This North Texas crawfish boil restaurant is opening a new location

Are you sad crawfish season is over? Now you can have a crawfish boil year-round at Shell Shack.

Another Shell Shack location is launching in Arlington soon, with a crawfish boil deal.

Shell Shack is a Dallas-founded restaurant known for its seafood boils featuring crab, shrimp, lobster or crawfish with the classic corn, potatoes and sausage poured across the table. They also serve gumbo, fried catfish and cocktails in a casual atmosphere.

There is a location in the Fort Worth Alliance area, as well as others in Arlington, Dallas, Mesquite and Plano. The newest Arlington restaurant will open at 4000 Five Points Boulevard in the Arlington Parks Mall.

When will Shell Shack in Arlington open?

The newest Arlington Shell Shack will open on Monday, April 27 at 11 a.m.

Until May 3, guests can enjoy crawfish boils for $3 off, at $7 per pound. Boils come in Cajun, garlic, lemon pepper, or the fan-favorite “Kitchen Sink,” finished with a choice of heat from mild to extra spicy.

For those who aren’t a fan of seafood, Shell Shack also serves burgers, wings and po’boys.

Shell Shack operates a full bar with two happy hours per day – 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 10 p.m. to close.

There are also daily specials like a Wednesday catfish special for $12.99 or 20 percent off any boil on Sundays.
