i was charged $144 twice and when i noticed i called and was given the managers number to get my refund, let's just say they were useless. i informed him and he said it would go back into my account on monday since this happened over the weekend, it didn't happen so i texted again and they said to wait some more so i did. i had to call my bank and ask them what to do since the manger was useless. it's now been almost 2 weeks and i finally got my money back thanks to my bank not this establishment. i won't be coming back because they basically stole money, so be careful and maybe just pay cash. read more

there's rats at this place. and worst customer service ever. I paid with my card and the guy didn't give it back to me. I didn't notice until I went to buy drinks after since I got takeout. then I call them to notify and ask if they can hold my card there for me to pick it up and the girl just said they were going to "look" for it and she would call me back if they found it, which I never received a call. I closed out my card yet I still receive alerts everytime it's used and there's been several attempts on that card. this place is ridiculous. never going back. read more

Service was not the greatest wait was over an hour , food was very distasteful and salty very disappointed and overpriced .

*** Beware, Specifically with the Stinkin Crawfish refund policies. -*** This past weekend, I was incorrectly charged $50.50 for two pieces of corn. I was told that they would refund the money but they never did. At this point, the bank has been notified and the owner, Who was supposed to refund the money, can now deal with the upcoming bank investigation of the charges. Signed, A Former Customer read more

I ordered 2lbs shrimp through postmate and only 1/2 lb (8pcs) arrived. Postmate only refunded me $5 when I had to pay extra $25.99 to get 2lbs shrimp. I called this branch and they said nothing they can do because the driver could have taken out food from the bag. Well first of all they didn't close or seal anything. Secondly, the driver obviously didn't scoop out shrimps from the bag. I also ordered 2 corn and i only got 1. I never had any issues ordering online before that wasn't resolved but this one. Worst experience ever and its my birthday read more

What establishment do you know that closes on Sun from 5:10 pm to 6:10 pm. I used to like this place but not allowing a customer to place an order during dinner service is beyond me. The food is also mediocre, and not worthy of waiting an hour. I only stopped by because I didn't feel like driving out of the way and wanted shrimp. I will NEVER come here again. read more

BEWARE of this place! If you pay with your debit card they will keep your debit card. Ate there today and food was great. But all that went to the trash when the waiter (Kevin) never gave my husbands debit card back. We didn't realize it until we went to a different location and needed to pay. I quickly got the phone and attempted 6 times to call the restaurant and no answer. When the call finally got answer I was on hold for over 5 mins! By that time we were already there. When the lady saw my husband she knew exactly why he was there. The lady gave him back the debit card and tried to say he left it there! When he never received it back after he paid. It's crazy because I just seen a similar review based on a "guy" not returning her debit card. It's definitely a shame. We will never go back! read more

Great food and great service! First time going to place and did not disappoint and I love seafood. I would definitely be back to this place. read more

Given the establishment is rather small, the service was fast and prompt. However, the food is bland. This is the 2nd location i've visited and both have been bad experiences with flavor. They're just not the Kickin Krab!!!Also, the amount of garlic this place added to the seafood was ridiculous. read more

This is a nice place to come for the typical seafood-in-a-bag type of experience. You can't beat it being directly across the street from Porto's Bakery. Our waiter waa super cordial and funny. Roughly a lb. of king crab legs, potatoes, and 2 corns ran $35+. The sauce is on the thin side but the flavor is good. They have a happy hour and serve beer, wine, and a few other drinks which worked out for the men. Plenty of TVs play sports as well. The fried oreo and ice cream taster topped off everything else. read more

Rating : 0 , I would review the LETTER GRADE of this place. Upon my experience I'm beyond disgusted. I found a hair on my corn. Not to mention it began with my order being wrong. I got refunded " $21 after paying $71. I paid for 4 corns and get 2, I can overlook at 2 corns but hygiene I cannot. I personally returned to the restaurant after that distasteful moment and the person who helped me said " I'm sorry the new cooks here are trainees . they aren't wearing hair nets I'll tell them to". I will refund you 10% all I can do and give you a 10% off your next visit. What a joke right. 1. That's a FDA requirement if unfamiliar 2. How is a refund all you can do ? Refund me for what I paid for and wasn't given ? How I still returned 1/2 lb of shrimp etc. read more

Stinkin Crawfish - Grub and Beer - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Downey, California

Service was top notch. Food was eh. I came on a weekday for lunch right when they opened and there was no wait. I went with one other person and we shared 6 of their $1 oyster special. We got 6 because there is a minimum of 6 for the $1 price. I think this is everyday. We also shared their Cajun Fries ($5) Both oysters and fries were pretty good. Oysters tasted fresh but nothing crazy bout it. They were small to medium size oysters. For dinner, I went with the Stinkin Special for both my half pound of crawfish ($8) and half pound of shrimp ($9). I also asked to add the Awesome ($4), which is one corn, 4 sausages and 2 potatoes. They use to not charge for the Awesome. The crawfish wasn't live and was from frozen. It was apparent and not very good. The shrimp was good though. The flavor of the Stinkin Special did kinda lack in flavor. They use WAY less garlic than other popular crawfish houses. That can be a good or bad thing depending if you like garlic or not. The corn was alright. It was sweet. The sausages are thin here unlike other places. The two potatoes were good. Not sure if it was worth it to add on the Awesome. I thought pricing was comparable to other places but food was not. The service was excellent. The waitress was extremely nice, the food came out fast, and anything we requested we got right away. The restaurant is big and casual. It was busy when we left but still no wait. Parking is in the back lot. read more

Jessica P. was so freaking nice and super helpful!!!! My family loves to order from this location, and we basically get the same thing each time we choose to order from here.

This was my first time eating here and the service is great. The servers were very helpful in helping me decide what to eat. The environment was also nice it can get busy very fast. Elaine and Kevin were great and very attentive. I would definitely come back here and eat again. read more

Came to this place because I was craving seafood and I was not disappointed! Service is great food is delicious! You pay about the same as any other seafood spot so expect to pay $50+ for shrimp/crab related meals. I always spend about $100 here but I am a sucker for crab! Only downside is they never really have king crab I'm still waiting to try it! Besides that this place is awesome! Highly recommend! read more

Stinkin Crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Downey, California

Been coming t this place for the past two years. Love their shrimp lover combo. We almost always order to go and the only time we dined in was a bit disappointed. We came on a weekday afternoon, only two waiters and our waitress was only around to take our order and disappeared the rest the of time. She even "forgot" to let us know they sold out of crawfish when she took our order. Never checked on our food nor drinks. On top of that, the flavors were lacking that afternoon. We have to waved down another waiter to get our bill. But! If you come here for dinner it's another experience. Everything was fresh and delicious! Staff are friendly. It would have been nicer if they have a seating area for Togo orders. If you come by on a weekday evening when they're not too busy you can just grab an empty table to sit down while you wait. But if you come by on a weekend evening when they're full house. You are left with no choice but to stand by their cash register right next to their huge trash bins. read more

I usually love it here the food the seasoning and the staff are nice but today I order and tiger shrimp and that was inside the bag and not sure of some of the shrimp was green cause of that paper or what. I was a little disappointed. read more

Stinkin Crawfish - That green paper and some green shrimp - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Downey, California

I visit this place recently, it was good but not great. I've had better tasting seafood boils. The prices are average. We ordered the Stinkin Combo which came with white shrimp, clams, mussels, and crawfish, 4 potatoes, 8pieces of sausage and 2 corn. I liked that it came with these extra items because other restaurants charge extra, but then again, this bag was $40 so yea, I would have to make the math to see what is more convenient. This was good enough to feed 2 hungry adults. We also ordered an order of garlic bread (7/10), and a drink and the bill total was $57. Which is like I said, standard price. There are two combos that are $39.99 one comes with crawfish (like we ordered) and the other with no crawfish but more of the shrimp, clams, and mussels. In my opinion, I would say to go with the one without the crawfish. They are heavy and barely have any meat, not worth it. The service was good, all the servers were attentive and nice. I would come back and recommend others to try it. read more

I love this place the food is great, comfortable environment and plenty of beer choices, definitely coming here again. Service was also good

This place is a joke!! Showed up for lunch at 12pm and the doors were locked. There was an employee at the back of the restaurant just staring at us. We waited to see if she would open the doors and never once came over, when i tried to wave her down she would look up then walk to the back. There was a gentlemen cleaning tables outside so we kindly asked him if they are going to open or what the deal is and he said "hold on let me ask!" He comes back and says "their credit card machine doesnt work so they are not opening their doors!" (Ummm ok) So i said "im paying cash!" And he goes back in and comes out and has a different story the girl told him that now their "registers are not working!" Like why couldnt the employee come and tell me herself? We really like this location, this just left a bad taste in our mouths. Doesnt even deserve the star based on that 1 employee hiding in there! read more

This place is so nasty , it's hella bland not glacier the sauce was very liquid, there was barely anything to the food the only thing that was guud was the drink and even the shrimp poppers were nasty too much was goin on and I jus wouldn't recommend this place to anyone . Go to boiling crab so much better den dis , other then that please don't go here if uu want flavor and ur food to be hella good bc I walking out this place stomach still hungry read more

Party of 5. Our server, Tim, was awesome. (He really was. I'll get back to this in a bit...) But I gotta write about the snags we hit first: - We ordered 2 orders of calamari. Only one order arrived, and it was way after we got the rest of our food. We all figured it got forgotten. - We ordered the shrimp lover plus a pound of crawfish. We made a special request of making it mild MILD MILD, milder than mild, if possible. But nah. It was just as spicy as the last time, if not spicier. Doable, but still a little too much to handle. (Most of us couldn't do more than mild, hence, the special request.) OTHERWISE! The shrimp, the clams, the mussels and the crawfish was amazing. The calamari, albeit arriving at our table late, was also seasoned, made-to-order delicious. Ditto the fries. And we were told by Tim off the bat that Happy Hour was ALL DAY, and since it was $1 oysters, we ended up ordering 3 dozen. And they were fresh, fresh, FRESH. And the reason why I say Tim was a great server is for a couple of reasons: - He knew how to interact with the little girl we were with. "Deep fried Oreos are free, so if you want 3, or 20, you shall have it!" - He was apologetic about the delay on the calamari, so to make up for it, he comped us 3 bottles of beer - the same three bottles the three beer drinkers ordered earlier. - He was swamped as it seemed he was the only server for the night. With that in mind, he found a way to make sure we had everything we needed anyway. So, it wasn't for him, it might have been a less than stellar experience. Will definitely return should the mood strike us again. Here's hoping a lot less (or absolutely no) snags then. Also making a mental note of asking for NO spice on the bags of seafood next time. read more

This place makes me want to cozy up inside a plastic bag with potato's sausages and all the spices and get boiled into high heaven it's so damn good. What I loved: the girl who took my order on the phone kept calling me honey and I can't tell if she meant it or if she was doing it to keep from having a nervous breakdown but you know what true love keeps you on your toes. Missing a star because they were lots of massless inside dinners and that's just tacky in the age of coco. read more

Monday 8/28 Went in at 8:27 pm late I know they closed at 9 on Google maps, gentleman with long hair the server, miserable man I'd say, gave me attitude and started yelling at me telling me I wasn't nice and what not, wasn't served, left frustrated and if I didn't have my mom and sister there I would've knocked him out, but like all miserable people you leave them be, you let them sulk in their all stew and I'm not a man of revenge, but I am a man that should find things corrected, the food is always great here but that server, should be fired. read more

One of the better locations from this franchise. I've also been to their paramount, Lakewood, and Gardena location. This location sits in a busy plaza with other popular chains and businesses that you can venture through. When I come here, I always ordered a pound of shrimp, and a pound of crawfish in their special sauce flavor, which is a combo of all their sauces in a medium spice level. It's fairly good. Nothing stands out differently compared to other businesses that are competitors in the Cajun/creole seafood game. They do offer $1 oysters which is always a bonus. I don't think their oysters are the freshest but it does suffice and I haven't gotten sick yet so we are good. lol I wish they had cholula hot sauce for this though. They also give you free dessert which is a deep fried Oreo and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's always a nice little bonus. It's an offer as a check in of yelp, but they offer it regardless and ask if you're ready for dessert. read more

Went to this new spot today with Michael DeMitchell. The Stinkin Crawfish. Multiple locations through SoCal. This was probably the best restaurant seafood I've had. It came in a bag full of butter and garlic. I fully recommend getting a side of the Spicy Special Sauce to dip your stuff in. This bag was plenty for two BIG eaters. And so so good to the last potato. Yummy and a good value. read more

Stinkin Crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Downey, California

Ordered oysters, gumbo, and shrimp. By far the best thing was the shrimp where you can customize the sauce. The gumbo was mediocre, especially since I had the real thing cooked by a real Cajun before. The oysters were a disappointment. Yes, they are value priced. But they weren't fully shucked, so they were still attached to the shell via the abductor muscle. Quality was so-so and it came with limes instead of lemons. If you decide to dine here, I recommend sticking to the bag of shrimp. Hard to mess that up. Very friendly staff. read more

There was only one server who was complaining about her coworker calling off and she was the only one on the floor. I was standing behind the man she was venting to & she completely ignored me and my party to let the party AFTER us know she was no longer seating people for dinner. It's Friday night and barely 8PM the restaurant closes at 10PM. I tried calling to confirm a wait time prior to arriving and the phones were disconnected. The server didn't even acknowledge us at all and just watched us walk out. Over all horrible experience!!! read more
