The food was so good! My family had 2lbs of shrimp! DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The corn was super sweet! The potatoes were so good! The service was great! We also ordered the noodles and they were so spicy! So far I would come back to this location! read more

service is really good! there were 2 servers there on a Friday night shift. But we got everything we needed and they were super friendly! The seafood boil and shrimp would probably get a better rating that's what they're more known for!! we got the seafood cream pasta, gumbo, and Cajun fries. It was pretty spacious with lots of open tables, so we got seated immediately! Their menus are fully online, no printed ones available. Some of the data signal is a little bad in the back of the restaurant, so you can try to load the menu in the front first! they have soju, beer, and a fridge stocked with drinks! SEAFOOD CREAM PASTA: 3.5/5 pasta was pretty oily, but the flavor was good and the calamari was not too tough. the pasta was firm and almost a little too rough for me. 5/5 The garlic bread is really crunchy and delicious!! Not too hard where it hurts your teeth. Flavor is good. We got 2 slices of garlic bread with each dish. Seafood Gumbo: 3/5 flavor was mid. the seafood was really good and the portion size is def worth the $10 price! i would definitely want to come back and try the deal for 2lbs of shrimp for $20!!! from 11am-3pm read more

food was great. we bordered a mild shrimp. we did a dine in. service was excellent . cool and relaxing place to spend with family.

My boyfriend and I aw this place on TikTok and we decided to pay them a visit. Holland was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing. Super friendly and patient because it was our first time. The music isn't too loud and the entire place is pretty chill. They have $1 soju shots and we tried the strawberry and the green grape. The star of the meal was the shrimp for sure. We got two pounds each and we both added sausage, I added potatoes and he added an egg. I prefer spicier foods so I got medium and it was perfect. He got mild with the full house sauce, which was super yummy. Overall, everything was super good and although it's about an hour away from where we live, we're definitely coming back. read more

Pirates Kitchen - 2 pounds of shrimp (Cajun sauce and medium spice) with potatoes and sausage. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

This place gets pretty packed, but the wait isn't too bad (about 15-20 minutes for us on a weekend evening). The service was good and the place seems to be family-owned! I got a pound of shrimp (no half pounds allowed) at the spice level 3 with the PK sauce. The shrimp were a good size and the potatoes were as expected. I also got garlic bread, but honestly it wasn't necessary. I liked the spice level (probably around a medium at Boiling Crab) and appreciated how the sauce wasn't too salty or oily. The sauce was darker than other seafood boils I've had and had a deeper, more curry-like flavor than a true Cajun boil - but was still tasty. Definitely a cool place to try, I'd recommend going during the day (11:30am-3pm) since that's when they have their $20 for 2lbs of shrimp deal! read more

My friends and I were craving some seafood boil and we just happened to stubble upon this restaurant. If I'm being completely honest, it's quite lackluster. Other than the service being good, nothing else stands out about this place. Their seafood wasn't as flavorful or seasoned, their fries were overcooked and tasted burnt, their portion sizes seemed smaller than the indicated weight and all in all, the place was just lacking. It's a newer restaurant so it was pretty nice and clean but I honestly think there are better places out there. If you're just looking for something casual, I'd say it's an option but I don't think I'd go out of my way to eat here again. read more

Really sad to be giving this place one star. I enjoyed the experience a-lot. On Friday evening my husband and I brought our niece and two nephews. We ordered ALOT of food. We ordered a dozen oysters and one of our nephews, my husband and I ate them. The three of us contracted vibriosis. The oysters were infected with vibrio bacteria.. Our symptoms appeared on Sunday morning around 3 am and our nephew ended up going to urgent care for IV FLUIDS. my husband and I are severely dehydrated and currently on antibiotics. My sister in law called the restaurant and they didn't call her back. My mom keeps calling with no response. We've been here twice and spend alot of money here. But unfortunately we will not be coming back here... read more

Stumbled upon this cute spot because the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed . Ana I'm so glad we did ! It was cute and cozy . The hostess who sat us was also the waitress. She was the only person I saw in the front but she did an amazing job ! The food was great ! Shrimp tacos were tasty but the guacamole was brown . The jambalaya was in point . They also have an oyster special but it's only during happy hour so we will definitely be back for that! It was a little hard to find though , gps took us in circles . Located in a strip of restaurants. . Lots of parking. read more

Seafood excellent! One just has to get "dirty and smelly ". Price at certain hours can't be beat! Staff friendly, accommodating, but overworked it seems. read more

I really hope I could like them but unfortunately I can. Ordered a lb of crab with corn and the full house sauce. One lb was about 2 clusters. The crab meat was not fresh and mushy, the sauce was extremely salty. I eat outside food very often and have high toleranceof salt and msg, but it was by far the most salty I have eaten in a long time. They have to take credit card info over the phone, which I wasn't too comfortable but still did it. I understand sometimes customers might order and never pick up. If you don't like giving cc details over the phone, you may wanna dine in or go somewhere else. read more

Service was okay/good for being this hour (bit before 9pm). I know this place is mainly based on seafood or mainly shrimp but they can definitely invest in better quality wings. Was a bit disappointed to be served microwave wings that mostly consisted of fat and not enough chicken. But take this info if you were considering the wings lol read more

Came here for dinner the other day with my friend. The food is good and the waiters are friendly and attentive. We ordered the build your own bag with the house sauce. The portion was filling and next time, I will order rice because the left over sauce was very flavorful; therefore, it would make a good pairing with the rice. Definitely a place I would visit again. read more

This price for what you get is good. You get 2 lbs of shrimp for $20. Then you have your add ons which is where they get you. $9 for Cajun fries is high but they make up for it by having $3 canned Modelos. Lately though the shrimp is old, 3 times this has happened. You can tell it's old by the way the shrimp comes apart when you're peeling it. It's hard to chew. Hope they work on this and bring in fresh shrimp so people don't get sick. As far as service, well service is horrible. They have 1 waitress and she clearly can't handle all the tables on her own. She tries though. The music is depressing. By the end of my meal I was ready to go. It needs to be more upbeat or at least not to put you to sleep. The bathrooms are disgusting. I felt like I contracted something when I went in there. If they bring back the fresh shrimp this place will keep doing well. I probably won't go back for a while can't get past the old shrimp and bathroom. read more

So i found them on tiktok Because a blogger claimed that they offer 2 pounds of shrimp for only $20 all day any day So i had to try myself! And yes. They really do All you gotta do is show the video! Food was good. I ordered mild flavored & it still had a good kick to it! It was very tasty. Service was good. We waited a while tho. About 45 min even with the yelp check in But once you're seated they serve pretty fast & constantly check on you! They had music playing & everyone was vibing & eating! Definitely gotta be back! read more

The shrimp quality was really good but the sauce tasted like water with chili powder. They need to work on the texture and flavor of the sauce. I got 1 pound of head on shrimp with corn and sausage inside the bag. The sausage was NOT Louisiana and the corn was a frozen corn on the cob. The Cajun fries were really. read more

If I could leave 0 I would. Do not come here if you want to be disrespected by the owner. My family and I came here on Mother's Day. We arrived a little before m noon, they open at 1130. So it was pretty empty when we arrived. We had a big group 4 people ordered first and got their food quick and HOT. The rest of us ordered not too long around 1215 or so. Our fries came out first but after 30 mins. They came out cold. We don't say anything. Then we proceed to wait over an hour for our food and when it came out our food was cold. It was not near close to being even warm. It's a seafood boil. The food is suppose to come out hot and steaming. Who wants to eat cold seafood ? We tell the server and she proceeds to say the food doesn't sit there we have cameras back there. Okay ? Then why is our food cold ?? She touches it then says let me tell the manager. The manager doesn't come for over 30 mins. We hardly touch our food because again who wants cold seafood. If we are paying $$$$ for a boil we expect it to be HOT not cold room temperature food. The manager comes and says I'm sorry we can remake the food or discount your bill 15% at that point we have waited 2 hours to eat. God knows how long it would take for another batch to come out when we already spent over an hour waiting and then waiting longer just to speak to the manager. The first batch of food came out great. Why did the 2nd order come out cold. And even the table next to us had hot food come out. When asked to take the crab legs out. Because they were hardly touched the manager refused. When my sister Said mentioned not eating the crab legs the manager proceeds to say "what haven't you ate". Excuse me ? If you come and look at the bags on the table we hardly at any of the food. The server kept coming back and touching the food like it was going to change how much we ate or if we were lying about the cold food. She knew it was cold. After going back and forth he comps the cold food and proceeds to take the food away. And then on top of that they charged a service fee for the other food. Even when it was only 4 people who were fed. Make it make sense. And for you to take the food away is insane. Horrible establishment. We came here often. Never had any issues until Mother's Day. Horrible customer service ruined our Mother's Day. read more

I'm so glad my daughter in law brought me here last week. Now this will be my second time coming. I love there food the clam chowder fries are so delicious. The restaurant is clean and you get served pretty fast. The only thing I do have to admit is the wait period for seating is a bite long. But so well worth there food lol. I definitely recommend this place if your looking for some good shrimp boil sea food. They also have happy hour! read more

Love pirates kitchen when they have oysters which are fresh and at a good price. Long ago they had oysters for $1 each. Bring it back!

Five stars for the waitress ZERO stars for the OWNER that's how I came to three stars. Came here on Sunday around 11 AM with a big party around 15 people The check was about $680. sat down and we all placed our order. Then a waitress had advised us that the AC was not working they told us that the AC had been working on and off for the past couple days AFTER we ordered our food. We would have left but our food was already being prepared so we didn't want to leave because we would've felt bad. We were wondering why there wasn't any fans in there, the poor waitresses we're working very hard the owner needs to do something about it not only for the workers but also for the customers who spend money there ! We weren't even offered a discount or a free drink . This review is mainly to defend the waitress who work hard and need fans and the cheap owner a who need to help their people out. read more

Went to Pirates Kitchen for the first time the other day and had an amazing experience! Tania served us and did an amazing job despite being the only server working. The restaurant started to get pretty full by the time we sat down, but she was very good at checking back on us despite how many tables she was helping out too. Food: We ordered calamari, garlic noodles with no cheese (allergy), and a mild bag with full house sauce (1lb of shrimp & 1lb of mussels). Garlic Noodles - (10/10) Really good, will come back again for the garlic noodles. Calamari - (8.5/10) Very crunchy and really good Seafood Bag (8.5/10) Mild Heat has a bit of a kick but was bearable and sauce was really good. If you order a bag, keep in mind that they don't do 1/2 lbs. Also consider getting the Combo bag instead of making your own, if we did it would've came out to be the same price but more food. read more

Food is delicious! Amazing flavor. Sometimes the service is really slow. The location is a bit small but worth it.

I came on a week night and was surprised at how empty it was. There was a deal for 2 lbs of shrimp for 20$ which these days is a steal! I did wish the sauce had more garlic since I'm used to boiling crab style sauce with small chunks of garlic but otherwise had no complaints about the seafood. We also ordered clam chowder fries which were interesting but next time I would pass. It made the fries too soggy since they weren't crisped up to begin with. The calamari was super crunchy and delicious but at the price point, I probably won't get it again. There was a Yelp check in offer for a free beer can and free stuff is always nice at a restaurant. The server was top notch and very attentive without being annoying. I appreciated the fun pirate ship decor which added to the ambiance and the gloves and bib provided. Fair warning that the bathroom is kind of gross and smells like pee. Parking was plentiful when we arrived but was super packed when we left. read more

Pirate's Kitchen in Artesia where you'll find a pirate's booty filled with mountains of the very best seafood. We got started with their famously delicious Michelada's which did not disappoint, while the crew in the kitchen prepped our feast drenched in their most tasty sauces that Sharon here doled out table-top for our spread. They served us the sweetest snow crabs, the most tender scallops, absolutely succulent lobsters, and 2 pounds of fresh shrimp so finger licking good I I sucked the heads and ate the shells. That's 2 pounds of shrimp for only $20. This is the place for finger licking fresh delicious seafood. read more

This place was so good! We had the PK Platter that fed 3 of us in the group easily and all for $50 which came with 3lbs of seafood (shrimp, clams and mussels were our picks). The garlic noodles we ordered to share were really good and not an overpowering garlic flavor, just the right touch. My boyfriend and best friend loved the soy garlic wings too and they looked tender and flavorful. Did I mention that there are $1 soju shots?!?! Say less!!! Service was great, our server was by herself when we were there around 530-6pm on a Saturday night. We left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. Will definitely come back! read more

This place is amazing great service great food come here!! You will not regret it. I promise you

Went for dinner on a Monday night with a party of 4. I ordered: 1 pound of shrimp, level spicy with full house seasoning and sausage. 7/10. It's good but in my opinion a little bland and not spicy in the slightest. The shrimp could have been fresher. The sausage was not for me. The flavor is just not what i'm used to. I usually like spicier sausages but this one was more herby. Half dozen oysters. 6/10. They were not fresh and a little fishy. Also they were not served with a side of tabasco which was unfortunate. Cajun fries and sweet potato fries 10/10. I loved both but the sweet potato fries were my favorite! they were dusted with powder sugar and super crispy. Service could have been better. Our waiter was nice but he was just very slow. He never even visited our table after the food was served so we had to walk up to him to ask for the bill. read more

Great price for 2 lbs of shrimp for $20, their "Tik Tok" Special. Their house seasoning is one of the best!

Delicious food! Our server was very nice and helpful. We came in for lunch and was sat almost immediately for our large party. Gratuity was included since it was a large group. My girlfriend and I got the lunch shrimp deal and added another pound of crawfish. There was so much that we didn't finish it all. The mild full house on it wasn't too spicy and we should have done the medium, but the mild was still delicious! Definitely will be coming back again. read more
