Crawfish Cove

Crawfish Cove is a locally owned Cajun and seafood restaurant at 4934 Estes Pkwy in Longview. Uniquely Longview magazine includes it on its list of established, locally owned seafood and Cajun restaurants in the city. Longview sits close enough to Louisiana that crawfish season is a real event here, and an independent boil house is where that gets taken seriously. Seasonal seafood is a hard business to run from a corporate playbook — the supply moves, the prices move, and somebody has to make the call every single week — which is exactly why locally owned places tend to do it best. Crawfish Cove sits south of town on Estes Parkway, an easy run down from the middle of Longview. Because availability shifts with the season, calling (903) 736-0345 first is the smart move.
