🦞 Crawfish Availability Disclaimer:
We’re planning for unlimited crawfish boils, but please note—crawfish supply is subject to seasonal availability and weather conditions. July marks the end of crawfish season, and while we’re working closely with our distributor to secure the best and the most, quantities are not guaranteed. Come early and come hungry—we’ll have plenty of seafood options regardless!
