Crawfish Shack

So, I was staying in a small town outside of houston for work, and it was crawfish season.  But, sadly, there were no restaurants serving crawfish in the town I was staying.  So what did I do?  I drove. Forty-five minutes to be precise.  And boy was it worth it.  This place is kind of amazing.  You can order crawfish by the pound, and even pick how many pieces of potato and corn you want. They also had crabs and, if my memory serves me correctly, shrimp.  You can even customize the spice levels of your orders.  

It is BYOB-- but, it looked like they had coolers for people to put their beer in, so that kind of makes it even better.  My only regret was that because I was in Texas alone on business, I was not with a group.  This would be the perfect place for a big group of friends to go and share some beer, crabs, and crawfish.  I only hope that one day I have the opportunity to do just that.

Great atmosphere and great food. The owners are great and their staff are very friendly.The Shrimp and Crab are very good!

Crawfish come a runnin to this spot.

Went on a Friday evening with a friend. It was kinda late so it wasn't too packed.
It's really open so if you go on a cool night, bring a jacket.

You seat yourself and the menu is on the napkin dispenser.

Our waiter came over and gave us the specials. It sounded good - 2 lbs of crawfish, 1 lb of shrimp and corn and potatoes. For 2.50 more we also got a sausage link. Its' BYOB so my friend made a quick run to the store and got us a 6 pack of Dos Equis. They do provide an ice chest with ice if needed. I think they have water, sodas,etc for purchase.

The food came out and it was delish. We ordered spicy and they were perfect. As it was getting close to quitting time, my friend still wanted more and ordered 2 lbs of crawfish to go.

Environment - they have TVs so we were able to catch the Rocket's game and there is a play area for kids - pretty cool.

My only realy issue is the restroom situation. It's literally smack dab in the middle of the restaurant and it's a single - one side for men and one for women. And it opens up to the eating area.

Let me say again, the crawfish was delish and our bill was under $40. The cost per lb is $4.95 which is reasonable esp since the crawfish were a fairly good size.

Two thumbs up. Will definitely hit this spot up again.
