Crawfish Shack - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Crosby, Texas

This place feels like home. I've been coming here for at least 13 years to get crawfish and it's the best in the Houston area. Service is always exceptional and the crawfish is always amazing! Love all of the sides also. read more

Literally the BEST crawfish! Worth the drive every time! The owners always come by and say hi and the service is always a 10/10. Very cute shack, very Louisiana style read more

One of my fav spots to get crawfish!! Just the perfect amount of spice. If you like spicier, order spicier. I always get 3lbs crawfish mild with corn and potatoes. I do feel that the mushrooms do get a tad bit salty. Service is wonderful the staff is super attentive. This place is BYOB. So please don't forget your 6 pack of beer. They are kind enough to provide you with a bucket of ice to keep your beer cold. They don't permit outside drinks like sodas as they sell their own. Worth the drive. Be ready to wait in line. The wait time is usually between 30-45 mins. My advice would be to get there before it opens. Everything moves fairly quickly. I'd give it another star, however every time I order a cup of gumbo it's always room temp. Catch me here during crawfish season!!!! read more

I had a really disappointing experience at Crawfish Shack. My family has spent a lot of money here over time, so we expected at least a little respect in return. Instead, the management was extremely rude and unprofessional. They refused to let my mother-in-law in, even after everything we've supported them with as customers. There was no understanding, no effort to resolve the situation--just a flat-out rude attitude that made the whole experience feel disrespectful. It's honestly frustrating to be treated like that after being loyal customers. Because of this, I will not be coming back, and I won't be recommending this place to anyone. There are plenty of other businesses that actually value their customers. read more

If you are looking for delicious, savory, and FRESH CRAWFISH this is the place to be! The restaurant is in a covered, but open atmosphere. Be prepared to wait as this place gets packed very quickly. I would suggest going when they open to have a shorter wait time. Now, as soon as you come make sure you check in so you do not get skipped and take your seat. You can choose between mild, medium, mo spicy, med LA, and Spicy LA. I chose the Med LA with shrimp, garlic butter, and lemon juice on side. The spice was enough to enjoy and still get the kick of Louisiana flavor. Please note they do have a children's menu for the non crawfish eaters. If you are new to the crawfish game or a true crawfish lover come here and grab a taste of happiness! Tip: It is BYOB! Do not forget to bring your cooler with your fave drank! Please add their crawfish seasoning to fulfill your tastebuds! read more

I've eaten at crawfish shack a long long time since a kid. This last time I went I had the most frozen, watery baby crawfish egg filled crawfish. I was most concerned with the crawfish baby eggs I ate on accident. I told the OWNER. He all but called me a liar & said I should've seen the eggs, that are inside, before I ate them. Wouldn't refund, swap or anything. Looked at me like I was stupid & the whole staff gave me dirty looks until I left. No doubt this place is RACIST and the owners are rude & uncompromising with their black customers. I wouldn't spend another dime here ever read more

Everything from the food to the service! I really enjoy coming here! It's ambiance is immaculate. read more

Yesss. Very good and well seasoned crawfish. I love that you can drive thru and pick up your bags of crawfish. Lots of extras to add to the bag also. We added boiled eggs, corn on the cob, mushrooms, potatoes and sausage. Everything was fresh and tasty. My only disappointment was the extra items mentioned above were put in a separate bag without seasoning. read more

Absolutely delicious and amazing atmosphere. I recommend getting the medium LA spice. It comes saucy and so good. The service was 10/10, it is such a good vibe. We went at 2pm on a saturday and it was still pretty packed. Crawfish came out boiling hot and they were good quality crawfish. We drove more than an hour to eat here and it was so worth it!! read more

First tip, be prepared to wait. Once you navigate parking, you may walk up on a long line. This place is popular because it is BYOB. Admittedly the last time we tried to go the lines were so long and we just went further down 2100 until we found another crawfish spot that looked legit and was less crowded(I reviewed it some time ago). The servers are nice. It was surprising that some of them drove from College Station to work there. I think we tried a milder blend which wasn't very seasoned so you may want to aim for a mid-level for more kick. We will keep this in the rotation on days we have time to wait. read more

Line to go inside was insane so thankfully we pulled up at a decent time, only one person in front of us in the to go line. Service was great , but the star is obviously the crawfish. Been a while since I had good crawfish and this place exceeded my expectations. Great flavor and fresh crawfish !! read more

This is the best crawfish place I have ever been too. It's hard to catch them open sometimes, because they can sell out quickly, but it is worth the effort. read more

Food was nice hot when it came out. Service was okay. It's a BYOB so you know what that means. The building is nice and spacious. It's like you sitting outside in a barn but it's a shed though, 2 of us ate off this and we still had some leftover for the next day. The food was season great you were able to taste it. read more

Great service and great crawfish. I love their red beans and rice. They do their best to ensure everyone is seated timely and as busy as they are they really do treat you well. read more

Got there 30 minutes before the opened. There was 2 families there already so not too bad. By the time they did open for us to go in there was a long line waiting to dine in and a long line waiting in the drive thru. Crawfish had good flavor. Never had to wait for drink refills and the waitress was very nice. We will be going again soon before the season ends. We got the medium LA flavor read more

Removing stars and never returning. Dan the owner responded to a comment I made on a crawfish group, and said they sell the big container of seasoning if I wanted more. SIR what?? If you're going to sell 50 cent seasoning containers, FILL THEM UP! This is not for debate! I don't need a 16 oz seasoning container for 4 pounds of crawfish! I don't care if the individual seasoning was 1 cent. Don't sell it if you can't fill it up! You can't even fill up the small individual one, now why would I feel intrigued to buy the 16 oz one??? They charge for seasoning but fill it up less than halfway. Which was disappointing. It was good none the less read more

The Crawfish are just delicious!! I have yet to find a place that is better. I actually get them, and take them home to eat on my patio!

We visited the Crawfish Shack on a Friday night. There was a full parking lot, a drive-thru lane, and dozens (and dozens) of hungry patrons waiting outside. If you can't find parking on your first turn around the parking lot, I recommend dropping off everyone at the front and looping around again. On our secound try, we found a great parking spot that was well lit. For our party of 4, we waited about an hour. There is a constant flow of people leaving and people being seated. We entertained ourselves while we waited so it didn't feel like it took so long. Once we were seated, our waitress Stasha was fantastic. She was quick, friendly, very knowledgeable, and kept coming back to check on us. We dined on: - 2 lbs of medium spicy snow crabs with LA - 1 lb of the meaux (mo) spicy level crawfish - 2 lbs of the medium spice level crawfish - Crawfish Etoufee Our food was incredible and we even had enough to take some home. It made drive + wait time worth it. I can't wait to go back. I recommend you give them a try. read more

Once again I find myself making the Mud Bug Pilgimage to Crosby. Nothin' but good times, despite the climate change-driven difficulties in the crawfish market. I did pay more than I have. Did I get what I paid for? Lemetelyawhat, the value offered was a bargain before, and comparatively, it still is! Here's pictures, ask me no more questions! read more

Crawfish Shack - Shack Combo SPICY. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Crosby, Texas

Bathroom 5/5: The bathrooms are single-use so expect a line during peak hours. They were cleaned, well supplied, and orderly. Dining Area: 5/5: The place is indoors with an indoor/outdoor flow when the windows are open. For TX weather they were well prepared. Plenty of fans, and plenty of space between tables and high-top tables. There's not a bar area for single or solo visitors so expect to occupy an entire table by yourself. Customer Service 5/5: For a party of 4 we had no wait. We were seated right away and our waitress attended to us right away. She dumped our shells and checked on us quite frequently. Food 5/5: The crawfish was really good. I have been coming here since I was a kid. The food has always been good! They have crabs, shrimps, crawfish, etc. Price 3/5: We paid about $20 per person. They charged us for gloves, 50cents for water, and refills. So keep that in mind. Overall 22/25: I love this place. It's BYOB !! Can't go wrong with that. They post updates on their FB page so check it out before you go for any last-minute changes. read more

Been coming here for a couple years and although it's a drive from where I live it's well worth it! Good size crawfish, and the more spicy is a spice lovers dream. Service is good and the prices are fair. Great place for groups, kids and dog friendly. Also it's byob so you can enjoy your mud bugs with and ice cold beer. read more

I love the crawfish season here. The wait is worth it for dining in and trying to get out the house. I have been here multiple times every time I receive great food, drinks, and service. My friends and I every year plan a day to come to get crawfish even though we live an hour or more away. It makes you feel like you are at a crawfish boil with family. read more

Beautiful sized crawfish!! Now the flavors was a little off, water maybe was dirty. I ordered ten lbs, with half medium, and the other half spicy. Asked if I could get seasoning on the side and was told they wouldn't recommend. Very hard shells and meat was getting stuck. read more

Love the drive-thru convenience. They get busy but it's worth it! The crab legs are the best in Lufkin and the best price. Wednesday is boiled shrimp special price night. Pleasant service too! Highly recommend. read more

The first time I tried to eat here it was so packed that it was impossible to find any parking so my friend and I ended up leaving. This was my second attempt and this place is cray-z good! Be prepared to wait and have everyone in your party or they will skip you until your party is complete. We ordered the shack combo (2lbs crawfish, 1lb shrimp, 1 corn, 2 potatoes) and a cup of red beans rice. There is a smokiness to the red beans and rice that will really knock your socks off, SOOOO freaking good! The beans to rice ratio is a bit off so next time I will ask for more rice. You can choose the level of spice for the boiled food and we went with meaux spicy, the spiciest option. The crawfish and shrimp were cooked perfectly and spicy enough to leave your lips chapped by the end of the meal. The shrimp has the easy peel shell so it gets salty when you get to the ones soaking at the bottom of the bowl. It's not as flavorful as Viet-cajun but still worth the wait. read more

Far from home but worth the drive. BYOB and expect a wait so get there early. Picnic table seating.

We drove out from Richmond on a Friday and arrived around 4 to plenty of parking. We were greeted warmly by Dan (who turned out to be the owner) and a hostess and taken to a picnic table with our cooler (we had read online about the BYOB). Our waitress was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu options and ultimately we decided on 2 pounds crawfish, 1 pound shrimp, 1 sausage, and 1 pound snow crab legs w mo spice - a lot of food for two people but we did it! The food was fantastic and honestly seemed like generous portions. Dan was making the rounds and we had a nice chat with him about the family run business. Overall a very chill vibe and fun time with great value! We'll be back! read more

I can't give a fair review on the seafood. I'm allergic. But the sausage was delish. My dining mates all enjoyed the large bowl of crab legs. Shrimp and crawdads. Why would anyone eat a crawfish ewww... Fun vibe place~ the staff were all quite pleasant and accommodating... read more

It's great Creole/Cajun food. I love the Crawfosh of course. The staff is amiable and kind. The rustic atmosphere is just too simple though--a bit rough. I wish for a local spot that could compete with Pappadeaux, which is overpriced and overrated. I think the Meaux family could do it though! read more

Really great crawfish and crab! Traditional style crawfish prep that comes to the table pretty quickly after ordering. Crowded, but the wait wasn't too bad. We were a party of 10 and only had to wait about 30 min. They won't let you put your name on the list until the whole party is there, literally standing under the awning. However, we had our cooler with us and the wait wasn't too bad at all (we came at 2pm on a Sunday). Parking is terrible -- they have two lots and we had to circle each a few times before we lucked into a spot, which is what all of our friends had to do too. But aside from that we all had a really great time! Great food, friendly wait staff, good service. It seems as though they cook the add-ins separately, so for added flavor you will have to soak them in your own crawfish seasoning at the bottom of the bowl. They have four different levels of spiciness, so everyone can gets what works for them! It is also BYOB, but only for alcoholic beverages, because they sell non-alcoholic drinks there. read more

Hands down the best Louisiana style crawfish in Houston. The service is always great. The servers are very alert and come back pretty often to check on you. The owners will not serve unless the product is up to standard. So consistency will always be their key. read more

First timers and we will definitely be visiting again! The platter with crawfish, shrimp, and snow crab was wonderful. I got the spicy spice blend and it was the most amazing flavor that paired very nicely with the snow crab and crawfish. Honestly, I could have done away with the shrimp but it was good too. I also tried a cup of the chicken and sausage gumbo. I am not usually a gumbo person, but o.m.g....hands down the best I've ever had. The chicken was fabulous, the roux was not too dark, and the broth was not too thick and not too runny. Perfection. The staff were absolutely delightful . Every single person that we encountered was so friendly, happy, and smiling. They welcomed us, tended to our every need, and sent us home with a fully bellies and smiles on our faces. GREAT job Crawfish Shack! Kudos! read more

There was a section of the restaurant partitioned for a private party but the was a DJ with volume so loud the rest of the restaurant was furious. Apparently this party was for a friend of the owner and they would not turn down the volume. Here is the message - the owner is more important than the customers. The owner can now post some response about customers focus but his actions speak louder than posting stuff in order to preserve his income stream. read more

Food is always good here. Service is as well. It is an outdoors restaurant so if you enjoy that then the ambiance is nice too.

This business has both indoor and outdoor seating, the BEST flavor of crawfish I've had in crosby, && the most amazing service that never changes. Consistency is key along with cleanliness. read more

Food was delicious, very great service & clean establishment. Prices and menu items are vast.

Drove by this place wanting crawfish and noticed the long wait outside so I figured this place must be really good. Hell. No. Customer service was terrible. They have stupid rules that "been working for us for years" that really screws over the customer. The wait outside is just a business tactic that clearly worked on me and who knows how many others. The inside had a lot of empty space but they just don't sit you because it's their rules (don't even try to get an explanation from the owner of the wife, they will give you the run around). Second, nothing special about this crawfish. Matter of fact, it was very subpar. Water. Salt. Crawfish. If you want spice, cayenne pepper. That's it. I didn't taste garlic, paprika, onion powder, anything that goes in a good boil at all, it was literally brown, salty water. My lips were wrinkled after eating 2 lbs. I ordered 3lbs. I barely managed to do the 2 lbs. I left a whole pound on the table. I was so dehydrated from all that salt that I couldn't continue. Anyways, that's just my 2 cents. If you want good quality boil crawfish, go to LA CRAWFISH, THE FAMOUS CRAB, LOTUS FLOWER, hell, even MAMBOS is better than this place (sorry MAMBOS). read more
