Love it! Highly recommend great food! Must come , great service!! You will come back for more

Review #1,006 Posted on 2.28.28 We stopped in here on a whim on Friday night the 27th while in town, actually originally to try another restaurant. This spot is in a strip mall on Louise Ave in Manteca. We got greeted & sat right away when we came in. The staff here doesn't stop moving, it's pretty much 3 people on the service side, they take orders, run food, & check on you. I believe the guy who checked on us a lot, I want to say his name was Lieness. Super nice guy, hard worker. The other ladies too. Food was good, for sure it's marked up, but I thought quality of the seafood, and the way it was cooked was good. I've got a high standard for the sauce, this one was for sure spicy, stayed on the seafood and corn pretty well. To me that's how you can separate these boil spots from each other. When you pull the shrimp out of the bag and de-shell it does the sauce drip right off? If it does, to me that's a sign of bad sauce, it's not getting infused on the seafood, corn, potatoes, etc. This spot it was decent, but better than most. Cheese sticks were good, sweet potato fries were too, healthy portion on that. We'll probably come and eat here again for sure down the line. read more

So I came in here, hoping to have some good boiling crab for my birthday and when we first walked in, they had one party in there and we were not acknowledged for about 15 minutes. I should've known them to just walk away. However, we stayed and again, sat for almost 20 minutes with zero acknowledgement. I then start to order and she rudely asks me if I've ever been to a place like this before. Whatever, ok.. So we ordered the trifecta toppings with our bag. The taste was non existent and there was hardly any sauce.. a thin layer at bottom of bag, I shook the bag to try to get the taste throughout what we had ordered and even then it did not help. It was not tasty. The lady was wearing sunglasses the entire time and when I came time to pay, she yells from her little area that we have to pay upfront. It was not a good experience. 90% of it was because of the service she was providing. Rest assured, we will not be back read more

The Cajun Spot - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Manteca, California

placed a to‑go order and when I picked it up, I realized there were no utensils, napkins, or sauce. I went back inside to ask for them. The cashier was helping another customer, so I waited. When another worker came out, I politely said "excuse me" so I wouldn't interrupt anyone. She looked at me with irritation and said, "I'm busy," even though all I needed were basic items that should have been included with my order. While I continued waiting, the cashier who originally took my order noticed me and asked if I needed anything. As she tried to help, the older woman who had ignored me began yelling at her in front of customers. The cashier apologized and went to grab what I needed, while the older woman continued to be rude and dismissive. I asked if she was the owner; she ignored me. The cashier then told me she was the owner's mother. At that point, I let them know I would be leaving a review and requesting a refund. No customer should be treated disrespectfully, and no employee should be yelled at for simply doing their job. The cashier was polite and professional, but the behavior from the owner's mother was unprofessional and completely unnecessary. read more

Well hubby placed an order for pick up only for the spot to mess the order up not sure how that happens but it did. Service was good this spot looks like it needs some updates interior nothing special. Ok the food was nothing special honestly the flavors were basic nothing crazy. Everything was cooked well it fed family of 4 wish there was more excitement on the taste and flavors what was not worth buying was the Chicharrons bland and not that great waste of money. We were just craving a seafood boil and wanted to try this spot probably won't come back read more

Ive been here one time with the whole family and it was really good! Today I called to get a reservation for 15 people and the Asian lady said " oh no to many ppl" I'm like whaaatt!? That's not okay! I just said ok nvm and she responded yea ok bye! Like that's insane to run a business this way and that's definitely not okay I'm pretty upset. read more

My experience was horrible, it was my first time coming in to order food go and it wasn't pleasant.. the Asian lady with the glasses was so RUDES , yell and no customer service etiquette AND I WALKED OUT . Not sure if she was owner of that restaurant or that's way her personality because she's ASIAN. After that there was another customer came up to order she told that customer IM BUSY COME BACK 15mins that's the time I walked out! I NEVER GOT TREATED LIKE THAT JUST ORDER MY FOOD TO GO! read more

First time here and really enjoyed it! The lady behind the counter gave great service she was very attentive and generous. Definitely recommend to get some sauce on the side we both went with the trifecta it was 10/10! My boyfriend got some crab and it was amazing big plus is the scissors that they provide to help cracking those baby open! read more

The Cajun Spot - Pound of shrimp - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Manteca, California

I just got ripped off, I was charged $95 dollars for a one person bucket. Her prices on the menu she hands you are not what is charged. She made sure we sat down instead of ordering from the cash register; where the real prices are hidden. My crawdads were the size of brine shrimp. Everything was covered in a ton of butter. She had the place set at 75, while she was wearing a short sleeve short. Loud Vietnamese music playing. I will never retune here; if you look at my reviews I seldom wrote a negative review ( I'm not a Karen). Please stay away read more

My family and I have been here many times. The food has always been great, but unfortunately the service has consistently been HORRIBLE. We've said multiple times that we wouldn't return, hoping each time that maybe the service would improve -- but this last visit was the final straw. Our server wore sunglasses the entire time and showed absolutely no personality or professionalism. When I asked about the price of an item, she quoted one amount but ended up charging us double. This isn't even the first time we've been overcharged. We gave this place chance after chance because the food is good, but poor service ruins the experience. We've finally decided not to return, no matter how good the food is. read more

The WORST customer service ever. This place used to be our favorite. The new lady running it has terrible customer service. And they don't honor gift cards. So dissapointed they used to be so good !! read more

Trifecta...E'nuff said!! Food is delicious and when I'm craving some Cajun boil this is the spot!! Took my son's to dine in..small but well kept. Service has always been great. read more

I don't think the price matches product food so old and over cooked ................., Last time I checked read more

This place takes forever. The owner needs to hire more people. Cheap owners make the business suffer.. Don't come here if you dont plan on waiting half a day. read more

I honestly don't know what happened to this place, I left to the bay, came back to visit, and boom, that crawfish was small and creepy lookin, that sauce was pure experimenting, bring back the good old days, I think it's ran by different people now. Sad to say, I ain't coming back. read more

Bad service, been in multiple times and the lady is rude. We came multiple times over a hour before closing and weren't able to order.

This woman is a cold piece of work, rude and disrespectful, got orders wrong and has no respect for her employees, left a relative with no food with with a party of 7. read more

We found a spot with good garlic noodles! The boyfriend and i decided to try this place out one weekend. We arrived a few mins after they opened and the place was already packed. We were lucky enough to have a spot. Garlic noodles with sausage (4/5). The dish was oily and the sausage tasted spicy. The dish was pretty delish despite being both oily and spicy. Garlic fries (3/5). The fries were ok. They had fresh garlic bits but the fries seems to be overcooked because they were really crunchy. Chicken tenders with fries (2/5). The chicken tenders were really hard. The batter had way too much flour and also the French fries were overcooked. Chicken tenders ended up being super had the next day since we took it home to eat. Overall, food was good. There was only one waitress that was doing everything all by herself. Service was great despite how busy she was. read more

I must say...the pictures on yelp does not give this place justice. It's actually really nice inside. I would suggest to come in and eat. My order was pretty simple, and tasted great. For larger orders, they would need to confirm your payment with credit card with an ID Their online website was easy to use for ordering to go. Lots of parking but pretty busy location. Pricing is decent read more

The Cajun Spot - A pound of butter garlic shrimp - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Manteca, California

We have been coming to Cajun Spot for a few years now and haven't been in a while - we were unfortunately very disappointed this tine around. We got our usual Bucket #3 and immediately noticed how much smaller the portion is. We used to feed three people on this and now there is barely enough for two. The shrimp were way overdone and rubbery - to the point that the shell stuck to the meat like super glue. The corn and potatoes were mushy and overdone and the pound of crab equaled two small clusters. The trifecta sauce is now sweet and hardly spicy even at the 2nd level. We also made the mistake of ordering two unsweetened iced teas which ended up being two bottles of Pure Leaf Iced Tea that they charge $6 a piece for! Total out the door was $113 after a 20% tip for a meal that was lackluster at best, and way overpriced for the quality it presented. We won't be returning again unfortunately; we can make our own seafood boil for a fraction of the cost and with much better care and quality. read more

The people who work here are the best very kind and on top of everything the food tastes better then the boiling crab this is know my go to place I would highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. I will definitely be back agin. read more

Save your time if you're coming an hour before closing the lady was rude and told us they're not seating people only take out.

This place is good. Service is fast. A small place but has very good food. They have a second location in Tracy as well if you're in that area. read more

The crab is spectacular here ! Always fresh and moist, a treat to enjoy. People here are wonderful, staying on the ball making sure you're happy with your meal keeping your drinks full. If you gotta crab, crayfish or catfish craving this is the place to go. You won't be sorry. Restaurant is very clean and inviting. I live in Hayward my boys live in Galt this is are meetup spot when we want Crab. Always delicious !!! read more

I love their food, it is so good the only downside is the customer service this one older lady who is always there is very rude and short with customers. Is always in a rush and never really acknowledges the customers. Aside from that it's a great spot. read more

Refused to serve a big party 2 hours before closing time, owner was really rude, wasn't nice about now wanting to serve our party

The Cajon Spot is a hidden gem! It is family owned and operated. Food and service are both outstanding. This is the go to spot for our family! read more

The Cajun Spot - French fries and garlic bread. In the bag, 1lb of headless shrimp with potatoes, corn and the trifecta sauce. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Manteca, California

I order my food and hour and a half before I got to the restaurant and when I got there they told me to take a seat and wait for them to make my food. The food was already PAID. Why I had to wait??? Makes no sense. Restaurant only had 2 tables. read more

Great little hidden gem! Nice employees and fun to eat with your hands! You order your fish by the pound (shrimp, different types of crab, crawfish), then you pick your sauce (Cajun, garlic butter, lemon pepper or trifecta (combo of all three)). Then you pick your spice level. You can add potatoes, corn or sausage. Then the fun begins. Your food will come all mixed in a plastic bag and you have to get your hands in there. Huge mess, great flavor and a whole lotta fun! Large parking lot. Not cheap but definitely a treat. read more

Best Cajun spot in town....worst food service ever Asian lady needs help,did phone order and still had to wait 20 mins at the restaurant

We used to love this place, but had a bad experience a few years ago and took a break. we just tried to give it another shot today and the lady taking my husbands order rang up 2 extra pounds of king crab (to the tune of $140) that my husband didn't catch until he paid. He walked outside and caught the mistake, went right back in and they told him there was nothing they could do. Couldn't refund the food we didn't order or anything. They were super unwilling to try to remedy it. My husband had to tell them to cancel the order and we'd just dispute the charge. An occasional extra charge isn't a big deal, but $140 worth of food we didn't ask for or want is crazy. Unfortunately we won't be coming back. read more

Great service. Amazing customer service the woman in the front at the register was very kind and helpful. Food was delicious and fresh, highly recommend this place read more

Yes my gf and I really liked this place is one of my top 3 favorites for Cajun boil. Delicious

Hella fucken rude for no reason im tryna order over the phone and all of sudden no phone orders when I've placed orders over the phone here since 24' , rude ass old lady & food is so mediocre too but Manteca locals are stuck with this crappy ass joint that DOESNT warm up the corn potato n eggs in the boil bags read more

Great food, TERRIBLE service... came in today on a Sunday with the family and the lady working in the front with sunglasses had the rudest attitude ever. Doesn't even greet us as we come and tells us to sit anywhere, basically throws the menus at our table (and she was doing this to other guests as well!), and never checked up on us for refills or anything after we got our food. As she was walking by, my dad goes "excuse me can we please have more water" and she straight up ignores him and THEN 5 minutes later she proceeds to bring us water. Anytime we would ask her for something she would make a nasty face, I totally get if she was having a bad day or whatever but she needs to check herself and her attitude... read more

The service here is amazing, had a conversation with the owner she is amazing her name is Li. I felt right at home. Got the crab legs with the trifecta sauce and it was the best seafood boil we've had this far. My daughters loved it. Ate it so fast we didn't even notice we didn't take any pictures. Must return to this place soon. read more

Only Cajun Spot in Manteca...For now. This place has potential, but will need a little work to make it the main Cajun Spot to go eat. Interior - Clean - Tables and chairs look new - They have 1 TV with the game on Food - Ordered 1 Pound Shrimp, Sausage and Trifecta Sauce Medium - Ordered 1 Pound Crawfish, potatoes, mushroom, corn and Lemon Butter Sauce - Food arrives in a plastic bag sitting on a Metal Tray Cons - Plastic bag that had the cajun food in was small and kept all the un-sauced food at the very top of the bag. - I had to remove some of the seafood out of the bag just so I can dip it in the sauce at the bottom. - The sauce needs work. It looks and tasted just like spicy oil with very little butter and garlic ingredients that makes majority of the flavor. A little bit bigger bag, more sauce and ingredients would definitely make a big difference in flavor and dining experience. Service - this is just me, but I believe they should ask, for example, "Welcome in, for two? Or for three?" if the customers that walk in. Instead of yelling across the restaurant "for here or to go?" - When giving the check, perhaps bring the ticket to the table for the customer to give their card or cash. Overall - Definitely can see this place improving as time goes on. read more

Came here while coming to the great wolf. And I gotta say o was pretty disappointed. Felt like everyone else got catered to and we didn't even get anything. No plates sauces drinks till later nothing. But other tables that came after us was seated drinks brought out plates sauces and Limes. While we Jsut say there got the bare minimum. And not only that. The seafood wasn't even good.. read more

the food is good, but the lady who works in there is very rude and doesn't care about a certain demographic. I've gone in there a few times and she always makes me wait more than everybody else even if my pick up order is ready,and it's just blatantly rude all the time. Horrible customer service from her. I'm telling everybody who I know not to eat there because of the customer service. read more
