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

    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.

    The food was good side note mix the bag before you pour it out so the flavors an sauce gets all over the seafood. This was my first time and the waitress didn't explain it. Now it's a good value for what it is. I feel what I was disappointed was their are a good amount of waitress but mine did not service us adequately. Second the tables are smooched together you are packed to close for comfort for me. Getting up to refill your own drinks and use restroom is such a tight fit. And lastly we ordered their poor excuse of beignets. Just thinking about them makes me want to gag. They oil they fry them in are so old it tasted like a fried croissant from pillsbury with powered sugar .. HARD PASS. But like I say give it a try and you decide.

    First time here but most definitely not the last. This place is awesome, from the staff to the food. Tried the all you can eat and I can barely move on how full I am. Overall, awesome experience. Joryl was very great to us.

    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! :)

    We like to come after work and it's not packed so we tend to beat the crowd. The boil is amazing and the service is good. We love ordering the all you can eat which allows our group to have a variety each time. Haven't made it for live crawfish season yet but we will definitely be back to try it out.

    Visited a friend in the area and this was our last stop such a great choice! We came around 6 PM on a Tuesday and hit the perfect time for unlimited shrimp, crab, clams, corn, and more. Everything was fresh and packed with flavor. Gio was our server and he was awesome. Super friendly and attentive the whole time. Service was 10/10! Loved the Hawaiian-style decor too, it totally fits the chill, beachy vibe. Plenty of free parking, which is always a plus. Great spot to end the night with good food and good company.

    Yes!!! Sop good for cheap eats and the sauces are damn good!!! Soop.worth it. Service is awesome! Definitely a must try!! They dont have king crab currently.. but the first round of snow crab (1lbs) is free.. it was quite when we went but I can see it can get cracking later... the assassin sauce isn't too spicy as I thought.. but everything was good

We ordered combo #1 which came with potatoes, corn, sausages and 3 pounds of your choice of seafood: clam, mussels, shrimp or crawfish. We got the crawfish, shrimp and clams. I'll use 3 works to describe the quality of the seafood: FRESH, DELICIOUS, and MEATY. To summarize, the quality is amazing and the price is worth it. If you're not dining it, order it to go! They serve it on a foil pan so it's easy to transport and even reheat in the oven. The sauce is delicious, the spice isn't spicy at all (but my tolerance is pretty up there), and their service is amazing.

I felt an hour for two burritos was excessive so declined adding anything else. Moments later my bread appeared. It took a full hour and some change to receive our order which I thought was unreasonable, especially since at this point we were the only patrons. Overall: Food was alright, reasonably priced, and portions were aligned with the price. However, I would recommend ordering ahead or anticipate a long wait time.

It's one of those dishes that makes you realize the meal is almost over right when you're hitting peak satisfaction. A little emotional damage there.

What I had to say goodbye one last time!? * Seafood Bisque: This was incredibly rich and velvety, as always. You can tell they don't ever skimp on the seafood--it was packed with flavor and the perfect way to start the meal. * Hush Puppies: Golden, crispy, and exactly what a hush puppy should be. They have that slightly sweet cornmeal interior that pairs so well with their savory dishes. Always worth adding! * Combo Jambalaya Plate: A massive portion and pure comfort. The spices were spot on--bold but not overwhelming--and every bite was loaded with meat and perfectly cooked rice. My goto comfort... The Next Chapter: For anyone worried about losing these flavors: don't panic! While Ragin' Cajun is closing, the owner and chef are reopening very soon in the same spot as Redondo Beach Grill. It's the same team and the same talent, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they evolve the menu while keeping that local heart alive. Their email to followers says they will keep a few menu items as well (doesn't say which ones!?) Thank you to the entire crew for years of amazing meals and hospitality. These flavors WILL be missed!! See you at the new, well, same spot (new name and decor!?)
