    Ordered 1lb. Peeled stinkin medium. I had to pour the whole thing out of the bag because it was mostly the liquid you see there. There should be sauce to coat the shrimp, not a soup with shrimp! Had sour after taste. This place was pretty decent in the past, but never again!

    so simple but so amazing. lime wedges and salt

    Two days after my first visit (9/26) and I am still craving that lemon pepper butter with medium heat!!! My friend and I came here as we visit local restaurants. I ordered a bag and my friend ordered the fried catfish with fries. When we walked in around 4:30 the restaurant had a few customers wrapping up their meals. I noticed that instead of getting seated at a table when you walk in you're greeted by the staff and told "take a seat wherever you want" and that's what we did. As the place started to fill groups waited at the entrance until they could be sat. There are big booths, tables and tabletops. Music is playing in the background and it's an overall lively place with a fun atmosphere and super friendly staff. The first thing that came to our table was the limes and salt and I was so happy! I love everything lemony/zesty. When our food came we were doing a happy dance at the table. I had some of my friend's catfish and cajun fries and just WOW!! I ordered a bag with a half pound of their peeled shrimp, some andouille sausage, and corn. As my side I got the garlic bread. My friend sampled some of my food and he agrees...DELICIOUS!!!! My only regret is I didn't have a little Tupperware to put the lemon pepper sauce in because I'm craving it sooo bad! We had a great meal, super reasonable prices and the service. Instead of having one person as a server the employees work as a team with everyone coming around to check on you. When we finished our meal we were pleasantly surprised to find out we get a free dessert :) Just a little scoop of vanilla and what I think is a mini deep fried oreo! Honestly, this place is a gem and I hope it continues to thrive!

    Watery food

    Customer service is okay. Food wasn't what I expected being a seafood eater. They use butter for the base instead of oil and with the butter it's very much watery and doesn't stick to your food at all. None season just right for the diabetics. No shade no tea.

    First and foremost the music was banging! I came her during happy hour. Although I did not get the drinks the seafood broil was discounted. The seafood was so good! The sauce was packed with flavor! I ordered the garlic butter medium and it was perfect! It was not crowded and this was on a Friday around lunchtime. The service was great. Also we got a complimentary dessert deep fried Oreo and ice cream which was also good. Def recommend and would be back again.

    3 pm Saturday party of 2 Somehow I've neverrrr been to a crab shrimp boil spot?! Spot is nice, we were able to slide into a booth. Server was helpful and pleasant. My first time so I let him pick. He ordered the crabby Shrimp combo; Tiger Shrimp, snow crab and Lobster combo with lemon pepper. Comes with fried Oreo and scoop of vanilla. You know we dessert FIRST so there are no wasted opportunities. Combo also included corn potatoes and sausage. Gloves, bib, salt and pepper, lime wedges ready. The bag hit the table and we were off. I really enjoyed everything in the bag. The lime added a nice hit of acid to the flavors. We were right by the windows and I enjoyed the hands on experience against the drizzle outside and all the ambient light. Flavors and execution were done well. Thank you!

    The love is in the food

    The flavor was there but some of the shrimp I couldn't peel without it turning into mush. Way over cooked.

    Hi, I tried calling for the past 2-3 hours and no answer? Am I calling the wrong number or something? All I want to know is if you guys will be open on the 4th of July? Thanks!

    still no answer to this date. Someone update the phone #

    How is the gumbo?

    Sorry, we didn't gumbo.

    Is there a catering menu?

    I believe so but I suggest calling them directly, in my experience they have a knowledge, helpful staff.

    Had to come in for the Ragin Cajun's last call! One last boudin, one last round of oysters, one…read morelast po'boy and one last time to savor the bayou bisque (oh deer God I'm going to miss the bisques!). Grabbed some beignets to go, but kicking myself for not getting the peach cobbler one last time. But will miss the southern hospitality, generosity the owners Lisa & Steve have given to the community. Not just in sponsorships but in their parking lot parties which always showcased great local bands and putting on one hell of a free show for the customers! Their food was always the best this side of the Mississippi and their hospitality the same! Can't wait to see their rebranding and have the same comfort flavors of home!

    A Bittersweet Farewell to a South Bay Icon! I've been coming here (well first in Hermosa then…read moretheir food truck now here) for their entire 31+ years! I couldn't let Ragin' Cajun Cafe close its current chapter without one last visit for that authentic Louisiana soul food. This place has been such a staple in Redondo Beach and South Bay and while I'm sad to see the "Cafe" era end, I'm also excited for what's next - it's sure to be a hit! What I had to say goodbye one last time!? * Seafood Bisque: This was incredibly rich and velvety, as always. You can tell they don't ever skimp on the seafood--it was packed with flavor and the perfect way to start the meal. * Hush Puppies: Golden, crispy, and exactly what a hush puppy should be. They have that slightly sweet cornmeal interior that pairs so well with their savory dishes. Always worth adding! * Combo Jambalaya Plate: A massive portion and pure comfort. The spices were spot on--bold but not overwhelming--and every bite was loaded with meat and perfectly cooked rice. My goto comfort... The Next Chapter: For anyone worried about losing these flavors: don't panic! While Ragin' Cajun is closing, the owner and chef are reopening very soon in the same spot as Redondo Beach Grill. It's the same team and the same talent, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they evolve the menu while keeping that local heart alive. Their email to followers says they will keep a few menu items as well (doesn't say which ones!?) Thank you to the entire crew for years of amazing meals and hospitality. These flavors WILL be missed!! See you at the new, well, same spot (new name and decor!?)

The fried shrimp and fish completely lacked seasoning, the greens had absolutely no flavor, and the potato salad was far too sweet. While the manager (or owner) was very nice and patient when explaining the menu to my grandmother, the bartender was incredibly rude. I stood right in front of her waiting to be served, and she completely ignored me until I spoke up. When I asked about the to-go Hurricanes, she struggled to describe what was essentially an adult Capri-Sun pouch. When I pointed toward a container to clarify, she snapped at me with attitude, "No, that's a wine glass," even though I wasn't pointing anywhere near it. To make matters worse, a single to-go drink is over $20--at that price, I'd rather just buy a whole bottle.
