Came in last Friday before 6pm and I was so happy to be seated right away! 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! read more

Good as always! Came to 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!! read more

My family loves this place! We've been to many comparable restaurants (boiling crab, kickin crab, etc.) and Stinking Crawfish is our favorite. Their seasoning is delicious, and their service was excellent. They offered bibs and gloves for us to use which was great for peeling the shrimp. They even offer a free fried Oreo for dessert. As far as seafood boil restaurants go, this is the top of the list! read more

Came here for lunch on Friday and it didn't disappoint. Got 1lb of the mild stinkin special tiger shrimp and clams. The shrimp were a tad bit over cooked but the flavor was amazing. The clams were tasty and practically fell out of their shell. The lemon pepper fries were crispy and the seasoning was so good. The place looks like it got remodeled and it looked really nice. The service was quick and our server was very attentive. read more

Got half pound of head-on shrimp with stinkin special seasoning and one pound of crawfish with the lemon pepper seasoning. It was so yummy and perfect portion for two people. I would probably like to try the garlic butter seasoning next time I go back! The free fried oreo and ice cream dessert was also a nice surprise :) The service could've been better. we had to flag down the waiters on multiple occasions to take our order, give us gloves, and give us bibs. This location was a lot smaller than I expected but it was still enough seating for there to not be a wait for a Friday night. It felt very homey. I will definitely be coming back here! read more

Drove by this place last night 8/16/25. It is no longer in business. Windows are all blacked out and graffiti on the windows.

Amazing food amazing service!!! We came in and were seating right away. They were quick and the food was fresh! My new favorite place!

We stumbled upon this place and was actually surprised at the service and quality. Everything seemed fresh and tasty. We ordered, med spiced tiger shrimp, peeled shrimp, lobster and fried butterfly shrimp. Our wonderful server Derek offered a dessert, but we didn't have any room. Going home stuffed. Thanks for taking care of the out of towners. read more

Went at 5pm on a Wednesday and the sign on the door said "come back at 5:30 lunch break."

I've come to this place many times in the past couple of years, but it seems that the food quality is declining. The last two times we ordered the Crabby Lobsters and the sauce was very thing and watered down. It used to be thick and full of flavor. Now it's just a watery sauce that is not good for dipping. This time we tried the Butterfly Shrimp and fries. The batter tasted burnt like it was fried in old oil and the inside was really dry. The fries were not crispy as if it was just sitting under the heat lamp for hours. I didn't second guess on how fast the food was ready or why the place was empty. But now it makes me think that the food was just sitting there ready to be given to the next customer. I am not sure if I will be back. read more

MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GO FOR SEAFOOD BOIL! The seafood here is absolutely delicious, high quality, and affordable! They even give you free fried oreo ice cream for dessert, and let me tell you...

My son and I really enjoyed this place. We both got 1.25 lbs of crawfish and 1.25 lbs of clams each. They are very generous with the amount of lemons they give. The French fries are the best. So so good. My son loved the free fried Oreo and ice cream dessert. They come in individual portions. We'll be back here every time we're in Whittier. read more

If you're ready to pay $70/lb for the skimpiest King Crab Legs you've ever seen, you're gonna love this place ! If you're looking for an experience where the Manager will promise to resolve it for you with a full refund and a complimentary item to compensate but will then go back on his word, this is also the place for you ! If you're wanting to dine at an establishment that asks you to let them take a picture of your credit card (on an employees personal phone for some odd reason) in order to help you, you've arrived at the place ! I, however was not looking for this experience. I was looking for one where the quality of the food matches what I'm expecting and being charged for, and I was expecting an HONEST Manager. So for those reasons, I will go to another establishment. read more

Honestly just a really bad service and overall taste was not it. Definitely not coming back to this location.

Do you like watery Cajun sauce that has no butter or flavor? Then this is the place for you! I came to this establishment to pick up a "stinkin special" but what I got was a stinkin disaster.. it boggles my mind how much this place has just gone down the porcelain pee hole as of late. The stinkin special used to be 34.99 (ish give or take a few bucks). Today... it was almost 80 dollars for the special and 2 sides of white rice. ( I understand inflation but this is crazy) The sauce... wasn't saucin' the sausage wasn't sausagin', it tasted burnt and old. The rice was old and crunchy. Abysmal at best. Bro seriously? I can't. God help us all. read more

Score: 9.5/10 Buzzwords: Perfect for Lunch, Great Environment, Attentive Staff Of all the eat-with-your-hands seafood spots I've been to - Boiling Crab, Boiling Point, Kickin' Crab to name a few - the Stinkin' Crawfish is my go-to. In comparison to their competitors, the Stinkin' Crawfish uses significantly less butter to maintain the same flavor profile one looks for when eating at these kinds of dine-ins. While I'm not entirely sure how the Stinkin' Crawfish accomplishes this feat, in doing I don't feel as bogged down and heavy after my meal. Everyday they sell oysters for $1/piece so long as you buy x6 or more. Additionally, their $13 Stinkin' Lunch Special comes with a half pound of white shrimp (head on), andouille sausage, corn, and a potato which is absolutely unbeatable. A buddy of mine ordered a half dozen oysters, x2 lunch specials, and their Cajun fries which was the perfect amount of food for a quick lunch bite for the both of us. Oh, and did I forgot to mention they offer complimentary fried Oreo cookie desserts? Overall, if you love this style of bagged-eat-with-your-hands food, this place is PERFECT, especially for lunch. The sauce is much less buttery yet still flavorful and light. read more

My picky husband loves this spot. The location is Stinkin Crawfish is interesting because you definitely can see it but it's on a busy intersection so take caution. During the dinner rush parking can be challenging, but if you're craving some crawfish then the search for parking is worth it. Now this place is structured to serve food that is to be eaten on the table with your hands and it does a good job at keeping up with cleaning. A good thing is that it does have a constant dinner rush so the food is moving. Now I have a sensitive stomach, so my husband gave me his insight on the actual star of the show (the seafood bag of goodies). My view will be on the food offerings for the kids and stomach sensitive adults. We ordered chicken strips for me and the kids, which came with fries. We also ordered some calamari, Cajun fries, and sweet potato fries. The dessert of a fried Oreo and vanilla ice cream was included which is so fun! Review of seafood bag of goodies: The bag was custom to include large shrimp, corn, sausage and potato with your choice of seasoning. I believe my husband ordered the first tier of spice for his seasoning. He said everything was cooked and seasoned well, he enjoyed everything in that bag. He did pair this with a mango cart michelada (which he says is the best he's tasted in our area). The Cajun fries he also enjoyed but he definitely over ordered lol. Kid/Sensitive stomach friendly: The kids and I enjoyed the chicken strips and fries. The chicken was prepared well and enjoyed even by my most particular child. I love sweet potato fries and the only comment I would have is that they didn't have salt on them so it would be nice to have the option to include that or add it myself. The calamari was cooked well and the sauce was good and I believe had a touch of spice. I believe the calamari was seasoned somehow with turmeric? So if you're not a fan of that flavor be aware. Overall we love coming because my husband loves it. It's a quaint little place with very nice and attentive staff and we will definitely visit again. read more

Food // Came with a small group, we ordered everything from lemon pepper wings to fried pickles, shrimp, crab legs, and who knows what else. Everything was delicious, and came out of the kitchen super quick. Some of the highlights were the wings, surprisingly, and of course the tiger shrimp - stinkin special sauce - medium heat. One person in my group ordered theirs spicy and they said that about half way through the bag it got super spicy, that accumulative heat is no joke. Restaurant // Parking is terrible here, but luckily there is street parking behind the restaurant. Inside it is spacious with plenty of tables. It was clean, the servers were super friendly and helpful when ordering. Overall it made the experience much better than other times I have gone to other SC locations. Notes // It is a little pricey, and it adds up when you come with a group, but overall it is totally worth it. read more

Location is not the greatest but the food and services is great! They are always nice and make sure everyone is enjoying themselves

I never leave yelp reviews but their food was so bad I just had to . I ordered from instacart and accidentally left a 5 star review, I couldn't edit it but if I could it would be 1 star. The sauce was like soup , no texture and it was sweet when I asked for mild . My sausage was burnt , oh and the shrimp was waaaaaaay over cooked , the shell was stuck to the shrimp and not easy to peel at all . read more

First time here. I really enjoyed the Triple threat. Full disclosure...I didn't get the head on shrimp. Doubled up on the tiger shrimp. Got the stinking special sauce mild level. It was delicious! Derrick and Yairo were great! They were both very attentive and polite. The adult beverage was cold! We even got a free dessert at the end of the meal. Deep fried ore and vanilla ice cream. Definitely want to go back. It was a great dining experience. read more
