    On a warm Thursday evening, my partner and I thought about getting seafood boil. Immediately we thought of Cajun Crack'n. Once we arrived, we were seated and though it was busy, we got our order in and excitedly waited. We ended up getting the Fried Oyster Basket as well as Combo #2 (1.5 lb Lobster, 1lb Mussels,1lb Shrimp(Head On) in the House Special Medium). Once the boil came out, we tucked right in. The flavor of everything was great. It all hit the spot and though our server was super busy, she found time to check in. When I crave seafood boil again, I will definitely come back.

    We came in on a Saturday afternoon, no reservation but waitlisted via Yelp. When we got to the restaurant, they were able to seat us right away for our party of 5 + 1 infant. The restaurant has a very chill vibe, almost like we are in Disneyland's Jungle cruise as they also have a Johnny Depp look-a-like statue. Very casual seating and they also have a full bar. They serve really fresh seafood, generous portions at a reasonable price for bay area. No problem with parking at all. Our family of 6, we ordered the following: * 3 of The boiling - 1 lb of Shrimp(head on) in house special sauce mild, 1 lb of Deveined Shrimp (head off) in Garlic Butter (w. Seasoning) and Snow crab legs in house special sauce spicy * 12 pcs House Oyster * Fried Calamari *Lobster roll with sweet potato fries * Garlic Noodles * side of Steam rice - must have with the seafood boil :) * Drinks - coke, lemonade, Michelada, soju Food was really good, fresh and flavorful seafood boils, friendly and attentive staff. They have happy hour Monday - Friday from 3 - 6 pm. Offering $3 draft beer, $5 well drinks and $7 cocktails, $5 fried okra, gumbo, clam chowder, sweet potato fries, fried pickles and calamari + $1.50 house of oysters. Definitely a must try and definitely coming back for more. July 2026

    The ambiance is very nice - spacious and very Cajun-y. Food-wise, though, I would say it was mid at best. The Cajun flavor was pretty mild and didn't have as much depth or seasoning as I was expecting. I would say standout dish were the sweet potato fries but those are hard to mess up. Overall, a nice spot for the atmosphere, but the food itself didn't really stand out to me.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Wonderful service from Melanie, Brandon & Kane (TY) at der Seafood place of work..it's not by a harbor but when u crave da food, it's locally Der. There is a bar I have yet to come back to with peeps..out of the blue spirits let's try this cool place in Milpitas, CA which opened after the pandemic. Great to catch up with friends during a sports game and cool walls u can write on authorized with yo own colored marker. Must visit when in da area! Stay healthy n hydrate after too esp if u drink!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

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.

Unfortunately, today's experience was nowhere near what we remembered. We ordered a pound of king crab, snow crab & shrimp, and snow crab with Cajun fries -- definitely not a cheap order. 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.

We went in at 9 pm on a Friday night with a group of eight of us. Please note that the restaurant is tiny so it did take sometime while we waited for our table, but we did not wait too long. There was plenty of parking spots in the plaza and the restaurant was a little loud, but it was a small place for a bunch of people dining in on a late evening. The service was great. They were checking in whenever we were ready to order and answering all of our questions. Because our group was so large, we did have to squish into a small table, but it did not make the food any less delicious. They had a special where we could choose 4 pounds of any types of shrimp, mussels, crawfish, clam. This was a great deal, and I wish I knew to order more. Once we were finished with this 4 pounds... We ordered some more. I believe we ordered with the Louisiana sauce at medium and it was to die for. We also tried the sweet California, but I thought it was just OK. To be honest, it was a little bit too sweet for me, but everyone's taste differ. We also ordered the basil clams and they were also delicious but they did come pretty late into a meal. My friends that don't eat seafood, enjoyed the lamb chops, the chicken wings, the garlic noodles and some other dishes. All in all, I would definitely recommend coming here. It's a great spot to enjoy with friends and I am so grateful that it was open late night. I am already thinking about the next time I come to visit San Jose to eat some more.

The garlic noodles are very homey and uniquely Vietnamese. They remind me a lot of my mom's cooking. I don't recommend the crawfish right now because they were so small and overcooked. However the shrimp was plump and sweet, so I wish we got more of that instead. There were a bunch of empty shells in our bag because the actual mussels fell out. It's very crowded seating inside the restaurant. Parking is easy at night but during the day, the plaza is extremely crowded.
