BEST DEAL!!! They have 2lbs shrimps for only $20. This is the best price I've seen in SoCal so far. The combo plate is also a great deal. The sauce is very delicious. Spice level is customizable. I was really impressed with everything here! Servers are very nice and friendly. The combo plate takes quite long to finish. The side dishes are very good on their own. Like they can open another restaurant with just the side dishes! read more

I came here a couple weeks ago prior to the TikTok video for reference. I came here for dinner on a weekend and it wasn't busy at all. Our group of 5 ordered a lot of food initially and still ordered more afterwards. We ordered the Steak Tacos, Seafood Cream pasta, Shrimp Tacos, PK platter with shrimp, crawfish, mussels with full house (medium spice), Calamari, and a half dozen of oysters. Everything was good! Although, I would not get the steak tacos nor the shrimp tacos as those weren't really that mind boggling. The oysters were good but wouldn't get it again. (I also never tried raw oysters prior to this so this was a good experience). The seafood cream pasta wasn't anything special either since it really just tasted like jarred alfredo with tiny shrimp pieces. The corn in the PK Platter wasn't that great, tasted overcooked. The good food I had was the pk platter and calamari and the chips from the tacos. The PK platter had alot of fries which were amazing. The sauce had the right amount of spice and flavor to it. After my group demolished everything, we ordered another 2 lbs of shrimp and that was really good. the soju cocktail was also really good too, barely tasted soju which is either good or bad (depends if they actually put enough alcohol or not). There was a lot of parking so don't stress over it. Overall, I'd give this place a solid 4.7/5 stars. I think that the side dishes aren't worth it to get as they don't taste that great (except for the chips and guac, that's good). The PK platter was amazing and well sized. I think next time for my group, I would just order one of the bigger PK Platters in combination with a smaller PK platter and get one side dish. read more

This restaurant is so good! They have everything from wings to crawlfish, shrimps and pasta. If you are into crawlfish you can still go here for pasta, gumbo, and wings. They are so generous with the lemons. I got like a whole bag. The ambience is so beautiful too. I am loving the private theme. They have a big parking spot. It is the perfect spot for freee da and family to meet. read more

Best Cajun shrimp in town ... Alex gone take care of you !!! Peeled shrimp go crazy !!!!'

Came in for the first time today for my sisters birthday. As soon as we walked in it was clean. I seen Holland (waitress) running around hustling just taking care of everything. It was pretty busy when we walked in. We had 9 in our party and she told me beforehand that they do charge 18% gratuity which was fine we did not mind. I'm only giving 3 stars because I'm assuming it was the owner standing behind the bar doing literally nothing while HOLLAND did basically everything, from cleaning tables to seating people to taking orders and serving people to making drinks. She literally was the best waitress I have ever seen she took on so much work while the owner did nothing and another guy that did practically nothing. She was so friendly and very genuine about the wait. We did not mind waiting at all and we're so patient with her because we seen how hard she was working. The owner and the other guy need to take notes because she did such an excellent job for being alone. The food was not too bad at all. It was just frustrating seeing this poor waitress doing everything and not being helped that just kind of ruined the experience for us. read more

Staff are super nice and food is delicious and fresh. I recommend this place if you like seafood

Loved from start to finish!! Our server Ben was basically the GOAT of servers. I've worked in service for half my life and this kid was astronomical especially given his young age. And, just so you know my bar is set very high. He was great as explaining the concept as this was our first time there. The food was exceptional. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. I got snow crab legs and shrimp. My dad got shrimp and clams and my husband got another boil and my teenagers got a pasta and tacos with asada fries. Everything was tasty. Ben was especially attentive. Excellent food, service and great ambiance. I'm a Cerritos native who has moved to Wyoming where the food scene is non existent this place is a gem. Hit them up and give business to locals!! They know what they're doing! read more

Just wanted to give bennett a huge shoutout! We came in Sunday night and he was such an amazing server. Like give this a man raise! lol very tentative and well mannered. The food was also very delicious! It is definitely my new favorite seafood boil to go to Will be coming back ! read more

Came in at 3pm for an odd request....26 people reservation in a Saturday for 4pm. Didn't think this would happen by 4 but hey let's try for Great grandma's Birthday. Spoke with Shannon, she was so sweet and accommodating.....told me to check in on the tablet and they'd text me when the table was ready promptly at 3:51, I get the text. We go in Shannon and Holland were soooooooo sweet and patient. Right when I thought all our party was accounted for, here comes another 8 of my husbands family. Unaccounted for on my end. But without missing a beat she set up another table nearby and started taking orders. Within about 20 mins, bags start coming out. While my 4 year olds kids meal didn't come out till we were basically finished; she was very apologetic and took it off the bill and still gave my son his nuggets. The all in Sauce at Medium is to die for, the seafood was fresh and the atmosphere was lovely. Thanks Pirates Kitchen Definitely will be coming back. read more

Food came out piping hot and flavorful. Service was great. Would return! Items ordered: 2lbs shrimp (all in flavor) 1lbs mussels Sausage Calamari (tiny bit of heat) Lobster tail read more

Pirates Kitchen - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

The seafood boil flavor is good but no garlic or very little. Your bag is filled with the mix water, so very watery. Soy chicken was good in flavor. The garlic fry is a No. Regular fries with some chives no garlic pieces. I assume they may have drizzled garlic oil??? But it tasted like Regular French fries. Did a Togo order and it was ready within 15min. Not coming back. read more

Just came from lunch at Pirates Kitchen and it was amazing! Great food! Even better service! Ben was a great server and made ordering easy, he explained the menu very well for us, and even gave me a beer on the house for my birthday! Overall a great experience and I would definitely recommend Pirates Kitchen to all my friends! Or the shrimp with the sauces all mixed together and you can't go wrong! read more

Great food and service is always good me and my family love going there. Drinks are good and not bad prices

I always come here and honestly the food is so good and the prices are incredible! But today when I went in I saw a new girl working named Rebecca who was very rude and dry with not just my table but everyone. All the other girls are so nice and amazing but not Rebecca. Since I already knew what I wanted to order when I told her she made a snappy comment "already?" And I'm not sure if she was just in a bad mood but she's not professional at all especially when talking to clients. Her attitude is very much idc about my job just here for my check. Which I get it, but no need to be bitchy. The only time she was nice was when I was paying and she was kissing ass for a tip. It's just disappointing because this place is amazing but that worker needs to be reminded of the company's core values. read more

Get the peeled shrimp, full house flavor. Can't ever go wrong! Alex will take care of you.

Pirates Kitchen - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

I love coming here with my friend. It's so delicious. The wait isn't as long as boiling crab and they taste very similar. They have a promotion of 2lb for $20 which is great considering half a pound is about $20 at other restaurants. The staff was super helpful and kept checking up on us. I got the full house medium spicy and it was perfect! The spice level wasn't too spicy, just how I like it. read more

Pirates Kitchen - 2lb for $20 - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

Came here during lunch time on a weekday. I want to say that parking can be a mess here because this location is located in a big plaza with a lot of people. The prices herfe are actually not that bad and they specials here such as a 1lb of shrimp and cajun fries for around $20 which is pretty fair to me. Food was good, i ordered 1lb of clams with full house flavor and spicy. The sauce is different from what you get from Boiling Crab but it was tasty! Definitely will come back in the future. read more

Pirates Kitchen - IG: @leansfoodies PK platter 2 lb of shrimp for $20 Seafood Cream Pasta - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

First off the best spot ever!! Food 100/10 BUT I believe his name was Bennet he was absolutely rude. Me and my friend go and he doesn't take our order down and he said he can remember cool. But he got my order wrong. And instead of taking it back I get "no I'm never wrong I always get the order rite" but clearly it was wrong. He goes tells his other co worker about the situation and we just get looked at. Cool bro. AFTER he comes to the table with an attitude saying he can take the bag back I was already over it and said no it's fine. read more

This place here was very delicious! The flavor was so good and it wasn't greasy at all you could really taste the seasoning on the shrimp and crab legs. This has the be the best place where I have not had difficulty removing the meat from the crab legs. I got my son the wings and regular fries and he loved them. Although they are understaffed and the wait can be long it is totally worth it. Just be patient with them. The parking can be hectic on the evenings we got there around 7pm and it was packed. I highly suggest you join their waitlist ahead of time through Yelp it will buy you some time and you can get seated faster. It's very spacious inside, great for big parties. read more

Best place nearby or far. $25 for 2 pounds. $20 for 1 pound and Cajun fries. Always fresh. Hot. Flavorrrrrrrrr. Sauce it down you do too much. Sauce is so good and so much. Bomb. Place looks so cool. The decor looks so fun. And we came once and the wait was over an hour so we order it to go and they made sure we had everything we needed. Limes, gloves, bibs. It was hot. And enjoyed it right at home. read more

Absolutely terrible! Don't waste your money plus they never answer the phone, super unprofessional

Fast service, they also were able to accommodate some request for our order although they didn't have to. Very considerate. The food was of great quality for the value. read more

Pirates Kitchen - Peeled Shrimp, White Rice, Cajun Fries (after the meal) - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

If I could give -10000 stars I would. Went on Mother's Day right when they opened, and waited 1 hour for our food to come out cold. We complained and got told they have cameras in the back and it's not cold, but when I asked the waitress to touch the bag, she did, and said she will contact the manager. We waited over 30 minutes for him to come talk to us to offer us new food or 15% off the bill. Disgraceful. read more

Always good here! The seafood boil never disappoints. However, recently we tried the seafood chowder and that is NOT a must try (in case you were wondering). Everything else though, bomb! read more

This was my second time here. Great price, Great customer service & Great music ! Thanks to Dennis ! Will be back.

Amazing Food ,Tasty Flavors ...highly recommend and also the waiter Dennis is so awesome and attentive and made our experience exceptional, looking forward in coming back read more

We enjoyed our experience there the food was good and the staff was very welcoming and pleasant and they played great music the overall experience was very accommodating for my Wife and I on our spontaneous date night. read more

I am giving a 2 star not because of service. Simple fact they did not listen and tried to fool my husband. We order our food and my husband asked for a level 2 with a Level 4 sauce on the side which is how we order everywhere boiling crab we go to due to me being pregnant, by the time I ate some I had to stop! It burned my stomach. my husband ended up trying his side sauce of level 4 and the sauce in the bag they were exactly the same. He told they guy, the waiter just walked to the computer not to the back to the chef or anything to check, he came back said it's says "it's a level 2 sauce, he can offer us more butter maybe that will help with some lemon" didn't even offer to ask if we wanted remade or anything so we just paid and left mind you this not our first time here but we will never be returning again we are just going back to claws or another boiling crab! read more

Great local business clean establishment Awsome customer service. Tanya truly met our expectations

Food and price point are excellent, service was exceptional. Will most definitely be returning. The decor, theme and seating were also good

A bang for your buck has never been closer! Thanks to this top of the barrel seafood boil that makes me feel like I'm really exploring the seven seas of tastes! Yums That only deserved a cheesy line because of all the boxes that it hits day in and day out. Every time me and my wife enjoy this eatery, we come between 11AM and 3PM to take advantage of the $20 for 2lbs head-on shrimp deal! As any seafood boil place, the hallmark full house sauce that we're all familiar with HITS the spot! The shrimp is quality to the taste buds and always al dente but juicy from the sauce! The head gathers all the butter and fat perfect to pair with fries and other sides which is something we're always ripping into when it comes to seafood boils! Did I mention the fish and chips with the tartar sauce is bomb also? Crispy, well battered and a great pairing with some beer! Easy Convenience Thanks to the unique logo, it's definitely hard to miss! They offer bibs, utensils and even gloves to save your hands from the unavoidable mess of sauce. Seating has always been well organized and paced and they even have a Yelp waitlist to notify you when your table is ready! The servers work hard AND manage to maintain a level of attentiveness at the "just right" level. When you're finished with your meal, there are tons of dessert places to indulge directly after! Lustre There is a lot of seafood boils but what this place offers is the best bang for your buck value when it comes to these awesome eateries! Free beer with a check-in, special deals on 2lbs shrimps and other items as well as the multiple locations that aren't exclusive to Artesia! Price to Portion The 2lbs shrimp deal is something to highly consider when that seafood boil crave starts to boil about. Though, generally, the price to portion is how you would expect at other places. It's hard to miss these deals though and the Yelp benefits are crazy! Free beer and the waitlist system? Sign me up! read more

Love this place ! Best shrimp and prices ' ! Ana is so wonderful and friendly ! Always come back to visit !

Me and bf came in super hungry, and left very fulfilled with a smile. I loved the garlic pasta - perfect texture and sauce flavor! Also 5 stars on the "build your own" seafood, we just got shrimp w/ head on, super tasty w/ the full house sauce! Oyster - for some reason we really do not like the oyster for some reason, we got 1/2 dozen and my bf and I had 2 oyster each hair to confirm that we don't find the oyster tasty at all, somehow there's no taste in the meat like usual. But the waitress is super cool about it, she said "don't worry about it" and took it off our tap. Loved her attitude! Great service!!! I would've gave them 5 stars, but I actually pick this place for their oyster cuz they look great in other reviews, but got caught off hard w/ how tasteless it is. So 4 stars it is, with the great service! read more

I only come here for the happy hour oyster deal. I've been here twice so far and only during my first visit was when they had oysters and second visit they sold out. I would definitely give them a call if you are coming here mainly for the oysters just to make sure. I was very surprised how delicious the oysters tasted. It was a little sweet, salty, and very fresh. Well worth your money! As for their cajun seafood in a bag, it was not the best. read more
