Briana refused to serve a family that arrived 2 minutes late because the entire party was not inside before 8:45 What caught me by surprise was the entire family was only 2 minutes late and not to mention one of the guest was amputated, explaining the 2 minute delay. I found Brianna, "The Manager," unfit for the position given how she handled the situation. As the family walked out the Manager laughed at the party walking out unserved. Completely unprofessional! 1 star for bad behavior read more

This review is being written during the covid pandemic 11/2020. If you are going for the Cajun sauce don't expect a thick sauce like at the boiling crab or the big catch. This sauce is runny almost like all the seasonings are powder and possibly not fresh. It's not very flavorful. The corn that came with it didn't taste fresh either. The mango habanero sauce was good on the fries and wings but we got no ranch or blue cheese with the wings. Also we ordered the wings Buffalo and received them dry. The michelada was tasty. The staff was kind. There are no outdoor heaters but again we are in a pandemic so just bundle up. We received a free dessert, a fried Oreo with vanilla ice cream. I don't think I'd go back. The price was ok. I just wasn't wowed. read more

Food was okay, I'd give them a 7/10. My party of 4 waited almost an hour to be seated (which is limited to outside), if it wasn't for the wait I'd rate it higher. read more

Service and food is still great! Inside dining is closed, but the outdoor patio is banging...Fresh air, cool breeze, basketball game, and 90's music...Oh yeeeaah! Love me some Stinkin read more

Nelly was AMAZING! She was so sweet and attentive!!! It is rare when you come across a server so nice.

Beware!!! We ordered 3 lbs. Crawfish 1 lbs. Shrimp and we received it in a huge bag full of water seasoning with bits of garlic! The seasoning sauce should never be that thin and watery, also very salty, no time or love out in the flavor! What a disappointment, will NOT ever be back! read more

Paramount Stinkin Crawfish - Receipt of horrible seafood soaked in watery seasoning sauce! Will never be back - Seafood Near Me - Paramount, California

Received the worst service from this place they gave me the wrong order, and no one picks up on the phone number on the receipt. To drive back is not even worth my time or gas. read more

Will never be back again! Terrible costumer service. Not only was the food really bad but they also messed up my order and forgot the fries that comes with the meal! How do you miss that???! It's part of the meal!! The staff there are unprofessional. They did not have change for a 20$ bill so I stayed a little longer for that. Just a horrible experience!! Wish zero stars was an option read more

Ehhh idk about this place mixed feelings. Like the place was big and spacious,when we got there it was not busy at all so I don't get the long wait to get our order taken. Our food comes I was disappointed on how little there was... there was more bag than shrimp. like ive been to other places and was like wth okkkk. I ordered a full pound of shrimp I got what looked like half a pound. My son ordered the wings meal "these taste like little ceaser wings" is what I got from him. So yeah the food was a let down not Cajun at all. Upside of this the service was ok I guess when we did get serviced because barter a while we were unattended for half our dinner. Would I go back? No no I wouldn't sorry read more

Cajun garlic wings were really good. I requested to cook them crispy and well done and they were excellent. Thanks to Jose and Michael, you guys made some excellent Strawberry Margaritas and Rosalind provided excellent waitress service read more

The one star is only for the service. When we first arrived we had a party of 8. They were ever accommodating and cleared a table for us. We got seated and waited for our party. At first service was quick and simple, however once there was a shift change service went straight down hill. After that point our server left and we then waited almost an hour without the check or any refills and didn't receive our free Oreo. We had to walk up front for the checks and then had the balls too charge gratuity 15% on each check when we didn't receive any service after our server left. I asked to speak to the manager, which he never arrived. Thanks Jerk! The food was ok but the service sucks balls. I will never come back to this location again. If you like being treated like dirt come to this location. All front of house staff needs to be fired and they need to hire people who want to work! read more

Love this place!!!! Highly recommend the tiger shrimp, crab legs and Cajun fries. 10 out of 10 for food and service. read more

Worst shrimp in a bag I ever paid for. Even the corn in my bag was nasty... There was one guy who took our order and was helpful. The rest of the staff was unprofessional, DRINKING on the job, they would leave the beers on a table next to us and just casually come in and out to drink. Idk if it was the owner or manager but he was completely wasted no wonder the food was disgusting. read more

Came here today an Man was it good lol kinda pricey but eh it's some good food I got the snow crab an two lobster tails an potatoes an sausages an tiger shrimp with the special sauce with a side of sweet potato fries. Very tasty an good just the right amount of flavors in it read more

beckkyyy was the absolute best server to us , she treated us like we were real friends and family and kept checking up on us . would 10/10 recommend eating here read more

***POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE*** ***POOR FOOD QUALITY*** ***POOR FLAVOR*** ***POOR STAFF*** DO NOT COME HERE!! DO NOT COME HERE! DO NOT COME HERE!!! (((( GO TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION )))) Absolutely the POOREST CUSTOMER SERVICE I've ever gotten at a restaurant. I normally go to the gardena location and have never had any issues at that location itself, but this place was a definitely no go for me. right from the start I noticed this was going to be a bad experience when 3 girls standing at the front just stood around and didn't even to help us get seated they literally were just standing around joking around talking nonsense not to mention using profanity around customers... Took about another 15 minutes before anyone came to our table to take our order..not to mention potatoes were cold, like they didn't even heat them up I couldn't even say anything because they never came to our table to ask us how everything was. The sauce was terrible part of my order never even made it's way out... OH WAIT they sure didn't forget to name each song that came on as they all danced around as if it was a high school dance instead of restaurant. I'm in the restaurant business and all I gotta say whoever the manager at this establishment is IS DEFINITELY NOT DOING HIS OR HER JOB!!! I also told them that since they forgot part of my order that I didn't want it anymore and they ended up bringing it out literally when we were done eating and they still charged me for it!!!! What fathers day experience for my pops!! read more

Had dinner with my daughter while we watched game 6 of the NBA finals on the many TVs in the restaurant. Our wait wasn't long to be seated. The hostess was super nice and animated. The staff was super helpful and checked on us often. The flavor was soooo much better than any other chain. I started with a tasty Michelada that was only $7. We had the King Crab legs, green mussels, tiger shrimp and lobster tails. I gotta stay away from this place or I'll go broke. The prices are much better than most chains but I'm already addicted and would probably eat here daily.. lol read more

Worst service ever, as per food. Just plain!. Will, not retutn. Sorry, they disn't even deserve a tip. That's how bad it was.

This place was better than expected. TVs everywhere, draft beer, big portions of shrimp, lobster soaking in butter and Cajun seasoning, Cajun fries, and bacon wrapped jalapenos. Then they give you complementary fried Oreo with ice cream. Great place to go. read more

See all

Happy to see this restaurant close to home, not happy that our crab legs were so salty we couldn't eat them! I told the waitress who then said it wasn't her first complaint about them and that she'd let the Manager know; she came back to tell me the crab is salty because of the vendor they use and it's nothing they can do. Wait what? So I have to pay $25 a bag for something I can't eat? And how rude of mgmt to not even come to the table themselves to explain the vendor issue. FYI I go to the Downey location often and this has never happened so are there different vendors? Can I get the vendors name and make a complaint? Do you salt your water when you boil? So many questions and no answers so here is your yelp review maybe you can respond to me here since you wouldn't when I was there. read more

I am not too big of a seafood person but the generosity of Johnny set me up to try new things. His honesty led me to getting shrimp (only seafood I eat) and mussels (never tried before). I tried the mussels and I am upset at myself for not trying this earlier in my life. I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT! The happy hour grub is outstanding, beware of the Cajun fries, they're addicting!! Definitely will be back to this location ! read more

1st time there, nice place, warm reception(Mo). Stopped in for a quick bite ordered catfish, fries and corn( lunch special) Catfish-great , fries were siracha and honey-too sweet for me but ok, corn was good. Ordered Cadillac Margarita nice drink again too sweet for my taste Overall nice clean place will definitely return and check out the shrimp. Great Service read more

Girl with purple hair gave attitude and wanted to charge an extra 15% and stated that it was for take out only.....really bad customer service!!!!!!!!!! read more

I called today at 7:33 pm to place an order, girl answered and was careless about taking my order. I asked to speak to someone else and to speak to the manager, girl said her name was V and she was the manager. She took my card 3 times, having to repeat card several times she said my card was declined. I gave her my boyfriend card she said it was declined, and I gave her my friends card and she said it was declined. I asked her if it was the machine she finally said yes. She was rude and sarcastic and hung up. Worries that she might have stolen my card numbers, so unprofessional. read more

Soooooooooooo, on Monday I went by this place to get what was supposed to be a Pound of Shrimp, Medium Spice; with Sausage; and they gave me HALF of this Boiling Crab in the pic shown. I went back after noticing how empty my bag was; and the COOK refused to put more Shrimp in. For starters you weigh a pound of Shrimp; then you put all the other stuff in; but it looked like COOK counted the pound with a bunch of juice!!! Fortunately I was able to get my money back; and I drove all the way to Westminster to get what I really wanted. Don't charge MORE MONEY than the BEST; and be half ass about it. I will NEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVER be going here again!!! Once again the picture shown is from the delicious Boiling Crab; go there instead. Call to get wait times... read more

Paramount Stinkin Crawfish - 1 FULL Pound of Boiling Crab Shabang, Medium Spice, with Sausage. - Seafood Near Me - Paramount, California

DO NOT COME HERE. they do not allow service animals. And I'm not talking emotional support dog. But a service animal for disability. They told I had to put my dog in A BAG. A JOKE. the manager is incompetent and the better business bureau will definitely hear about this one read more

If I could give this location a 0 star I would the manager is HORRIBLE! We ordered 3lbs of snow crab and they waitress came and told us they just ran out. So I asked if he could give us the king crab at the snow crab price or discounted and he was a jerk. Said no but couldn't even tell us himself sent the super sweet waitress to tell us. Horrible customer service. Your willing to just walk away from money than accommodate the customer. Will NEVER go back to this location. Not sure how many managers they have but he was Hispanic with a beard. Closed Friday night 7/9/21. I truly hope someone reprimands him, completely unacceptable. read more

Only reason I'm giving this location 3 stars and not 2 is because everyone has been closed and it will take a while for restaurants to get the hang of things.... There was no wait and they brought us in immediately. I asked the guy if we could just sit anywhere and he said yes. We waited for over 20 minutes for a server to come to our table. I'm usually pretty patient, however there was only two other customers aside from us. A family came after us and were served immediately. I had to make eye contact with someone at the bar to finally get a server. Server came and took our order.The food was pretty good but they forgot to bring our garlic bread. I asked the server and she said "oh I'll check on it". We didn't receive it until we were almost done eating. We were NEVER checked on. Not once did someone ask if we needed any additional drinks. My friend had to stop a server walking by to get another drink. My friend also had to walk to another table to get napkins....and we had to wave someone down TWICE to get our bill. The girl serving us walk by many times and not once asked if we needed anything. I don't expect servers to bend over backwards but geez at least provide good customer service. Also the table was pretty dusty and the seats greasy. Additionally something is up with your credit card machine. The girl said my card declined so we put the tab on my friend's card but we were both charged. Fortunately, they didn't charge him the whole amount. I read another review about someone having a similar experience read more

Super delicious!! Highly recommended for family eatery!! One of the few places in paramount for family meal! read more

Went here just because I didn't feel like driving all the way to garden grove for boiling crab , customer service isn't so good other then one young lady who checks up on you , food was alright satisfied my craving . Waited about 30 mins although it wasn't so packed . Really recommend if your just craving cajun food , read more

First place that charges a 10% fee to place an order for pick up. The sauce was watery not the thick Cajun sauce I'm used too. Overall don't waste your money their is plenty of these places around take it there and get your money's worth somewhere else read more

If you're here because you yelped "boiling crab," and it's just too far away, this is a decent alternative of Cajun seafood. The sauce is a bit salty but the seafood seemed fresh. Dollar oysters aren't quality oysters but not bad. The king crab legs shortage continues - no Stinkin place has It. Their fries were super crispy on outside and soft on inside. Didn't think I'd rave about their fries of all things , but that , I approve ! It filled the craving for Cajun seafood but it's no original boiling crab. read more

Loved this place. Great music and the servers worked there butts off making sure everyone was taken care of. The food was fresh and hot. Stinkin special is the best flavor. Bacon wrapped shrimp ...FIRE! Honey sriracha fries are Amazing. Peeled shrimp was ok...upgrade if you can. Fried Oreo desert is great. Highly recommend this little gem. Ooh and I loved the music! read more

First time visit and it was amazing. The staff was friendly and everyone was helpful. Not once did we feel pushed away from other servers because we weren't at "their" table. Our family has 2 toddlers and everyone was very patient and helpful. The great food and garlic bread and of course mango michi were all just cherries on top of the delicious complimentary dessert. Special thanks to Andre. Sydney and Chris. We will definitely be back. read more

Just had lunch here today with the family. The food and customer service was amazing! We got the Crabby Lobster Combo and the buffalo wings meal... to h and rice. The wings weren't that good, but the seafood definitely made up for that. The combo we got came with 2 lobster tails, crabs, shrimp, corn, potatoes and sausage (I forgot how many pounds of each) in the stinkin special sauce mild. I really liked the sauce because it wasn't too salty or spicy...it was perfect. The food got to us steaming hot and I love that they checked on us to make sure we were okay or to see if we needed anything. One of the guys even stopped by our table to chat about how he mixes his food that makes a great combo we should try (and he was right, it was yummy)! Overall, it was Stinkin goo read more

Paramount Stinkin Crawfish - Crabby Lobster: Crab legs, Lobster, Shrimp, Corn, Potatoes and Sausage in stinkin special sauce (mild) - Seafood Near Me - Paramount, California

Decided to check this spot out since paramount has never really had restaurants.i had 1 and a half pound of shrimp which were super big and good. I also had 4 oysters each one for a dollar and a michelada which was ehhh. I don't know if it was because i was by myself but the customer service was not that great, after receiving the food no one asked me if i needed anything so i kept to myself. I needed lime and also never got the order of fries which were on my check. They were not attentive at all. I waited for 10 mins to pay but no one came even tho i had my debit card on the check tray. I got up to pay and the girl near the register did not even look my way ones. Stood there for a minute or so and a couple walked in and she quickly walked to the register and the man blurred out "we were already outside and we realized we didn't pay" she began to print out their check ready to charge them so i pushed the tray with my check towards her before she charged them cus she really did not even acknowledge my presence. On the bright side they have free desert. read more

The gumbo was not what I expected it look like jello slime out of a can. But the seafood was good. read more

Paramount Stinkin Crawfish - Disappointing gumbo it was like a pile of Jell-O lumped together out of a can or something. The shrimp bag and crabs were good. - Seafood Near Me - Paramount, California

Place deserves 0 stars. They had me waiting almost 2 hours for my food pick up order.On the seafood bags I ordered, the sauces were wrong. The two fish plates with fries were cold. I sent an email and left 3 voicemail. No answer, no response. read more
