Service sucks at this place took forever to get our food the waiter was more busy drinking wine and socializing than making sure my food was out and then they forgot my daughter order on top of that . the Cajun fried rice was hard not fresh and the sauce for the boil was super watery with no flavor ! Overpriced for nothing definitely won’t be coming back .

Decent crab boil spot. The prices are decent here but could get expensive if you are looking to eat crab or something other than shrimp and crawfish.The sauce is decent. I am used to the thicker sauce at other places. This is more oily.The garlic noodles and wings were good.The seafood was really fresh. The crawfish were all fresh and not shriveled up/bad. The shrimp was not over cooked. The food all comes out in a bowl and you can share that.It was quiet inside but there are tons of tvs around to watch games. Service was good. The servers kept checking on us.

I remember it tasting better years ago. The garlic butter oysters was just ok, the other with sautéed onions had more flavor. Crawdad size was decent and the shrimp head as well. Food came out piping hot but I think it'll take me awhile until I return again.

This is one of those place you never tried because nobody else was.... Then you finally try it and now you're mad you didn't try it sooner. Everything was good AF. The service was friendly and fast. She remembered a huge order without writing anything down and didn't miss nothing. Everything was flavorful and fresh.

Experience was lovely from service to well cooked tasty food. Fair portions will still fill you up. Crab is seasonal. Small location inside. Small selective wine and spirits drink menu. Limited hours. Check online for hours of operation. Plenty of parking. Good location.

My fave Cajun spot in Stockton, we come here at least once every 2 weeks. Food is always good and service is always quick. It's a mom/pop restaurant, the wife memorizes all the orders and always gets the order right. I love how their sauce blend for their boil isn't chunky and it's actually spicy! The Cajun fries are super crunchy and fresh. The buffalo wings are always good and the calamari was tasty as well! I ordered the lychee drink and let's just say they weren't shy with the alcohol!! Overall great spot for dinner!!
