I love this place, food and service is always great. They have your order out within minutes depending on how packed they are, sauces are amazing and size orders as well!!

I absolutely loved it! I'm so happy there's a good crawfish boil spot in Downey. It was my first time trying it here, and it was super amazing. The food was really good. Although there was a bit of a wait, we were seated in about 20 minutes.

Great food.. excellent flavors. 3rd visit here. Service is quick and friendly. The Whittier location seems to have a distinctive clear taste of flavors while this location is a bit muddled. Overall a delightful place fo eat. Mussels, wings, crab, oysters n shrimp were excellent.

Great Cajun place. When they throw out a fresh plastic table "cloth" you know the place is legit. Meal was out fast and came in a bag. Never say a piece of silverware! And that's a good thing! Shrimp is frozen, but that's kinda expected for the weat coast. Hard to tell though. Corn, potatoes and sausage are excellent as well. Calamari was a little overcooked for me, but tasted good. I need a place like this back home!

Visiting from NorCal. Called 2 minutes before arrival and they said no wait got there had to wait 10 minutes. We sat down at 8pm, tables are very small and sitting is cramped. Service was kind and prompt. Food arrived at table quickly and portions were generous. Sushi was average and seemed to cater to local clients. Overall was a solid 3 stars.

The staff was friendly. The quality of the seafood was really good. Everything tasted fresh. We got the stinkin combo that comes with crawfish, shrimp, clams, and mussels. The sauce itself was a bit bland. You could see garlic all over the bag but I didn't even taste it. If the sauce was better they'd be really good. I really liked that they give a bowl of limes right away and they also give free dessert of fried Oreo and ice cream. My wife really liked the way they make their michelada.

If you’re in the area and craving Crawfish, Crab Legs, or Shrimp this is the place for you. I’ve been here twice and the food is so scrumptious. The prices are reasonable and the portions are suitable. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Great price, love mild stinkin special half pound Great for solo. My 2nd choice for seafood, currently they have outdoor eating they close at 9pm but they stay open until about 10 for customers that stay chilling, last call is 8:30pm. Great service complimentary fried oreo with ice cream dessert. The specials are great went with a party of 8 still had left overs from 1 triple threat special and one with crab, lobster, and shrimp. I will like to mention the crab leg cracking things broke they were cheap plastic died on the first attempt we had one that we all had to share that didn't break. But overall it was my families first time going and my third they would all agree they would come again.
