Pirates Kitchen Artesia

Pirates Kitchen is a great spot for large groups—they definitely accommodate big parties comfortably. The food is tasty, offering classic crab boil dishes alongside a variety of options like pastas, wings, and tacos, so there’s something for everyone. One thing to note is that when it comes to splitting the bill, they only do it evenly by halves or thirds, which might be a bit tricky if your group wants more flexibility. Overall, a solid choice for good seafood and casual dining with friends or family.

This spot has become a staple when visiting the Long Beach-ish area. We do something like 3lbs shrimp, 2 lbs mussels, 1lb sausage, and a few pieces of corn and potato with allllll the sauces. This is just right for our group of 5. In the past we've done some of the preset menus, but imo the crawfish are not worth it. Max effort for min reward.
Love the flavors and atmosphere, will def be back.

I came home to visit from Wyoming. Seafood boils are impossible to find there!! The food, the service, cleanliness and atmosphere were on point! Our server Ben was amazing! When I come back home I am coming back here!

First visit here and absolutely loved it. The guys took good care of me and made sure I was satisfied with everything. All the food tasted amazing. The Cajun fries are some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend. Will most likely come back this weekend.

If you like seafood boil this is crack rock right here. They never miss not even once, I wish they would miss just once.

After so many popular TikTok videos, finally decided to give it a try.

Ordered the $20 2lbs deal of shrimp and received a loaded bag with decent sized shrimp. I ordered the “hot” level for flavor and it was decent, not too spicy but not too flavorful. 8/10

Also ordered the rose pasta which was a pretty big plate, with about 4-6 mussels. Overall was a good 7.5/10

Now the asada tacos, the rice, and the chicken strips were horrible. The tortilla and meat were quite literally soaked in oil and hard, the rice was also dry and stiff, and the chicken strips were not any better . 0/10

Total was appx $60. I guess you get what you pay for . Honestly would not go back

Tanya was the best server I’ve ever had in my life. She was full of energy and provided great recommendations. I really love this place because of the tacos! It’s a great deal and they are absolutely delicious. The seafood boil bags are whatever you want them to be. You could just get potatoes and sausage in a bag if you wanted to, or go all out and get crab legs, shrimp, lobster tail, and so much more.

It’s a great value for what you get and the flavors are immaculate. I’m grateful I found this place!!!

Shrimp and claim chowder is delicious.
Don't order the fish and chips.
This fish tastes weird.

Great experience for a birthday.
Stock with the seafood it's really their specialty. The mussels are huge and the crab was bomb.
The house sauce was so good but it's more spicy then you would think so be careful.

The best Louisiana style shrimp I've ever had...I highly recommend it.

Delicious!

The food is always great. The service here is great the cashier's are really fast and have the best customer service. The vibe is laid back. The cashier help navigate the spices too which is great
