Floyd’s Meat & Seafood

Rude and Very Unprofessional. Fri April 29^th I baught 2 bags of crawfish from Lisa. After getting them home one of them didnt look to lively. I have two kiddy pools that I got from walmart. (You know the little blue plastic ones) that I use. One to pour the crawfish into so that we can kull out the dead ones and the other to purge them in right before they go in the pot. I got the bag that didnt look to lively and poured them into the plastic pool. Hardly any of them were moving. After kulling out all of the dead ones we had only a few hand fulls of live ones. So I called Floyds to let them know. I told them that i had poured them in a kiddy pool and almost the whole bag was dead. They told me that I shouldnt have put them in water. I told them that i didnt say that there was water in the pool I just put them in there to kull the dead ones. I use a plastic pool so that the live ones cant crawl off. Then they said give them a while that they just need to wake up. I told them that this wasnt my first time to do this and I know a dead crawfish from a live one. They told me to go ahead and open the other bag and that they would call me back in a few minutes. I open and poured them into the other pool (with no water in it) that bag fine, bugs were crawling everywhere. Lisa at floyds called me back and asked what the problem was and I told here that we had a dead bag of crawfish. Then she told me that she wanted me to go ahead and cook them and I told her that I wasnt going to cook dead crawfish. She said that I would need to bring them back today but she wanted me to cook them before I brought them back and again I told her I wasnt going to cook dead crawfish. I didnt like the thought that had to break up the party and drive all the way back to NLR but I could understand that they need to see the dead crawfish. She told me that she would give me a in store credit for the amount of crawfish that were dead and I thought that was fare enough. While I was cooking the rest of the stuff my daughter drove the dead crawfish back to Floyds. When she got back she told me that the lady at Floys was really rude and asked her why I didnt cook them like she told me to. My daughter told her that he isnt going to cook dead crawfish. The rest of the day went well, we barely had enough crawfish to get by. After 4 days went by around noon on Wednesday May 4^th I checked my phone recorder it was Lisa at Floyds meat maket leaving a very rude message with a very hateful sound in her voice. She said that I did put the crawfish in water, that I did killed the crawfish and that she was not going to be giving me that in store credit, that I can take the piece of paper that it is on and tear it up. Agian this was 4 days later !! Now I really didnt care about the in store credit part but when someone calls me a liar it pisses me off. I am not a rocket scientist nor am I a crawfishologist but I am smart enough to know a dead crawfish from a live one. why would she want me to cook all the dead ones before I brought them back? One could think that maybe that she is selling them for the pre cooked crawfish in the store. I did read another bad review on here about how bad her pre cooked crafish were. Humm ! Kinda makes you think doesnt it. If there is a star on my review it is because I had to put somthing there for this to publish. Me, my family and friends will never purchase anything from Floyds meat and Seafood.

Well I have mixed feelings on my experience, as far as having all you need to have a great crawfish boil, I think this is a perfect place! My issue came when I got ready to pay for a $ 700.00 order! They made me pay 3 percent extra because I used a credit card! I didn’t care for that but I could live with it! I had $ 475.00 cash that I wanted to pay for some of my items to save the 3 percent! I don’t think that’s too much to ask for, but the lady treated me like I was being unreasonable! Because it was busy in the store! REALLY! What I would have done if I were her is taken $ 15.00 off the order and moved on, if I was too busy to split the order! They made me feel like they are the only game in town and they are entitled! Nice people, but very selfish in my opinion! That’s my experience! VERY LAST TRIP FOR ME! By the way I’ve been doing business with since the old location in Jacksonville!!!

Best place for crawfish in central arkansas. Always met with a smile and treated like family!

Oh, I DO LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
If you want anything Cajun — go here. Their motto is «Homesick Cajun headquarters» and it is TRUE!
I’ve longed for chicory coffee, Slap Ya Momma, and other Gulf Coast favorites since we retired from the US Navy and moved here.
So I was ecstatic to find Floyd’s!!!
Little did I know when I first went in that I would find a master butcher and the best cuts of meat I’ve had outside the beef we raised when I was a kid! I mean, I got TWO INCH THICK rib eyes! That’s crazy wonderful!
Lisa makes these jambalaya-​stuffed pork chops that are to die for! «Oink» mignons, hand-​trimmed fillets, TurDucHens, and…
LIVE CRAWFISH (in season), as well as party packs (the corn, ‘taters, garlic, onions, lemons and mushrooms), spices, boil, Everything you need for a good olé crawfish boil — except the beer. And there is a liquor store literally one door away, so you’re covered on that, too! Location, location, location!!!
Lisa is VERY knowledgeable, and has always been willing to answer questions (even my dumb ones!), and offer advice on everything from cooking to menu suggestions. She will cut you anything you want from pork chops to rib roast. Yes, you might have to wait a few minutes, and you might have to make a special order for some cuts, but really, is it that too much to ask when you want something unique? I don’t think it is!
Larry is just wonderful — I never fail to smile when I see him — he’s the only person aside from my husband and myself who I’ll let process my deer!
To the reviewer who says she got dead crawfish… Well, you DO have to take care of them properly, or they WILL die. I’ve never had anything less than an acceptable percentage of dead-​loss, which you have to expect with a live product like crawfish. Really, I had about as much dead-​loss per bag when we lived on the Gulf coast, and FAR less dead than other Arkansas places I got crawfish before I found Floyd’s.

Horrible Management. Half of our crawfish were dead for our family function. Drive back to show her she was very disrespectful and instead of taking ownership and making things right she instead blamed us for the dead crawfish which was bogus. My family has been cooking crawfish for years (so yes we know what we are doing, we didn’t kill them, they were dead in the bag when she gave them to us). Have Never had this problem anywhere else. I will never do business here again and I’ve let people around me know to go elsewhere and I will continue to. Horrible experience overall, unfortunately.

Amazing selection, amazingly friendly staff, and very military friendly!!! I am very glad to say that the owner is «devil dog» friendly!!! I can’t wait to go bankrupt here!!!

Love these folks. They are always so helpful, down to earth. Like previous poster noted… they are not there to coddle anyone that may lack respect. However, if you treat them properly they bend over backwards to help you. Great meat in general plus the BEST place for live crawfish and all the fixins! Larry is awesome and so is Lisa.

I felt very compelled to write a review for Floyd’s especially after seeing some of the negative crap being spewed. It seems that this generation needs to be «coddled» or people just smile and be fake to them no matter how the customer treats the employee. I remember when you went to the butcher and he wasn’t particularly nice, he didn’t stroke your ego or give you a neck massage. He was often gruff or blunt but you got a nice, quality piece of meat every time you went there. People don’t get into the butcher business to be a counselor or to coddle your pampered little egos. I’d much prefer have a quality piece of meat than to go to Wal-​Mart and have them give their fake little smile while at the same time running mom’s and pop’s out of business.
Do you want the freshest crawfish in Arkansas? Go to Floyd’s. Do you want the biggest, best tasting oysters in Arkansas? Go to Floyds. (I’m talking about AMAZING oysters). Sure you might be able to find some somewhere else, but they probably bought them from Floyd’s too. If you want your butt wiped or someone to tell you how special you are, Floyd’s probably isn’t your place. But if you want a premium, quality, product, then go there, wait in line, pay your money, and go home and eat the best seafood you can get.
The owner is a feisty little red-​head who I have a feeling has been in the butchering business since she was a kid. Is she blunt and to the point? Yes. During the season the lines are out the door and she’s been doing it for at least 30 years. You wouldn’t stay in business if you didn’t have an excellent product. If you REALLY need to talk, her husband will talk your ear off. ;)

Saw a lot of reviews on here about how rude the lady was so I was hesitant to use them. I called and had a couple of questions and the lady was incredibly helpful and nice. She went out of her way to explain some good info I needed for my crawfish boil. When we went to pick up the items the next week it was fast & easy. Again, the lady was really nice and helpful. I don’t know if it’s somebody different than other reviewers have talked about or what, but she was very nice and could not have been more helpful. Just got my potatoes, shrimp & corn from Floyd’s. Gave a discount for cash. Got crawfish from eatmycatfish in Benton because it was closer to boil site.
