of cajun goodies.
Pros: Cajun specialties, the BEST seafood, friendly service
Cons: parking on occassion, sometimes noisy
