March and April are prime time for crawfish in Louisiana. The best way to enjoy them is to gather your friends and boil your own, but sometimes you just need a fix. So we’ve put together this list of neighborhood spots where you can get your fill of good boiled mudbugs.
Whether you want to pick up a sack to-go or sit down and enjoy a plate with all the fixings, here are some Uptown businesses where you can get freshly boiled crawfish. If we missed your go-to spot, let us know in the comments. And of course, follow all Covid guidelines so that everyone can have a good time.
