Corn Potato seafood boil with fries
Lesley N.

The hostess and waiters are always very kind and attentive. The food is super flavorful and the place is always clean and not too busy on weekdays.

Service is 6/10. They seem to be short staffed all the time. The food is 7.5/10z. I would go back again but perhaps on a weekday when it's not busy. DIRRTYY RESTROOMS

Shrimp & Cajun fries
Karime C.

I love this place honestly better than Boiling Crab! It's my go to spot. The jumbo shrimp are amazing (definitely get 1 lb+), and the portions of fries and rice are huge. Service is always attentive and friendly, and the vibe is casual and welcoming.

Receipt of food. Counting a generous 15%

First and LAST time. Andrea the manager is unprofessional and a liar. I was lied about my order. When it was time to pay my bill didn't match what SHE confirmed with me at the table. Only one thing can happen when I'm lied to you get 0 starts. Being charged 15% mandatory was the cherry on top. Andrea please do better.

10/10 delicious

We had the Special Combo Cajun Special w/the full house sauce (medium) it was amazing! We also had fried calamari & garlic fries it was great! Everything was 10/10! The micheladas the service was amazing! Kirk our waiter was very polite and very professional! Thank you Kirk! This is definitely a great spot to have a beer and some delicious boil!

Came today for lunch. There were 3 other tables, including a larger party. I ordered mussels, snow crab and a drink, with the waitress. I liked how everything was fresh. The green mussels were larger and I preferred them over the black mussels. I thought the sauce was okkkk. I ordered the one where all the flavors are blended. I personally thought there was way too much paprika. I enjoyed it more after squeezing lemon into it. I was having a nice lunch until I needed a refill. The waitress did not check on any of our tables, at all. She stayed in the kitchen area, and when she did come out, she went straight to sitting in a corner, behind a wall where she couldn't see over. I, and another table, tried getting her attention but she was not interested in checking on us. People from another table got up to get her attention. She came out, and she looked reluctant, haha. 4 people needed drinks refilled and one people needed something else. She helped us and went back to her corner. I needed the bill but again, she didn't come around. She couldn't see over the wall she was behind. I was irritated that I needed to get up and get her attention. I did not leave any tip. I initially wanted to because I thought she was nice. I went to pay with someone else. No "how was your food" or even hello. So, I can see where people say customer service isn't so great here.

#1 Shrimp Star Combo

I had just gotten off the plane when my group of three decided we wanted to get some seafood boil. We stopped at Boiling Crab but they weren't taking any more walk ins and Star Crab was just around the corner. We were seated immediately despite how busy the place was and our host was very attentive. It was my first time here so I wasn't really sure how big the portions were and almost got two lemon pepper fries but she informed me that it was large. I appreciated it haha. We ended up getting the shrimp star combo and were filled. It was seasoned very well and honestly might be my to go spot when I'm here in the SoCal area. Great price and great portions!!

Came here to have some lunch. There was only one other family seated when we arrived. The girl was by herself but not very kind. We were seated about 10 min later. We were seated for a while. She kept walking by and didn't even say that she would be right with us. Didn't offer to take our drink order. She was helping others including another party that was seated. I then raied my hand to get her attention and let her know that we were ready to order. Her response was rude and unprofessional. She said that she was one person and that we needed to.be patient with her. Keep in mind, I was only letting her know we were ready to order. My response to her was that we were being patient and she continued to go on a rant about how she was on her own and then said that she was planning on helping us next. We got up and left because she would stop. She kept going and said sarcastically "are you going to order?" I asked for a manager and she said he wasn't there. Not very nice. Normally our servers are very nice. Bad day today. We ended up going to another place about 10 min away.

Second time coming here and as a local from Whittier I'll be honest, I was skeptical at first. The…read moreDowney location didn't live up to the hype for me, felt like it was more about the banda vibe than the food. But this spot changed that. The tostada mixta had really solid savory flavor and the tacos sinaloense were on point. Definitely worth it if you're looking for both good food and a good vibe. Ambience was nice, good energy overall. Just heads up, parking can be rough. You can try Main Street or the lot if you get lucky. There is usually a waitlist too. Overall, I'll be coming back and can see this becoming a regular spot.

We really enjoyed the octopus tacos and the shrimp ceviche tostada - they give you extra tostadas and everything pairs perfectly with their draft beers! Veronica and the manager were very welcoming and accommodating considering it was our first time there! LOCATION: - Has a few tables inside and an outdoor patio with plenty of seating - really enjoyed the outdoor seating when it's good weather out! PARKING: - They have a small lot in the back with about 6 spots but plenty of street parking WAIT: -About a 20 min wait for a table for 3 on a Friday around 5 pm NOTES/DEALS: - They have social hour from 3-6 pm with discounts on drinks and draft beer! - Their paper menu is in Spanish but if you scan the QR code on the table or go on their website, they have it in Spanish + English!

Came in last Friday before 6pm and I was so happy to be seated right away!…read more The service was terrible at the beginning, it took about 20 minutes before our drink order was take. By this time, we already new what we wanted to order so we placed the order together with the drinks. The server do apologize for the long wait, which I'm glad he acknowledged! After this everything went from 0 to 60 in no time! The beers came out iced cold, shortly after the fresh oysters, followed by the piping hot seasoned fries and calamari and finally the shrimp and clams... the best part of this entire experience was the piping HOT food, and everything was so GOOD! My husband and friend enjoyed the free fried Oreo with ice cream, nice touch, Stinking CF, nice touch ! I loved the HH items on the menu and the lunch specials, good to know. Although, the parking lot is small, we were able to find street parking. We will definitely return!

Good as always! Came…read moreto get Togo today and the staff was careful, when I ordered via phone she repeated my order to ensure order accuracy, and food is 5/5 as usual! Just the crawfish was 3/5, all other items 5/5! I always get garlic butter and "hot" sauce on the side. Everyone gets to enjoy the food and spicy eaters get to dip the seafood in the hot sauce! Hits the spot. Snow crab was yum!!
