St. Joe has yet another reason to visit, and a tasty one at that! Craw Billy’s Seafood Boil is a delectable dinner destination near the Buffalo National River. Whether you’re preparing for a float, hungry from a swim, or just driving through, this local eatery will be a family favorite.

Hard to miss and impossible to forget, Craw Billy’s has already made a statement in Arkansas.

TripAdvisor/Carol C The seafood boil eatery has only been opened a few months but is already a favorite for locals and travelers. It adds some Cajun spice to the variety of restaurants in the tiny town of St. Joe.

Diners can order their food to-go or stay and eat outside.

The numerous spots for outdoor seating make for a relaxing atmosphere but you can tell there’s more to come.

TripAdvisor/Carol C Craw Billy’s is already operating at full speed but there’s even more to come! Upstairs seating above the restaurant and a remodeled cabin-turned-venue are already in the construction phase. We’re excited to return as Craw Billy’s continues to grow!

The aroma of spices and frying fish will bombard you as soon as you pull up to the parking lot.

TripAdvisor/Carol C You may notice a furry feline nearby, too. You can tip this purring parking lot attendant with pets or shrimp.

Supper will leave you ridiculously full but don’t forget the pie!

TripAdvisor/Carol C You may need to wait a while before indulging on this sweet treat but a Craw Billy meal wouldn’t be complete without a slice! The pies are all freshly homemade and feature Arkansas classics like Possum Pie and Coon Pie.

No critters were harmed in these desserts! Possum pie is chocolate, pecans, and whipped cream (with the chocolate “playing possum” by hiding in the middle). Coon pie is a deliciously whipped peanut butter topped with toasted coconut. Both are sweet Arkansas traditions!

Craw Billy’s seafood fare is served in generous helpings and mouthwatering sides.

Google/Katy Battiest In addition to the typical (yet delicious) catfish and shrimp, this seafood joint also features oysters, crawfish, and even gator! Pair your catch with fried green tomatoes, Cajun mushrooms, sweet coleslaw, or red beans and rice. They also have sandwiches and ribs for anyone craving more “turf” than “surf.”

St. Joe may be one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it towns but Craw Billy’s is hard to miss.

TripAdvisor/Carol C The flashing lights, canoe sign, and front yard tubs make this place easy to spot. Once you’ve had a bite of their seafood cuisine you’ll be hooked!
