We handle the entire spectacle, from the perfect boil timing to the dramatic final dump and complete cleanup, ensuring you and your crew spend every moment celebrating.

Clayton and his team at Rougarou Shuckers & Crawfish are a MUST for your next event! Quality, Service, Professionalism, Event Experience are all A+++++. We hired Rougarou for our firm open house party and the chargrilled oysters were the talk of the night! Absolutely delish and great way to show off to out of town guests. From the very start Clayton was super responsive and thought through all of the details to make sure we were ready to have a seamless event. Rougarou was super prompt and able to make small adjustments for our set up on the fly. His set up is easy to fit into any event layout and the service was smooth throughout the night. Extremely kind and easy to work with! Everything you'd be looking when hiring a caterer. Thanks y’all!!

We had them do a crawfish boil for my friends bachelorette in New Orleans and it was amazing. The crawfish was so good, super fresh and spicy just right. They set everything up and made it feel like a real local experience, way more fun then going out to eat. Def recommend if you want something different for a party.

Had these guys come out for my 30th bday and wow, best idea ever. Crawfish boil in the backyard with friends, cold beer, music going, it felt like the perfect New Orleans night. The crawfish was piled high and seasoned perfect, and they kept it rolling til everyone was stuffed. Honestly made the whole party — people still talking about it days later.
