    Crawfish poboy
    Thea W.

    We absolutely loved this place! We had a huge group who came into town and all met here to eat once arriving. Our server was absolutely fantastic, the manager was great and the food was even better. They did not have crawfish poboys on the menu but they let me customize it and it was soooo delish. If you're looking for some great seafood, cold cheap beer and good times this is your place!

    Saw the good reviews so excited to try. Casual, fun atmosphere. Starting with the Frozen Cosmo Martini cocktail which is amazing! The weather is a little chilly or we could have sat outside. There are heaters so it would have been fine. Our server is happy and efficient and has great suggestions. We said the boys would have liked this bc the games are on. The candied oysters with feta and blue cheese were so unique. Of course we had to try the seafood platter and very glad we did! Fabulously fried, the flavors were perfect! Plus the side salad with blue cheese was a great beginning. Wow! Great choice!

    1/2 Fried shrimp with onion rings and a side of sassy sauce!

    The food was just as good as Shucks in Abbeville,La.. with the exception of lots of oyster shells.. they maybe just learning how to shuck but.. just be careful.. you can break a tooth.. Even the oyster soup had a big shell.. It's not going to stop me from going.. The taste was amazing!! We are just aware that they're maybe shells.. The service was amazing!! Thank y'all for coming to Lake Charles ..

    My family and I went to SHUCKS Lake Charles last night for a late Mother's Day celebration and it was great! I made reservations for 5:15pm the morning before just to be safe because I had heard how packed it had been. My boyfriend and I went about an hour early to have some drinks while we waited for everyone and the restaurant had people but was pretty empty..the bar top however was full but luckily had TWO empty seats. We sat down and got some beers and the bartenders were great and attentive! I will say the bar top itself is a little smaller than i expected for a new swla restaurant (they know people like to drink down here). At about 4:50 I went to tell the hostess who I was, that I had a reservation, and that I was sitting at the bar so that when our table was ready they could come get me. Good thing I made reservations, because as I was doing that I heard the other hostess tell someone else that they were completely booked for the night!! Hostess came and got me shortly and sat us outside on the patio. The breeze coming off the bayou got a little gusty at times but it was very nice..not to mention the live music that started soon after. We ordered more drinks, 4 dozen RAW oysters, gator bites, and each of us got an entree. The gator bites were lightly battered and tender..the sauce? Amazing! The oysters were very good, and pretty big! No complaints! I got the grilled seafood platter which was also good (a little bland for my liking but still good) the grilled oysters that it comes with I have decided are not for me haha I'd much rather them raw or fried! Grilled salmon was good but the glaze on top is what made it stand out! The star of the show however was my boyfriend's shrimp and grits! The grits were some of the best grits we've had..which is why I have zero pictures because everyone scarfed them down! Megan, our server, was phenomenal! She accidentally brought us draft beers instead of bottles and we joked about it the rest of our dinner because she was honest and had a great sense of humor! Mr. David, one of the owners, was also walking around and introducing himself and checking on all the tables which was nice. Very nice man and of course very passionate and knowledgeable about his restaurant! While as a group we like Salt Revival's oysters a little better we will keep coming back!

    Who is the guy in the big pitcher sitting on oyster shells when you walk in the main entrance?

    I do not have the answer for your question. I live in Texas and that was the first time I have eaten there.

Our waitress said it could be a while before she could answer that question. The shrimp order were soft, not firm. You could tell they were cooked in the crawfish boil, and were gritty.

The corn and potatoes were also not spicy. The boudin balls were very large and those were good.

In addition to being a great seafood restaurant, it's also a seafood market where you can pick up things to cook at home. It's convenient to I-10, so travelers could easily exit, eat, and get back on the road. This is a simple and easy place to navigate when you know the method. First grab a menu or look at the one on the wall, next walk up to the counter and order and pay. You'll get a number you carry to a table. A server will bring you your food when it's ready, which generally is pretty quick. Then you eat and leave. What to eat? Well that's a good question! Most everything there is great. Seafood is the star of the show, and one can't go wrong with a seafood platter. This is a huge pile of everything that can serve two normal humans. Too often I ordered the Medium Shrimp Platter, there's nothing wrong with this choice, but I needed to try other different things. A Seafood Stuffed Baked Potato is a great choice, and very filling. For the grazers there are some solid whole meal salads. Last time I was in I just got a Fish Platter, which has two huge fillets with fries, coleslaw, and bread. Gumbo and etouffe are good choices too! I really have no idea if their dessert is any good as I never have room for any. I guess one could get some to go...
