I had been trying to get on Shad's List for the LONGEST. I've missed the gumbo, chicken sandwich, and EVERYTHING else, BUT I was able to get my hands on the BEST fried lobster that I've ever had. It was a fried lobster tail, shrimp, and yellow rice. ALL BOMB !!!! If you can get on one of his lists then I highly recommend trying it out.

Amazing chicken!!

I waited for weeks to order from Shad and once I finally got the chance...it was amazing! I placed an ordered for his Kickn Cajun Chicken (4 pcs) and it came with smoked greens and a roll for $15. Ohhh but the chicken! It was crispy on the outside, juicy inside and seasoned perfectly. I only ate the breast the first night because it was so filling. I was worried that my leftovers would become soggy but alas, my reheated chicken was STILL CRISPY the next day. Mind blown! Shad offers a changing menu each week and you can check it out on his social media page. Can't wait to try more of his food!

Tried Shad's after seeing an article about him in the LA Times. Believe the hype, this is the crunchiest fried chicken you're going to get in LA. I had the Spicy Kickn Cajun fried chicken and true to its name it had the right amount of heat to feel some burn but no too much so you could still taste the chicken. Anyone trying to get Shad's needs to understand that this is not a standalone restaurant. He is part of a new breed of entrepreneurial chefs who post their menus and take orders thru Instagram. You can see the details in the pictures I've posted but basically, he posts and takes orders via text message on Mon, Wed and Sat. You pickup your food at a designated time the next day. So for example, if you want to try his fried chicken, you have to wait until he posts his menu on Saturday, text your order in and then he will text you back confirming your order and pickup time the next day (Sunday).

Drove all the way from Fontana (1:30min) for 6 orders And let me tell you it was well worth the drive! It was 4 of the most juiciest CRUNCHIEST pieces of chicken I have ever eaten seasoned to perfection!!! The greens were so delicious I wanted to jump in that container and swim in that juice! And I for sure dipped my chicken in it!!!! And THAT HOMEMADE HONEY BUTTER BISCUIT!!!!!!!!!!!! Imma need two of those next time! Needless to say we will be making this trip again real real soon!!!

Cold gummy sandwich n fries

It was our first time visiting The Enclave, and with so many dining options, Long Beach Fish Grill…read morestood out for us. We arrived around 8 p.m. and were the only customers at the time, which worked out perfectly since we were able to enjoy the patio with our dog. The concept is similar to California Fish Grill but better. I ordered the House Combo fish and chips with shrimp and scallops, which came with cocktail sauce, ketchup, and tartar sauce. We also started with a bowl of clam chowder to share. My husband was extra hungry and ordered both the salmon salad and a rockfish plate. Each dish came with soft yet nicely toasted garlic bread. Between the two, I preferred the rockfish over the salmon. We also upgraded our side to grilled zucchini and it was delicious! Overall, it was a really enjoyable dinner, and I'd definitely come back to try their sandwiches and tacos next time.

Bleghh haven't had food this bad in awhile. Tried the fried fish taco, grilled fish taco, mahi…read moretaco, salmon taco and fried zucchini. Fried fish taco, barely any fish inside, mostly batter, no flavor The rest of the grilled fish tacos had no flavor. Salsa was so basic and tortillas were all Cold and stale. Zucchini sticks were sooooo Greasy and there's almost no zhuccini inside. They were just fried hollow greasy batter and it gives unpleasant lingering old oil in your mouth ugh They charge 15% fee just to eat inside. But you stand up and place order and fet drinks yourself...like whaat Definitely avoid this place

If you know, you know -- The Crab Shack is tucked away in that back parking structure where Marie…read moreCallender's used to be, surrounded by a few other restaurants. It's one of those "low-key hidden but worth finding" spots. Don't let the location fool you! I went on a Tuesday during the week when it wasn't busy at all -- nice and chill vibes. But babyyy once 6 PM hit? Dinner time activated. The crowd definitely started rolling in and you could feel the energy shift. So just know traffic picks up later in the evening if you're planning a visit. Now let's get into what matters: The staff? Super attentive and kind. I love when servers check on you just enough without hovering. And the food came out HOT. Not warm. Not "it's been sitting." I'm talking steaming, fresh, straight-to-the-table heat -- which is exactly how a crab boil should hit. Portions were generous because I was overly stuffed and still had plenty left over for the next day (which honestly might be the best part). Nothing like reheating a seafood boil and running it back. Thank you for hosting me and my guest -- we had such a good experience. I'll definitely be back for my next crab boil fix lol

I love me a good seafood boil and unfortunately this place was not that…read more The wait is long, prices are high, quality is below average, and flavor is lacking.... We waited for 30 minutes to be seated even though plenty of tables were open, waited another 30 minutes to place an order, waited another 40 minutes until the food came out. At least the decor was "cute" pretty standard for a seafood boil and had TVs. We got 3 pounds of shrimp with the flavor mix and the spiciest level of heat in addition to some Cajun fries. The seafood was so bland and the fries were so dry with little to no seasoning.
