Weekly Special
Ryan M.

I have driven by this place countless times and written it off but finally decided to try it, and I was beyond surprised by how delicious everything was! You can honestly not beat this place as it comes to flavor and cost, it's incredibly affordable. The service was super quick and we had all of our food within like 15 minutes. The place had some quirky decorations and vibe to it but it kinda works. Not super upscale but who needs that when you're tearing into a huge seafood boil and making a big mess. We left stuffed after not even finishing the weekly special and a small app. Would come back and recommend. Rating 4 stars as service could've been a little more friendly and accommodating.

15 Fried Calamari

Went here to celebrate a birthday. I'd never been to a seafood boil restaurant. I will definitely come back. It was a Friday night do service was a tad slow. But the food was amazing. We split the calamari and the sauce was delicious. We opted for the seafood deluxe boil and added eggs and mussels. We ordered it house style medium spice level. I appreciated the fact they provided gloves and bib. If not I would have been a huge mess. I will definitely be back. I highly recommend not wearing white clothing.

Broccoli??

Its my first time here and i was reading the reviews, its got some good reviews so i decided to try it out since I'm in this part of town. I ordered a pound of shrimps, with extra corns and extra sauce, and the calamari baskets. I got the combined flavors with medium spice and it lacks of flavors. It taste like oils only, i was only able to eat 2 shrimps. I go to every seafood boils i can find every time i travel, and this isn't one i will return. Every seafood boils i go to would include some lemons but this one doesn't, and they charge if you ask for some. The calamari baskets basket isn't as crunchy as i was expecting it to be, its soft. I ate it right away but it was soggy, so my baby ended up finishing the fries and we threw away the calamari. I've never had seafood boils with green veggies before too. This is new

We stopped in Saturday afternoon, it was busy but the building is spacious and the service is fast. I got the make your hands dirty with crab, shrimp, and mussels. The portions were good but I did order extra spicy and it wasn't super spicy. May was a good server and I really enjoyed using the cotton candy machine after.

It's hard to get a good boil this far up north but Cajun kitchen does it right. We ordered online for some takeout but upon arrival were surprised at how big the resteraunt was. Lots of parking and what seems like plenty of seating inside. Counter service was quick and our food was immediately ready for us to go. We ordered two boils, one with crawfish and sausage and one with sausage and shrimp. The boils themselves were huge! One is probably easily enough food for two. We got one in Cajun kitchen special sauce and one in Cajun medium. If you love your boils with a ton of butter the Cajun kitchen special is for you. It was way too much for my personal preference and would just go with a Cajun in the future. I'm so glad we found Cajun kitchen as it will be our go to now for when we get a craving for a food Cajun boil.

Seafood boil (shrimp, snow crab, corn, potatoes)

Well, you know it's usually a good sign when you get excited to visit a restaurant for the second or third time. This restaurant is currently second on my list of favorites that offer a seafood boil, but is nonetheless, worth the drive. We were seated almost immediately after entering. The waitress (although slightly difficult to understand), was patient with us and kept an eye out in refilling our drinks throughout the meal. As far as the food goes, there's not much I can say except that I wish I had gotten more snow crab. I felt like it wasn't enough, but it was definitely tasty and cooked to perfection along with the other items included in the dish. Overall, I still look forward to coming back the next time I'm in town.

Comes in a bag

For a daddy daughter date night, we decided to give Cajun Kitchen a try. My daughter loves shrimps and seafood in general so this was a good option for us. It was recommended by some family friends. We were seated right away. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. Fast service too. We got our waters and I ordered a beer. We decided to order the Seafood Deluxe for the two of us and were able to order it with beef sausages which was a pleasant surprise as you don't see that as often. They came over with plates, crab cracker, bibs, gloves and a bucket for the shells. The food came out pretty quickly in a plastic bag that looked like a balloon because of the steam. All that was left to do was open the bag, dump it all on the tray and dig in. We had ordered mild spice which was perfect for us since my daughter doesn't like it too spicy. The shrimp and sausages were great and tasty so was the lobster. The crab legs were hard to get the meat out of but we did ok. The vegetables were the least flavorful especially the corn and the potatoes. The flavor hadn't penetrated them as well. The broccoli was pretty good though. We also goa side order of white rice to soak all that gravy even though it was a little oily. This was an enjoyable seafood boil but not great. I would not mind going back there but would also like to try some others to see if they are better. We do make a pretty good seafood boil at home but the convenience cannot be beat.

My hubby & I just can't say enough good things about this place! We love to go here and have never had a bad experience. We will continue coming back for our Cajun fix! Our Favorite Order: "Get Your Hands Dirty" with Squid, add Shrimp (no head), Beef Sausage, Pork Sausage, Extra Corn on the Cob, Extra Potatoes & Add Hard Boiled Eggs. Get this all together in a metal tray with the "Cajun Kitchen Special" seasoning & pick your own spice level. You can get most meats by the 1/2 lb and they will accommodate if you want to add more. My Husband also loves getting the hush puppies (basically corn meal balls).

Seafood Deluxe ( Pork Sausages )
Janae J.

Love this place!! I split the seafood deluxe with my brother it comes in a huge steamy bag but before we got ahead of ourselves had to don gloves and a bib to protect the clothes. The seafood deluxe comes with Half pound shrimp (no head), one cluster snow crab leg, one lobster tail, half pound pork sausages, 4 corns, 4 potatoes and broccoli. Then you get to choose choice of sauce and spice level. We went medium and had the Cajun kitchen sauce! It was really flavorful and had a nice light kick to it. The food came quick and service was good!

Seafood deluxe

What a good lunch... Sea food deluxe -sausage, lobster, shrimp, crab legs with potatoes, broccoli and corn. cajun style so very good...

This is how the food comes to you.

I am a huge seafood fan; obviously in Minnesota it is difficult to find seafood that tastes fresh. For a seafood boil, the options were slim. Although this place offers different spice levels, the flavor tastes the same: super buttery and peppery. I prefer other seafood boils like Crafty Crab in Fridley over this place. The corn cobs were cut into quarters or thirds... totaling to a half corn cob in the entire dish. The service was pretty quick and the pricing cheaper than other locations but I likely won't be going back. Serving portions do not appear to be the 1lb sizing but I'm sure they are weighing it out. This used to be a Wendy's - they have turned the space into a nicer place with a "southern oceanic" feel. It's a good spot to go to when on a Keto diet as the carb-load is low.

Hush puppies & boil
Mimi G.

First time trying this restaurant. Nice and clean on the inside. Waiting staff were very friendly. We decided to get 1 lb crawfish + 1 lb shrimp (head on) both very good. Seafood was hot. The seasoning was not too spicy. Very flavorful. Wish there were more potatoes and corn in the boil. The red potatoes are nice and soft (tip: cut them in half so the seasoning can soak into the potatoes). Would definitely try this location again they have more options other than boils.

1 lb. Black Mussel
Uyen D.

Has a decently sized parking lot. The food was good! It hit the spot. Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff that we wanted (fried pickle and soup) was gone. I ordered the 1lb black mussel and it was delicious. The potato that it comes with was so soft! The service was decent. They gave us bibs and gloves and a trash can to throw away our shells. However, I felt a little rushed when they started trying to ask us if we wanted boxes before we were done eating.

This place continues to deliver amazing seafood boils! I get one at least once a year and have been…read moredoing so for around 10 years! This place is located in a busy strip mall, so parking can be a bit tricky but not horrible. The service here is always good! You can either order ahead of time or I always order in the restaurant and it takes about 10-15 minutes for them to get it all put together. On this stop, I saw a woman being fairly demanding to the staff and they handled it with grace! Awesome customer service! We got snow crab clusters, lobster tails, whole shrimp, mussels , corn and potatoes in spice level 2 House mix seasoning! For my Minnesota friends, 2 is fairly spicy! Not burn your mouth but have some water ready and your nose will run! Just as a heads up! There is SOOOOO much garlic!! We absolutely love it!! We dip crackers or bread in the sauce too! I've never eaten inside here, but there are a few tables. This place is always clean looking. They have had me for 10 plus years and they will continue to have my business for decades more!

A teammate and I decided to treat ourselves to a fun lunch after coordinating a train of shiny new…read morecar models at the auto show. We got there at 3:30 pm - after the lunch rush. We didn't leave until 7:45 pm, watching the dinner rush come and go while we sat and chatted for hours. The guys were so lovely - engaging, warm, welcoming - and they continually dropped by to refill my friend's emptied water cup over the course of those several hours, to the point that we all started laughing about it. The plates were generous, the seasoning on point, the spice levels perfect. There are several cajun hole-in-the-walls in the Twin Cities, and they're all very chill, but I'd say this spot takes the cake in that area. I'll be back!

We also added king crab, and it did NOT disappoint. So good! You truly can't go wrong with the Boom Mix. We ordered it medium spice and it was the perfect blend of flavor with just the right amount of heat without overpowering the seafood. Great food, great seasoning, and overall a super fun dining experience, especially for a group! We'll definitely be back!

Even without ordering their famous boil, everything I tried was fantastic. The flavors were bold, the seasoning was on point, and the portions were generous enough that I didn't feel like I'd missed out on anything. I went with a mix of appetizers and entrées instead, and honestly, each one held its own. The fried items were crispy without being greasy, the seasoning had that perfect Cajun kick, and the sides were way better than your average seafood spot. Service was friendly, the vibe was relaxed, and the food came out hot and fast. Next time I'll finally try the boil--but if you're on the fence or just not in the mood for it, trust me: you'll still eat well here. Crafty Crab delivered, boil or no boil. I'll definitely be back.
