The Boiling Crab 

For a fast-casual dining experience, head to The Boiling Crab. It began in a small Texas town and now brings the "taste of a backyard crab fest" here to Dallas.  When ordering crawfish, choose a spice and a sauce like Rajun Cajun or lemon pepper. Round out your meal with sausage and corn on the cob. 

Shell Shack 

Found on Henderson Avenue, Shell Shack serves seafood of all shapes and sizes. In the kitchen, the chefs create the dishes from scratch.
