Seafood Restaurants in Monticello

“One of my fav restaurants here in Monticello is The Crawfish Shack. There is not one thing I would change as far as the menu, service, & atmosphere. The main reason I love TCS is the owners. This past Sat Amanda was an answer to my prayer that I could cancel the order for the $70 10 lbs crawfish special i had placed earlier in the week b/c I didn’t get paid. She was so kind & understanding. I can’t wait to visit their new restaurant in Lake Village asap. In closing, grade earned is an A+, gold star, smiley face.“

“A solid, honest place that fits its town well.
The atmosphere is simple, which is exactly what you expect — and what works — for a town of this size. No pretension, just a comfortable local restaurant.
I had a steak and fried calamari as an appetizer. The steak was very well prepared, with clearly good-quality meat. I ordered it rare, and it came closer to medium-rare, but that didn’t hurt the experience at all. The flavor was excellent, and I genuinely enjoyed it. The presentation was outstanding — far better than I expected.

The fried calamari was also very good: well balanced seasoning, light batter, and perfectly fried. Not greasy, not overdone — just right.
Service was fast, and it was obvious the food was cooked to order, not pre-prepared and reheated, which I really appreciated.
This is not a Michelin-level restaurant, and it doesn’t try to be. But for what it is, it’s very good, and I would definitely recommend it.“
