The Shack — Restaurant in Stephenville

I was so bummed to get my crawfish order this year, I went opening weekend (yes it’s a late review bc I was craving it again & looked at the reviews & saw none for this year) & I got 4 lbs -one bag was 2lb but the other was only 1lb. I brought it home to eat and feed my family so I said oh well, let’s eat! We were very disappointed with the crawfish, very small, unseasoned, & they were so dirty, full of mud still, overcooked, the shells would just break at the slightest touch, so you’re picking shells off in tiny pieces (NOT fun when trying to peel them for my 3 & 4 yo) the corn, ALWAYS a hit. No complaints there, but can you really mess that up? The potatoes, Very hard & tastes like they came STRAIGHT from the dirt, like they did not get washed. Needless to say, I am sad to have had this experience, because last year, it was pretty good (besides the price for tiny crawfish) & it’s the only place here in town that has crawfish (that I know of). Would love to try next year, but I’d have to walk around and look at everyone else’s...

shakin my a$$ for some craw daddies.. just kidding. the mudbugs here can be spiccyyyy so BYOB AND DONT FORGET friendly staff. Just take note, its not like these people get a Ben E Keith order of crawdads weekly (which would be sketchy on BEK side) they GO GET IT from LA for us! THAT is a community service and we thank you! I got off the plane from a months training and went strait here opening day this year. worth. it. thank you. I love you.

they're also sharing establishment with a delicious sandwich shop/creamery so if yall eat out with a picky one there's...

Great food great ppl great atmosphere. We have been going here for several years. The owner always says hi and greets everyone. Staff is kind and attentive checking on customers, cleaning tables, and making sure everyone has all they need. The food is fresh tastes great and has tons of flavor. They also offer lots of extra options. Love when they do love music right out front off the square....
