Came here for dinner with my husband we both got the combo c seafood boil bag (snow crab and shrimp) I got medium heat level and it was so good it was just the right amount of spicy and so flavorful I thought the broccoli and eggs were a great touch. My husband got the mild boil and liked it just wished he would have gotten the medium for the extra spice. That being said the mild level is perfect for people who don’t like spicy food. Also tried the fried fish it was super good and flavorful. Also got Beignets for dessert they were fresh and yummy. Great service and I will be back 100% this is the best seafood boil I’ve had in north Georgia

After shopping at Lakeshore Mall, we felt quite hungry and were craving seafood, so we decided to have dinner at Cajun Seafood Co, located across from the mall. When we arrived, the restaurant was busy, but we received a warm welcome. I went straight to the washroom, which left a good first impression as it was clean and well-stocked. We ordered Mango Habanero Wings as an appetizer, along with Combo C (snow crab and shrimp) and 2 lbs of crawfish (medium heat), served with corn, potatoes, broccoli, and egg. I also ordered an extra 5 oz of the amazing house Cajun sauce, perfect for dipping the seafood. Our food arrived quickly and was incredibly fresh and delicious. Whether it was due to skipping lunch or simply the quality of the food—or maybe a mix of both—we savored every bite and finished our meal swiftly. Overall, we were very impressed with both the food and the service at Cajun Seafood Co. Highly recommended !!!!

I totally have to share my fave spot for Cajun seafood and wings in Hall County! ⭐⭐ First off, it's a self-serve vibe, so no awkward tipping pressure, but the employee is super friendly and always checks in on us. When my husband and I dine in, they bring the food right to our table. Now, let’s talk about the food. The seafood is super fresh and jumbo- sized. You can taste it from the first bite! I’m obsessed with the fried seafood sampler that comes with homemade tartar and cocktail sauce. And don’t even get me started on the garlic butter noodles—they’re a perfect match with the fried goodness! My partner is all about the Cajun and lemon pepper wings. They're big and juicy, nothing like those tiny ones at other places! Parking? Super easy! Getting in and out from Dawsonville Hwy is a breeze. Oh, and they do catering for events! That's how I discovered this gem. A coworker ordered seafood boil for a party, and I was instantly hooked! If you're in the area, definitely check it out! You won't regret it!

My family recently traveled to Northeast Georgia and wanted seafood boil so we tried out Cajun Seafood Co. Their house cajun sauce was the best we’ve ever tasted, so we even bought two extra containers to take home! There were six of us so the staff recommended a seafood boil party tray, which included juicy, fresh snow crabs, shrimp, mussels, and crawfish. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavor of the seafood boil was amazingg!! My mom really loved the fried fish with tartar dipping sauce. So so crispy on the outside and tender and moist inside. We also had a box of fried shrimp, which were huge and delicious. Their prices were surprisingly reasonable. We left feeling full and very happy!

I had to share how awesome this place is! I ordered takeout, and when I got home, the seafood boil was still steaming hot. I really liked how they packed everything— all the sauce was safely secured in the bag with the seafood. Instead of just dipping, I used a spoon to drizzle all that Cajun sauce over my seafood, and it was amazing! Their snow crab and crawfish boil totally impressed me— 100/10 . Oh, and the fresh Peach Tea? So good! I grabbed one while waiting for my order and ended up getting another one, lol. I’ll definitely be back!
