Crazy Alan's Swamp Shack

Best catfish I’ve ever had. Strong drinks. Kids enjoyed their crab and smash burgers. Wonderful waitress who was especially helpful. Generous servings and wonderful staff and atmosphere!

Came here for a date night and it did not disappoint! They had a live band and some interestingly named cocktails with ice cream that were very good! We ordered the fried calamari for an appetizer. It had a very light Cajun kick and was good. We ordered the fried catfish and shrimp special and a grilled platter. The shrimp, fried and grilled were good. The grilled red fish, hush puppies, French fries and onion rings were also good. The actual cat fish itself was a little mushy, but it was freshly fried. My husband got the fried okra, he said it was good. We got the garlic potatoes and they were so freaking delicious. We will be going back, definitely want to try more food and have some more drinks!

Perfect for a good seafood boil. Staff assisted us well and gave amazing recommendations. The snow crab legs were delicious thing. Oysters were good too. Experience was enjoyable.

My fiance and I loved the food and drinks here. We were celebrating a getting our marriage license and it was magnificent.

Stopped in at Crazy Alan’s Swamp Shack in Kemah and left full, happy, and impressed. I had the gumbo along with fried shrimp and catfish — all of it hit the mark. The gumbo was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice and that deep, slow-cooked roux taste you hope for. The fried shrimp and catfish were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside — perfectly seasoned and cooked right. You can tell they don’t cut corners in the kitchen. Service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere fits the name — lively, local, and full of personality. If you’re craving Gulf Coast seafood done right, this is the spot. I’ll be back.
