Ordered the king feast with mild shabang sauce, which is all the sauces combined! VERY GOOD!!! I'm not a huge spice girl but the medium was flavorful and left a nice tingle on my lips. The crab was very fresh and had a good amount of meat in it. The sausages were great. Honestly everything dipped in that sauce was great. For $56 dollars to feed two people - not bad at all. Everyone was very welcoming and it got busy after 7 pm. One thing, I wish it had music or something playing because I felt like the people next to us could hear our conversation as we could easily hear the other people's. All in all though , will return and highly recommend for all your crab leg lovers !!!! (Pretty extensive menu though- didn't just have boils and seafood platters, also had some pretty good looking po boys) read more

Ever since King Cajun moved into the old Bananas location years ago, EVERYONE has told me to go eat there. Well, the day finally came and I hate myself for waiting so long! The King's Feast seemed to be the most economically friendly "test" of their food, and I would have happily eaten two on my own. Everything about this meal was delicious, including the bread, and their in-house sauce that was dangerously good. At Market prices the meal was complete worth it and since I'm not a huge fan of crawfish, it was easy to split the various tasty bits with another person and still be satisfied. I love how they remodeled the insides and am surprised by how much space they made. Looking forward to going back and enjoying every crack and twist of their food! read more

The TOP seafood boil to go to in Orlando! They're a family run restaurant and the servers are super attentive and friendly, and always have the right tools ready for what you ordered and constantly emptying out/replacing the shell buckets for you. It's a no frill vibe, just a giant roll of paper towels ready to get down and dirty with. They have a variety of menu items if picking seafood shells ain't ya thing, from po boys, fried seafood platters, and typical Cajun rice dishes. Contrary to what they're known for you MUST get the Special House wings, that's a sweet/sticky sauce that you can adjust the spice level to. Definitely in my top 3 favorite wings of all time. As far as seafood boils go, it's always perfectly steamed. The shrimp (both shell off and on) has a nice bouncy bite to it and the crab and crawfish come out easily. I recommend getting their Shabang sauce which is honestly like crack and they know it cus they sell it by the pint. It's a thicker butter based sauce mixed with citrus and tons of garlic. Between the wings and the shabang sauce, is what keeps me coming back! read more

Viet-cajun seafood boil place on Mills. Bit of parking outside which is nice. The Shabang sauce is absolutely delicious and much more flavorful than other seafood boil places. However, this place is a bit pricy. Everything goes by market price and their combos don't save you a whole lot of money not to mention the fact that they're not necessarily complementary flavors so not very enticing. Also corn and potato are not included if you order a la carte and most of the combos only give you like one of each. If you want to add it to your boil, it's like $2 for a single half corn or a single potato compared to other places that give you like 3 for the same price. We got the snow crab, crawfish and Dungeness. We opted for the jumbo crawfish which is a dollar more but the crawfish we were received were absolutely PUNY so it was definitely not worth it and it makes me wonder how small the regular crawfish are. The crabs tasted quite fresh and cracked really nicely. First time trying Dungeness and it's quite a meaty crab which was nice but I think snow crab has more flavor. Both were good quality. Overall, the food tasted really good but it's a bit pricy to be my normal go-to seafood boil place. Our server was also nice but it took awhile for the food to come out even when there were few other patrons in the restaurant and even more so when it got busier. The food came in aluminum tins rather than the bag so it got cold a little faster but it was easier to dip. read more

I ordered the king crab combo and they do not give a pound of crab if you order to go. Many times I have eaten here and there are many inconsistencies. They definitely shorted me but insist "it's just the batch" "it's weighed before cooking" which I'm aware of. I would also add the food was old and overcooked. It was almost inedible and a rubbery texture. Be weary read more

This my friends is King Cajun down on Mills Ave in Orlando. If you haven't been, I suggest you visit. Just a heads up, parking here is a nightmare! Park across the street, way easier. Dangerous, but effective I've only had the crab legs here, and they have never disappointed. As for the sauce, I get the shabang mild, which is a mix of all three sauces. The crab is fresh! I'm a snow crab and Dungeness crag kinda guy. I've never once thought my crab was bad here. Make sure you manage your expectations in terms of how much food you order. I think about 3 clusters, corn and sausage is more than enough. Pricing here is fair too. Try it out! read more

I can hear with my friend after work around 5:30 pm on Friday and surprisingly it was not packed at all. It did get busy around 6:30 pm. There's limited parking so ho there before the dinner rush. Food: we got the Royal Feast which came with Shrimp, crawfish, mussels, clams, snow crab, Dungeness crab, corn and sausage with the shabang sauce. The food was great, it had plenty of sauces on all the seafood. Best part was the corn soaked in the hot shabang sauce Service: the server was nice and always got me a refill on my drink every time I'd finish it. She also got our food out fast after placing the order. Atmosphere: it was nice and not too loud with any music. I was able to talk to my friend which was from out of town. read more

I ordered online and picked up for reference. I ordered at roughly 3:50pm on a Friday, and the order finished quickly, I arrived around 4:20. Parking was simple, theres a couple of street parking spots and a parking lot in front of the joint, it did look like it could fill quickly tho. The food was bagged nicely and things separated so nothing would get soggy, which I very much appreciated! I think so many places forget things like that. I ordered, the Kings Feast, which came with 2 clusters of snow crab, shrimp, potatos, sausage, and corn. i ordered a side of hush puppies, and etouffee which had a mix of crawfish and shrimp mixed. Everything was piping hot when i left the restaurant, lol i was running back to my car bc the pan was burning my arms haha. It's my first time having food like this and I really enjoyed it, the shebang sauce was super spicy and i also tried the lemon pepper sauce which i actually liked more! The corn was my favorite bit, having soaked in all the flavors it was very enjoyable. Overall it's a great bountiful meal to share with friends! The hushpuppies were good, and although it was my personal least favorite of the items i ordered the etouffee was good as well, i think i would try it next time with just crawfish instead. I'll definitely be back and let people know it's a great place to try out in orlando. read more

My friend was talking about this shabang sauce since we landed (we didn't even leave the plane yet!). Obvi, we had to make the trip here since he's hyped up this sauce. Dude, when I say the sauce was THE BOMB, holy moly I think this was one of the best seafood boils I've had by far. Their shabang sauce is a mixture of all their sauces combined - think creamy, delicious, buttery goodness accompanying your seafood boil. My friend & I shared a King Feast, along with some étouffée. Worth every penny? You bet - this was more than enough to be a fulfilling meal! And remember to dress cas & be ready to dig in and get dirty (get that sauce, homie)! read more

Yesterday we were all so excited to go for an early dinner, as it may be one of our last opportunities since we are moving out of state in a few weeks. Food - delish as always but our experience was so negative due to sour puss Nancy who waited on us. Not one smile not one pleasantry. Never did she come back and ask if we needed anything or were enjoying it. 6 people trying to have a celebration and she ruined it !!! She was miserable and unprofessional. I have worked in hospitality industry and truly thought this over - she wasn't busy she wasn't between shifts She was awful and mean. Here's where it got even worse She brings me a computer to run my card ( 40 dollar tip was INCLuDED !!!!!) My only option was to put pin in an eat that.

If you like some spice and good seafood, this is your spot. When we walked in, it was pretty quiet. We quickly realized it was because everyone was too busy eating. Our server was very prompt and helpful. Our food was so fresh and hot. We both got the shabang sauce which was a perfect blend of flavors. We got hot and extra hot which was maybe a little hotter than we anticipated but it wasn't a painful hot. A very good tasting heat! The crab and shrimp were great size. The mussels? HUGE! The jambalaya was very creole/tomatoey. It was good, but a small was still a lot if you're ordering a boil platter. The popcorn crawfish was a light golden fry. The onion rings had a good ratio of batter to onion and had a lovely crunch. You have to get the beignets! They are cooked to order and they don't hold back on the powdered sugar. read more

If you like crab boils half as much as I love them, King Cajun Crawfish is a winner. I am always skeptical when the sign says "best" of anything. That usually means not the best, but trying to be. Still though, King Cajun did not disappoint. It is a smallish venue, which would be good for a group if you reserved over half of the booths and seats. On this Saturday afternoon when I visited, the place was almost packed. And soon after I arrived it was at capacity. In addition, there was a steady stream of take out customers as well. I had a crab, crawfish and shrimp boil, the Boiled Shelfish Combo. It was between $50-60 and worth it. So the interesting thing about this place is none of the boils have a price on the menu. They go by whatever the market rate is. Seems like a sound business practice, but a little off putting to the consumer. There was a chalk board which did have pricing, but that was just as confusing. My advice clearly communicate with your server to get the pricing for exactly what you want before ordering. As far as drinks, they have soda, domestic beer (no craft beer options) and I think wine. I had a water with my boil which was just what I needed to combat the spice of my meal. The service unfortunately wasn't the best, probably because they were so busy. Our server was a teenager who if I was guessing is probably related to the owner. She didn't seem very thrilled to be there, and I can't blame here. When I was in my teens, working on a Saturday was the last thing I wanted to do. Still, she did check on us twice during our meal and the food came out a lot quicker than I thought it would. It was actually out within maybe 15 minutes of our order. Maybe more, because I was really just into my social media addiction at the time. They serve everything on paper plates with plastic utensils. They give you a bib and plastic gloves, with a roll of paper towels to keep the dripping going deliciousness at bay. I really loved the simplicity, especially since they gave extra gloves. I needed them. Finally, here is the takeaway. The seafood was extremely fresh with the exception of the crawdads which were fresh, but not nearly as fresh as the shrimp and crab which I swear just came out of the tank. The bowl came with corn, potatoes and sausage. I chose the garlic butter and Cajun spice hot. It was a fantastic late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. read more

I was craving fresh crawfish; luckily, my friend agreed to join me for dinner. I called ahead to confirm that they had live crawfish and was happy to hear they did. It's crawfish season! The restaurant was busy, but we were seated quickly. Our food arrived promptly after we ordered, and the sauce was delicious. It had a perfect balance of buttery, fresh garlic flavor without being overly salty. The prices were reasonable and comparable to other seafood places in the area. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you're in the Mills Colonial area and want high-quality seafood, great service, and convenient parking. read more

Shh.. Do you hear that?...(whispers) she bang, she bang No its not Ricky Martin. It's the sauce you never knew you needed in your life. Well pretty much everything on this menu you need in your life (see mouth). I had no idea Vietnamese Cajun existed and now I don't know what life was like before it. This is my favorite restaurant to take out-of-towners to when they visit Orlando. You can't go wrong with anything on this menu. My go-to is a shrimp po-boy (with she bang sauce, its extra $ but oh man if there was ever a time to treat-yo-self) with jambalaya and fries. If you're with a couple friends and ready to be in a food coma for a couple days (hey you ain't got nothing to do right) get a seafood platter. read more

One of the best seafood boils in the area! Every time I come the food is hot, flavorful and of quality. The menu is pretty extensive so you can try something new every time you come. I normally get some variation of crab, shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes. I get the "Shabang" which is all the flavors together + medium. It's not overly spicy, so if you want more heat I definitely recommend going to hot but be prepared to clear your sinuses. Pro tip: order the bread and dip it in the sauce. I could probably eat 100 of those loaves with sauce alone and be happy for the rest of my life. Unrelated: They are the sweetest people and it saddens me that they were treated so poorly in the last few months. I'm glad to see the city of Orlando support a local staple. read more

Messsssyyyy but worth it! You definitely go here to get your hands dirty. This place is always great! I've always had the same order but I look forward to someday trying something new. My go-to: Royal Feast, Fries, Spicy Chicken Wings and a bucket of beer. I highly recommend asking for their shebang sauce which is a mix of all their other sauces. Prices vary based on the market price of the seafood so come prepared to spend about $30 a person - for some I can see how this is a little more expensive than other seafood boil spots but these folks are authentic/family owned and it's well worth it! Service is always good too, however, on busier nights I have experience slower service/wait on food. The food is delicious and I keep coming back. read more

My fiancé and I like to call ourselves seafood connoisseurs (lol), so it was a must that we try this place out after searching for seafood in Orlando and seeing the reviews. We got there a little after 8 and had to wait maybe 10-15mins for a table as they were packed. Once seated, we got our drinks and looked over the menu. Fiancé ordered the king crab combo with mild shabang sauce and I went with the boiled shellfish combo, extra hot shabang sauce. The shabang sauce is all their sauces mixed together. Food didn't take long to come out and it was a bunch of it. You definitely get your money's worth. It was my fiancé's first time trying king crab and let's just say he's hooked at this point. I will admit, the food had very good flavoring and it wasn't too salty like some seafood boils can be. I enjoyed every bite and wasn't even able to finish it all. I do wish mine would've been a little more spicy though. This is definitely a spot we will be back to whenever we're in Orlando again. read more

I've been to plenty of crawfish spots (from Vegas to DC to CA). I have to say, this has been the best of them all. Whenever I go to Orlando now, I have to make a stop here. The sauce, oh the sauce!!!!! I could literally pick the pan up after eating and drink it. LOL. They do such an amazing job not only with the sauce, but how it gets cooked into the crawfish itself. Craving it right now as I write this. My mother, who is a picky eater, even stated this place was really good. Another favorite is definitely their fried catfish. It is large, so make sure to share. The fish taste so fresh. It's flaky, lightly battered, and full of fish. I hate it when places over batter and all you are eating it dough, but not here. Mmmm, can't wait to go back again.

Came here with my family, while I was visiting. It was a big mistake. - Paid extra for live crawfish. Ate four and two tasted frozen and the other two were dead (black and stinky). Complained and they brought out some live crawfish to explain that they used live crawfish. I explained that the black crawfish means that it was dead before it was boiled. They took away the crawfish without explaining if they were making a new batch or just cancelling the order. The waiter did not come by to check and is "busy" taking orders from other tables. He's pretty bad compared to the waitress. (After everyone else was done eating, he asked if we needed anything else and I told him the next time they took something back, they should ask if we wanted something else. So now I'm upset and I have to make a pit stop somewhere to get something else to eat). - The scallops were pretty good. - Overall, the food was okay, but the misleading claim about the quality (e.g. live crawfish) is concerning. Also, the customer service is subpar. It's really disappointing considering that the location and the price are decent. I don't plan on coming back and I would not recommend if you don't want a situation like this to ruin your plans/vacation. read more

I enjoyed my sandwich but the hush puppies were a little dry in my opinion. My friend didn't really like his sandwich as the jerk chicken moisture made his sandwich fall apart as soon as he picked it up, and the jerk seasoning was a little sweet. Overall I think this place has potential but I was a little disappointed that I couldn't try the appetizers since they weren't available. I'd maybe try it again but it was also about 40 minutes away so indecisive.

I really wanted to like this place but it was a swing and a miss. Parking was easy during the Saturday afternoon we visited. On busier occasions, they do offer valet parking. Nearby businesses share parking so if it's a peak time, you may have to walk a little to the door. Not a long wait before we were seated. Spacious with tables and booth seating. There is a bar and televisions here. Our hostess was nice and offered insight into the menu. For the appetizers, we started with oysters Rockefeller, and fried gator tail. It's a red flag when places smother items in a sauce instead of letting it stand on it's own. No complaints on the oysters and the gator tail was given previously frozen vibes. For the entree, I got the shrimp po' boy. The bread was hearty and held onto the six lil shrimp that they felt were enough. When the ratio of shrimp, bread and topping aren't portioned right, you end up with gaps of the flavor when you're eating. What sent me is the shrimp weren't properly deveined. If you took a biology class, you know that black line running along the back is the shrimp's waste system. I'm not eating that. The hostess saw me just sitting there looking at my food and asked if I wanted something different. Hard pass. Even the waffle fries were bad. They weren't piping hot and dried out inside. I made due with the sweet tea which they did well with. The manager came by and offered to remake or replace my meal. I appreciate his efforts but I didn't want anything at that point. The bathrooms were clean. Nice enough people but the kitchen didn't get it right.

I was in this part of town for a conference, so I decided to come to this location, instead of the Mills one. Thank God I did. We walked in unexpectedly into karaoke day!

On top of that, tip was already auto grat, which I didn't think was what I would have tipped. If there were 2-3 servers, no problem, but all that tip going to one person when service drastically slowed? Horrendous. Management, fix your staffing issues! At least stop seating people when the place is full and you know you do not have the capacity to serve all these folks. Everyone in the restaurant was trying to be patient but there was a lot of angst all around, plus the server seemed to have a bit of a spiff with the manager / owner that came out to drop off food (which also didn't give for good vibes when you're eating). It felt like they were one step away from a shouting match. Besides that, the Bite 30 menu was a great deal. Apps were solid, as were mains. Dessert wasn't great though. But still a solid deal to get some crab plus extras in, and is a good way to sample their offerings.

And I dared to bite into one of the peppers that accompanied it and it set my mouth on fire. For dinner we had the Szechuan scallops and the XO fish. The scallops were tasty and the dish had lots of broccoli, peppers, and mushrooms. The sauce was a bit sweeter than we expected. The XO fish sauce was very similar to the Szechuan sauce and though the fish was a tad salty, it was still savory. The asparagus that accompanied that dish was chopped (easier to eat) and there were plenty of sweet snap peas and bell peppers. We adore snow pea tips and were in the mood for lots of veggies. So, we got an order to accompany our meals. We did take home most of it, along with lots of broccoli (for me) from the Szechuan scallops. We were treated to a complimentary Chinese-style dessert made with peeled split mung beans and thickened with tapioca starch into a gooey, translucent pudding that was served warm.

GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT! I being from Louisiana, actually know what cajun food is. Just cause you know what a makes a po-boy and know how to go google NAWLINS... Doesn't mean you lived in the heart of Louisiana. When you go mud riding, egging on college drive, and have car meets at coffee call and actually have a crawfish boil every week and you know Cajun food. When you walk into King Cajun, you are swiftly greeted by a warming staff. Whom promptly get your drinks in right away. After you drool and stare and become mesmerized by the menu. You finally decide on what to order. Shrimp po-boy all the way with gumbo and 5 lbs of crawfish! The shrimp po-boy was perfect. The bread was toasted to the perfect crunchy yet not to hard texture. It was dressed with pickle, mayo, tomatoes, and of course lettuce. BOY O BOY THE SHRIMP! WAS LOADED. It was floured and cooked nicely. None of that yucky over flour taste. When I say they load it. They really do. I mean I don't know if they lose money loading it so much. Gumbo, I honestly do not know how to explain you'll just have to try it. It isn't the microwave kinda. Its legit cajun gumbo. Trust me, it has sausage, shrimp, rice, the whole nine yards. The seasoning is great. Just be warned you might want another one. OOO OOO The fries!!!!! OH MY GOD! I COULD EAT THE FRIES ALONE. They're seasoned with King Cajuns seasoning and it is fricken awesome. Now for the Crawfish. This is the most important item to review since it is a Cajun restaurant. The price good, the crawfish is definitely live. You can taste the it in the texture of the meat. The "Sha Bang" seasoning is the one I went with. It has a unique taste to it. The taste is a relaxing heaty sensation with a little bit of kick in it. They also layer it in garlic. I love the garlic! OH MY GOD! HOW COULD I FORGET! THEY HAVE BEIGNET! Me, moving here from Baton Rouge, two weeks ago. I was devastated, because I could never enjoy the crunchy but soft mushy inside with powder sugar on top. When I say it taste exactly like Coffee Call. It does. This is the best cajun restaurant I have ever been to outside of Louisiana. Actually it might be on par with a traditional Louisiana restaurant. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at King Cajun Crawfish in Orlando, and I must say, it was a delightful culinary experience. If you're a fan of authentic New Orleans flavors, this place is an absolute must-visit. First and foremost, the Jambalaya at King Cajun Crawfish is nothing short of sensational. It's a perfect blend of spices and ingredients that transport your taste buds straight to the heart of Louisiana. The combination of tender meats, flavorful rice, and the unmistakable kick of Cajun spices made every bite an adventure in taste. I couldn't get enough of it! Now, let's talk about the "Shrimp for One." When they say "a lot," they mean it! The portion size is incredibly generous, and the shrimp themselves are nothing short of perfection. Cooked to a succulent, juicy finish, each bite is a burst of seafood heaven. Whether you're a shrimp lover or not, you'll find it impossible not to enjoy this dish. What sets King Cajun Crawfish apart is its commitment to delivering an authentic taste of New Orleans right here in Orlando. From the rich, bold flavors to the warm, inviting atmosphere, it's a slice of the Big Easy in the heart of Florida. The attentive and friendly staff add to the overall experience, making you feel right at home. In conclusion, if you're in Orlando and craving the flavors of New Orleans, King Cajun Crawfish is the place to be. The Jambalaya and Shrimp for One are both scrumptious options that will satisfy your Cajun cravings. I can't wait to return for another mouthwatering adventure in Louisiana cuisine. read more

Horrible place to eat. We went there to eat and there wasn't a single clean table to sit on. We asked them to clean one of the tables and when they did, all that we saw was them smearing the crap on the table. (You think they would know how to wipe food OFF of tables?) So after we started eating, we noticed that all of the trash cans were full, so we couldn't even throw our (nasty) crawfish away. They mixed up old crawfish with new ones (probably because they thought we wouldn't notice). And about 60% of the crawfish that I ordered wasn't edible. The insides were gray and dry. Some of them were so dry that it tasted like paste. I am a huge fan of crawfish and this restaurant probably ruined it for me. Definitely was not "fresh" like we ordered. If we didn't have 3 whole lemons to drown out the horrible taste, we would have wasted 60$ worth of crawfish. Oh and another thing, the people behind us were talking crap about us on their phone the entire hour we were there (AFTER they stole the "clean" table from us when we went to grab our tray). read more

If you're craving top-tier Viet-Cajun seafood, King Cajun Crawfish is the spot. Their crawfish are fresh, perfectly cooked, and absolutely drenched in their signature Shabang sauce--an addictive mix of garlic, butter, and spice that takes every bite to the next level. Beyond the crawfish, the seafood boil options are just as impressive, with shrimp, crab, and mussels all soaking up that bold, savory goodness. The spice levels are customizable, so whether you like a mild kick or a full-blown heat wave, they've got you covered. The atmosphere is cozy, casual, and just what you want for a messy, flavor-packed meal. The staff is friendly and efficient, making sure you have everything you need to enjoy your feast. If you love Cajun seafood with a Vietnamese twist, King Cajun Crawfish should be at the top of your list. Just be prepared to get your hands dirty--it's worth it. read more

Come for the crawfish! Stay for the beignets with ice cream! I've been here twice, both with and without my kids. The crawfish for one with Raging Cajun sauce is my go-to & you can specify the level of spice (medium has enough bite for me to enjoy and share with my kids). The fried oysters and shrimp are fresh. I've been to my share of crawfish boils, trips to Louisiana & crawfish festivals. King Cajun 2 is my fave crawfish place in Orlando. This year it's under new management, so keep that in mind if you're reading old reviews. Friendly atmosphere and staff is attentive. Do order some French bread to sop up the sauce. And for a unique dessert experience order some fluffy hot beignets with ice cream, rip 'em in half to spoon ice cream inside, and eat them with your bare hands. I will continue bringing family to eat here for sure. read more

If you are craving seafood or just crawfish in general, this relaxed little cafe has all the shellfish boils and other Gulf Coast seafood specialties star you ever did indulge! You have to get the shabang sauce, because what else did you come here for?? We order live crawfish with shabang sauce with potatoes, corn, and sausage. Order some bread to dip into the sauce because you don't want that goodness to go to waste! A meal isn't complete without fries, so order some Cajun fries too. My girlfriend brought some crawfish to go a few times and hours later, it was still so good and hot, (the good kind of spicy). Every time we come here, our server knows what we want and is always friendly and prompt. A bit more on the pricey side but the portions are huge so it makes up for it!

There is plenty of seating and a lot of new flat screens with a variety of channels! The main and the king is the crawfish! It comes in live or frozen. To be honest, the frozen taste just like live. A bunch of different seasonings! Rajun Cajun, Garlic Butter, Lemon Pepper, and Shabang(Which is all of them mixed together) The spicy levels are mild, medium, and hot, and extra hot! I personally stop at mild because i'm not an avid spice eater! They have a variety po'boys and oh don't forget BEIGNETS!!!! 5 out of 5!!!! SUPER HIGHLY RATED! read more

Asian owned Cajun restaurant. Need I say more? OK I will just to be fair... I enjoyed the calamari po-boy and the size of it, but it was one of the cheaper items on the menu (7$) - their lunch specials are probably the best times to go. Small restaurant with ample street parking. I went one time and there was 4 Vietnamese guys chatting it up drinking some beers and this very annoying (unknowingly racist) blonde woman sneezed as she was eating her food. When she did that, they stopped talking and she insisted that they keep talking. Then she wanted to trade food with them once their food came out.

I came to this place a few times. The quality of the crawfish is great and fresh. They have the taste just right like i remember in New Orleans and Houston. The owners and kitchen staff are friendly. The only problem they have is the waiting staff. They are young and rude. They never say thank you or welcome. And are ready to give you an argument or an excuse. I give the food 5 stars. Waiters and waitress 1 star! That's the only problem when it comes to good food it comes with bad service .Oh well I guess we just got to find a new place. read more

I tasted the crawfish and it was extremely tasteful! I was born and raised in New Orleans and this place is a very good substitute. read more

I don't get this place and it's reputation. I have had two of the worst fast food experiences at this place. The burger are dry and tasteless! They are horrible! This place is absolutely no competition for In-n-out and I don't know how they have stayed in business. The fries were nothing special, but at least they weren't as lame as the burgers. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere! read more

I came here and tried the crawfish and blue crab, they were actually pretty good. This place is pretty authentic. I never heard of the sha-bang sauce, I asked one of the servers what it was, they said its all the sauces mixed together. I tried the sauce and it was excellent! Its not too salty, not too sweet, not too sour, its just perfect! I will be coming back here from now on! read more

My husband and I have been visiting here for YEARS! We absolutely LOVE the food here. In particular, we love the crawfish. Frozen and Live! We always do the Shabang sauce extra spicy. We also get the snow crab legs and blue crab. All are fantastic! Add the corn and potatoes...well worth it! The staff is always friendly and leave you alone. Always recommend this place! read more

Absolutely love this place. Every time friends visit from out of town, or I feel like pigging out Cajun style I go here. The sha bang sauce is so amazing that I have requested to take home just sauce with the french bread so that I can dip. My first time in I met the owners and learned their rich beginnings and every time I go in they recognize me. Wonderful place. read more

I really enjoyed eating here. The food was extremely fresh. I mean everything we'd extremely hot and tasty. The Cajun fries are very good. Also, the hush puppies and wings are pretty good too. Everything comes spicy so be careful when ordering "hot" or "medium" heat. Plus, The prices are very reasonable. Customer service was also excellent. No complaints. read more

I'm not usually a fan of mexican food but I found everything that I tried at this restaurant really tasty. I highly recommend trying the frontera guacamole, ceviche trio, and pork tacos. My husband also really enjoyed the topolo margarita. I would definitely go to a Rick Bayless restaurant in the future. read more

This place is busy most of time. Their crawfish is decent, nothing special . Sometimes it doesnt taste seasoned and the crawfish is too small. The service is decent. Sometimes they will rush you out if it gets too busy. This restaurant is very small so someone cramped in together. read more

The entire tray of crawfish tasted old, the crawfish meat was mushy . The same taste as reheated back and forth seafood. This used to be my go to place and highly recommended place . Not sure if they aren't as busy so food is not as fresh. Another reason we are disappointed was seeing that they use boxes that say " made in China crawfish " won't be coming back ( they used to get it from Egypt , the quality was much better). :/ 2 stars because the employees are actually friendly but food sadly went downhill

This place is really good, but with an asterisk…read more We pull up, windows have heavy tint so you can't see inside. Inside, it's bright & somewhat plain. We're seated right away. Feels somewhat like a small-town diner. The menu has awesome choices, but there's a ton of stuff that is $30+ (several $50+) and I really didn't want to spend that much on lunch. I picked a snapper sandwich with a side caesar & my friend got a shrimp quesadilla. They came out about 10-15 mins later. price seemed a bit high, but i know costs have skyrocketed lately, so them's the breaks. The fish on my sandwich was flavorful - but very dry. Would have been better cooked with some kind of fat. The bread was fluffy & nice, but fell apart right away. The veggies in the sandwich were fresh & bright. The caesar side was amazing. they gave me tartar & ketchup, so i asked for cocktail sauce because ketchup is weird for this. No problem. I didn't even finish half because it was so big! My friend's quesadilla was very tasty, but for some reason, it's an absolute oil slick. So the opposite end of the spectrum lol. She enjoyed it but couldn't finish because it was too greasy. There was a thick layer of oil on the plate and on the quesadilla. The ladies working there are really nice & helpful. They checked on us several times. I paid really fast & they got us out the door in less than 45 minutes! I would love to get some of the fancier stuff sometime, but would probably want to eat it elsewhere, because the diner feel doesn't match how fancy the food is. But overall, great experience with the asterisk being the cooking styles & plain appearance. I thought i got pics but can't find them now, but the presentation was great.

Walking in, I was greeted by a friendly young gentleman. I had placed a to-go order and within minutes, my food was handed to me. I had ordered the grouper with fried rice and vegetable medley and the calamari appetizer. I have to say that both the grouper and calamari were excellent. The fried rice and vegetable medley were also pretty amazing. The prices here are very good. The grouper plate was about twenty-two dollars and the calamari was about eighteen dollars. The quality of the food could definitely rival more expensive restaurants. I will definitely have to return here and I will give it five stars for an incredible meal.

Updating this review from about seven years ago. I came to Reel Fish a while ago, and it was a…read moretruly awful experience. The skimpy amount of seafood I got was not good, not cooked well, or served with undercooked potatoes. It shook me. Especially for a Winter Park restaurant. After my five year statute of limitations passed on repeating restaurants, I looked for the perfect opportunity to come back and try again. I found that opportunity recently with a few friends for brunch. Their brunch menu looked amazing, so we made our reservation and came on by. Ambiance is actually really nice. Right off one of the main WP roads, gigantic windows look out upon the street as passersby roam from shop to shop. Inside looks like an ocean-side sea shack, but an upper middle class one. Very nice little ocean-themed chotchkies adorn the walls, very cozy. Service was also great. Very nice server, very prompt food delivery, and they gave complimentary bread with a delightful butter. I always adore free bread. We started off sharing the Seafood Fritters (Four savory puppies, stuffed with lobster, shrimp, scallops, clams, grouper, onions, corn, poblano peppers, served with a zesty tartar sauce). If all five of those seafoods really were in there, there must have been only a few molecules each, but there was undoubtedly flavors from most of that list, and they were accentuated with the poblano. Topped with that zesty tartar, and this was an A+ app. I had the Lobster Benedict Royale (Chunks of Maine lobster on fried green tomatoes & house-baked buttermilk biscuits, topped with poached eggs & Hollandaise, sprinkled with paprika & chopped green onions). This was indulgent. Pure luxury. A warm biscuit with a good flakiness, that fried green tomato with the perfect thickness and thin, delicate coating, and those perfectly cooked jumbo chunks of lobster on top, all covered in an unctuous Hollandaise. Exactly as it sounds, as advertised, the perfect seafood brunch item. I also got to try the Shrimp Frittata (Wild-caught Florida shrimp, fresh eggs, spinach, Campari tomatoes, goat cheese, caramelized onions, baked in a cast-iron skillet, with wheat toast, butter & a little mixed green salad). This was a fun dish. Good shrimps, well-cooked eggs, a nice tang from that goat, and of course a nice crunchy toast to help make it even more interesting. I didn't like that random salad on the side. Just get bigger cast irons and make the frittata bigger. Overall, what a redemption. I'm not sure what was wrong back in the day, but this is a five star place now that I will happily return to when it's time.

For appetizers, we tried the brussel sprouts and the burrata. We all agreed that the brussel sprouts were the best we've ever had. They had a kimchi vinaigrette making them sweet, savory and salty. Each bite really hit all flavor profiles and they were also crispy. For our second appetizer, we ordered the burrata which was served with a tomato and strawberry gazpacho. It was really fresh and it was a nice pallet cleanser after the brussel sprouts. For my entree, I ordered the Alabama chicken. I was excited because my friend ordered this last time and I really liked it. I was underwhelmed this time. The chicken was a little dry and the fried Mac and cheese was really dry. For dessert, we ordered chocolate olive oil cake, which was very moist. We also ordered the hazelnut panna cotta, which was a special. It was good but compared to the cake, it wasn't very memorable. As for service, it was excellent. It's a very small dining room and you do need a reservation.
