I was excited to try this place that has been trending. The food was okay . The first round we had got the shrimp was so over cooked it was mushy. We didn't say anything after we ordered our second round. Our waiter was Ophelia , Aurelia I can't remember but she was Hispanic she had some beautiful blue nails . Haha We was very patient with us and was able to answer all the questions she had and suggested we got the hawaian coconut flavor is was delicious and we like that flavor a lot it was good the ambience is nice very hipster. A lot is drinks like buzz balls and beatbox s

We visited this seafood boil restaurant for a close friend's birthday celebration, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. They offer all you can eat options, the restaurant was very busy, and there was a bit of a wait. Once seated, we were placed at a table in the middle of the restaurant that was uneven and had to be adjusted multiple times because it kept wobbling. The menus we received were extremely worn, making many of the items hard to read. We requested replacement menus, but the new ones were in similar condition. Our server seemed impatient when answering questions about the menu. Friend asked if she could substitute an item because she has a crab allergy. Waiter told us no substitutions were allowed. After explaining that the request was due to an allergy, the response was essentially, "Then maybe don't order that." Rude & unprofessional. When our food arrived, the portions were nice, but the overall quality was underwhelming. We all ordered different sauces, yet they all tasted exactly the same, just pure garlic. The biggest issue was the service. After our food was delivered, we rarely saw our server again. She was more attentive to other tables, our table received no follow up after food arrived me needed more lemons salt and pepper. Birthday girl received a sweet treat, complimentary. That was nice BUT they were cold and hard as a rock. They remained untouched. Considering the cost, it wasn't worth it. The poor service, menu issues, and disappointing food? we won't be returning. Next time, we'll be sticking with our usual seafood spot.

Amazing Service My first time here Really Worth it My Girlfriend Told me about this place so today we decided to come on by and Amazing Service got us in fast 10/10 customer service and Food Came out right on Time Worth It. And The Music In here Always an Banger after Banger If your in Carson Come one By.

If you are looking for All You Can Eat seafood boil, this is the place! It is served family style, you choose the options. A bag of snow crackers are included in the first order if you choose it with no up charge! They have different flavors and in my humble opinion, the sauces here taste better than most boil restaurant. Their alcoholic drinks are affordable and delicious, along with flavored fires and appetizers. The service is awesome as well. Their drinks are self-served and the restrooms are clean.

3lbs of shrimp, quail eggs, corn, sausage All-In sauce mild.

I've been to the one in Vegas. So thought we'd try one closer to home in Carson. Service was good. Wait staff was friendly. Didn't do much checking up on us though. Ran out of water pretty quickly at the table and it was not refilled the entire time we were eating. The main difference that I didn't like about this location vs the Vegas location, everyone shared the same bag of food. So couldn't get it the way I wanted. Had to get the Assassin level of spicy on the side. Which I was charged an additional $3 for. My friend wanted spicy, and again had to pay an additional $3 for. So an additional $6 because 2 of our group if 4 can't handle too much spice; so we had to order mild. Seems like they nickel and dime you at the Carson location; whereas the Vegas location, each person got their own bag the way they want it for the same price. $39.99 for all you can eat seafood boils not bad though. And the food was good. It was pretty loud in there. We couldn't really talk too much because of the noise level. Not just with the other patrons in the establishment but also the music playing. At one point, the noise level actually started to give me a headache. Would probably go back again, but wouldn't pay extra for the additional sauce.

Eat all you can seafood and sides. Problem during our dinner (family of 15+) -- they always shortchange what we order. It's either there's not enough crab legs or entirely no sausages (and when we tell them it's missing -- we really don't get anything at all). You order the sides -- something is always missing!!! We ordered rice -- they provided towards the last 15minutes of the meal even if we asked it upon ordering our first bags. Service was generally slow (took way loooong before getting started). They were busy, most servers were nice, but some were just annoyed we keep saying we were missing something from the order. Not the best spot to be honest.

Castaway Combo
Thiri Z.

This place has been on my list but haven't had a chance to try until now. We got the Castaway Combo, and added quail eggs and extra corn and got the OG Crab n Spice sauce in medium heat. This was actually pretty decent heat, just the extra sauce at the bottom so mix it up pretty well before you put it in the pan. Overall the shrimp was nice and jumbo, the mussels were good and so was the snow crab. Everything was tasty! This along with the Cajun Fries, asked for the aloi on the side, plus the green beans was perfect for 3 people, and we had left overs. My mom doesn't really wat crab so she enjoyed the fries and loved the green beans! It's a must order if you go. The service was good, everyone was nice and attentive. The place def had a crab shack vibe. Overall it's a decent place to get lunch. We spent about $129 for thedr 3 items, plus add on. Not including tip. The all you can eat might be worth it for some. But, not for us. But this was already a lot of food.

Small Parking lot, Huge open space seating. It is a very cozy and welcoming ambiance. The waiter was very patient with us asking a lot of questions & indecisive because it was out first time there. It is all you can eat for $39.99/adult & $17.99/kids - however $$$ add up with drinks, add-ons, etc. Great tasting seafood though!! Highly recommend and will be going back - if & when I am in Carson! :)

There was such genuine warmth and kindness. They didn't make us feel like we were simply customers having a birthday dinner, they made us feel like family. As a daughter, there's something incredibly special about watching your dad turn 80 and seeing him happy, laughing, sharing stories about our family history, and surrounded by people who truly enjoyed celebrating him. By the end of the evening, it felt like Pops had gained a new Darrow's family, and that touched my heart. Thank you, Darrow's, for loving on my dad and helping our family celebrate 80 years of his life. You played an instrumental part in creating a memory that we will cherish for years to come. The food was wonderful, the service was exceptional, but the way you made my dad feel is what I'll remember most. Five stars PLUS! + We will absolutely be back.

I was craving some fried fish and shrimp after a night class and found this gem! Smells great upon arrival I got the Fried Fish & Shrimp Combo w Creole fries. I had a long drive home so I snacked throughout to make sure I tasted it fresh. It was good and could taste the Cajun seasoning through the batter real good and their Creole fries heavily seasoned to taste, love it. After a while tho (ofc) the drive the rest was real cold and the batter was super thick so it made it kind of soggy. still a great meal tho (: i plan to dine in next time

Easy parking. Good, nice, and friendly service by the "daddies" that work there…read more I've eaten at several other similar restaurants, but the food here didn't quite hit the spot. The flavor was kind of off -- too heavy on the garlic and the sauce was too light. I also find this place too pricey for what you get. I also ordered one side of corn, which is $3.50 for 2 pieces. I was charged $7 but only received 2 pieces of corn. Same thing happened to my coworker who ordered the same thing! Their corn was also on the harder side. $5 for small rice?! I was charged $10 for 2 small rice. BUT ON THE MENU, RICE IS ONLY $2.50! I only received 2 side orders of rice. THERE IS DEFINITELY A DISCREPANCY WITH THE PRICES ON THE MENU AND THE PRICES THAT ARE PRINTED ON THE RECEIPT! Look at my receipt and their menu. I SUGGEST GOING TO SHRIMP LOVER, BOILING CRAB, CRAB SHACK, OR HOT AND JUICY CRAWFISH FOR BETTER QUALITY AND BETTER TASTING FOOD.

Grabbed some beignets to go, but kicking myself for not getting the peach cobbler one last time.

Not just in sponsorships but in their parking lot parties which always showcased great local bands and putting on one hell of a free show for the customers!

Heads up: After 32 years of serving the South Bay: Ragin' Cajun will close its doors on March 1,…read more2026. So go soon if you're hankering for Cajun à la Cuisine Acadienne. Bon Chance et Prospérité!!! Ragin' Cajun looks as though it were plucked right out of the Bayou Tèche in Southern Louisiana. I could be somewhere on a back road near Saint Martinville. The owner was in her Mardi Gras best in shades of purple, gold, and green on this Tuesday the day before Ash Wednesday. Parking lot has over grown plantings that also feels Southern. Kinda charmingly ramshackled, self consciously kitschy to perhaps reference itself to the rightfully proud "Coonass" culture. 1) Cajun Fried Chicken: "Perfectly seasoned and cooked with our own secret spices." Very delicately seasoned unlike the bold flavors of Cajun spice mix added in when I ate fried chix near West Feliciana Parish, LA. But the buttermilk marinade made the meat soft, moist except the breast which in most cases is almost always drier. The thigh has a combination of lush fat & plush, Jidori-like meat that was impressive. I wish I could only order the thighs. However, the menu says "no substitutions" which I respect. Sides: a) Delightful Hush Puppies like buttermilk donut holes except pleasantly extra crispy almost crunchy on the outside and cakey inside when hot from the frier. Almost subliminal chicken fat flavour as though it were fried in the same oil to fry chicken. b) Corn Bread is moist, dense, cakey. Probably has a bit of wheat flour, and not the crumbly pure corn meal type. 2) Crawfish Étouffée Combo: a) Crawfish Étouffée has a great buttery, suave, smooth roux with subtle Cajun Mirepoix contrasting well with the chewy Crawfish tails. Of the 3, the Étouffée was the most sophisticated. b) Gumbalaya with the same dry, shredded fibrous breast meat absorbing Gumbo soup which had very little Umami. A dash of Cajun Power Lightin' Strikes with a sharp gastrique pepped up the Gumbo enough. c) Red Beans & Rice with that earthy legume scent & rather bland yet porky Sausage was good. When the Cajun Power Garlic sauce was judiciously applied, it kicked this dish up a notch. All the above was served with very soft, well sauced rice. 3) Butter Cake: Heated, soft, gooey, mushy w/ nice light, toasty caramel taste, soothingly butter scented, rounded flavours. Dollop of good dairy scented vanilla ice cream, and drizzling of fruity strawberry sauce. Perfect for those with a major sweet tooth. 1-3a) Iced Tea and lots of it to slake the thirst after 1 1/2 hours of driving to Redondo Beach and to clear my palate during a massive meal of which I am not complaining. MJ née Australia was friendly and convivial, and conveyed a warm "Laissez les bons temp rouler." It's a little piece of Lafayette in Redondo Beach. 3+/4- stars
