The crawfish had great flavor, lots of chili and dry spices in the house seasoning. The spicy is REALLY spicy, we ordered the next 3 pounds in medium to tone it down. Average size and a little on the pricier side of what you can get around Houston. We had snow crab legs too that were also good and properly cooked.

When we first started going to LA Crawfish Shack the customer service was great, food was delicious and customer service was grand. Mike was AWESOME. Now it seems like they are no longer aiming to please the customers. I wanted to have a party there this Friday with 20+ people. $$$ right?! Well the lady I spoke to (of Asian descent) stated that she would not...WOULD NOT...set up tables until all the party was there. I stated that I knew that but since it is a surprise, it would be great to set up at least 20mins prior. She got rude and started over-talking me and I hung up. We normally eat there 2-3 times in the week...but NOW...GOODBYE!

The food was not seasoned and it tasted very bad, on top of that they wanted me to pay for food I didn't eat. I think they should stand on the quality of the taste of their food when its not good to the customers they should take a loss on it and honor their customers. I never eat there again.

They didn't have the Cajun grilled lobster when I went back for it and didn't have the crab legs on a prior visit. The waiter didn't add my corn until I asked him about it..the waiter didn't give me a pen to sign my check..I had to ask another waiter

I Wasn't a fan of their crawfish nor the sauce. It was thick and had an aftertaste. Tbh, it was an asian twist to the original creole taste of crawfish.The environment was nice but customer service was lacking. Lots of parking.

Great service from hostess and the manager on duty today. My table was giving them a really hard time, but they kept their cool and acted super professionally. I respect them for that and I appreciated them. I dont know the name of the young lady with the red shirt that had a pony tail and the manager. But, I just wanted to thank them because they did an incredible job. Food was also good and hot. If I wasn't just visiting down here. This place would be my 1# go to. 👍👍

The service was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. My mother found a NAIL(Screw) in her Gumbo! When we needed anything, our server acted as though he didn't see nor hear us several times and he never came to check to see if we needed anything. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL AND I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN!

Food is average/ok but they nickel and dime the hell out of you. Charge for gloves when you order boiled seafood, charge for lemons on water and boiled seafood.... all kinds of other charges that would be free at any other crawfish joint. Frozen crawfish is 6.99 today while fresh is 8.99. Everywhere else in the city love crawfish is 5.99 right now. Will not be back!!! When I figure out how to post a photo I’ll add it!

The service was pretty fast, the stuff is always keeping tables and floor clean, the tables are ready for you, my waitress was super friendly. I really enjoyed the bread with herbs and cheese, the lunch special I got had to option of salad or hummus, so hummus made a great combination. Substituting the rice was a great idea, so try that. Chicken was very juicy and tasty.

The food tastes great. We all got fried fish and shrimp. However, the bathrooms were soooooo dirty. We went in there to wash our hands before eating and it turned me off from eating there. Guys, please take time to at least wipe down the bathroom doors, stalls, soap dispenser and paper towel dispenser. They were so dusty and had streaks of stuff on there. If my friend had not convinced me that the food was so good, I would have left. Other than that, food was good. Waitress was okay.
