Absolutely worth the lunch deal! $13 for a shrimp boil that comes with sausage, corn and potatoes! Delicious garlic Cajun sauce, I picked mild for spiciness. The service was attentive and the food came out super duper fast! Shrimp were LARGE and perfectly cooked and not mushy at all. The interior looks like boiling crab in San Jose and has some music playing. They give you bibs and gloves here though!! Two lunch special shrimp boils came out to about $28 after tip and tax. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Great food and service. We got combo 1 with the chicken tenders combo. It was delicious. My kid ate his meal and he's a picky eater. I'll be coming back. read more

Short wait, good for groups, nice combo menu. I first went here when they were newer and offered free fries upon checkin. That's no more, but they still have great deals on weekdays and happy hour! Seafood was great, curly fries were yummy, and I like that they offer free hair ties so you can eat without a mess. read more

4.5 stars!! My sister kept on telling me how I needed to try this place bc she was constantly craving their shrimp. Their shrimp was pretty delicious if you ask me and it was perfectly cooked! Peeling was such a breeze and you can totally tell the quality is there. The service was great and their front desk has complimentary hair ties so you can really go to town with your seafood boil LOL. I noticed that the interior was maintained quite well with how clean and spacious it was too. Garlic noodles were also delish albeit it was on the smaller side. Overall, another great cajun spot to add to my list and you should add it to yours too! read more

Very solid seafood boil!! I got special 2 with snow crab, and head off shrimp with mild special house sauce. Even with the mild spice level there was a little kick but it was exactly what I was wanting! The sauce is very flavorful and a little smoky and there was a good amount in the bag. Overall good experience, service was prompt and it was a fun environment to watch MNF! read more

Went here with my best friend because we were craving seafood boil for some reason on a rainy day and our usual place was closed. This place looked promising so we gave it a try! Service was really really good. Our server constantly checked on us and was super kind. The restaurant was also very clean and open! I ordered a pound of crawfish with the New Orleans cajun sauce, and my gf ordered shrimp with the house special sauce (combo of all). We do recommend going during their happy hour because their prices are SO good and worth. We shared fries and I also tried their crab cake sliders. Everything was delicious and completely worth it. One of the best priced seafood boil spots I've been to in California! read more

i always love coming here because the service is always amazing! we went here for HH and of course had to order their oysters. their oysters are super affordable during HH and it is always worth it. cajun fries (5/5): their fries always comes out super crispy and recently i learned that you can add garlic to it so it's becomes super garlicky and is soo good! hot wings (5/5): i always get cajun flavored and make sure to eat it when it comes out. the skin is super crispy on the outside and the meat is super juicy in the inside. it's the right amount of juiciness. cat fish slider (5/5): i love their cat fish slider! it's similar to the hot wings where it's super crispy on the outside and in the inside is cooked just right. combo 1: i always get the house special with extra garlic and less salt and find that it always comes out just right. i don't really like salty foods so i'm glad at cajun crack'n, salt can be reduced. every time i'm here the servers are super friendly and welcoming. they also have really good recommendations too! read more

The service was good. Di was our server. The food was tasty. I'm giving a three star review because I ordered the lobster roll, (it came with fries) and it was nothing like the picture on the menu. The lobster roll was so small and not worth the $19.95 in my opinion. The lobster roll was on 1 slice of toasted bread. I finished the lobster roll but it wasn't enough protein for me. I had to wait to get a menu, take some time to order again, wait for the server to come again to take my order, then wait some more for my order of shrimp and sausage to arrive. This all would have been avoided if the picture on the menu was not so deceiving. read more

Definitely becoming one of my favorite seafood boil spots in my rotation! The staff is always so nice and attentive. The shrimp pieces are big, fries are crisp and good to munch on, and the garlic noodles are just the right amount of garlicky and buttery - the noodles are a little thinner compared to some other spots but still good! read more

We came at 630ish on a Friday, no wait. The front desk greeted us immediately and sat us at a booth with a plastic tablecloth (expected with the menu). Our server came right over, and made sure to ask if we had any questions. We ended up with the special #2, with the recommended house sauce (all the options mixed together). I will say, holy garlic! If you're sensitive to garlic this may not be the sauce for you. We also tried the garlic noodles, again they take their garlic seriously. The food was so delicious, but this just isn't my style of eating. I'd never had seafood boil before, and the mess just isn't for me. They earn all the stars, as that's a me issue, not a them problem. The decor reminds me a seafood place on the water, and you can write on the walls if you choose. read more

This place is pretty packed on the weekends! When we went there many parties waiting and this restaurant is not a small spot. I would recommend coming early to join the waitlist. I think the sauce here isn't bad, but they give very little sauce. I would prefer it to be saucier. I also thought the garlic noodles were a little bland. But once you add the boil sauce, it's good! read more

The seafood was beautifully cooked ! sauce was good, it could use a little bit more sauce and to be better mixed had several pieces not sauced up. the garlic noodles were so delicious very flavourful veryyyy garlic-y definitely the best garlic noodles i've had in the bay so far. the cajun chowder was very delicious everything was sooo flavourful maybe even a tad bit too salty but the flavour is goodddd! came for the 1$ oysters they were standard oysters order a dozen and it came with such teeny tiny sauces service was alsoooo so very good! they also offer free hair ties in the front came in clutch read more

The fried oysters were fresh, but I thought the crust was too dark and heavy. They do not have lobster rolls even though it appears on the menu. I will probably go back to try their seafood boil. read more

I eat here pretty often (once a month) and I definitely feel like the seafood quality has been declining over the past few months. I always order 1 lb of shrimp with head on, but I've recently been disappointed by the quality my last few visits. I used to come here over Clawshack and other seafood boil restaurants in the area because Cajun Crackin used to have good shrimp - fresh, large, firm, plump, and juicy. Unfortunately, the shrimp is soft and mushy now, indicating the lack of freshness. The restaurant is large with plenty of tables, so I rarely need to wait for a table when I come here. Also, the restaurant has plenty of TVs - great for watching NBA or NFL games over dinner. One thing Cajun Crackin really needs to improve on is their bathroom... the women's bathroom is always a mess - clogged sinks, leaking toilets, toilet paper on the floor. No complaints about the service here - all my servers have been friendly and checked up on on us adequately. read more

One of our newest favorite spots! Why? 1. Happy hour 3-6pm: oysters, $5 gumbo/calamari/clam chowder 2. All day Tues + Weds = $1 oysters 3. Exceptional service! Easy to get a table and they checked in on us while we were eating. Oysters did take some time to come out since everyone and their moms were ordering a dozen 4. Their original sauce is so flavorful, buttery and spicy even though we got mild. Coming back to try all the other sauces! 5. Their garlic noodles look promising too, we'll be back to try that as well read more

Had lunch here with a group of co-workers (12 in the group), got there about 15mins after they opened and got table fairly fast. Everyone in the group order different items on the menu, and said was good. I had the lunch special shrimp boil for ($13) with the house sauce which was recommended by our server. The house sauce included all the sauces they offer into one. Very flavorful!!! The shrimps that came with was large and fresh. THIS LUNCH SPECIAL IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!! The Cajun Chowder was okay, tasted like standard chowder, lack Cajun flavor, but still good. Also, had half of a catfish po'boy, the bread was nice a soft, the fish was a little small and the sauce was good. Our server was excellent!!! Differently will come back!!! read more

I love me a good seafood boil...unfortunately their sauce just didn't hit for me. Everything was cooked great but something about their house sauce, it seemed like something was missing. We ordered: Modelo Honeydew margarita Lemon pepper fries Calamari Cajun chowder (forgot to picture) Fried catfish basket (forgot to picture) Shrimp head off, house special sauce spicy, corn and potatoes Service was good. We did have to ask other servers for extra items since ours didn't check in as much but she was really friendly. I'm assuming she might have just been really busy as it was a Friday night. I want to come back to take advantage of their happy. Specifically for the $1.50 oysters. read more

My party of 4 came on a Wednesday night and was quickly seated at a booth. It was my first time trying seafood boil so I was especially excited. We ordered the combo 2 with house special, special 1 with cajun, and a side of garlic noodles. We ordered medium spicy levels for both. The garlic noodles came out really quickly and were a very tasty warmup to the bulk of the meal! 4.5/5 The seafood boil followed shortly. The staff brought out tools for cracking the seafood shells and a little trash bin. I feel like the meat was a good level of spicy but not as flavorful as the other ingredients. It was probably because of the shells they were in. On the other hand, the corn was extremely spicy from absorbing all the sauce. The seasoning was quite tasty though and I enjoyed the meal. I do feel like overall I wish there was more meat in the dishes, but they were transparent with the weight of the seafood provided in each combo. Overall it was a fun experience especially for my first seafood boil dinner! read more

The servers here are very friendly and the service is great. The place is definitely spacious and is good for big groups. Plenty of parking in the area as well. I ordered the sweet potato fries, the Cajun fries, the combos, garlic noodles and oysters. The fries here are definitely addicting and crunchy. Their oysters were a little grainy. Their garlic noodles were enjoyable but I felt the amount given was smaller than expected. The combo itself tasted okay. I felt like the main combination sauce could have tasted better. Solid place in the area. read more

Walked in on Tuesday evening but they were steady busy. Big place with friendly service. Cajun fried rice is VERY salty. Garlic bread OK. Good to dip in the sauce. We did the combo #2 medium spice house sauce -- pretty good but salty with the garlic bread. Got the dungeness crab, clam and crawfish. It's work to eat with all the shells but it was good and enough food for the 3 of us. read more

I order through door dash and pick up the order myself. Sometimes people think I work for door dash because of this and decide to treat me differently. This place thought I was a dasher and gave my food away to the wrong person. Instead of telling me this I over heard them say "he is just a dasher" and just let me sit there instead of telling me what happened. I tried this place again recently and they messed my to go order up. I threw the whole thing in the trash just out of frustration. I honestly will never return and will tell every single person that wants to eat here to stay away. I can handle food mistakes but treating people wrong infuriates me. read more

Cajun Crack'n - Garbage - Seafood Near Me - Milpitas, California

There's a ton of seafood boil places in the bay but there are very few that I actually recommend. Most of the time, the sauce is usually way too oily for my personal preference or the quality of the seafood is okay. The first time I tried this place, I was excited because it felt like I could add a second seafood boil place into rotation. The quality was good and the sauce was actually a sauce and not just pure oil. I'm not sure what happened between the first time and the second time I went, but there was a noticeable drop in quality. We called specifically to see if they had fresh crawfish, which they confirmed. My partner ended up ordering the lunch special (which is actually a pretty good deal) while I ordered 2 pounds of crawfish. My partner had some big shrimps (we were a little skeptical about if it was actually a pound, but overall the quality was solid, and the sauce was actually a sauce (although it was a little too salty). For my bag, it had a few good pieces of crawfish (a couple were quite large too), but the 65% were super tiny and almost felt like the quality of frozen crawfish, which was extremely disappointing since I specifically wait for crawfish season to come to seafood boil places. The sauce was also mostly oil and super salty. I usually like salty, but it was too much. I'm not sure if I came at an off time, but the most recent time was disappointing. read more

Mmmmmm I love me a crab boil! I've tried quite a few places in So Cal and this is one of the best ones I've had. Service is always fast, price is normal, and the food is always delicious. A lot of places have more of a juice but I like that this spot has a sauce so it's a little thicker. Shrimp and crab legs are both good, a couple buddies have had the muscles, po boy, clams, and crawdads and they said those are all good too. If I pass through here I'll definitely be back! read more

3.5 rounding up to 4 since the waitress was very nice. Be warned...a lot of stuff here comes with fries, so you don't need to order more. Yelp check in also gets you free order of fries. Portion sizes like the noodles and lobster roll were really small. Crab cake was actually very filling and pretty big portion! Salad was a salad. The lemon pepper fries were too salty, Cajun was good though. The gumbo was not good LOL the chowder was not bad but too salty. The shrimp per lb was yummy though! We got New Orleans sauce and the combo sauce. Both tasted pretty similar though. I would probably focus more on this next time. The fried basket of stuff was okay...they gave way more fries than protein so that was disappointing. Overall, I'd come here again just for the bagged seafood but would skip the fried stuff. read more

SOOOOO this spot might be my new fave spot for seafood boil :] My girlfriends and I came out one time for dinner & now I crave this so often! The seafood here is so fresh & the flavor is SO SO GOOD! The first time I came here, we dined & was helped by Corey! The restaurant was pretty busy and they had large parties but he kept checking on our table! I've had their shrimp, clams and crawfish and it's so fresh! Their crawfish- fresh or frozen are so so good & contain so much roe! Some restaurants cook their seafood to the point where the flesh is SUPER mush and the shells stick to the flesh. BUT not here! We ordered their fried calamari & fried okra. We liked the fried okra, as it was bite size pieces & the ratio between batter and the veggie was great. However the fried calamari wasn't for us. The actual piece of squid was as thin as a rubber band. However the garlic noodles, 20/10. Noodles are still chewy, lots of flavor & LOTS OF GARLIC. For their sauces, I've only had their house special which is all of their sauces combined. Cant ever go wrong with that. For their heat levels, I've had mild and medium- great. Spicy- perfect heat, there is a kick but it's not numbing. & tongue on fire- my sister & I are always skeptical about the hottest flavor bc some places promote this as SUPER spicy but it really isn't. NOT CAJUN CRACKING. We got tongue on fire & boy, did that change our view on that. Our tongue was literally on fire, lips were red & numb. I regret getting that flavor bc it was SO SO HOT but I'm glad that I got what I paid for. I highly recommend everyone to come out & try this spot if they haven't. You never knowwww, it might be your new seafood boil spot :) read more

First time trying Cajun Crack'n, but I did door dash. The hot wings: I think on the outside it was crispy but not too much flavor. Fish / fries combo: it was also lacking flavor Got the 2 lbs crawfish & 1 lb shrimp combo ~ now this was were all the flavors were at! The crawfishes were huge! Shrimp was super flavorful! I liked the potatoes, sausage and corn as well! Maybe I'll give it another try but I'll dine in. read more

We came here to celebrate my cousin's graduation from EMT school and were really excited--we had been looking forward to it all week. We arrived before rush hour, and the restaurant was slow when we got there. We ordered shrimp (head off), mussels, and crab combo. Instead, we were first brought crawfish, mussels, and snow crab--missing the shrimp we ordered. When we pointed this out, our server brought us a whole new bag, but once again it had crawfish instead of shrimp. The third time they tried to fix the order, they brought an extra bag of mussels, which we never ordered. At that point, we assumed maybe the shrimp was still coming. Meanwhile, the food we had already received was cold, and we continued waiting for a long time with no clear updates. After sitting there for quite a while, the server finally said, "Oh, you guys wanted shrimp?" and only then put the shrimp order in. By that point, the order had already been messed up three times, and the experience was extremely frustrating. We asked to speak to a manager, only to find out that our server was the manager. He apologized, but the shrimp still didn't come. After waiting about 30 more minutes, we asked to leave because we were completely over it. The manager said he would comp the meal, but when the bill came back, we were only given 10% off, and the only items removed were the extra mussels and crawfish--items we never ordered in the first place. We were essentially just charged for what we didn't order, and the bill still came out to $80. In the end, we paid almost full price for a meal that was never made correctly, arrived cold, and took an unreasonable amount of time. What was supposed to be a special celebration turned into a very disappointing experience. We left frustrated and extremely dissatisfied. read more

my favorite cajun spot in the bay. i love coming here for lunch on weekdays because of the happy hour deal. just $13 for a pound of shrimp is a great price. we come here so often, we've tried a bunch of the other happy hour dishes too. i like the fried catfish basket. my bf likes the po boys. the prices are great and comes with fries, also love that you can pick if you want the fries w cajun seasoning or lemon pepper. service is always great, one server remembers my bf and chats with us. they're quick with food and check in on us. ambiance is like most cajun places, very nautical. i like how open and bright the place is compared to others. the tables arent too close together/crowded. i usually don't have to wait when we coming for weekday lunch. not too long of a wait for weekend dinners either. read more

We came here on a Friday and didn't know it was Happy Hour! We had to wait a few minutes to be seated because we caught the employees at shift change. I ordered the 1lb of shrimp head-on and 1lb mussels with house special sauce and medium spicy. I loved the flavor that bursts in your mouth when you eat the savory shrimp with a hint of sourness and spiciness. If you grew up eating spicy, medium probably needs to be stronger, so I recommend the spicy level. This time I just wanted a spice kick that's why I just ordered a medium. For appetizers, we ordered $1.50 oysters for Happy Hour! I indulged myself with this great offer! It's from Mon-Fri 3-6 pm. We also ordered garlic noodles as a side, it's a little too salty for me so I only had a couple of bites. The Cajun fries were freshly cooked. Their appetizers are good for 1-3 people and desserts, I got the Strawberry shortcake macaron ice cream, which definitely compliments after eating a savory meal. This restaurant is located in a plaza so there is a huge parking lot. I loved the interior design, which makes me think of being in a bait shop lol. Overall, the food was great, and would totally come back for my cajun seafood cravings fix! Oh, and be sure to bring a marker to write on the walls! read more

This place is amazing. The flavors were on point and the seafood is fresh and flavorful. We got the whole Dungeness crab which surprisingly priced okay and tasted so good. We paired it with the "special 2" which gives you 2 choices- with snow crab and shrimp. 1 bowl of rice for each of us (3 in our party) was not enough since the sauce tasted really good that you can pour it all over your rice . Also we started with fresh oysters which was awesome. The hot sauce they had on the side was HOT and AMAZING!! Food came in a bag which kept it hot and juicy with potatoes, corn and sausage . They had some sides too which we got a side of sweet potatoes. The staff were very attentive and place is clean. Would love to come again and again read more

We came in for some cajun crab and ended up having such a nice experience thanks to our server, Cathy. She was super sweet, polite, and professional the whole time. Even though we had to ask for drink refills, she always came over right away and took care of it without any attitude. Cathy checked in on us and made sure we had what we needed, and treated everyone around us with the same kindness. It just felt like she genuinely cared about the tables she was serving. We ordered the extra spicy Cajun shrimp and let me tell you, if you don't want to cry, don't do it . It was spicy spicy. If you're not great with heat, definitely go with mild. If you can handle some spice, medium is the perfect level. But if you're like us and want that real kick, then extra spicy will wake you right up! Thank you ! Cathy for making our dinner so pleasant. We'll definitely be back! read more

Came here on a Saturday at around 2 and there was no wait! Love that. The place was really big so it can accommodate a lot of people. Shrimp with house special sauce: This was hella good, the sauce was tasty, not too oily, and the shrimp was big and juicy. We really enjoyed the sausage in it as well. Garlic Noodles: this was good, but not great, I wish the noodles were thicker and less mushy but it was good. Catfish with fries: this was probably our least favorite thing, the fish was super thin compared to the batter. Fries were nice and crispy! L I gave this place five stars, because the star of the show, the shrimp boil was really good despite the sides, being just okay! The service was also great and we loved our server Correy! We'll deff be back when we're in the area as we prefer this over kicking crab/boiling crab. read more

Things were fine here and it is a typical boiling crab like place. The food came out fast except for the fish and chips we ordered, which took too long. One of our party members ordered to-go after we were done eating and the order was accidentally placed in the front and so we waited another 30-40 minutes. I am appalled at the tipping policy. They charge 18% for large parties, which we were charged. But when I paid, they held up the iPad for a tipping option that was a tip amount *on top* of the 18% tip and the tax on the bill total. I tipped 20% at that point but had not seen the itemized receipt or been explained to that the tip was already added So for a $147 bill, they ended up charging me over $64 in tips. Which is wild because although people came to refill our water, they were not specifically attentive especially when we had to wait 40 minutes for the to-go order. Their tipping policy is ridiculous and you might want to reconsider coming here with a large group because they flash the iPad in front of everyone without giving you adequate time to review the receipt or notifying you verbally and have the audacity to ask for a second tip after a mandatory service charge. I would not come back here again. I am also surprised there was a service charge applied given there were 5 adults and 1 kid. Usually it is for parties of 8 or more according to some articles online. But I knew something was off by the bill. Can't believe that a business would try to take over 40% in tips on the original bill like that. I'm really disappointed in this place. read more
