Our Story

Sharing a family tradition since day one

Stephen Robichaux grew up immersed in Cajun culture. His father is from Thibodaux, Louisiana, and Stephen attended his first crawfish boil before he was even a year old. He does everything today exactly the same way his family did it over 35 years ago.

That love for authentic Cajun cuisine is why Cajun Boil Co. does one thing and one thing only — the best crawfish and shrimp boil you've ever had, brought to you in St. Louis.

Tips & Advice

How much do I need?

Not all St. Louis crowds eat the same. The biggest factor in choosing your sack size isn't headcount — it's how your crowd eats. Here's how to think about it.
🦞

The Crawfish Crowd

Experienced eaters who know the drill and will work through a pile with enthusiasm. Plan for bigger portions per head.

Recommended boil size

Up to 12 guests
1 sack
13–25 guests
2 sacks
26–40 guests
3 sacks
Plan for roughly 3 lbs of live crawfish per experienced eater. They'll thank you for the extra.
🤝

The Mixed Crowd

A good mix of crawfish fans and curious newcomers. Some will dive in headfirst, others will ease into it. Everyone finds their rhythm.

Recommended boil size

Up to 20 guests
1 sack
21–40 guests
2 sacks
41–60 guests
3 sacks
Plan for roughly 1.5–2 lbs per person. The veterans will carry the weight and the newcomers will surprise you once they get going.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Families & First-Timers

Beginner-level crowds where some will get the hang of it more than others. A smaller sack goes a longer way than you might expect.

Recommended boil size

Up to 30 guests
1 sack
31–70 guests
2 sacks
71–100 guests
3 sacks
Plan for roughly 1 lb per person. Some will surprise you and eat more than expected — the sides will carry everyone through the rest of the meal.
Stephen's Tips
Get the most out of your boil
A few things I've learned after 15 years of boiling in St. Louis — especially for delivery orders.
Delivery Tip 01

Keep it in the cooler

Your food arrives in brand new insulated coolers — and those coolers are your best friend. Don't open them until your guests are ready to eat. The longer the lid stays closed, the hotter your food stays. A well-sealed cooler will keep everything steaming hot for 60–90 minutes after delivery.

Delivery Tip 02

Serve in batches for the full experience

Want to recreate the on-site boil aesthetic? Don't dump everything out at once. Instead, pour out a portion onto butcher paper or a newspaper-covered table, let people dig in, then bring out the next batch. It keeps the food hotter longer and creates that authentic Louisiana boil energy.

General Tip 03

Know your spice before you ask for more

Our standard spice level is tuned to the St. Louis palate — flavorful and bold without being overwhelming. If you want to kick it up to a more authentic Louisiana level, just know that the sides absorb heat fast and can get very spicy very quickly.

Our recommendation: request increased spice on the crawfish only, and keep the sides at standard. You get the full Louisiana experience on the crawfish without setting your guests on fire. That said — if you want full spice on everything, you're our kind of Cajun and we are more than happy to oblige.

General Tip 04

The sides are your secret weapon

Every single time, the sides are what win over the crawfish novices and the kids. They soak up the seasoning and become something special in their own right — irresistible even to the most hesitant guests. If you've got a crowd heavy on first-timers or young ones, don't underestimate how far a good spread of sides will go. Consider ordering extra.

  • Add artichokes — they soak up seasoning better than anything
  • Pineapple in a boil sounds strange — it tastes incredible
  • When in doubt, order more sides than you think you need

"We loved our first crawfish boil so much, we turned it into an annual event. We look forward to it each year. Stephen is very easy to work with and takes care of everything."
Dave W.
★★★★★
"HUGE fresh head-on shrimp, everyone was so impressed. We originally planned on him boiling on site but switched to delivery last minute due to rain — 20% cheaper and he was so flexible. We even made Cajun pasta the next night with leftovers. Can't recommend this company enough."
Sarah M.
★★★★★
"Stephen and his wife Erin put on a wonderful event for our work outing. The crawfish and shrimp were amazing, the spices were fantastic — not to mention the pineapple, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, corn, sausage... SO GOOD!"
Kelly G.
★★★★★
"We have a bar in downtown STL and hired Stephen for our Mardi Gras festivities. Pricing was straightforward and transparent, they took care of everything. The boil was awesome — plan to do it again soon."
Brandon H.
★★★★★
"Great party food at Tower Grove Park. We've been to several types of boils over the years, but the spices used by Cajun Boil Co. were awesome. If you like some kick in your Cajun — book this for your next party."
