I like this spot, it beats those chain seafood boils in terms of flavor of the sauce, and it has a…read moredecent variety of seafood offerings. I usually stick with the shrimps and crab. Other items are mostly fired stuff like fries and zucchini and such. This place does give off a ghetto vibe, so if you're not comfortable with that then this place is not for you lol. Graffiti on the walls (by design I think) with a very mixed crowd. No nonsense waitstaff, not rude but "let me get this in" type of a vibe. I like that here because it kind of matches the vibe of the restaurant. No fake rapport building, not rude not super nice but they are working hard. Music is loud and it's more of a younger crowd. Parking can be tough, there are only like 4-5 parking spots for the restaurant and you have to try to find street parking for the most part. The location can be sketch in terms of don't be surprised if your car gets "Bipped" I always take the older car out there if we decide to go.

the food was really good even to go. that really all i have to say that was good…read more i went there to order to go. there were around 3-4 tables with people that were eating there and we were the only ones ordering togo. our order wasn't big, it was a normal seafood boil with garlic noodles. thats it. we waited around 10-15 minutes at first before wondering where our food was. i noticed that the couple that was eating there had ordered another bag for to go after we had ordered and they got their food before us. we gave them the benefit of the doubt and continued waiting. in total we waited 30-40 minutes for a TO GO order of two items. we asked them where our food was and the waitress checked it. it was never sent to the kitchen because they had computer issues but what i was confused about is why were we the only ones with an order problem and not any of the people that came after us ordering to go as well. i am also confused why the waiters were walking around serving everyone else and not noticing that we've been sitting there for so long. and the restaurant was not packed AT ALL. no one thought "why are they sitting there for so long after ordering 30 minuted ago?" after checking in with her, the waitress was very apologetic and offered for a free appetizer. we ordered cajun fries. we got home and the cajun fries were normal fries with no seasoning at all. are we serious?

I've been here twice in the last month (March 2026) and everything has been excellent: the food,…read morethe service, the vibe inside, from the artwork to the music to the comfy couches along the side where you can just chill over dinner with a friend or a lover;-). The bar is substantial if you are alone and just hanging out. We had a party of 7 people last week - celebrating the sale of my sister's Oakland condo - and had to reconfigure our seating for the friend who came last minute, which was done cheerfully. The set up of Calabash allows for large groups easily. We came early (5:30pm) so we had the place to ourselves for the first half hour. Their specialty cocktails are very nice. Unfortunately the wine selection is limited (I think they'd run out of some and hadn't restocked) but we were happy with the cocktails, which include non-alcoholic options. For Vegans, there are a few great items: there's a roasted brussel sprouts & cauliflower combo that is delicious (might be a little spicy for some, but not for me!); plantain; rice & peas. And for non-meat eaters, the salmon dish and the shrimp dish (an appetizer) are both excellent. I can already tell that Calabash will be my go-to spot in Oakland. I live in San Francisco, which has no authentic Caribbean dining spot, unless you count Meski (Warriors' Draymon Green's new spot), which technically is "Ethiopian-Dominican fusion". Also the price point of Calabash is much more budget-friendly than Meski. One final note is that it is black-owned, so if you care about supporting our community of Black-owned businesses, this is a no-brainer. I'm just sayin'...

Have come here before and ordered different dishes/appetizers before but tonight, I was craving the…read moreoxtail. There was a party going on and it was busier than usual for a weekday. Part of my group was already there when I arrived and it wasn't an issue to find street parking. I ordered the Kingston Sunset for my "cocktail". Comes with Prosecco, Sorrel, and Bitters. Had to keep it fairly light for a work night. It tasted delicious and perfect for what I needed for the evening. Their drinks are really good and they don't skimp on the liquor when I usually order cocktails with liquor it in it, so if that's what you're going for, you won't be disappointed. I ordered the oxtail entree with rice and plantains. My oxtail was cooked perfectly like it usually is. Can never go wrong with ordering this dish. It's my go to when I come here, though I've had other dishes here, it's my favorite. They didn't have the scotch bonnet pepper hot sauce which goes really well with it. If you know, you know! I opted to try the crystal hot sauce just so I had something. It was better than nothing. The oxtail is already good without it, but I love the extra kick! One of the owners/investors happened to be sitting down with the private party/event at the table near ours and came to see if we needed anything which was really nice of him. Love the food/drink, music and vibes here. Come and check them out if you get a chance!

Grabbed a Tuesday lunch outside the home office today in the Haus of Chefs…read more Went for the burrito bowl with the blackened chicken. Great salad, better chicken. Very flavorful! The beans and rice are red beans and rice, so good. Also, they really fill the bottom of the bowl with them so if you don't finish the bowl you've got another meal side to go! Can't wait to try another dish.

Omg!!! If you haven't been to Jusla for Soul Food Taco Tuesday, you're seriously missing out…read more Chef's creations are super creative, bold, and absolutely worth the hype. Here's the Vibe * We had the grilled oysters to start (YES), and I went for the fried lobster tacos--yummmm. Perfect balance of crispy, creamy, spicy, and fresh. * Sadly, they were out of their popular oxtail and spicy short rib tacos (thanks to that graduation crowd), but that just gives me a reason to go back. * I love that this spot supports pop-up chefs and local Black-owned businesses--you can feel the passion in every bite. Logistics & Details * Located inside Haus of Chefs (they're open Saturdays and Tuesdays only). * The bar is run separately by the owner, and it's fire--solid cocktails like the Creamy Espresso Martini or California Dreamin' round out the meal. * Don't miss the full dinner menu--Salt & Pepper Bronzino and the Jambalaya Rigatoni are next on my list. If you're in Oakland and want something soulful, flavorful, and full of love, this is your go-to Taco Tuesday move.

Still my daughter's favorite Cajun restaurant…read more Quality/Quantity - Today we got the following: Cajun Wings - 10 pieces. Love me some deep fried wings! Glad we got the larger order. I think I ate most of the wings. Fried perfectly and each wing was of good size. Combo #1 - Crawfish, mussels, and shrimp (head off for $2 extra) with mild Cajun sauce. We also added 1 extra corn. Garlic Noodles - Regular size. How can you NOT like butter and garlic! We should have ordered a large...? But actually it was more than enough. Crawfish Fried Rice - This was actually better than expected and of generous size. Atmosphere - This was a brother/sister shared location. But now it seems like it is one business...? The sister owns the Bucket of Crawfish and the brother owns Pho Anh Dao. But today they seated all of us on the Pho side. Fairly large space. Still very few customers here even for a Saturday when we visit, so good for us. In the past, it was hard to find parking, but it is not a problem now. Plenty of street parking and I think they share a private lot with the motel next door...? Open 6 days a week, from noon until 9pm; closed Mondays. Service - Good/excellent; 5 stars as usual. We also like supporting the locals and family run businesses. We have supported this business since the "shooting." Optional bibs. This is a finger food type restaurant. Price - $99 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2014 at this location and since 2010 in Utah.
