Pirates Kitchen - Head on Shrimp Seafood Boil + Cajun Fries + Soju - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

I came here for 2 reasons: 2lbs for $20 and $1 soju shots. Pirate's Kitchen did not disappoint!  2lbs of head-on shrimp for $20 is a great deal for seafood boils in this area. It;s also just a pretty good quality seafood boil as well. The shrimp was well cooked, and everything was flavorful but not salty. I do think that the deal is now $25 for 2lbs, but that is still cheaper than most places around. I added sausage, corn, and potatoes, and my party of two was full. I also super enjoy the $1 shots of soju. It's 6 shots max per person, but that puts you at a nice buzz for your meal. You can also opt for their Buy 2 Bottles Get The 3rd Bottle Free deal, which would be nice if you have a bigger party.  The service here was super nice, and there wasn't a long wait at all. I would highly recommend this spot if you want to have a good time and eat good food. It will be messy, but it'll be worth it! read more

Pirates Kitchen is my favorite seafood broil place because they offer other items such as wings, seafood pasta, tacos and more! Pirates Kitchen is located in the City Plaza (in the same plaza and next to Bakers & Baristas and La Tavolata). The ambiance here is very fun and playful with a mural of pirates, ropes, lifeguard rescue tubes, and barrels! Staff here is very friendly, sweet, and attentive! They are quick to take your order and checks in with you to make sure if you need new gloves, ketchup, limes, etc. You can veto choose your 1) Seafood, 2) Flavor, 3) Spice level, and 4) Add-ons. I usually order their shrimp with their Full House flavor - mild spice level, which consists of all three of your flavors: Garlic Butter, Lemon Pepper, and PK Sauce. For add-ons, I like getting their corn and garlic bread to absorb all that delicious flavor. Of course, you can't forget the Cajun Fries! I've also tried their steak tacos, soy garlic wings, and seafood cream pasta. The pasta is nice and creamy! I'd pass the tacos and wings. They also have seafood gumbo, clam chowder, and half or full half-shell oysters. I really appreciate their wide variety, which has me coming back regularly! read more

In the Long Beach/Cerritos area, we are lucky to have several options for quality seafood boils. I chose to come to Pirates Kitchen this time because I was able to order snow crab, shrimp, and popcorn shrimp. I came in on a Friday and service was great. I did order a little too much food; however, I really enjoyed everything. If you're looking to order a seafood boil combo, it is a little on the pricey side here; however, I was pleased with the portion sizes. Unlike some of the other seafood spots, I would have loved if they had stations to wash hands as seafood boils get very messy! I have them throw my seafood boil into a mix of all three of their sauces and I order level 3 "Hot" level spicy. The shrimp is good, but it did get overcooked in the very temperature hot sauces in the bag. Their snow crab legs were so huge that I thought that they accidentally gave me king crab. The popcorn shrimp was delicious, it's a generous portion, and they serve it with cajun fries. The only thing that could have made that better for me would have been a nice cocktail sauce with strong horseradish. I definitely would come again. If you are free, they have a great lunch special during the week before 3pm where you can get 2lbs shrimp for $20. The thing is that I can't pass up their crab, which was incredibly meaty and delicious. read more

Pirates Kitchen - Sooo good This our go to shrimp spot can't beat the price, taste or the service!! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

This is my go to seafood spot. The price is the star of the show. I usually get the two pound special. The sauce is a 7/10 and some nights it's not as good as the last depending on who's in the kitchen. But for the price the gamble is worth it when you're craving a seafood boil. The add ons can get pricey. (I think they do that to make up for the deals) but do taste good. I've had some of their noodles and tacos as well, and they're also pretty good. read more

Really like this place I come a lot and bring my fam and friends for the 2 pounds for $20 deal. The fries are really yummy and the food is great, but went yesterday and omg the bathroom is disgusting!!! It made me scared to eat there because if you can't keep your bathroom clean makes me think how's the kitchen? Please clean the bathroom I couldn't even sit down to pee cause I was so disgusted. Other than that thanks for the awesome deals! And this place isn't bad for the prices. read more

They say it's your birthday!! Yes it was and one of my greatest friends offered to take me to lunch. Sure! I'd rather a meal with a friend than a gift anytime. We had decided on a different restaurant but their line was long so we found Pirates Kitchen by happenstance and here's how it went! First off, lemme say, I'm such a sucker for a pirates theme restaurant. Why? I dunno. It makes me think of the times when Disneyland was cheap in the 80s and my dad would take me and my siblings. My favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean. Yes yall, Disneyland was affordable at one time!! Second, spoiled with the other restaurant that sounds like foiling frabs. No shade but I know I'm gonna always compare. And since I'm a questcaterian (made up word cuz I'm not sure if I'm still a vegetarian anymore) I got snow crabs with rice, potato, one egg and mild house seasoning. I was impressed!!! The seasoning was magnificent! My food was piping hot; literally had to wait for it to cool off a bit which was hard because we were starving!!! I was full as a tick and quite content. One thing I noticed is as I ate I looked around and literally made eye contact with other customers, I promise you some of them nodded at me like, yah girl it's good huh?! It was. I did try my friend's calamari - a little too spicy for me but for those of you looking for calamari with a kick, they got it. We did have to wait a while for our food which was a bit frustrating. At that other spot food comes out pretty quick. Our service was good. I checked in with my daughter and she confirmed that they're pretty good too so guess who will be back with family in tow? This lady here! read more

Came here for my birthday dinner tonight and it was hands down amazing. Food was great and the atmosphere gave me that kick to eat like a pirate. We ordered 2 lbs of shrimp, snow crab, king crab and lobster tail. We added some corn and sausage with some sides of rice. The heat levels range from 1-5 and we ordered level 3 "hot" for all our food with a side cup of level 4 "extra hot". We got the full house seasoning which I would highly recommend. The service was spectacular! We joined the wait list on our way to the restaurant and the table was ready once we arrived. Highly recommend joining the wait list 20-30 mins prior to arriving. Drinks and food were served quick and in a timely manner. read more

Pirates Kitchen - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

Loved my experience here at Pirates Kitchen! I dined here with my family over the weekend and was so impressed with the yummy food and the amazing service. We ordered the butterfly shrimp and Cajun fries with a chipotle aioli to start us off, and this was incredible! Everything was so well seasoned and the chipotle aioli was so flavorful and perfectly balanced with the food. We then ordered 2 lbs of shrimp and one lb of mussels with the full house sauce, spice level 2. I would say I have a pretty high spice tolerance and I didn't find spice level 2 (medium) to be spicy at all but that's just me. Next time I'd be curious to try spice level 3 or 4. Highly recommend this place and can't wait to try it again soon! read more

First time here and can definitely say I'll be back. Food was served fresh and hot! Environment was great and not too rowdy. Service was attentive and friendly. I ordered the snow crab legs (all in mild sauce) and shrimp (head on/head off with all in medium sauce). Medium sauce wasn't too spicy so I'll probably try the "hot" next time. Overall a great place to vibe and eat, definitely recommend coming here! Also, fries were AMAZING, came with this Chipotle sauce that had a little kick to it. read more

The food is fantastic. The service is great. The problem is the cleanliness of the business is horrible. Bathrooms were disgusting. While waiting for the bathroom, the kitchen door was open so I took the opportunity to video the kitchen. See for yourself. So you can enjoy a meal but the uncertainty of whether or not you're gonna shit and barf your guts out a couple hours later make this place a roll of the dice. I suggest a cleaning team pull everything away from the walls and get busy cleaning everything. To the manager, If you deep clean your kitchen, bathrooms and the hallway leading to the kitchen and bathrooms, I will change this to a five star and rewrite this review as I really wanted to write it to reflect the good food and service. read more

This restaurant is decorated and designed similar to a pirate ship and very cute decorations all around. But obviously the best part is that the food was delicious.

The food was so good, and the flavor was amazing. 10/10 I found out about this place from their promotion on TikTok of happy hour for 2lb of shrimp head on for only $25. Everything was really good as well as how crispy the fries were. The flavor of the wings was amazing. The service was a little slow due to not having many servers but it was overall a good experience read more

We had a delicious dinner of shrimp, crawfish, clams, and crab. We thought the shrimp and crawfish were good with the spicy sauce but would get the crab with just garlic butter next time.

If you want a good deal for seafood boil this spot is it! Went in today and they were hosting a pretty big party that took up almost half the restaurant so we did have to wait a little bit, but honestly wasn't a big deal.

Really good price and experience. Will definitely come back again. read more

I was just there. Sat there for 45 minutes. Nothing. No one came by to tell me our food was almost ready or to check in. 3 families that walked in 10-15 minutes after us all got served.

Good food and drinks. Service was a little slow and unorganized. Great selection of drinks. They have a few tvs when sports are on.

This is my favorite spot for seafood boil. It just never misses. The servers are always welcoming when we come in and patient when we are ordering. Although this type of meal can leave the tables in a messy state, the servers still treat their customers so nicely and check up on us every now and then to make sure we are enjoying our food. This is a great place to enjoy some seafood and catch up with friends. They also provide gloves & bibs! read more

Stopped by Pirates Kitchen in Artesia and it ended up being a solid spot for a seafood boil. We got the PK Platter with double shrimp and clams, plus Cajun fries. The sausage had good flavor and a little kick that actually stood out. We also tried the chicken strips and the popcorn shrimp, and the popcorn shrimp was surprisingly good -- crispy and flavorful. Everything came out cooked well, portions were generous, and the boil was loaded without feeling over the top. Great spot for groups too -- there's plenty to share, and the portions make it easy to feed a few people without overthinking it. Good flavor across the board, hearty meal, and the specials make it a worthwhile stop if you're in the area. read more
