Cajun Crab Shack: Experience Flavorful Seafood in Thousand Oaks

At first I was unsure about a "Cajun Crab Shack" , southern style crab with a bit of a Mexican twist . My daughter had the crab legs, I had the carne asada street tacos and my wife the fajitas . We were all happily surprised . The food was spicy when we wanted it spicy and traditional when we asked for it . I would recommend giving this place a try . The service was very good .

Met with a friend for lunch today, and we tried Cajun Crab Shack in Thousand Oaks off of E Avenida De Los Arboles. I have a fondness for Cajun food, particularly for the style I call "Cajun boil" where all of your food is cooked at the same time so everything takes on a really rich depth of flavor. The best part, is it's generally eaten by hand, without utensils. Cajun Crab Shack delivered with delicious, flavorful seafood that was well cooked, seasoned, and reasonably priced. It's location in Thousand Oaks makes it an ideal spot for families looking for a new kind of place for a dinner out, and business types looking for a lunch spot that's a bit of a break from the local sandwich, burger, or salad spot. Though I do recommend you avoid it if you've got important face-to-face meetings immediately after ;). It gets messy, but that's part of the fun. In the end it is tasty, well prepared seafood, at a good price, with friendly service. I highly recommend trying it, and if you like it, recommend it to your friends.

Nice place. Food was good. Sat us at a table as soon as we walked in on a Saturday night....6 in our party. Was not busy at all. Friendly staff but a little slow on checking on us during the meal. No real complaints. Will come back...definitely.

While looking for a sea food boil place, we came across this place in TO. The inside was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Sea food boil, chicken nachos and fries were delicious. The waiter was nice and attentive. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

I love this place! The food is delicious and the staff are always so kind and attentive. I’m so happy we have a local Cajun place because the wait times in other towns are so long!

I went for the first time. LOVED IT. I'm a foodie and I hadn't even thought about writing a review when I took photos of some of the food we got.The Crab Shack House Mix Sauce is DELICIOUS. EXCELLENT service. Our server's name is Jonathan. He and his assistant (I never got his name) was very nice. I came with a big group. Jonathan double- checked with us to make sure he split our check correctly before running it. Everyone LOVED their food, even the kids. I'm glad I found a little seafood gem. I'm saving up to go again.

One of the best Cajun crab restaurant this side of Louisiana! Close to home and not as far as the Cajun Crab restaurant in Ventura, which I frequent also with my bestie buddy. We're both "regulars" and the waitresses don't have to ask us what we're having.

The "lunchbox" special is a great deal--$14.99 --for a huge pan of seafood, sausage, corn cob and potato. The House Blend spices at medium spicy was relatively mild and delicious. Fabio, the proprietor, is super friendly and attentive. Plenty of tables, never a wait to get seated. Great place.
