Cajun Crack’n

The service of the atmosphere were really great. The issue was the seafood which I felt wasn't fresh. I have eaten lots of crab and shrimp over the years and know the difference of fresh seafood and old seafood. Either the crab was old or was overcooked when I tried to crack the legs it broke completely in half including the meat which didn't taste fresh. I was only able to eat three or four shrimp because they taste so bitter. Other than that the staff and the establishment was clean and friendly. It is possible that it was not their fault and it was just a bad batch of seafood that they received. The best thing of my dinner was the garlic pasta which was a very large serving but tasted good.

They changed their name as “After bar and grill…” so it took us a while to find the restaurant. The food is like other Cajun restaurants. They won’t provide crab cracker unless you asked for it. They have a big bank at night from 9pm, very loud, with more than 10 people.

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnn everytime I make a trip down to SJ, something always has to be closed. 🙄 It happens so much, it’s not even funny anymore.

Let me tell you how excited I was to try Claw Shack. Drove all the way there to find out that they’re closed for the week. Boi was I disappointed. We opted for another seafood boil place, Cajun Crack’n, which was about 15 mins away. We ordered 2lb sprimp mussel combo / house special sauce / spice lvl medium(?) & a half order of oysters. Psttt this was my first time having seafood boil.. don’t roast me on this. I have to say… it’s quite good… IF ONLY MY SPICE TOLERANCE WAS BETTER or if IT WERENT SO SPICY. The oysters were good tho!

Love the fresh food here, spicy and yummy, a big place with fantastic people around by great music, plus the amazing service, that’s the place where you should go with friends for fun, highly recommend Jessica for the great customer service, love it!

My partner decided to take a stab at this place for our new restaurant fridays... and I'd have to say the place did not disappoint.

We arrived at 4pm, an hour after opening. Parking was easy and right in front. Once we walked in we were greeted by a pair of young ladies and brought to the booth. The place was LARGE, I only wish I took the time to take a photo, but it had slipped my mind. Everything was new and clean just as you'd expect from a restaurant that opened a week before.

Menus were paper and disposable, so you know there weren't any dirty hands prior.

We had ordered 1 lb of shrimp, house sauce, mild. The shrimp was plump and not shriveled like the other some other boil spots. Tasty and not too spicy, sometimes mild can get a hella spicy.

In addition, we ordered a whole dungeness crab, garlic butter, no spice. Man, was the head delicious, I think that's how you can tell the crab is fresh if the fats in the body/head are sweet and doesn't smell like a sewer. Though it seemed a little overcooked, it wasn't so much to ruin my experience.

Lastly we ordered a dozen oysters, sweet and good, only wish they had horseradish.

Unlimited soda is always great.

Service from Breanna was attentive as well, she checked on us every 5 minutes or so to see if we need anything.

I'd have to give the place 5 stars, nothing ruined my dining experience.

As your first choice for dinner, give this place a try.
