    Blacked salmon with over medium eggs and homefries
    Till W.

    We have been on a hunt for places that take the effort to offer gluten-free pancakes and waffles and this place has it! Breakfast is so good! I ordered the blackened salmon for my breakfast. The portion was so big! I think I could have shared it with my son. They have their own parking lot. I saw someone order two entrees: one savory and one sweet. I think I will consider that next time and just take home what I don't finish!

    I understand why this place is such a hit, all the food was delicious and very flavorful but the highlight of the meal was definitely the beignets!! They were so yummy and fluffy with the perfect amount of sweetness with the powdered sugar and syrup. I definitely will be coming here again!

    We were up here visiting a friend and she recommended this place. Super cute location, we sat outside since the weather was nice. There isn't to much heavy traffic to the cars driving was minimal. My husband got the chilaquiles and I ordered the Crab Cakes. Both were super good, the waiter was nice and checked in often. If we are ever back up again, would definitely come again.

    Meh. My breakfast was fairly bland and barely warm. We did not wait all that long so I'm not sure what caused the temperature to be so low. I have had decent meals here before. It always seems clean and friendly and caters to locals.

    Chilaquiles - Suuper tasty! Perfect spicy level and flavors with all the other toppings too. Definitely recommend it..

    I haven't been here in years (5+) since I moved away but while visiting and I tried it again...Still delicious as ever! The chilaquiles are a bit different than your normal Mexican style with the andouille sausage, but still super tasty regardless. The green salsa verde is perfect with a little spice, crisp tortilla chips and the other fixings. Overall the service was good on a semi busy Saturday morning. Prime time location as well with decent size seating and outdoor patio. Still a SB staple for breakfast and lunch!

    My friend and I arrived early Saturday morning in search of a yummy breakfast. We opted for bar seating as it was too cold to sit outside. I'd never sat at the bar before and I loved it! I felt like a kid watching excitedly as the employees prepared all the dishes, waiting for ours to come out. My friend ordered the raspberry pancakes and I ordered the chilaquiles. Every time I come to Cajun, they never disappoint. We were so happy with our meals, the service, and left satisfied.

    Love their food! Everything is delicious and hearty here. Jambalaya and gumbo are my favorites. Service is excellent too. We always go for a quick work lunch.

    Beignets with strawberries and caramelized bananas

    Food was amazing, staff was friendly. I had the tri-tip eggs Benedict and my husband had the chicken fried steak and we shared the beignets with caramelized bananas and strawberries. So much food we had to take half home. A must try if you're in the area

    Had breakfast here this morning. 7 of us fit nicely in the booth. We ordered the beignets (2 orders) for appetizers before our meal. Very delicious pillows of sweet fried triangles dusted with powder sugar. I loved poking a hole in them and filling them up with maple syrup. Very delicious! Everyone, again 7 of us in total all loved the food! We all ordered different things from the crab cakes Benedict to good old fashioned eggs over easy and hash browns. Everything was delicious! My wife who is Gluten Free ordered the fruit covered waffle and loved every bite! The servers there were super attentive!! There was never ever an empty coffee cup! Always there ready to top your mug off! Plus they were all very cordial and friendly!! A real plus to this wonderful restaurant! We loved the ambiance of the restaurant! We will definitely be back soon!! Great place you gotta go here!

    Love eating outdoors and we ate on the patio. It was my Birthday breakfast while visiting in the area. I Had to have my namesake omelet crazy Shirley but the piece de resistance were the beignets. Not quite the ones that you get in New Orleans but a nice touch and a fun birthday treat. Our server was nice and a ringer for Chris Rock.

    Loving lunch , yummy grilled  salmon, veggies, rice and cornbread

    Best breakfast place in town, with some great lunch options to. A bit of cajun brought to Santa Barbara and Goleta CA. Great service, friendly employees , always great!

    Jambalaya and Eggs with Cornbread
    Mari F.

    Amazing brunch spot with a sprinkle of Cajun flare, they know how to add some serious flavor to their dishes! Great customer service, food comes out super quick. I've come In a couple times and everything has been being great so far ! I ordered the jambalaya over rice with medium well eggs and cornbread, and it was packed with flavor and spice perfect amount of meat and veggies and sauce. The corn bread was great, home made fresh and not too sweet it was perfect!! Very Reasonably priced for the quality of food here as well.

    Blackened Chicken
    Mark Y.

    For the first time we passed by and there was no line at this location so we gave it a try. I'd been battling gout so I couldn't have my favorite shrimp and grits, or even jambalaya. Instead, I had the blackened chicken. It was a little bland and disappointing. A sprinkle of creole seasoning I discovered among the condiments helped. Rice was OK, but the coleslaw was bland too. It came with a big slab of cornbread, which is always good. She was happy with her breakfast burrito, it was the same quality we're used to at the other locations. Service was average, not what we're used to. The bland chicken and the service pulled my rating down to three and a half stars, but I rounded up to four because the shrimp and grits probably would have made me very happy that day.

    Absolutely delicious. Even this location gets packed on the weekends, but is better than the SB ones.

    Can't say enough good things about this place. My husband and I love to go to the boiling crab to…read moreeat this but we drive an hour from home to eat that. Now we can go half way and to Santa Barbara for the same food but definitely more pricy. We had our usual shrimp and also tried the mussels which were good. The corn was good as well. We made one of them New Orleans style which Comes with sausage, corn and potato but we switched to no sausage We really enjoyed it and will definitely return!

    It was our first time trying this place with my fam. We were looking for a seafood place that has…read morecajun, creole taste and this place didn't disappoint us. We ordered 2 lbs of shrimp - I think it's $25+/lb and 1 lb crawfish (can't recall how much maybe its $17+ /lb), 5 steamed rice, 1 large extra sauce (drunken crab mix - can't recall exact name) . Everything was really good - we did medium spice and it was spicy especially for my 12 yr old son but he still enjoyed it though. The service was good, but could've been better - staff are always by the bar are and just chatting, but someone will come check on us from time to time - its just that when we need their attention sometimes its hard because they had their back away from us and we ate at around 2:30ish so the restaurant was pretty empty - just 2-3 tables taken inside. The place is big, lots of seating and great for big groups. However, one of my disappoinment here is the ladies bathroom - its really dirty, trash overflowing and on the floor, etc, like its really dirty. I hope management can fix that issue with the staff. P.S I forgot to take photos because my kids were very hungry and didnt let me take pics...next time!

    GETTING HERE:…read more Ventura Crab N Spice is located a few doors down from The Habit on Telephone in Ventura. The footprint is the Winco shopping center. REVIEW: First timer here (what.) and it was so good! Quiet, not too busy on the day we went (during the week). I remember in my baby years of Yelp I used to note that a restaurant was "good" if it was busy. Post-shutdown and currently 2026, it's OK to me if it's ghost town inside. :) We ordered the Clam Chowder Bowl and Sweet Potato Fries. GREAT! The chowder had nice flavor and was thick, and the clam pieces were tasty. The bread was warm and soft, so full of flavor. Service was good. Love the vibe inside, too. Love the decor and the entire vibe. As much as I love seafood, I can't wait to go back to try their other menu items. Thank you for a great meal. Highly recommend!

    I had a really disappointing experience at Crab N Spice…read more We arrived around 7:50 PM, knowing they close at 8 PM. There was no wait, and we stood there for about 10 minutes without being helped. Finally, a waitress came over around 8:05 PM and told us they were closed at 8 and couldn't seat us. That doesn't make sense--if you close at 8, you should still be seating guests before that time, especially when they've been waiting and there's no line. The lack of communication and basic customer service was frustrating and unprofessional. It wasn't about the timing it was about how it was handled. Standing there with no acknowledgment and then being turned away last minute is just bad service. Definitely not the experience we expected.
