From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were at home with family. Uncle Darrow greets everyone like you belong there, he remembers you, makes you feel seen, and creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that you instantly relax. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with love. I highly, highly recommend this restaurant if you want great food and an experience that feels like community. We loved it so much, we're already planning to come back next month to celebrate my birthday there!

They serve seafood boil, deep fried calamari, a few filipino dishes and southern sides. We ordered combo #1 which came with potatoes, corn, sausages and 3 pounds of your choice of seafood: clam, mussels, shrimp or crawfish. We got the crawfish, shrimp and clams. I'll use 3 works to describe the quality of the seafood: FRESH, DELICIOUS, and MEATY. To summarize, the quality is amazing and the price is worth it. If you're not dining it, order it to go! They serve it on a foil pan so it's easy to transport and even reheat in the oven. The sauce is delicious, the spice isn't spicy at all (but my tolerance is pretty up there), and their service is amazing. I highly recommend trying this place, especially if you're looking for a spot that has fresh, big crawfish. None of the crawfish we got was tiny. Happy eating! psssst... there's a parking lot :D

Our server was so sweet and welcoming. She walked us through the options and made recommendations based on our party. For a party of 3, we ordered one pound of shrimp, one pound of snow crab, and half pound of clams. The staff recommended mixing their sauces and it definitely hit the spot. The seafood was fresh and meaty and the garlicky, spicy sauce kicked the flavor up a notch. We also ordered a side of fries to share and the dip it came with was amazing as well. The price is very reasonable! It was definitely bang for your buck. They have happy hours that span a good chunk of the day so definitely take advantage of that. Will definitely be back to support a local small business.

Now, one year later, the tables are full and the waitlist is even longer. Thankfully, we joined the waitlist 1.5 hours before eating and ran some errands before being called. This is the normal experience The Boiling Crab, and a well earned experience at that. The food continues to be stellar and consistent with the locations in the OC. The shrimp, oysters, clams, fries with crab meat has made our tummies full and content. The whole shebang is the way to go. The staff themselves is aplenty. This place, like all locations are not short on staff. As a result, the service is quick and efficient. Combined with a Cajun seafood atmosphere and sports games on every television, Boiling Crab continues to be the solid seafood place I have enjoyed all these years.

The sauce in the bag felt a bit... watered down like it went for a swim before meeting the seafood. For a party of four, we ordered: SHRIMP LOVER COMBO, LOBSTER ROLL, SIDE OF RICE, BASKET OF SEASONED FRIES, AND MAD DOG XXX SAUCE on the side. Portion-wise, we left comfortably full and only slightly questioning our life choices. The Shrimp Lover Combo can't be modified. We chose Stinkin' Special and Spicy, which came with a plastic glove so you can dig in like a civilized gremlin. The Stinkin' Special was a generous blasts of Old Bay and enough garlic to ward off vampires. The Mad Dog sauce wasn't shock-your-soul spicy, but it definitely lingered. I was still feeling its friendly burn hours later and well into the evening. The LOBSTER ROLLL was tasty but fleeting. It's one of those dishes that makes you realize the meal is almost over right when you're hitting peak satisfaction. A little emotional damage there. We wrapped it all up with deep-fried Oreos and ice cream, which was an instant win. Sweet, cooling relief after all that heat. Tip: Sign up to their text newsletter at the restaurant and enjoy a free basket of fries. BTW, their website is down. :(

Grabbed some beignets to go, but kicking myself for not getting the peach cobbler one last time. But will miss the southern hospitality, generosity the owners Lisa & Steve have given to the community. Not just in sponsorships but in their parking lot parties which always showcased great local bands and putting on one hell of a free show for the customers! Their food was always the best this side of the Mississippi and their hospitality the same! Can't wait to see their rebranding and have the same comfort flavors of home!

A Bittersweet Farewell to a South Bay Icon! I've been coming here (well first in Hermosa then…read moretheir food truck now here) for their entire 31+ years! I couldn't let Ragin' Cajun Cafe close its current chapter without one last visit for that authentic Louisiana soul food. This place has been such a staple in Redondo Beach and South Bay and while I'm sad to see the "Cafe" era end, I'm also excited for what's next - it's sure to be a hit! What I had to say goodbye one last time!? * Seafood Bisque: This was incredibly rich and velvety, as always. You can tell they don't ever skimp on the seafood--it was packed with flavor and the perfect way to start the meal. * Hush Puppies: Golden, crispy, and exactly what a hush puppy should be. They have that slightly sweet cornmeal interior that pairs so well with their savory dishes. Always worth adding! * Combo Jambalaya Plate: A massive portion and pure comfort. The spices were spot on--bold but not overwhelming--and every bite was loaded with meat and perfectly cooked rice. My goto comfort... The Next Chapter: For anyone worried about losing these flavors: don't panic! While Ragin' Cajun is closing, the owner and chef are reopening very soon in the same spot as Redondo Beach Grill. It's the same team and the same talent, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they evolve the menu while keeping that local heart alive. Their email to followers says they will keep a few menu items as well (doesn't say which ones!?) Thank you to the entire crew for years of amazing meals and hospitality. These flavors WILL be missed!! See you at the new, well, same spot (new name and decor!?)
