I came here with four people for lunch, and our server Serenity was super helpful in explaining everything. 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. read more

Everything was good until we found a piece of paper stuck to the claw of a crawfish with words of "keep frozen" etc. then the server doesn't even check or look at it, and says it was just seasoning. Lol she brings it back to the manager and was like " it was from the packaging".. why is it in our food ? If you prepare food why would anyone want to have paper in there that has writing on their food. Terrible service and lazy. Saw them come by a few times and made other people try to pack their own food. Idk how they have four stars. read more

Y'all... Rockin Cajun in Carson just earned a customer for life. Salmon cooked to perfection. Rice + veggies on point. Service = ABOVE 5 stars. Real talk: I was about to leave because of my blood pressure/diabetes and didn't know what I could eat. This young man stepped up, talked me through the menu, and made sure I was good. That's amazing service. Greatest spot to eat. Highly recommend! read more

The music and ambience was nice. It had an upscale feel without trying too hard. We went for lunch and both ordered the Caesar salad and I also got the watermelon lemonade. I requested red snapper on my salad instead of salmon. I know salmon is healthy but the red snapper is so delicious. They gave me a generous piece of fish, pan fried it crispy and used Cajun seasoning. The shaved fresh parmigiana cheese is amazing on the salad. Great lunchtime meal. My only complaint was the Caesar salad was a little small to be a meal. I expected to receive the standard size salad. read more

The place was clean and the service was solid. We really liked the soft shell crab with remoulade -- nice size, super crispy, and full of flavor. We also went for the Combo #1 seafood boil with crawfish, mussels, clams, plus sausage, corn, and potatoes. Not bad overall -- I just found the sauce a little on the salty side. One thing that was kind of a bummer -- no complimentary refills on soda or iced tea. All in all, it was okay. Glad we checked it out! read more

We always get shrimp takeout here for special occasions and bring it home to eat. We buy the head-on shrimp and it never disappoints! We even freeze the leftover sauce to try it next time and buy our own shrimp to cook with it. Haven't eaten here yet but the ambience is so nice when I pickup food. It's what what you'd expect to see in a local restaurant with good vibes that cater to people of all ages. I can only comment on the service at takeout and everyone is just polite and service is fast. Thank you for making your food available to order online and I do appreciate the mobile texts to let me know my pickup is ready. read more

Loved this seafood boil location. It was a nice place to go to for some quick seafood boil service. When we got there it was pretty empty by the time we left it was packed but we got everything we needed in a timely matter no matter the crowd. We order lemon pepper wings and they were delicious. We got the #2 Combo. It was delicious. We wanted to try some of their other dishes like the Cajun pasta or the pasta jambalaya but it would've been way too much food for us. We'd definitely like to come back so maybe we can try some other menu items then. read more

Rockin' Cajun Seafood And Grill - Lemon pepper wings - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Carson, California

Zero star if I could, got multiple orders wrong , server was rude, didn't offer refills only seen waitress twice with a party of 10. Than we could not split the bill, payment was not a problem but being the only black people in there while paying they needed to id us with the card lol. Would not recommend at all , walked in and told them my party number and made me switch tables after I informed them large party again made us switch back to the original table I chose. Bad overall experience, paid and went on our way. MUCH BETTER PLACES AVAILABLE LOCALLY AND WORTH THE MONEY YOU WILL PAY read more

This is our go-to spot when we want to celebrate something--or just feel like we've earned a little indulgence. My family always orders their 1 lb. bags of shrimp, while I stick to my favorite: the shrimp po' boy. Everything here is flavorful and fresh, and if we do takeout, my car smells like Cajun heaven for at least a day afterward. The Cajun fries are crispy and well-seasoned, and the beignets are a sweet, fluffy finish. My only small wish is that the po' boy had a little something extra--maybe a signature sauce--to really take it over the top. Still, Rockin' Cajun is a solid choice for seafood and Cajun lovers, and we'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Rockin' Cajun Seafood And Grill - Combo #3 - Crab Lovers - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Carson, California

Ordered the #3 combo. 1 order of "king crab" and another side order of snow crab As you can see in picture. King crab is smaller than the snow crab. $80 for king and $50 for the snow. The #3 combo was EXTREMELY SALTY ! Was very painful to eat. The king crab and snow asked for just boil. No spice please. So my 5 year old can enjoy it. Of course came out spicy. Their exploitationwas the boiling water is the same water they use. But obviously their food is precooked and pre marinated. So instead of getting a new batch. They got a marinated one with flavor and soaked in hot water try to get the spice out. Hands down worst experience ever !! Paid over $300 for this meal. Had to take home and rebuild all the food and try to salvage whatever is left. Just sucks when you spend that much money and your kids cant even enjoy the food. Not even the easiest way Just boil !! read more

Twas Sunday, Father's Day and my person, who I wanted to celebrate is an inpatient man sooo didn't want to go to a super busy spot and low key. He loves seafood so decided to check it out. I tried the garlic black noodles with lobster with a side of Alfredo sauce, it really tasted better for my taste buds. Also got a ceasar salad that was good and honestly was overpriced. My partner didn't want to work for his food and do all that cracking and separating sooo he went with double catfish with corn and fries, he cleared that plate out! Good price for that combo. And our server was great and so were the other staff members, will be back for some crab legs. Delicious strawberry lemonade. read more

We tried it once & loved it. They don't sell great drinks but you can order what they have. You can also order all you can eat but it seemed more expensive than just ordering the snow crabs. (That's what I wanted most). Crabs were better than crab shack for sure. Ambience was nice. I did have to pay to order potatoes, corn or sausage, so just ordered corn, potato. Grew up in New Orleans & was happy to see our food being recognized. New Orleans literally does have the best food on the planet. I love California & absolutely love Gavin Newsom. (Next President I hope). Been out here for 38yrs. Would not live anywhere else. People would give their eyes and teeth back home to live here. Anyhoot, (I digress) going again tomorrow for husband's birthday. I'll let you know my honest second opinion. Thank you very much! read more

Always delicious, can always count on my food tasting good and out very quickly when I'm here. This place gets very busy when large parties arrive. There's also plenty of parking outside as well Edit: Our server's name is Marvin! Thanks again!! read more

Dined here for the third time on Saturday (March 29th, 2025), the first and last time two times prior to my recent experience was in October and November, respectively of 2022 those two occasions were absolutely wonderful. The service was great as well as the food. They were playing a series of hits from the early 2000s which really added to the vibe on all occasions. I especially love how well carbonated their fountain soda drinks are they last a long time which I've yet to experience that part from any location aside from McDonald's. On all three occasions, the same thing was ordered. with the addition to the fried platter this last time, which was the seafood boil mix at $64.99. Here is where things go south while dining. I've bit into one of the shrimp, and got off putting taste. I hope that it was nothing, but turns out it was. The place advertises "always fresh" now given that seafood in the Los Angeles area is not pulled from our beaches oceans because of pollution, we know that's not entirely true, however, how you keep frozen seafood, still requires a certain level of precaution. We had dinner around seven and arrived back home about eight p.m. By 11 PM I was in the restroom with diarrhea and consistently had it until about 8 AM the next morning. I thought maybe it was just me, but seeing how my mother who also dined with me on all these occasions as well, at this location, she also woke up with diarrhea; that is the only thing both of us had eaten which leaves us to conclude that it was in fact, the boiled seafood, not the fried platter, because today, not even a full two days later, when I opened the refrigerator, I was immediately hit with the smell of spoiled seafood (as we brought home our leftovers). We haven't touched the food since we brought it home Saturday night. Mind you, that is the only food currently in our refrigerator and it's Monday afternoon as I type this review. So today, I called the restaurant around noon, to inquire if I could possibly speak with the manager, just to inform them of the situation, not wanting anything in return, except for them to make sure that things are being properly stored. I said, " hello, I was wondering if I could speak with your manager"? I was told, "the manager isn't available" then I asked if I would be able to leave my number for when the manager would be available? The person who answered the phone said "the management doesn't come in until Thursday". I said "wowwww, okay, well thank you" and without any response, she hung up the phone. Now this is where I get upset, and here I am leaving a yelp review. Diarrhea is not anything to play with, and the fact that this person who answered the phone didn't even attempt to inquire about why I would possibly need the manager or if there was anything that she could help me with instead, she had an attitude, and then hung up the phone, in my face, before I could say goodbye, indicates to me she had a problem, and likely the manager was actually there, and just does not want to deal with customers? I don't know, but the service was great that night. "M" was our waiter, Super fun, super lively, so I was surprised by this encounter today, Monday afternoon, only two days later, to get this. So what do you do when you can't make things right with the actual establishments, when you try? You come to Yelp and you write a review about your experience (since they didn't care to hear it), as we know, reviews make the world of difference. That phone call today was unprofessional. I've worked in Customer Service, and I highly value treating clients with respect, as well as a customer treating employees with respect because we all deserve respect and appreciation. The bill was over 100 and something dollars, seafood in California, is not inexpensive (due to the shipping factor, previously mentioned). So basically, we're not likely to be returning, and I say go at with your own risk, at this point. Cheers! read more

This place was great. I haven't been to a Cajun spot in a while, and they did not disappoint. The Cajun sauces they have here were great. Order the 40 dollar snow crab boil. My waiter was a sweetheart; she made sure we had everything we needed. We got to the restaurant just before the Saturday rush, so everything came out fast. Paying the tab was a little slow due to the crowd, but overall, a good experience. We topped it off with some beignets, and they were pretty tasty. Parking is great the restaurant is located in a pretty big lot. read more

Walked in not very crowded. One big party and a few empty tables. PERFECT. Had my choice of seats. Service was great our waiter was very knowledgeable and helped us order. Food came out pretty quickly everything was delicious, shrimp was fresh and king crab legs were meaty and delicious. Sauce was a little salty, but the peach iced tea mellowed it. Will definitely go back. Ordered the beignets to go probably should have ate them when they were hot. But they weren't bad. read more

I had not heard of this place before. it was referred by a friend who lives in the area. So glad that I visited and I will be back!! Blackened Catfish! I dug right in so I did not take a photo! read more

Please stop making excuses. First of all, a ground beef patty being cooked down i.e. it's net weight is NOT the same as removing parts of the shrimp i.e. the head and being left with an actual half pound of edible meat. When you cook the hamburger patty down YOU STILL CAN EAT IT ALL!!! Also, the poop is supposed to be cleaned out of the shrimp REGARDLESS of whether it is peel-and-eat. Leaving poop i.e. excrement in the shrimp (or failing to "devein" it as you called it) is a health hazard and once it is cooked with the poop still inside, it pretty much makes it inedible. I knew the shrimp was not peeled but I had NO idea it was not cleaned until I got it home as I took it to-go. Also that is NOT Snapper you guys are serving AND the gray skin that you guys left on is not edible as well. Just a bunch of excuses in your response so I will let my card company handle this matter. This place is cheap subpar seafood, PERIOD! read more

First off the cashier is rude. kinda attitude you can feel as if like I needed their business, 2nd they aren't true to their menu, for example, ordering the shrimp plate, they are supposed to come with fries and coleslaw, thats according to their menu, and now they say its not valid anymore, then change your menu Goofy, simple fix. Asked what I can substitute since the don't have coleslaw anymore, she said nothing, just fries. I asked, can I put in my number for rewards, she says,that's not a thing anymore" lol Goofy service, regardless if its under new ownership that doesnt have a rewards or loyalty program, be polite and say theres a new ownership and that its only used for ordering. That's the last time I spend a dime on this place! No friendly customer service whatsoever, the only reason I still purchased was because a family memeber wanted to eat from here and was delivering it to them, Never again, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. Zero Stars as in Loser Zero GOOFY SERVICE, Goofy review read more

this food was terrible the boil doesn't even come in a bag it comes on a bs ass platter with the garlic seasoning on top and all oil at the bottom!

3.5 Stars for the record folks. Tasty but a little on the pricey side for what you get. The dining area is kinda like what you'd see at a mall as far as tables and chairs go. The service was decent especially considering how busy they were. Now keep in mind that this is the kinda fish place where they offer bibs for the potential fish flying around from the chow down. The Rockin Shrimp Po Boy was on point. We also had this pretty good sized bucket with a variety of fish and crustaceans. And it was all really good! read more

We had a blast at Rockin Cajun in Carson! We arrived around 12:30 p.m. on a Saturday, just after they opened at noon. Parking was easy, even on a busy plaza. The staff was so welcoming, and we were seated right away. The place is spacious, with long table sections perfect for bigger groups. The atmosphere really transports you to Louisiana, with everything feeling authentic! If you're a seafood fan, this is the spot for you. But no worries if seafood isn't your thing--they have a wide variety of other dishes, including Poboys, Pastas, and Plates. I'm a seafood lover, so I didn't get to try it, but I saw the portion size from the lady who ordered it and it was huge! We started with these amazing loaded fries. The fries are perfectly seasoned and topped with fresh, delicious lobster bits. For our main course, we got Boil Combo #2, which includes 1 lb of snow crab, and I chose 3 lbs of other seafood: head-on shrimp, crawfish, and mussels. It also comes with sausage, potato, and corn. It was truly the highlight of our meal. The seafood was fresh, and the Cajun sauce medium spice was just right. We ordered a side of rice with it, and it was the perfect combination, though the rice portion was a bit small. We also tried their specialty drink, strawberry lemonade. Overall, this place is a must-visit if you're in the area. Our server, Serenity, was so attentive and friendly, making the dining experience very pleasant. We're definitely coming back to try their other dishes. Thanks @rockincajunca! read more

I used to really like this place. My last visit put such a bad taste in my mouth I refused to eat what I ordered. I walk in and the employees are looking me up and down and end up pointing towards the dining room telling us we can sit anywhere (where's the hospitality, but alright). I asked about alcoholic drinks thinking maybe I'd get a run-down or a menu, but all I got was "everything is wine-based". I turn to look at the bar for maybe a special or something written somewhere, and the server reiterates sternly that the drinks are wine-based. I let her know I'm ok and she insists to keep poking at me mentioning "water?, water?".... I just said I was okay? But sure bring the water (that I never touched). I ended up ordering a side of veggies that I left on the table. My boyfriend ate but was visibly irritated with me. Didn't realize an innocent lunch suggestion of this place would turn me into the bad guy for the remainder of the day. Idk felt discriminatory if you ask me, but it's cool, they don't have to worry about me ever again. I'm sure it was just me since I can have that effect on haters lol, but best of luck to future patrons. read more

Their shrimp has a lot of flavor. I usually get the Cajun sauce Mild with the head on, it is an enjoyable spicy. The only thing is I wish they would use fresh garlic chunks in their sauce instead of jar diced garlic. Their potatoes, corn and sausages are well made. They have a variety of delicious lemonades, one glass is honestly enough. Their crab was also yummy but just lacked flavor, but I think crab doesn't have much flavor in general. Their calamari is very flavorful and chewy. Their fries are good as well. Another dish I've tried was their jambalaya which was not good at all, it had a bit of a weird taste. I would never recommend it. Service is okay. They did forget to give us clippers to open the crab legs and they did not offer us bibs or gloves. However, they do check up on you and they are friendly servers. Which creates an inviting ambiance. Every time I go there is either no wait time or a wait of 15 minutes. Very speedy service. read more

AH. THE FOOD WAS A MISS FOR ME, SUPER PRICY AND WISH THE SPICE LEVEL WAS ACTUALLY SPICY. Let me start off by saying I didn't love it. Here's why: FOOD: 2.5/5 The clams were my favorite, hands down. But that's where it pretty much ended. We ordered combo 1, and a friend platter. The 4 chicken wings that came with the $24.00 platter, had no flavor, no sauce, just sprinkled parmesan? It was fried and dried chicken. Parmesan Garlic is supposed to be wet! Lol. The catfish was...not like boiling crab, Hot and juicy, or any other place we have had it at. It came with one weird tartar sauce that wasn't good, and it did nothing for the bland catfish. The breading was for a chicken tender? It just fell off and tasted like nothing! The whole fried platter didn't measure up one bit. The crawfish, and shrimp in the seafood boil were okay- but the sauce did nothing for the seafood. There was no spice, and they were extremely SKIMPY on the sauce. Maybe due to it being close to closing time? Who knows. All in all, a total let down. PRICE: 2/5 I LOVE CATFISH, and my partner loves Chicken wings. So we ordered the pick 2 of the fried section. I don't think the $24.00 4 piece wings and fries was worth it one bit. The 3 small pieces of catfish wasn't up to par like Boiling crab. Then, the $59.00 seafood boil seemed to have NO sauce. Only a glob of garlic (and i love garlic) sitting on top. It was sooooo dry!! The lemonade was $5.00, (it wasn't anything bc special) the extra sauce was $4.00! Now that is was really pissed me off LOL. How are you going to charge us $4.00 for extra "spicy" sauce, because our food is dry and tasteless. Then, has the nerve to call it "extra spicy" their spice level is completely OFF. Or they have us the wrong side of sauce? I really don't know because Nothing was spicy???? What i do know is Our grand total of $104.00 was not worth it. All around: 2.5/5. I know they have 116k followers on Instagram, but in person, it it totally didn't deliver like the way it does on pictures on the gram. I didn't enjoy the majority of the food, and we will not be back. Like another person said, If you're looking for a place like boiling crab / Hot and juicy crawfish- you will not find that here. However the service is okay, the place is very clean, and what I didn't like, you may enjoy! read more

PLEASE come here for shrimp boil. Everything from the service to the location is TOP TIER. Not to mention, it's a mom and pop shop so like, COME ON Y'ALL!

We got champagne, oysters, pasta and the deal they have for 19.99 for a pound of shrimp with sausage, potato, corn and rice INCLUDED - do I need to say more? The pasta was a pasta was great because we love garlic and the oysters instantly boosted our serotonin levels! The staff: Truly incredible, like everyone else says, they truly are just always a gem, the wait is never long and they actually give you recommendations so you save money!
