Crawfish Shack & Oyster Bar

You would hope that a place with “crawfish shack” in its name would know its way around a mudbug, and we’re happy to report that this spot on Wells Branch Parkway delivers. The flavors here are pretty traditional, but the crawfish gets tossed in a heavy mix of housemade Cajun spices and butter at the end, adding a deep, rich depth to every bite. Crawfish Shack is built for this—the tables are covered in long sheets of white paper, with bibs and napkins at the ready. And with crawfish on the menu all year round, it’s not difficult to see why.
