It turned out even better. Everyone loved it, and it was my sister's first time trying real crab legs, which made it extra special. The pricing is fair and one bag was more than enough for the three of us. Huge shoutout to Juan. His service completely turned my mood around. He is always so attentive and genuinely makes us feel valued every time we come in. This place has easily become my favorite and experiences like that are exactly why.

The service was good, but the ambiance was not exactly what I would normally go for. Mexican seafood and the music matched. But all around, a nice place to eat and have a few drinks.

How have I walked by this place dozens of times and never tried it out? We went last night and we…read morewere blown away. Even though it was 6:15 on a Saturday night, we were able to be sat right away. As soon as we walked in, someone greeted us and showed us to our table. Our server immediately got us waters and asked if we wanted anything else to drink (wife and I both got some delicious beers that they had on tap). We had our little one in tow with us and they were so accommodating to him! As soon as we were ready, our server took our order. We got: Chowder "frots" (fries and tots mixed in with some New England clam chowder, bacon, onions, cheese, and other goodies) 10/10, would definitely order again. My wife got the lobster roll with a side of clam chowder. Loaded with lobster, but you do pay the price. Labeled as market price, this was almost $40. Delicious, but not worth it in our opinion. 6.5/10. Pan roast (house specialty which came with shredded crab, shrimp, clams, and muscles). This, topped with rice, was heavenly. Better than any pan roast I've had. Came out ripping hot as it should. My wife was envious of my dish. 10/10 From the kids menu we also ordered the chicken Alfredo. My kid loved it, but my wife and I both had a bite and wow, we would've ordered that for ourselves it was so good. 10/10. We can't wait to come back just for the food. On top of that, however, service was above and beyond. The servers and everyone in the restaurant were so accommodating to us and our child and made us feel so, so welcome. We would come back even if the food was bad, solely for the service we received. Vibes we great, decoration on the walls look like they hired an artist to paint it. They had two TV's behind the bar / prep area that was showing NBA and PGA which I'll never complain about. All around 10/10 experience.

Po boy had nice crispy shrimp on a fresh roll. Comes with a side of fries. Pan roast was a nice creamy broth with shrimp mussels and crab. Comes with a side of rice. Mac and cheese was a pretty big portion for a kid, really cheesy and rich. Overall pretty good meal and surprisingly pretty affordable considering the cost of seafood. Service was attentive. Would recommend.

We had the calamari which was not bad, the batter could've been crispier, but the calamari with the sauce was tasty. Also had the oysters which were fresh and plump. For entrees, I had the jumbalaya which was assembled nicely, the rice and shrimp could've had more meat flavor, or have more sausage added, but overall it's a decent dish. We also had a pound of shrimp all hooked up with all the sauces combined, and that was super flavorful. Finally, service was good, I remember there was even a bottle of bubbly lemon water specifically for washing hands that was super cool and added to the experience. I definitely would like to come again in the future!

Pricing is OK -- it's more expensive than places in North OC/LA or even Santa Ana, but obviously not as expensive as a touristy spot like Santa Barbara. Parking could be a challenge on weekends and meal times -- during peak times, we avoid the main lot and parking garage, and go straight to the extra lot off of Alton (next to H-mart on the other side of the driveway). Wait time is usually about 30 minutes during peak times. For our family of 4, we usually get Combo 3 plus an appetizer and extra sides like pasta or rice. Comes out to about $200-$250. Service is inconsistent. Sometimes we get great service, other times, we're waiting to get gloves and water refills.

Pretty tasteless food. I threw most of mine out. What a waste of nearly $20.00. I gave 2 stars bc the fish and the sliced limes were fresh, host was friendly.

I've driven past Hot N Juicy Crawfish in Fountain Valley many times but never stopped in until now…read more We were looking for a happy hour that ran into the evening, and their 3-7 PM happy hour was exactly what we needed. There were five of us and were seated immediately on a Wednesday at 530pm. We ordered the Cajun fries, mozzarella sticks, shrimp po'boy, catfish po'boy, green mussels, no-head shrimp, fresh clams, and frozen crawfish (they were out of fresh crawfish and étouffée). Everything was so good that we ordered a second round of almost everything again but with black mussels and head-on shrimp. The head-on shrimp was definitely better than the no-head shrimp. Everything was coated in the Hot N Juicy seasoning, and it was delicious. My favorite was the fresh clams--they were a great size, packed with flavor, and had a subtle sweetness that paired perfectly with the seasoning. The head-on shrimp was my second favorite, followed by the mussels. The frozen crawfish was surprisingly good, but I'm looking forward to trying the fresh crawfish next time. The Cajun fries were tasty, but the portions are small, so we ended up ordering two baskets. The mozzarella sticks were just okay and not something I'd order again. Several of us ordered margaritas (I had the mango), but I wouldn't recommend them. They come in a tall glass instead of a traditional margarita glass and tasted more like a soju-based cocktail than a margarita. Service was decent, but a little slow considering the restaurant wasn't very busy. Overall, the food exceeded my expectations, and the happy hour prices make this a great value. I'll definitely be back for the fresh crawfish and, especially, the clams!

I visited this establishment for evening rations after Sunday evening church service…read more I was seated rather promptly. I asked for "wooder" to drink and it had a rather strong taste of chlorine. Because of the chlorine taste I am dinging this establishment one point. I ended up ordering Dr. Pepper and got free refills. I really wish Pepsi would have been available. I ordered the Catfish Basket which had four pieces of catfish and French Fries. The food was tasty but I really should have ordered the catfish without any spices. Men's washroom was clean but lacked paper towels so I am dinging this establishment one point for that. As far as personal appearance of the employees is concerned I am glad to see the guys wore their t shirts tucked in which I consider to be professional. I did notice one of the employees wore Black Levi's. At the conclusion of my visit I was given a peppermint and a little moistened hand towel which I thought was a nice touch. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school this establishment would be in there solid with a C.

We are regulars at the diamond jamboree location so we knew what we wanted before we even walked in the door (2lbs head off shrimp kickin style, mild spice, add 3 corn and 3 potatoes).We also asked for gloves. The waitress did not repeat our order (this will be important later). The food came but they had forgotten the gloves which was no problem until we had been sitting there locking eyes with all the servers walking past us for 10 mins until I stood up and stopped one of them to ask for gloves. This wasn't ideal and then we realized that the order was also wrong as our sauce was clearly not kickin style sauce. The shrimp and corn were good despite our sauce being wrong. The potatoes were kind of hard and undercooked. However the ambiance was lively and I was very happy to have the World Cup games on the tvs. They dropped off the receipt and did not inform us we had to walk up to the front to pay as we sat there waiting for them to come charge us so we could leave. A mention of payment method would have been nice. Overall 3/5 we had a good time but these are things the diamond jamboree location hasn't errored on once in many trips.
