Honestly, Sam is the best. My family is so much energy to deal with! Sam met that energy and surpassed it. Every joke, he threw back a better one. Service was amazing, and you could see the hard work he put in, running around and taking care of everyone. You can tell he loves what he does and he makes the experience here. Great food and great service!

We normally always order from here because it's close by to our house but this time the food was horrible. Ordered it to go so we had no choice and take an L. Shrimp had no flavor definitely over cooked. Food wasn't seasoned and crawfish had this weird after taste I could have sworn it was bad already kinda disappointed since it was ordered for my birthday.

Hung and Thomas are the best servers ever! Every time I come, they greet my party with a smile! They are always attentive and friendly! The food is always amazing! The Rockefeller oysters are probably my favorite, but that Cave Sauce is honestly one of the best seafood boil sauces I've ever tried! They have patio seating as well if you want to enjoy the street view, but the inside is where I typically sit because it's cozier for me. Definitely try this place out if you're ever around Fullerton!

Not the best shrimp, crawfish or flavor. Service also wasn't great. You can definitely tell they are short staffed. Our waitress was rude and rolled her eyes over simple questions. Rating more than one star for the hard working guys clearing tables and bringing out the crawfish with excellent attitudes!

As a born and raised New Englander this place has one of the top 5 clam chowders I’ve had in my lifetime. Incredibly delicious.Had the Cajun Garlic lobster pot as well and was very pleased. Great service, fun spot.

Came here a few weeks ago for my niece's birthday around 5:30 PM on a Saturday. We had a party of 21 people. It wasn't very busy but did pick up later on. The restaurant was very clean and spacious. Workers were very nice. My hubby and I ordered the deluxe bucket special - cave style medium spice which includes 1 lb king crab, 1 lb snow crab, 1 lb shrimp (I got head on), 4 pc andouille sausage, 2 pc corn and potatoes. For our kiddos, fish and chips and chicken tenders with fries. The food came out pretty quickly. We really enjoyed our food. The seafood was fresh and the flavor was on point! Their calamari was really good too. I think my only complaint regarding the food was the rice. It was a little mushy which isn't my preference but maybe others like it that way. Also, their restroom needs a facelift AND a baby changing table.
Great place for a crawfish broil! Friendly service, and affordable. They have plenty of tvs which was great so I could watch my Laker game easily. Will come again!

I've been here before but never left a review. Today was such a great experience that I could not let myself forget to review it. The cook brought out our bucket and along with the waitress, they checked on us frequent, but not overbearing like other places. What really stood out to me this time was the cook seeing my son's water bottle empty and offered to fill it for us! Not every place is as genuine and welcoming to kids because they can be noisy, but this interaction really touched me. He did not have to do that and I'm sure he had other things to do, but still took the time to do that for us was amazing. We will definitely be back! I really liked how my son's chicken nuggets and fries were served first and I think they knew that children are usually the hungriest first and that made our lunch much more enjoyable. Thank you for the wonderful staff!

Came in to have oyster on happy hour on Thursday at 5pm, told us to come back on Friday because there is no oysters. Went on Friday and the same waitress tells us "the owner told her not to sell oyster" pretty much on happy hour. Bad business ethics, wasted our time!

Garlic noodles are so good spicy & not spicy. You can add meat too which is amazing. Great lunch spot right near downtown which is great for a night out with friends. Definitely planning on coming back here soon.

Always a family favorite, we normally order garlics noodles with shrimp(spicy and not) and then everything from the cave bucket to the deluxe bucket. We always have a good experience.
