From humble beginnings

Crawfish Shack, Crawfish Hut at the time, first opened in 2004, though the vision had formed many years earlier. Dan Meaux had dreamed of opening a restaurant and when he married his wife, Jennifer, he was ready to make this dream a reality with his partner by his side. When Dan first brought up the idea of leaving his stable job to begin this journey, Jen had  thought her husband had gone crazy! But through thick and thin she was ready to make this dream work. And thus, Crawfish Shack was born and first opened as drive-thru only on the corner of FM 2100 and Highway 90 in Houston, TX.

Growing pains, and hungry bellies

As Crawfish Shack began to grow, so did the amount of happy customers! Hungry bellies continued lining up for Crawfish Shack's addicting seasoned crawfish and seafood, growing in number every day. After many requests, they set out a few tables in front of their restaurant. Not only was it the delicious one-of-a-kind seasoning that drew people in, but the tremendous attention to detail Dan and Jen put into every aspect of their work. With each bite you could feel the love they had for each other and the great community of Crosby!

Expanding the Crawfish Shack dream

By 2008, The Crawfish Shack had grown to be so busy and prosperous that a larger location was necessary to accommodate the influx of happy customers. Thus, the new location was founded at 5822 FM 2100, Crosby, TX 77532. But of course they didn't stop there! The tables available grew to be maxed out, so another expansion was necessary! Crawfish Shack added an extension to the right side of their building to accommodate many more tables and loyal customers.
