Shrimp , veg/sausage mix are fantastic!! Very tasty spice mix, best Cajun in the South Bay ! A bit expensive for take-out; friendly staff !
The king crab legs and shrimp were amazing..the best I have had so far in the US..I dare you to try the XXX level of spiciness . My lips are still tingling from the spiciness and trust me I know hot!!
If you plan in eating dinner , be prepared to wait a longggg time. If you live nearby, get it to go and eat at home! They even give you the wax paper and the bibs so the cleanup required is minimal.
I love this restaurant’s concept. King crab is very good, service was superb. Waiting line is long but it worth it.
Crab , shrimps , oysters ! Excellent! The best seafood place, price was excellent. Worth waiting for 1.5 hours just to eat!
The whole shabang shrimp is really tasty and you can get a table cover to go to enjoy at home without the crowds.
I dun rec this lv of hotness unless you can take the heat. Even then, too spicy takes away the flavors of fries . I would go Med.
if you live near the area, order to go and reduce the wait time by 100x and eat at your place like a king
Waiters/waitresses are nice but can be incompetent. People who eat here are very rude & cut in line/take your spot if you have the same name, so be assertive. Get the sweet potato fries w/ your order!
Half pound of shrimp with the whole shebang and sweet potato fries ! Hell yeah! Avg wait time is 1.5 hours so be sure to bring good company!
Try the The Whole Sha-Bang Crawfish - #kvpinmybelly : w/ @CateCauguiran @atrin @jcqlncarter. Spicy , salty butter goodness over #crayfish . Wowa!
Go wild ???? ???????? ????????????????????make sure to be there by 11:30 so that you make the first cut
Make sure to make it here 2 hours before you even feel hungry .. Long line buddy :) or you must order to go!
Whole sha-bang XXX or you're not eating to it's full potential! You can get half pounds of shrimp for $5!
Crawfish with Cajun spice . It was alright. I perfered the whole shabang sauce more.
Messy but fun and delicious.
Leave your name and shop around the plaza while you wait. The wait times are crazzyyy long! Plus there's awesome stores to waste time in.
Make sure if you say your party is four, that all four people are there ready to sit or you will be bumped!
Use the limes to take the mess of your hands, then wash hands in the bathroom . It's less messier this way, and your hands smell better!
Get here early! Wait is at least an hour long. Crab and shrimp is good with the "whole sha-bang" sauce
The crab and shrimp are both great in the whole shebang sauce .
Crawfish sucks! Get medium, whole shabang lb. of shrimp + sweet potato fries . & most importantly, be very patient! Wait duriny peak hrs = 1.5-2 hrs
Sweet potato fries and lemon pepper chicken are some delish sides to go with the pounds of crawfish you're ordering
Great great lunch ! Feasted on fresh oysters , shrimp and king crab .
Shrimp , corn on the cob, Cajun fries , and a Corona. Guaranteed satisfaction!
King crab , shrimp , & corn on the cobb are the best!
Seriously so worth the drive from where I live. They should open a branch in SF.
Togo is way faster.... However every Togo I have had was really half assed I noticed I get way more shrimp eating in then togo
This location is much bigger than the one on E Capitol Expressway, so you DON'T need to come 30mins-1hr before they open to wait in line .
Push everybody off the one bench outside so you can lay down and sun tan
Rice with shrimp and the whole shabang
Always crowded like usual, but a good place to get together with friends
The crawfish was a great value .
Get the whole shebang sauce
If you from the 707 & drove all the way here to eat, u better come visit me at Chase... it's in the same plaza ;)
Menu The Boiling Crab
I dream of the XXX whole shebang sauce ... Drizzled on everything.
Better to go on a weekday. Weekend can leave you waiting for an hour plus!
Crab , lemon garlic fries
Never go during the hours of 530-9! Way too crazy and the workers get sloppy with the waiting list and forget who's there! 2+ hour wait during that time
We keep waiting for 2 hours !!
Unique experience, but the food is mediocre and the service is subpar. The food is something you can cook up yourself at home. Place is extremely packed. In my opinion it sucks.
Expect to wait at least 45 minutes, check Yelp waitlist! Target is close by if you get stuck with a really long wait .
Shrimp , crawfish , corn && potatoes .. xxx w/the whole shabang !
King Crab Legs with the whole shebang
$3 beers , $10 corkage. Buy your wine at Target across the parking lot .
You can get half pounds of shrimp ! Not the case with the crawfish , though.
Try to get here right when they open the doors.
2 hour wait time for a table for 2 people?!?!?! Seriously?? Dont bother waiting for a table, take it to go and save the tip for some more food.
Whole shabang medium :)
