This is more of a fast casual seafood boil spot. You walk in and order at the counter and also pay. You’re not required to tip, I suggest bringing cash to tip after. As you get the food brought to your table and you can see how the service is. I had extremely awesome service! Staff was so helpful and friendly.
Now onto the food, we had some of everything. My favorite boil was the king crab. Obviously we’re not getting fresh stuff in Arizona. So for where we are, it wasn’t bad at all. Some other items that stood out to me were the shrimp and grits, Cajun fried rice, garlic noodles with crawfish, fried cat fish, and even the fries were excellent.

Listen, I’m from Louisiana and I approve this boil!! I love the Asian twist on the Cajun rice and the option of getting noodles!! It’s like they boiled but didn’t try to replicate a traditional Louisiana boil, they put their own spin on it and that made it special! Even the Louisiana punch was legit!
We got the snack pack and the XL. I wasn’t able to substitute the rice for noodles even though it says you can on the menu, but I got a side of noodles and SO glad I did! I had enough shrimp to eat with the rice and with the noodles like a pasta! They were huge! Flavors were everything! It wasn’t super spicy or anything but had a really nice flavor! It did take a noticably long time to get our food but the food runner apologized for our wait!
Loved the vibe! I was able to watch sports and they had some great music playing too! It’s not a full service so you order at the register and they bring it to your table but you fix your own drinks and get your own utensils.
Don’t skip this one!

Three of us ate here, all first-timers, so we all ordered different dishes to get a feel for the place. First, a special shoutout to our server named Sang. She was helpful, enthusiastic, and genuinely cared about our dining experience. She’s truly wonderful and made our first visit an amazing experience!
On to the food.
Fried okra: batter was perfectly light and crisp and the okra was juicy and tender. I give this an A+.
Wings: Good texture and sauce. Welp, they’re wings. Solidly executed and hard to mess up. I give this an A.
Shrimp Po’ Boy: You get plenty of shrimp, which is great. Bread was light and just the right thickness. Only disappointment was the sauce, which needed more seafood flavor. I give this a B+.
We ordered a side of garlic fried rice. I love garlic, and this dish didn’t disappoint. Tasty! A+
Shrimp Etouffee: This was the only disappointment of the night, because it did not look or taste authentic at all and could have been spicier. The sauce was pretty thin and bland. Overall, this seemed more like a Southwest interpretation of Etouffee rather than a real Cajun dish. Sadly I have to give this a C-.
Shrimp Gumbo: This dish was spot-on. Taste, texture, and ingredients were great and reminiscent of the gumbos I’ve had in New Orleans. This gets a solid A.
Lastly, the surprise breakout hit of the night was the fresh-squeezed orange juice. We liked it so much we ordered two! Hands-down the best and most flavorful orange juice I’ve had in a long time and offered at a good price, too. A+++
Overall, a great place with excellent service and food! We’ll definitely come back.

They do have alcohol listed on their menu but do NOT currently have a liquor license, so they don’t actually serve alcohol.
The server seemed new and repeated our order several times only to get it wrong anyway.
The snow crab and shrimp boil was great. The flavor and spice is bold.
The crawfish egg rolls and the hush puppies were fried perfectly and the sauces they are served with are unique and full of flavor.
The Fried Catfish and Shrimp plates were delicious. The fries were the perfect crisp and flavor.
The Catfish Po Boy taste fresh and flavorful, however it came with the smallest pieces of fish and lacked fullness.
This place is decent, but nothing to write home about.

One of the best seafood places in the state. The crab was the brightest color and you can see and taste the freshness.
Service was top tier and the woman at the front taking orders walked us through the menu and get us a few suggestions.
Don’t sleep on this place. It was great.

My husband and I arrived slightly before 6pm on a Fridate, and we were able to be seated right away, just beating the rush. The customer service was super nice and friendly right from the start. We got a pound each of shrimp, crawfish and clams + corn, sausage and potato with the signature sauce, medium spicy. I loved how flavorful the sauce was. The Cajun fries were also very crisp and good! They give you the option of lemons or limes (we got both), and they had ranch for our fries. Would recommend and will be back when another Cajun seafood craving hits.

This place is delicious! We ordered Fried Oyster Nachoes, and Crawfish Eggrolls as starters. For our main course we ordered Crawfish Fried Rice, which was a huge serving size and had a nice amount of Crawfish in it. We also ordered a boil bag with Dungeness crab clusters with sausages. Food was delicious and the service was even better!

Decided to try this place after a recommendation from a friend. Got a seafood broil with “the signature house blend”. Absolutely delicious. The shrimp was fresh, well cooked and tasty as well as the crab. I also tasted the fried catfish which was also pretty good. Great service and the food came out pretty quick. I will note that I came in at the start of the day 12p so I don’t know what the service is like when it is very busy. Very satisfied with the place. Clean with great customer service. Will be back when I come back to Mesa.

I was visiting family in the Phoenix area and saw that my favorite crawfish spot from Houston is now in AZ When I used to live in Texas, this was my go to spot during crawfish season. I’m so happy that this is the same owner as all the ones in TX and that their sauces and flavors were all the same! Now mind you, in Houston you can get live crawfish everywhere during the season, so when there’s any chance I can get my hands on live crawfish I get super excited. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Just like most Viet Cajun spots they have sinks conveniently located in the dining room so you don’t have to walk all the way to the restroom to wash your hands. For our table we got 5 pounds of crawfish, oysters, 1 pound of shrimp, fried wings and fried okra. My favorite flavor combination for crawfish is “The Grail” which is Garlic Butter and Thai Basil, it is a must try! A close second would be “The Mix” Garlic butter + Lemon Pepper. Also the wings here are so flavorful and crispy! Lastly the service was amazing! Sang was our server and she was on top of everything. She came to our table a handful of times to make sure we had everything we needed and to also make sure we were enjoying our meal. She has such a positive attitude which made our dining experience really pleasant. The other staff members also came to our table to check on us which I thought was really nice of them. Don’t hesitate to try this place y’all

This was our first time here. Nick did a great job explaining the menu and his recommendations were on point. Food tasted great. We ordered a boil with king crabs, snow crabs, sausage and shrimp. The Cajun fries were delicious and we ordered corn in the boil and outside. Recommend both ways. Overall it was a great experience! Dug into the food right away we forgot to take pics!
