Louisiana Crab Shack bound for former Twin Peaks site

A Vietnamese-American family is planning to bring a dash of Cajun spice and seafood to a building at Central Texas Marketplace where Twin Peaks and Scotty’s Brewhouse have come and gone.

The owners of Louisiana Crab Shack signed a 10-year lease Monday on the 7,000-square-foot building at 4671 S. Jack Kultgen Expressway and began placing temporary signs for the restaurant, set to open this summer.

“They didn’t waste any time,” said Clay Fuller, a Turner-Behringer Real Estate agent who closed the deal. He met with four members of the family ownership group and a kitchen supervisor Monday to tour the plastic-wrapped structure.

The Louisiana Crab Shack ownership group includes Victor Nguyen and Lap (Ryan) Duong, the family patriarch who emigrated to the United States from South Vietnam in 1979, and a few years later opened a seafood restaurant in Biloxi, Mississippi. The family relocated the restaurant’s headquarters to Austin, where it now operates two locations. The regional chain operates or plans to open locations in Plano, Houston, San Antonio, Cedar Park and Kyle.
