My daughter came home for vacation and she's craving for Cajun seafood. Most of the seafood places that my kids know are in SJ. My daughter wanted to try this new place Cajun Crack'n in Milpitas. It's replaced the Black Angus restaurant that we used to go while the kids were little. How time flies and now it's a seafood restaurant.
It was a Monday after 6PM, we didn't have to wait inline. The restaurant is clean and decorated with 2 pirates as soon as we walked in the door. The kids missed their Black Angus but get used to the new environment now.
The young servers were quite pleasant and attentive. A simple 1 laminated sheet of menu with quite a few dishes on it.
I noticed right away the catfish basket, I love deep fried catfish since I've been in Alabama and tried it. So I knew what I wanted, the catfish and the Gumbo Soup that I like. I don't care much for the messy Cajun seafood that my wife and daughter are going to get. There are 2 combos, and they decided to get the big one, combo 2 for $90. My son wanted the chicken Cajun Fried Rice to be safe and will try some of the messy Cajun seafood. The garlic fries seemed to be tasty so we ordered one basket. For my fries that come with the basket, my daughter wanted to try the lemon pepper fries so I ordered that for her.
- Catfish basket and Gumbo Soup (with rice): For me this combo is perfect for a dinner. The price is reasonable. The catfish fried perfectly, crispy outside and juicy inside, the fries are great, a little sour for me but I had the garlic fries were wonderful. The Gumbo Soup is amazingly tasty, the portion with rice under is not to big nor small. I would order this next time I come.
- My son liked his Cajun Fried Rice, he ate it all in a heart beat, he also liked my catfish and the garlic fries too, not too crazy about the lemon pepper fries.
- My daughter and my wife keep complementing the seafood inside a big bag, dumped it on the big plates: snow crabs (1lb), crawfish (1lb), green mussels (1lb),. The sauce was so tasty, the house sauce. The apron and gloves are a must. I had some sausages and crab, the sauce is confirmed excellent. My daughter ordered some steam rice to eat with the sauce and it's perfect. The sauce is a little spicy, she finished her Shirley Temple so fast and started with ice water. We did finish everything, even the sauce LOL.
The damage was $183 which to us was reasonable with the amount of food and the quality of the food.
We'll definitely come back here again. My son doesn't remember the last place he went in SJ. We may try that place first.
