If you want seafood & aren't looking for a fancy restaurant, this is your place! Food was good & shrimp a bit rubbery.. I appreciate the king crab came with slits cut on it so you can crack them open easier! I ordered the "Feast Combo 2" which includes half one king crab legs, half pound snow, crab legs, half pound shrimp with no head, one corn, one potato and side of fries! Cost was $66.48 with a pop! read more

Cajun Boil - The meal I got came with fries! Patiently waiting for my seafood boil! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This place is absolutely horrible. Only reason we kept the order is because my girlfriend payed for it and it's their birthday dinner that already was 45 minutes late. Guy at the counter was sooo rude right away which was fun when spending $170. Watched him let my food sit for 30 minutes while I sat in the front. Asked them to remake it which they were super mad about. Know for a fact they didn't remake anything but the fries. Watched the guy while serving us eat, blow his nose then handle all our food. I'd like to think there was some reframing quality but I don't care how good it is at that point. My lady had been buying this huge meal every year from year for years. Next year I'm paying at SOMEWHERE ELSE. This place will be out of business soon anyways. read more

The food here is amazing, affordable, and so delicious. My sister and I shared a boil bag together and it was plenty for both of us. The seasoning was everything we hoped for! The staff member was attentive and informative. The place was clean and the decorations were nice too. I would definitely add more lighting and a few more decorations to really make it pop. It was a little slow for a Saturday and mostly people were picking up rather than dining in. It didn't take long for the food to come out either. Certain drinks were free refills which is always nice. read more

When I came in, the guy running the floor was clearly having a tough time on the phone with support trying to fix the computers. He was very apologetic, and after waiting a pretty reasonable amount of time considering what was happening, I got my order in. The decor was cute in a kinda cheesy way. I don't think I'd even been sat for 5min before I got my first side, then the drink & the rest of my meal shortly after. The guy seemed genuinely friendly without being over-the-top or scripted, the food was pretty good, and it was the perfect amount. I also spent literally only $20 for calamari, 2 sides, and a drink. All in all, a very decent place I'm sure I'll come back to. read more

Food was alright but went to get takeout yesterday and got charged for something I didn't order, didn't realize until I had already got home and opened the bag. I got the Thursday special 2 pound crab and a pound of shrimp, I got charged for the Tuesday special and didn't receive anything for that purchase. I purchased 07-31-2025 Made the post 08-01-2025 Ps. I called and the one who answered said they could give me a full refund or a Tuesday special on Tuesday, they handled it really well and did great. They get my 5 stars! read more

Cajun Boil - Receipt - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Felt like I was back in Biloxi. I was skeptical of a seafood boil in the Twin Cities after living in Southern Mississippi for long periods of time. Even though they were super busy, the service was excellent as was the meal itself. Legit Cajun cuisine and my only suggestion is to arrive early and hungry. read more

Everything was wonderful. From my crab boil bag to my fried catfish even the french fries fries are delicious.

This is my "go to" spot when I want a good and flavorful seafood boil. I give it an 8 out of 10!

Shrimp and Catfish Poor Boy - very good. Not sloppy, but not big. This is a great space on a busy corner, check it out.

Fast service. Great value and good quality. Would come back for sure. Bang for your buck. read more

Shaking my head.. yum jist another Fake Cajun cuisine spot.For the service and food. the price is not worth it. Save your money.

0/10 Worst food I have ever had. Service was bad not attentive at all. I had to ask for the essentials (napkins, gloves bib etc.) "sea food boil" is just oil and a load of it. Left feeling sick and ripped off. read more

BEYOND DISAPPOINTED!!! I do not care about inflation! THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM!!! You feel it's ok to false advertise a meal for three, when in fact, is a meal for one person, $87 for a pound of food?!!! What is wrong with you!!! When my husband called the man was passive aggressive saying he could refund us $3 and give us a damn coupon no man! WHAT We want IS WHAT we paid for! or a FULL REDUND on top of this bs Food was food cold and basic! Thank you for ruining New Year's Eve dinner for us! Will be posting on Yelp with pictures! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! This meal is for 3 people ?!!! How?!!! One potato and one corn.. read more

This place was so bad , the boiling special sauce is terrible and watery and not flavorful, the scallops were overcooked and rubbery , would not recommend them at all. The crab legs were bad because of the sauce and they tasted stale , not fresh at all. The corn was good but maybe avoid this place all together if they only know how to cook corn... read more

I recently had my first seafood boil experience & it was so much fun! We had a messy & super fun experience! Shockingly I seem to spill on myself everywhere I go except when I'm wearing a bib! My friend Ralph also taught me the proper way to enjoy crawfish! We went all out & tried so many great options. Shrimp & Snow Crab Leg Combo - comes with corn & potatoes Black Mussel Clam, & Lobster Tail Combo - comes with corn & potatoes Crawfish - comes w/ corn & potato For the boils you can choose you spice level. We started with a lower spice level on our first boil & then moved up on heat! We didn't do the spiciest. We both enjoyed the spicer one more & kept with the heat for the last boil. We also tried 2 Fried Baskets - shrimp & oyster basket. They came with fries which I enjoyed. The clams were my fav! Definitely check it out if you like a seafood boil! read more

First time in town, and this place isn't too far from my buddies, so we stopped in with high hopes and empty stomachs. I ordered the Catfish Po'Boy and the C6 1/2Lb Crawfish & 1/2lb Shrimp Combo and we split a basket of the Calamari. The Calamari was surprisingly some of the best that I've had in a little while, but I was disappointed that there wasn't a lot of it, it was essentially a basket of fries topped with a handful of calamari pieces. The Catfish served in the Po'Boy was actually fantastic, but I wasn't a fan of the sandwich as a whole, too much bread for my taste, and not big on places that pre-condiment your sandwich unless there's a "special sauce" or something unique going on (that wasn't the case). The shrimp and crawfish combo was delicious, I went with the house mix at a medium heat level and it was perfect for me. The house mix was fantastic and the medium heat level was just enough for an after kick to compliment the house seasonings. All in all I'd say that Cajun Boiling is definitely worth a visit and it's definitely a place I'd consider stopping by the next time I'm in town. read more

****WILL NOT BE BACK ***** I revisited to try out the food & enjoy the service. I still haven't had an opportunity to dine in yet. I placed an order on line, to go of course, for fried fish, steamed rice w/the boiling sauce. I was advised upon arrival that I couldn't have boiling sauce for my rice, since I didn't order the seafood boil. I asked Why, but was advised it was their company policy. Interesting.... Food was good. I was in a deep fried mood. I ordered wings, fried catfish & since I could not eat rice w/boiling sauce, I ordered sweet potato fries. I enjoy the food & it's literally down the street from my home (I live dtwn), but I will drive to Brooklyn Park to the other seafood boil restaurant Cajun Deli. At least I can order boil sauce with my rice there. Lol I won't be back I thought it was rude customer service read more

I had been craving crab legs and feeling extra lazy, so I wanted to find somewhere that delivered. That's actually very challenging around Minneapolis. I have Cajun Boiling a try. Now this isn't some fancy seafood dining, it's messy, juicy, southern cooking. If you enjoy Cajun flavor try this place out. First off, I really liked their menu options. So many things to choose from! We tried the feast #2 combo because it had a good variety. King crab, snow crab and headless shrimp. Plus, a potato and corn. This probably would have been enough for one person but we added some appetizers on as well. Get the Cajun chicken wings!! They were soooo delicious. Just this perfect crispy juicy crunch. The seafood also hit the spot. The king crab was definitely better than the snow crab and I would order straight king crab legs next time. They are just a bigger piece of meat so you really get that juicy taste. I also liked how you could choose the spice and flavor level. The only thing that wasn't the best were the the crab cake and calamari. The calamari were too big of pieces and quite chewy. Be ready to make a mess, but it was worth it. Prices are great for what you get as well. read more

So, Cajun Boiling is at the top of the list of restaurants from which I order through GrubHub. I try to not order from them on a weekly basis, and this has been pretty much a total failure. So much so that I ordered on Saturday and just completed placing yet another a few minutes ago. I always get the same thing, with very few variations: The head-on shrimp with a 1/2 pound of sausage. I see no reason to pay extra for them to remove the heads. Also, it's great to suck on the heads before they go into the discard bowl. I get the House boil with medium heat. Unless I'm eating Asian food, I don't really like my seafood too hot. It, to me, takes away from the unctiousness when non-Asian flavors are introduced. My order is always right and I appreciate that the boil is double bagged. I use the outer plastic bag for the shells from the shrimp, so the mess is minimal. It also keeps my cats from going into the trash to retrieve the shells, so it's a win-win every time. The shrimp is perfectly cooked and easy to peel. The sausage is just a great add, having soaked up that wonderful elixir that is the boiling liquid. The chicken wings and fried rice are also good here. It's something that I throw in when I want a multi-day meal from the restaurant. I actually really like the fried rice, though it's not Asian style at all, to me. It has good flavor and balance and just goes down well. Prior to Covid, I'd stop by the restaurant for take-out every once in a while. Having it delivered makes it even easier for this to be a top choice for me. when I don't know what I want to eat and am only sure that I don't want to cook, this is what I usually get. The customer service has been great working directly with them, though I've not had any issues with orders. They answer questions when you call and don't make you feel like your call is a nuisance. When I'm back to picking up my meals and/or dining in restaurants, I'll be back to in-person dining here. read more

There's been a lot of cajun places popping up in the Midwest, specifically MN lately! This is one of the first few places I've heard of. You already know, growing up in a SE Asian household, that we're all about seafood. I also loved going to the Boiling Crab in CA whenever I get to visit, so you best bet I was hella hyped when there's a similar concept seafood restaurant in MN. My friends and I ordered some things to share because we wanted to try a bunch of things. We got hush puppies, calamari & fries, oysters, and combo of crawfish/shrimp/clams in garlic butter. I actually really liked the oysters because it was flavorful. I also thought the calamari was good, but standard. I didn't really care for the hush puppies. Finally, the combo was enough to satisfy my seafood cravings, but nothing really extraordinary. It was a bit blander than I thought. It was missing the "ummpf" factor... However, I do think everything was decently priced for what you get. Therefore, I recommend coming here with friends, order to share, so that you'll be able to try a bunch of things. OTHER: Service was also a bit slow. We waited about 15 minutes before anyone came by to ask us about ordering.. but understandable since they only had two servers. However, there was also only 2 other tables of 3-4 people...so maybe it was just an off day. Parking was also hard to find...there's a lot in the back of the building that you can easily miss, so drive slow! Overall, I would recommend this place if you want immediate seafood craving when you're in the area. I'm sure there will be more places like this popping up in the neighborhood soon. read more

Cajun Boil - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This place was amazing. Unassuming outside, order at the counter , have a seat ... but when they deliver this food it goes to a whole other level . My husband had the catfish and shrimp combo and said they were perfectly cooked and just the amount of breading . His gumbo with rice had tons of shrimp and okra and just the right heat. My steamed scallops were huge and had the perfect texture and taste (I got them with garlic butter medium heat) . They truly were the best scallops I have EVER eaten. We will be going back for sure ! read more

I ordered the "Feast Combo 2" which is advertised as: 1/2 lb of king crab 1/2 lb of snow crab 1/2 lb of no-head shrimp 1 corn 1 potatoe French Fries (Regular or Cajun) Firstly, I told them I would like to substitute the fries for more corn and potatoes, what I could was one more corn. Bringing me to a total of two corn and one potatoe... But most importantly, there is no way I got a total of a pound of crab legs and have a pound of shrimp. And I have attached a photo to prove it. They charge $51 +tax for this meal and it was not at all what was advertised. Wildly disappointed and will not be back which is a bummer. P.S. This got me so upset that I am writing a restaurant review for literally the first time ever. read more

Let me preface this by stating that I truly hate giving negative reviews and fully grasp that the chances of getting a truly authentic po-boy in Minneapolis are slim to none. However, I have to stay, this honestly was the worst po'boy I've ever had in my life. I went with the chicken and shrimp, and asked them to make it extra spicy. Not only did they not do that, but they put some sort of mustard on the sandwich as opposed to remoulade. Not only that, but the sandwich wasn't even fully dressed, either. On the bright side, I will say that the food was piping hot and they gave massive portions. Simply put, there is nothing "cajun" about Cajun Boiling outside of the name itself read more

The food was amazing. Cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The only reason why I didn't give them 5 stars is because they didn't give the correct number of snow crab clusters. We were missing a cluster despite paying for two. read more

This is a great place to go if you're craving some southern seafood; crawfish (and yes, it's crawfish not crayfish), fried shrimp, po-boys, and catfish. My fiancé and I were looking for a new place to try, he saw crawfish on the menu and forced us all in the car. The crawfish comes by the pound, is boiled and comes in 3-4 different flavors. It was quite delicious!! I really appreciate the fact that they put a whole roll of paper towels at the table for you to use. (You'll know why once you crack one open). The fried butterfly shrimp is deliciously fried in a corn meal batter which is slightly unusual but a good substitution. The fries (as I was told) just come from the frozen section at Walmart. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating and helped us find options for my son who has every allergy. We were able to get him some potatoes and corn which were allergen free. Be careful of the "steamed rice" it's what they use for their fried rice and is made with oil. There's a few desserts on the menu but didn't get to try anything. I was too stuffed. It looks like they're good for drinks and beer as well. read more

Cajun Boil - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I was excited to try out a couple of the new seafood boil places in Minneapolis. This business is closest to my house so I started here. I had the mixed platter with the cajun sauce (shrimp, crawfish, corn, potato). I really like the concept of this place, the service is very friendly. I wish that the dishes were not soaked in butter. A seafood boil (a cajun one) should be spicy but not necessarily heavy. Even when I have crab/lobster back east, I forgo the butter since seafood is a healthy alternative. Our dishes were drowning in butter. read more

Ate here while visiting tge MOA, very disappointed. We ordered the meal for 3, it was sad. 2 tiny potatoes, one ear of corn cut in half, 22 shrimp one tiny loster and a few tiny crab legs. The garlic butter sauce was nothing but butter and water. Its not a suprise anymore why we were the ONLY people in the dining room. For 125$ I could have went to the grocery store and ate twice as much. Wouldn't recommend. read more

The food was honestly sooooo disappointing. We had the feast #2, the Cajun wings and some Cajun fries and were super excited because the food smelled to good. The wings did not hit at all and were super salty (which is to be expected).
