Bakersfield is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Bakersfield follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Service was fine, but order at a desk for this kind of restaurant didn’t sit right, especially since you had to serve your own drinks at a restaurant where you eat with your hands. Food was terrible and expensive. You pay market price for food that is obviously spoiled or frozen. I got a pound of snow crab legs, and my fiancee got the peeled shrimp. Most of my crab was ok, Not great not bad but the last quarter it was just an expired mess. Her shrimp was all old, frozen, or both. The bag the food comes in, was also mostly just oil and even when you dipped into the seasonings it only tasted like grease. We also got an order of Cajun fries, which were literally just frozen fries with a dash of seasoning on top. I’ve had many Cajun fries in my life, none as plain as them. I really wanted to like this place since It’s near me, but I literally could not think of a worse way to spend $100. The cashiers were also eating McDonald’s as we ate, Which isn’t a problem but it was fitting because that’s where we went after hating the food here.

I’m ordered 1lb of king crab legs with everything I didn’t get my eggs or potatoes. If I’m paying by the lb give me what I pay for. Place looks so run down. Chairs were sticky. Bathroom had odor like mildew. For first time I was really disappointed. Won’t be coming back. And the parking lot had a lot of broken glass and potholes

Requested 2 side orders of fries, cashier made them, cook was away at the moment - one order was hardly cooked. The actual cooked order was great; no wonder the cook immediately asked what they cashier had some when they returned...only the Cook knows how to prepare meals. Strong seafood odor. Pricy menu....perhaps cheaper for families.

I recently enjoyed a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant, I ordered the butter garlic shrimp and the Cajun hot king crab, and both were exceptional. The shrimp were large, succulent, and perfectly cooked, while the king crab was generous in size and full of flavor. The seasoning was expertly balanced, with just the right amount of garlic and spices to enhance the natural taste of the seafood. The hands-on dining style adds a fun and interactive element to the meal, making it ideal for casual gatherings or celebrations. The staff were friendly, attentive, and contributed to a welcoming atmosphere. Consistently delivering high-quality, flavorful dishes, this restaurant is a standout choice for seafood lovers seeking a memorable and enjoyable experience. Whether you’re indulging in shrimp, crab, or both, this spot guarantees delicious food and a lively, engaging dining experience.

The service and atmosphere was good. Im expecting fresh and good shrimp for market price value. Whole bag was filled with spoiled mushy shrimp. Ruined my appetite.
