4.5 STARS Date: Tuesday, March 17th, 2026 Meal: Dinner Takeaway Time Placed: around 8pm Picked Up: about 20 mins Ordered Thru: their website C4 Combo ($91.95) - 1 lb Crawfish, 1lb Clams, 2 Corns, 2 Potatoes, 4 Sausages *Your Choice: Dungeness Crab *Your Choice: 1 lb Shrimp (head on) *Choice of Seasoning: Original Cajun (Popular Item) *Spice Level: On Fire XX *Note - Can I get the sausages on the side for my husband? I'm pescatarian. Sales tax - 8.375% ($7.70) I was craving seafood in a bag. When The hubby and I decided to stop in Fairfield to run some errands, I decided to give Bag O Crab a try. I placed my takeout order thru their site. You can tip online so no need to bring cash if you choose to tip for pickup orders. The order comes in a reusable bag. And they followed my note to put the sausages on the side. I thought the food was great. Good amount of heat. Tho for the spiciest level, I always want more. It wasn't quite spicy enough. Good flavor for their OG cajun. My craving was definitely satisfied. I tend to crave seafood in a bag quite often. However, it is pricey for a solo meal, so I try to only indulge every once in a while. Would come again for their c4 combo. REVIEW #4033 read more

Bag O' Crab - C4 Combo ($91.95) - Dungeness Crab, 1 lb Shrimp (head on)1 lb Crawfish, 1lb Clams, 2 Corns, 2 Potatoes, 4 Sausages, Original Cajun, On Fire - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfield, California

I've been coming here for the past couple of years w my parents & we've always enjoyed every meal we've gotten! The inside of the restaurant is really cute & spacious, we've always been lucky enough to sit in the booths. We came today & ordered combo #2 with atomic sauce with dynamite spice along with their garlic noodles. The food itself was jam packed with so much flavor, it was delicious! The dynamite spice is perfect if you're someone who enjoys spice. If you don't know already, they do make you pay immediately after ordering so be prepared for that! Our server was nice as well & made sure we were doing okay. The only issue that has happened during previous visits , is that our server would disappear completely & we'd be left with no refills & no help when needed. That's just one little thing this place needs to work on, but the food is fantastic! Always my favorite place to visit when I'm in fairfield read more

Don't come to this establishment poor customer service had to wait a hour for my food

The food was good until there's a freaking critter on my shrimp! The service is horrible and I would definitely not come here because i had to throw away ALL my food because there was also hair. The hygiene must be very horrible . read more

Bag O' Crab - Shrimp Head Off - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfield, California

This spot is SO good, get the garlic fries, Xtra crispy! Trust me, they are crispy outside and soft and !

I went with my husband and brother for dinner and ordered Cajun fries with lemon pepper seasoning, combo 1 with atomic medium sauce and an extra 1 lb of shrimp. Our server took our order first on an iPad and we paid before we ate. The Cajun fries with lemon pepper seasoning was seasoned perfectly. It had a kick of spice with citrusy flavor. For our combo 1, we chose 2 lbs of shrimp with head on, which also came with potatoes, corn, and sausages. We got an extra lb of shrimp with head on with a spicier level. We enjoyed our meal with rice. The rice was cooked a bit softer than I liked, but it was still good to soak up the sauce. There is a good amount of seating inside of the restaurant. It seems a bit smaller relative to the Vallejo location. There were some flies when we walked in and the ladies bathroom stank like there was a plumbing issue. Overall, food is delicious and well priced and ambiance can be improved. read more

Clam chowder soup lacked clams and did not taste good. Shrimp P boy was definitely not like the picture. It had four shrimp laying across the bun. Plus, the fact that you had to pay when you ordered at the table. Would definitely not go back. read more

My friend said she always wanted to try a seafood boil so we dined at this location. We arrived a little after 12pm on a Saturday and were the first ones there. The servers were nice and let us pick where we wanted to sit. Ordering was easy, she picked king crab with shrimp and I got the snow crab with shrimp. Both ordered with garlic butter sauce, mild. I'm not a big fan of sausages, so they let me swap it out for more corn. The food was delicious, but I feel like there was a bit too much garlic. The shrimp was big and juicy and the corn and potatoes were cooked to perfection. There was so much food that we both had leftovers to take home. The sign outside the building was a bit confusing. It has both Mel's Diner and Bag O' Crab on the same building. We walked into Mel's all confused. Make sure you pick the right door to enter if you're not familiar with the area. Also, you have to pay after you order. It's a little weird because I like to leave tip depending on how well my service was. It's understandable because I'm sure there's been people who walk out on the bill, I just found it to be a bit awkward. read more

Bag O' Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfield, California

Deal weekdays 2-5 is $24.99 for 1lb shrimps corn potatoes and sausage. Decided to go for garlic butter no spice as a sauce. Unfortunately it lacked a ton a flavor and I was disappointed. Found it odd they don't offer limes/lemons & salt and pepper like other seafood boil spots. Great deal but needs to match quality wise. read more

Food was good. The pay before you eat is a bit odd and off putting. I did not include a tip when I paid, instead planning a cash tip after. This must have been why Service was on the verge of being non existent. read more

Being that this is the only seafood boil place in Fairfield, it's not bad! My family and I have eaten here a couple times throughout the years and we like it a lot. It's always pretty clean in there and I have no complaints with the service. The only thing that is different than usual is that they have you pay and tip right after you order and before you get your food. I also wish they can put your seafood boil in a bowl or on a tray instead of a bag so it's easier to eat. I usually order a Combo #2, atomic flavor, and medium spice. We decided to try the garlic noodles this time and I thought it was good, pretty straightforward garlic noodle flavor. read more

We decided to check out this restaurant as we were leaving yesterday since the game was on. We came to visit Fairfield for an event and stayed at the Hilton located in the same parking lot as this restaurant. We were greeted when we walked in considering it was a little busy and There were only two people working the time to get seated and serviced was a bit extended, but nothing to complain about. I didn't do a mini preview of the restaurant on yelp and saw that on average it acquired 3.3 stars, I specifically did not look at what was the reviews that led to that type of rating. I wanted to give this place a fair shot on my own. I ordered garlic noodles and a six piece order of lemon pepper wings. I will say the garlic noodles are the best noodles I've tasted in a long time. My only complaint though is, I don't understand why you can't add on shrimp or another meat choice that is also listed as an add-on for other things. That didn't make any sense to me, but I didn't feel like arguing about it. I was still pleased with the noodles . The lemon pepper wings were cooked extra crispy as I requested however, I'm glad I do not have sodium issues because they were way over seasoned. I have to be honest about that. They were just OK. I think that should be a suggestion for the future to not over season fluid in general, but especially the wings. My friend ordered a bag of crab with the Louisiana flavor for seasoning. She seemed pleased and my other friend ordered a shrimp Poboy sandwich and she seemed pleased as well. I feel that when it comes to seating, considering it wasn't busy there should not have been a limitation on where people could sit since there were a great amount of tables that were empty. I noticed that from the patrons that came in after us who literally ended up sitting where we were, which was not a problem. This is a restaurant I would bring the family to on a random if I just so happen to be out in Fairfield, but most likely I will be doing a to go order if I do come back here for the garlic noodles only. I'm giving this restaurant four out of five stars because of the add-on issue regarding the shrimp only I feel that should be an option since it's an item that can be used as a side to a crab bag. read more

First time going here with my girlfriend's family. We got the 1 pound shrimp and clams with atomic medium spice. Great seasoning and little oily. Fresh seafood and perfect kick of spice. We also got the fried oysters basket. Fresh and perfect batter. Cajun fries is a 3/10 not enough Cajun seasoning and fries were a little soggy. We got the swai fish also, very fresh and tasty. Service was great. Got seated right away and water handed to us. Our server was so kind to walk us through the menu. They checked up on us multiple times and making sure we were doing great. Great lighting inside. Great place to go to for big parties or just a night out. Clean restaurant. read more

Bag O' Crab - swai Fried Fish Basket & Fried Oyster Basket - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfield, California

I've been here a few times, and was never disappointed until today. We had to pay in advance which never did before, but I guess I can thank the dine and ditch people for this new rule. First, the waiter/waitress' seem to not want to make eye contact. Our particular waitress seemed to have RBF the whole time. We were a party of three and one of us got their entree first, while we waited 20 minutes for our food. What really sucked was I already gave a tip and the food quality AND service has gone downhill since I was last here. This will be our last visit. There is a Bag o'Crab in Vacaville which we'll check out soon, hoping for a better experience. read more

The food is good, you pay first then you eat, the waitress objective was to charge for the food and then she just forgot about us the rest of the time we where there she didn't ven check up on us to se if we needed something else or just to ask how the food was, maybe because we didn't leave a tip? But as far as I know you work and earnd your tips.and like I said she never came back to our table to see if we needed anything else. read more

This place is a hit or miss but man today the flavor was the best I ever had at a bag o Crab only think I have to add that needs to be addressed is the employees. They are not attentive the service sucks tbh they would rather be on there phones than to ask us if you need anything you have to always get up and ask them for yourself. read more

I've been to this location a few times over the past five years, and it usually tasted good to me. But this month when I got my usual order of shrimp with Cajun sauce and medium spice level, it did not taste good. The sauce was super thick, like gravy texture, and it was clumpy. The clam chowder wasn't good to me either. The service is good. Employees are friendly and we've never had to wait long for our food. read more

The cooks. Food was disgusting. Shrimp like tire rubber; the fish was hard, greasy, and overcooked; fries were hard and old tasting. I spent over $70 on this order and was just very displaced with the quality of the food. I cannot believe they even allowed it to leave the kitchen. I called I was told the manager was in a meeting. So I drove up to the store to be told that the manager was still in the meeting. Then another gentleman came out I'm assuming it was one of the cooks who said the manager was not there. He then questioned where was the shrimp since I told him the shrimp was like rubber, so I dug in the bag and pulled everything out to show that the food was all there with the exception of the few pieces we ate. My stomach still hurts. They offered to recook it, but honestly with the lack of empathy for the fact that I had to drive my food back up here and the fact that they lied about the manager not being available I declined. Then come to find out they would not refund because it was doordashed. read more

1st time trying this place on a slow Tuesday afternoon. Walked in and there was only 1 table occupied. Got seated right away. Like someone said, expect to pay directly after ordering! Lots of garlic in the sauce but it also seemed "watered down" like it needed more actual seasoning. As for the food and portion, it was freshly made and decent enough. I was happy for the side of lemon wedges which I squeezed into the Salt and pepper container for happy dipping. Also used the gloves and wet wipe provided. I did not bother with the bibb. The tables are covered with a butcher paper type thing and there was ample napkins. I agree with others about the service because after I got my drink and food, they never came around to check on me and I actually had to walk up to them to get a bag to take my leftovers home. Will I go there again? I might try other locations 1st. read more

Food is good but service needs improvement. I ordered my food through Doordash, When I first walk in, I asked the man at the counter if my order was ready and stared my name, he said no not yet. There was a bag ready to go already and I assumed he knew what name was on that order so I didn't question him. I waited for awhile watching the shows they had on, there was at least 4 screens with different things playing, one was sports and one was ion tv, I forgot what the other was. Anyways, some time passed as I waited, another bag came out of the kitchen and the girl underhand tossed it across to the table. Wtheck? So unprofessional, I thought that was my bag so I came up stating my name again, this time the guy was just on his phone and the girl checked, My bag was on the counter the whollllleeee time !!! It was the bag that was already sitting on the counter! Like serious !! How annoying. Sauce was great though. Place was empty, maybe two tables were taken. I didn't once see any of the servers check on their customers. I got the shrimp with head on, medium heat, delicious. Parking was easy. Next to Mel's diner. I probably won't dine here. But I'll order out again or maybe drive to the one in Vacaville. read more

I hate to resort to writing a bad review here, but have tried since November to receive follow up on our meal! We ordered 3 lobster dinners and then our waiter came back and said she'd have to check availability! Then told only 2 lobsters were available & had us pay up front! Then, she returned again and said the 2 lobsters were dead and spoiled! Offered 2 lobster tails instead. We had never been here before, so had no idea the meal would be jumbled in a bag-would be nice if wait staff would ask if we'd been here previously. Then, asked for a knife to take corn off the cob (I have braces) and offered a crab cracker to perform this task! The lobster tails were rubbery and before we could complain, noticed our waiter slinking out the front door never to return! We would never have tipped up front! Asked about bread from counter staff, who were on their phone, and had to explain our experience so far to not be charged more! Took 15 minutes-we had finished our meal, but bread was the best part of it! Considering we spent $200, we would never return again! Tried to contact corporate and actually had a Facebook chat with someone who was to follow up and then silence! Called your store who told me they would follow up and didn't. Told to email corporate without even wanting to hear my issue and no response! Wow! read more

After reluctantly reminding us that there is an 18% automatic charge on parties of 6+ after this was made apparent to us by the hostess, the male server with brown hair tied back, took our order. We ordered a combo 1 with "On Fire" spiciness. After reconfirming with us 3 times with 3 different people saying "On Fire" spiciness, he put the order in just for it to come out with "No Spice" 15min later. When we brought this up to him, he proceeded to tell us "you ordered no spice, that's what I heard," raising his voice in disbelief. Not only did he dismiss what we were telling him, he exclaimed "no spice, that's what I heard,!" He raised his voice further. We then reiterated we said ON FIRE and didn't say anything different. He then exclaimed louder, "I CHECKE D THREE TIMES, BUT THE THIRD TIME YOU SAID NO SPICE!?!" I took the receipt and showed him exactly what was on the ticket THAT HE INPUTTED which explicitly said "COMBO 1...ON FIRE" It could have been a simple interaction if he had just read the receipt that HE printed out from the POS system. Let me reiterate, he chose to prove the customer wrong, when he IN FACT caused the PROBLEM. Very unprofessional even if he might have been a new server. He proceeded to take the receipt back, and didn't even give it back to us after sorting out the mishap with his supervisor. Luckily the food came back correct after an additional 10-12min. It comes down to basic human decency to double check if you made a mistake before trying to argue that someone else, especially the customer, was at fault. read more

Beware. They make you pay for your food at time of ordering even though it's table side service! Tip and all. That completely caught us off guard. Never had to pay ahead of time at their other locations.. We were still waiting for our food after 30 minutes. Waitress kept passing our table up. When we inquired, she was like "you guys didn't get your food yet?!" Waited another 10 minutes. Had to literally go to kitchen and inquire about our food. Another surprised "you didn't get your food yet?!" Got it 5 min later. Bag of shrimp was oily. Hugely disappointed. Never again. Save your money, folks. read more

3.5 stars. I've been coming here since this location opened and so this is an overdue review, haha. When this opened I was glad I don't have to drive all the way to SJ or Sac. After the pandemic hit, the service was pretty lacking. The last last time I came, you would order from the front and pay first. Then they would bring out your food. When I went yesterday they now implemented a QR code ordering system from 39miles and now you can order and pay directly from your phone. Service is okay, the last few times they haven't been very attentive. The food has been relatively consistent, the shrimp is usually cooked perfectly and I usually get the spiciest option. Although in the past when I've ordered the lemon pepper wings it's been a hit or miss. It's been either too salty or under seasoned. Overall, not a bad place to satisfy your cajun shrimp cravings. read more

Finally, there is a bag of crab place where I don't need to take out a loan to eat. I ordered the head off shrimp with potatoes and corn on the cob. It was about $20.

These are not the kind of restaurant where you can eat with manners. Just put on the included bib and go for it. I will be back anytime I'm in town. read more

The food was mediocre. Service sucked and for $210 it just wasn't worth it. First they made us pay in advance only to get our orders wrong then you served can sodas no refills. No one came to check on us it was poor quality of service. I do not recommend at all. The seasoning was all butter and no taste. Epic fail read more

I've had Bag O' Crab in other locations and this one was the worst. I got a C1 order to go and it was cold after a 10 minute drive. Most of the food wasn't even on the sauce just sitting on it and was not flavored at all. I think for the amount of money you spend, the food should be up to part. read more

***Be prepared to pay the bill immediately after you order, if you are dining in. The food came out fast enough, but was very obviously thrown into the bag with no further thought.... The roux was extremely hot and overcooked my shrimp before it was cool enough to eat; it also didn't incorporate well, so the seafood had no flavor, although my friends did enjoy their mussels. All 4 of us agreed that the meal was bland, overall, and that we'd have to take our leftovers home and fix them up. As for the service, it was below average. Our server forgot to bring us seasoning when we requested it, so we had to ask twice. His energy was not great, in general. I've been a server and know how rough it can be, but good service is good service, whether you're smiling or not. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend, and don't plan to come back. I have also heard that the Vallejo location is not good, so - proceed with caution. read more

I've frequented this location several times, but usually for pick up. I can say that pick up orders have always been prepared accurately and ready on time. I really like that they text you when your order is ready as well rather than having to go in and check. If you're getting one of the sea food bags, they double bag them so the greasy sauce doesn't get on everything. My group of 4 decided to dine in last night. They only had a couple other tables filled, so we were seated right away. The waitress was really nice but after we ordered she told us it's their policy to make all customers prepay. We asked when they started this policy and she said because of Covid but not sure how that even relates. I have never prepaid for a pick up order, so why do customers dining in have to prepay? We weren't mad at the waitress.. she's doing her job and she doesn't make the rules, but it was a bit annoying. I prefer not to tip in advance as I do believe tips should be earned, however, she more than earned her tip. Everything we asked for, we got right away and she didn't nickle and dime us for extra ranch or lemons. She was on it with the water refills too which is always a major plus! FOOD: Get the lemon pepper wings and garlic fries and then thank me later! These might be my fav thing on the menu - if we're not talking seafood. The wings are battered but it's a thin crunchy batter that is seasoned to perfection. My pet peeve is when lemon pepper wings aren't lemony but these do the name justice. For some extra zest, squeeze a little more lemon on the wings then dip them in ranch. Garlic fries will get your breath hot and garlicky but it's so worth it. Their fries come out HOT and they top this with hellaaa garlic. They only give one cup of ketchup when they should really give 2 but that's okay. You can customize your bag or do one of their combos for more bang for your buck if you want more than one type of seafood. I only get the shrimp here in Atomic Sauce so can't speak for any other flavor. ,I've had the range of spice levels from Medium, Dynamite and On Fire, and I'd probably stick with Dynamite. Medium isn't spicy enough, but On Fire is a little spicier than I'd like for my meal. The heat sneaks up on you, especially since the shrimp comes out super hot. I felt like there was a little bitterness to the On Fire sauce as well that I never taste with the other two spice levels, so not sure if that's the usual because of the added spiciness or what. I love love love to squeeze lemons into my sauce bag because the acidity cuts through all that butter! I really wish they gave big bowls to pour your boil out into like other places, but it's workable. Seafood is sold by pound only. They do not do half pounds, (we asked!). They have a list of add ons for your bag like potatoes, sausage, and boiled egg. Side Note- This location only gives plastic to go bags. Other locations I've visited have given reusable tote bags that are super cute and handy to reuse. Also, they do not automatically include condiments (ketchup, ranch) if you order to go so make sure you ask. They do provide gloves, bibs, and hand wipes to keep things clean if you're dining in. read more

We usually order Togo, the inside to this location is a lot smaller than Vallejo. However over all they are good place for sea boil. The only thing I didn't like is that I place an order online in advance and when I came to pick up they didn't know where my order was because the front receptionist never sent the order to the cooks. So I had to wait additional time. Luckily I was just going home but after a long day I just wanted to go straight home read more
