When it opened in the late 1990s, Crawdaddy's, 6414 W. Greenfield Ave., almost seemed a bit too "nice" for its neighborhood.

In the last several years, redevelopment has added a number of condos and shops and Crawdaddy's remains a popular stop in the area. It's so popular, in fact, that OnMilwaukee.com readers consider it their favorite place to get seafood.

The dining room at Crawdaddy's is large, bright and noisy enough to bring large dining parties and create the kind of rollicking atmosphere befitting a Cajun-influenced establishment.

Entrees include dishes like seafood etouffee, blackened salmon, skatewing and scallops, frog legs provencale and crispy catfish panee.

Spicy food, cold drinks and excellent service make this a West Allis establishment a fun place to visit. One in five OnMilwaukee.com readers selected Crawdaddy's as Milwaukee's best seafood.
