The seafood bags are really fun but I have to say the garlic sauce is way more butter than garlic. The mussels were by far my favorite part compared to the shrimp, although honestly, my favorite dish here was the garlic bread! It was so delicious. The deep fried Oreos are free if you dine in but honestly I thought they were so gross because the Oreos get squishy in there!The service was nice but once you get your food you’re pretty much on your own because they don’t check back in on you.
First time at the Stinkin Crawfish and I can say I was truly impressed! The atmosphere was vibrant and the food was absolutely fantastic! Spiced perfectly and the portions were generous! Highly recommend stopping in when your in the neighborhood!
Love their crawfish and shrimp. corn on the cob. in medium spices. excellent.
This place was amazingly delicious for a while then it slowly started going downhill.... I always ordered the lobster dinner for my husband and I along with the bacon wrapped jalapenos....super delicious at first but, after a few times of ordering it we noticed the quality wasnt the same.... We dont know if this Pandemic had anything to do with it... But the food quality was poor the last couple times we ordered. We eventually stopped coming here. Wasnt worth it. The price is good for what you get the only issue is the quality. Im not sure if they switch the cooks or what happened but, the food wasnt always cooked right to the point where we got sick twice. You cant do that with seafood....you Have to make Sure its cooked right. Anyway its a shame what happened to this location...
One of the best crawfish i have ever tasted. Just like any old Crab Shack place it sells by the pound. The sauce and ingredients such as potatoes, sausage, and corn give the cajun dish a better experience. Not to mention really good customer service and deep fried oreos for free after every meal! Definitely coming back with family!
We are regulars here and we have never had a bad experience! My wife and I absolutely love this place, if its your first time ordering, get a half pound of peeled white shrimp, sauce Stinkin special and whatever spice range you like (be warned however spicy is really really hot) and for sides ALWAYS MAKE IT AWESOME.
Food is so good! I order the white shrimp stinking special mild. I add corn and potatoes. The shrimp is huge and you get a good portion size. Average for a 1 person is about 1 lb. i also get the Cajun fries and side of white rice. In my opinion this is better tasting that Boiling crab. These shrimps are also way bigger than boiling crab. Only thing i took a star off for is wait time. I waited almost double the time that my initial order was supposed to take. 30 minutes turned into an hour . But the taste and quality of the food made up for it. I also wish the location was a bit bigger. Luckily with both the inside and outside open they are able to fit more people.
Tried their spicy shrimp w/all seasonings, my mouth was on🔥. It was sooooo good. Great service and good prices.
Love this place and worked here for a spell some years ago I always go back and say hey to past coworkers. If Robert or Daniel is in the back your in for a treat and even better yet if one of the owners is cooking you bound to have a tasty time. I always get the catfish.. I hope soon they will reduce the restriction and we can go back to outside dining and this has to be tough of those small business owners. These are some unprecedented times but know that we will get thru this..
All pandemic protocols in place. I even happily sat an my still-wet disinfected seat, no problem. Service is fast and friendly. Food is delish and cheap (for what it is). We typically come by during the off-peak hours because Im a freak and cant do waiting in lines. And even during the off-peak hours, this place has a wait. Yup, its that good!
The food was good. Pricey. Not super flavorful. If you come in with a larger table, they dont tell you there will be automatic gratuity. Look close at your bill.
Really good food!! So happy I found this place,This is for sure my new spot :)
It was my first time here and it’s way to expensive. 1/2 pound of shrimp 12 and it only comes with like 10 pieces. The shrimp is so nasty it doesn’t even taste good and the cajun fries has so much seasoning it was gross. Never again coming here
Love the cajun shrimp here and personally addicted to the flavor. Great place for beer and seafood. Good cook and friendly staff
Great sea food, cool inside, the waiters were helpful 👍
In town for business and looks up different seafood options and decided on this place. Relaxed ambiance and the service is great. I ordered shrimp and crawfish in the Stinkin sauce. I loved the shrimp, it was delicious. The crawfish however was a little disappointing as you could taste that it was previously frozen and did not soak in the flavors well. Oysters are very tasty & fresh. I would recommend this place for a quick eat, good eatings and laid back dining.
Would give a zero star if I could. None of the seafood ordered was fresh. We ordered 3 lbs of tiger shrimp, and 1 lb of clams. Tiger shrimp tasted like it was in the freezer for 2 years (had that freezer burnt taste), shell were falling off the shrimp, and its overcooked. Clams tasted like its been dead in the tank for weeks. Got the house special sauce and the sauce was bland!!! Was the most disgusting cajun food and costed over $100. The only thing was good was the brussel sprouts which was nothing special. Its kinda sad. Wont be back!
Great Food, great service...
Stright fire everytime
Didnt live up to expectations for my kids that enjoy this much more than I do. Compared to Boiling Crab, according to the childrens, Stinkin Crawfish couldnt compete. Seafood was fresh to me, and seafoody, as Id expect, but kids seem to think that seafood taste was more pronounced; could be the level of flavoring of more or less depending on establishment. Food wasnt necessarily bad. For a taste of cajun, its a local spot and always seems to be busy, which important for me to see since it indicates the seafood is moving and not old.
I loved it the costumer service is good and so is the food. It looks very beautiful inside as well
The food was very good the service was pretty darn good too. The prices were reasonable.I enjoy sitting outside. Maybe thats one of the good things about Covid(?), sitting outside to enjoy a meal and see all that is going on around. Even though you could smell the smoke from the fires, it was a very good experience.
Best place to go for cajun shrimp.Their service is stunning n they dont take a long time to serve u, to be onest i rather go here 100% then boil crab, sorry not sorry.
Dirty TensilesFood is over saltedWay overpriced
Great food, we came during the lunch special time 11:30 -3 and we ordered a garlic parmesan wings meal with a fry upgrade to sweet potato, and a shrimp lunch meal special stinkin crawfish sauce(1/2 lb shrimp, 1 potato, 1 corn, 2 sausage slices). The shrimp sauce could have used more spices/ flavor, but the texture was so nice, the shrimp was fat and juicy, so delicious ! The wings were so yummy, and came so easily off the bone.They were a bit small, but since there was 8 pieces and it was not lacking, and the plate was loaded with delicious sweet potato fries that were so nice and crisp on the outside (I hate limp fries). At the end of our meal we got complimentary deep fried Oreos and ice cream (we were told it was part of the meal, even though we didnt see it on the menu) and who turns down free dessert ? The coolness of the icecream balanced nicely with the rich flavor of Oreo. We will definitely be back sometime again when we are in the area. 😁Service was friendly too ! Our server was sweet, and came around often to check up on us.
Seriously ana makes the BEST micheladas ever!!!!!!!!!! this place is always clean & professional & the food is BOMB!!!!!!
Catfish was delicious, fries were ok, cole slaw wasnt good .. too dry.
I have eaten here twice. The first time was everything. I had a lb of snow crab and lb of shrimp. Fresh and flavorful. My second experience not so great. The portion was small and the sauce was way to salty and thin. Your employee’s need to know more about the menu, as far as what you can do or not do. They shouldn’t have to ask the manager if I can get 1 piece of catfish with my order. Teach your employees what they can serve or can not serve.
Amazing food . Good price, and good service .Michis are to die for.
Great catfish, Coleslaw, and service!
The best seafood Ive ever had...
Food and atmosphere was great
Everything on the menu is amazing. Variety of flavors, seasonings and spice levels, they have something here for everyone.
Food isnt as good as I thought it would be. Parmesan Fries was mostly garlic, very overpowering. Bacon on wrapped Shrimp could have been cooked more. It was like eating fat wrapped shrimp. Very greasy. The spring rolls were average and the gumbo was disappointing. The Oreo Desert was the best thing on the menu. **Edited Reveiw** Gumbo was taken to go. Found the cut corner of a clear, thick plastic bag in the Gumbo. It makes me wonder if they do not cook fresh and the Gumbo came out of the bag. Way too much celery in it besides the plastic that I nearly choked on.
Delicious! Recommend the stinkin combo with garlic butter and medium spice. Combo includes shrimp, crawfish.clams, mussels, potatoes, sausage, and corn.To close out the meal, each guests receives a free ice cream with a deep fried Oreo cookie.
Best place to eat shrimp in a bag.
It was too crowded due to Covid.Review based on the look of dishes served and the observed reactions of diners.Everyone appeared pleased and the food looked and smelled wonderful.
Very good. A bit pricey but they offer dessert for free. The shrimp wrapped in bacon with the garlic fries was REALLY DELICIOUS, the garlic fries had extra garlic which was okay. They gave me thousand island dressing for dipping sauce which was okay. I think I will request cocktail sauce next time.
This place is amazing and the food is unbeatable and reasonable. My boyfriend and I have been twice in one month because it was too good!Ask for gloves that they don’t offer up front because it’s truly messy!
So great totally delicious food
This place is awesome for business travelers and also military members. The owner is Apsley fantastic the waitress is awesome and oh did I mention the food is great. You have to come here if you are out of town. Make this one of your stops. Go see the waitresses and the staff they are very friendly a plus plus rating. I had a great time here. Three of us tried the fried catfish combo and werent disappointed. My friend really enjoyed digging into a bag full of tiger shrimp. Tried the sauce....delicious! It aint New Orleans, but it satisfied my Cajun food fix.
Went in on Saturday for dinner. The food was good and awesome. But one of the waitress (young) seems like she’s having a concerned day. Not too happy. I’ve been there approximately 4 times each time was great, love the atmosphere, love the customer service. Most of them are waiters and they’ll help you to figure out the menu as well as your preferences. This time is kinda disappointed. Asked her how many shrimp would be in 1/2 for white shrimp. Answered was 4-5 shrimps so we ordered 1 lb or white and the other kind. The shrimp we had got was a lot more than 10 shrimps since multiply 2 (of what she told us). Anyways the food was always good. Love it. Just would have gotten a 5 stars because of her.
This place was pretty good. Ive ate at similar places and this one is pretty up there. The service was polite and fast but the reason I gave 4 stars was because of the spices. I ordered all spices with the HOT level is spiciness. It was maybe mild and it seemed to have salt pockets or something. It was still good but when I order something hot, I expect it to be hot.
This is a good place to introduce someone to Cajun flavors. Love the ability to order family style by the lbs. Good options of seasoning and spicy level.
Really good food!
Amazing food! Very flavorful and can make it nice and spicy!!
Waited 45 minutes to be seated, because they only had 3 tables available. As soon as we were seated they pulled out 3 more tables and umbrellas.
This is a great place. The food is very good and the atmosphere is even better. I gave a four star do to the small size of the seating area. I DO recommend visiting this restaurant.
Good food kind of pricey
Ok so I live in Whittier but been here 6 times, they are so consistent, the sauce is always tasty, the shrimp in not over cooked like other places(did I mentioned where I live) the shrimp seems to always be fresh and bigger for some reason, and the stag is so friendly, it’s like they actually trained the staff on this store, Great Job Guys you guys are awesome
Hidden little gem! Seafood was amazing! Calamari was soo good! Service was great! Will definitely be back!
It was great! Most places I go to have mushy shrimp this shrimp is great. Only issue is the Brussel sprouts were over cooked
Love coming here! Always quick with seating parties, very inviting, and their food is delicious. Love that I dont have to wait over an hour like most cajun seafood places. Also they give you free dessert which is super amazing! Keep up the good work guys!
It was really good would come back again free fryed oreo and 1 scoop ice cream.
Went to try it out on a rainy day. Found the place packed and decided to wait. Having to stand by the door or just adjacent to. We were told that we couldnt block as if that was our intention. We moved over to the side and told no to stand there either. I was uncomfortable as it was to be standing over people eating. I dont know what the guy wanted us to do. Unfortunately I wont find out how the food is but the server / host was not pleasant at all. We decided to go to a different restaurant were they might appreciate a customer a bit more. I dont appreciate being mistreated by a restaurant server.
Order the lunch special for my wife and mother which is supposed to come with corn sausage and potatoes but for some reason they dodnt come with any of it just the shrimp and we didnt notice till it we got home so we called him as soon as we were home and they legit told us they cant do anything because we were supposed to check the food before we left the re restaurant which makes no sense because its during this pandemic and Im not gonna stay around people just to look at my order they better get it right or at least let me go pick up the stuff you left out. Wont go back again avoid if possible plus the shrimp was over cooked and soggy like they didnt let it thaw out
Good Food. Great prices for beer. Great selection sea food combos. Not recommended for that first date, unless you both like garlic. Good Happy Hour. 7 big screen TVs.
Ordered combo which was enough for the two of us. Had enough left over to take home a good portion. Will try their lunch menu next time. The mild sauce was just right.
Food came out really quickly and it was delicious! The server was nice and attentive and bathrooms are clean.
I loved our experience here. We went right at 12pm on a Sunday. No line, no two hour wait like some other places, no hangry family members to simmer... So right away, it was a pleasant surprise. There were football games on which my brother and my mom liked right away. We ordered a combo, hush puppies, stinkin fries, rice, and drinks. Everything was delicious. The only thing I would change is getting mild heat next time instead of medium... I burned my lips off but couldnt stop eating because it was so delicious. We used our yelp check in to get dessert... And we loved the deep fried Oreo!!! I cant wait to go back!!!
Our dinner was great, they have the best service. No waiting 1-2 hours like other places. Plus, there prices are responsible...
Love there food
The food is great. The price is right.our family loves the place. We have been there about 6 times in the past 3 months.
Great food and great service during these crazy covid-19 times. Will eat here again!
Came here three times, if youre watching sports game, this is the place to be, they have several TV screens in every wall. The prices are reasonable and must try their garlic fries and raw oysters. Try their shrimp combo.Best of all, this place has free dessert. Deep Fried Oreo donuts and a tiny scoop of ice cream.
I liked the large white shrimps... I think the Michelada price its expensive. $7 its small CUP and they have to learn to make it... the Cajun fries are good ..
I ordered peeled and headless shrimp and I got a tiger shrimp. You have to request for napkins otherwise Ana the manager said we have to request it when we order a to go. It’s a to go and it’s a shrimp and it’s not like I am going home to eat this .
Hits the crawfish kick if your craving it. Staff is all over the place. Poor teenagers. While waiting 50min for TAKEOUT I didnt see or notice who the Supervisor was. It was a hot mess. Definitely need better management and extra hands.
This the best place to get crabs and shrimp done right. They serve them in a bag with their special skinkin sauce. Absolutely wonderful! You can add corn and sausage. Nice atmosphere.
My guilty pleasure when my wife is out of town, shes not a big fan of shell fish. As a solo patron I tend to sit at the bar where usually I can find sporting events I can enjoy as well as some friendly staff conversation.I like this place and by the crowds I encounter, so do others. Keep this place on your list of got to visit.
Always a favorite go to spot. Prices are very reasonable. Fair beer selection. Love the fried oreo dessert. A little salty though and BEWARE of the hot spice. It is super hot!
Food here is the bomb only reason for no five stars is because they took a very long time to get food out and refill my drink and it wasn’t a busy day. Also they over charged for tip says 15% but i double checked mine and were charging 20% instead.
This place was amazing
Best experience ever. The manager saku very cool, down to earth. Staff so nice on point best experience ive had. Id definitely come back, way better then boiling crab
I was hoping to get same taste as the one in paramount but I got a bag full of garlic bits and over seasoned sea food. NASTY TASTE. tiger shrimp looked like regular baby shrimp, and overall Id rather go to san pedro where I get more for the same price. Period
Absolutely DELICIOUS! And they give you FREE DESSERT!
It was just okay nothing special. The mild shrimp they said was hot but it wasnt at all. I would of gotten the hot one. But the shrimp and halapeño poppers get 10 stars. That and the deep fried Orioles.
Love this place. Has great cajun food.
Amazing Food! Service was excellent!Cajon Garlic fries are the Bomb!! Calamari was delicious. Cant wait to go back and try some more!
Very good. A bit too much garlic and the corn on The cob is cooked In Shrimp seasonings. Just want corn without the seasoning
The best shrimp wrapped in bacon and the garlic sauce for the catch is to die for. We were in food heaven for an hour! Thank you!
Very good food with a free dessert of fried oreo and ice cream. A lot of food,yummy!
Ive only been here three times and its always terrific I love seafood. Good service five stars the price is always good
Better than the boiling crab with no wait and a complimentary deep fried Oreo cookie. So delicious. Cant wait to go back.
Great food for those that like a crab boil. Good service, friendly staff
I loved this place... It opened in the shopping center on Beverly and workman... Where the Quiznos used to be.... Very good!!! Cant wait to go back
Best tiger shrimps
