    The seafood was fresh, juicy, and full of flavour. The seasoning had just the right kick without being overwhelming. Eating with gloves and bibs made it fun and messy in the best way. Service was friendly and fast, even when it got busy. It’s the kind of place you come with friends or family, roll up your sleeves, and dig in. it’s right by Ross Dress for Less (perfect for some window shopping to freshen up my eyes) and Walmart (where I picked up sweet cherries after the meal).

    My daughter came home for vacation and she's craving for Cajun seafood. Most of the seafood places that my kids know are in SJ. My daughter wanted to try this new place Cajun Crack'n in Milpitas. It's replaced the Black Angus restaurant that we used to go while the kids were little. How time flies and now it's a seafood restaurant. It was a Monday after 6PM, we didn't have to wait inline. The restaurant is clean and decorated with 2 pirates as soon as we walked in the door. The kids missed their Black Angus but get used to the new environment now. The young servers were quite pleasant and attentive. A simple 1 laminated sheet of menu with quite a few dishes on it. I noticed right away the catfish basket, I love deep fried catfish since I've been in Alabama and tried it. So I knew what I wanted, the catfish and the Gumbo Soup that I like. I don't care much for the messy Cajun seafood that my wife and daughter are going to get. There are 2 combos, and they decided to get the big one, combo 2 for $90. My son wanted the chicken Cajun Fried Rice to be safe and will try some of the messy Cajun seafood. The garlic fries seemed to be tasty so we ordered one basket. For my fries that come with the basket, my daughter wanted to try the lemon pepper fries so I ordered that for her. - Catfish basket and Gumbo Soup (with rice): For me this combo is perfect for a dinner. The price is reasonable. The catfish fried perfectly, crispy outside and juicy inside, the fries are great, a little sour for me but I had the garlic fries were wonderful. The Gumbo Soup is amazingly tasty, the portion with rice under is not to big nor small. I would order this next time I come. - My son liked his Cajun Fried Rice, he ate it all in a heart beat, he also liked my catfish and the garlic fries too, not too crazy about the lemon pepper fries. - My daughter and my wife keep complementing the seafood inside a big bag, dumped it on the big plates: snow crabs (1lb), crawfish (1lb), green mussels (1lb),. The sauce was so tasty, the house sauce. The apron and gloves are a must. I had some sausages and crab, the sauce is confirmed excellent. My daughter ordered some steam rice to eat with the sauce and it's perfect. The sauce is a little spicy, she finished her Shirley Temple so fast and started with ice water. We did finish everything, even the sauce LOL. The damage was $183 which to us was reasonable with the amount of food and the quality of the food. We'll definitely come back here again. My son doesn't remember the last place he went in SJ. We may try that place first.

    Drove an hour to experience this place first hand. I had watched a tik tok video racing about it, and while I don’t necessarily enjoy ‘working’ for my food at restaurants, my wife LOVES seafood boils like this, and since it was our six year anniversary, I nutted up and went to work. We both chose the $49 meal. We both had snow crab, she had a double order of deveined head off shrimp. I had a single order plus green mussels. The boil includes potatoes, whole boiled eggs, sausage, and corn on the cob. We were there during happy hour and ordered $1.50 oysters. I ordered an Alvarado Mai Tai IPA, while she had a piña colada. Everything was delicious. The serving size was what I expected. And while there’s a part of me that thought the serving size didn’t meet the price, it did match what we have received elsewhere for the same price. Everything has increased in price or decreased in quantity post Covid. Sometimes both. The staff was great. Despite being happy hour, it wasn’t busy. We were seated immediately. The place is rife with ‘graffiti,’ but that is part of the aesthetic. People are presumable encouraged to write their names on the walls, columns, etc. Even tho I had to work for my food, I enjoyed it very much. The wife was ecstatic. Overall, we paid around $160 after tip.

    Oh this was friggin awesome! A loud of the green mussels I didn't think was gonna fill me and it got me about 75% there. I also got the corn on the cob which admittedly was half an ear for nearly $4 was absurd. The sauce it came it, the house one with medium heat was quite tasty. I'll be back but won't do the corn next time

    One of our newest favorite spots! Why? 1. Happy hour 3-6pm: oysters, $5 gumbo/calamari/clam chowder 2. All day Tues + Weds = $1 oysters 3. Exceptional service! Easy to get a table and they checked in on us while we were eating. Oysters did take some time to come out since everyone and their moms were ordering a dozen 4. Their original sauce is so flavorful, buttery and spicy even though we got mild. Coming back to try all the other sauces! 5. Their garlic noodles look promising too, we’ll be back to try that as well
