Crazy Alan's Swamp Shack

Seafood, Steak

The story began long, long ago on a bright and sunny afternoon in Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin (the big swamp next to N'awlins.) Boudreaux and Thibodeaux were busy setting trotlines and crab traps; preparing, as they normally did, for an evening of catchin' crabs, catfish, giggin' frogs, trampin' flounder and huntin' alligators. Suddenly, the wind started howling, water started rising and the sky turned black! Obviously, one heck of a tempest was a brewin' (Hurricane Katrina) and before the cousins could escape to higher ground, the levee broke and washed the two fellas out to sea where they drifted to Houston, Texas. After three days of floundering in Buffalo Bayou, the boys hit dry land and you can bet they were hungry! Since they've been spotted all over Houston, Galveston and the Clear Lake area looking for their kinsmen and Crazy Alan's Swamp Shack. Craving seafood like they get back home, Boudreaux and Thibodeaux are really looking forward to finding Crazy Alan's Swamp Shack because they hear it specializes in boiled fresh Gulf crawfish, shrimp, crab and lobster; additionally offering both raw and baked oysters, jumbo fried shrimp, cajun gumbo and red beans and rice. The Cajun cousins have also developed quite a thirst due to all the saltwater, so a few ice cold beers to help wash everything down can't hurt.

The boiled crawfish were advertised on Swamp Shack's website as 4.99/lb, (5 lbs. min.), however when we ordered 6 lbs., outr waiter informed us that it would be 5.99 per pins due to it being a holiday (Good Friday). Our waiter then had to get the manager' to intervene, who insisted that it would be 5.99 per pound. I then showed him on my smart phone that swamp shack was advertising $4.99/lb (with no disclaimer of "except for holidays") and he ended up honoring my adimenticity. In the mean time, I'm thinking "seriously???????, pick your freakin battles did......$6 or customer service/re-future visits???? I did however end up tipping our awesome waiter 22% (not including the $10 restaurant.com discount). Man....restauramt managers these days!!!!

The fried fish, shrimp, fries, and salad were delicious! The gumbo was no where close to what a true Cajun , (as myself) who lives in Louisiana in the heart of Cajun Country, would even begin to call Gumbo! Please do not call that Gumbo! Except for the gumbo, the food was definitely worth the visit.

The food was great and the service was excellent.It may sound dumb, but the only thing we complained about was how fast the food came out. We ordered an appetizer and a couple of the meals came with a salad. Before we could even try any of the appetizer or get half way through the salad they already had the main course out. By time we was able to finish our salads and eat some of the appetizer our food was already getting cold.
