Absolute 10/10 I was so excited to see a crawfish place in Bakersfield. Which of course was a little hesitant. But I can 100% say it was so good! Not only was the food phenomenal, our service was even better. The girl taking our order(I didn’t get her name) was so sweet and helpful. Working her butt off! A little rockstar at her job! Will definitely be back.

Highly recommended we tried the Captain Choice with medium spicy shrim, potatoes, corn, sausage was just on point, absolutely delicious The front counter guy that took our order was really nice and attentive. Go check them ou.

The food was delicious. The service was good. The corn was soft and juicy.
