This place was pretty good. The place was clean quiet. The employees were very nice and pleasant to talk to. The door was slightly over salted, yet still enjoyable. It was very good just the shrimp you could tell was over cooked.

I'm from Orange County but I come to Thousand Oaks VERY OFTEN to visit relatives attending CalLu. One of my favorite restaurants around CalLutheran is Cajun Crab Shack. The food is flavorful, colorful and plentiful. The restaurant has a bar, but my favorite drink is the unsweetened iced tea. The restaurant is spacious, plenty of room for large parties. They also have a patio area for those that enjoy eating outside. The service is always accurate and timely, the only pet peeve I have about this place, is that so far, I have never experienced a smile from the staff, everyone is always serious making the experience less welcoming. We are a people first industry, therefore there is nothing more personal that a connection that comes from a genuine smile.

Let me start by saying I love seafood boil. My wife and go at least twice a month to various spots in the area! A few things first the service was slightly above average, nothing amazing but definitely not close to the worst. You get a lot of food for what is a reasonable price! And they offer fully peeled shrimp for those who don't like getting their hands too dirty or working too hard for the food. With a lot of space and a lot of TVs they'll put on any game you're trying to watch. Best seafood boil close to Thousand Oaks!

Me and my fiancé just moved down the street & we have been coming here consistently! Highly recommend the naked shrimp, with the house blend. I'm obsessed with their Cajun fries and cannot get enough of their coleslaw! And to say the least, customer service is on point! Will be coming back!

#4 Clams Ahoy & Carne Asada Fries were split between four of us with rice each! The Yelp reviews did not lie - the butter garlic sauce was excellent. A heads up - looks like the white rice is also buttered. We all felt content with our food and didn't fill us up too much. My group of five really enjoyed our time at the Crab Shack - we went on a Sunday at 12 PM and didn't have to wait to be seated. Though there was a bit of a wait for our food but might have been because there was one big group in front of us. I'd come again but would probably try a 1lb of shrimp with a different sauce. Because there was so much butter, it did leave my stomach a bit upset.

The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor comfortable seating with paper covered tables to eat on like a real crab boil. The restaurant had tons of seafood options with also non seafood options. Their popular dish is the combo 1 which includes snow crab, fried shrimp, boiled shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn. They give you options on seasoning and spice level which is a nice touch. The seafood was very tasty but the medium spice was more like hot spice. So beware if you don't like spice. They offer beer and wine. Beer or white wine are great with the seafood. Service was fine. Prices are kind of high. Be aware that the restaurant does not carry ice cream as promised to Yelpers who check in. I had the check in coupon but they had no ice cream or no substitute. We spent $150 for 3 people. It was overall very good seafood with slightly elevated prices.
