First time here . I've always heard great things about C Fresh just that it's expensive. The service was fast and great, however I was the only customer . I ordered the fish and chips. I enjoyed the fries they were well seasoned . However , I did not like the fish at all. Not sure what fish they gave me but it didn't taste like normal fish and chips. So $17 for good fries -wouldn't say I'll be back ...

My husband and I went to Claw Daddy first, but due to not being able to park, we ended up looking for another place. Now, we were pressed for time and needed to find another place fast. So, we ended up at C Fresh. We were greeted with a warm smile, and the server seated us quickly, giving us time to look at the menu. My husband and I are from LA and enjoy Boiling Crab and Hot and Juicy, so we were hoping C Fresh would be just as good. We ordered a shrimp po'boy to share, and I got a snow crab boil with medium heat and "the works." My husband got crawfish and sausages with mild heat and "the works," and we also got Cajun fries and pink lemonades. The food came out hot, which I appreciated. The seasoning was decent, but I would prefer hotter heat because the medium heat didn't have a kick to it. The fries were good. My husband enjoyed his crawfish and said the heat was just right for him because he doesn't like things super spicy. The shrimp po'boy was just okay. Overall, I enjoyed dining in. The service was good, and the food was decent. We will definitely come back again.

My kids were craving boiling crab and we were in town for a soccer tournament. I found this restaurant and everything was amazing! We tried there chicken chow mein, Cajun fries, and there shrimp and snow crab boil the best! I would highly recommend!! The place was very clean, great customer service!!

I have only tried the Shrimp/Clam Strip Po Boy and it was absolutely amazing. The creamy sauce had such a great complementary flavor and wasn't overpowering for the texture of the fried shrimp. I saw that they have a very extensive menu featuring a fusion of Thai and Creole dishes. It isn't anywhere near me or anywhere I normally go, but it is definitely worth the trip. Also, it seems smaller from the outside because it is in a little strip mall where the Maya Theater is, but it is very spacious inside with both booths and tables.

Food was very good. Oddly we ordered a seafood boil for takeout. They gave it to us in a plastic bag. I asked if they had bowls because we were staying at a hotel and had no kitchen supplies. They didn't have anything other than disposable plates. We ended up using the Styrofoam containers from other dishes as bowls. Good but difficult as takeout.

This place looks small from the outside, but once you walk in there's lots of room and tables. I had called in a few days ago to make sure we got a table for 9 at 5pm on a Saturday. They have 4-6 tvs so you can watch while you wait. We had Cajun fries with a mixed bag of shrimp, (no head or tails), king crab legs, and a lobster tail. They give you potatoes with it but you have to order corn and sausage as extra. We ordered it with the works (all the sauces l), and med heat which had a kick! All of it was really good. The only thing was that the lobster was over cooked. Wanted to say the service was great! They started to get busy as we were leaving and he was waiting on everyone. Great job! We use to go to the one on Union, but the last time we all went, it wasn't as good. So we decided to try this place and they will be our go to for boil in a bag.

Very good food by Maya theater. Fish nice and crispy very filling. Spicy chicken sandwich was really really spicy in a very good way .. ever good with Cajun fries ! Would go back!!!!!!
Robert M.
Really good and have a lot of options. Very welcoming staff. The shrimp boil I got was very good also. They offer gloves and an apron but be prepared to get messy!
Michaela S.
Definitely worth it, sauce was flavorful with plenty of sauce in the bag to dip your shrimp or seafood of choice in. Cajun fries are amazing some of the best I tried, and of course the service was great. The place looks great plenty of space in between tables and very clean nice selection of desserts nearby.

Went to this place for the first time yesterday, and will not s be returning. To say we were disappointed with the experience would be a huge understatement. My husband and I were in the mood for some fresh oysters, so we searched online and this place came up. After looking at the menu, we decided to give it a try. We arrived around 2:30 on Saturday afternoon. It was clean and casual, and smelled great, but beside one other party, it was empty. We soon saw why. There was only one person working the front, seemed to be the manager/owner. Told us to grab menus and sit wherever, then covered our table with clean paper. Cool. Got drinks, right away, and he took our order. First off, they don't offer ANY appetizers except for fresh oysters. No side salads, no calamari, shrimp cocktail, fried clams, no soups, nada. If you want any of these, you have to get a full dinner size which all start at around $16 for fried seafood (WITHOUT fries, which are an additional $3) and $15 for soups. We ordered a half dozen oysters, (which they said they didn't have), an oyster po' boy, and a fish-wich, both with fries. A full dinner salad was $9, and I didn't want that much since I was already getting a sandwich and fries. I asked if they had any side salads and he said no. So now no oysters, no appetizers. Bad start. Ambiance is non existent. No music playing, and 2 TVs on with no sound or closed captions. We should have left then, but we decided to just stay and give the food a try. Bad choice. After waiting at least 20 minutes with no food or vibes (it does NOT take that long to prepare fried seafood like this) the $18 oyster platter came and our jaws dropped, but not in a good way. There were six (6) TINY, fried to hell (to the point of being almost burnt) oysters in a red basket of Cajun fries (pic below), with some kind of sauce that was definitely NOT cocktail sauce it was red but tasted like bbq sauce mixed with sweet and sour sauce. It was not tasty. The tiny pieces of fried oyster did not taste fresh. My fish-wich came on a metal tray with fries and was at least a decent size. The fish was cooked ok, but overbattered, so combined with the "brioche" bun (that was obviously store bought, not fresh) the whole sandwich was super dry and flavorless. With the exception of a tiny slice of pickle and tiny slather of tartar sauce, there were no toppings, so I asked for extra tartar sauce to dip it in. I ended up only eating half and gave the other half to my husband since he basically only got a basket of fries instead of an oyster "platter". My fries were too salty, so I didn't eat them. The owner(s) should be ashamed. We spent $40 for an appetizer sized oyster basket, a super dry fish sandwich, a diet coke, and still left hungry and unsatisfied. We would have been better off going almost ANYWHERE else for the amount money we spent in relation to what we got. I can't speak to the value of the seaafood boils or curries, because we weren't willing to chance it, but I'm glad we didn't spend MORE in here). Long John Silver's would have been a better value, and I'm not exaggerating. The drinks are also unimpressive and overpriced for what you're getting. Will not be back here again, Don't waste your time.

The best seafood place i've been in Bakersfield. Food is fresh and taste delicious. The service is great and awesome.

I love this particular restaurant, because I love seafoods. It's far from my residence but it's worth going there. And that is because they have very tasty and delicious seafood menu and Cajun, Creole cuisine and it's worth the visit. Their price is competitive with other seafoods restaurants. Great service from service staff. It has subtle interior. Clean and neat. I would recommend this seafood's restaurant to everyone.

Stopped by after a movie with my son. I had the Fish and chips he had the Gumbo. He thoroughly enjoyed the gumbo and I tried it and it was delicious. My Fish and chips were delicious and crunchy and the portions were huge. The service was excellent and the place is very quaint "fish market like" I will definitely be back for a shrimp bag.
