This is my family's go-to spot for seafood boil. This has Vietnamese flavors so if you love…read moreVietnamese food, you will love this place. We normally order the sea snails in the coconut sauce, filet mignon noodles and also the combo with Dungeoness crab. All great! There is something about the sauce or flavor where I can't stop eating, even though I know I'm full and shouldn't be eating anymore, but I just can't help it. The seafood is always fresh. They give you salt, pepper and lots of lemons to make your own dipping sauce. This is great, because if you know, you know, this place is legit for us Viets. They also provide additional sauce for dipping if that's not your thing. I'd love to gate keep this place, but I need this place to be around for a long, long time because there's no other place that compares to this place, IMHO.

It's been a minute since I've have had a seafood boil and man was this place was worth the wait!!…read more I came with a friend on a Wednesday night and thankfully it wasn't too busy. As for food we got the Combo 2 and our choices were shrimp, clams and snow crab. We went with the Torpedo sauce for our boil cause it was a mixture of all their other sauces (garlic butter, classic cajun and lemon pepper) and we got it at a medium spice level. And oh boy oh boy did it set our mouths on fire but in the best way possible!! The sauce was everything we wanted it to be, spicy, savory, garlicky, tangy and just pure indulgence. To calm the heat though we also got cajun fries, rice, Thai tea and Jasmine milk tea. Sharing a meal with a friend is always nice but sharing a meal with a friend here is great. I believe food is the ultimate uniter and I'm happy we chose to go here!! My one and only con is just the location because it was a bit sketchy especially at night but the food and service was so good I think it's still worth it to go.

Our server was so sweet and welcoming. She walked us through the options and made recommendations based on our party. For a party of 3, we ordered one pound of shrimp, one pound of snow crab, and half pound of clams. The staff recommended mixing their sauces and it definitely hit the spot. The seafood was fresh and meaty and the garlicky, spicy sauce kicked the flavor up a notch. We also ordered a side of fries to share and the dip it came with was amazing as well. The price is very reasonable! It was definitely bang for your buck. They have happy hours that span a good chunk of the day so definitely take advantage of that. Will definitely be back to support a local small business.

We've been going to this Shrimp Lover location for years and have celebrated many birthdays and…read moreother special occasions here. This past weekend, we realized we haven't visited this place for several months so we decided to go for dinner. The parking here is usually packed but there's a lot of parking spaces, so it isn't too much of a bother. We were surprised to see a few changes in the store - good changes. Part of the store has been renovated to accommodate a cloud kitchen (Thai cuisine). They were closed when we came so we'll have to try next time. They've removed the signature Polaroid photos of customers who have dined with them (which I kinda missed seeing) as well as the fishing net that hung on the ceiling. These changes gave the place a cleaner look. What hasn't changed? The same friendly staff who have been there for years. Our server even recognized us and said it was nice to see us again. The menu had a little more added to it but the usual Cajun seafood boil remains the highlight. They now accept credit cards again but the option to pay cash is still available. Since there were only two of us, we only ordered the Cajun seafood boil, the Cajun fries, fresh coconut juice, and their new dessert - coconut pandan cake (this is a must try). At the end of the night, we came to an agreement that the flavor of their seafood boil is still our personal favorite. We've dined at other seafood boil places but The Shrimp Lover is one that we'll always come back to.

First of all, we were greeted with a very warm welcome. They were playing good music. Cool spot to say the least. The food did not disappoint. It was just the right spice level and I have to say very generous portions. Iim really going to say this...It's better than Stinking Craw (and I like them)but, The Crab Shack is fire. Today, I was craving it again and my husband brought some home and again it did not disappoint. Great food and service. Must try.

I came here with four people for lunch, and our server Serenity was super helpful in explaining…read moreeverything. We decided on Combo #2 with Rockin Sauce (Medium heat). The snow crab, crawfish, mussels, and shrimp were incredibly fresh. Compared to Boiling Crab, their sauce is thicker and richer in flavor. The Medium heat was just right for us, but it might be a bit too spicy for others. We also ordered the Lobster fries, which really balanced the heat from the sauce--a perfect match! For drinks, we got strawberry and mango lemonade, and while both were great, my daughter loved the mango. The place is clean and has a great atmosphere. I'm definitely planning to come back.

Lol she brings it back to the manager and was like " it was from the packaging".. why is it in our food ?

Saw them come by a few times and made other people try to pack their own food. Idk how they have four stars.
