    Service is friendly and food is yummy! It's never over crowded and price is pretty ok for seafood boil it is seafood so it's not cheap.. definitely one of my families choices of seafood boil places to go to.

    The service was great, however the actual seafood boil was not cooked the best. The crawfish were extremely overcooked and dry. No juices at all when you sucked on the head. The shrimp was also hard to peel and mushy. I do not recommend if you are coming to enjoy the seafood itself. The sauce is very good though, the only problem is the actual seafood (which the most important factor of it all)

    The end of feast!!

    We usually eat at the one in Mesa, AZ But this time we were on this side of town and enjoyed ourselves!! As always great food our services was pleasant and nice. The restaurant wasn't crowded or busy but atmosphere was going good, we would go back to either one depends o. What side of town we on. Again a great place to eat at!!

    We've been to so many different places that do this same thing of seafood cooked in a bag with butter and spices. They are all good. So I was happy to come to this one. As I waited for our food to come I already noticed one difference. The service here was top notch. Not just attentive but just a 100% nice person. Our appetizer of a dozen oysters on the half shell were very fresh and well shucked. We all ordered the same combo that came with head on shrimp and snow crab with potatoes and corn. We just varied on the seasonings that went into our bags. My brother got the cali-Cajun, my hubby got the lemon pepper Cajun and I got the garlic butter with lemon pepper. I have to say that mine was better than any other that I have ever had before. The atmosphere is very fun and casual. There are lots of cute nautical and pirate furnishings and there was a Zoltar machine there. For those who don't remember that is the machine that the little boy used to wish to become bigger in the Tom Hanks movie "Big". I will definitely make this a must go when I am in Arizona.

    Absolutely delicious! The service was a bit slower than I would've liked & the servers could be a little more attentive, but the specials they offer balanced that out in my opinion. The perfect seafood boil for a steal + it comes with ice cream & their military offer is a free drink!! Where do they do that at? Apparently LA crab shack & I'll definitely be back.

    After a long week we need some good food!

    Our food was great, we came right before rush hour! The service was amazing. Loved the energy here. Can't wait to come back.

    Dozen oysters. So good and so fresh

    Took my husband for his birthday and we had so much fun digging through our 4 pound bag of Alaskan King crab, clams, snow crab, and Dungeness crab clusters. The potatoes, sausage, egg and corn were great too. This was the first birthday with my husband that we didn't go somewhere fancy, and he said it was one of his favorite birthday dinners at LA Crab Shack. I'm drooling now just thinking about it and can't wait to go back. Just told my husband we need to have a date night really soon. PROS 1. Fresh seafood. 2. Waitress was very helpful and explained everything to us since it was our first time there 3. Laid back and casual vibe 4. They have a great assortment of seafood: clams, all kinds of crab, oysters, etc. CONS N/A

    Everything was great here, I would say if you go to angry crab and read some of the reviews, I wouldn't say this place is better but I wouldn't say it's worse. They both have their unique taste and both are actually really good. To me angry crab sauce is a littler more runny and here the sauce is thicker like a rue. It is tasty but you can't compare it to the trifecta because it's a different taste: it is still very good, the medium heat to me felt like a low heat at angry crab so if you like stuff spicy definitely do the hot here. The service was great and the staff really took care of us. The restroom was clean and drinks were good. The only reason why I am giving them a 4 instead of a 5 is the shrimp was very over cooked. Other than that this place is very good.

Unfortunately, compared to our first couple of visits, our experiences gradually started going downhill. I will absolutely give credit where it's due -- the drinks and craftsmanship here are excellent. The bartenders really know their craft, make great recommendations, and we've had some seriously amazing cocktails here. Unfortunately, on multiple visits we started to feel increasingly unwelcome. It's honestly difficult to explain because there wasn't necessarily one specific interaction I can point to, but there was a noticeable feeling that we just weren't wanted there. Whether it was certain interactions with staff or simply the overall energy around us, we both picked up on it more than once. I don't know if it was because we didn't necessarily fit the typical demographic or vibe of the crowd there, and I don't want to assume anyone's intentions. I can only speak to how we felt, and unfortunately, we repeatedly left feeling uncomfortable and out of place. It's genuinely such a shame because we loved this bar so much in the beginning. It has such a fun atmosphere, and the cocktails are fantastic. We have some really great memories from our earlier visits, but after feeling this way on multiple occasions, we've decided we won't be returning.

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

The atmosphere was unique, the bartenders were genuinely engaging, and there was a real sense of community that made every visit memorable. It became my go-to spot to bring friends from out of town and every single person I brought absolutely loved it! Back then, the cocktails felt intentional and creative, not just rushed out for volume. The staff remembered regulars, conversations flowed naturally, and the whole place had this warm, eclectic energy that made you want to stay for hours. Even on busy nights, it somehow still felt personal. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, the vibe has changed quite a bit. The drinks just aren't as consistently good as they used to be, especially considering the prices now. Service feels far more transactional and impersonal, and the atmosphere that once made this place stand out has faded into something much more generic. It feels less like a neighborhood gem and more like a stop on a nightlife circuit.

Trying to book my mom's 50th birthday party was a nightmare. Emails went unanswered, phone calls weren't returned, and I ultimately had to drive there in person just to get the event booked. After finally securing the date, I waited for a follow-up regarding the details, only to discover that the general manager had been let go. I was given the new GM's name and phone number, but despite multiple calls and text messages, I was completely ghosted. This left me scrambling to find another venue with only one month before an important family celebration. No customer should be left hanging like that after booking an event. This was actually my second chance giving Lola's another opportunity because I genuinely like the vibe of the place. The first time, my group of only six people was still enjoying drinks when staff told us we had to leave at 11:00 p.m. because there wasn't enough business to justify staying open. That experience was disappointing, but I decided to give them another shot anyway. Sadly, after this experience, I won't be returning. Great atmosphere means very little when communication, professionalism, and customer service are consistently lacking.
