    Paid $103 plus 18% tip. Yes we tip.. But left hungry. The food was just okay, but the portions were awful and nowhere near worth the money. We ordered 1/2 lb of clams and only got 2 actual clams--the rest was just empty shells. We've been to many seafood boils, and this was easily the worst. Even $3 of ice cream felt like a rip-off. Save your money and go somewhere else. We won't be back.

    Super delicious and it never disappoints! We stopped by on Father's Day and had an amazing feast. The crab, shrimp, garlic noodles, and fries were all incredibly good. Sharing is caring, and there was definitely plenty of food for everyone. They also have some great beers, the service was excellent, and the restaurant was super clean. Everything came out fresh and flavorful, making it another memorable visit. This is easily my favorite seafood place, and I'll definitely keep coming back!

    ONE lb of Shrimp Boil (mid spicy) corn, potato, sausage n side steam rice YUM flay. Shirley Temple was perfect 4 dat kind of seafood kick.

    After going to several places, I can guarantee you that this is the best boiled you'll have for your buck! Honestly, the space is so welcoming, and the staff are some of them best! Shout out to Cherlene for making my first impression of this place the best to come to again with my friends! Not only was she's super helpful and informative with everything on the menu, but definitely knew what her favorites are ! Highly recommend this place for the atmosphere and amazing staff! Everything to feed two people plus leftovers with B almost $100 with drinks and lots of refills ! Will come again!

    cajun crack'n blows all the other seafood boil places out the water. they have $1.50 oysters mon - fri for happy hour and they're honestly SO good and so fresh. they're also big oysters as well. i took people who don't really like oysters but they loved these ones. despite the crawfish being frozen it's still super yum. they don't overcook the shrimp and the sausage is good too. i wish they would cook the garlic a BIT more since it's a little raw. the service is always great and it's a huge dining area that can accommodate large groups. my #1 seafood boil place in san jose/milpitas area!

    Empty on a Sunday, great for me so no wait. Highlights: Cajun Hot Wings - 10/10. Crispy on the outside, so juicy and steaming on the inside. Came in ALL FLATS. My big back was in heaven. For the flat lovers out there, these are some of the best fried wings you will taste. The seasoning wasn't too overpowering either. Not really any heat or spice but the crunch and moistness and flavor was there. Seafood Boil - 9/10 We got the Cajun seasoning. Solid flavor, it didn't feel too greasy. I didn't feel there was too much sauce on ours, everything was seasoned well. We split this between two people and it was enough, but this bag alone probably won't leave two people satiated. The price point was really decent for being able to get crab though, for $45 for crab and 2 other choices of seafood + the potato's, corn and sausage that's a great deal. Service-10/10 very friendly staff. Bathrooms - clean. Overall establishment was very clean, we got our waters and menu immediately when we sat down. The food was delicious and I'd definitely come back.

    Garlic noodles
    Red C.

    We ordered takeout from Cajun Crack'n and it continues to be a go-to for us. Their seafood boil is always flavorful and satisfying, and the garlic noodles are a must every time. We usually take it home so we can really enjoy it comfortably, eating with our hands and pairing it with some home-cooked rice. The rice soaks up all that saucy goodness, which honestly makes it even better. Consistently good food and perfect for a laid-back, hands-on meal at home.

    Fried Soft Shell Crab
    Tiffany S.

    My dad's favorite restaurant, he's convinced this is the best seafood boil in the bay. The interior feels like a ship with the wooden framing and jack sparrow statue welcoming you. Always a fun trip. The weekday lunch special is pretty good (I believe it's $12 for 1 lb of shrimp and a sausage corn and potato), but my dad loves crawfish so I don't often go for that. Crawfish prices depends on if it's fresh or frozen (fresh is more expensive). The spiciness of the house sauce depends on who is cooking it that day. My server this time told us that if you can handle 2x Buldak, you could handle spicy, but there's days that spicy is spicy spicy! Check with the server before ordering because your mileage may vary. The server was also really on top of getting us straws, wipes, napkins, gloves, etc. I'm a sucker for the deep fried and the soft shell crab and oysters here are great. I prefer the garlic fries (more flavorful) to the Cajun fries (more crunchy) personally. I need greens with every meal to lie to myself that I'm healthy so I ordered the salad. I like the veggies used but it's more sauce than I would like, I'd order sauce on the side next time!

    Clams , sausage, corn and potatoes
    Javi L.

    Tried Cajun Crack'n and overall it was a good experience. The seafood was fresh, and the seasoning had a great kick with just the right amount of spice. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was how thick the sauce was--it was a little heavier than I personally prefer. Aside from that, the flavors were really good, the portions were satisfying, and I'd definitely come back to give it another try.

    Great place to come for happy hour oysters. Oysters are usually $1.5 during happy hour but on Tuesday and Wednesdays they offer $1 house oysters (pacific oysters) and $2 Kumamoto oysters

    CJ H.

    Delicious seafood , especially the fresh shrimp and crab . Everything tastes amazing. A whole bag of seafood boil paired with corn and sausage goes perfectly together. The garlic noodles are also very tasty, though the garlic flavor is a bit too strong. Haha! Besides the fries and onion rings, I highly recommend their fried calamari. It has a great texture and isn't tough at all. Highly recommended, but try to avoid coming during peak hours because there will be a bit of a wait. 好吃的海鮮,尤其是新鮮的蝦子和螃蟹,味道好吃,一整袋子的手抓海鮮搭配玉米和香腸非常的對味,香蒜拌麵也非常的好吃,不過蒜頭味太重了。哈!另外除了薯條和洋蔥圈以外,我最推崇的是他們家的炸魷魚,非常有口感也不會硬。強烈推薦給各位,但是儘量別在飯點來,排隊會需要一點時間。

    Lobster roll as advertised
    Bogdan K.

    Just wanted to come on here to mention that overall, food was very good. However, I can't give this place 5 stars. We ordered 2 lobster rolls which looked nothing like what was pictured on the menu (see attached photos). I asked the waiter pointing to the picture on the menu if that was the lobster roll, and they said yes. The order we recieved was probably 1/3 of the size and did not have anywhere near the pieces or large chunks of lobster pictured on the menu. Through pictures already posted, I've found the picture of the advertised roll on the menu photo, and the real order you recieve. The menu photo appears to have around 6-8oz of lobster, whereas the real order appears to only have closer to 2-3oz. Dissapointing when the plate was placed in front of me to see the reality. Still, overall a good eatery, just would be nice if food was delivered as advertised on the photos, otherwise its just fake advertising.

    Combo #1 with Crawfish, shrimp, and baby octopus with medium spice House Special sauce
    John L.

    The seafood boil here is good but nothing stand out. Quality sauce and freshness of the seafood are all you need to have a good boil and the House Special sauce was slightly below average but the freshness of the seafood was fine. After all the glowing reviews I've heard about this place I did expect more, but overall I enjoyed my meal here. Pros - Good service and food came out quickly - Plenty of easy parking - Large restaurant, came on a Sunday afternoon and there was plenty of seats - Their happy hour deals look like a great deal Cons - I've had many different house special sauces in the area and this one lands slightly below middle of the pack. It was very one note and is pretty much what you would expect.

    Combo 3 with four pounds of seafood.

The meal came with a 4 oz NY steak, grilled shrimp skewer, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. The shrimp were nicely seasoned and cooked well, and the steak was still tender and flavorful. I ordered it medium rare and it came out a little more done than I expected--closer to medium--but it was still enjoyable and not dry. One of the biggest surprises here continues to be the complimentary sourdough bread. It's actually served fresh and hot from the oven. This time I had to wait a little because it was still baking, and my server let me know that upfront. It was worth waiting for: just the right amount of sourness, soft inside, with a thin, crisp crust instead of the overly thick, hard crust you get at a lot of restaurants. They also score the loaf before serving it, so it's very easy to pull apart. Honestly, one of the better complimentary breads I've had at a restaurant. I also tried the $9 Caramelized Pineapple Margarita. It was definitely on the sweet side, including the cinnamon rim, but it had a noticeable fresh pineapple aroma and was a fun drink for the price. What really pushed this visit to five stars, though, was the service recovery. My server had checked on me a couple of times earlier in the meal, and when I later mentioned that the steak was a little overcooked, she immediately went to get the manager. I wasn't asking for anything--I was just giving feedback. The manager came over personally, apologized, and asked if there was anything he could get me. When I couldn't think of anything, he suggested ice cream and brought me some. The steak being slightly overcooked was a small issue, but the way both the server and manager handled it was excellent. Good service isn't about everything being perfect; it's about how a restaurant responds when something isn't quite right, and they handled it exactly the way I would hope. Between the excellent value of the daily specials, genuinely good fresh-baked bread, good seafood, and attentive service, I'm very happy with this place. I'll definitely be back--next time I'm especially interested in trying their Sunday cioppino or coming during Social Hour.

After today's visit, though... I finally understand why the second location closed. Ordered: Shackie's Sauce (Hot) Shrimp & Mussels Combo Snow Crab Clusters Garlic Noodles Garlic Fries The seafood boil was nowhere near the quality it used to be. The corn tasted old, the shrimp and snow crab didn't taste fresh, and the snow crab clusters had barely any meat. By the time I cracked everything open, it felt like there was more shell than seafood. The mussel shells even had barnacles on them, which I've never seen here before. It made the seafood feel like it hadn't been cleaned as well as it should have. The garlic fries were crispy, but that's it. It was weird--I could see the garlic and was literally eating it, yet there was no garlic flavor. The garlic noodles used to be one of my favorite items because they were bold and packed with garlic. Now they've definitely toned the flavor down, and they're just not the same anymore. It's honestly disappointing because this place used to be one of my favorite seafood spots. The food quality has clearly declined while the prices have continued to go up. I hope they can get back to what made this place so good, but based on today's experience, I can't recommend it anymore.

We were also told we couldn't order or pay over the phone because of the cost, which was already a little frustrating. But the food was the real disappointment. The sauce was extremely watered down, to the point that the seasoning wouldn't even stick to the shrimp, crab, potatoes, or corn. The crab itself was flimsy and somehow tasted dry like it wasn't fresh, and several of the claws had little to no meat in them. Being a pescatarian, and I can honestly say I've never thrown away a pound of king crab until today. For what king crab costs, that says everything. We used to love this place, which is why this experience was especially disappointing.
