Crawfish was spicy and flavorful. No complaints from the food POV The establishment was a little rough and arguably dirty. They had frozen drinks but no beer, you can BYOB. It's is counter service/self serve. read more

LA Crawfish Shack - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm not sure why it's taken so long for Me to write this review but I absolutely love it here! I usually order to go and quite often but I have dined in several times over the years as well. I've ordered via DoorDash and directly on Their website. I do suggest ordering delivery on the website as the prices are the same as restaurant and They rotate deals depending on the season too. My family have out go to favorites but everything I've tried here has been satisfying. One of Our favorites has by far been the seafood gumbo. I've ordered chicken and sausage for guest too. My youngest cub loves the gumbo . If He could eat it daily He would. Perfect amount of spice is the medium but You can get mild or add extra spice. The seafood gumbo has shrimp, real crab meat, and fish. I love that They put okra bc as a Louisiana native it's a must. The shrimp are large and the roux is chefs kiss! My oldest cub loves the fried fish and hush puppies. Fried to perfection and just the right amount of seasoning You can't go wrong with the catfish. It's not the fishy gulf catfish fyi! The fried shrimp are also delicious. They're large and cooked to perfection. Their boiled seafood is a must. Love the sides. We all enjoy the crawfish, boiled shrimp, and crab. The eggs and potatoes are never enough. Our greediness not the restaurant LoL! We've eaten outside of crawfish season but being from La I know the best time is in the spring! They offer these lightly fried shrimp rolls and OMG they're one of the best I've ever had. An order includes 5 rolls but I could eat a dozen by Myself. The desserts are definitely worth mentioning. We love the beignets so much. An order includes three but it's worth noting to get at least two orders if You love Them as much as We do. Powder sugar is loaded on top and honey is available upon request! Get the honey thank Me later. It's not cafe du monde but believe it or not I'd pick these over the NOLA classic. They offer alcoholic beverages including flavorful slushies and a cooler with non alcoholic options like Gatorade, Coke, water, and sweet tea. The slushies aren't premade with liquor meaning You can adjust the level of alcohol in Your drink and add as many shots You'd like. Let's talk about the sauce! Make sure You get the roumalade so You're not fighting over it as We do bc You can literally dip everything in it! Their baskets include 3 sides! Definitely try the fried broccoli. Crawfish rice is a classic worth trying! Prices are very reasonable! It's a very chill vibe in the restaurant with a great selection of music always playing. My girl Sara keeps the place decorated especially for the holidays. The owners are very welcoming and make sure You're accommodated giving back home Louisiana vibes. It's always clean. There's screens on the wall playing usually sports. They offer a drive thru for pick up orders or ample parking if You choose to go in. It's located on Hwy 6 between Briar Forest and westheimer in the parking lot where Chilis use to be. If You call in for delivery an order usually takes about 15-20 minutes but expect longer times during crawfish season bc it's that good! read more

I went to get the Seafood Gumbo-medium spicy and a Turkey Neck, and let me just say that the gumbo is always hitting. I ordered the traditional medium spice for the Turkey Neck, but next time I'm definitely getting MILD. The seasoning was too heavy, which made it salty, and the spice level was too hot. I actually had to take the turkey neck out of the seasoning juice and wipe it off just to tone it down. It was still very spicy, but I was able to push through it. This is a note for me when I do go back. Lol! read more

I called in an order for my niece since this is her favorite spot for seafood boils. I'd never been here before and hadn't even looked at the menu. While placing the order, I didn't catch the young lady's name, but she was sooo helpful. I ordered exactly what my niece likes, and when she told me the total, it was surprisingly inexpensive--so of course I grabbed a boil for myself too. We both got the mild Cajun shrimp seafood boil, and honestly, it was super good. From the phone call to the drive-thru, the customer service was on point. The process was quick, no long lines or waiting around, and I really loved that. Definitely a good first experience! read more

The inside of this place is actually a lot cuter than I thought it would be (my bad for judging y'all's exterior). I am going to start out with the only two negatives I have. The inside and outside of the restaurant (and shopping area) smelled of sewage. I don't think it is their fault at all as the whole shopping center smelled of it, but it was bad. The second are those terrible stuffed crabs . Never again will I let them fool me with those. I love imitation crab, but this tasted like plastic. They also used margarine which also added to the plastic taste. It was gross and we tossed those (I feel cheated, but it's okay ). The shrimp poboy was delicious. It was loaded and the bread was fluffy. It was super good and we'd come back for more. The shrimp basket was also a win. I got the 6 piece, but they were big shrimp and they were generous with serving it with 3 sides! The portions were huuuuuuge here. The prices were suspiciously cheap. The food was great. The service was great. The smell was not bueno. When we're inside we saw they had a functioning drive thru, so I recommend trying that out. We will be back! read more

My coworker brought me here and ever since I've been back 2 other times. I loveeee seafood boils! If you're a boil seafood lover like myself give this spot a try. I always get the bucket of snow crab, shrimp, mushrooms, sausages, and corn. I'm very particular on where I eat boil seafood. The flavor did not disappoint. Side note: if anyone have boil seafood recommendations shoot me a message. Place was clean and you get the plastic bib to go around your neck and the tool to crack your crab (can't think of the name of it at the moment). Only thing that took me was having to pay for a pair of gloves but it is 25 cents. read more

Found this place on my way in to Sugarland from Abilene. I'm so glad I stopped by, the food was delicious and seasoned great. I took my food to go but if I had the time I would have eaten there since the restaurant was visually appealing. The staff were kind and when asked provided recommendations. I would have given 5 stars if my to go order would have been packed with complimentary silverware and gloves. read more

I love the crawfish rice with shrimp spring rolls and whatever dipping sauce they have is to die for. The service was fast and good and it was clean inside. I usually order thru GrubHub but I chose pick up this time and they even have a drive thru. read more

First time trying this place and I'm impressed. They have their menu on tv screens or the one-sheet, two-sided kind. They're prices are comparable to most seafood places and the quality is spot on. I had the 12 piece shrimp and 4 fish basket. The great thing about the basket meals are, you get 3 sides. Yes, I said three sides! I got the coleslaw, onion rings and two red potatoes. Usually, when you cook shrimp, it shrinks a little. I had large shrimp, which must have been extra large to start. They were cooked perfectly. When you bite down on the shrimp and the tail pops off without leaving a bit of shrimp in the shell, you know their cooked right. The cocktail sauce is good but the tartar sauce is too runny(watery). The sauces come in those small clear plastic cops with a lid. There is a thicker tartar sauce with a sweet relish which I liked better than the other tartar sauce. I couldn't resist getting the one pound bag of mussels. Which was $9.99. I got the garlic butter medium spice which was perfect. When you go to the counter to order, you get one of those light up buzzers to let you know your order is ready. It's definitely roomy with plenty of tables with the plastic table cloths. I would definitely like to try the oysters next time. Oh, and the sweet potato fries. The dessert next time will be the beignets. You only get three but with all the other food, they should be enough. Enjoy. read more

My girl and I stopped in for some crawfish. We ordered 5 pounds, and they were running a special if you buy 5 you get one free so that was a nice deal. There were a couple options for seasoning so we chose garlic butter and Cajun; for spice level we chose spicy. It's counter service and the staff hands you a pager to notify you when your order is ready. The service was not bad, but didn't feel as though they were helpful in deciding how to order or the difference in flavors. Room for improvement there. The atmosphere was very rustic and shanty. Cleanliness was not a priority as stacks of empty dishes were left and the restrooms were not very sanitary. There was an odor which was masked by the multiple air fresheners placed in the corners on the floor. As far as the crawfish themselves, the peeling was perfect and the crawfish seemed fresh despite how late in the season it is. However, even though we ordered "Spicy" we felt the spice overpowered any flavor there was. The garlic was undetectable, and whatever seasoning was used was coated so heavily yet didn't add any substantial flavor only spice. My personal favorite part of crawfish is sucking the heads and also dipping the corn in the juice however in this case, the juice was more oil than anything, which was very disappointing. I didn't finish my corn for this reason, and stopped sucking the heads halfway through because, as stated, they were oily not juicy. I expected more from LA Crawfish Shack as I was recommended to try there by a couple people, but I feel my money was better spent elsewhere such as The Pub over in the fountains in Stafford, TX which offers $30 5lbs Sunday and Wednesday and much better flavor and juice. Overall it was just okay. I will try them again and order differently to see if maybe we just selected the wrong seasonings for what we were expecting, but definitely not my first choice at this time when looking for crawfish in the future. read more

The best in Texas! My faves are 1. Jambalaya dirty rice 2. Boudin balls 3. Medium spice cajun flavor crawfish 4. Catfish basket read more

I usually love this place. I craved it during my pregnancy & still crave it 8 months later . the only thing that truly sucks is how often they get my order wrong. I ordered 6 corns & 6 potatoes and they gave me 6 potatoes and 2 corn. extremely disappointed. read more

So my friends and I went here on a Wednesday night and it was packed! I got 1 pound of shrimp, fried basket platter which comes with 4 catfish and like 6 shrimp and 3 sides of your choice. Honeyyyyyyy this place is bomb!

Might be number one in Houston from what I've tasted in a while. They charge for gloves But customer service is on point nice People even in the midst of a hunger crowd read more

The food is always good! Seasonings on point and very flavorful love the spicy seasoning and its actually spicy!

After completing a 21-day fast with no meat, my mom and I decided to stop by to fulfill our craving for seafood. Even though this was the last day that the city allowed for restaurants to serve guests for dine-in due to COVID-19, we thought it would be best to just order to-go. We called in an order of 3lbs of boiled crawfish ($6.99 per pound), 1 pound of snow carb and 1 pound of easy peel shrimp all with the house sauce. By the time that we arrived it was ready in about 15 minutes. They have a drive-thru window which is pretty convenient for pickup orders and minimal contact. My mom enjoyed the crab and shrimp however I thought the crawfish was just okay. I'm not sure if it was because the house sauce is combined with so many different flavors but there wasn't an actual distinctive wow factor for me. It was also a little bit greasy. At least the crawfish were a decent size. If it wasn't for that I'd probably be pretty disappointed but for the price and size it wasn't too bad. The potatoes were a bit dry. Not sure if I'll return anytime soon but if so I definitely would try just a single flavor instead of the house. read more

LA Crawfish Shack - Not the prettiest picture but they were an okay size. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this place is just like the location on Gessner. Here are the main differences: 1. Although the snow crab is big and healthy looking, you only get one cluster vs. 2 on Gessner 2. The crawfish are much smaller...like all of them. On another note, everything tastes fresh. Although the crawfish were itty bitty, you can tell the crawfish were cooked that day from the consistency of the little tails. I just wish I could've gotten some medium sized ones in the mix too. Personally, I'm not a fan of their sauce. Garlic butter is my go to everywhere, but la crawfish shack just doesn't hit my spot like other places. I asked for less butter but the butter to seasoning ratio was still extremely off. They don't use real garlic cloves either, perhaps that's why the sauce doesn't hit as hard as other places. I had to add my own lime juice to give it a little razzle dazzle. All in all, I would give this place a 8. I probably won't be back tho because there are too many 9's and 10's in Houston. read more

I love this location waaaay better than the one off of like S. Gessner. I'm very picky with my crawfish and not too much of a fan of oily/greasy crawfish either, BUT LA Crawfish Shack is top 5 of my fave crawfish places to go to. I always get live crawfish, house special, & medium cause spicy was just a lil too uncomfortably spicy for me. Not too much a fan of the frozen crawfish.. tasted kinda funny. Crabs & shrimp are also very yummy. Me & my friends haven't been to another seafood spot to get crawfish since we started coming here when they first open. Totally recommend!! read more

Very fast service and the food was really tasteful. And they have huge live crawfish forCHEAP! Not the same as the one up the street. read more

This place has the absolute best fried crawfish I've ever had! We're here from KC, visiting family, and crawfish was what I was most looking forward to on the trip. My plan was to order fried crawfish from a different place each night we were here, but...after having it here once, I've kept ordering it every single day! Their mustard remoulade is so tasty. The crawfish are so fresh and plump! I've also had the etouffee (a bit sweet imho), the mini funnel cake (yum), and the seafood gumbo, which almost rivals the fried crawfish it's so good. I will miss this place so SO much when we go home! read more

The food is really good just had to wait a bit long and wasn't the huge fan of the environment

If you wanna taste dirty small crawfish with no flavor but mud and spice to burn your taste buds off with the first bite this is your place to go. Will never come back 1st and last time here. Sorry do better. Also the place was a pigsty. Greasy floors messy tablecloths read more

They charged me $15 a pound for frozen crawfish and they told be it was live. I got 3lbs and paid almost $50 for frozen crawfish. I called them and they told me yes they was from the night before and they have to use them first. Why not tell me that and charge me for frozen. They don't want to give me my money back. Smh the said they have no manger there to help me smh the whole place is a mess read more

My favorite seafood place, the spices are so good and the prices are amazing. The crab legs are so so good.

2lbs of E'z peel shrimp 2lbs of snowcrab 6 lbs of crawfish 6corns 6 potatoes All for 89.99 They had a Family Special where they took $25 off original price. Everything was amazing. Your tastebuds can automatically feel the flavors. We got spicy, medium, and mild and not one was missing flavor. We prefer the house special which is a combination of garlic and Cajun And more. You can add your spice level to it. I was not let down. There was only one issue I had and that was the crawfish seemed to be a little gritty. Not all the crawfish but I want to state more than a couple. Shrimp was amazing! Corn and potatoes A plus! Snow crab so darn good! Crawfish..... flavor was there and they were big but crawfish needs to be a little more clean to me. read more

I can't sit here and say that they haven't made a mistake, but 9,5/10 chances they hit right on the money. If you like that "so much seasoning juice that it looks muddy" then this the place. The flavor is rich and I'm a spicy lover . Overall a cool place read more

Had a great experience here! Such a sweet, family-run business. For apps, my favorites were the Boudin Balls and Shrimp Rolls.

Ended with the Bread Pudding and it did not disappoint-so good. All in all, a really delish meal and the staff was awesome-very friendly and helpful. read more

LA Crawfish Shack - Fried broccoli - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

The crawfish was advertised as live crawfish. It was clearly frozen. You can taste the difference when it is frozen. The shrimp was overcooked. The skin was impossible to peel, and they turned to mush, literally shrimp paste. I hate to leave reviews like this. But I'm being honest. I ordered beignets, and instead of contacting me, or taking it off the order. They substituted for a generic cheesecake. I will not go back. read more

Went there on Memorial Day. It was my first time, service was ok but not bad. The menu wasn't hard to read and they answered any questions I had . The wait time wasn't bad . The food was AMAZING!!!

I eat here often. That should say enough! I love the crawfish I always get house mild. I do appreciate that I can get a half a pound of shrimp instead of a whole pound. We've also tried the shrimp rolls. They are amazing. And I'm from New Orleans so I'm really funny about shrimp ettoufe but, I tried it and it's really good. We appreciated it. read more
