Crawfish Shack Seafood

I had 2 pounds of crawfish sat down inside the restaurant ate them all. This was delicious.

Very small restaurant and seafood shop. Very limited seating. Counter service looks like mostly to go orders. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. You have to wait a bit. The hey cook it to order so call ahead if you don't want to wait. Definitely not cheap, but fresh seafood will cost you and this is fresh. Shrimp was good. I will come back and try something else.

I've been going to this place for almost 11 yrs. I love the food. The service is good

We haven't been to the Crawfish Shack in a while and generally we order out. When my husband got home with our food, he said the size of the restaurant had shrunk. He also said the owner said business was a bit slow. It made me sad because it is our go to for spicy crawfish. The crawfish is fresh and super spicy (plumps your lips!), the soft shell crabs are lightly dusted and fried with a delicious spice and are served with a spicy (think plumped lips!) remoulade sauce. We generally get corn and potatoes that are cooked in the same spices as the crawfish. Occasionally we get the coleslaw which is a bit sweeter than I generally like, but is a good foil for the spicy food.

This was our first time coming to this restaurant and we thought it was just okay. It's very small restaurant and the food was average. The floors were also super sticky so it made me feel uncomfortable but the tables were clean. There's both inside and outdoor seating but inside was just larger tables. A lot of people ordered for takeout.

This once clever and popular seafood eatery is no more. They recently completed a makeover and I was ready to chow down when I arrived. To my shock and disbelief, the restaurant was less than 1/2 the size it was before. I didn't recognize anyone from my previous visits in fact it turns out that hands have changed. There were two long tables not 12 and no table cloths with rickety metal chairs. The area around the cash register seemed like it was hastily rigged with bare plywood, nails sticking out and flimsy plastic around the machine for protection . I asked why they had down sized so much and the owner/manager said that they lost a lot of business since the CDC had basically shut down. They all work from home now. I was saddened but something was off.There was a machine stocked with an assortment of well chilled soft drinks and water and their display of fresh fish on ice was there as well. The chalk board had many new items advertised and so I placed my order to go.However, that is where the similarities to the former ended. There was a redo of the menu as I expected and prices have gone up yet again. The first up grade to the prices came a little over a year ago and as I eat raw oysters, it was very noticeably much higher priced. The old standard Shacktastic items were there but I was alone and didn't want a huge meal sitting at one of the two tables. I ordered something new on the menu because the picture was glorious. It was a platter of beautifully fried fresh calamari which looked as good as I have ever seen anywhere. So I ordered that, a side of 6 hushpuppies and a soda from the machine. I got my brown bag to go and noticed it was all under a single dinner sized Styrofoam box. I quickly drove home and to my surprise, the hushpuppies were the size of walnuts . They tasted good but they weren't the same as before. The french fries were ordered cajun style which meant they had a dusting of spice on the top. They had been frozen, I could tell as they were crinkle cut and dry on the inside. Now to the worst part of my visit. The beautiful plate of calamari turned into the smallest prebreaded and frozen tiny bites ever.( I think that is either bait and switch or false advertising.) I paid $20.00 for my meal and threw most of it away. If you want to return or try it for the first time, ask if the seafood is fresh. The catfish, Swai and tilapia are on ice as are the shrimp but not the calamari. In my opinion, the current management has no clue as to why their business is off unless he was justifying his slowly sinking ship. No pictures!!!

This little hidden gem was a great find. My group wanted fried seafood, but zI wanted steam. We had the best of both worlds. I may have been a little greedy. But I had the Shack bucket for 2 all by myself. I don't think it was enough to share with 2 people. 2 crab clusters, some crawfish, steamed shrimp and mussels, some sausage and corn. It was a good lunchtime snack!

This was my first time here. My coworker comes here all the time and recommended it. She said she loves it because it taste like New Orleans. We went for lunch and it was nice that there wasn't a line or it wasn't busy. But there were a lot of people doing pick up orders. When you go inside it has a great calm vibe. It's great that it's a local place. It doesn't smell like old fish like some places do and they have music on. The tables and counters were clean. The gentleman that assisted us was very pleasant. There was even a customer that came in when we were there and apparently she comes in from ATHENS all the time! As far as the food, it was seasoned and cooked really well. The tartar sauce was good as well. I will definitely come back.

The food is delicious and fresh. Repeat customer.It is definitely in the top echelon of ATL restaurants for food quality.

This is one of the worst Poboys that I have ever had in my life. I had the crawfish, Poboy, and all you had was breading. You could see absolutely no meat with every bite. I don't normally review, but this was just that badExperience. I paid $22 for half of a crawfish sandwich and fries. Ridiculous.
