To start, our waitress was really friendly and welcoming. She introduced their promotions at the time and their personal favorites. We had 2 lbs of shrimp with corn and sausage with “the bucket medley” flavor medium spicy. I love spicy food and the medium is true to the name. It had just enough kick. We also had the garlic noodles which were amazing. Overall we enjoyed our meal. I’m excited to have found a quality Cajun spot to satisfy that craving when it hits.

5 stars across the board. Service was spectacular! Not only Mitha (our server) was amazing but the entire staff were very attentive. Whatever was needed, they had you covered. Crab legs were FRESH and cooked perfectly. When bending you got the pop and none of that soggy/ripping stuff. Garlic noodles were flavorful, so good. If you get the chance, try the bucket toast. My personal fav 3 BC&C was amazing! I struggle with trying to find a restaurant where the heat level “hot/spicy” is actually hot but here, it’s just that! The heat was there but it was also enjoyable. Not overwhelming to where you couldn’t enjoy the food.

If seafood is your jam, you found the place in Rancho. The fried catfish with Cajun fries and bucket toast are bomb to start with. We opted for the combo #2 with the lobster and the mild bucket medley. Great combination of flavors with just a tiny hint of spice, and I mean tiny, so if you don't like really spicy food, you're safe!

Food is delicious, perfect seasoning! The medium isn’t too hot, which I personally like. I tried the fried catfish and Cajun fries. Decent portion for a great price! Also tried the garlic noodles today, I would definitely order this again. Thanks for the friendly atmosphere, would definitely recommend for family and friends! Thanks Eddy for the friendly service!

The service was amazing. Very attentive and care whilst dining. I never felt that I needed to wait to ask for something. The pound of shrimp, bucket medley, medium spice was a perfect combination of flavor and spice. It also came out steaming hot which was excellent. Cajun fries were also delicious. Perhaps, the best spot in the IE for cajun style food, check it out!

To say that I am happy that they are now closer to us is an understatement. Their new location is fresh and modern, but their food is just as classically delicious! Quality seafood, Cajun flavors so authentic and amazing, with service that is consistently efficient and friendly, all these will keep us coming back. There's much to be said about the nostalgia of their little shack in Ontario with its graffiti-decorated walls. We will probably still go there, but when the craving hits badly, it's good to know this new place is a stone's throw away from our home. I sincerely welcome them to the neighborhood!

Had a great lunch with my husband. He had the catfish & cajun fries & a Strawberry lemonade. I had the original cajun shrimp with sweet potato fries & a side shrimp taco. We topped it off with the fried cheesecake, which was super tasty! Our waitress Dami & the rest of the staff were very attentive & the all the food was super delish!

Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and got seated immediately. Both service and food is great! We got the shrimp and crawfish and the sauce is to die for - a lot better than similar places as there was more thick sauce and less oil. Great experience and will be returning!
