Reviews for Schmidt's House of Jambalaya in Crescent City, CA

Love the menu. We had the salad with blackened red snapper (very spicy!) and the shrimp po boy (very fresh and tasty). The bread... comes from a bakery in New Orleans and adds excellent flavor. The olive tapenade was delicious. Definitely worth ordering. Iloved the flavor of the jambalaya but wish it was more spicy. We were told they dialed it back a little to cater to more people.If I find myself back in Crescent City, we will absolutely visit again. Read more

This is hands down the best restaurant we've experienced in Crescent City! We tried the fritters, fries, Jambalaya and today's... special (blackened scallops and grits) and the food was absolutely delicious! Well cooked, well seasoned, and would give anyJambalaya ive ever had in California or Louisiana a run for its money! We are seriously impressed woth the chef here. We can'twait to go back and try more dishes on the menu. Plus the staff was super nice, just a really grateful experience overall!! Read more

What a surprise to find such great Cajun food in Crescent City. The Jambalaya has a nice spice, and the Fish and Chips were... delicious with fantastic house made tartar sauce. You must get the Boudin Balls for an appetizer, so good we wanted to orderanother plate. They also have an ice cream counter so save room for dessert. Read more

I had a wonderful visit at House of Jambalaya! Not only is their gluten free Jambalaya INCREDIBLE, they offer other gluten free... options and the most delicious cider I?ve ever tasted (honey from Humboldt). The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is cozy,and during their busy dinner service the owner stopped to talk with me about how this restaurant was her and her husband?sdream. They opened a few days before COVID shut businesses down and I am so thankful they made it through because these kindfolks are doing amazing things for their community. Support local business, pay them a visit! P.S. I got my order to go, so thepicture does not quite represent the presentation. Read more

Perfect outside seating overlooking the beach. The jambalaya was superb and that's coming from someone who lived in Louisiana... for a long time! Service was fast and friendly. Thank you! Read more

We finely made our way to Schmidt's House of Jambalaya. Well worth the wait. Vibrant yet relaxing atmosphere. The service is... excellent. The food came out hot and timely. I had the fish and chips. Maybe a little too greasy for me but still yummy. Thefries were awesome. My guy had the jambalaya and said it was pretty darn good. As a local, I will look forward to the nexttime. Read more

Our 1st time here & Schmidt's did not disappoint! Service was excellent, food was superb and of great value for the quality. I... highly recommend the shrimp bisque and the boudin balls! Po boy was excellent too! Read more

A group of us were traveling through on a motorcycle trip down the 101 and we stayed for a couple of days in Crescent City. We... toured the area and visited the Redwood Forest and went on a fishing trip. While we were there we went to Schmidt's House ofJambalaya. We are so glad we went. There was a group of seven of us and we ordered a variety of things including soup salad andshrimp and every single person at the table raved about how good their food was. One guy who was with us said it's the bestFrench Onion soup he's had in a long long time. The wait staff were excellent and attentive to detail. The food came out in areasonable time. The prices were not cheap but they were certainly fair for a tourist town and the quality of the food. Iincluded pictures of the shrimp, my sandwich, & a few other entrees. Definitely worth eating here if you are in the area! Don'tmiss it! Read more
