I was brought up in the neighborhood behind this location and remember a Wuvs Hamburger place being near this location. 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. Absolutely delicious food and the staff were very hospitable. read more

I always love the food at The Shack. Today we had some seafood gumbo and it was full of shrimp and crabmeat and delicious. 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. read more

The food is always on point at this location. They use just the right amount of spices and never too much salt!

Not good Was good years ago. All the great cooks are no longer there. Boiled seafood is too spicy to enjoy. Overpriced and overrated. read more

Our order was incorrect. We ordered the friend fish poboy with tarter sauce instead of mayonnaise and they did not get that correct and the fish was room temperature.. not pleased. read more

The restaurant is nice and the service is great. But damn someone really likes salt back there. I love local and come here a lot but I'm starting to find alternatives. The dishes and the boiled seafood is just way too salty for me. read more

Went for lunch everything was seasoned perfectly. The charbroiled oysters were great. The crawfish was cooked perfectly the potatoes were a bit spicy for me but was still delicious. The sausage was a no for me and everyone in my group agreed. My mom got the shack jr. and it was amazing. The onion rings were the best with honey mustard. My sister had the boiled shrimp and she said they were delicious. Snow crab was a bit overcooked but were seasoned well. The price was right. Will definitely be back soon. read more

While traveling the USA during Covid-19 times, we stopped to stay in Houma Louisiana for a few days. This restaurant was recommended to us by a local and I am so glad we went!!! Not sure why this place does not have more yelp reviews - it is so cute, the food is amazing and very affordable!!! The restaurant was packed, however, it was spaced out very nicely due to covid. Everyone was wearing masks and being respectful - we felt very safe the entire time. We got the big platter for two which included a side and all fried foods you could imagine - crab, shrimp, oysters, fries. It was very very good !!! Not too heavy for it being all fried. We loved it!! Would definitely recommend!!! read more

The Shack - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houma, Louisiana

This spot was recommended by some family members so had to give it a try. First out the gate walk in, to a warm southern hospitality welcome, friendly, social, and respectful crew. Wait for about 010 mints (was packed) to be seated. Was seated about 5 mints later waitress came with menus and got our drinks. We ordered the "The Shack" with Crab soup, loveeeeeee the soup was spicy and deeeeishhhh, kinda too spicy for my wife, but she's sorta a baby when it corks to spicy stuff lol. I ordered 2Ib of crawfish, crawfish wasn't really that flavorful, and small to medium( beginning of the season), however the most disappointing part was the potatoes, they tasted as if they weren't boiled in anything, was expecting more. Overall we will return, and check it out again to give it another try. One more thing I forgot to mention, I'm not a fan of cheesecake by no means.... however the turtle cheesecake has change my opinion entirely 5/5 recommend trying! read more

Friendly, helpful staff who greet you with a smile and hustle to ensure your food and dining experience are first rate. Excellent food and delicious drinks. Wonderful casual atmosphere, all in all my favorite spot to drop in for Cajun country food while staying in Houma. read more

Food taste like it's fried in old oil. No seasoning other than burnt flour! Our server wasn't bad but the other young snotty servers were incredibly rude! Plenty of other places pass on this one when you have the chance!! read more

Fifty stars to Thursday's all you can eat boiled shrimp. Spices in boil are excellent. The corn comes out delicious and the shrimp is simply amazing. Staff is fantastic! Had it not been for Facebook marketing this place, I would have missed the best thing in this town Great job guys! Well done. read more

Boil crab legs have me drooling even thinking about them. The flavor and spice is so good. I cannot wait to go back!

Food is amazing. Service very good. Beautiful atmosphere. Recommend the shack every times

Food was ok, not great. Service was mediocre. Did try to call before we went, they never answered the phone. Went in to order out. Was told to wait in my car. Waited nearly 30 minutes. Then I just drove up to the window. Order had been waiting. Food was not even hot anymore. Unfortunately, we didn't know that until after we had driven off. Not in a hurry to go back. read more

Great restaurant with a friendly staff. Pretty much anything on the menu is great. When they have boiled crabs, get em...that's my favorite. read more

Always have a great meal at the shack. If you are looking for seafood or home style cooking in the Houma area this is the place to go. Reasonable prices and portions. The staff is on point and always friendly. Love the local art work displayed throughout. read more

I was looking for my first craw fish meal while in Louisiana and I went here while doing some work training. They did have some (was just the start of the season Dec2017) so they were small but for a first timer, I was ok with that. I ordered 1lb of craw fish, 1/2 lb of potatoes, corn and sausage, with 2 beers and my total ticket was like $13.50. Girl working the bar was great, even showed me how to eat it proper like a local. Was one of the better meals I had while in Houma, especially for the price. I'd totally tell anyone to go here if dropping into Houma for a few days. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! One of the local scam artists (not affiliated with the restaurant) took us to the Shack restaurant. That's a whole different story but it doesn't have anything to do with the restaurant so i'll spare you the details. Lol Our server was pretty awesome. I wish I could remember her name to give her a shout out but I don't. Great service. The food was delicious. We ordered the Crawfish, Shrimp, and Crab broil. It came it Luke warm with very little seasoning but the crawfish were pretty big (baby lobsters. Lol) considering it's the end of the crawfish season. Delicious! Go check it out! read more

The Shack - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houma, Louisiana

Very disappointed. Our first night in Houma and we were searching for something better than fast food. We had heard that The Shack was one of the better eateries in the area, so we were excited to try it. We ordered 4lbs of boiled shrimp and was surprised to see that at least 1/4 of that was shrimp heads with no bodies attached. The seafood gumbo was burnt and the the shrimp in that was inedible due to being so over cooked. Of all of that my biggest disappointment was dessert. I ordered bread pudding to go and when I opened the to go box, there was one piece in one and the other box contained tiny crumbled pieces, like "leftovers" or the last pieces in the pan. It was embarrassing to see. How could someone serve that? I paid for a dessert and felt that whoever put those pieces in as a full dessert had no regard for their job or for me as a paying customer. Very sad. read more

Had an unbelievably amazing meal at The Shack! Coming from New Orleans for a few-night reprieve and came here. Everything was delicious (gumbo was not as dark, thick or flavorful as I have had but nowhere can do EVERYTHING perfectly) and the service was impeccable. Chargrilled oysters were massive and so juicy, fried catfish was perfect and not greasy at all, fried oyster poboy was a hit, and probably the best cheesecake I've ever had. Definitely would go back to try the bread pudding and pecan pie, as well as their crawfish and peel n eat shrimp. Do not miss this place if you're in Houma! Thank you The Shack staff! read more

The Shack - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houma, Louisiana

One of my favorite if not my favorite eating spot in my hometown town of Houma LA. Very very good Louisiana cuisine perfect in every way. Literally everything I have had here was beyond good. All food is prepared fresh and very consistent. The decor is traditional Louisiana in every way. Can't wait until I get back home to indulge again. read more

Boiled seafood here is delicious. I would not recommend the fried food or plate lunches. I got the lunch today and for $10 I expected a lot better-it reminds me of cafeteria/hospital food. Everything was grossly under seasoned and shrimp boulettes were rubbery read more

For some reason they said they could not get fresh raw oysters because of the temperature which seemed odd. 321 down the street and Critters had them and you would think with the oysters being harvested less than 30 miles away then that would be no problem. I was there in October and last May with no issues getting them. read more

Rolled into town and hit up yelp for somewhere to eat per usual. The hotel was close to The Shack and the desk clerk recommended it so I hit them up. Walked in and took a seat at the bar. One of the girls took my drink order and brought me a menu. They had a great selection but when in Louisiana I get seafood. I was bummed they were out of raw oysters and crawfish but I went with the seafood platter. Fried shrimp, catfish, onion rings and a whole fried crab. Sausage gumbo came out first though and it was excellent. The platter came with fried oysters but I swapped that for more catfish because I only like them raw. Anyway the meal came out in short order and it was delicious. Everything was perfectly prepared and there was a lot of it, nearly too much and I'm a fat boy. The meal was delicious, the help was attentive and the place was clean. 5/5 will eat here again when I'm in town. read more

Always a full parking lot, good service, nice atmosphere, a well oiled machine. We enjoy boiled crawfish, boiled mushrooms and garlic. You can't go wrong! read more

Neither loved or hated this spot. It was my first time in Houma, and everyone said this is the go to spot. Hummm. Maybe we we're missing something,. We got the seafood platter, it was ok, not great. The gumbo was Just ok. read more

Overall this is a good spot for legit seafood. The last two visits I had the chargrilled oysters. They're on the grill a little too long and most don't have any of the butter/sauce left when they hit the table so they come off a little dry. That won't stop us from going back next time though. All the other stuff our party ordered was great along with the service. read more

Frequent often for lunch. Have never ordered the seafood platter. Ordered the large for 2 of us to share. Did not disappoint. Full of shrimp oysters and fish and topped with a large soft shell crab. Fed 2 more people with the leftovers. The batter is not heavy and not greasy. Price in line with the abundance of food served. Look forward to ordering the same when we visit again. read more

Excellent food and service. The sides are large enough to share. Oysters were salty and delicious. Red beans were flavor filled. Great atmosphere. Definitely will go back. read more

What awesome food! We really lucked out choosing this establishment... we'll recommend this place anytime.

This place is awful!!!!! We had a reservation and they did not honor it. They screwed up big time and did not apologize at all !!! No customer service. This would have never happened when Nancy was in charge. Want to give no stars but not possible read more

We were looking forward to our lunch since it had a good review and the prices and selection looked great. The food was mediocre. We order chargrilled oysters and they were not cooked well and were not as seasoned as they should be. Next, a shrimp Povoys and fried catfish. The food arrived cool-warm. The fish was over cooked and tofu as were the shrimp. We were hoping to savor the local seafood at it's best but we're disappointed as the food was nothing to write home about. There was limited social distancing and several patrons were admitted without masks. read more

They have a pick-up window if you want to take your seafood home to eat. I had the fried catfish and it was a huge portion. I had a side of onion rings and they took up most of the plate. I was only able to eat two I was stuffed! They have several TV's through out and the service was good. The crabs looked amazing. read more
