My wife loves the king crab boil bag, and I like the catfish here. I stop here when I feel like we deserve a good rewarding meal. Food is good and it hits the spot when craving seafood. I hate seeing small businesses owners get bad reviews for "service" when people go places wanting extra attention. It's the reason why I took the time to type this review. They are nice, fast, and efficient and that's all you could ask for. Will go back! read more

Your Yelper Girl here. Each time we eat here the food is delicious. The service is excellent. It's a fun atmosphere. I like how it's in town square and you can go walking and shopping afterwards. read more

Last Saturday night, I visited the restaurant and placed two orders--one for king crab and one for snow crab. I ordered one serving for myself because I prefer spicy food, while my wife enjoys milder flavors. However, when we arrived home, we discovered that only one bag was included in the delivery. I promptly called the restaurant to speak with the manager, who explained that both orders had been placed in the same bag. When I pointed out that my wife could not handle hot food, I was told that I should have verified the order before leaving the restaurant. This experience has left me questioning whether I should continue spending my money at a place that blames its mistakes on the customer. At one time, I was thinking of making this my go-to place for seafood in Round Rock read more

Sat at the bar area for some crawfish & beer...love the new look of the restaurant and as always BEST CRAWFISH EVER!!! That sauce man!!! Full blown licking fingers, hands...elbows..everything!

Busy night, loved seeing that...the crew were all squared away, friendly, smiling and taking care of everyone! Thanks for taking care of us! Exactly what we were wanting! read more

The food can improve and the service. The red sauce tasted like it was from a can. The waitress only came to our table twice. To take our order and delivery our order. So I wouldn't recommend this place. It's not creole or Cajun cuisine. read more

Had the Fried Shrimp and the Fried Catfish. The shrimp were really fresh, very large, and had a great flavor to them. The same for the catfish fillets, large and flavorful. I really enjoyed the parsley seasoning stuff that they put on the fries and on top of the shrimp before they were brought out, and fresh lemon juice definitely brought it all together. The music was a little loud for the size of the space, but I mean that's not that big of an issue. We will definitely be back, and she's excited to have another place near her work to eat at for when she does Lent. read more

I ordered the shrimp poor boy for lunch and it did not disappoint! A little pricey, but very good! The waitress was very friendly and helpful. read more

Doesn't disappoint. This is the second time to try this seafood. It's so good. We prefer this place over other options in the area. We got the three in one sauce. It was so tasty! read more

Delicious food, this place has good options. The servers are so nice. The music is great!

FOOD IS SO FLAVORFUL. We got the crab legs with all the spices mixed together, and the food came out in less than 10 minutes. We also got the fresh raw oysters (freshwater!) , which were PERFECT. Staff is super friendly and helpful. read more

Lousiana Crab Shack - Snow Crab Legs - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

This location can use some training over all. Perhaps utilizing the Georgetown staff to come train this location will be a good start. Server: Our immediate interaction with the hosts (one clearly was in training) was very awkward. We were "greeted" with a stare and awkwardly walked ourselves to a booth. We had Very limited interaction throughout ordering. Weren't asked what we wanted, we just ordered cause the employee stood there and stared. They Didnt ask for refills, how the food was, or general check up. Food: gumbo was super runny, no flavor. Fried shrimp was okay (kinda dry). Lemon pepper wings came out good. We left a hand written review in order to encourage the waiters to do a better job. Overall, this place has potential but can use some management guidance. Maybe have the severs shadow others at the Georgetown location as stated earlier. read more

My husband called in his order and hour ago. I'm still sitting in the car waiting on the food. They didn't cook it until hours later. I told them several times as they continue bringing out other orders tht I'm waiting with kids in the car for an order I called in hours ago. They lack urgency. And the tab is 45 dollars. They do not appreciate your business. Find another seafood place to eat. MIGHT I SUGGEST HOOK AND REEL. read more

Food service and ambience is fantastic 100 percent greatest seafood I've had Better than New Orleanss very own top crab shack I'd say this place deserves your business and you will not be disappointed. read more

First time coming here with hubby. We ordered a lb. of clams, mussels, shrimp, king crabs, 2 corns, 2 steamed rice, onion rings and a tea for hubby. Total came to $128.62. We chose the mix of 3 flavors mild. We finished everything. It was delicious. Service was good. They have a few small TV's but the music sound overpowered the TV, which was totally ok for me since it was my type of music. Overall, great experience and will definitely come back. read more

My boyfriend and I came here at least once a week, Laura is super friendly and personable. Not only do we come here for the food but for the wonderful service we get while being there. The staff here goes the extra mile to make sure we are comfortable and attended to. The Crawfish I get is always hot, large and delicious(: the Po'boy my boyfriend gets and always how he likes it There's probably no other place we'd want to get of seafood from read more

Had a soft shell crab poboy for the first time. Glad I had it here! This place has a very friendly and attentive staff, amazing creole food and a laid back atmosphere. Glad they're close read more

It's now named Bayou. Hubby and I love this place. We always order the Shack #5 in Garlic lover sauce and fried calamari. The music is awesome. It brings me back to my days living and growing up in San Francisco. read more

First impressions go a long way. The sign says they're open until 9:00 pm. My wife and I walked in at 8:10 pm - first time (would-be) customers. The girl behind the bar says the kitchen is about to close because the cook is about to leave and go home. No food. Asked us to come back some other day. Yeah... right... Won't be back, and will let all my neighbors in the area know about this experience. read more

Service was nice very friendly and fast, but im from louisiana and this do not taste like louisiana seafood the sauce is nasty also has a sweet taste to it seafood isn't supposed to be sweet i got all sauces and fire had no spice to it at all. We threw most of our food away i never throw away crabs and shrimps. But hey this just my review. read more

So glad this place is open! Delicious Cajun classics and excellent customer service! The staff was super friendly and the food came out quickly. The soft shell crab po'boy was amazing and plenty of food to feed two people at lunchtime. I will definitely be back soon and can't wait to try more! read more

Best crab in town! The staff is friendly, professional and fun. Great music and as I said before the best seafood in town!

So disappointed in this place . We wanted to have crawfish and decided to try this place regardless of the reviews because it was the closest place for crawfish to us. About 2 weeks ago we wanted to eat crawfish there so I called just to make sure they were open and asked if they had crawfish, some guy answered and I asked if they were open and if they had crawfish available, he said yes so I told him we would be there in 2 hours . We showed up 2 hours later, sit down , order or drinks and when the girl asked us for our order , we asked about the different options available for crawfish, she said " Sorry but we are out of crawfish " really ?? Wow !! So we just walked right out . If you are going to try the crawfish, call right before you go. read more

5/5 Every time we come food is always amazing, fresh, and hot. Service is A1. Food comes out in no time read more

Had the grilled shrimp salad and I was impressed on how fresh and big the shrimp were. The salad was so delicious and will def be back for more. read more

The food was good. Had the catfish and the calamari. The service was outstanding! Great job!

Always love coming here. The crab is always great and so is the crawfish. I really enjoy the gumbo as well. The best seasoning is bayou fire! Service is always great. read more

Greeted as soon as I walked through the door and then again by the Manager. Great service! Great food!! Served within 15 minutes! Impressive! I'll be back! read more

Had the catfish basket with Cajun fries. I asked for the bayou sauce on the side! Everything was great. Just a tad salty for me, but I ate it all. The Arnold Palmer tea was great! But what stood out for me is the great service from the person greeting people coming in, the waitress, and greeting people as they leave. So everything was on point with friendly , punctual service and everything was made to order. We are here from Dallas visiting friends. read more

Just ate here and the food did not disappoint. Garlic seasoned crawfish were so good, and our children (5 & 8) enjoyed them as well. The fire seasoned crawfish were equally good. The catfish nuggets and calamari were perfect to start, and the Cajun rice was amazing. Service was quick and friendly. Lots of flavor options and spice levels to cater to your taste. There are lots of foods for the non-crawfish fans. Must try. You get bibs, gloves and wet naps... go enjoy without leaving messy. read more

I'm giving them one star because it doesn't let you rate lower. My husband and I used to come here at least once a week to enjoy their amazing crawfish and sauce! Unfortunately the management changed and the business has gone down the drain! The manage tried selling these twice boiled crawfish as live and you can't even open them without having it turn to mush. To make even worse the manager was sitting at the bar eating and watching the game and didn't even acknowledge our concerns. He got upset that we were not happy and was cocky about his full restaurant the night before. Sorry Mr manager but you have run this once amazing business to the ground and I hope for the restaurant that they hire someone with some standards. What a damn shame!! read more

Service was super fast. Food was really good! I had the #1 combo, with bottom of the bayou sauce, the spiciest, but it really wasn't all that spicy. However, I can tolerate the heat of a habanero pepper, so I'm probably not the best judge for that. This family owned established did not disappoint. Definitely worth every penny read more

So, after hearing some good feedback from a couple of friends, decided to try this location off of Hwy 79 in Round Rock. Suffice to say it was a horrible decision on my part. Once seated and order placed for a party of (4) with our young waitress, not exactly what happened but after waiting literally 25 min for our appetizer of calamari, asked the waitress for status and she went & checked and came back stating "well, the kitchen is kinda busy but it will be out soon." At the 35 minute mark, finally received our appetizer. Smallest calamari I've ever seen and it was a bit overfried. At the 45 minute mark, received our entrees (all fried shrimp & catfish selections). Catfish was scarcely seasoned and definitely not "cajun" or Louisiana flavored at all. Oh, did I mention my wife & I ordered an additional side of Corn on the Cobb and it clearly was not fresh and I could not finish it. Unfortunately, this was likely one of the worst Louisiana restaurants I've been to in a long, long time and will never return. read more

I have been bragging to my son about how good the catfish tastes. I have been telling him that the catfish basket has 3 large pieces of catfish that has more catfish than the 5 piece catfish he orders at another restaurant. Then tonight I went there for dinner and ordered the 3 piece catfish basket and they gave me a basket with only 2 1/2 pieces of catfish. I was so disappointed. I'm just glad my son wasn't there to see it after I have been bragging about the catfish basket. I'll try it again in 6 months. read more

I really wanted to like this place as I am from Louisiana and this place is close to my house. Today ordered $60 worth of fish and shrimp for the family. The fish was soooo salty, nobody could eat it. My family was so hungry we tried to remove the bread and just eat the meat. It did not help much. I decided to drive back to the store to tell them (I never had to do that before in 30 years of eating out). I talked to the waitress, the same person who took my order. She said she could cook up a new order and tell the kitchen no salt. When I got home, guess what? Yes, was just as salty as the first batch. How should could not have know that the bread was pre-salted is mind boggling. Such a waste of time. Extremely disappointed. read more

Relocated to Hutto from Downtown ATX and was searching a good spot for dinner. Immediately crazed seafood even drive past Louisiana Crab Shack. Since eating solo decided to phone in the order from the parking lot. Call was immediately picked up by a polite lady that gave wonderful recommendations since it was my first time dining. Decided on a Build a Boil that included 1/2lb each shrimp (no head). Sausage, snow crab and dungeonous crab will Bayou Mild seasoning. Upon arrival I later learned a Build a Boil did not come with potatoes and corn so I added a order of each (3 potatoes for $3 and one corn for $2). Everything was A.MAZ.ING! No really. After reading the reviews I was on the fence but was really happy with my food. Everything was pipping hot, well seasoned (I probably could have went up in heat to Medium) fresh and PLENTIFUL. Shrimp was large and crisp, both crab was sweet and the sausage...OMG the sausage. Sooooo good...not the basic type but true Louisiana sausage with flavor and bite!! There was enough for 3 people. Aside from having to wait 10 minutes over the quoted time (the poor lady was the ONLY person working the floor juggling 7+ tables and call in orders) and the price, I was very happy with my experience and will definitely be back!! read more

My family and I decided to try this place. The food wasn't very good. Crawfish tasted so bad I couldn't eat it. Gumbo was bland. Two of the 3 plates we ordered came out with cold food. Just overall not great food. Now for the positive: all the staff was super nice. Our waitress did try her best and checked on us often. If only the food quality could match the service quality! read more

This is our first time here and the wait staff was so nice! Super attentive and helpful! I feel like all the bad reviews are just from entitled white people. The food was delicious! We'll definitely be coming back! Thank you! read more

8:26pm walked in...I asked "just sit anywhere?" Girl behind counter looked at clock & said very rudely yeah you can sit anywhere. Sat for a few minutes...never came to our booth! Don't waste your time or money on this place. Deserves 1/2 star or none! read more

This place is an utter disappointment. We walked in on a Sunday around 1pm for lunch, it was crickets inside. No music, no football on the TVs, It felt like a museum. We were sat at a table and drink order was taken and we were told they don't have any co2 for there taps. Ok then, we will take 2 bottled beers and our son ordered a sweet tea. Our beers were served hot and mine had an appetizing crust that had accumulated under the beer cap and smelled like it was stored in a locker room. And our son was served regular tea- instead of sweet tea. I asked if they could put on the game or at least some music and I was told the manager had not come in yet for the day and they were unable to access any music (???) At this point we realized it was time to get the check for our hot beers and hit the road. The Sunday staff included 1 waiter and a pseudo bartender with no manager on staff... I give this place less than a year to keep its doors open. read more

Food was very bland for being Cajun. Ordered Cajun fire for boiled seafood, the flavor was not Cajun nor was it spicy at all. There was like a nasty gel coating on the food. The food did not look or taste like it was boiled , but rather steamed in a bag. I will not be returning read more
