Monday Morning's with Ashley - Creole and Seafood Shack

Auburn, AL - February 15, 2010
One of my favorite things to do when visiting new areas is to find ‘hole in the wall’ places to eat. These type restaurants usually serve excellent food with even better service. If you are like me and new to Auburn or visiting, I have the place for you… Creole and Seafood Shack. The ‘Shack’ is located right off Shug Jordan Parkway close to the Richland Road intersection.
When driving around Shug Jordan Parkway look for the Creole Shack!
A few years ago a segment on ESPN Saturday night football helped bring a great amount of exposure to the restaurant. Todd Blackledge hosts a segment called Todd’s Taste of the Town and he visited the Creole Shack. For many it was their first experience hearing about this great place. Now, you can hardly drive by at lunch or dinner and not see the parking lot full.
From the name you probably know their specialty, seafood with a Creole/Cajun flare. If you enjoy this style food you will find so many items on the menu that you would enjoy. If you have a hard time deciding what to try, I will offer you my suggestions.
This is not a full menu but gives you an idea of some other items that I did not mention.
To start, you must try the seafood gumbo. It is perfect mixture of spice and seafood topped off with rice. It is an excellent way to begin your meal. My favorite entree' is the Seafood Jambalaya! It has the perfect amount of Creole sauce with rice. Also it is full of spicy sausage and shrimp. The added bonus to this meal is that is comes with a side of fried green tomatoes. It is a winner every time!
Whether you take my suggestion on the meal or not you must take my next piece of advice…try the strawberry lemonade. It is freshly made every day and is an excellent refreshing drink. Just a warning, don’t drink it up too fast because you only get one refill.
The Creole and Seafood Shack is big on flavor but small in size. You must plan to get to lunch or dinner early to get a table. There are only about eight tables inside and four or five outside. Another option is carry out. Just call in to 334-501-6003 to place your order today, you will not be disappointed!
Today is Ella's Second Birthday! Happy Birthday to her!! We had her party in the snow storm on Friday. The above picture is at Chick-fil-a with snow coming down in the back ground. She had a blast with her Minnie cake and friends on the play ground. After the party we went home and played in the snow. The picture below is Ella making a snow angel. For more pics from her party and the snow storm, visiting my Facebook page. The link is at the bottom of the page.
