    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Pirates Kitchen Artesia 11688 South St #107, Artesia, CA 90701 - 5/5 2/5 ($) free plaza parking - 2LBS OF HEAD ON SHRIMP FOR $20 ‼ Calling all seafood boil lovers, the deal of the century is available @pirates Everything was SOOOO delicious! Just watching back the video makes me hungry The "all in sauce" was SOOOO good. It was the perfect combo of salty but also had a hint of sweetness. If I'm being honest, the only thing I felt like I was missing was my Filipino spicy vinegar with onion and garlic The sides that they provide are also delicious and very filling, so you will definitely be full after this trip. The lemon pepper and soy garlic wings were chefs kiss, and they tasted EVEN better dipped in the ranch. We also ordered Cajun fries and onion rings which were both delicious, but the shrimp is DEFINITELY the best seller. If you're in the Artesia area, DEF don't miss out on Pirates Kitchen Order info ‧ ** 2lbs of shrimp (all in sauce) w/ corn and sausage ** Lemon pepper wings ** Soy garlic wings ** Cajun fries ** Onion rings ** Steamed rice more info - 11:30AM-10:30PM DAILY

    Holland was such a joy. Went above and beyond letting us sample the sauces before deciding. Thank you for letting me and my sister spend Xmas Eve with you. Will be back soon!

    I love this place! The deal of the 2 pounds of shrimp for $20 is so good. I come here often with my sister for some good eats. Tanya's the best and they have all the jams playing.

She patiently took all our orders with a cheerful attitude and made sure everything was correct. The food was good, came out in a timely manner, and Cindy checked on us regularly to see if we needed anything else. Toward the end of the meal, she kindly split the check per couple, which we really appreciated. The best part? We were surprised with fried Oreos and ice cream on the house--such an unexpected and delicious treat! Then, to top it off, the manager came by and offered us a second round of fried Oreos and ice cream, also on the house. How cool is that? Nice place, good food, and excellent service. Highly recommend!

The sauce in the bag felt a bit... watered down like it went for a swim before meeting the seafood. For a party of four, we ordered: SHRIMP LOVER COMBO, LOBSTER ROLL, SIDE OF RICE, BASKET OF SEASONED FRIES, AND MAD DOG XXX SAUCE on the side. Portion-wise, we left comfortably full and only slightly questioning our life choices. The Shrimp Lover Combo can't be modified. We chose Stinkin' Special and Spicy, which came with a plastic glove so you can dig in like a civilized gremlin. The Stinkin' Special was a generous blasts of Old Bay and enough garlic to ward off vampires. The Mad Dog sauce wasn't shock-your-soul spicy, but it definitely lingered. I was still feeling its friendly burn hours later and well into the evening. The LOBSTER ROLLL was tasty but fleeting. 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. We wrapped it all up with deep-fried Oreos and ice cream, which was an instant win. Sweet, cooling relief after all that heat. Tip: Sign up to their text newsletter at the restaurant and enjoy a free basket of fries. BTW, their website is down. :(
