2026 review! For years and years this space is so consistent in their hospitality as well as their food. Our family was a large group but Emily here was so kind and accommodating as well as the kitchen crew down to the bar crew checking in on us with every piece of service. We were taken care of here and checked on to the fullest degree. The crew here is unforgettable every year and I always think that they train their employees to be the best with each new batch of folks. I hope they keep it up because it's always a joy to be here from whether or not it's happy hour with a friend or a large group of 7+. read more

I want to give them a fat ZERO! I called to make a large party reservation all day today 2/19/26 and nobody answers the phone. It's very disappointing if you can't even get through to someone. read more

Cajun Crack'n - No one is in the restaurant and the service was beyond slow !! - Seafood Near Me - Milpitas, California

Been coming here since a few years now. Food is good, I would say food is A-/A. Service is good, plesant, friendly staff. It has been understaffed at times with the pandemic, etc. I think it was two if not three Mother's Day agos where it took a really long time to get food. I would give this a go. Really like their Japanese raw oysters. - If I recall correctly, it didn't seem like they've had non-frozen crawfish for awhile so I hadn't opted for it a little bit. - My personal tip for any Cajun boil place - go one spice level down if doing clams or mussels. read more

this was soooooo good. i wholeheartedly believe that this is the best seafood boil spot in the bay area. the sauce was delicious and perfectly coated the mussles and shrimp. the garlic noodles were garlicky and hit the spot. the shrimp poboy was really good too. the bread was delicious. perfectly toasted and had the perfect amount of butter. i definitely recommend this spot and will be back! read more

Food was great, everything came out super fast. Clams were big and juicy! Service was fine, it was a busy night but still good

Short wait under 10 mins on a Sunday evening. Plenty of parking in lot. Service was great, food was served quickly, restaurant is pretty spacious with lots of seating. My party of 4 shared the Special 2 (chose Dungeness crab, 1 lb clams, added extra corn), 2 pounds of shrimp, fried okra, garlic noodles, Cajun curly fries, and house oysters. We chose the house special sauce with medium heat level which wasn't that spicy. Everything was delicious, no complaints! Especially liked the shrimp, Cajun curly fries, and house oysters. Definitely a solid spot for seafood boil and it's a huge plus that there's plenty of seating and doesn't feel overcrowded. read more

I have never been so excited to try a place only to be disappointed. The food was not good at all. I had the fish basked, oyster basket, lemon pepper wings, and fried okra. I'm not sure about the boils I didn't try it. Not sure if I want to but yet curious if that's why they have a high rating. The okra tastes like it was cooked in Castro oil, it didn't have any seasoning it taste like it was thrown in flour then fired in old grease. The fish was old it was wash to mushy and wasn't white it was like a pinkish brown color. I cook fish enough to know that it was old fish. It made me hesitate to eat the oysters which tasted worse than the okra same batter the chicken was seasoned well but old meat as well the fries were decent. I threw it all away. I took pictures right before throwing it away that's why it looks all together. read more

Another solid seafood boil option in Milpitas. The restaurant has plenty of seating, making it ideal for large groups like ours. We were seated right away, even on a weekend, which was a nice surprise. I tried both the New Orleans Cajun and the House Special sauce, and I preferred the latter for its richer flavor. The shrimp were generous in size--about nine per pound--and the clams were fresh and juicy. The standout dish, however, was the garlic noodles, which were just as good as those at Claw Shack. The only downside was the service, which felt a bit inattentive. For example, we asked for butter early on but didn't receive it until the end of the meal. That said, the food itself was strong enough that I'd come back again. read more

I visited this place based on all the great reviews and high praise for this restaurant so I had to try it! I wasn't feeling the whole seafood boil thing since I was dining alone do ordered the catfish basket since I'm originally from the South and one pound of shrimp. The shrimp was good and I went with the house flavoring. It had a good flavor but a little more garlicky than I would have liked. Should have gone with lemon Pepper. That shrimp though was good. The basked on the other hand was not at good. The breading for the fish tasted like older or like overcooked and you can see in the picture and determine for yourself usually fried catfish is usually a little lighter in color and lightly breaded. The service was awesome as I was welcomed in but then the servers got busy with bigger parties and then get as good as service toward the end of the meal. Not sure I would eat here again. If you're a party of more then 2 and looking for a seafood boil then probably a good option. Ambiance was nice and welcoming. read more

My daughter came home for vacation and she's craving for Cajun seafood. Most of the seafood places that my kids know are in SJ. My daughter wanted to try this new place Cajun Crack'n in Milpitas. It's replaced the Black Angus restaurant that we used to go while the kids were little. How time flies and now it's a seafood restaurant. It was a Monday after 6PM, we didn't have to wait inline. The restaurant is clean and decorated with 2 pirates as soon as we walked in the door. The kids missed their Black Angus but get used to the new environment now. The young servers were quite pleasant and attentive. A simple 1 laminated sheet of menu with quite a few dishes on it. I noticed right away the catfish basket, I love deep fried catfish since I've been in Alabama and tried it. So I knew what I wanted, the catfish and the Gumbo Soup that I like. I don't care much for the messy Cajun seafood that my wife and daughter are going to get. There are 2 combos, and they decided to get the big one, combo 2 for $90. My son wanted the chicken Cajun Fried Rice to be safe and will try some of the messy Cajun seafood. The garlic fries seemed to be tasty so we ordered one basket. For my fries that come with the basket, my daughter wanted to try the lemon pepper fries so I ordered that for her. - Catfish basket and Gumbo Soup (with rice): For me this combo is perfect for a dinner. The price is reasonable. The catfish fried perfectly, crispy outside and juicy inside, the fries are great, a little sour for me but I had the garlic fries were wonderful. The Gumbo Soup is amazingly tasty, the portion with rice under is not to big nor small. I would order this next time I come. - My son liked his Cajun Fried Rice, he ate it all in a heart beat, he also liked my catfish and the garlic fries too, not too crazy about the lemon pepper fries. - My daughter and my wife keep complementing the seafood inside a big bag, dumped it on the big plates: snow crabs (1lb), crawfish (1lb), green mussels (1lb),. The sauce was so tasty, the house sauce. The apron and gloves are a must. I had some sausages and crab, the sauce is confirmed excellent. My daughter ordered some steam rice to eat with the sauce and it's perfect. The sauce is a little spicy, she finished her Shirley Temple so fast and started with ice water. We did finish everything, even the sauce LOL. The damage was $183 which to us was reasonable with the amount of food and the quality of the food. We'll definitely come back here again. My son doesn't remember the last place he went in SJ. We may try that place first. read more

A good Cajun restaurant that recently opened in McCarthy Ranch in Milpitas. I decided to try it for the first time and I was impressed by their food and customer service. I ordered the Special 1 seafood boil with garlic butter with seasoning and mild spice, which was good, but the portions were on the small side as I have a bigger appetite. Customer service was good. Overall, a good restaurant if you're looking for Cajun seafood! read more

Finished up after a round of golf and wanted something spicy, so we headed over to Cajun Crack'n for some seafood boil. When we arrived, we got a table right away. We opted to go for their special deal which was $43.99 with a 1lb of head off shrimp and snow crab legs, plus an extra 1/2 pound of sausage, and extra corn plus lemon pepper fries, the total came out to around $70. The shrimp was a bit mushy and hard to peel. Crab was pretty good though. We got the spiciest they had, and yes it was actually spicy. Probably one of the better spicier sauces I've had at a seafood boil. I was surprised how thick the sauce was and it coated every bite. We enjoyed it but I wish there was more sauce, bc I think it would've helped cooked the seafood a bit more. You have the option to put it on the tray or keep it in the bag, I'd keep it in the bag to keep it warm bc on the tray, things got cold quicker. I do appreciate the side bucket to throw all the shells and waste. Overall, it's decent and satisfies the craving for a seafood boil. Prices are reasonable and no wait was a plus. read more

Absolutely worth the lunch deal! $13 for a shrimp boil that comes with sausage, corn and potatoes! Delicious garlic Cajun sauce, I picked mild for spiciness. The service was attentive and the food came out super duper fast! Shrimp were LARGE and perfectly cooked and not mushy at all. The interior looks like boiling crab in San Jose and has some music playing. They give you bibs and gloves here though!! Two lunch special shrimp boils came out to about $28 after tip and tax. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Short wait, good for groups, nice combo menu. I first went here when they were newer and offered free fries upon checkin. That's no more, but they still have great deals on weekdays and happy hour! Seafood was great, curly fries were yummy, and I like that they offer free hair ties so you can eat without a mess. read more

4.5 stars!! My sister kept on telling me how I needed to try this place bc she was constantly craving their shrimp. Their shrimp was pretty delicious if you ask me and it was perfectly cooked! Peeling was such a breeze and you can totally tell the quality is there. The service was great and their front desk has complimentary hair ties so you can really go to town with your seafood boil LOL. I noticed that the interior was maintained quite well with how clean and spacious it was too. Garlic noodles were also delish albeit it was on the smaller side. Overall, another great cajun spot to add to my list and you should add it to yours too! read more

Went here with my best friend because we were craving seafood boil for some reason on a rainy day and our usual place was closed. This place looked promising so we gave it a try! Service was really really good. Our server constantly checked on us and was super kind. The restaurant was also very clean and open! I ordered a pound of crawfish with the New Orleans cajun sauce, and my gf ordered shrimp with the house special sauce (combo of all). We do recommend going during their happy hour because their prices are SO good and worth. We shared fries and I also tried their crab cake sliders. Everything was delicious and completely worth it. One of the best priced seafood boil spots I've been to in California! read more

i always love coming here because the service is always amazing! we went here for HH and of course had to order their oysters. their oysters are super affordable during HH and it is always worth it. cajun fries (5/5): their fries always comes out super crispy and recently i learned that you can add garlic to it so it's becomes super garlicky and is soo good! hot wings (5/5): i always get cajun flavored and make sure to eat it when it comes out. the skin is super crispy on the outside and the meat is super juicy in the inside. it's the right amount of juiciness. cat fish slider (5/5): i love their cat fish slider! it's similar to the hot wings where it's super crispy on the outside and in the inside is cooked just right. combo 1: i always get the house special with extra garlic and less salt and find that it always comes out just right. i don't really like salty foods so i'm glad at cajun crack'n, salt can be reduced. every time i'm here the servers are super friendly and welcoming. they also have really good recommendations too! read more

Definitely becoming one of my favorite seafood boil spots in my rotation! The staff is always so nice and attentive. The shrimp pieces are big, fries are crisp and good to munch on, and the garlic noodles are just the right amount of garlicky and buttery - the noodles are a little thinner compared to some other spots but still good! read more

We came at 630ish on a Friday, no wait. The front desk greeted us immediately and sat us at a booth with a plastic tablecloth (expected with the menu). Our server came right over, and made sure to ask if we had any questions. We ended up with the special #2, with the recommended house sauce (all the options mixed together). I will say, holy garlic! If you're sensitive to garlic this may not be the sauce for you. We also tried the garlic noodles, again they take their garlic seriously. The food was so delicious, but this just isn't my style of eating. I'd never had seafood boil before, and the mess just isn't for me. They earn all the stars, as that's a me issue, not a them problem. The decor reminds me a seafood place on the water, and you can write on the walls if you choose. read more

This place is pretty packed on the weekends! When we went there many parties waiting and this restaurant is not a small spot. I would recommend coming early to join the waitlist. I think the sauce here isn't bad, but they give very little sauce. I would prefer it to be saucier. I also thought the garlic noodles were a little bland. But once you add the boil sauce, it's good! read more

The food. I think it's reasonably priced and good to share however, servers take awhile for drinks to be refilled.

mmmmmmmmm first off this place hit my seafood boil cravings! The seafood was beautifully cooked ! sauce was good, it could use a little bit more sauce and to be better mixed had several pieces not sauced up. the garlic noodles were so delicious very flavourful veryyyy garlic-y definitely the best garlic noodles i've had in the bay so far. the cajun chowder was very delicious everything was sooo flavourful maybe even a tad bit too salty but the flavour is goodddd! came for the 1$ oysters they were standard oysters order a dozen and it came with such teeny tiny sauces service was alsoooo so very good! they also offer free hair ties in the front came in clutch read more

Busy dinner place with mostly shellfish served Cajun style including custom boils. The food was decent but our server was inexperienced. The building was run down with a handle on the front door that was broken and a toilet in the ladies room that was leaking water from the flusher. Women's bathrooms on was also not clean. Plan to spend about $50 a person without drinks. For this price point you can get a better value elsewhere. read more

I eat here pretty often (once a month) and I definitely feel like the seafood quality has been declining over the past few months. I always order 1 lb of shrimp with head on, but I've recently been disappointed by the quality my last few visits. I used to come here over Clawshack and other seafood boil restaurants in the area because Cajun Crackin used to have good shrimp - fresh, large, firm, plump, and juicy. Unfortunately, the shrimp is soft and mushy now, indicating the lack of freshness. The restaurant is large with plenty of tables, so I rarely need to wait for a table when I come here. Also, the restaurant has plenty of TVs - great for watching NBA or NFL games over dinner. One thing Cajun Crackin really needs to improve on is their bathroom... the women's bathroom is always a mess - clogged sinks, leaking toilets, toilet paper on the floor. No complaints about the service here - all my servers have been friendly and checked up on on us adequately. read more

Had lunch here with a group of co-workers (12 in the group), got there about 15mins after they opened and got table fairly fast. Everyone in the group order different items on the menu, and said was good. I had the lunch special shrimp boil for ($13) with the house sauce which was recommended by our server. The house sauce included all the sauces they offer into one. Very flavorful!!! The shrimps that came with was large and fresh. THIS LUNCH SPECIAL IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!! The Cajun Chowder was okay, tasted like standard chowder, lack Cajun flavor, but still good. Also, had half of a catfish po'boy, the bread was nice a soft, the fish was a little small and the sauce was good. Our server was excellent!!! Differently will come back!!! read more

I love me a good seafood boil...unfortunately their sauce just didn't hit for me. Everything was cooked great but something about their house sauce, it seemed like something was missing. We ordered: Modelo Honeydew margarita Lemon pepper fries Calamari Cajun chowder (forgot to picture) Fried catfish basket (forgot to picture) Shrimp head off, house special sauce spicy, corn and potatoes Service was good. We did have to ask other servers for extra items since ours didn't check in as much but she was really friendly. I'm assuming she might have just been really busy as it was a Friday night. I want to come back to take advantage of their happy. Specifically for the $1.50 oysters. read more

My party of 4 came on a Wednesday night and was quickly seated at a booth. It was my first time trying seafood boil so I was especially excited. We ordered the combo 2 with house special, special 1 with cajun, and a side of garlic noodles. We ordered medium spicy levels for both. The garlic noodles came out really quickly and were a very tasty warmup to the bulk of the meal! 4.5/5 The seafood boil followed shortly. The staff brought out tools for cracking the seafood shells and a little trash bin. I feel like the meat was a good level of spicy but not as flavorful as the other ingredients. It was probably because of the shells they were in. On the other hand, the corn was extremely spicy from absorbing all the sauce. The seasoning was quite tasty though and I enjoyed the meal. I do feel like overall I wish there was more meat in the dishes, but they were transparent with the weight of the seafood provided in each combo. Overall it was a fun experience especially for my first seafood boil dinner! read more

Very solid seafood boil!! I got special 2 with snow crab, and head off shrimp with mild special house sauce. Even with the mild spice level there was a little kick but it was exactly what I was wanting! The sauce is very flavorful and a little smoky and there was a good amount in the bag. Overall good experience, service was prompt and it was a fun environment to watch MNF! read more

The servers here are very friendly and the service is great. The place is definitely spacious and is good for big groups. Plenty of parking in the area as well. I ordered the sweet potato fries, the Cajun fries, the combos, garlic noodles and oysters. The fries here are definitely addicting and crunchy. Their oysters were a little grainy. Their garlic noodles were enjoyable but I felt the amount given was smaller than expected. The combo itself tasted okay. I felt like the main combination sauce could have tasted better. Solid place in the area. read more

One of our newest favorite spots! Why? 1. Happy hour 3-6pm: oysters, $5 gumbo/calamari/clam chowder 2. All day Tues + Weds = $1 oysters 3. Exceptional service! Easy to get a table and they checked in on us while we were eating. Oysters did take some time to come out since everyone and their moms were ordering a dozen 4. Their original sauce is so flavorful, buttery and spicy even though we got mild. Coming back to try all the other sauces! 5. Their garlic noodles look promising too, we'll be back to try that as well read more

Walked in on Tuesday evening but they were steady busy. Big place with friendly service. Cajun fried rice is VERY salty. Garlic bread OK. Good to dip in the sauce. We did the combo #2 medium spice house sauce -- pretty good but salty with the garlic bread. Got the dungeness crab, clam and crawfish. It's work to eat with all the shells but it was good and enough food for the 3 of us. read more

There's a ton of seafood boil places in the bay but there are very few that I actually recommend. Most of the time, the sauce is usually way too oily for my personal preference or the quality of the seafood is okay. The first time I tried this place, I was excited because it felt like I could add a second seafood boil place into rotation. The quality was good and the sauce was actually a sauce and not just pure oil. I'm not sure what happened between the first time and the second time I went, but there was a noticeable drop in quality. We called specifically to see if they had fresh crawfish, which they confirmed. My partner ended up ordering the lunch special (which is actually a pretty good deal) while I ordered 2 pounds of crawfish. My partner had some big shrimps (we were a little skeptical about if it was actually a pound, but overall the quality was solid, and the sauce was actually a sauce (although it was a little too salty). For my bag, it had a few good pieces of crawfish (a couple were quite large too), but the 65% were super tiny and almost felt like the quality of frozen crawfish, which was extremely disappointing since I specifically wait for crawfish season to come to seafood boil places. The sauce was also mostly oil and super salty. I usually like salty, but it was too much. I'm not sure if I came at an off time, but the most recent time was disappointing. read more

Mmmmmm I love me a crab boil! I've tried quite a few places in So Cal and this is one of the best ones I've had. Service is always fast, price is normal, and the food is always delicious. A lot of places have more of a juice but I like that this spot has a sauce so it's a little thicker. Shrimp and crab legs are both good, a couple buddies have had the muscles, po boy, clams, and crawdads and they said those are all good too. If I pass through here I'll definitely be back! read more
