This is a top spot in Oakland for sure. You and three friends, get each of you a bib and gloves, you order 1(.5) lb(s) of shrimp (depending on hunger level) with mild rockin combo (spicy rockin combo sauce on the side) for all of the seafoods, 0.5 lbs of mussels, 0.5 lbs of king crab legs, garlic noodles (or two) and chili cheese waffle fries plus a few beers. It also somehow always ends up being like $25-30 to eat your face off. Absolute savagery. So delightful and fun. Crawfish are too much work and not enough reward IMO, I wouldn’t get more than a half pound. Head on for the shrimp as they are in fact NOT dead weight but perfect little sauce vessels. God I love this place. Go here.

I've been to this place over a dozen times but this was the first time I had ordered the garlic noodles. I regret not ordering them before!!! The garlic noodles are AMAZING!! I usually order the shrimp (heads off) and add corn. It can be quite spicy so for seasoning we usually get the rockin combo medium with a side of garlic butter. The line can be a little long (I've waited up to 45 mins) but if you come at random times there's rarely a line. Even if there is a line just give them your number and you can check on how long it'll take with your phone. We usually go take a walk at lake merit Highly recommend!! Especially when you're craving seafood

First time here as this place is closer to SF than Boiling Crab in San Jose. Different flavor but right seasoning with right amount of spicy for the kick. Ordered 1 lb crawfish & 1 lb shrimp for market price $16.99 each per lb. Very juicy & flavorful. Another favorite is waffle cut cajun fries. Omg, love love this one. The potato fries weren't crunchy but they were thick enough to have this chewy texture with bit crispy from outer layer. So in love with this potato fries. If you are big fan of fries, order this one. You won't regret it. Will definitely come back when I crave for crawfishes again. Decent price with fast service. Private parking lot.

They used to be the spot with consistent flavorful sauces and quality of seafood. The last couple years they've become pretty inconsistent of being good to super watered down. The last visit seems or tasted like they changed their recipe. The crawdads we got this order were perfect though, large good head butter and some have hella eggs. The shrimp is shrimp, they always tell us they don't have head on shrimp or they do (some waiters sometimes tell us they never serve headed shrimp). The clams we got this time tasted like the frozen ones. Def get a side of rice and scoop some of the sauce with a spoon full of rice to absorb all that flavor.
