About this Experience

What you’ll do:

Experience the best damn Crawfish boil you'll ever have.

As the dedicated local crawfish experts, our small, hands-on two-person team arrives ready to curate your ultimate New Orleans experience. We believe a great party means great atmosphere, so we skip the big, impersonal industrial trailers to build a stunning, rustic, authentic serving station designed for the best party photos and flow.

We personally manage every element of the boil, delivering Louisiana's freshest crawfish with explosive flavor that only a local, hands-on operation can guarantee. We handle the entire spectacle, from the perfect boil timing to the dramatic final dump and complete cleanup, ensuring you and your crew spend every moment celebrating.

We stand for Untamed Authenticity and against the standardized, corporate feel of the high-volume catering establishment. Our mission is to provide the most authentic, high-impact crawfish experience in New Orleans by focusing relentlessly on flavor, atmosphere, and superior, personalized service. We love our community and can't wait to share our traditions with you.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Unbeatable party vibe (We are the small, personalized team focused intensely on atmosphere and fun, guaranteeing a genuine NOLA feel that high-volume, standardized caterers simply cannot deliver)

  • Mouthwatering crawfish quality (Our expertise means we personally source and boil the crawfish, ensuring a superior taste and freshness that you can immediately tell is authentic. You tell us the spice level. What can you handle? Want us to throw a pineapple in the boil? A ham? Whatever, sounds fun. We can get creative)

  • Built for social sharing (Our custom, rustic setup is intentionally designed to be highly photogenic—the perfect, unique backdrop for your group's best party pictures)

  • Expert, stress-free hosting (We manage the entire chaotic process, using our expertise to handle everything from setup to the detailed cleanup, allowing the host to relax completely and enjoy the party)
