Service was super fast. Food was really good! I had the #1 combo, with bottom of the bayou sauce, the spiciest, but it really wasn't all that spicy. However, I can tolerate the heat of a habanero pepper, so I'm probably not the best judge for that. This family owned established did not disappoint. Definitely worth every penny

Been here twice this month. Both times the service was friendly and attentive. Ordered the shrimp basket and hush puppies. Food arrived piping hot and the staff checked on us multiple times to make sure we were good. We will definitely be back.

Just went with my family to eat and this lady told us that she was gonna clean a table for us and it was 8:40 and for her to come back and tell us that her manager said the kitchen was gonna close in 3 min so I don't understand why keep open till 9pm??

I have been bragging to my son about how good the catfish tastes. I have been telling him that the catfish basket has 3 large pieces of catfish that has more catfish than the 5 piece catfish he orders at another restaurant. Then tonight I went there for dinner and ordered the 3 piece catfish basket and they gave me a basket with only 2 1/2 pieces of catfish. I was so disappointed. I'm just glad my son wasn't there to see it after I have been bragging about the catfish basket. I'll try it again in 6 months.

Just ate here and the food did not disappoint. Garlic seasoned crawfish were so good, and our children (5 & 8) enjoyed them as well. The fire seasoned crawfish were equally good. The catfish nuggets and calamari were perfect to start, and the Cajun rice was amazing. Service was quick and friendly. Lots of flavor options and spice levels to cater to your taste. There are lots of foods for the non-crawfish fans. Must try. You get bibs, gloves and wet naps... go enjoy without leaving messy.

Relocated to Hutto from Downtown ATX and was searching a good spot for dinner. Immediately crazed seafood even drive past Louisiana Crab Shack. Since eating solo decided to phone in the order from the parking lot. Call was immediately picked up by a polite lady that gave wonderful recommendations since it was my first time dining. Decided on a Build a Boil that included 1/2lb each shrimp (no head). Sausage, snow crab and dungeonous crab will Bayou Mild seasoning. Upon arrival I later learned a Build a Boil did not come with potatoes and corn so I added a order of each (3 potatoes for $3 and one corn for $2). Everything was A.MAZ.ING! No really. After reading the reviews I was on the fence but was really happy with my food. Everything was pipping hot, well seasoned (I probably could have went up in heat to Medium) fresh and PLENTIFUL. Shrimp was large and crisp, both crab was sweet and the sausage...OMG the sausage. Sooooo good...not the basic type but true Louisiana sausage with flavor and bite!! There was enough for 3 people. Aside from having to wait 10 minutes over the quoted time (the poor lady was the ONLY person working the floor juggling 7+ tables and call in orders) and the price, I was very happy with my experience and will definitely be back!!

So, after hearing some good feedback from a couple of friends, decided to try this location off of Hwy 79 in Round Rock. Suffice to say it was a horrible decision on my part. Once seated and order placed for a party of (4) with our young waitress, not exactly what happened but after waiting literally 25 min for our appetizer of calamari, asked the waitress for status and she went & checked and came back stating "well, the kitchen is kinda busy but it will be out soon." At the 35 minute mark, finally received our appetizer. Smallest calamari I've ever seen and it was a bit overfried. At the 45 minute mark, received our entrees (all fried shrimp & catfish selections). Catfish was scarcely seasoned and definitely not "cajun" or Louisiana flavored at all. Oh, did I mention my wife & I ordered an additional side of Corn on the Cobb and it clearly was not fresh and I could not finish it. Unfortunately, this was likely one of the worst Louisiana restaurants I've been to in a long, long time and will never return.

I really wanted to like this place as I am from Louisiana and this place is close to my house. Today ordered $60 worth of fish and shrimp for the family. The fish was soooo salty, nobody could eat it. My family was so hungry we tried to remove the bread and just eat the meat. It did not help much. I decided to drive back to the store to tell them (I never had to do that before in 30 years of eating out). I talked to the waitress, the same person who took my order. She said she could cook up a new order and tell the kitchen no salt. When I got home, guess what? Yes, was just as salty as the first batch. How should could not have know that the bread was pre-salted is mind boggling. Such a waste of time. Extremely disappointed.

So glad this place is open! Delicious Cajun classics and excellent customer service! The staff was super friendly and the food came out quickly. The soft shell crab po'boy was amazing and plenty of food to feed two people at lunchtime. I will definitely be back soon and can't wait to try more!

This is our first time here and the wait staff was so nice! Super attentive and helpful! I feel like all the bad reviews are just from entitled white people. The food was delicious! We'll definitely be coming back! Thank you!

I ordered the shrimp poor boy for lunch and it did not disappoint! A little pricey, but very good! The waitress was very friendly and helpful.

The King Crab was outstanding and the wait staff and manager was very polite and pleasant. It was again outstanding. I am glad I visited. PS...the wait staff walks very fast and very attentive to my need.

My wife loves the king crab boil bag, and I like the catfish here. I stop here when I feel like we deserve a good rewarding meal. Food is good and it hits the spot when craving seafood. I hate seeing small businesses owners get bad reviews for "service" when people go places wanting extra attention. It's the reason why I took the time to type this review. They are nice, fast, and efficient and that's all you could ask for. Will go back!

Do waste your money at this location as the food is not worth the money. We got two calamari baskets, one shrimp quesadilla and one chicken quesadilla and for the money we paid the quality was poor. They tortillas were not even toasted. There was more tortilla than cheese and chicken/shrimp. They calamari baskets lack the calamari and they forgot the jalapeño ranch. I would not recommend this location to any family or friends. The young lady at the front was a delight but this venue needs better quality food.

My boyfriend and I came here at least once a week, Laura is super friendly and personable. Not only do we come here for the food but for the wonderful service we get while being there. The staff here goes the extra mile to make sure we are comfortable and attended to. The Crawfish I get is always hot, large and delicious(: the Po'boy my boyfriend gets and always how he likes it There's probably no other place we'd want to get of seafood from
