🫤 The wait was way to long. There was a lack of service and we had to wave them down every time we needed something. Their understaffed and look like they needed help. The only good thing about it was the food and the girl that clean the tables and took my debit card for me she was very helpful. To me... People often mention crab, good, time, shrimp, corn, sauce, seafood, potatoes, crawfish, asked,

The only good thing about it was the food and the girl that clean the tables and took my debit card for me she was very helpful. To me it is not worth the wait but that's just my opinion. I'd recommend calling in advance.

    They're Allsome sauce was good. Got it in extra spicy and it was perfect. Got another in lemon pepper, medium spicy and it was super salty. Wouldn't have been able to finish the lemon pepper bowl if weren't for the Allsome sauce. The shrimp were overcooked which made peeling the shell very hard. They only had frozen crawfish left which was still great. The corn, sausages and crabs were cooked perfectly. The Allsome sauce mixed with rice was bomb. Price wasn't bad overall. 3 stars for overcooked shrimps

    Garlic noodles was good but a little greasy for me. $7.99 The seafood boil with house special sauce was spicy and good! Ordered the seafood boil with corn and sausages, and half pound of the following l: crawfish, peeled shrimp, Manila clams. $28.5 Service is good.

    First time visitor with my family and friends. Got recommendations from other patrons eating as it wasn't too busy when we got there. Waitress was awesome and had recommendations as well and was very helpful and always asked if we needed anything. Got the cod and fries and garlic noodles cause I was craving fish and chips. Will definitely go back and try other dishes on the menu.

    I’ve ate the seafood here a couple of times now and have dined in 3 times already. The food is amazing, the allsome sauce is really delicious and goes perfectly with any of the seafood they offer. I tried snow crab here for the first time and I went through that pound of snow crab in a matter of minutes! Highly recommend! The staff were super friendly and check up on you every couple of minutes if you need help with anything. Even when it looked busy we still had someone come up to us and check up on us. I would recommend if you looking to take someone out at night or if you just want some bomb seafood to treat yourself.

    Stopped for lunch. Flavor was good service was decent. My problem was the food and how it was delivered. At all the other crab boils I've been to, the potatoes and corn are cooked with the meats. It started with the potatoes. Inside the bag was a large potato cut in halve. See pictures. I asked for silverware to be Annie to cut the potatoes, they said they had none. So I asked if I could get potatoes that I didn't need a knife and fork to eat. Then realized they didn't even put my corn in the bag. I asked for the corn, to which the obliged. There of course was no flavor of the meal, since the corn was not cooked with the meal. I am not sure I'll ever go to this place again. Hopefully Fresno has a better crab boil spot.

    I recommended to come here if you haven't try it yet because I came with my family for the first time we didn't know what to order so the waitress help us out to order our food. The waitress was very polite to us and always come and check on us to see if we need anything. When we got ours food it was excellent order us 3lb shrimp 1lb mussel 2lb crawfish with 4 pot 5 corn 10 piece sausage als med. I can't wait to come back here again and eat here.

    Sad I didn’t take a way better picture. The food was amazing! Boil is a hit or miss, definitely a hit, my mom & I’s first time here, will definitely make the hour drive again. it was a pregnancy craving of mine lol The price was less than I thought paid $49 for all the food in the picture, we got peel shrimp, corn on the cob, sausage & potatoes. Perfect for 2 🤤

    Food is great here if you can actually put in an order ahead via phone. No one answers the calls and you're stuck going in and waiting for your order after you place it in the restaurant. This review has nothing to do with the quality of food here which is great. This review is strictly them answering your call to place an order. I even witnessed ordering in the restaurant and the phone kept ringing yet no one bothered to answer. I hope the owner knows how much business he's potentially losing by having the employees not answer phone orders.

    An excellent taste of home! I can't fully explain how excited I am to have a New Orleans-style crawfish place in California. The restaurant was a little crowded, so we got takeout, but it was still delicious. Will be returning!

    Horrible food it was like if they gave me food they been having there for days the corn was dry and hard the potatoes looked old tasted bad and the shrimps were also bad worst food ever will not be buying from them

  • 3/5 Tonia F. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was excellent! Very tasty! We asked for plates so we didn't have to eat out of a bag. We asked for utensils and recieved plastic forks. We asked for shell crackers, but they didn't work for the soft shell crab. We asked for metal crab forks and were told they didn't have any, but were offered scissors and got metal crab forks with the scissors. But the good was really tasty!

    The weather outside was dreary, but inside was warm and friendly. My buddy & I wanted to try this eatery we only recently heard about. They have paper table covers, a roll of paper towels, and plastic bibs - you know it'll get a bit messy. Man what flavor! Good and spicy sauce on the crawfish, along with some boiled potatoes and flavorful sausage. Plenty of lemons provided, too! Throw in a brew and that's lunch!

    The food is overpriced and not very good. I placed my order and I waited for it. But it was around 20 mins and I asked the server where was our food? and they said sorry they had no fish. I ordered fish and chips. So I got a double order of fried shrimp. They cooked it to long it the shrimp was rubbery. Also we ordered clam chowder and it had no flavor. I doubt I'll go there again.

    So we stopped in around 3 on a Sunday. Stood to be seated for a good 10 minutes before even being acknowledged by staff. There were only two occupied tables. So we finally get seated. Ordered drinks. Ordered 2 sodas 4 potatoes, 2 lbs of cleaned shrimp, 1 lb Dungeness crab, 1 lb snow crab and 1 lb king crab. Bill was $186 something so over $200+ with tip. Service not great. Had to wait because no utensils Not only was it boiled alone and sauce thrown on top making it flavorless. The sauce we picked was garlic and butter. Let me tell you calling it a sauce is using the word loosely. It was basically a bunch or raw garlic. It was so bad me and my son's mouths were burning. I didn't even know that was possible. I told the waiter. He said yeah just looking at it it's not good and he checked and it was a new cook. So he confirmed it not offering anything and knowing because I told him were just taking it all home so I can make some kind of sauce and fix it. 🤔 I literally paid over 200 bucks to get our mouths burned and take the food home to fix what I just paid for. 😒 Honestly the most expensive worst experience I have ever had in my life. Ps the music was so loud the staff couldn't hear me and my son got trapped in their bathroom. I never do reviews but it was that bad.

    Yesterdayy son took me,it was our first time here. The food was excellent,the service as well. Constantly cleaning dining area, restroom clean. The staff was attentive and polite. It's the best customer service I have received in all Fresno. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Rick G. 2 years ago on Google
    They have a good thing going here. Taste, atmosphere is solid and service on point. They know their customers and cater to a diverse crowd. Our dinner was priced well for lobster and king crab legs with super soft shells. Loved it!

  • 5/5 Lenea M. 6 years ago on Google
    Great place. We were sat promptly on a Friday night. They made sure that we ordered within the parameters of our food allergies. I suggest bringing at least 4 people because the main seafood options are sold by the pound. And the garlic butter is heavenly if you really like garlic. We ordered 1 pound is snow crab legs, 1 pound of shrimp, corn, sweet potato fries and the fried fish appetizer. The sweet potatoes fries are good, and the fried fish was flaky and moist. All the food pictured came out to $53.
