Two stars because the service was nice. Came in today and ordered calamari, 2 cluster snow crab 1/2 lb shrimp and 1lb crawfish garlic butter flavor mild. Straight from the sea. Not in a good way. Seasoning was like water butter w no flavor, not even a little salty or garlicky, snow crab was fine without flavor but the shrimp and crawfish were inedible. Really disappointed in the "flavor". Waitress comped the crawfish and shrimp but the total was still $60 for calamari and snow crab. Disappointed is an understatement. Won't be coming back as this is the 2nd bad experience at this location. Gave a second chance and completely regret it. read more

Went to abbys yesterday evening, the shrimp is good but now it's night time and me (I'm pregnant) and my boyfriend are puking our guts out, our stomachs started hurting a few hours after eating the shrimp and now we can't hold any food/water down without throwing up.... I just thought it was my pregnancy but I haven't gotten nauseous once and my boyfriend shouldn't feel the same way as well. After spending so much money there you don't expect to get food poisoning from this place.. We will not be going back. read more

Loved the shrimp and drink cocktails. The customer service is excellent. My son has a shellfish allergy and they customized a grilled chicken with broccoli just for him. I was very grateful for that Diana was our server and she provided the awesome service and accommodations. She's super sweet too. read more

Love this place. Like... it's the kind of spot where you'll be like "take my money and give me all the delicious seafood!" The service is always just amazing. The quantities are spectacular and they broke out the crawfish before anyone else this year. They expanded their place and I'm happy they made it through the last couple of years... we love this business and they have consistently earned our loyalty. All I would say is, find that next level of spice for the crawfish. It is Texas ya know! read more

Been here a couple of times now. Visited tonight and received the best service from multiple people. Food is always delicious, service is extra friendly, and it's just a really nice place to go out to eat. We've had the Combo Packets, fried baskets, calamari, shrimp cocktail, and beignets and all were really tasty. The fried catfish has some kind of seasoning on it that adds a little something extra. They just expanded the size of this location and they now have more bar space, tables, and tv's. We have enjoyed going here and will continue to do so! read more

Don't go. Incredibly bad smell and even worse food. Waitress didn't know the MP prices, said she was the only one who spoke English. Even sent back my tea or whatever it was. Should be closed down. read more

So... what's the deal with this place? You can't order online. It always says "online order not available" We tried calling to place an order and every time it rings we would get a voice mail saying that they are busy with another customer so they hang up, we waited and called back and couldn't get a hold of anyone. Pretty disappointing. read more

I love the Cedar Park location. Very friendly staff and amazing crawfish. One of my favor's places, for sure. read more

I'm gonna be real. I don't write reviews. This place is the only food I had all day, I was on my lunch break and I decided to try something new. Two hours after eating a shrimp poboy and boudin balls I started feeling really nauseous. For twelve hours and I'm not exaggerating I was in the bathroom puking my soul up. Not even able to drink water. Now I don't know about you, but puking like that for that long changes you. Obviously it was food poisoning. I'm sorry to have to be real but the last two days hovering over porcelain have made me a non Abby believer. Save your soul and please beware. read more

Great seafood boil and friendly staff. Highly recommend. Tried steak as well and considering it's a seafood place i was pleasantly surprised it was good as well. read more

First off the food was HORRIBLE!! I put the crab in my mouth and literally spit it out disgusting the best part of the boil was the potatoes even then not that good and for how expensive it was I should've been eating like a queen. The service was also not very good the server took our order and literally didn't come back to the table after. read more

Hidden in a strip mall, this place is a real seafood gem! Amazing fresh oysters, terrific crab boils, and expert fry techniques. Spice levels are serious business. The last time we had extreme spice at this level was in Sri Lanka! Highly recommended, we will be back! read more

1) Cajun seasoning tastes like marinara... No really, it has tomatoes and oregano as the most forward flavors. 2) Our waitress was noticeably drunk and was visibly taking drinks from the bar, the hostess provided better table service than the drunk waitress. 3) The drunk waitress was not forthcoming about the market price of certain meats (mostly crab) when we inquired and only stated that they varied. I understand varying market prices for seafood but I don't understand why we wouldn't be allowed to have those prices prior to ordering (my assumption is that it had more to do with the obviously intoxicated state of our waitress than company policy, but still a pain point nonetheless). read more

Found this on Yelp and it's near a Walmart and wanted to go check it out for Crawfish and crab! It was so good I brought my husband back to the fried shrimp!I ordered the 2 pounds of Crawfish with potatoes and corn and sausage and garlic butter and medium heat! You can choose your flavor and spice level! It comes in a boil bag and the crawfish are large! They also have a full bar and you can order a hurricane if you want and any other drink! We also ordered crab cake appetizers which were good! With Remoulade sauce! It was so good! The shrimp comes with Cajun fries and hush puppies.The crawfish were perfect! They were so good! I will definitely be back! There is also plenty of parking and benches if you want to eat outside! Go check out Abbys order some crawfish and get a cold beer! read more

Tasty crawfish! Nice flavor and well seasoned. Wish it had more juicy! Extra big crawfish as well!

I ordered the crab poboy. Having grown up on the MS. coast I probably have unrealistic expectations but this was a terrible poboy with the only redeeming quality being the bread. The crab patties were over-breaded, overcooked, and had little crab flavor. The lettuce was completely wilted. Avoid this menu item! read more

Sad to write this review. My experience there underlines my theory (As a former restaurant owner / operator) That a place won't run itself. We arrived today, Sunday at 4:pm. We were greeted and seated promptly in the dining room. At that time, there were only a few diners there so, what happened to us is really inexcusable. We were approached promptly by a server who took our drink orders. The drinks came quickly and we gave our orders. I ordered a cup of gumbo and an oyster basket that came with fried oysters and (My choice) hush puppies. My wife ordered a salad with fried chicken. The salad came out pretty quickly . The salad was just okay , it came with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes , boiled egg quarters and bacon. The bacon was diced but not at all crispy or flavorful. The chicken was a big portion and was good. My oyster basket was AWOL. we saw people who came in after us who received their orders of fried items. I finally waved to a server to find out where my food was. She said that she would tell our server. Our server came out with my order and said 'We were wondering whose order that was". I asked for some tarter sauce (They had brought ranch dressing). While she was getting the sauce, I bit into a hush puppie and an oyster, both weren't even warm. By that time, my wife was well into her salad. Our server offered to have another basket prepared but by that tie, I had no confidence in what I would receive. Here are the obvious problems : No presence of management and a staff not working as a team. We also saw two attempts to deliver food to the wrong tables. If the operators see this, you need to do better. Clearly , some people like this place including my daughter's family but our visit was a disaster. read more

Fabulous seafood. I wanted to make sure we tasted multiple different menu items so we ordered: shrimp po boy, shrimp cocktail, shrimp basket (ok so we kinda overdid it on the shrimp ), catfish basket, jambalaya, and grilled catfish. Added in hush puppies, steamed veggies, and dirty rice as sides to the baskets. Also got a pound of mild sausage with garlic butter seasoning. Can I just tell you we were about to POP even after just TASTING everything???? My favorite was the fried catfish and shrimp. The crispy outside was to DIE FOR. We definitely will be back! I'm just trying to figure out win so I don't go there several days in a row. read more

Food was super! Everything we had crawfish, shrimp basket was absolutely fresh and delicious! Great place in Cedar Park and hope they don't change any recipes! read more

BOMB food! I loved this place! Great gumbo, seafood, drinks and service. I will definitely be back again and again. I went yesterday and I want to go back again today because it was so good. I ordered the shrimp basket, shrimp Poboy, 2 cups of gumbo, a watermelon margarita, and a coke. It was ALL delicious! I highly recommend eating here if you are ever in the Kyle area and need a place to eat. read more

This is the best crawfish I've ever had in Austin!! I got the captain combo (two pounds of crawfish with sausage, potato, corn, and a boiled egg) with the mix of seasonings and extra spicy. I've been to Sawyer, Kasian Boil, Crawfish Shack, CR Surf n Turf and Deckhand's, and I think THIS is the best crawfish in the Austin area. The crawfish was decent sized with a few bigger ones, and it was cooked so you can actually get juice when you suck the heads and the meat just slides out when you peel the crawfish. Like anyone that knows how to eat crawfish, I made sure to eat the ones buried at the bottom of the boil to get lots of juice when I suck the heads, and my finger were burning because the boil was still hot, even though I got it to go and had to bring it home. The only downside is I felt like the potatoes were undercooked or didn't soak enough in the boil because they were still kind of hard in the middle and didn't get much of the flavor. But the sausage had a lot of flavor. My boyfriend got the gumbo and he said it wasn't the best gumbo he's ever had but it's pretty good. read more

WOW! They're going to need a bigger space. Came here tonight for dinner and I am absolutely blown away. It's hard to pick a spot to start because there's nothing wrong with this place, at all. We were immediately greeted by a variety of friendly, and mask wearing, staff members and seated wherever we liked. Their sweet tea doesn't have any dirty aftertaste like some restaurants do. It is SO good! But not too sweet. Admittedly we ordered a lot of food. The egg rolls were very cabbage forward, still delicious and tiny but they had a bunch already cut in half (yay for faster cooling, because they were super hot and FRESH!) I got the Snow crab boil combo w/10 shrimp, got the "bottom of the sea" seasoning with mild heat and OMG YALL! I was in Heaven!!! They offer butter to go with it. It came with 2 potatoes, 1 corn on the cob and 1 boiled egg. They bring a bucket for scraps. The catfish was good too, but I have tried Cherry Creek Catfish (RIP) so it's not like that but still flakey and tasted good. The crawfish were HUGE! After everything and being taken care of VERY WELL by our sweet waitress, she offered beignets! They were yummy too, especially with alllll of the powdered sugar and chocolate syrup. Mm. I can't wait to come back! This place is definitely worth the visit. read more

We happened across this cute little place on our way back from the lake. It was a pleasant surprise. We wanted everything on the menu but had to save some things for another visit. Gumbo- very good Boudin balls- very good Shrimp poboy- very good Cajun fries- good Blackened shrimp skewers- good Dirty rice- good (very different in flavor than we've had before) The only thing missing are crab cakes. We enjoyed it and will be back! read more

This is our new go to place since Louisiana Crab Shack closed down. The seafood boil is very saucy and they put plenty of Garlic in the spice mix. We love the bottom of the barrel seasoning with the spiciest level. The only thing that sucks is that sometimes they give us not a lot of Cajun fries when we order them ): read more

The boils just aren't very good. One piece of corn and two potatoes in a $30 boil. Boils needed more seasoning. Hush puppies were tiny tiny.

The Cajun crawfish boil is great! We bought crawfish by the lbs and snow crab by the cluster. The crawfish doesn't come with corn, sausage or potatoes so if you like the extra fixings then I'd recommend getting the combo plate. The hush puppies are BOMB! It's a sweet corn meal base that perfectly compliments the spicy Cajun flavor. Great place! read more

It was pretty good but pretty pricey. Disappointed in Boudin balls, they were bland and really heavy. Everything else was good though. read more

BEWARE on pricing.... this place is HIGH dollar! Shame on me for not asking the price of the Lans Boil. We have had similar other places and highest has been $50 or so.... $99.99 here!! Not worth this price at all! The crawfish were good but again... over priced. And $24.99 for a dozen oysters. With tip our bill for 3 of us was well over $200. And they added $$ to the bill for not paying cash also. So many other choices for WAY less money! read more

If you are looking for the next "best place" to eat, you have found it! Amazing food and great service! Comparable prices for most "boil" places. The "under the sea" spicing is a must have. We will be back! read more

Is beyond great food. Service is wonderful. Ambiance is fit for the food. We have going to crab shack for years and have been bringing our out of town family! read more

Came here for lunch, looks like a new updated menu. Separate lunch menu with all choices $10.50. Awesome lunch menu selection. Our party of 3 came in around 3 PM, place was empty so we got Awesome service but we've never not had great service here. We got the po'boy, the lunch boil with garlic butter & the catfish. All entrées were good portion size, food was yummy as usual. Always a good choice for lunch out, thanks Abby's Crab Shack! read more

Service is always great. Beer, pho, and crawfish all at the same place. How do you top that? Portion sizes are a bit too reasonably small for Texas but times are tight and I don't hold it against them. read more

The BEST grilled shrimp and this chick that works here makes the tastiest Ocean Water drink. read more

The worst cajun/seafood place ive been to in austin. It looks awful, smells awful, food tastes either bland or weirdly sweet. Never coming here again. read more

The people were very friendly and nice, however extremely overpriced for the mediocre amount of food given. Spent $55 alone on one plate of food and was still hungry afterwards. Quality was good but the price was ridiculous for what you actually received. read more

The boudan balls were good. I had a boil with crawfish, potatoes, sausage, corn and it was good. The gumbo was really good. My wife got the shrimp basket and she said it was very good also. I would recommend this place. read more

Amazing food service and people.... IM ALWAYS DOWN FOR SOME ABBYS. The second mate is what I recommend

This place hands down has the best crawfish in the area. They always come out hot, the crawfish are great size, and the flavor is delicious. Get the Bottom of the Ocean flavor! (Not on the menu). Our waitress was so kind and helpful. The inside of the restaurant is cute and fitting for enjoying seafood and a drink! Highly recommend. read more

Was pretty good, my wife really liked it. We order the second mate combo and added a lbs of crawfish with the bottom on the ocean seasoning. My son got the kids shrimp basket with fries. We'll definitely be back to try other food options. read more
