Cajun Boils get expensive quickly, but the food is so good. We always get a combo set so there's a good variety of food we get vs ordering all the various sides (eg. potatoes, sausages, etc) à la carte. My favorite sauce is the garlic butter and I love their Manila Clams and Snow Crab here. Everything tastes fresh and the clams are huge! I wasn't a huge fan of the calamari since I prefer tiny fried squid pieces instead of the large cuts, but the outer batter was crispy. If you're in the mood for Cajun, this spot is definitely a great place to hit up. The service is always great too. read more

Came here last week and they had a father day special 2lb shrimp, 1pound of crawfish, and a pound of clams along with the usual corn, sausage, potatoes for $72.99 + $4 to upgrade to fresh crawdads. Bag came out pretty fast! Shrimp wasn't overcooked except for the few all the way on the bottom. Corn was sweet, potatoes standard, wish the sausage was more. The house sauce was good! We enjoyed our meal. Also ordered garlic noodles and fries but those didn't come till the end of our meal. I wished we had it to eat it with our seafood which was a bummer. Service was pleasant. Staff was generally around if you need anything. This building use to be the old Black Angus years ago so it is pretty roomy! Will be back next time I'm craving some seafood boil! Recommend :) read more

Just wanted to come on here to mention that overall, food was very good. However, I can't give this place 5 stars. We ordered 2 lobster rolls which looked nothing like what was pictured on the menu (see attached photos). I asked the waiter pointing to the picture on the menu if that was the lobster roll, and they said yes. The order we recieved was probably 1/3 of the size and did not have anywhere near the pieces or large chunks of lobster pictured on the menu. Through pictures already posted, I've found the picture of the advertised roll on the menu photo, and the real order you recieve. The menu photo appears to have around 6-8oz of lobster, whereas the real order appears to only have closer to 2-3oz. Dissapointing when the plate was placed in front of me to see the reality. Still, overall a good eatery, just would be nice if food was delivered as advertised on the photos, otherwise its just fake advertising. read more

Tried Cajun Crack'n and overall it was a good experience. The seafood was fresh, and the seasoning had a great kick with just the right amount of spice. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was how thick the sauce was--it was a little heavier than I personally prefer. Aside from that, the flavors were really good, the portions were satisfying, and I'd definitely come back to give it another try. read more

Super delicious and it never disappoints! We stopped by on Father's Day and had an amazing feast. The crab, shrimp, garlic noodles, and fries were all incredibly good. Sharing is caring, and there was definitely plenty of food for everyone. They also have some great beers, the service was excellent, and the restaurant was super clean. Everything came out fresh and flavorful, making it another memorable visit. This is easily my favorite seafood place, and I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

We ordered takeout from Cajun Crack'n and it continues to be a go-to for us. Their seafood boil is always flavorful and satisfying, and the garlic noodles are a must every time. We usually take it home so we can really enjoy it comfortably, eating with our hands and pairing it with some home-cooked rice. The rice soaks up all that saucy goodness, which honestly makes it even better. Consistently good food and perfect for a laid-back, hands-on meal at home. read more

My dad's favorite restaurant, he's convinced this is the best seafood boil in the bay. The interior feels like a ship with the wooden framing and jack sparrow statue welcoming you. Always a fun trip. The weekday lunch special is pretty good (I believe it's $12 for 1 lb of shrimp and a sausage corn and potato), but my dad loves crawfish so I don't often go for that. Crawfish prices depends on if it's fresh or frozen (fresh is more expensive). The spiciness of the house sauce depends on who is cooking it that day. My server this time told us that if you can handle 2x Buldak, you could handle spicy, but there's days that spicy is spicy spicy! Check with the server before ordering because your mileage may vary. The server was also really on top of getting us straws, wipes, napkins, gloves, etc. I'm a sucker for the deep fried and the soft shell crab and oysters here are great. I prefer the garlic fries (more flavorful) to the Cajun fries (more crunchy) personally. I need greens with every meal to lie to myself that I'm healthy so I ordered the salad. I like the veggies used but it's more sauce than I would like, I'd order sauce on the side next time! read more

I stopped by on a weekday for lunch. The place was not busy. They had good lunch specials. But I went for a Special 2-dungeness crab, 1/2 lb clams, deveined headless shrimp in house special sauce spicy. That was delicious. The sauce had a nice spice kick without being too spicy. Seafood was all fresh. Seafood boil is a messy food. They give apron, glove and scented tissues to take care of it. Still it gets messy especially because we need to crack open the crab legs. And it took me 90 minutes to finish my lunch. read more

Delicious seafood , especially the fresh shrimp and crab . Everything tastes amazing. A whole bag of seafood boil paired with corn and sausage goes perfectly together. The garlic noodles are also very tasty, though the garlic flavor is a bit too strong. Haha! Besides the fries and onion rings, I highly recommend their fried calamari. It has a great texture and isn't tough at all. Highly recommended, but try to avoid coming during peak hours because there will be a bit of a wait. 好吃的海鮮，尤其是新鮮的蝦子和螃蟹，味道好吃，一整袋子的手抓海鮮搭配玉米和香腸非常的對味，香蒜拌麵也非常的好吃，不過蒜頭味太重了。哈！另外除了薯條和洋蔥圈以外，我最推崇的是他們家的炸魷魚，非常有口感也不會硬。強烈推薦給各位，但是儘量別在飯點來，排隊會需要一點時間。 read more

The seafood boil here is good but nothing stand out. Quality sauce and freshness of the seafood are all you need to have a good boil and the House Special sauce was slightly below average but the freshness of the seafood was fine. After all the glowing reviews I've heard about this place I did expect more, but overall I enjoyed my meal here. Pros - Good service and food came out quickly - Plenty of easy parking - Large restaurant, came on a Sunday afternoon and there was plenty of seats - Their happy hour deals look like a great deal Cons - I've had many different house special sauces in the area and this one lands slightly below middle of the pack. It was very one note and is pretty much what you would expect. read more

Cajun Crack'n - Combo #1 with Crawfish, shrimp, and baby octopus with medium spice House Special sauce - Seafood Near Me - Milpitas, California

Hubby and I came for a Friday lunch and were sat right away. We opted for their lunch menu which is a great deal!!! Our usual is 1lb shrimp (head-on). Their lunch version includes 1 corn, potatoes, and a few sausages for around $14. Pro-tip: We ordered 3 of these lunches even though we were 2 people and took some leftovers home. In the end, it was more economical than doing their Combo #1 which includes all of these items (a little less), and a little more expensive. lol. DRINKS: Can we talk about the Coke Zero?!? I LOVE Coke Zero and even though it's not on their menu (Maybe not updated yet), you can ask for it which made me soo happy when I found out they have it. Also hubby loves their special micheladas. Seriously, this location had us spoiled because we recently visited another location and they did not offer Coke Zero or Micheladas, super disappointing!!!! also small but a nice detail, they offer complimentary hair ties here! The other location did not. Also the service here is always fantastic! They always check on us to ensure we have everything we need. Also, b/c we ordered 3 lunches, it arrived in 3 separate bags, as one would expect which was awesome. We ordered 3 lunches at this other location and for some reason they messed that up. I'll save that for another review. Their special house sauce is EVERYTHING!!!! It's thick, full of flavor, and sticks to the shrimp!!! Definitely come for the lunch! read more

Cajun seafood, messy hands, and why spicy is the right choice If you're looking for Cajun seafood boil in Milpitas or the South Bay, this place delivers the kind of experience people expect: big room, lively energy, seafood bags on the table, and absolutely no attempt at elegance. Which is exactly how a seafood boil should be. The dining room is large and open, with rope-wrapped columns, nautical décor, and big circular lights overhead. It works well for groups, but if you're by yourself it's easy to grab a seat at the bar and settle in with a seafood bag. Beer helps. The seafood boil The main attraction here is the Cajun seafood boil bag. Shrimp, crab legs, crawfish, sausage - all tossed in garlic butter and Cajun seasoning. When the bag opens, the smell hits first: garlic, spice, warm seafood sweetness, and butter coating everything. This isn't delicate food. You peel shrimp. Crack crab shells. Sauce gets everywhere. That's the whole point. Seafood boils are meant to be messy. Spice level: go hot For the sauce, I always choose spicy - the hotter the better. Cajun seasoning really comes alive with heat. When the spice level goes up, the shrimp tastes sweeter, the crab richer, and the garlic butter carries more depth. It isn't just heat for the sake of heat. The spice actually amplifies the seafood flavor. If you like Cajun food the way it's supposed to taste, don't be shy about ordering it spicy. Fried catfish: clean, soft, and no muddy flavor The fried catfish here is worth ordering. Catfish can easily pick up that muddy, fishy taste if it's not handled properly. A lot of places struggle with that. This one doesn't. The fish comes out golden and crisp outside, soft and tender inside, with clean flavor and no off smell. The inside stays moist and delicate, almost buttery. Just good fried fish. Shrimp po'boy The shrimp po'boy sandwich is another solid choice. Large shrimp, fried properly so the outside stays crisp while the inside remains juicy and tender. No rubbery texture. The bread is soft with a light toast, holding together shrimp, lettuce, and tomato in the classic Louisiana combination. You get three textures in every bite: crispy shrimp soft bread fresh vegetables Simple and satisfying. The vibe This place isn't trying to be refined seafood dining. It's about energy. Friends sharing a seafood bag. Beer on the table. Garlic butter on your hands. Paper towels disappearing quickly. That's exactly the environment Cajun seafood belongs in. Dr. C note A proper seafood boil should leave evidence. Shells on the table. Seasoning on your fingers. And a cold beer nearby to handle the spice. If that happens, the system is working. read more

This is in the spacious restaurant where Black Angie used to be in Milpitas. I got a seafood boil for $46 that included crab legs, mussels, clams, 1 corn, small piece of sausage and potatoes. It was very buttery that I spilled some on myself but not their fault I should have worn the bib. There's also free refills on soda in a to-go cup. The group near me got alcoholic drinks that looked good. The service was very fast and friendly! read more

This place is pretty good, I love that they offer the shrimp deveined and head off as it saves some work for me. I always make sure to get extra sauce on the side as I like to dunk my shrimp in it. Medium spice is enjoyable but not spicy enough in my preference for it to be medium. Food is always yummy, hot, and comes out pretty quick even when it's busy. The entire staff is great and friendly. It's usually pretty quiet, which I enjoy. If you visit on a weekend after 5 be ready for a lengthy wait! Only complaint is the bathrooms as they could use some love. There's a foul smell in the hallway leading to the restroom but not the restroom itself..?. It's usually unkept, the soap dispenser is broken, toilet paper was stacked on top of one another, and no paper towels... avoid it if you can. read more

We took a drive out to Milpitas to give this Cajun spot a try. Inside was cavernous with lots of seating along with a Pirates of the Caribbean (aka Captain Jack Sparrow statues) and nautical theme. There was a couple staff at the front and one gave a quick overview since we were ordering to go. Menu featured a variety of options including raw oyster, appetizers, fried foods, po'or boys and sliders, and combo boils. It took a bit over 20 minutes to deliver our order and they threw in some useful plastic gloves, bibs along with forks, paper trays and some sauces. We went with the large combo (posted on the entrance but not in the menu) that came with four pounds of seafood (whole shrimp, mussels and crawfish), corn, potatoes and sausages. Headless and deveined shrimp were extra charge if one so opted. The house special sauce had good flavors and the seafood large, meaty and not overcooked. The fried choices we ordered were a mixed bag. The calamari was disappointing with a very dry, bread like coating and a limpy consistency. Not the texture we expected. The sweet potato fries were cold by the time we got home so not the best. The onion rings was the only fried dish that stayed crisp and crunchy. The last side was the garlic noodle and it was balanced with lots of chopped garlic and not oily like we've had as other similar restaurants. Definitely . Overall double bagging of the boil kept things warm and without leaks. The paper packaging was flimsy and didn't do such a great job keeping the contents warm and needs improvement. The boil, noodles and onion rings pulled the rating up to a 4 star. read more

The food was surprisingly so good here. The shrimp was big in size, not overcooked, and the sauce was really flavorful but also the perfect medium spice. My friend who is the spice queen said their tongue on fire spice level was actually the spiciest she's had! The garlic noodles were also sooooo garlicky and buttery and packed with flavor we ended up ordering double on those. The fries were good but lacked some Cajun flavor and felt it was a bit too crispy for me. Overall the place really hit the spot. It's a big place and can fit a lot of parties, we were able to put our party down on the waitlist beforehand. One complaint is that the bathrooms are dirty and poorly maintained, they didn't have toilet paper in the holders and lacked any paper towels after washing your hands. Also wish they had more sink stations. read more

I came to celebrate my good friends birthday (In April). The servers were very polite and attentive and they can accommodate larger parties. There is a bar area with seats as well.

Love this place! Probably one of the best seafood boils around the SJ area, and their happy hour deals are amazing ($1.50 oysters!) We were seated right away on a Friday night, and our server was very helpful. I really enjoyed their "everything" sauce, and the mild spice level was perfect for me. The menu also offers a nice variety of options if you're not in the mood for a seafood boil. The only thing I'd comment on is that our oysters came out halfway through finishing our meal, even though they were supposed to be an appetizer. That said, I didn't mind too much since it was such a great deal. read more

I love a good seafood boil and almost always order crab when a place offers it. I've been to most seafood boil spots around the Bay, but this one had been on my list for a while. We finally came here on a Saturday to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. We ordered a whole Dungeness crab, snow crab leg clusters in the house special sauce, fried soft-shell crab, fried shrimp, Cajun fried rice w/shrimp, and garlic noodles. Overall, the food was pretty good, but definitely not the best I've had. The house special sauce on the crab was decent, but nothing mind-blowing. The fried soft-shell crab and fried shrimp were both good and probably the highlights of the meal. The Cajun fried rice w/shrimp was just okay. It included sausage, which wasn't mentioned on the menu. That was a bit odd, especially for people who don't eat pork. The garlic noodles were also just okay flavor-wise, but the biggest letdown was the noodles themselves. They tasted more like spaghetti rather than egg noodles, which didn't really work for me. Compared to other spots, Claw Shack in San Jose and Lemon Crab in Hayward are still my favorites. While the food here wasn't bad, it didn't stand out enough for me to go out of my way to come back. read more

Not bad but not great. I wish the food in the boil was actually steeped in the sauce. You can definitely tell that they cook the food separately from the sauce so none of the corn, potatoes, seafood actually has the flavor infused. To be fair I come from TX so I have pretty high standards for cajun boils Special 2 - (6/10) house sauce is pretty good but again none of the food is actually infused/boiled in the sauce. Also wish they had crawfish option :( Lobster roll - (6/10) lobster was very dry and bland. It definitely needed more butter and flavor. The fries were delicious tho Great drink selection. Music and service is great too - we had an amazing waitress read more

Came here for my birthday with a group of friends and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was good, and the beer selection was solid -- and surprisingly cheap. We happened to come during a football game, and they told us that when a game is on, the beer prices are super cheap, plus they also have great happy hour deals. Definitely a win. We ordered the signature combo and got the crawfish, mussels, and shrimp. Everything was good with a decent sauce. While I might slightly prefer Kickin' Crab's sauce, the cheap beer here makes this place a better bang for your buck overall. The garlic noodles were ok, though a little different from what we're used to, but still enjoyable. Sweet potato fries were a standout -- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The decor is nice, and the servers were great and very attentive. Overall, a fun spot with decent food, great service, and unbeatable beer prices. We'll definitely be back, especially for the beer! read more

It has been a while since I've had seafood boil and I forgot how filling it is! We visited on a weekday for their lunch special (M-F 12-3pm). The shrimp boil is $13/lb, which seems to be a pretty good deal! The shrimp boil itself was plenty of food since it also includes corn, potato, and sausage. I went with the house special sauce and the flavors were banging. We also ordered the fried basket of fried catfish and Cajun fries and a side of garlic noodles. The sides were good, but definitely added more carbs than needed. Next time, I would skip on the sides or limit it to just one side for the table to share. read more

Nope nope nope. I don't know if we picked a bad night or timing or what, but nope. We ordered the crab: thinnest, scrawniest legs you could imagine; barely got any meat out of them. Sauce was grainy and definitely not the house sauce. Tried the garlic noodles as a side: dry and bland (sent back). My buddy got a refill on his drink and they just grabbed it and refilled it barehand with sauce all over it; it was a weird series of events, definitly not going back after all that. read more

Came here on a Friday night. I'm so happy they are on Yelp and use the waitlist option; it's very convenient. I added our party of 3 to the list as we were on the way and within a few minutes to us arriving at the restaurant I received a text that my table was ready. When we walked in, there was already a crowd of people in the lobby. Some picking up take out orders, some placing take out orders and some waiting for a table to open. I bypassed all of them as the text said to go straight to the host. I showed her the text and within a few minutes, she walked us over to our table. That was 5 We ordered Combo 1 and my husband tried to order the lobster roll but they were sold out of lobster, . My combo with the house sauce, medium spicy was delicious. 5 . My husband ordered the shrimp roll, he was disappointed as there weren't many pieces of shrimp and his fries were very salty. 3 . As for drinks, I ordered a blue lagoon and it wasn't watered down. I appreciated it especially a great way to end the week. Unfortunately, my husband ordered a soda and it never arrived. 1 . He told our waitress to cancel it and she removed it from our bill and apologized. She wasn't as attentive as we hoped as she only came once to refill our water and that was towards the end of our dining. When she came to ring up or bill, she tried to offer us a soda in a to go cup , on the house. But we kindly refused. Overall, food delicious. Wait process and time, amazing. Service, a little room for improvement. Definitely a place to try. And I highly recommend using the online waitlist. Enjoy! read more

So glad I came and tried this place. They have an amazing lunch special where you get 1lb of shrimp head on or off, with potatoes, sausage, and corn for $13! It's a steal! The medium spice has a nice kick to it and the sauce itself is very flavorful (I ordered the house special with all flavors). I do wish they gave more sauce in the bag. It's on the thicker side. What I loved was the size of the shrimps, they were huge and the heads had a lot of flavor. The garlic noodles were nice and buttery with huge chunks of garlic. Servers were all very nice and attentive. Definitely will come back. read more

I went during the lunch special and got a softshell crab po'boy, as it seemed quite affordable for $13. However, when I bit into it, I didn't really taste the crab. All I really tasted was the dressing and the buttery bun. The lettuce and cucumber would hide the crab even more. The only thing I liked was how the basket was packed with very crispy fries. However, I really wanted to taste the crab but I did not get that, thus the 3/5 rating. read more

The food was good! The lunch special is super value and I like how it was a pound of shrimp plus corn sausage and potato!!
