    So freakin yummy! restaurant is small but big enough to sit parties of 7+. Service is nice, young adults in a casual seafood boil restaurant not crazy. Our waitress was nice. My boyfriend and I got combo #2 comes w/ corn, potatoes, sausage, shrimp, and good amount of crab legs that actually have crab meat! It was so good. Their Cajun wings are a must, the best Cajun wings we've ever had honestly!

    Saturday afternoon, we decided to come try Bag O Crab. To my surprise there was a waiting list and people waiting to be seated. We waited around 20 mins and I got the best seat in the house. Right in front of the TV where they were playing the Japanese baseball game with my favorite players Ohtani and Yamamoto. Our order came in a decent time, they do provide gloves so that you don't get your hands dirty. My husband ordered their King crab leg special and I ordered a pound of shrimp. I do got to say a pound is a lot of shrimp for just myself.

    Cajun dynamite, so good!

    Food: we ordered combo #2, dynamite heat, cajun: Shrimp, crab legs, sausage potatoes, corn. We ordered extra sausage & a hard boiled egg, side of rice and drinks. Service: Professional Vibe: Casual Price: $52 for combo #2, plenty for 2 people. Drinks & extra sausage & egg, totalled: $69 without tip Noteworthy: It's going to get messy, they give you gloves and bibs, so dress accordingly, not your favorite light pants or shirts lol So worth it, super delicious

    Driving home to Orange County and my cousin said she wanted crab. This place popped up and we decided to give it a try. We got the pound of shrimp, and pound of snow crab. It can with corn and sausage. We added ramen noodles and garlic bread. We got the atomic sauce which was delicious and super garlicky. Medium spice is more like a medium hot. Everything was delicious, was enough for 2 hungry girls with some left over. Go here you went be disappointed! Service was great. A robot delivered our meal.,

    Love having a local Cajun seafood boil spot in Escondido so I don't have to drive far! I placed a pickup order to bring a "snack" over to my parents' house and got Combo #3, which features a Dungeness crab, a pound of shrimp, corn, sausage, and potatoes. I tried the Atomic sauce at a mild level; it was still a bit spicy and slightly oily, but definitely tolerable. The crab was a little dry, but the flavors were good. The real MVP side was the Cajun fries.. perfectly crisp and delicious. Still highly recommend checking them out!

    We ordered combo #1 which allowed you to choose 2lbs of multiple items (1lb eacb) and 2 corns, 2pc of potatoes, and 4pc of sausage. We decided on 1lb of shrimp (head on) and 1lb of clams and went with their atomic sauce which includes their original Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, and garlic butter. Omg! It was so delicious! The combined flavors went together great, just enough spice, garlic, and lemony flavor. The staff was attentive which I appreciated very much. The restaurant is clean and had really cool decor hanging lobster, crabs on the walls, etc). Will I be back? Definitely! I'll like to try the octopus as it is something you don't see too often in Cajun seafood boil restaurants. One last note, there is plenty of parking which is a plus!

    The evening, we came in was really slow, there was 2 tables seated, and we were not greeted and sort of looked around a bit before we were told to sit anywhere. We asked for some recommendations as we had not been here before and went with the suggestions, ordered shrimp/crab/crawfish. The place was really clean, which is great since it is a pretty new business. The food itself came decently quick, we were not really checked on while we dined, and overall, the food itself was not particularly great. The Corn had some pieces that were perfect, and some very mushy. The Crab tasted pretty decent, the shrimp and the crawfish tasted a bit dirty. I have had plenty of crawfish in my life and I do enjoy them, these just were not great.

    I was craving crab so I decided to give this new spot a try. The restaurant has cute decor and is spacious. There was no wait for a table when we came on a Friday night for dinner. We started with the cajun fries. They came out hot and fresh. They were also very flavorful. I liked that the fries were slightly crispy on the outside. My husband and I shared the #2 combo. It came with 1 pound of snow crab, 1 pound of shrimp, 2 corns, 2 potatoes, and 4 sausage slices. Everything tasted delicious and it was the perfect amount of food for us to share.

    Combo #2

    My friends kept going to this spot over and over and they invited me to check it out the next time I was in the area. We went there on a Sunday around noon time. There were some people in there eating already, but we did not have to wait for a table. Inside decor was pretty cute, it sort of reminded me of a seafood/sports bar vibe. Staff came up to us and was very attentive throughout the entire dining experience. My immediate family was not able to come with me so I ordered a bunch of food to bring home. Items I ordered: 1.Combo 2: 1 lb snow crabs, 1lb shrimp, 2 corns, 2 potatoes, 4 sausage slices. (added extra potatoes and hard boiled eggs) ($45+) (chose garlic Butter for seasoning and mild spiciness) I did enjoy this but for the price, I did not love it. The boiled egg, sausage and potatoes were the best part. (also the shrimp dipped in the sauce was not too bad) You can order with head on or off.If you want them completely peeled I think it's $2 more. 3/5 (taking off 1 whole point just for food received for price) 2.Garlic Noodles- These were very soft noodles, reminding me of Udon but smaller and round. These were super garlicky with a good amount of sauciness. They were pretty tasty, but not sure if these noodles should be the kind used for this dish. I would like them to be not as soft as well. 4/5 3. Fried Shrimp with Garlic fries- The shrimp are fairly large at this place. These shrimp were deep fried well and came out piping out. They needed a tiny bit of salt but these were my favorite out of the whole meal. The garlic fries were good as well, they did not skimp one bit on the garlic. 5/5 The fun thing about this place is that the food is delivered by a robot. The staff was super attentive and got us everything we needed. Would I come here again? Possibly if I was in the area. I think the food comes out fresh/hot and fast, the staff is great and we did not have to wait at all to be seated. I think I might crave this from time to time. If you get garlic butter as the seasoning, just know you will be getting an insane amount of garlic. Garlic fans will rejoice. Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Food: 3.8/5

    Perfectly seasoned seafood with my daughter! Best in North County. Service was exceptional and fast

    Combo 1

    Was excited about trying this place, but weren't wowed by it. We went the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving. It was empty. Instead of having excellent service we just had mediocre service. We ordered a combo 1 and a combo 2 so had a chance to taste several items to include crawfish, mussels, clams, shrimp (head off), snow crab, potatoes, sausage and corn on the cob. We also ordered some hard boiled eggs on the side. We chose all the sauces mixed for both bags, then one on with medium spice, one with just a tiny bit of spice. Service was quick. The order with snow crab came out in a tin pan; the other order came out in a big plastic bag. It would have been hard to serve ourselves from that and a big mess. We had to ask for it to be dumped in a metal bowl. Both of the sauces were exactly the same, both on the spicy side, almost a little too spicy for those that wanted very little spice. We were a party of 6, sharing everything. They also did not provide anything to put our shells in. We had to request another pan. Just not much attention to detail. I wasn't impressed with the sausage. It didn't have that nice "snap" when I bit into it. All of the seafood tasted pretty bland. I'm not sure if it's because it was cooked separately and the sauce was poured on top or maybe it wasn't thawed before it was cooked. The sauce seemed kind of grainy and seemed to separate the longer we sat. The shrimp were the best thing that we ate. Sorry to say, but I prefer Surfing Crab.

    There was a 2 hour wait at Boiling Crab so we came here to Bag O Crab and there was no wait and the seafood boil was as good or better. We'll be back.

    I think this is definitely the go-to spot for crabs. We had the dungeness crab combo, atomic sauce, with on fire xx spice level. It had a good kick to it without being overbearing, though I do have a high spice tolerance, so your mileage may vary. Sauce also had a flavorful garlic touch that compliments the crab well and also does wonders for the potatoes and sausages. The atmosphere and decorations were nice. Had the chance to talk with the owners, and they were very down to earth people! The wall art was done by them and I think details like this goes a long way in showing that they care a lot. And I think they succeeded in creating an atmosphere that is welcoming, and is a place where you go with your buds to eat good food and have a good time. That's what it's all about man. Oh and their Oysters + fried Oysters are to die for

    Andouille Sausage, cluster of snow crab legs, boiled eggs, side of noodles,  corn, and potatoes. It was so good!!!!!!!

    We came here after seeing that Boiling Crab in San Marcos was a 2+ hour wait. Definitely worth driving 15 minutes out and really good!

    They have a cute robot that brings out your food. The service is good but the seasoning in the seafood boil was not that great.

    I visited the buffet twice this month- mostly because I didn't have enough time to try more items…read morethe first time. The wait is LONG! Be prepared to wait an hour at least. The selection is good- they have sushi but I don't recommend it. They also have a surf and turf that comes with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Good deal. I liked the variety of drinks and desserts. I recommend grabbing a hot chocolate on your way out. This place is only worth it if you can eat ! I liked the portion sizes because they allow you to rey more things. You can only order 4 items at a time and that's great because the table space is not much & really? How much food do you need at once. For dessert I recommend some ice cream or cheesecake. I say go at least once and carve time to be in line and 2 hours for dinner.

    The food and the variety here is why this place gets four stars, but the service completely drags…read morethe entire experience down. First off, note that this isn't a traditional self-serve buffet. You have to order everything through a server, and you're capped at ordering 4 items at a time. The Highlights: Great Variety: Solid selection across both entrees and the desserts. The Standouts: Lobster tails, crab legs, and beef tenderloin. The crab legs were awesome, sweet and surprisingly not overly salty like most casino buffets. Pro-Tip: Skip the prime rib and go straight for the beef tenderloin. The Lowlights: The service was pretty atrocious. Getting food brought to the table was a battle, we dealt with forgotten items, servers disappearing for long stretches, and an overall persistent feeling of being rushed. Great food can only save a place so much when the actual dining experience is a constant headache. Hard to recommend until they fix the service.
