    Combo For 2
    Steven H.

    Ordered the combo for 2. Good food, good atmosphere, and friendly service. First time visiting and will definitely be returning.

    combo for two
    Celine D.

    my friend and i stopped by after seeing the resturant on grand opening back a while ago - the interior was decorated nicely and smelled like seafood (as expected haha) - we ordered the combo for two (4.3/5). we picked two shrimps for our classic seafood with mild spicy and the grab-a-crab house sauce. for our classic appetizers, we got fries (regular & cajun) and cajun chowder. we also asked for lemon, salt, and pepper on the side. the whole meal was very filling as it was indeed enough for the both of us. however, it was a bit on the salty side as we continued eating the seafood but it wasn't really noticeable on the saltiness in the beginning. - we got two tokens to use on their crane machine to exchange for free food..however we didnt win anything but it was a fun little thing that this resturant had. - the service was fast and the workers assisted us with our needs overall, this was a nice seafood boil place to try out

    Came on a tuesday and they gave is 4 tokens for a party of 6 for the claw machine. Sadly we didnt win any plush but we were close. Ordered 2 lbs of crawfish, combo for 2 with onion rings and upgraded calamari and popcorn chicken. My friend decided on getting the membership which was 10.99 or 11.99 and you get 2 lbs of seafood, appetizer, and 5% cashback. Her kid wanted the snowcrab so tuesday was the best day because it was 14.99/ cluster. This only happens on your first membership purchase, otherwise it will just be their daily specials. I ordered rice but it was really dry. I didnt like that they brought it out first and since it was busy, it took about 20 minutes for our boil to come out. By that time my rice was kind of cold but since i mixed it with sauce, it was bearable. The crawfish was also frozen. Sauce needs more garlic but i guess to some this amount would be perfect. Limes were cut soo small you had to squeeze 10+ to fill your salt and pepper cup. They give you a clamp and scissors to cut the snow crab so thats a plus. No alcohol yet but i was told they would have it im a month. Will have to check after March or april. Service was great, my water was refilled multiple times.

    This location of Grab A Crab is in Monterey Park in the Atlantic Time Square. There is parking in the underground structure. My boyfriend and I have been fans of Grab A Crab since we've been to their location in Hacienda Heights so I was happy to try this new location. For those who have not been to Grab A Crab, they are a cajun boil restaurant. A fun attraction they have are their crane games where each table gets tokens and you can win ingredients for your boil. This location is smaller than their Hacienda Heights location but it seems less busy. They have a Yelp Waitlist you can hop on if you come during a busy time. We came here with my boyfriend's friends, so there was a total of 4 of us. It made sense to get their Combo for 4 ($79.95) which comes with 4 Classic Seafood, 4 Classic Appetizers, 4 pieces of sausages, 2 potatoes, 2 pieces of corn and 2 eggs. We added 2 corns ($1.75/each). For the classic seafood we picked 2 lbs of shrimp, 1 lb of crawfish, and 1lb of snow crab legs, which there was an upgrade for. And for the appetizers we picked the fries, onion rings, gumbo and chicken tenders, which was also an upgrade ($3.50). We actually added another lb of shrimp ($11.99/lb) after we finished the first order. We all enjoyed the food for the most part. Their shrimps were big and juicy. The crawfish were decent for not being in season. We did observe a few things like less garlic in the sauce. As for the sides, the chicken tenders were surprisingly good. The fries and onion rings were average. Too heavy for me to eat too much of it, but good for the boys to fill up. Service at this location seems to be lacking. Missing items like the salt, peppers, limes, sauces for appetizers, multiple follow ups. Keep having to waive them down for things. It's funny that this location is less busy but less on top of things compared to their Hacienda Height location. Great spot for a Cajun boil, especially when you don't want to wait. Their combos used to be a lot better but they've split them into classic and premium items, and a lot of the items we used to get are now premium and requires upgrade. Nevertheless I can see us coming back.

    I am glad that Atlantic Times Square is somewhat reviving. This is one of the newest establishments that I have been meaning to try. My wife and I shared a combo for 2. We got mussels and shrimp, cajun chowder, sweet potato fries and onion rings as our side. Everything tasted fresh and I did not get explosive diarrhea afterwards unlike at boiling crab. Service was great. The only negative is that they did not have draft beer although it was on the menu.

    I find myself going to grab a crab more often than any other seafood boil place now! My friends and I absolutely love their combos for 2 or 4 since they come with sides for a great price! The service has also been amazing. Not to mention, the claw machines are such a great touch to the brand! The chowder is such an underrated item there, and I recommend that as part of the combo! It does get busy at certain times but there's a yelp waitlist, and its also in the atlantic time square so you can walk around while you wait.

    Food is good . . Even though it has been loosing its touch . Came here about a week and half ago & it didn't hit like usual , we always ask for it slightly undercook to avoid the mushy & it was so mushy . My girl loved her but I told her I didn't hit for me . The wings are not the same for when we first grabbed them . The second time was different & the 3rd time they were very disappointing . I have a picture when we first ordered the wings and they look so tasty and appetizing. This last time they looked as if they were old wings . . . We also tried to dine in prior to the time when the wings were terrible & we arrived to the front door at 9:25 they told us . We can't dine in no more . So we somewhat understood . And today we arrived at 9:17and we were denied tables again due to slow business. When we were told last table sit down is 9:30 Very disappointed we drive 35 min to get here knowing we would make it on time . But nope . They also denied dine in service to another couple . I get it times can be slow . But you had 2 customers ready to spend . Sucks that this was our go to , cus it might not be anymore . So much for the new business location to thrive . ( hangry ) mind you this may be very irrelevant but b.s aside I'm on 5 days water only fasting . I kid you not I was going here just to break my fast and eat delicious . Maybe next time I guess . Even though I work from 7 am to 10 pm and I be getting out of work just to come here and make it on time . Lolol . So sad I had to come express myself here

    We randomly discovered this place and honestly can't believe how good the deals are. Everything was already reasonably priced, but the specials took it to another level. They normally have a combo deal for two people (around $46) that includes 2 pounds of seafood (shrimp, clams, etc.), sausage, potatoes, corn, two sides, and a fried item. We were planning to do the 2-lb shrimp combo, but when we came in on a Tuesday evening, they had even better offers. We got 5% cash back on the entire bill and snow crab legs for $14.99 per pound, which is an incredible deal. On top of that, we signed up for their membership ($10.99/year), and it immediately paid for itself we got 2 pounds of shrimp for free (1 lb for signing up + 300 bonus points). Total no-brainer. The shrimp quality was great, huge size shrimps and fresh.. The sauce was really good as well. Minor note: everything is served in a large cylinder-style plate, so the sauce pools at the bottom and you have to dig a bit to get it (similar to a bag at Boiling Crab). Not a dealbreaker, just something to note. Huge shoutout to our server Ahrian!! incredibly kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations. Service alone made the experience even better. The ambience was fantastic: vibrant colors, fun wall decor, lots of TVs, and a lively atmosphere. When we walked in, they even gave us two free coins for the claw machine, which was such a cute touch. If you win, you get a free meal, which is such a fun incentive. One important note: while the food is amazing, this is not a place I'd consider safe for toddlers. We have two-year-old twins and came for date night (without them), and after seeing the setup, we wouldn't bring them here at this age. Also, if you're someone who sucks the sauce off shrimp heads like I do...be careful. I ended up poking the inside of my mouth because the shells were very sharp and bled a little. Overall, we had an amazing experience! food, service, deals, and atmosphere were all on point. We're already members now and will 100% be coming back

    What a wonderful experience! Grab A Crab in Atlantic Times Square across from the Marriott was great taste for great value. It was empty at open at 12 on a Saturday. To start, each table gets two tokens to try out the claw machine for a fun start to the dining experience. We ordered the Combo for 2 which includes 2 classic seafoods, 3 classic apps, 4 sausages, 2 potatoes, and 1 corn, and added a pound more of shrimp for our party of three for about $70. There wasn't enough sauce originally, but they kindly provided us more at no cost- and that sauce is good! It's flavorful, thick, and garlicky. The shrimp is the star of the show, and the mussels were nice to try but not worth a repeat. The lemon pepper and Cajun fries were both good options as well.

    Everything here was super tasty! We got the sauce that was a combination of all three sauces, and I highly recommend. The combo pots were also very good value. Service was quick and efficient. The funnest part of the experience was that each table gets two coins to play their crane machine. You can keep the plushy if you're able to grab it, or you can exchange it for free items on the menu. Super fun and great value, tasty food. Highly recommend!

    Yummy food, great service, fun ambiance . The meal for 2 option is a great deal ! We got the deveined shrimp with 3 sides and had plenty leftover to take home ! Great experience everytime

    Alex Y.

    I really really enjoyed this place actually! I went with a group of four and got the combo with 4 seafood and 4 appetizers, and it was more than enough food for all of us! Plus such a good deal. We went on a Saturday around 6pm, and luckily we got seated immediately. Hooray! Lucky us. The restaurant didn't seem too busy. It gave me nautical vibes and the vibes of any seafood boil place -- well lit and it a nice plaza. Free parking. It was good! The food itself was good. I feel like all the seafood felt on the smaller side but maybe not much is in season? We got the house sauce medium, but it wasn't that spicy. Could've gone a spice level up! They didn't have alcohol yet but it's coming soon, so I'll be back for sure :)

    Came here the other night with a friend and the place was pretty busy but the service was good. We ordered the combo for two with shrimp and mussels in the house special spicy sauce. For sides we got Cajun fries, fried oysters, and fried fish. The seafood came out fresh and loaded with sauce. The shrimp were nice and big and cooked perfectly with no sogginess. The mussels were on the smaller side but packed with flavor. The sauce was good but a little salty, and the spicy level definitely had a kick. Next time I'd probably go medium. Everything tasted great, including the potatoes, corn, and sausage. You should definitely get a bowl of rice to soak up all that sauce. The Cajun fries were good, the fried fish was excellent and probably my favorite fried item, and the oysters were just okay. They also have a membership you can sign up for to get some perks. You even get a coin to play the claw machine and try to win food or plushies, which is pretty cool. I'd definitely come back again.

Luckily, while out in LA in close proximity to Chinatown, the husband was reminded of Little Jewel. There was no question where we were headed next. We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in and handed some menus. We were told to take our time, which was needed since everything sounded so good and the husband kept changing his mind on what to order. We finally settled on the Spicy Creole Jambalaya, Craw Mac Deluxe and The Crabster. It all came out hot, fresh and so satisfyingly delicious! The spice level was perfect. Portions were generous. We had initially planned on having beignets but did not have any more room -- even the dessert pocket was full! The atmosphere is very relaxed. They have several tables in the main dining area and the bar section. Orders are placed and picked up at the front counter. Everyone is super friendly. Parking can get a tricky in Chinatown. There are several flat rate lots if you're planning on spending some time. Metered parking is best for short term visits if you can find it -- we paid $4.30 for an hour.

    Came here to check their hours. Im going to a show in town in a few weeks and am…read morechecking around for where we will eat before. I love this place. The Catfish Poboy is so good. But their hours are horrible. Closed at 3;30. !!!?!!Every time I go to DTLA I drive by and they are closed. I didn't even think they were still in business. They used to be open till 10 pm.

    I just want to say the man behind the counter is SO FRIENDLY and welcoming. He makes me want to…read morecome back just for him. The place is quite small, only two 2-person table inside and a lot of tables outside. It's in a small plaza next to Starbucks. - Sea men's combo 5/5 He accidentally gave us 2 lobster tails and gave us 1 snow crab too. The service is SUPERB. The everything sauce is on the garlicky side and we got the (highest) level of spicy. It wasn't too spicy for me but my friend was dying. The seafood definitely tastes fresh. I prefer the snow legs here vs boiling crab. Free parking in small lot.

    Ever since I suffered through two different bouts of food poisoning from The Boiling Crab, I've…read morebeen really shy about trying cajun/creole seafood boils. I was craving it last night and decided to take a chance. I ordered 1/2 pound of shrimp with the heads on, 1/2 pound of clams, 2 nobs of sweet corn and 3 pieces of red potatoes. I specifically asked for just spicy and no butter (to see if they were paying attention). I got exactly what I asked for and delivery was quick. Luckily, I have plastic gloves at home because it looked wonderfully messy. The spice level was definitely on pointe; very Asian level spicy (which is what I prefer). The only problem I had was that the shrimp are not deveined and/or left in clean water in order to empty their digestive tract. Kind of a bit unappetizing; I can put up with some but there was just too much and the shrimp was kind of mushy. It's sad because shrimp is my favorite. I took a picture of what I'm talking about. I hope they improve on this.
