Wow , I was expecting average and was pleasantly wrong , their 1 pound of crab is twice the size of red lobster , the snow crab was huge , now it's not that hot but , the flavor is fantastic

Food is alright, although the price of the crab legs is too much. The sauce is delicious. One of the best experience I've had eating seafoods. The servers were very attentive. Place is huge too so they can accommodate large group.

The food is good but little small and college feel to the setup. I got the lunch bowl. It had a cut up potato a corn on the cob some plain Ramen and medium shrimp that has the flavor. The potato and the corn on the cob were also flavored. It was OK I don't think it was worth $15 unless they include the drink. Ambiance is really cool you feel like you're in a club. Music is top-notch so that was really fun to have the early 2000s not 80s music or something else. It was really a cool vibe. Would be a fun date place or somewhere to go out. Hopefully they turn it into a night spot and utilize the bar. Decor was really cool. I think it's a good spot! Friendly staff made the experience great! A young girl with curly hair and Clarissa (?). Very nice and FAST service. That alone would earn repeat business in this area!!

Nice playlist music played thru clean and new ! So happy a boil spot is more local ! I will definitely be here again ! It's your typical boil prices so please don't come here expecting to pay any lower than anywhere else it's seafood and it's always high priced at the moment The flavor was good and spice level was actually correct which is important to me lol Service good , food good , place clean I will be back

700th review HAD to be EPIC, so here it is... 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 for The Cajun Trap, which is where it's at!! A foodie friend of mine happened to catch me at the perfect time to try this place out. We'd been planning on coming and finally had a chance to see what the hype is about. Well... the hype is most definitely REAL, folks!! Cassy was our super sweet and very attentive server. She answered all of our questions and checked on us often to make sure we had everything we needed. We dined on a Saturday for a late lunch, and it was the perfect time, as they weren't busy at all. The place is roomy with spacious booths and nice sized round tables. You get bibs, gloves and nut crackers for the crab legs. They even have a bar, but they aren't currently serving alcohol because they still need to get their license (the only reason I deducted half a star =/ ). The food was pure perfection, from the first look to the last bite. Y'all know I don't do spicy, but their Trap Sauce is on point!! I tasted it, and it did have a good kick to it. Our food was bathed in the sauce without spice, but you can definitely add it if you're love a good heat level. My friend asked for a side with the spice, and Cassy was happy to accommodate. We started off with the Cajun Fries as our appetizer (I was starving, and this was the perfect antidote). They give a really good size serving of it, and the spice blend they use on them is legit!! We then ordered the 1.5 lb. Special Trap where you choose a combo of seafood totaling 1.5 lbs plus 3 sides. We picked crab legs, mussels, and shrimp, along with corn, potatoes, and sausage for the sides. We also ordered the Mojarras (wet version). Yummmm!! I highly recommend this place if you love cajun and seafood!! I hope they get that liquor license soon because a michelada would have made the experience even better! Don't sleep on this one, you gotta go!! :)
