Solid place for Cajun fare (tons of options), fairly priced, good service…read more We got the crawfish etoufee, seafood gumbo, friend catfish with sides of hush puppies, cut corn, and potato salad, and bread pudding. All food was solid. Seafood gumbo was particularly good. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing through town. For any Midwesterners, you may find the potato salad a little bland. Was expecting a bit more but it was okay. Next time I would skip and get a different side. Most locals seemed to order 1/2 pound of boiled seafood.

Was in Houma during my birthday weekend and my in-laws recommended this spot. It was amazing. Wish…read moreI could back. Gave 4 stars due to the margarita I got did not contain any patron.

I wasn't disappointed the previous restaurants closed down and The Shack was brought in. Coming in to visit parent from Houston, we left stuffed and brought food home.

We also had the fried whole flounder which was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of breading. Plus we got the boiled crawfish and shrimp. My favorite boiled crawfish in Houma is at The Shack. Spicy, but not too spicy. The Shack really does a great job with boiled seafood.

Really enjoyed this place. I'll start with the kids area!…read moreIt's like a mini amusement park. We were able to sit and eat while looking directly at the play area our kids were playing in. Lots of props for photo ops and a giant chair which was so cute. There was also a wonderful Elvis tribute singer who literally sounded like Elvis. What a voice. Also shout out to the little kid who performed bc he was amazing! The food was also so good. I got the red fish and it was cooked perfectly and topped with a cream sauce which I loved. Also really yummy French fries. The margarita was also really tasty especially for being on special! Potato salad needs more mayo but other than that zero complaints. Can't wait to go back!

We had both crawfish and boiled shrimp and boiled crabs! And their red beans and rice are so good it was better than my mama!

But as of 5/16/26 this customers wont be satisfied until they solve the issue with their food. And please raise the AC & empty the bathroom cans . The over all inside was clean.

The shrimp poboy was pretty good, good bread, good shrimp, only catch is it comes with ketchup and mustard if that isn't your thing. I love the fries themselves but the boudin wasn't all that outstanding, but still overall good. Just a bunch of older maybe retired men going and shoot the crap with the waitresses type of place. It is an add on to the truck stop, but don't let that fool you. My ticket was $24 for my meal but was an up charge for the boudin fries

Lots of meats in the freezer section - we picked up stuffed pork chops and alligator patties. As we were checking out they just loaded up some fresh pork cracklins and we got a cup of those. So good! It's heavily seasoned so if you can't have or don't like salt, maybe see if they have any unseasoned. We also tried the gator balls - not my fave (tasted like maybe there was crawfish or crab mixed in) but ok.
