“ A friend told me about Lazy J and we decided to try it yesterday. The crawfish and shrimp have great flavors. Definitely took care of my cravings. The staff was helpful and the food was brought out quickly. It's BYOB, so bring your cooler. Also only some of the tables had umbrellas, not sure if more umbrellas were available. As we were leaving, the manager told us there would be a band playing later and they would also be serving barbecued alligator. Unfortunately I could not make it back. ”
“ We had a bunch of crawfish over here for the very first time and Lane made the best bunch of spice crawfish and shrimp! The flavor was perfect and nice and spicy!! I hope he makes it again the next time! ”
“ Well, how would one ever explain this place. Perhaps "diamond in the rough"? We drove by this establishment on the way to San Marcos. Honestly it was pretty nondescript. Didn't really look like much from the main road and I didn't give it a second thought. After taking care of a little business in San Marcos, I told my partner in crime that I was hungry and wanted to eat. While I was googling local eateries, she suggested Lazy J Cajun. I hummed and hawed but gave in and away we went. We parked in the front of the building and walked to the entrance around back and were blown away!!! The atmosphere is rustic with picnic tables and plenty of shade to sit in. There was even a beautiful stage on site so it would stand to figure that live music happened there as well. We ordered nachos while we scoured the menu trying to decide what we wanted to eat. The wait staff were incredible and everyone was so very friendly. A gentleman whom I presume to be the owner, talked to us and thanked us for stopping by. He let us know that their liquor license was forthcoming but for now it was BYOB if that is what we wanted. Luckily, we had a couple a bottles of Moscato in tow so that worked out great! While we were trying to decide what to order, another patron dropped a large tray of crawfish off to both us and the table beside us saying it was too much for them to eat. I can see why!!!! it was the first time I had ever had crawfish and once word got out about this, I reached celebrity status! After trying the crawfish (and loving it) our food arrived. We ordered some seafood platter thing with jumbo shrimp, crab legs, corn and potatoes. The food was absolutely fantastic!!! Just when we thought the experience couldn't get any better, a band called "Off the Grid" set up and started playing. This quick stop for a bite to eat was now going on a five hour extravaganza! The band was fantastic and incredibly entertaining. Our waitress brought us some banana pudding which ended up being the best I had ever had. There is really no way to accurately portray how fun this adventure to Lazy J Cajun's was but we are certain to become regulars for sure! Thank you to everyone we met there for making our afternoon one of the most memorable evenings in recent memory. Great food, fantastic entertainment, friendly ambiance, extremely fair pricing all came together to make for a perfect way to spend an afternoon and evening! ”
“ What great food! The food here will not disappoint. I will definitely be returning. The blacked catfish was so tasty. The banana pudding was off the the charts. The crawfish was very good as well. They will be having outside entertainment when the weather is warmer. ”
“ When you first drive up and park, you think, "what a dive." Been to many really good dives so wasn't put off at all. Had a bock and Twisted Tamales, soooo good! Everyone around us was eating the crawfish as they were running an all-you-can-eat special that particular day. Apparently, the special was posted on their facebook page so be sure to check that out before you go. It was an unexpectedly cool, drizzly day so I wasn't dressed warm enough. Seating is 100% open air with the smaller area under a covered patio and that was full. We had to sit under the canvas tarps. Check the weather and dress appropriately! ”
“ Absolutely best crawfish I have had. I love traveling and I can say these are even better than what I’ve had through out Louisiana. Great out door patio and the live band gave it a fantastic ambiance. Staff is super friendly, professional and on point. I highly recommend stopping in and giving it a try. ”
“ Awesome authentic seafood! We had crawfish, sausage, and crab legs. All of it was amazing and hot. Our daughter tried to eat a corn and it brought tears to her eyes due to spice to its hot and like crawfish should be! They offer a very good garlic butter dipping sauce as well that was fantastic! Also, had great pricing and specials with good customer service as well! ”
“ We had an awesome time. This is an outdoor establishment so be aware of the heat. Realized our fan was not at the highest setting so fixed that and it was more comfortable. The biggest issue which tends to happen in outdoor eateries is the flies which happens to be a trigger for our oldest. The quality of the food and service more than compensated for this inconvenience in my opinion. Like that they had cornhole which I would check out when waiting for the next round of AYCE snow crab! We had a good time and look forward to the next visit. ”
