"I came in on Saturday with a couple of friends & we had an amazing time! The food was sooo good, I got the peeled shrimp with potatoes, sausage & corn & we split an appetizer of mozzarella sticks! Yummy! Our server was Eric & he was phenomenal! So attentive, sweet & had such a good sense of humor! Probably the best customer service I've received in a long time, it was very refreshing! We definitely will be back!!! :)"

"I have such mixed feelings about this review. The first time we went, everything was amazing! We were given samples of the sauces with our food and we felt that we knew exactly what we were going to order this second time around. Fast forward to our second visit and the food tasted so different than what we remembered. We ordered crawfish with shrimp in spicy garlic butter. My husband and I had to keep adding salt, pepper, and lemon to give it some flavor. We also waited 40 minutes for our food. The restaurant was about half full and only one waitress. When we left the restaurant, we saw more staff. The first time we visited this restaurant, I remember leaving and thinking "I can't wait to come back"... This second time around, I don't feel like I need to go back."

Bag O' Crab

★★★★★ 4.6 (330) • $$

"Recently revisited and really enjoyed my visit this time! Service was quick and attentive. This time I had the: Garlic Noodles - if you like those thick lobster noodles, I would recommend this. Our table really enjoyed these and preferred it to the garlic noodles most other restaurants have. Shrimp, Atomic sauce, medium spice - nice kick to it and the shrimps were good! Quality was great and I tried it with the added instant ramen and it was delicious. Lemon Pepper Wings / Cajun Wings: Can confirm that they do a great job frying things here. If you like crispy, I'd recommend any of the dry wings (which still stay juicy on the inside) and their fries. Overall, great spot to satisfy those cajun cravings. I'd stop by again."

Royal Street Veranda

★★★★☆ 3.8 (378) • $$

"With so many places to eat around Disneyland, Royal Street Veranda can sometimes be overlooked. This quick-service spot offers clam chowder, plant-based chili, and unique seasonal snacks--solid 3.75 star, a-ok rating for me. As of February 2025, the breakfast menu includes the popular Waffle Cristo (in full and half orders), seasonal snacks, and beverages. For lunch and dinner, entrées include clam chowder or plant-based chili in a sourdough bread bowl, seasonal items, kids' meals, and non-alcoholic beverages. The snack-size Mardi Gras Monte Cristo was delicious and comforting, perfect for one person or to share with a friend. The sourdough bread bowls can be a hit or miss. Although I have had fresh bread in the past, the bread in my recent order was cold and stale. Also, the price is the same whether you get the chowder or chili with or without the bread bowl. I think you'd get more soup in a regular bowl. I'll have to verify that next time. They sometimes charge extra for the little dipping sauce or extra jam cups. It would have been nice to include it with the items.There is one window for walk-up ordering and one for pickup, including mobile orders. Mobile ordering is the way to go and save time. Magic Key discounts also apply.There are a few tables available at RSV but they can be crowded. You can also walk over to Tiana's Palace, Harbour Galley, or Stage Door Cafe (next to River Belle Terrace) for additional tables and breathing room.Note: I prefer the clam chowder at Aunt Cass's in DCA. ;)"

Bayou Grille

★★★★☆ 3.5 (373) • $$

"My coworker turned me on to this place. He's an Inglewood born 'n raised fella, with ancestral ties to Louisiana that still tug at his heart strings. He's also a picky eater, so when he swears by a place, that's because it's good. He swears by this one, and indeed the food is delicious. The twelve inch Po' Boy is a good amount of food to feed the machine mid-day, and that potato salad is really tasty & fresh. The catfish and breading is worth the trip, it's crave-worthy. This joint has its own orbit and will have you circling back, quality food for sure."

"My babygirl promoted today and wanted seafood. The place we originally planned for said they open at 11am but in reality it wouldn't till 2pm, and the other popular one would open even later! We were already famished and I'm glad I found this place on Yelp. They open early enough and it was more intimate cause we were the only, if not the FIRST ones in. Don't get the wrong impression that no patrons means bad business though! Food was so delicious!!! And we were even given cream puffs for dessert I also like the location."

Delicious Southern Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (288) • $$

"Dear Delicious Southern Cuisine restaurant, I have personally witnessed so many people who love what you do! From bringing out the big platters of budget-priced takeout and offering reduced prices for catering services during the pandemic, to your Juneteenth service for the whole community, it will be my mission to bring my friends and family here till you own the five star average you so sincerely deserve! (ALWAYS PUT THE MISSION FIRST!)Delicious Southern Cuisine is a family-owned restaurant with great service featuring delicious Southern, Cajun, Creole and Soul Food at affordable prices.If you rated this place less than three stars, I urge ya to give her another try! This restaurant offers catering, delivery, takeout and dine-in options.Located steps away from the metro with free parking in the rear. Plentiful ready-made meals, snacks and drinks available for easy purchase make this place a great option for takeout on-the-job or on the way home.Everything I've tried here is good. The barbequed ribs are melt-off the bone tender. The smothered chicken is a crowd favorite and very tasty.The seafood gumbo, my favorite dish here, is made to order and worth the wait! The small sized portion of seafood gumbo is big. It's a decadent stew with okra, onions, carrots, and a savory caramel rouix and a really generous portion of fresh crab, shrimp, fish and other shellfish. My family and I compared it to famous restaurants in Louisiana as we enjoyed eating it.I found this restaurant thanks to posted pictures online from grateful customers who ordered big platters of takeout food during the pandemic. Delicious Southern Cuisine restaurant offers catering services for large events and big trays of Soul Food for budget prices.Gumbo has a long beautiful history. It is America's national soup! The name Gumbo originates from the west African word "ngumbo" which means "Okra". Okra was brought to the United States by enslaved west Africans who carried the seeds in their pockets.Native Americans introduced sassafras and file to Gumbo. Spanish and French chefs added rouix, "the holy trinity" and peppers in their versions. Louisiana-style gumbo is known for combining the contributions of many cultures.Southern Louisiana style gumbo originally featured a rich combination of seafood and shellfish with plenty of okra, -similar to the gumbo here.Check out the featured prayer, awards, plaques and beautiful family photos on the wall behind the register as you pay for your takeout. Read the signs about supporting black-owned businesses as you enjoy your dine-in meal on the patio.Yesterday, on JUNETEENTH, 2023, I picked up takeout food for my beloved family member's birthday dinner. It was a great day to see this restaurant serving customers and the community.During the parade and JUNETEENTH celebration I watched hands giving fist bumps, reaching out to pull up people from the sidewalk and pushing elderly people in wheelchairs to this restaurant.Live music and DJs performed as thousands of people danced through the street.A weathered American flag waves in the wind perfectly centered across from this restaurant for everyone to view on the cute patio tables in front.I overheard lots of compliments about the food while I waited in line to order from many happy restaurant guests.A famous gumbo chef and great Lady, Leah Chase said every problem can be solved by sharing a bowl of gumbo. Leah's seafood gumbo recipe looks a lot like this restaurant's version.African American contributions are the star of America's national soup. I tried to recreate this dish at home with love in tribute and it came out pretty good!My favorite bowl of gumbo in Los Angeles and the world. I feel very fortunate to have found this restaurant and to share it with my friends, family and honored to recommend it to you."

"Soft opening special 50% off ends on 12/1. Read the fine print it is a max of $25 off per adult. They ran out of crawfish when I visited but they said a new delivery would come tonight. Wish there was a sign that told us that ahead of time. I only tried their shrimp this time. Located in the same plaza as Popeyes. The parking lot is small. There are only 6 tables available when I went so I would say it's a small restaurant. They surprisingly didn't have Cajun fries. I paid the extra to upgrade to daddy fries but it was pretty much their sauce on top of the fries, which made my fries soggy after a while. The daddy wings is pretty much the same thing, fried wings with the Cajun sauce on top. Of course it's soft opening so they were working out some kinks. Would've loved it more if they had crawfish available."

"My Review for this restaurant is long overdue as in long overdue. When I was about to review this CRISPY PORK GANG in the WESTMINSTER location this place had closed, and when I saw just now that they are open back up again, I called the restaurant to confirm and the lady on the phone said they were closed due to their Chef went to a vacation or something and now the chef is back and they are open back up again. I feel reviewing this place even though its already long overdue coz the food here is good and the service here is excellent. From time to time I treat my son and his friends by bringing them to Theme Parks and their favorite one to go to is Six Flags Magic Mountain . But as always, we end up going home around 4 or 6 in the morning because they still want to hang out more, even though they have already eaten multiple times at Six Flags and spent lots of hours together at 6 flags While we are still driving back home they will still find a reason to stay longer together by looking at where to eat and hang out more.While driving back home, YELP search is always my SAVIOR for where more to bring six teenagers ! On my Yelp search this CRISPY PORK GANG in WESTMINSTER popped up, saying it was open until 4:00 am !!!!!!!When we arrived I was surprised that there were still lots of people dining there when we arrive and surprisingly this Restaurant was still offering a good amount of options by the time we came at 3:00 am.I told my Son and his friends to order what they wanted, here are the ones we had:* CHICKEN SATAY *TOM YUM SOUP SHRIMP *YELLOW CHICKEN * JOM PON * FRIED RICE with CHICKEN WINGS * CHOW MEIN with BBQ BEEF *FRIED RICE with BBQ PORK *FRIED RICE with ORANGE CHICKEN All of the food are good and the most amazing part is how fast the food all came out.Before my Son and his friends started to eat or put their utensils in their mouths, I told them to put a little bit of their food in one extra plate so that I could Taste test each of what they had, and when i tasted them , surprisingly everything was still good on their cooking at 3:00 am. I love their Fried rice here, it's very tasty, and most of the food that we ordered had fried rice. My Son FRIED RICE with BBQ PORK was delicious , especially the PORK BBQ on it , its well seasoned . My Husband's meal was the JOM PON and mine was the YELLOW CURRY CHICKEN and white rice. Among the dishes that we ordered, I love the one that my husband got, it has 3 different kinds of meats and it's very yummy, even the noodles are perfectly cooked. My YELLOW CURRY CHICKEN was delicious too, there were lots of chicken in it. Oh, before I forget: their TOM YUM SOUP here is so good. As in good. Don't forget to order their Tom Yum here when you have a chance to try them. The service we received from Hien & Sunny was excellent and the food was all good, but the only thing I didn't like was when our food was served, I had to wipe off all the plates coz there were excess smudges of food on the sides of the plates from the food that we ordered. But other than that small issue, I really love that they are open until 4:00 am !!!!!! And I will be eating here again when I'm in the area ."

"Was craving Cajun seafood and since this was in my neighborhood. We figured we'll give them a try. Our go to is Kickin Crab thus far but I'm always down to give any new spot a try. Especially one that's local. Inside was cozy. It was also empty. They had basketball playing on their tv. The vibe was very chill. Our waiter was super friendly and very tentative. We ordered the shrimps and garlic noodles w/the sauce on the side. The sauce that came with the shrimps was a bit watery for me. The flavors were there but it felt watered down. The shrimps were really fresh so that's a plus. Garlic noodles were ok. I'm glad I told them to put the sauce on the side because that would've been a bit too much flavors for the garlic noodles. Over all, I might go back if I'm lazy to drive to Westminster because the service was great."

SON'S Cajun Spot

★★★★★ 4.8 (38) • $$

"I absolutely love mom & pop shops, and this one is no different. It's a small restaurant with 2 tables and pretty decor in the restaurant. They serve seafood boil, deep fried calamari, a few filipino dishes and southern sides. We ordered combo #1 which came with potatoes, corn, sausages and 3 pounds of your choice of seafood: clam, mussels, shrimp or crawfish. We got the crawfish, shrimp and clams. I'll use 3 works to describe the quality of the seafood: FRESH, DELICIOUS, and MEATY. To summarize, the quality is amazing and the price is worth it.If you're not dining it, order it to go! They serve it on a foil pan so it's easy to transport and even reheat in the oven. The sauce is delicious, the spice isn't spicy at all (but my tolerance is pretty up there), and their service is amazing. I highly recommend trying this place, especially if you're looking for a spot that has fresh, big crawfish. None of the crawfish we got was tiny. Happy eating!psssst... there's a parking lot :D"

"Our cashier was super helpful and nice. They have limited seating. It's more of a carry out spot. I ordered the Fried fish and a bag of muscles/shrimp with corn and medium spice. Tasted like no spice honestly. The Crispy Mahalo Fried fish !!! 10 out of 10. It was so fresh flaky, perfect crisp, perfect seasoning, and the daddy fries Were truly addicting and a very large portion. I will come back for the fish ! Boil seasoning wasn't really up to par not enough sauce or flavoring It was just eh... So I'll take a star off for that maybe they can do better next time however that fried fish was absolutely perfect and for that I'll be back soon"

"Beware of Name Change!! New Name - Same Crap!!Grub Hub listed the restaurant as The Boil Daddy but they are now renamed The Shaking Crab - Long Beach!! I didn't realize it was the same restaurant until after I received my order and saw the address was the same. ‍01.26 - Boil Daddy Order - Fish was undercooked (raw in the middle) and the peel shrimp I paid extra for was delivered with the head and feet 05.11 - The Shaking Crab Order - Food was 20mins late, cold, soggy and the peel shrimp I order was delivered with the head and feed AGAIN!! Plus the mild sauce I selected was Hot AF - like burn your booty hole kinda hot!Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I could chalk up the first time to errors - staff might have had a rough night or maybe they were slammed. ‍ but wow, second time with the new name!? Uhhh, shady much?Save your money.Don't order from here.Dishonest name changes.Food is less than decent & not prepared correctly."

"Dining here has been a family tradition since I was a child. The adults would stand in line and book a table for lunch and us kids would run off to the rides with the promise to be there or suffer going home early. Heaven forbid! I was worried I would not be able to continue the tradition without having booked early but luckily this time, we got there as they opened and were able to get a walk-in table. We were seated after 15 minutes. The ambiance was still the same which we enjoyed but the menu has definitely been updated. The delicious Mint Julip was an amazing start to our meal. I loved the Rosemary and Sea Salt Brioche, the Chicken Gumbo and the Sunchoke & Pistachio Pesto Pasta. My wife really liked her crab cakes. Our waiter was attentive and entertaining. He stopped by our table often with many Disney jokes. Why could Snow White enter the bar but the Dwarves couldn't? ;-)"

The Kickin Crab - Santa Ana

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$

"I can't believe I've never written a review for this Kickin Crab. I've been coming for years, and this place deserves a review.I used to (over a decade ago) go to Boiling Crab, but the long lines and decline in food quality made me search for a new shrimp boil place. Kickin Crab became my new go-to! Their Kickin Sauce is not quite the same as Boiling Crab, but I like it nonetheless! It has a slightly sweeter taste, which I don't mind. The shrimp here is almost always plump where the shells come off easily. There have been a handful of times where this wasn't the case, and we had shrimps that were overcooked or not fresh, and the shells were difficult to peel. Prices for the seafood are all market price... which is annoying because I like knowing how much things cost before ordering. Cajun fries and sweet potato fries are solid here!Service is always friendly and attentive. The interior has an almost identical vibe to Boiling Crab, seashore dock with writings on the wood panel walls. I did a lot of comparison to Boiling Crab because I was looking for an alternative, and I've found it with Kickin Crab. I highly recommend this place!"

"I rarely write a review the instant I walk in the door after trying a place but this restaurant deserves it. First off, parking looks non existent from the front but there's a big free parking garage behind the restaurant that you can enter off of Avalon or Carson. It's close to the freeway so it's easy to get to.The instant I walked in the door I felt like I was visiting family. All the staff here were genuinely welcoming and friendly and seemed excited I was a first time customer. They were giving me free samples of gumbo and let me try their Hurricane and Punch rum mixers before I ordered. They also explained everything on the menu. I went with the catfish plate with collard greens and "bean balaya" which is a half size portion of red beans and jambalaya so you get to try two sides and it only counts as one! Also a choice of French bread of cornbread. GET THE CORNBREAD. The sample of gumbo they gave me was mind blowing and that was just the broth. Best I've ever had so I will have to get the entree next time. The Rum Punch was so good and not only was it fruit punch flavored but it packed a punch. Was really strong drink.My plate came out smelling like heaven and looked just as good. Every single thing on my plate I was thinking "this is the best I've had". The cornbread was phenomenal. I could not believe how good the cornbread was. It was crunchy on the outside yet moist on the inside and tasted almost like cake. The catfish was also super crunchy yet retained it's moisture. It came with hotsauce, tartar sauce, and "gator sauce" which was a peppery ranch sauce dyed green but the fish was so good I barely used any condiments. All the side dishes were flavor packed and loved them all.When I was about done I ordered the fried chicken breast plate with tater salad and side salad for my wife as take-out. Even with the 25 minute drive home the chicken was still piping hot and crunchy. My wife let me take a bite and it was delicious. I like how they cut up the breast into strips so you got more of the wonderful tasting batter. The potato salad was heavy on the mustard and pickle flavors which was great. Salad had a tasty herbal vinaigrette.Truly loved this place and cannot wait to return. Next time I want to try the gumbo or the soft shell crab po'boy. Both maybe????"

Thank you so much Palmy and team for such an amazing experience at Nine Seafood! My friends and I had so much fun! The ambiance and experience were delightful. I truly enjoyed their reggae renditions of music -- very unique. In terms of food, all their food is fresh and made to order! They are a quality seafood place and also sell Thai food! My favorite has to be the pad see ew or chicken wings. My friends got seafood boil which was made to perfection.They were super kind and even brought out props for us to use! We took pictures for the birthday celebration and even had a backdrop! They truly knew how to throw a party. Definitely recommend having large parties here as long as you are able to reserve!"

"First time visit at Cafe Orleans. Our server was Alfonso. He, along with the entire serving staff CMs were fantastic!The outdoor ambience was very easygoing and peaceful. A lot of eye candy for youngsters. Now for the cuisine. 1) The Cajun chicken was very, very delicious and tender. The skin was thin and crispy. The meat was juicy!!!!! 2) Beef Bourginon or short rib was fall-off the bone delicious. A bit dry but that's expected from short rib meats. 3) Shrimp Alfredo was a really good combination. It would be better if the shrimps were not overcooked being dry at times. 4). Cesar Salad, a good starter but can find better for the price. Overall a 4-Star experience."
