The Bayou Shack

So glad we found this place. We just happened to be driving by and saw it on Google maps and the pics looked good. Looks like its locally owned, it is a small place but they also have a patio. Prices are amazing and the sides are just a few dollars. Bonding balls are big and more mushy than I like. Catfish n shrimp is good, but the Cajun rice is OK. The boil we got had crayfish with classic seasoning and it does have a bit of a bite to it. The boiled eggs were excellent too. And liked that we got a little extra of everything. Ordered just 2 eggs, we got 4! Only wish the butter containers were a bit bigger or they put less so it doesn't spill over. You do get a bit and a set of gloves, which I definitely recommend using. Service was great. My hubby drinks lots of tea n it was almost always

GOOD CRAWFISH!! So flavorful and yummm My bf and I were there last weekend for the crawfish and we had a blast. The crawfish only is $15/lb, and if you get the shack bag with 2lb of crawfish and half pound of sausage (2 corns and 3 potatoes goes with it) then it's $40. We ordered these 2 so we could share the corns and potatoes and each still got 2 crawfish. I would recommend bottom of the bayou for the sauce because we love it. Definitely recommend this place!

Seafood boil is always fresh, super flavorful, and honestly one of the best in the Austin area. I love their sauce, the seasoning is always on point. If you want a tangy, spicy seafood boil, this is definitely the place to go. I just wish they would go back to adding more sauce in the bags. The last couple of times, the amount of sauce wasn’t the same as it was during the summer. Maybe there’s a new chef? I always ask for extra sauce, but it still isn’t as thick and usually feels watered down.

Great Cajun food. I highly recommend. Love seeing the owner in there hustling to give great customer service. It feels very cozy inside and they nailed the flavors. Had Shrimp, Crab legs, sausage and Gumbo.... All of it hit 10/10. Will come back when I travel back to Texas.

I ordered the Shrimp Po’Boy which came with fries $15. The shrimp was plenty and flavorful, bread was toasty on the outside (like I like it) and the fries were good and crispy. I look forward to trying more on the menu.
