Crab feed located at Christopher Ranch, http://www.yelp.com/biz/christopher-a-and-d-ranch-gilroy#hrid:0ZXVbUA0J_WQKLwKZqyaSw/src:self seating in 4 barns, signage is poor on the location but once you find it, parking and the feeding is well organized. Noticed many police at the entrance of the ranch.
The wine, bread, salad water replenishers are on the ball, crab refills can get slow, at least in barn 2 where we were located. You need to shout out and make a lot of noise to get the most attention to get refills on the cioppino crabs. The sauce is good. Saw some hard core crab people bring extra stuff like crab implements, crackers, scissors, mallets, lemon, pasta for the cioppino sauce, appetizers, desserts, baby wipes.
We arrived at 6pm since we were lost for 30 minutes, line to get in was around 20 minutes, a garlic bread girl passed out bread to the people in line. Many were mad because of the poor signage and directions while waiting in line but soon turned into better humor when the line moved to get in. There was plenty of food. Was very well run for such a big event. Cleanup started around 8:30pm in barn 2 and dancing and the bar was open in Barn 1.
Was quite fun, definately go with a crowd of fun friends because the diners are loud and raucous. Seating is family style, so you get to know your neighbors when you spew crab and cioppino juice on them. Where washable clothing. Gets chilly at night with the barn doors opens, bring a sweatshirt...yes it is a barn, they do leave the doors open! read more
