Our second time to this place but first time at this location & from my understanding, they are separate owners. My bf & I originally got there & were going to order 1lb of shrimp each with our extra add ons but our server was able to recommend Combo A which would've been the same price & have the same thing with an extra choice of another protein so we took it! It was enough for both of us to share (3lbs) & was so delicious & we ended up saving money! We went with the mild option but they happily provided us a good amount of the spicy sauce for my bf. Oh & their mango margarita was the perfect drink to cool off your mouth! Will for sure be back to this location & so grateful for such a good experience.

I didn't get any photos of their delicious seafoood boil but I love this place ! My favorite seafood boil in the area. So much flavor, so many delicious options. The parking lot is small, you might have to park across the street but it's worth it ! Something to keep in mind: Their mild was kind of spicy but I loved it. Tipping isn't an option here, they will automatically add 20% to the tab. Music was rap/hiphop themed, no complaints from me.

This place is one of my favorite places to go to. We go so often the waitress knows who we are. They always got good music, quick service, and amazing food! We always get a pound of shrimp, pound of mussels, corn, potato's, and sausage. We had friends with us this time around and got the crawfish with snow crab legs. Spice levels and flavor is so bomb!! Try this place out! It's worth it!

Rockin Crawfish Oakland is the OG boil spot in the east bay. Been coming here since they opened and I put everyone I know on! Drinks are on point. The apps are really good. Seafood is always fresh and the serving size does not disappoint. Service is amazing, staff are always super nice. Don't be surprised if you have to wait in line.

Happy with this place for the tasty food, good service, and great value! I was a bit apprehensive about this once given the conflicting reviews but I highly recommend coming here for the seafood boil! We got 1.5 lb of shrimp, with corn, sausage, and egg for 3 people along with one rice and one Cajun fries. This was more than enough food for us! We could have been satisfied with 1lb and more sides. We probably had 8-10 shrimp each. We got the Rockin Crawfish combo flavor which is pretty solid, wish there was more sauce for all the meat and rice. Medium wasn't flavored enough but not spicy if you are used to spice. I'd get medium or spicy next time. Cajun fries are also tasty but not as Cajun flavored as I thought. I dipped the fries in the sauce from the broil and it was DELISH! Ask for a bowl for the bag of fish. The interior decorations is a bit shabby but spacious. The music inside was a great mix of throw backs I enjoyed. Our server was attentive and nice. 15% tip automatically applied on the check.

Had a good time during our recent visit! We did not get crawfish as the season was supposedly over, but we got lots of other goodies: Dungeness crab, king crab legs, shrimps, corns, and potatoes. The flavor of the sauce was excellent, and definitely something I would come back for. The seafood was all fresh and well cooked, and the service was good even though pretty minimum (perfectly fine with us). One thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was that as we tried to dump out the seafood from the bag onto the table lined with butcher paper, a male staff member walked by and gave a disapproving grin. We were not otherwise given any instruction as to how we should take the seafood boil out of the bag, and it seemed pretty intuitive to us as the table was covered and we did not receive utensils. We made sure to clean up after ourselves but this little interaction obvious made us feel very awkward and unwelcome. The food made up for it and we hope our next experience is equally or more fun.
