This use to be the spot to go to when they first opened and we frequented at least once a week. The servers were always super attentive, food was fresh, good flavors and consistent. After steadily going there for over a year, things quickly started to fall apart and the food just wasn't the same. The chicken basket was mediocre with small pieces over cooked, found egg shells in the fried rice and the smell of the shrimp in the fried rice threw us off. Yes we brought these matters to the attention of management, and even went back sporadically, hoping things would improve but unfortunately we were just met with more issues. The final straw for us was ordering vegetable fried rice, only to find bits of chicken in the rice. I do still give this place two stars fora couple reasons 1. Their lunch specials deals and prices are a win 2. Their seafood boils were good, especially at the lunch special price. Sadly we just can't continue going there any further due to constant issues with food, especially when you order a vegetable plate and meat is still given read more

First off, travelled all the way from Fresno to here cause of the recommendations for it decided to try it. Environment is good. Employees were nice. One thing would be the flavors. Ordered extra spicy but literally is not spicy at all. House special blend has a lot of garlic in it. read more

Here again for some spicy shrimp and crab. Ambience is very casual no need to dress up. Walked in and we were seated right away. Service was great and our server was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Great customer service provided by Cathy. Food was great, well seasoned and spice level was perfect for a tasty meal. A little too much salt on one of the bags but no worries, added to the other bag and asked for extra spicy cajun sauce and it was saved. Drinks selection was a hurricane, blue Hawaiian, and of course a Corona to compliment our shrimp. Will come again when I'm in the area. read more

Cajun Crack'n is a great spot for any occasion! The food is delicious but the service made our experience even better. Also you can't beat the prices! We ordered the shrimp boil, Cajun fries, Cajun fried rice with shrimp, and the Cajun chowder. The shrimp boil had great flavor and wasn't too spicy. I can't have much spice but the mild was great for me. The shrimps were a bit tedious to peel since they were not sliced/butterflied. The chowder had great flavor and although the portion appeared small initially it was filling. The Cajun fries were very flavorful a great side. The Cajun fried rice was also a great side and was not spicy at all! To drink we ordered the soju cocktail in mango and in lychee. Upon ordering we were expecting them to be standard individual sized drinks so imagine our surprise when they each came out in carafes! But for less than $20 you can't beat that price. The flavors were also delicious. The service was the best part of the experience. All of the workers were kind and friendly. Once our fried rice came out we realized it had sausage in it which we do not eat and the server graciously had it remade without the sausage. In the front of the restaurant they also give out free hair ties to tie up your hair while you eat which I thought was a really nice touch! read more

Was craving oysters and Yelped around for a HH deal while I had flexibility on a weekday. Oyster Specials (Tue-Wed 12-9pm) $1 ea Miyagi (Pacific) Oyster $2 ea Kumamoto Oyster Happy Hour (M-F 3-6pm) $5 ea: Fried Okra Gumbo Cajun Clam Chowder Sweet Potato Fries Fried Pickles Calamari $3 Draft Beer $5 Well Drinks $7 Select Cocktails * Gumbo Soup, Cajun Chowder, and House Salad also $5 during weekday lunch hours Mon-Fri 12-3pm. I'm not big on fried food so I stuck to raw oysters, mollusks/bivalves (which btw are considered some of the most sustainable seafood options out there) and of course, their Cajun chowder soup. The oysters and soup were a great deal! I came back 2 days in a row and ordered so much food that the General Manager came over to introduce himself lolol now that we know each other and I posted a happy review, you'd better not go jacking up the oyster deal pricing anytime soon! Otherwise I'll come back to haunt/tiger mom you. Bartenders Taylor and Jennifer were lovely! Great service, will bring friends back with me so we can eat even more together. So glad I found this spot! read more

My kids and I ventured out of the city to do some Christmas shopping and worked up quite an appetite. We decided to check out nearby restaurants and were thrilled to find a seafood boil spot close by--we love a good seafood boil! We ordered Combo 2 and added extra shrimp and potatoes, and everything was absolutely delicious. On top of the amazing food, our servers were incredibly sweet and welcoming. We will definitely be making the 50-minute commute just to eat here again. read more

Cajun Crack'n in Milpitas did not disappoint. I ordered the combo/special that came with shrimp, clams, mussels, sausage, potatoes, and corn, and everything was seasoned perfectly. The seafood was fresh, the shrimp were plump, and the sauce had a great Cajun kick without being overpowering. Portions were solid and definitely worth the price. Service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was lively and fun perfect for a casual seafood boil spot. I'll for sure be coming back when I'm craving Cajun seafood. read more

Cajun Crack'n in Milpitas is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving seafood! I always order the one-pound shrimp with mixed house sauce and potatoes, and it never disappoints. The shrimp is perfectly cooked, the potatoes soak up all that flavorful sauce, and the mixed house blend is so rich and satisfying--it's honestly the highlight of the meal. I like how you can write on the walls on the inside, and staff is accommodating. The portions are generous and always fill me up, making it the perfect spot to satisfy my seafood cravings. Whether I'm dining in or taking it to-go, the food is consistently delicious. If you're a seafood lover, Cajun Crack'n is a must-visit read more

Very good all around. Service is amazingly quick, even when busy. The whole family has a blast making a mess and will definitely be back.

The lobster roll was 19.00 and was tiny with only a few teaspoons of lobster crumbs! Two bites worth. I don't recommend it. The other food looks great though. Ill be back to give it a try. read more

Don't come for the lunch special and not tip at least 50 percent. They're not making money on the meal, I promise. It's a time for the servers to make up their wages. Happy hour, sames. Shrimp are GIANT. Head on, it's a better deal and tastier! Oysters are crazy sweet and large (rare as heaven). Do come for dinner if you have company. PS - friendly, professional service. read more

Cajun Crack'n Milpitas is my new favorite seafood spot! Located in the McCarthy Ranch Shopping Center, this casual eatery offers plenty of parking and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We were greeted by friendly hostesses and seated right away. Service was consistently attentive and friendly throughout our meal. Cajun Crack'n specializes in Cajun seafood boils and fried baskets, and also features a full bar with cocktails, beer, and wine. The interior is spacious and well-lit, with plenty of seating -- perfect for groups, casual dinners, or oyster get-togethers. We ordered a combination of crawfish, mussels, and head-on shrimp, along with Crab Sliders, Cajun Fried Rice and Garlic Noodles on the side. The shrimp was fresh, plump, and perfectly cooked -- juicy and flavorful in every bite. We opted for fresh crawfish (an extra $4 -- totally worth it!) instead of frozen, and they were absolutely delicious. The crawfish varied in size but were all tasty and succulent. The mussels were sweet, tender, and slightly chewy -- perfect for soaking up that incredible house sauce. The house special sauce -- garlicky, buttery, and spicy -- tied everything together beautifully. We chose medium spice, which delivered great flavor without being too hot. Based on other reviews, this seems to be one of their better locations, and I can definitely see why. I'll be back soon! read more

A very nice and solid place to get some Cajun shrimp and seafood! It's located in McCarthy ranch which is wonderful because that means you never have to stress about parking - there's ample space. In the last year, we went about 3-4 times and we never had to wait - there was always a table available. The servers are courteous and quick, and the food is nicely fresh. Only one time did we have an issue with over cooked shrimp! I mostly only ever get shrimp here but my hubs has tried the catfish basket and fries and has enjoyed it. My mom also got some crab once - I don't recommend getting that because it gets a tad bit over cooked and the meat on the crab shrinks down really small. Other than that, great flavors, fun ambiance, and a very hands on experience!! read more

This place is an absolute blast! seafood themed restaurant, neatly organized combos for selection. We went with the 3lb combo and got 2lb of shrimp and a pound of clams with house cajun sauce. Yum!!!! I would probably do 3lbs of head on shrimp next time since I didn't enjoy the clams too much, but man what a meal that was! Service was awesome too! Definitely looking forward to coming here again! read more

Idk why this spot has so many good reviews. The seasoning or sauce is just so bland and needs salt. Way too overpriced. The only good thing about it are the servers because they're very attentive and the restaurant itself looks nice but the food is not it! I don't ever leave reviews on yelp but I was so excited to try it because of all the good reviews and was disappointed. Idk if there is a bag o crab in San Jose but that's way better! read more

For our end of year work lunch, a giant group of us went to Cajun Crack'n in Milpitas. The service was great and they worked hard to make sure our large group was taken care of. I was really impressed. They have a lot of great options on their menu, but I decided to go with the fried soft shell crab basket with fries and I also ordered their wings. Soft shell crab was good and I loved the crispness of the fry. The Cajun fries were awesome! Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and tasty on the inside. I just wish they would have given a little bit more of the sauce that came along with the basket. That was very good. You know people are going to ask for more, so just give them a bigger container so they can dunk their food in. The wings were good and I enjoyed the Cajun seasoning on them. My co-worker got the Lobster roll and it is very small. It could fit in the palm of her hand. So be warned on that before you spend $20 on it. read more

Went here for dinner, tried their cajun style shrimp. The quantity was good, however, I felt the cajun spices were not that really great. I have tried the cajun spice before as well, but the taste was bit different. read more

The sauce on my seafood boil was delicious. I got their house sauce mouth, but I wish I would've gotten medium because Maud was not spicy at all. The seafood tasted fresh. there was a lot of seating and the weight wasn't long although they were busy. Table service was slow. I never received a refill on my water and I found myself waiting more than 20 minutes just to get my check. I would recommend not going on a weekend or definitely not a Friday night. The ambience was what you would expect for this type of restaurant. They had a huge bar, which was nice. The place gets loud. overall, I rate my experience a three out of five. read more

We went during happy hour, so we ordered a lb of shrimp heads off and also got an order of king crab with their house sauce medium. It was flavorful and well cooked! Our server (male) was very attentive and chill. Food came out quick and we didn't need have to ask for anything because it was all brought out before or with the food. Very spacious for big parties, but not so pack during happy hour. read more

Great customer service. Food was delicious 10/10 every time I visited this restaurant

coming from a professional big back! did not like it. heads up! i am spoiled from east coast blue crab because no bay area crab ever tastes as good now. it is hard to find good crab houses around this area but this place is supposed to be one of the best...oh well i'd like to be gracious since we don't live by a river (unlike east coast folks) so i am giving 3 stars. crab was okay, i felt like they skimped on meat. garlic noodles was way too oily and i felt like it was missing something (guys i'm not a chef so idk what it was). sauce was okay too, could've been spicier and more flavorful. all the waitresses were super nice and pretty (do not come for me i am a straight woman)! usually at crab houses i eat a lot cause it is good but honestly i did not feel hungry while coming here. i will be forgiving because this is the bay area! not maryland... read more

I was able to check out the new Cajun Crack'n Milpitas during a recent Yelp Elite event. It was interesting and cool to see how this place has transformed from the old, dark, and dingy atmosphere (at the former Black Angus), to a bright, airy, and open concept floor plan at Cajun Crack'n Milpitas. Now onto the food, I took this order to go versus dining in since it was a ton of food that I could share with friends while I was visiting in town. I ordered the Cajun curly fries for the appetizer, 2lbs. of shrimp which comes with corn and sausage, and it's all tossed in with your choice of sauce for the main entree. As for the drink, I chose a Shirley Temple and I also ordered garlic noodles. All of the food was really good! There was a ton of meat in the shrimp, the house sauce it was tossed in had a good flavor and the garlic noodles were garlicky with a touch of saltiness from the Parmesan cheese. I personally didn't get a chance to try the Shirley Temple so I don't have an opinion on the drink. The reason for the docked star is the garlic noodles were a small portion for what I paid, and the house sauce felt a little skimpy since it seemed like there wasn't enough sauce to cover all of the shrimp. As for the service, the gal taking my phone order was super nice and helpful! And by the time I got there to pickup my order, it was ready to go and still hot by the time I ate it. All in all, I would definitely come back to try this place out in-person to really get the full experience and to try out other food of course! read more

Food & Drinks were amazing! We did go on Mothers Day and there were 38 groups waiting before us so it was a long wait but I added myself to the queue on yelp so I didn't have to wait at the restaurant. It did take sober an hour to get there and we still had to wait about another 45 minutes but not bad for how busy they were. The flavor here is on point! One of the best Cajun places I've been to. The Cajun fried rice came out at the end of our meal so we didn't really get to eat it but it was good my only complaint was the portion is so small for the price. It feeds one person. Other than that it was a good experience. Would definitely come back again. read more

Tasty food and great service! I visited with a friend on a Monday evening at 6:30 PM, and we were seated right away with no wait. We both ordered 1 pound of head-on shrimp with the combo sauce, which was delicious and reasonably priced; the shrimp were very big! We also tried the garlic noodles, which were rich and buttery with a perfect number of garlic, as well as the Cajun fries, which were crispy and perfectly seasoned. The fried pickles were another highlight, with a light, crisp batter that complemented the tangy flavor of the pickles. They had Monday Night Football on the TV, which added to the lively atmosphere. The restaurant has a typical seafood boil setup with wooden interiors and a few nets hung around for décor. I would definitely come back! read more

This was my first time getting Cajun seafood boil and it was delicious here. I would come here again, it was very good. The food took a while to come out, even on a slow day, but it was alright because the servers were kind and food was awesome. read more

This place is the real deal - been wanting to try it but was deterred on my last visit by a 45+ min wait. Tried again on another random Saturday for an early dinner with some friends and I was super glad we did. The food was pretty good. The garlic noodle was tasty and the basket boil was a great deal for fresh seafood. Fresh water crab was loaded and the shrimps were all very fresh. It definitely gotten busier towards end of our meal so if you don't want to wait, come before 6pm. read more

Cajun crack'n was pretty cool. Our server Stephanie was really helpful and nice. It was pretty busy when we got there, about 7:45 on a Saturday. Peak time, so we expected to wait. The sauce was pretty standard to the other shrimp boil places around. Our oyster appetizer was fresh, but it was kinda odd that it came out after our bags were already brought to the table. The fried orders came out quickly after ordering. I tried the fried okra, which was ok. I didn't love them or hate them. They weren't slimy at all, in case anyone is wondering. There were some fried up stalky fiber parts that weren't edible and I wasn't a fan of the dipping sauce it came with. I got combo 1 w/ house special sauce, medium spice. The shrimp was mushy, and that was the talk of the table. I wouldn't if I'd order shrimp from here again based on that. The mussels and clams were good. Our oysters were fresh. A friend of mine got a crab and he liked it. Pretty standard shrimp boil place. I liked the Jack Sparrow statues in the front. They have tanks you can see the crabs in. Big space to accommodate a lot of people and decent size waiting area. read more

Overall this place has great quality food. I ordered the king crab($79.99 MP per lb). My wife and friend order the combo and we all shared clams. Everything was really fresh and great quality. This is where they can improve: 1. The server (Giselle) was either spread too thin or forgot about us. After our meal came out we needed her twice for drink refills and gloves. We ended up getting an assistant to help us but even then we were finished with our food before the drink refills came out. 2. The house sauce taste really really good but it was way too salty. We were informed by Giselle that we can order it less salty next time. I will definitely be coming back hoping the service is a bit better and order less salty sauce. read more

Happy Hour 3-6 includes $1.50 oysters. We came in around 5pm on Fri and just beat the after work crowd. Food was delicious but took a while to- 30 min before our seafood boil came. It's a casual spot with bar and large TVs. They provide bibs and gloves. Price is also good. We got several items to go and they were decent. Definitely worth coming back. read more

I had a huge craving for seafood boil, and Cajun Crack'n hit the spot! I enjoyed the huge spacious place, over the top decor, and delicious food. We got the special deal #1 that came with head on shrimp, snow crab legs, and all the sides (corn, potato, sausage, and eggs). We asked for extra lemons and they give salt/pepper. - The shrimps were amazing. Super big, juicy, and well cooked. 1/2 lb came out to 5 shrimp. - The corn didn't taste fresh, like it was the texture of corn that was pre-frozen. - The eggs were not overboiled! Potatoes were also amazing. - The snowcrab legs were just okay, 1 cluster only had 4 legs. Service was prompt and sweet! Overall a great experience. read more

First time here, with my family it was great! Immediately sat the 6 of us, the staff was friendly and prompt. The first thing I'd like to acknowledge is the prices on the menu: REASONABLE! (especially with large parties) in terms of what they serve, I ordered the shrimp basket, for 13 bucks the portions were just right! The fried shrimp was well breaded, crisp and flaky. Its like a cross between Popeye's and long John silvers if they had a baby, lol. They have assorted po' boy sandwiches, seasonal seafood selections like crab, muscles, lobster n' shrimp. We also recommend the gumbo and fried catfish! When visiting a restaurant for the first time, that first impression when u walk through the door makes or breaks a return visit... the good news is: WE WILL BE BACK! read more
