Next time you’re looking for a casual and flavorful seafood meal, consider stopping at Crawfish Shack and Oyster Bar.  This neighborhood restaurant offers simple cajun dishes like catfish po’boys, hushpuppies, and live crawfish cooked to order. The prices are reasonable and portions are generous.  Many regulars always start their meal with the Crawfish Shack’s homemade gumbo, others swear by the crab legs.  Their seasoning is on the mild side, so if you are looking to give your tastebuds a big kick, order your meal spicy.  The decor is fun and casual, and with quick service, the Crawfish Shack makes a great lunch spot!  They also offer take out, if you’d rather make a buttery mess of yourself at home. Their menu is almost entirely seafood, but definitely fresh. There is free wifi and several TVs to catch the game.
