Amazing place! My fiancé and I came here for a little date night. The waiter was super cool and told us his recommendation. We ordered it and the food was amaazzzzing! You get a lot of food. It's a little pricey so expect to pay a good $100-$130 for 2 but it is sooooooo worth it!! read more

Akitaca Crab - Love this place. ! - Seafood Near Me - Modesto, California

Food was delicious, service was consistent and matched the awesome vibe of the place. Jordan was our server and he definitely made the experience one to come back for . read more

We always have a good meal here! & the service is top tier if you like spicy they can make it spicy!

I went here for mother's day celebration with my family. I liked their food and the service was excellent. This is similar to Boiling crab. Seafood that was cooked cajun style and served on a plastic bag that you open and eat by using your hand. They also give you bib and disposable hand towels to clean after. I will definitely go back here again read more

By far...... the BEST crab place in town! Tried Red Lobster.... Meh. Tried Bag O Crab. It was ok....... I will do Akitaca anytime. All hostesses are honest and hardworking. Bartender is great and always has consistently good spirits. We have the Party of 2 on the special menu. Pour it on the table and dip away. Always hot and fresh. read more

The staff was friendly, but the service was seriously lacking. We asked for water and napkins multiple times, but they never arrived. I ordered a combo, and the person who brought our food said they would return with the rice, but they never did. We reminded them again, yet it still never came. In the end, we had to go up to the front to pay since no one brought us the check, even after asking. Unfortunately, the poor service really took away from the experience. read more

Our server was Malani. She was very friendly and answered all our questions. The food was ok What killed it for us is the LOUD music. My anxiety is HIGH and I can't wait to get out of here. We won't be back read more

I had ordered the Akitaca special and it came with 1lbs of snow crab legs, 1lbs of shrimp head off, and 1lbs of craw fish. For the sauce, I had gotten the house special sauce and it was delicious but a little salty, that's why it's important to use the lemons that they give you for the sauce as well. I had also gotten 2 portions of white rice and the spicy garlic noodles which were absolutely delicious as well but do keep in mind, it was a tad bit spicy. The seafood was really fresh as well and this spot is way better than bag o crab in terms of everything, from the seafood, to the garlic noodles, and the sauce as well. The service was not bad as well, as I did get the order togo and ate it at home. The ambiance was also not bad, while waiting to pick up my order, there were quite a bit of people in the restaurant and there was also music being played on the speakers so it wasn't quiet at all. read more

This place always hits the spot, the prices isn't too bad. I honestly prefer this than bag o crab

I eat here as often as I can. Place has good music,, managers a good dude, staff are always pleasant. Most of all the food pretty

Walking in place was nice. We were seated. Party of 12. No one came to take orders for drinks or tell about menu. Finally the bar tender came and took our drink orders. He acted like we were a problem being a large group. Said only 2 checks can be done. One person ordered a mojito. We got our drinks and the mojito never showed up. I asked if the music could be turned down, very hard to have a conversation with our group. The bar tender said NO, it was set and to "party more", I didn't come to party came to enjoy seafood. So, no won't come back when I can't have a conversation with my own party. We finally after 45 min got our food ordered and then waited almost 50 min to get food. 10 of us got our dinners. 2 sat and waited . The waiter asked 3 times what they ordered. Would leave and come back again and ask. One guy got his food and my husband didn't and the waiter had to ask a fourth time what he ordered. He ordered a fried shrimp basket, not hard to make with fries. People came and left from eating after we got there and left before us. My husband got his dinner when we were all done eating. The table is sticky and so is the floor. The food was really good. Will not come back due to the service. Getting together with friends when you can't have a conversation is not fun. Overall, very disappointed with the service and that made my decision not to be back. Could be a great place if service was better and music not so loud. Hope owner reads these reviews. read more

Well, what to say!!! The host was very smug and condescending to our party. Also, a little too touchy feely. Music was way too loud and we were told it couldn't be adjusted and we just needed to party more!!! Really, just not customer oriented at all. The food quality met our expectations when it finally got delivered. It took almost 1 hour to get our food and almost an hour from delivery of the first plate to the last person getting their meal. Unfortunately, we will not visit again. read more

All I have to say is DELICIOUS! This was my first time trying this restaurant and I really enjoyed it. We were seated right away it was nice and clean. My husband and I had not had this type of food our server Ivette was awesome; she explained everything clearly and was nice and attentive. We shared combo number 1 cause I can't eat much these days. We were both full and happy. Can't wait to go back. read more

Akitaca Crab - Cajun Style Catfish - Seafood Near Me - Modesto, California

We really wanted to like this place, but sadly, the customer service has been anything but great. I have been coming here many times with my work, my family, and even just for a casual night out. The food is good, but it can't compensate for how terrible the service is. Every single time that we are here, there's always something going wrong. The customer service is terrible. They will mess up and blame it on the back of the house and not take responsibility as a whole team and one restaurant. I am confused why it's always "they mess up." "The back messed up. Look I put the order in." Instead of "sorry. Our team messed up. Let me try and fix it for you." Are you one restaurant or individual here? I have done my fair share as a waitress years ago, have been to many restaurants, this place gets a zero on customer service. It's not that difficult or hard to grasp on how to be a decent person. If this was your family, friends is this how you would treat them or want them to be treated when they are going out? Probably not. I am appalled at the lack of decency here. The waitress picks and choose who they want to be nice to, which is unfortunate and feels like age, group, or racial discrimination. I wouldn't bring up the race card but clearly they point fingers, talk in Spanish with tables around us thinking we wouldn't understand. Some examples of the terrible experience we got here- completely our fault for even trying to give grace and second, third even fourth chances of redemption. We came on a busy holiday, which is understandable. Waiting is long; we waited 2 hours. It's totally not the restaurant's fault. We waited another 1.5 hours for our food to come, yet a few tables who were seated after got their food first with the same order as us (they were a much bigger party too. ) Whatever, we just wanted to eat since we had already waited for so long. As we brought it up, they denied and denied that it was their fault. Not a simple sorry. The waitress proceeded to point fingers and talk about us at her other Hispanic tables. Even though my fiancé and his family are Hispanic, we can totally understand everything they said. Laughing and pointing at us. We asked to speak to the store manager, but he came over drunk off his ass. Once again, blaming everything else but taking accountability for the rude Mexican bitch who took our order and then went and talked shit to another table, thinking we didn't have a clue what she said. Nasty behavior. We came once again, and at this point, it's our fault for even coming back. I won't be making that mistake again. Busy night. Busy graduation day. We waited 2 hours. Which was fine. We were willing to wait to celebrate our graduate. As we sat, the waitress already had an attitude. We saw it was busy, and they were closed at 9:30 p.m. We sat by 10 p.m. with a few other tables just seated. Two parties came later than us and were seated first, even though they don't take phone reservations of any sort. Ok, we noticed. Whatever. We were seated. We wanted to order, eat, and get out of there so they can get our table out to close. So we mentioned to our waitress, "Hey, btw, we are ready to order." She has the nastiest attitude about it. Just trying to make her job easier, as many times we have been here, they have rushed us to order and said, Are you ready yet? We ordered. My father-in-law mentioned he wanted a bottle and not a tap. She bought him a tap beer; he told her instantly he asked for a bottle and hasn't even taken a sip yet, so she can take it back. She argued and proceeded to mention she heard tap and said she had to find someone else to give it to, and she rolled her eyes in front of our whole family. Even though we have seen them give out shots and drinks all the time.... What kind of service is that? If someone mentions that they want a bottle, just go get them one. Simple. There is no need for the attitude and remarks. To think this place hires girls with these nasty attitudes... The owner looks and seems like a nice guy. But he needs to check on these waitresses of his. They are mean girls and always have the nastiest attitude. Clearly, she was Hispanic because she proceeded to go to another table, laugh, mock us, point fingers, and talk in Spanish, thinking we wouldn't understand, yet my whole family was Hispanic. Second time this happened here. To treat someone like that, let alone your own race, is pathetic. I wouldn't even bring up the race card if it wasn't for them pointing fingers and talking in "their language," thinking we wouldn't understand. It's unfortunate that some people lack common sense and have behaviors that are nonetheless inhuman. read more

Akitaca Crab - A pound of king crab with a side of noodles and dungeoness crab with Cajun butter $130- Evette was the best server. - Seafood Near Me - Modesto, California

I've been meaning to leave this review for awhile! I cannot believe I been sitting on this place!! I recently went to try it out because I live crab! I was not disappointed. My waitress was Yvette and she was so friendly and patient. She took her time to explain the menu and options we had. I got bucket of crab legs and it was delicious!!! So much flavor. They also have good music playing and drink specials. I would recommend this over any of the others around here; Red Lobster. Bag o crab....!! Give them a try!!! read more

Giving 2 stars, one for our server and one for the food. My Fiancé and I went to go try this new place out for our anniversary. We heard good things about it however, we didn't get a good experience at all. As soon as I walk in I checked in and was put on a wait list. We sat at the bar for 15 mins and there was no bartender. We had intentions of ordering a drink while we waited but that's okay. The girl at the hostess stand with the lip piercings scream "party for Katy" and within seconds later before we could even get up from our chair she said "no party for Katy" and we have to reassure her we were very much there. Rude and impatient but it's okay. We sat at our table for 28 minutes with NO service. The table behind us got up and said something. We were greeted by a very friendly server named Yvette. She apologized for the inconvenience and assured us she was helping our original server Giovanni out. She was friendly and attentive and made us completely forget we had waited 28 mins with no service. We ordered our food and enjoyed it. We thought it was a lot but what do we know we are first timers! Our server Giovanni checked in on us a couple times and he was very nice as well. When we paid our tab we had noticed we were charged $69 for a meal instead of the $58 one we had originally ordered. When we left we went back to the not so friendly hostess and she was once again not so friendly about it. She made us feel like it was our fault and we told her we didn't order that meal. The male bartender had then joined in the conversation as he was using the computer and they had called Yvette over. When they told Yvette what we had said she said "I was in a hurry helping them out it was their for time and they waited 30 mins I rang in the wrong order by mistake they ordered the $58 special" the male bartender looked at the female hostess and told her Yvette had to pay us back the difference out of her own pocket. We were extremely frustrated because that is not okay. Them as MANAGERS should have taken accountability and should have handled the situation themselves. Mistreating your employees in front of paying customers is completely unacceptable. Our servers were the ONLY friendly staff members and I highly suggest the owners to have a very much needed conversation with the "managers". I mean one of them did serve a minor a strawberry margarita with alcohol after her parents had clearly ordered a non alcoholic one. I worked in the restaurant and bar industry for 10+ years and NEVER have I witnessed such poor behavior as a patron. Will only be back to see Yvette. P.s. customers pay a lot of money to eat at a restaurant like this. Treat them with kindness! read more

Great staff, great food, the seasoning was spot on. I ordered the combo #2 with shrimp, crawfish and mussels with hot cajun seasoning. It was hot but as with the flaming hot Cheetos movie...IT WAS AN AWESOME HOT! Highly recommend. I hope this restaurant continues to flourish. read more

This place is perfect! Service was great & the food was DELICIOUS! We ordered the meal for 2 for $75. Everything was cooked perfectly. The visit was over 10 days ago, so I regret not having much info now, but guys, this is definitely the place if you're feeling like some bomb seafood. We will definitely come back for date night or with our kids. We felt guilty not bringing our seafood loving kids with us. Enjoy!! read more

This is our 3rd time coming here and every time the food has been on point! Service has also been great, the wait staff really know their menu and food! Definitely recommend it! P.S. if you are a boiling crab fan, this place is pretty much the most similar in our area to it! read more

Akitaca Crab - Bag of shrimp, bag of snow crab legs both seasoned with house special sauce. And lemon pepper wings - Seafood Near Me - Modesto, California

I am a seafood lover and this place did not disappoint, customer service was superb, place is clean and the price can't be beat. For $65 we tried the akitaca special - hubby and I chose crab, shrimp and clams 1lb each and this comes with 2 sweetcorns, & potatoes. The portions were good for more than 2 people. Im not into cajun sauce so we picked garlic butter + lemon pepper and mild spicy. It tasted so good:), the only thing we were looking for was garlic noodles, guy said they're still working on it so we got rice. Our kid's tenders and fries were good too and big portions. We will be back:), finally we have one right here in motown. read more

Food is great and fresh. They also have a full bar. Staff has always been wonderful and accommodating.

By far THE BEST!!! place in Modesto to go for Cajun style Seafood. I've never been to New Orleans but I would almost bet this place could give them a run for their money down in the bayous of Louisiana. My mom had the fried oysters and they were the size of golf balls their french fries that you can tell they changed their oil keep their oil clean I had the best sweet potato fries and shrimp po boy and my son had a combo number four with snow crab legs; shrimp;crawfish;potatoes; corn; sausage and an egg. Food was DELICIOUS and prices are very reasonable. read more

Very good service. Fun experience. The garlic butter sauce was not garlic butter, but an oil-based sauce with garlic. There was only one crab cracker at the table, and it wasn't super quality. The food was tasty. Their mild is still spicy. So be aware of that if you like no pepper at all. We will probably return to try their other options. We had the Party on the Table for 2. There was definitely enough for 2. read more
