Crawfish shack in ATL

7.50 per pound.

Not bad especially being some of the only crawfish in four years.

The crawfish were smallish, and I think they were overcooked.

The shrimp po boy was pretty good and my wife said her soft shell crab po boy was good as well.

I think I would try the crawfish one more time, but if they were not better than this one time I would not go a 3rd time.

This the place on Buford Hwy?

I moved to Lawrenceville, just outside ATL a few months ago ... a native Louisianian who randomly befriended me at the local Publix suggested the place.

I couldn't tell you how they tasted, because when i showed up, they had a line out the door as if they were givin' out disaster food stamps in the joint ... for $7.50 a pound crawfish!!!

I left, went to one of them international farmers' markets, got 10 pounds of live LOUISIANA crawfish for $3.50 a pound, and boiled them bad boys on my back patio.

Also a good way to welcome myself to the neighborhood, let the neighbors know what time it is, and establish myself as the "Alpha Neighbor."

I promise they were better than the ones they were selling, cheaper, and i probably had them on the table in my back yard sooner than they woulda called my number waiting in that mob of a line.
