The seafood boil is amazing. The squid and sausage was cooked perfectly! The server, Polly, and the owner were both really nice. Definitely give it a try!
Ordered 3 pounds of shrimp only got was 20 shrimp plus no seasoning all butter

I went on Tuesday but didn’t have time to write this review until now. I hadn’t been to this place in about a year, and after this, I probably won’t be back. I spent $130 and got two bites of sausage, two corn pieces, two clusters of struggle crab legs, about 20 clams with mostly empty shells (and no, they didn’t just fall to the bottom of the bag — I checked), and two pounds of mushy shrimp. The sauce was good, and the rice was fresh, but that’s about where the positives end. The experience was horrible and a complete disappointment. Every time I eat out, I’m reminded why I should’ve just cooked it myself. Overpriced and inedible overall.

Great customer service, the food is pretty good but unfortunately they have roaches😭 I was eating and one of them ran across the table. So gross, I won’t be going back

I live around the corner. And this used to be a good seafood place went there today and was disappointed. Spent $110 for what was clearly raised shrimp. Raised shrimp is not good tasting. And the portion they said was 3 lbs I know the difference it was not. Shame on this owner. I will never go back here. Me and my wife loved this place. Not what it used to be . So now we will find another place. Don’t waste your money on bad seafood here.

Great food! I enjoyed the decorations. The way the booths are set up is nice. The food is made to order so that takes a little bit longer but it's well worth it. The gumbo was good and I look forward to tasting the rest of the menu

Melody, the owner, arranged a table for our group of ten. Gumbo and other entrees all were good and the cook came out to talk with us toward the end.

First time here and it was amazing! I recommend the gumbo! So good, so fresh, so well prepared. Portions were great, and the shrimps were HUGE! Go with mild if you have low spice tolerance. It will still have a kick but in the best way.
I also had Thai tea and it was so cute! Had a teddy bear ice cube. And our table tried 3 the desserts, most liked the banana bread or flan, but if you like carrot, don't skip the carrot cake!
10/10 will come again!

Out of all the places I’ve been to, this is by far my favorite. Their food is very fresh and their sauce is to die for. I go there often and will continue to go there. The vibe is very different and chill and the service is amazing. For anyone who loves seafood boil as much as I do should definitely try this place, you will not be disappointed, trust me.

I've been coming here for years and all I have to say is the owners genuine care about the community, food is amazing and the ambiance is stellar. Eating here is usually quiet with 2 tables average and you feel like your on a captains ship sailing away eating the catch of the day =] <3 thank you for all you do in lakewood/long beach area Cajun Crab!!!

From the start the staff was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful with kiosk. The food could have been more flavorful, not enough sausages, or potatoes.Food was over all ok, a little disappointed not what I expected. I’d prefer it cooked in the oven. Food also too expensive for its taste.

I hadn't been there in a long time, and it was nice to revisit, however, food was a bit overpriced for the amount served and could've used more flavor.
