Got the luxury dinner for 2 with Cajun fries 1 mimosas 1 soda crayfish shrimp and crab. It also comes with corn and potatoes. Added steamed rice and Louisiana sausage all with Cajun garlic sauce spice lvl spicy and it was AMAZING 👏🏼 would absolutely come back again. For dessert we got chorros and they were pretty good as well. The waitress was very nice. Atmosphere was over all really chill. Would Recommend to anyone that loves seafood and doesnt mind getting a little messy.

This is the best crab boil in the inland empire that Ive tried hands down. I got snow crab with lobster tail potatoes and egg with the garlic butter sauce non-spicy and it was so flavorful. Will definitely be coming back again

Buttery delicious cajun seafood in Riverside? 🦀 🦐 Yes, please!!We loved the seafood boil family platter with 5 pounds of seafood, corn, and potatoes for only $114.95! My favorite was the juicy shrimp and snow crabs.My 6yo loved all the mussels and clams in the mild flavor.The service was excellent too, very friendly, and they didnt mind explaining all the different seasonings and seafood options.Our group at Inland Empire Eats loved it ALL and will definitely be back! (And were picky!)

GO! We we’re a little worried when we arrived and it was empty. Buuuut, we we’re assured they were open and ready for business! Literally haha their 7 weeks in just waiting on the liquor license so they can fill up the place. Either way we enjoyed our dinner, our server Brennan was awesome! Super attentive but not “too much”. Food was super hot the way we love it, and really flavorful ❤️ They were NOT stingy with lemons and limes either! presentation 10/10! Like I said their READY! We spent a hefty amount for 2 people so expect to pay for quality and service.

We have gone to many crab boils and this was the best by far. The seasoning, the amount, and more was just right. Our server Brennen was the sweetest. He helped us decide what to get and it was amazing. Will definitely be coming back from Northern California. Attached is a before and after. Can you tell we enjoyed?!

I came here because I wanted some seafood and something spicy. They were one a few restaurants that was still open past 9:00. The food menu was very impressive and delicious looking. They were quick to make my order and it was hot and fresh. His staff was friendly and I enjoyed the appearance inside the restaurant.

Absolutely delicious. From spices to spice range, my husband and I will definitely be back. For our order, we did take out. 1 lb of shrimp each with potatoes and garlic bread. We did the whole shabang of seasonings with a medium spice range; and HOLY MOLY was it enjoyable! If you are not one for spice, I recommend mild. Anyway, it was a delightful meal and Im so glad this place opened up nearby. With our take out order, they supplied us with gloves, bibs, lemon-limes, and salt. The staff was very sweet to my husband and offered us parking validation to stay and dine-in. However, we had our dogs with us tonight. But I do recommend this place 10/10!

First time here and to be honest its really good. The seasoning was one of the best I have tried. I like the fact they have other items kids can eat not just shrimp, crab, etc. The plus side is they are one very friendly and guide you through your order. Will come again.

I did take out 1lb head on shrimp and 1 lb crawfish. I had mixed results even though both were ordered the same exact way, Cajun Garlic Butter Mild. The shrimp was hard to peel, however did have Amazing flavor though. The crawfish, even though asked for the same way as the shrimp, was like eating brine, way to salty. Staff was super friendly when was there placing the order and they gave a great amount of lemon slices, salt&pepper, napkins, wet wipes, bib, gloves to peel your seafood, and fork. Overall Id try it again but hope they fix the consistency of flavoring, if items are ordered with the same seasoning 1 should not taste amazing and the other way to salty.

We were already buying food from Jersey Mike’s when I notice this place in the middle of the strip mall thing, I took a bunch of pictures and talked to the employees and they were all very very cool and very very polite and more than welcoming, we will definitely be back tomorrow to sample their foods, eat local, shop local, buy local.

Hard to find good flavor sauce when it comes to this type of food, but this one I really like and the sauce is still good the next day so I boil me up some shrimp and a lobster tail and round 2! Lol but on a serious note the employees are really friendly and the place looks really nice.

Our first time here and I must say the food was amazing! Im not even a fan of seafood but it was really fresh and didnt have a fishy taste at all.....our server Brennan gave us hands down the best treatment weve EVER received ! He was polite and attentive and made the experience so much more enjoyable! Definitely would return 😊

The crispy chicken is a little bit salty. But the garlic noodles taste good for people who can eat garlic. The creamy pasta is also good, especially for people who like cheese and cream stuffs.

Our server was really friendly and I didn’t catch his name. We came an hour towards closing and our food came out quick. Our server was very patient with us and didn’t rush us. I came off a late flight and was really hungry. I couldn’t have asked for a better server like the one I had tonight.

By far the best Cajun Seafood in the area! Staff was very attentive we did not have to wait around to ask for anything. The shrimp are humongous! Even the peeled ones are bigger than most places. The restaurant itself gets 5 stars for cleanliness. We will be back and have no need to try other places.

I visited this place at lunchtime on a weekday and it was sooo delicious. The lunch prices were great too, as well as the customer service. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with added Cajun shrimp on top and it was perfect. Rich creamy sauce with plenty of cream and cheese, and juicy flavor-packed shrimp. Will definitely be going again and so glad it’s really close to home.

This place is by far better than any of the seafood boils in the Inland Empire, food was fresh I had snow crab & head on shrimp! The sauces are good and spicy if you like it HOT! Micheladas we’re tasty, good friendly service, nice and clean! I Definitely recommend and I’ll be back a lot. Only been open 8 months! Glad I found it!

We are fans of crawfish and we didn’t order anything that fancy, just their specialties: wings, crawfish, oyster and potato friesThe oyster was okay though not that fresh, but we ordered anyway cause they said it came in the morning. Give it a 4 star 🌟The wings smell like old wings, the smell is as bad as it can alter the seasoning, though the seasoning was very strong and too salty.The craw fish was the worst we ever had. Ordered 3lbs, and it looked like we only got 2lbs craw fish and 1 lb sauce, the crawfish was half broken and melted, some of them even had nasty smell. Seasoning was too bad, too too too salty.Sausage was ok, not as expected. Sweet potato fries was 2/5 star to a wow.Clearly, very disappointed. The only thing I can give it a 2 star is staffs, super friendly.So they should work on their sourcing and improve the seasoning.

Went there5.30.2022 The place was clean. Our server was very nice. We spent over 120.00. Ordered the KING SIZE CRAB LEGGS. We got small to medium crab legs. The sauce in bag was good but way to salty. The garlic noodles was spaghetti with garlic powder sprinkled on top. The scallops was the size of peas. Over priced no value for the money

Got shrimp, mussels and crawfish with the whole shebang sauce, all amazing. Cajun fries also very crispy and good with ranch. Soak the Texas toast in the sauce you wont regret it. Corn and potatoes are great too.

The food was so good!!! This is best restaurant experience I’ve had my whole life, between food and service. We will definitely be back!! Tell your friends and family! We got the Fried Calamari, Alfredo x2, Mardi Gras, Jambalaya pastas, and dessert, so good!! The atmosphere is excellent as well!! I would give my experience ten stars if I could.

The food was hot and fresh with decent sized portions. However, there was knats and flies inside (probably because the door was wide open). That was annoying trying to shoo flying bugs while eating. The appetizer corn option tasted amazing and the fried breaded fish filled was crispy, hot, and flakey. The wait staff was very attentive and hospitable.

Good food and good service. Would recommend to friends and family. Their “Whole Sha-bang” sauce is really tasty and goes well with pretty much everything on the menu. My go-to place for Cajun seafood!

Shrimp is ok. They charge an 18% tip charge for table of 8. We ordered chicken strips and they forgot to put in our order. Then we got chicken nuggets instead of chicken strips. Paid for the strips.
