There's not much to say but wow 20/10 would recommend this place. It was beautiful cooked. I'm from Hawaii and seafood has been a miss in Missouri but this is a definite hit!!!

We normally go to Krustaceans on 9th St.....but decided to try this place. Though I'll speak well of this place, the cost/value of this place - will (still) have me endorsing Krustaceans in Columbia. The seafood at this place, was cooked very very good. The quality of the seafood was a very clean tasting seafood. Even the shrimp had a nice clean flavor. And we're you looking for butter? Oh, they do (not) spare the sticks of butter at this place! The potato. Oh yes, I said "potato". I have never had a seafood bowl - have (just) a single potato. The potato tasted absolutely great. But 1 potato? That was a joke - especially after you see what these items cost! The garlic butter: There was plenty of butter. Tye flavoring of the butter, certainly was unique of sorts. Seemed to have (possibly) a chili powder base. And though I thought it was good...I also got tired of the taste, after a bit. The Big Downer at this place: Cost. You see my (2) platters. Add (3) cans of Coke - the cost was $150.00. Yes, that's correct: $150.00. Sure, there's a whole lobster on one of the platters. BUT, it wasn't that big by any means. And let's remember: 1 potato was included in the platter. 1 small red potato, came with it; at that price! Lol. Conclusion: Krustaceans is where you should go - for the seafood boiler platters. A much better combination of quality, value and price.

Manager reached out after my review so clearly, some one here cares. Offered to remake the meal. In light of that a addendum to my review is warranted. I appreciate the intention. They do use MSG so it's a hard pass for us but at least you know that some one will try to make it right if there's a problem. I never complain about food or service at the point of service. I don't think it's worth the possible aggravation. A review is as close as I'll get to a complaint. Some customers don't say a thing, they just don't come back.

The best Cajun seafood I've ever eaten. I've eaten a lot in my lifetime and this tops them all and I lived on the gulf coast over 40 years so that says a-lot. We'd already eaten sone shrimp off our platter and dungenous and king crab so tge pic is lacking but still you grt the jest!

This place is a gem in Columbia, convenient pit stop for those driving between KC and STL right off the highway. Delicious Viet Cajun seafood. Regardless the spice level, I recommend adding garlic butter toppings for extra savory flavors. Their hot wings got a nice kick, great seasoning. Food comes out quick. Great service and very clean place. Expect a 3.99% service fee with your orders dining in, it is normal nowadays to cover additional overhead expenses.

Fresh seafood, they have a restaurant where they will cook it for you, you'll think you're at a seafood boil down south!! They also own a store where you can get the freshest seafood in Columbia to go! Fix it the way you want when you get it home. Inside of the restaurant is usually pretty quiet, I've never been there when it was crowded, you can also order it to go on one of our many local food delivery apps. Make sure you have a bib, their meals are so juicy they will run down your chin, just don't wear your good clothes!

This was a great find on our trip through the area. The service was excellent and the food matched. We were greeted by Martin who offered great recommendations since it was our first visit. We ended up ordering the create your own Cajun Combo with a medium spice level that included 1 lb shrimp, 1 lb crawfish, two pieces of corn and a sausage; the fried catfish basket with hush puppies and an egg; and 6 hot wings with sauce on the side. Tarter and cocktail sauce and garlic butter came on the side. Everything was served piping hot and delicious. The boiled seafood was tender, flavorful and well seasoned without overpowering the delicate texture of the seafood. The catfish was lightly battered and had a clean flavor. The sausage had a gentle kick and was well seasoned with savory spices. We took the advice of Martin and dipped the sausage in the garlic butter - wow, a great recommendation! The hot wings were delicious. Had I known they were that good, i would have requested them as typically served tossed in the sauce. The hush puppies we not typical in that they too had a a great mix of spices and maybe herbs; crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The corn seemed to soak up the boiling spices as well and was tender and flavorful to the last bite. In addition to providing utensils, wet wipes, bibs and even gloves, they had a nice hand washing station near the entrance with great smelling soda and towels. It was a great space to wash up before and after eating. I would definitely return tho the Cajun Crab House if I was in the area - and I'd hope to find Martin and Maria working that day too.

Every time we have stopped here, at least 8 times. The experience has been great. The fried food somehow isn't too greasy. It always tastes fresh and cooked perfectly. Fried scallops are excellent.

We love seafood and have been excited to try this place! It seemed almost like a fast food restaurant, but is more like a fast casual order at the counter type of place. So we were skeptical at first about the quality, but the food was delicious! Love how they give you bibs and the messiness makes it more yummy! - Crab combo with snow crab, shrimp, mussels: we loved it! Everything was seasoned well and tasted amazing. It was pretty buttery though (which made it tasty), so I felt a bit bloated but it was worth it lol. I love the shrimp, the boiled egg was a great addition as well. Potato and corn also great.
