Circle M Crawfish

We love this place. Tonight we went for my nephews birthday dinner.

It was our first time here and Jess was fabulous! She answered questions on the menu and was constantly checking on all of her tables including us. She was so nice, fast and always had a smile even though it was super busy! The food was amazing! We will definitely be back.

This place is huge! The mild spice was tastey and not too hot. The server checked in on us frequently and was so welcoming.

A surprise and a gem. Shrimp was a little small. Oysters were larger. Evens out. Service was awesome

Food was delicious! Had the crawfish. Was delicious and very reasonable priced per pound. Went on a a Friday night, was packed but was only about a 15 min. Wait.

AMAZING. I loved everything. I usually don't like shrimp that it's fried but their shrimp was amazing. We had Crawfish, Catfish, Crab legs, shrimp and boudin balls. All of those things were great. The drinks were also good.

I finally had the absolute pleasure of trying the food at Circle M Crawfish - Big Sandy, TX, as well as staying in one of the their beautiful Airbnbs across the street from the restaurant. I’ve heard many good things about this place over the years, but I’ve never made the short drive to actually try their food. Shortly after sitting down, a very kind waitress came by and introduced herself. Unfortunately I don’t remember her name. She took our drink order and we all started looking over the menu. I knew I wanted to order multiple things. A few minutes went by and out came our drinks. We ordered the triple dipper and the bacon wrapped jalapenos and shrimp for our appetizers and got right back to looking at the menus for our entrees. The triple dipper came out first and it was delicious. The chips were hot and fresh. The guacamole was perfectly made and the queso had a unique, but very good flavor to it. The salsa looked rather intimidating, but it wasn’t even remotely spicy. It also had a great flavor to it. The bacon wrapped jalapenos and shrimp came out shortly after. It came with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce, although it wasn’t too spicy at all. The shrimp were incredible by themselves, but even better dipped in the sauce. In between eating both appetizers, we ordered our entrees. I decided on the 14oz ribeye and I chose mashed potatoes and gravy and mac & cheese as my 2 sides. I also ordered 3lbs of crawfish. My wife wanted some fried fish, so she ordered the kids fish with coleslaw (she can’t eat too much). One of my twins ordered the chicken fried steak with mac & cheese and corn on the cob and the other twin ordered their signature burger and fries. I’ll start with the steak. The compound butter on top added such a nice flavor, although the steak itself was already nicely seasoned. It was a perfect medium rare, so I was happy . The mashed potatoes and gravy were good, but the mac & cheese was really good. Even the roll was delicious. It was slightly crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. The crawfish was the next thing I tried. They had an amazing flavor to them, but they were definitely a bit more on the spicy side. I still ate quite a few, but my tongue was burning afterwards. It was worth it. I then went down the list of trying everyone’s food. There’s a reason why it’s called the “cover the plate chicken fried steak” on the menu. It was absolutely massive. Typically with quantity, you sacrifice quality. That wasn’t the case. The batter was nice and crunchy, but not too much and the steak itself was very tender. I then took a bite of my son’s burger and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Even their fries were excellent. I tried a bite of my wife’s fish and thought it was also good. It was a bit on the thinner side, but still very good. I didn’t try the coleslaw, because it’s coleslaw lol. We ended up ordering their 3 main desserts. Tres leches, homemade peach cobbler, and the chocolate lava cake. All 3 were excellent, especially the tres leches. I can honestly see why this place was incredibly packed. They had stuff for everyone inside, including multiple pool tables, an arcade, 2 different covered playgrounds, a nice sized stage for karaoke, a huge bar area, and enough seating for hundreds of people (not even exaggerating). After an amazing dinner, we made our way across the street to our cabin. It was located right on the water. The inside was nice and cozy. They seem to be fairly new because everything looked very up to date. My kids really liked the spiral staircase leading up to their loft lol. There were TV’s everywhere and they all had satellite cable, as well as Roku for all your streaming needs. The most important thing was the beds actually being comfortable and the gorgeous view over looking the water. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend making the 30 minute or less drive from Tyler and experiencing some amazing food, a nice little getaway in one of their cabins, or even both!!!

Super cool atmosphere. The food was great. I got crawfish, shrimp and the Gator bites. Everything was really good. The Gator bites are huge too! It's definitely a must try, very good place. It's actually a really large place too with so much seating. They also have a pretty large bar area.
