We ordered the Ultimate Crab Combo (Full Snow Crab) with garlic butter, shrimp, and clams. While the snow crabs were large, several legs were hollow, and some of the shrimp were overcooked. There was barely any garlic butter--just a yellow residue--and it tasted like garlic powder, not real garlic. CajunCrackin' is closed for renovation, and if they were open, I wouldn't have ordered here. The amount we paid was not worth it. read more

This place had bad service and the food wasn't good. The all you can eat seafood has went up by 20 dollars . The quality of the food was not good. I ordered all you can eat seafood and had to pay an extra 40 for the all you can eat crab add on . The waiter had so many rules about ordering the all you can eat meal it took her about 15-20 minutes to go over all the rules. Rule 1: If 1 person orders all you can eat seafood boil with the extra 40 dollar add on all you can crab boil. Everyone at your table has to order the same thing and if they don't order the same thing they have to seat at a different table , and if you do all order the same thing you can't share with your party . Rule 2 : you must eat everything off your plate before you can get second of any other items. Rule 3: you only have 2 hours to eat then you have to go. Mind you the waiter only came to our table once only to give us the first round and then 15 minutes before are time was up she came back. Almost to try make sure we wouldn't get a second round of food. The was so bad I didn't even finish the first round of food nor did I want seconds . The crawfish was still cold when I eat it. Rule 4 : It was a mandatory 20% tip included when you pay. Even if they only come to your table once and have horrible service skills. It was a party of four and we spent almost $400.00 It definitely was NOT worth it. I rate the food 1/10 I rate the service 2/10 I do not recommend. read more

My brother sent me a TikTok about the place so we decided to have a girls day. Plenty of parking but kinda hidden. We were greeted & seated as soon as we walked in. The place was surprisingly empty but it was a holiday. The place was clean and had TVs We all ordered a combo boil. All got the house sauce. Mom & I got the garlic noodles and my daughters got steamed rice. We enjoyed everything we had and plan on going back. read more

Walked in on a Friday afternoon wi the the family not packed at all ; the place is a little hidden and you outta be local to know the main entrance lol.The place is huge with plenty of seating, we were greeted by our server, she was very polite and attentive, service was great overall.Now the food ...I was very disappointed we ordered 3 shrimp boil combs , the boil was bland not flavorful some shrimp were very chewy at as if they just poured the boil into our bags straight from yhe pot.I asked for more kick and they were very polite about it.The cook brought over the sauce but still no salt was tasted.We ended up with around 1.5 lbs to take home.The rice tasted a day old.I ended reheating and adding our kick and spices which made a huge difference.We also ordered the fried calamari which was disappointing.The coke I ordered was flat and add a odd after taste. read more

Crab Boil & Things - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Concord, California

Not a fan of the sauce, but my experience was great. Servers were friendly. Food was plentiful. My wife loved her experience as well. We will be going back! The servers were nice. The restaurant was clean and so was the food stations. Everything was served hot and delicious. I consider this to be one of the better spots that I've had since being here in Cali. read more

I wanted some crawfish and decided to give em a try. It was slow at the time. Service was pretty good. TVs and music weren't too loud, pretty chill vibe. Seafood Boil 3outta5 Pretty good flavor, could've been spicier. Mussels were nice and meaty. Snow crab was pretty good but there were some legs that were overcooked. Crawfish was a complete let down. I'm pretty sure they were previously frozen and just tossed in. They were dry, no juice in the head at all. They were a decent size just not cooked correctly. Garlic noodles 3outta5 They were ok. Garlic flavor was weak and they were a bit oily. Purple Rain cocktail 5outta5 It was refreshing & tasted great! I paid the 79.99 all you can eat for 2hrs. If I'd had 2hrs I would've made it worth my while. Although the quality didn't align w/the price, I'd try them again sans the crawfish. #GoTaste&See read more

AYCE seafood boil LFG!!!!!!! My partner and I have been on the hunt for good Cajun food lately and finally came across Crab Boil Things. This is a great deal if you have an appetite for seafood. We walked in on a Sunday and were seated after around 15 mins wait. Packed full...! Super casual, homey environment with great service. A tad grimey though, sticky tables lol. Good thing there's paper covers and gloves ^^; We ordered a few rounds of seafood, with garlic noodles as a side. The seafood is pretty fresh, though I wish their sauces were a bit more flavorful. The sheer quantity does make up for that though. Would def come back when the craving hits again... :P read more

My boyfriend and I had never been to an AYCE Seafood Boil before, but this is definitely the place to be! Tucked in at the end of a strip mall, you enter from the side to a dining room with multiple tables. Tables are wide and we came in around 5:30PM on a Saturday night, beating the dinner rush. Jessica was our waitress and she was the best! Although the restaurant started to get busy, she was very attentive and checked in with every table. She was honest, informative, friendly, and helpful. She explained the rules behind the AYCE option, reviewed our choices, and informed us we could also get half orders so we wouldn't have so much food. We ordered the AYCE with the crab legs upgrade, so about $80 a person. A tad pricey. I ordered clams, shrimp head off, sausage, corn, potatoes, snow crab legs, and a strawberry lemonade (unlimited refills). I also got the garlic butter and medium spice, which was fantastic. The combination flavors with medium spice was also really good! We got a TON of shrimp and clams, which makes sense, as they were trying to fill us up on the cheaper seafood. For our second order, we ordered less food and bumped up to spicy level. Mistake! It was very spicy and our server informed us that it was because they add habanero for that level. (Two habaneros for volcano level). However Jessica was so great she offered a solution of bringing us the broth so we could water down the spice and it worked! All the seafood was cooked, the snow crab legs were easy to eat, and HUGE PORTIONS. We definitely got our moneys worth. Presentation was excellent, they gave us all the lemon, salt and pepper, gloves, bibs, plates, utensils, we needed. They brought our bowls and our bags in a big bubble to keep the food presentable. There is a 18% gratuity, so fair warning. But the star of the show was literally Jessica. I cannot express how much of a help she was. She was so honest and informative. Give her a raise! She made sure we were informed, taken care of, and knew how best to proceed. When we come back we definitely want to be helped by her! 5 stars specifically for her! read more

Food here NEVER disappoints! My family and I always leave very satisfied wanting more actually but our bellies say otherwise! The garlic noodles are DELi-Si-Oh-SOoO!! & the steamed rice is so fluffy! We always do the Rockin Combo Sauce with Mild flavor of spice and it's the Ultimate Lobster Combo! Truly recommend! =P P.S Extra points for the good old school music and Jessica's AhhhhhhhMazing service! Her bubbly energy just makes the food taste even yummier! (She deserves a raise!! ) read more

Good and Bad - The BAD.... the bathroom is filthy!..in addition Sink was clogged.. . - It's an expensive adventure... without drinks around $75... then add 15-18% tip auto added by party size. Bill for 2 with crab and 2 Margaritas $190. ------- - The GOOD.... the crab is excellent!!( favorite for me was the snow crab, but dungeness crab also good) -The seasoning used is delicious... -The service is spot on EXCELLENT! The men who work here are exceptional waiters... their timing is spot on... true professionals. - The Margaritas are wonderful. Truely perfect.. and confess in different flavors. read more

Gave this place another try after having a bad experience and they have really redeemed themselves! Jessica had amazing customer service, Diana could use some help, but they kept the food coming. The seafood is fresh and the noodles are delicious. I do wish there was a little less garlic in the garlic butter sauce but everything was tasty. You can't beat $5 shots and $3 beers. Multiple tvs for watching games. I would suggest dressing warm because it is always a bit chilly. All in all great pre Christmas meal and I'm glad I came. read more

I was so excited to have some seafood . My friend and I found this place and gave it a try . At the end of night . We asked for our check to be spilt my friend pay for her stuff and I pay for mine. After I pause for my half I realized the math wasn't right ! They over charged me 20+ dollars . When asked for my receipt to show what I paid I realized she put my friends items on my receipt. They proceeded to ask if my friend could Zelle me or Cash App me the difference . Excuse me ?! It's not her job to fix this !!! then told me they couldn't give the difference . It took the manager of the restaurant to come and tell her to give me the difference . Which she lied about. Cause she said they don't do that . WILL NEVER COME BACK!! Ps . The food wasn't good enough to even deal with the hassle. read more

This place has a really good seafood boil. Garlic noodles had a really good flavor. Everything tasted fresh. Our server was so nice and helpful! read more

Great food, generous portions, and great service! Great place to watch a game and you don't feel rushed out.

So we normally go to Cajun Crackin, but we wanted to give this place a try. I am very glad that we did! The food is great, especially if you get the sauce spicy, and the staff here are extremely friendly. I probably asked for a million things this trip but I received it with a smile. Will definitely be coming back again. read more

It was our first time visit & it was a great visit ! We were coming from a New Year's trip in Reno & it was on our way home & a friend had mentioned this place to try out. We literally almost went to the wrong one & our friend told us the right one to go to . Luckily it was in the same proximity so no u turn necessary! It's in a small shopping area , right in the corner. Later in the evening & not exactly a well lit area but we found it! The inside is simple & tables are lined with white paper ready to eat for a crab boil ! Literally lots to pick from at different price ranges & different cocktail options from beer , margaritas, shots for $5! Whoa! We decided we would have micheladas & garlic noodles w/crab meat & fried oysters . It all arrived fresh & hot & absolutely delicious. Please order the Hawaiian shrimp on point delicious , the micheladas were tasty & perfect too! Service was outstanding, Dom use to work at restaurant we still frequent it was nice to see him after four years . He has always been a customer oriented young man , so very attentive & hardworking. We will definitely be coming back, the staff here are all very nice & welcoming. read more

Service was top notch, food was excellent and came out perfect, my daughter ordered the snow Crab Combo plenty of food

I will never come here again waste of money , if you know what a real crab boil is don't come here. Watery & no flavor ... yes the manager tried to fix it but it was no saving it. Something told me to leave when I walked in because it smelled like throw up not a seafood smell. read more

Crab Boil Things - Never Again This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. My boyfriend and I went in excited to try something new we love seafood but Crab Boil Things was a total disappointment. We ordered the fish-crab combo. It was cheap, but now I know why. The entire boil was watery, flavorless, and had no butter. The shrimp, crawfish, and crab all tasted frozen not fresh like they claim. And if it really was fresh, then it was poorly handled, because my crawfish was dirty. That's just not okay. We barely touched our food, except for the garlic noodles, which were the only thing we could tolerate. Two full bowls went untouched. Not worth the money or time. Don't be fooled by the name or the pictures Crab Boil Things is a hard pass. read more

A fun and excellent meal for a pretty good price. This is my favorite Cajun place in the area. I usually add two potatoes and some corn to round out this wonderfully spicy and delicious shrimp. Also, they have a fantastic mango margarita! And yes, I usually get two of those as well. #TravelsWithDucky read more

Crab Boil & Things - Shrimp Head Off - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Concord, California

First time visiting and this place is a solid 4 in my book. The location is in an older shopping center. Where we parked I guess was in the back and had to head down breezeway to find the door. We had booked for a large party of about 12 people. I quickly realized our party was the smaller parties they were serving. They had the typical wax paper lined table set up. The place was rustic and just felt like a place you could relax in. I'm not a big fan of the seafood boils but my party was. They seemed to enjoy it. The garlic noodles were a hit. A must have. The food was tasty, good sized portion on the sandwich. Where is slightly dropped for me was the service, it's not the servers fault they had large parties but certainly seen a lot more attention at the smaller two top versus the larger tables. My party for examples didn't get drinks until after the meals were served but the party across where get shots like rapid fire. Again no biggie because for the food and ambiance made up for it. I think the gal running the host desk may have been the manager and she was helpful to grab things we needed (like crab crackers). If you don't eat seafood like my kids they liked the wings, chicken strips and the Cajun fries. I look forward to trying them again in the future without the large group. read more

Portions are huge! Staff was amazing and very friendly. Got the all you can you eat and couldn't even get through the first round. Definitely worth it read more

Great experience. The whole staff was great and gave out excellent service. Shrimp with signature combo was amazing.

To each their own but I dont understand the people saying it's bland. Seasonings are the cheapest ingredients LOL why would they cut cost there? Anyways the SEAFOOD is really fresh. They actually have fresh crawdads and are honest enough to say they also sell frozen. I personally loved the flavoring. Service was great. The new ownership stepped it up on in my opinion. read more

Amazing Service! We were seated quickly, all the waitresses/waiters were on top of everything. Never had to ask for a refill or anything they were always one step ahead. Food was amazing, we got the Ultimate King Crab boil and it was the perfect amount for two of us plus a shrimp here and there for our littles. 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back again. read more

We did the ayce option and absolutely loved it. This was definitely worth the travel there from Hayward! The seafood was super fresh, especially the crawfish! We haven't had crawfish that fresh in what feels like forever. We also love the garlic noodles and fries. The staff were great and super attentive. We loved the vibe of the restaurant, but this was a great reflection of the great staff here! read more

Crab Boil & Things - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Concord, California

We went there to celebrate my birthday with my family...Soooooo good and theybserve was excellent!!!

I give this place a solid four. The four mainly comes from the portion size of the all you can eat, as well as the taste of the actual seafood. I took away one star for the random service and they added 15% gratuity which I don't think is fair when your service is not quite up to par. However, my friends and I came here today to have the all you can eat and add it on the snow and Dungeness crab Option for 20 extra dollars. We were able to pick what we wanted inside of our bag, our flavor and spice level. Also, you can pick some side dishes like rice, chicken tenders, garlic noodles. I think the next time I go, I won't get the extras or the sausage and potatoes because those are quite filling and being a crab lover. I will focus mainly on getting just the seafood. I got full on my first bucket because of the extras, I think. The flavoring of the combo seasoning was really good And I first got the spicy and moved over to the volcano. If you like spicy, I definitely would put the volcano over spicy. The service itself was kind of random and our server forgot a few things at times like our drinks. I am also not a fan of plastic and paperware when you're spending that much money at a restaurant. I get that it's easier for clean up but honestly as a patron I would rather have had a regular fork and a regular bucket or at least a bowl to put my Crab shells. All in all I think I will be back. Just one thing, if you're going to get the all you can eat, everyone at the table has to get the same thing. I also had a frozen mango margarita which was pretty good, if you don't drink it fast enough though it does melt down pretty quickly. read more

Ordered food for the first time and was happy about it soon as I got it, the sauce was more buttery and thin taste was not good at all I couldn't even finish the meal but service is good and fast but food was not on the top list for me at all read more

Sat at the bar approximately 15 minutes, never to be acknowledged. Servers passed, conversed with one another and helped patrons in the dining area, while I was ignored. I finally asked a server if the bar was open (it was around 4p and they have a $5 shot sign up), her reply was we are not serving drinks in the bar area. "Thanks for letting me know!" So disappointed with the service. Needless to say I left. read more
