Best seafood boil I’ve had in years! We watched the Super Bowl here and really enjoyed the environment. Kaylee was an amazing server and Ben was hilarious. Great hosts. Even better seafood boil. I forgot to grab photos of the food but here’s a video of what we ordered. Thank you!

Food was very good, seafood was really fresh! Our server told us she recommended the Dungeness crab (since it was in season) and it did not disappoint! We chose the mild house sauce which had its own unique flavor, it was different to the normal flavor we have in San Diego but it was still delicious. The boil bag we ordered came with 1/2 pound shrimp, a whole HUGE crab, potatoes, corn, sausage and lastly a delicious side of garlic noodles. They also had Thai tea which was perfectly made. I would definitely come back if I’m in the area again.

Review for Cajun House Cajun House exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable, and the enjoyable atmosphere set the tone for a perfect dining experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our server, Haley, was absolutely top-notch! She was attentive, fun, and made sure we had everything we needed without missing a beat. Her friendly demeanor truly enhanced our experience. The food was nothing short of amazing—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every bite was a testament to the quality and care they put into their dishes. A special highlight was when the owner, Ben, took the time to come out and mingle with guests. His genuine hospitality added a personal touch that made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a place with outstanding service, incredible food, and a warm, friendly vibe, Cajun House is the spot. We can’t wait to come back!

The oysters are great, definitely worth getting them. We got a seafood boil B for 2 people and it was the perfect amount. Gets a bit messy with your hands but that is the fun of a seafood boil

The atmosphere was really nice, with R&B music playing in the background. We started with the gumbo, which was delicious and a great appetizer for our dinner. The boil was also fantastic, with a sauce that was unlike anything we’ve had before. We chose the snow crab legs with corn on the cob and sausage at the second spiciest level. It wasn’t that spicy for us,, but we tend to like our food really hot. We also tried the calamari, chicken strips, and fries—all of which were great. The owner, Ben, was super cool, accommodating, and even playful with our 2-year-old. Thanks for a great experience!

Surprisingly very very good. Unfortunately crawfish weren’t in season when we went, but their crabs and shrimp boils were incredible. I don’t think you can do better in SF for this style of food. Will be back in crawfish season!

Delicious! We ordered the cajun chicken wings, seafood combo B and gumbo with crawfish. Everything was flavorful and not overly salty. The chicken wings were the highlight for sure. It was super tender on the inside and extra crispy on the outside. Came out piping hot. The servers were friendly. Will come back with friends next time.
