West Henly Boil Shack

What a great find! We had etoufee, gumbo, fried shrimp and fish at our table and all were great. The table next to us ordered burgers which looked amazing. We will definitely be back!

Cute little food hall right outside of Dripping Springs about 15min past Dreamland west on 290. Decor is rustic and a mix of hole in the wall beer joint decor.Young waitstaff that is friendly.COLD beers. There is a large outdoor area for kids to run wild. Smaller inside that is cooler than sitting outside but the ac is not blasting in here (something to consider on HOT texas summer days).We were craving some gulf oysters and cajun food. It was towards the end of crawfish season. Gulf oysters 8/10. Really good. I love my oysters served SUPER cold. It was on a ice try so it was cold.. just not super cold. Not a deal breaker. The freshness was like eating fresh gulf oysters at Acme in NOLA.Fried pickles 8/10, Good to split with some beers.Crawfish 8/10. We are by all means NOT experts for crawfish. It was very flavorful, not mushy, enough meat to fill my hubs belly. Corn and potatoes not over cooked.Beers 10/10. Ice cold and a nice selection without breaking the bank.We'e come back! You should visit! We are looking forward to coming here in the fall for beers and a chill time once mother nature in TX cools a bit.

Great old fashioned Texas roadhouse. Casual, friendly service, large portions, yummy food. Easy parking. We will definitely be back on our next drive through the Hill Country.

The outdoor setting during the Spring time is hard to beat at this Cajun styled restaurant. The seafood is quite good as well. The crawfish boudin balls are a must as an appetizer. Plump and crispy balls of crawfish stuffing. Super tasty. The fried shrimp is excellent as well. Plump and lightly battered with a very nice flavor. The Oysters were okay but the cornmeal batter was a little bland. The boiled crawfish were spot on. Just the right level of spice and juicy. Good selection of beers. Service was prompt and friendly.

We've been coming to the Boil Shack since they first opened, but unfortunately they seem to have lost their way after the untimely passing of their founder. Three different servers played tag team with our table, with none taking any particular interest. Food came out really late, with the appetizer arriving just after our main dishes. Fried green tomatoes were overcooked and underwhelming. Even the deep-fried shrimp, usually our favorite, was smaller than it used to be - and the tiny little crawfish tails were fried to a crisp. Menu has about twice as many items as it used to - but seems to be a case of jack of all trades, master of none.

Brought the family for an hour or two.Fantastic place, friendly help, great menu, we will be back !

I love a casual local joint like this. Fried green tomatoes were nicely done and very tasty. Etoufee was an unusual color but very flavorful. I cleaned my plate for sure.

My favorite local Cajun restaurant! Friendly staff and excellent food!! Definitely recommend it to everyone who loves Cajun food!

Amazing authentic food. Quick friendly service. Everything we ordered was 5 stars. Cant wait to come back. The salmon was my favorite it came with a creamed spinach that was so delicious.

Really good seafood in a very casual setting, but located in the middle of nowhere. Nice outdoor area. Good family place.
