First time here with a friend couple weeks ago and I totally loved it! We got sha-bang shrimp and craw-fish, with cajun fries , they all went perfectly with some cold beer ! Now that is living good!

melly

Monday throughThursday are the best days to go because there's no waiting. Shrimp the whole sha-bang medium with corn on the cob and a side of cajun fries with ketchup-mayo for dipping "the usual" :)

Jun D

We had shrimp , king crab legs and Dungeness crab with the whole sha bang spice & its really good! Fried catfish , fried shrimp and Cajun fries are good as well ! It's a little messy to eat but worth it!

Tina Vo

Can't go wrong with 1lb of shrimp/crawfish the whole sha bang with corn & sausages ! Fried Catfish w/ Cajun fries ! Oysters ! And don't forget the ketchup mayo ???? yums!

Karen Do

LONG wait but more than worth it! Great customer service. The reception area is on the ball & the restaurant is clearly organized & runs like a well-greased machine! Get the whole shabang shrimp !

Andreas

The shrimp with 'the whole sha-bang sauce' and lemon pepper fries are amazing! It would be nice to see peeled shrimp on the menu though.

OC Weekly

The Whole Sha-bang Shrimp is #6 on our Top 100 Dishes! The sauce is an ingenious and patentable concoction made from butter, lemon juice , Zatarain's (I think) and lots of garlic . Finger lickin good! Read more

Nikco Moore

Delicious, inexpensive and less than 4 blocks from my house. Went on a Tuesday night so the wait was only 20 minutes.

Christine Danielle Tran

Mon-Fri usually no wait til around 7pm and Sat & Sun usually no wait til 3pm. Call ahead of time to see what the actual wait is! :) finger lickin' goodness!

Michael PALRO

If it's your first time, order 1/2lbs amounts of shrimp as it is the only item that can be ordered in that quantity. This allows you to taste more flavor & spiciness level combinations for your $$$.

Krissy H

Pour garlic sauce over your fries , well worth the extra miles on the treadmill

Tee Money

You'll be waiting a long time if it gets too late but once you get in, they are very accommodating. That sausage is out of this world! Damn!

G .

Shabang Medium Shrimp , Clam , Dungeness w/ Sausages and Corn , Lemon Pepper Wings & Sweet Potato Fries . Part of a balanced diet.

Norris Tran

The whole sha bang is just what the doctor ordered. Don't go higher than medium spicy unless you're a pro. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty . Come early and hungry! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Juiceifer Cee

Make it before dinner time. Get some oysters , shrimp with the while shabang and a heineken . If you can hang you won't be disappointed!

Miguel Contreras

Everything is great but have to get there Cajun fries with anything you get.

The Best plase to eat seafood

Mateen Shaikh

The whole shabang spicy is good with anything! King crab and lobster always good prices.

Maria Avery

Come by for lunch at 2 pm, when they first open their doors. Your wait will be 15-20 min tops!!

BJ Orbase

Lemon pepper shrimp . Garlic butter shrimp . One pound each. No spice necessary. Good times for all ages.

TONY ADIVARI

I've never seen so many adults wearing bibs in one place. But it's needed unless you want to smell like crab all day.

Marvelyn

ATTN: LADIES! While you wait, check out Skylark Nail & Beauty Supply . OPI Nail Polish for $4, and pleeeenty of other nail polishes for $1! :D

Ameen Aqeel

The shebang sauce is very good but if you're not a fan of garlic then it's not for you.

Nancy Nguyen

Hands down they have the best sweet potato fries I have ever had.

Jasen Badia Menchaca

The Cajun Fries were awesome but the shrimp was meh!????

Natasha Mendez

This place is always crowded , prepare to wait at least an hour. But once you sit down and eat, you'll forget how long you waited. If you're truly impatient, try going to the new one in Rowland Heights

Natasha Cherry

There is always a wait but it is well worth it!!!

Mohammed Ibrahim

the togo store is a big fail.you have to wait in the same line to order and pick up. if you phone in your order and its ready to go, you still have to easier in the long ass order line

Kevin White

I like how they cook the shellfish in pee. Gives it some ammonia flavor.

Kind of disappointed that there was no wait @ this time. It's become a part of the whole boiling crab experience

One of the tastiest fried shrimp around. Not greasy. Hefty-sized shrimp . Not a lot of batter. Just perfect.
