“ I had a hankering for some Cajun food. Wahlah Louisiana crab shack popped to mind. Can you believe that they serve happy hour 4-6 PM Tues thru Sunday...lucked out! I ordered the gumbo, catfish nuggets and sweet potatoes waffle fries. The gumbo was like a work art...visually appealing and easy to consume. The rhue was thick like a gravy with chunks of sausage and okra. There were also finally chopped vegetables. Perfection!!! The catfish nuggets were lightly battered and flavored with Cajun spices. So good... The sweet potato fries were hard fried and cold. They were my least favorite. My waiter was super friendly and very accommodating. I will have to go back and try the crab boils. ”
“ The service is top notch Food is amazing Drinks are delicious I drive from San Marcos just to enjoy the authentic Cajun seafood!!!! Its a must try !!! ”
“ Nice location. They have added a margarita machine. My first in house since the pandemic. It was worth the visit. The music is on point too! ”
“ I am always looking for a good seafood boil and yes the flavor was there! We order build your own boil with 1/2 of shrimp, crab, sausage, corn, potatoes, and mussels and added 2 eggs to share which was more than enough. I like mine a little bit more spicy so they told me about the special sauce and it was nice and spicy what I needed! We also tried the boudin balls those were 10/10! We had some Happy Hour margaritas can never go wrong with that on a date night. We had two servers at first it took a while for us to order but then our servers were on it after that and made sure we set up and left happy! ”
“ Awesome customer service. The staff was very patient as my group ordered and attentive the entire visit. We had the hushpuppies, fried pickles, crawfish with sausage, and snow crab. The crawfish was frozen since it isn't crawfish season. I'd give the crawfish a 1.5 out of 5. The shell was so brittle as we tried to remove the tails and the texture of the tail meat was awful. As someone who has only had fresh crawfish prior to these, I can say with confidence that I never intend to eat frozen crawfish again. The sausage was not good. I'd give the sausage a 1 out of 5. The snow crab did a great job redeeming the my experience. The snow crab was large, meaty, and delicious. I had the garlic lovers and Cajun sauces on the snow crab. My primary complaint is that the sauce mixture was incredibly salty. The fried pickles and hushpuppies were pretty good! The seafood pricing is a bit on the high side, but this is a nice occasional treat. ”
“ Food always made fresh to order services, fast and friendly!! I come here at least twice a month!! ”
“ I don't know where to begin. The customer service was outstanding, and I'll definitely come back. The food was amazing, and so was the staff. ”
“ Was on the hunt for some Louisiana-style seafood and I stumbled upon Louisiana Crab Shack located on Anderson Ln. first off, I appreciate the ample parking, and the actual business was pretty spacious with a lot of seating. Right upon arrival, we were treated very kindly to a table. The hostess was extremely sweet and accommodating to us. We got seated and got our drinks really quickly. I ordered a corona beer and my boyfriend got a strawberry margarita. The strawberry margarita was on the rocks and definitely a little more on the sweet side. We ended up, ordering the fried oysters as an appetizer, which were all right. i am not a huge fan of oysters, but the sauce that came with it which tasted like a spicy mayo sauce, was really good. for our entrée, we ended up going with the shack combo number one which we paired with the crab legs, shrimp and side of potatoes, corn, and eggs. We got the house seasoning mix as well as extra butter. Everything was brought to the table really quickly, which was really nice. We ended up going with mild for our spice level, which I thought we could've probably gone up a little bit, but I was afraid that even mild was going to be too spicy but definitely not here. If you are sensitive to spice, I definitely recommend getting the mild since it is the perfect amount of flavor, but if you're not that bad with spice, go for something a little more spicier. The shrimp was a bit tough, but the flavor was delicious. The extra buttered really gave it a little more flavor and I like that their house blend has a little bit of everything. the corn was absolutely delicious and the egg was the main star here. It was about $100 for everything we ordered which was not bad for the amount of seafood we got and alcoholic drinks but I think next time I will definitely amp up on the spice levels and seasonings. The owners came up to our table and greeted us. They were super polite. The overall custom service at the restaurant was fabulous. I have never been to a restaurant where I've been taken care of so much like this before. The owners got to talk to us a little bit about how they started the business and it was such a nice little extra thing. ”
