8pc shrimp garlic noodles
Sam R.

We recently ate at Cajun Crackin. First time here was not busy so you can go in anytime. I ordered the 8-piece shrimp with garlic noodles, and my boyfriend ordered the chicken strip tenders with fries. Its a place to try. The food was a mix of good and bad. My shrimp and garlic noodles tasted good, and my boyfriend enjoyed his meal. However, the breadsticks were very bland and lacked flavor. The service was the biggest disappointment. Our server made a couple of mistakes with our order which is fine but then seemed to blame us instead of taking responsibility, which made the experience frustrating. Overall, the food was decent, but the service and the breadsticks could definitely use some improvement.

Not bad for my first time here. The market price on the seafood is kinda pricey but if you get the combos I think it's worth it. Definitely come in to share because it's just enough. It was near closing so we were seated right and away with a few minutes to decide what we wanted to eat. End up getting the Crackin Combo it came with a snow crab cluster, crawfish, sausage, corn and potatoes. I added an order of rice and Cajun fries. I liked the fact they had quality gloves that fit so your hands don't get dirty and scissors/crab cracker. The ambiance almost reminded me of the Bay Area seafood spots. I would definitely come in again when I get the cravings:)

Good open space, we were seated quickly and staff was very attentive throughout the meal. Food was good, quite similar to other boil restaurants but we enjoyed ourselves and left full. P.S. Bring a Sharpie because you are allowed to write/sign your name anywhere in the restaurant dining area (literally the walls, the booth seats, the giant hanging shark (if you can reach it).

If you come to Cajun Crack'n, be prepared to get messy. Like, fingers-slick-with-garlic-butter, sauce-on-your-face messy. They do provide gloves if you want them--but honestly, leaning into the chaos is part of the fun. We ordered the middle-size boil with snow crab legs, a pound of crawfish, corn, and potatoes, tossed in mild spice with garlic butter, and it was so good. They bring it in a large plastic bag drenched in sauce and you dig it out and put the shells in a mini-trash can they provide you. The crawfish can be a little tricky at first, but they give you these tiny scissors, and once you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty easy (and weirdly satisfying). This is not a first-date restaurant unless you're trying to test boundaries immediately. Sauce gets everywhere. Everywhere. I went with my family, and it was perfect for that--fun, loud, and zero pressure to be polite. We brought our kids too. There's no official kids' menu, but they do have six-piece BBQ wings and edamame, which you can order Cajun-style or sea salt. I went with sea salt since my son doesn't like spice, and it was a win. The service was great, the ambiance was fun, and bonus points: the margaritas are BIG--like actual drinking-glass sized--and totally worth the price. The beer prices were surprisingly reasonable, too. Overall: delicious food, great service, fun atmosphere, and a full-on hands-on experience. Come hungry, wear something you don't mind getting messy, and enjoy it. Highly recommend.

They know me here, pretty much a regular and I always get the same thing sometimes add a little more to the list because the wings are also to die for. Right next to Sam's Club so if you need to do some shopping it's very convenient. Lots of stores in site, thank you Cajun Crack'n ! I appreciate your service and the hospitality. Great food ALL THE TIME, never disappointed! 5 star!!!

Came to Cajun Crack'n on a Friday evening craving a seafood boil and was pleasantly surprised. We got seated right away, the restaurant was clean, and our waitress was quick to bring menus and waters. We went with Combo #1--3 pounds of deveined shrimp with potatoes, sausage, and corn in the spicy "everything combined" flavor. The shrimp were already peeled and perfectly cooked, which made the meal so much easier and more enjoyable. The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The sides were a mixed bag--fries weren't my favorite, but the onion rings were excellent. Potatoes and corn soaked up all the flavor perfectly. I'd definitely come back for the seafood boil again.

The food was delicious--Combo #1 (Crackin') with extra sausage--the staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was calm. I recommend it 100%.

1 lb shrimp head on, 1 lb frozen crawfish and one corn. A mixture of sauces and spiciest heat level.

I haven't been here in years! We only came here cus we was still in the area.. decided on a catfish po boy that came with fries.. went with lemon pepper seasoning. The sandwich was hot and crispy. Fries was same. Pretty good combo. Then also had hush puppies on the side which had a good seasoning to it. Overall it was a good lunch. Would want to come back for the Cajun again cus I need to refresh my memory on the sauce... can't say much about service since it was to go but she did greet me.

Is outdoor seating available again?

Yes

How does this compare to FOB or the Crawfish Guy?

FOBs sauce is my fav. They always have crazy amount of flavor. Cajun Crackin is tasty just not as flavorful as FOB. What I can say is that my husband and I both agreed that Cajun Crackin had fresher tasting shrimp if that makes sense.

Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

The Crawfish Guy - Allsome Sauce in medium with Muscles, shrimp, potatoes and sausage. We added our own eggs and imitation crabs for the kids.

Came here on a Tuesday night, and I'm so glad I did!Crawfish is only $9.99 a pound on Tuesdays,…read morewhich you seriously can't beat because the other days it's $19.99! It was a packed house, but the service was on point! The servers were fast, attentive, and kept everything moving. I got the seafood combo with the Awesome Sauce, spicy. The sauce was SO good, but let me tell you... that spicy was SPICY! My mouth was on fire! I'm not sure what kind of sausage they use, but that was probably my least favorite part. It was really soft and mushy, and I prefer my sausage with a little more bite. Overall, though, I'm glad I came on Tuesday. That $9.99 crawfish deal is definitely worth coming back for!

Amazing experience with the best seafood and crayfish ever. The secrets isn't just the seafood…read more It's actually the seasoning and sauces that make it all come together in this boil. I've had many boils in the south and there's a place a couple blocks from my house back in the San Francisco Bay area. That makes really really good boils. This surpassed I am just tickled pink. Our whole group agreed this is a winner. And I can't leave this out. The garlic noodles were off the hook, crazy good. Lilly was an amazing server. She maintain a smile throughout the service was extremely attentive to our needs for our group and everyone just adored her. She was so nice and I have to say that it was equally balanced with the rest of the crew and staff that was on tonight. Bravo team Crawfish. Highly recommended. Our group was in seventh heaven.

If there is a part of downtown Fresno you have never had a reason to visit, Chef Paul's Cafe in…read moreChinatown is the reason. I have been several times, and every visit has asked nothing of me except an appetite. Chef Paul Pearson owns the place and cooks the food, and everything that comes out of his kitchen is the best version of whatever you ordered. The neighborhood is older than most of what surrounds it. Fresno was founded in 1872 as a railroad town, and Chinese residents were pushed to the west side of the tracks, where Chinatown grew into a district of shops, hotels, theaters, restaurants, and service businesses. When the county seat moved here in 1874, Chinese residents made up 200 of the town's 600 people. Urban renewal in the 1960s took businesses, residents, and historic buildings, and decades of neglect followed. This was a place people went to on purpose long before it became a place people forgot to go. That is the ground Chef Paul's stands on. As legend has it, Chef Paul started in catering and opened the restaurant after someone bet him $1,000 that he couldn't keep a restaurant afloat in Chinatown. He is still here, which settles the bet in my book. When the Fresno Bee asked readers to name their favorite Black-owned places to eat and drink for Black History Month, Chef Paul's took 80 percent of the vote, and the paper notes it made BuzzFeed's national list of 30 must-try Black-owned restaurants. The better endorsement is a room full of regulars. Start with the fried chicken, because everything else does. The skin is seasoned all the way through, not dusted on the surface, and it crunches with exactly the resistance you want before giving way to meat that is still juicy. A 2022 ABC30 profile says Chef Paul brines the birds for 24 hours in salt, sugar, and peppercorns, and that the recipe belongs to his wife, Pinky. That patience shows. The chicken does not need a sauce and does not ask for one, though no one would begrudge you a dab of hot sauce. I recently ate at Gus' Fried Chicken in New Orleans, one of that city's most popular fried chicken restaurants. Gus' is very good, which makes this awkward. The two styles differ a little, and Chef Paul's is better. The crunch lands in the right spot, the spice mix is genuinely exceptional, and, don't tell anyone I said this, it's also better than my grandmother's. She has passed away, and I am relieved she isn't around to hear me say it, because she would have considered it blasphemy. My wife and I ate this visit, and we both ordered the fried chicken with mac and cheese. One of us added the chili beans, the other the yams. Each side made a strong case for itself, I never found a weak spot anywhere on the table, and the chicken won anyway. The room looks like an old greasy spoon, though I can't say what business it was before. An abandoned ice cream cooler sits just inside the door, retired from ice cream and reassigned to Chef Paul's signs. The lunch counter is a ruin of its former self, half the stools stripped down to their bases and a few very old ones left standing. The restaurant is long and narrow, with a few tables along the right side and the kitchen right behind the counter in full view of the dining room. It is laid back, and the crowd is regulars. The fried chicken plate is four pieces of chicken, two sides, and cornbread for $24. Some people will call that pricey, and then the plate arrives. Between the two of us, that was eight pieces of chicken, four sides, and two orders of cornbread, and every bit of it was cooked with the same care as the chicken that earned the trip. With crunch and seasoning like that, sides that each made their own case, and all for $24 a head? That is a bargain by any measure I know. So here is the pitch. Chinatown is not where many people think to go for dinner, and that stops mattering the moment you walk in. It is a destination, and Chef Paul's is one of the best restaurants in the city. Go see for yourself, because I will be back several more times.
