Been here once before maybe a year or two ago and since this was still during pandemic, we were only able to order take out. That time, we ordered some fish n chips with a side of garlic bread. It must've been the way it was packaged but it was soggy by the time we got to eat it. Garlic bread was good and edible but the fish and chips weren't so great.We went here last night after not being here for a while and it was pretty busy when we got there. We went there to celebrate my aunt's bday and waited about 20 minutes which wasn't so bad. They have a bell by their entrance to ring if the food/experience was great. Heard it maybe 10 times throughout the night!I'm not huge into these types of places but my aunt is. She loves the crab legs so I decided to go for it this time. They had a bunch of stuff that they were out of. Not sure how often they run out of stuff but it was only 6pm when we went to eat. We ordered some baskets and pounds of mixed and crab legs. My bf wanted the white fish but they were out of it and settled for the shrimp basket. It was tiny compared to some of the other places we've been to. Only 4 pieces of shrimp and loaded with fries, might as well call it a fry basket with some shrimp. It was good regardless, just a bit lacking.They were also out of Pacifico and then we asked for Corona instead which they ended up being out of as well. Settled for Stella but they ended up bringing us Corona anyway? Weird but drinkable. Food came out quick, service was great. The young lady and man (maybe the owner) were very sweet and apologetic for all the missing items and wait time. I got the butter garlic snow crab legs to try and I remember why I dislike it so much. It's super messy and a lot of work for barely anything. These crab legs barely had anything in them and when you get a piece, it comes apart so easily that you can't really dip it into the butter as a whole because it'll just break apart. I recommend a spoon.In the end we wanted to get a california cheesecake for her birthday but they ended up being out of that too! We ordered a New York strawberry one instead along with a tiramisu. They stopped the music in the restaurant and played the birthday song while singing happy birthday on top of that when they brought out the cake slices to her. Cute! Very extra but a nice gesture. We rang the bell on the way out, she definitely enjoyed it. Not my thing but everything else was very good. We took the rest of the butter garlic and lemon pepper sauces home to use. Not going to waste! IG: @ammysalamii

This place is outstanding. Ever had your meal in a plastic bag wearing gloves and a bib? Well you do here and the Cajun Shrimp is to die for. We ordered Cajun Shrimp with Corn on the Cob and potatoes at the "Very Hot" sauce and it was totally amazingly good. Girlfriend ordered the Lime Medium hot and it was OUTSTANDING! We even saved some to take home for later. The prices are a bit high but it's worth it.

Came here because my mom craved Dungeness crab for her birthday. She didn't want to drive all the way to Redondo so she decided to give this place a try. The price for crab is per lb which we knew, but they didn't have a pound only 2lbs+, costing $84.99. Pass. She settled on the soft shell crab and we ordered Cajun shrimp, chicken tenders, fish and chips and fried shrimp baskets. When the food arrived we noticed right away that their deep fry cooking oil was old because all the fried items came out a dark brown. Fried items should appear light golden brown. (My mom owned a restaurant for 15 years, so we would know). The Cajun shrimp was good, but Boiling Crab's is better. The chicken tender and fried shrimp was ok. The fish and chips didn't taste good. The batter was just awful. Could only eat one piece. The worse was the soft shell crab. It was inedible. It was soggy, extremely salty and the juices tasted like salt water. My mom proceeded to order something else, but was told everything is salty. At this point she is pissed and can't believe everything on their large menu to be salty. She ended up with a corn on the cob, not even a full size, ON HER BIRTHDAY. Sad! They did remove the soft shell crab dish, but it still cost $89 for 4 dishes + the cob and drinks and it wasn't even good. You honestly can get better food from California Fish Grill for half the price with leftovers. We gave this place a try and it was definitely a miss.

The staff was unfriendly, and the food was overall pretty disappointing considering the price. The batter on the fish was overly thick, resulting in a chewy consistency. The chicken tenders were under-seasoned and specific pieces were extremely tough. Not the worst place in the world, but your money would definitely be better spent elsewhere.

Very overpriced, the king crab legs were apparently from a baby king crab and were very disappointing since the so called "market price" was what we expected to be the larger king crab legs.. , the corn, sausage and potato were good. Good service but it's going to be a one and done restaurant for us

DO NOT GO HERE! I REPEAT DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY HERE!! 1. I ordered crab cakes with fries .. the order arrived and something about the crab cakes tasted off! The waitress approached my table and I told her what's inside the crab cakes it was IMITATION CRAB! 2. I asked if I can get a replacement and have the soft shell crab with fries .. the order arrived!! The inside of the soft shell was cold, an orange substance was inside and they kept the fries from my last order which meant the fries were cold 3. The waitress felt so bad for me that she asked the chef to remake my food and they said no! I asked to speak to the manager and they were not there! 4. I still had to pay!!! The waitress even said she would be mad too!! The food lacks seasoning, it's overpriced and the manager is hardly there according to the staff You are better off going to Ralph's and getting a pound of snow crabs and making it yourself

Horrible customer service. Asked for extra lemons and the waiter couldn't hear me so I politely asked if he could take off his AirPods to hear me better then he gets the lemons and threw them at me. Never coming here again. No level of decency whatsoever.

I ordered the seafood boil, with king crab legs, two potatoes and two pieces of corn, the sauce was delicious, seasoned to perfection...fast service, pleasant wait staff, delicious food.

It was our first time and I have to say we will absolutely be back. The waiter was very friendly and the food was delicious!!! We will probably make a weekly visit now that we found this place.
