Crawfish Shack & Oyster Bar

We ate here tonight for dinner & were nervous about driving far for a place weve never tried but it was delicious! The staff was super friendly , them laughing amongst themselves and with tables just made a nice homey environment. Surprised to see such harsh reviews, we loved it thank yall for such a good night , we will be making the drive again soon

The worst crawfish I've ever tasted ... if you're a crawfish's lover, don't bother coming here. They were small and mushy... tasted like they were dead when cooked. We promptly left it uneaten and grateful we only tested their daddies with 1lb. We also had a shrimp diablo appetizer and it was cooked well but over all bland. There was no kick in jalapeño and it was served with ranch. Red beans and rice was good.

This place is unassuming, but that doesn't mean that their food isn't delicious. My son and I ordered 2 pounds of crawfish. It comes with 2 potatoes, 1 ear of corn, and 2 sausages. We added an extra ear of corn. We kept the spice level at medium, which was perfect for me. The server offered us bibs and gloves. We took him up on the gloves. It was nice to enjoy crawfish without getting the spice in my skin. The sauce was so good! We peeled our crawfish and dipped them in it for extra flavor. A few of the crawfish were overcooked and mushy, but only a few. We will be back to try some of their other boil options as well.

The customer service here is unmatched and this place is really a hidden strip-mall gem. I love their crawfish! They are so big and seasoned to perfection. I haven't eaten inside for year (recently moved back) and mostly been ordering out but, I will eat in before crawfish season ends. Love this place!

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CARD INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE! I ordered a pound of snow crab to go!!! 2 days later they charged me almost 20 dollars for a tip!! Scammers! Ultimately, I am very, very sad because this was my favorite place to go came here almost 3 times a week. I cannot come. I do not trust them because it's the fact that I scratched out the tip amount to avoid this type of thing and they still proceeded to steal for me. Also, from the looks of the other reviews, this is not the first time they have done this and I promise that they are not gonna get away with this.

AMAZING!!! Best crawfish spot in town! Friendly staff & Cajun feel! & a $3.50 beer in Austin, Texas, just can't beat that.

The crawfish tasted frozen and it was sitting in a lb of oil... I would never eat here again for crawfish..

Came from out of town and decided to go somewhere close. The shrimp I ordered was good but my boyfriend got his food at least 10 minutes before me. His po boy lacked fish but had an abundance of pickles. Prices too high, didn't get the king crab because it was $75/lb?! Terrible service from the bartender who just talked to a lady and the manager at the bar. We left as fast as possible.

This was probably the worst crawfish I have ever eaten. It was so overpriced, the crawfish and shrimp were bland, and it seemed like every mussel shell was empty. If I could give less than 1 star I would. I think I will drive to Houston or boil my own the next time I have a craving for crawfish. Don't waste your money guys.

If I could give zero stars I would. This used to be my go to crawfish place but after my last visit I won't ever go back. To start, I was served over 1.5lbs of crawfish that were already dead when they got boiled. I pointed it out after half of my first pound was bad, and the next batch had even more. There is no quality control. Place smells horrible nowadays. Building full of code & health violations I'm sure. My friend and I both got very sick the night of eating there. Everything tasted off The quality has declined greatly in the last couple months & my most recent visit they overcharged both my friend and I. They called it an "auto gratuity" because our amount together was over $150 even though we stated from the beginning we were separate tickets. They did not give me the option to tip, they added the tip themselves and after I called the restaurant for the two days following the incident, a helpful manager tried to make the situation right and told me the owner was made aware and he would refund me the auto gratuity. Instead of refunding the auto gratuity, I opened my bank app to find an even bigger charge on my card. The owner tried one single time to call me 5 days later and never refunded me. He should have refunded me the moment he was made aware and saw the discrepancies himself, especially after I called the establishment trying to get ahold of him 10 times before he gave me the time of day. Unless you want fraudulent charges on your card and them taking your money, don't go here.
