    The shrimp here is always amazingly fresh--much larger and juicier than at other restaurants, which keeps me coming back. The crab shack garlic fries are perfectly crispy and addictive. When I visit with my kids, we always go for the family size, and the combination of fresh shrimp and flavorful sauce is simply unmatched. With friendly service and a warm atmosphere, this place is one of our absolute favorites.

    Easily one of the best cajun places ive been to. The shrimp taste decently fresh and their house sauce (some short of cajun) was pretty amazing. They give you a decent amount of sauce too. I had leftover sauce that i dipped my fries in. The calamari was decent, just too much breading. I could barely taste the calamari itself. It is a huge portion with fries though, so that's a plus. The best part is, they have gloves so you can keep your hands clean. Service here was good, they constantly checked in to see if i needed anything. Definitely will be back!

    The BOMB clam chowder.

    We had planned on going to another place after seeing Fiddler on the Roof at the nearby La Mirada Theater, but when we got there the menu didn't suit any of us. A few doors down was The Crab Shack, the menu looked good, so we went there. The atmosphere was fun and it smelled amazing. We ordered the soft shelled crab appetizer with onion rings, sweet potato fries, a burger and clam chowder. There were three soft shelled crabs, so perfect to share with the three of us. Crispy, juicy and flavorful, I'm still thinking of them. The onion rings and fries were delicious as well. The clam chowder was THE BEST we'd ever had!! And we are clam chowder eaters!! Real clams, in their shells, as well as large clams, celery and potatoes-sooo good! The burger was big, juicy and had bacon in the patty. I got two to go for hubs and son at home. The service was excellent, good suggestions from the server. Very nice establishment. I'm so thankful to have stumbled onto this little gem.

    We opted to try this place once we were unable to add ourselves to the waitlist at boiling crab. There was no wait here, we were seated right away. We ordered a pound of shrimp each. They are unable to do half orders. We also got fries and garlic noodles to share. The garlic noodles were tasty but they were lacking some spice. The sauce the shrimp comes in was good but different than what I'm used to. The fries took longer than anything else to be ready so that was a little odd. We had plenty of leftovers and the server even offered a to go cup for my drink.

    Love from. The owner. This dude can cook

    Ophelia was amazing. Super sweet and offered some great suggestion. What a score. Definitely my near home go to spot. We ordered waaaay too much food and absolutely everything was good. What you do, you have to try the crab fried rice. OMG

    Cute activity for kids

    I was craving seafood boil and ask my friends to join me at crab shack. This was only 10 minutes from my house but I've never dined here until today. I'm not a huge fan of the other popular place (Boiling.....) because it gives me an upset stomach every time I go eat there. So I've decided to give this place a try. We got the number one combo which came with three items of your choice. The clams, shrimp and crawfish were all fresh. However, I wasn't a huge fan of their sauce. That's where my 3 stars come in. And the corn had zero sweetness but the sausage was good. We all enjoyed our margaritas and our server was very attentive. Not bad but the flavor wasn't too exciting and felt it was missing a key ingredient.

    Combo #2 w Snow Crab Legs

    Looking for something to have for dinner with my girlfriend and pirates kitchen had good yelp…read morereviews. We walked in and were seated immediately. Ordered drinks, and perused the menu. We settled on an order of garlic noodles with garlic bread for a starter and the seafood boil for 2 as a main. We substituted scallops for the craw fish as neither of us are big craw fish fans. There was an upcharge which we were fine with. The food came out quickly and was nice and hot. Since we ordered the everything seasoning it was well spiced and flavorful. We ate as much as we could and got a to go bag for the rest. It was more than my girlfriend could eat as leftovers the following day. Price was reasonable and the food was good quality and generous servings. We will return. Nice mom and pop restaurant feel, eat local.

    Ordered 1lbs of shrimp head on mild was ok…read more1lbs of clam mixed seasoning 1lbs of shrimp peeled Cajun fries Chicken tender Garlic noodle, tastes good but small portion. My personal favor is cajun style head on shrimp. Fresh, not too salty, little bit different taste compare to boiling crab, but I liked it. Different but delicious~ Added potatoes, corn, and sausages. They gave us large potatoes, and liked it!!! Fried side order was great. Very crispy and good price. The chicken tender meat was fresh. Must order one steamed rice and mixed with sauce for the last steps. Yum~~ Nice service!!! Very clean restaurant!!! Definitely coming back!!!
