MudBugs - A Cajun Joint

"Highly recommend this place. The crab cake appetizer special was amazing. The crab stuffed shrimp dinner was delicious. Hubby loved the gumbo. And OMG the key lime pie was authenticity tangy. Our server was knowledgeable and kind. Beautifully and uniquely decorated."

"We were very pleasantly surprised by Mudbugs! We are east coast seafood people originally so we typically steer away from seafood in Texas but overall really enjoyed many seafood components at Mudbugs! The drinks were phenomenal, priced relatively high but worth it. Their wine list is amazing and they have half price bottles Thursday, which we’d absolutely consider coming back. We started with the Brussels and the calamari. I’d recommend both but especially the Brussels! Sweet, savory, different textures -so awesome! The calamari was very fresh, not chewy and large pieces! They were fried to perfection. The gumbo was easily the strongest food item we had! Unbelievably flavorful, full of meats and seafood and a great kick of spicy! I really enjoyed the side caeser, you can definitely tell they make the dressing in house. I had the taterfish for dinner. It was very good though the red fish was a bit fishy so if you’re not into that, I wouldn’t order it with red fish. The fish does change regularly. The shrimp and grits had good flavor but the grits were down to a very thick soup consistency, which my partner didn’t care for. He is not a grit expert though so he finished the plate! We closed with the key lime pie and bread pudding. The key lime was good, the bread pudding was better. So much flavor, a wonderful caramel sauce, great vanilla ice cream- my only qualm with the bread pudding was that it isn’t warm. It is very thick, double layer of what felt like soft brick style bread pudding and I think some heat on the BP would have been PERFECT. Overall, recommend MudBugs and would absolutely be back. Our server was fantastic also!"

"Beautiful restaurant. Great service. Food was delicious. We had the shrimp and grits and the daily dozen special- both great. Calamari was not great. Wish we had tried the Brussels sprouts appetizer instead."

"If you are looking for a excellent dining experience, Mud bugs delivers. The food is divine, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The calamari melted in my mouth. The best I have ever had hands down. The shrimp delight was a three in one. Bacon, shrimp and crab. My mouth didn’t know what to do with itself. My favorite was the shrimp and grits. Grilled shrimp surrounding Gouda grits. Yum! And that surrounded by the most delightful moat of cheese sauce loaded with spinach, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes and grilled onions. Absolutely divine!!! It was a dining experience, not a meal. If you enjoy trying flavors and textures, please stop by Mud bugs in Buda and let your tastebuds sing."
