Always drove by this place and finally a chance to try it out. It is metered street parking. The restaurant is pretty much self-serve everything. You order first at the register then they will seat you. When we got there, there was a line and waitlist. We only had to wait about 15 minutes on a Saturday, which wasn't bad. After ordering, it took about 15-20 minutes until our food came out. They have a self-serve table at the entrance. Here you can find water, sauces, bibs, plates, napkins, utensils, and togo boxes. Most tables do have a sauces rack. People who order Togo can grab everything they need here. They do have gloves but the waiter has to bring it. They do not have any crab crackers...

This is hands down the best seafood boil I've ever tasted! **Overall Ratings:** - **Food (Flavor and Presentation): 28/30** - **Service: 18/20** - **Price: 13/20** **Micro Ratings:** - **Location: 7/10** - **Interior Design: 5/10** - **Cleanliness: 8/10** **Conclusion:** This seafood boil is truly outstanding! It’s probably just as enjoyable solo, but I highly recommend sharing the experience with at least one other person or in a group. The seafood platters are incredibly flavorful—like the sound of an Asian mom's sandal hitting the ground on a sweltering summer day! I've been here multiple times, and each visit has been just as fantastic as the last, allowing me to take home leftovers...

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time since discovering seafood boils and was absolutely disappointed. Surprisingly, they were open on Memorial Day and it wasn't too packed. The overall interior was clean, bright, and welcoming. But gave off high-school cafeteria vibes. We placed an ordered for a fried shrimp basket and also a seafood boil. The fried shrimp basket came quickly and was actually quite flavorful. I would rate it a 4/5. When the seafood boil came and they opened the bag, all I could smell was garlic. There was so much garlic it was practically not edible. Each bite was filled with chunks of garlic. It was excessive and overpowering. You couldn't taste anything else...

The cleanliness of the restaurant was impressive, and the server was attentive, but unfortunately, the food didn’t meet my expectations at all. I inquired whether the food was cooked in a boil bag, but it was not, indicating that the seasoning was simply added afterward. I ordered king crab and lobster, and it was disappointing. I frequently enjoy these dishes at various restaurants, and I’m well aware of the proper taste and standard portion size. What I received was definitely less than a pound and was overcooked. My lobster was also overcooked, which was particularly frustrating, as overcooking lobster results in rubbery meat that clings to the shell. Considering what I spent, I was very... Book a table now

I'm from California, and I eagerly awaited four months to dine at King Cajun. The wait was absolutely worth it! Everything was delicious, served hot, and cooked to perfection. This was my first time trying soft shell crab, and all I can say is OMG! As you can see from one of the missing crab legs, I couldn't resist starting my meal before snapping a photo. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly, and I truly appreciate a clean environment. Without a doubt, this is the best seafood crab boil I've ever experienced! I plan to eat at King Cajun regularly. Parking is also great, with plenty of options available.

This place is awesome! We got 1 lbs of crawfish, extra spicy with the king cajun seasoning(my favorite) and then the other one was the $22 plater. Honestly it is top notch seafood boil in minnesota!! the inside was clean and they have everything you need to get down! Although street parking was limited you will have to park in the neighborhoods and walk. No reservations unless more than 5 people as well. Place is nice, friendly, and helpful !

I have to say, this is one of the best dining experiences I've had at any restaurant! The staff was incredibly attentive, respectful, and professional. To top it off, the Cajun food was the best our family has ever tasted. It was absolutely worth it! Thank you for having us! ๑•᎑•๑ We ordered the special combo!
