In 2010, LA Crawfish Shack established its first store on Gessner and Harwin. After a slow start, news got out that Houston had a hot new crawfish spot, and our popular flavor was quickly recognized f…
Love this place! My favorite spot to get crawfish during the season. The house sauce is the best. I would just ask that the restaurant remove "extras" from being required and make it optional instead. Having to add butter as a requirement and pay for something I dont need is unfair.

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience with LA Crawfish Shack. Just two days prior, I doordashed 3 lbs of crawfish, turkey nevks pota,and, saisage& shrimp & had some of the best crawfish I’ve had in a long time—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. That’s why I decided to order again. However, this time, the crawfish I received was either old or frozen. It was mushy, falling apart, and full of water. The taste was completely off, making it inedible.
To make matters worse, I also ordered turkey necks again, and they were completely missing from my order. I spent $100 expecting the same quality as my previous visit, only to be incredibly disappointed.
I called the restaurant to let them know what happened, not even asking for a refund—just bringing the issue to their attention. Instead of addressing my concerns, the woman on the phone dismissively told me, “Well, no one else has complained.” I was flabbergasted. As a frequent customer, I should be able to provide feedback without being dismissed.
I truly hope management takes this seriously because consistency and customer service matter. Unfortunately, after this experience, I’m hesitant to return.

My food was completely over cooked I am very much disappointed and normally I give good reviews but I'm sorry my shrimp was very tough, the corn was flat and hard the potatoes were unusually small as well I won't order here especially the price that I paid for the food

The food is piping hot & seasoned to perfection!
I feel like I just cheated on the other seafood restaurants that I have frequented. The gumbo taste authenticly made, the grilled chicken was juicy and well-flavored.
The only thing I hated is that the menu pictures (4) boudain balls; however, only 2 were delivered. They were delicious...I need more!

I would've added photos, but it smelled so good we didn't have time and dug in. EVERYTHING was still hot. Crawfish (Fresh)Snow Crab Legs were so freaking delicious... the house flavor was a good spicy. Shrimp Fried Rice was good as well great side for the entré. will definitely order again.
