This is our second time coming here as a family and it really doesn't disappoint. The staff is really friendly ( Vanessa was nice and thoughtful with my kids). The food always tastes fresh and they serve your food extremely fast. Really enjoy it and I truly believe it's better than the boiling crab!!! The ambiance is also really good. It's full but not crowded where you're overwhelmed with the noise. It's just right! read more

I know most crawfish spots use frozen seafood, but it was especially obvious here. About half of my crawfish were mushy, which was really disappointing. The sauce was just okay, too, and that's usually the highlight of a good seafood boil. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back for the seafood. That said, 5/5 stars for our server! She was wonderful, and the service was definitely the highlight of our visit. Awesome happy drink deals. We got a pitcher of beer for 50% off!! I don't know about management though --- Got some undercooked fried coconut shrimp and they just cooked it more but a whole piece was wasted. read more

This is the least expensive seafood boil place ever! It has great prices, a decent selection of seafood, and the claw machine! So every patron that comes in gets a coin to drop into their claw machine for a chance to win food, hence the name "Grab A Crab". I have yet to win anything, but I will keep going back and spend my money there until I win. I will not give up! Besides that, the flavor here is very aromatic. A few things they do well include giving you full access to gloves and bibs, pouring your seafood boil from the hot bag into a tray for easy access, and serving with a not so oily sauce. That last one is a huge! However, there are a few things they can work on. One of the employees there is extremely forgetful. You'll ask her to check on your rice or to get salt, pepper, and lime and she'll just never come back to your table. This has happened more than once! Also, their spiciness level is sometimes inconsistent. Aside from that, the environment is lively! All the other employees are always nice and attentive to our party. read more

Not a single shrimp left on our bowl Had to take a chowder home , one of the best clam chowder I've had . read more

ORDER cajun fries (3.5/5) small portion, but crispy. not my favorite place for cajun fries. crawfish w/ house sauce (3/5) shrimp w/ cajun sauce (3.5/5) the crawfish was lacking flavor and sauce. i combined it with the cajun sauce, which was better. overall, the sauce was mediocre at best. my biggest complaint is the temperature. the seafood was lukewarm, which made it hard to enjoy. SERVICE the servers checked up on us a lot and the food came out quick. AMBIANCE free parking, spacious restaurant, no wait on a weekend read more

Came to LA for a girls trip and we were really craving seafood, so we stopped by Grab A Crab. Not only was the food amazing, but it was SO affordable for how much we got! We ordered the Combo for Four, which came with four seafood options, four appetizers, sausage, potatoes, corn, and eggs. We got our seafood with the Grab A Crab House Sauce, and for our appetizers we chose garlic bread, fries, mozzarella sticks, and calamari. Everything was SO bomb! The staff were also so fun and made the experience even better. They have a claw machine where you get a little coin to test your luck, and we actually won a little crab plushie Such a cute touch! Good seafood, great portions, affordable prices, and a fun experience. I would definitely come back! read more

The first time I heard about Grab A Crab was at a Yelp event. I didn't get a chance to drop by their booth, but it was lively and crab plushie was cute. I was at Atlantic Times Square in Monterey Park. I saw them there so here I am trying them out. Free parking with no time limits at the square. Arrived here for late dinner. Not too many people at the time. Ambiance was nice with good inside space. Staff was welcoming, cordial, and helpful. Menu offers Combos for 2 or 4, Seafood Lovers' Combo, Build Your Own (BYO) Seafood Boil, appetizers, sides, and drinks. They even have a kid's menu. I love seafood so I opted for Combo for 2 for $49.99. I picked 1 lb of head on shrimp and 1 cluster of snow crab legs (extra cost) for my seafood choices and 3 appetizers (seafood chowder, garlic bread, sweet potato fries). Combo also came with 4 sausages, 2 potatoes, and 1 corn. I got one complimentary bib. Gloves and napkins were in a dispenser at my disposable. I got 1 coin to try for a free plushie that could be traded for a pound of seafood. I kept the coin as a souvenir. Here's my take on the combo... Some head on shrimps with shell were mushy which was a disappointment because shrimp is my favorite seafood. They also varied in size... some smaller than others. I understand it goes by pound, but I would have preferred all my shrimps to be similar sizes. Snow crab legs had empty gaps inside the shell in other words not much meat. I also didn't get a full set of cluster which was a bummer because I paid an extra $4 for it. They gave me other parts to compensate for the last leg. Size of cluster was a bit small. Won't get this upgrade again. Delicious seafood chowder was creamy with perfect seasoning. Amazing garlic bread was toasted and buttered nicely. Sweet potato fries tasted sweet and not oily. As for the sausages, potatoes, and corn, they were fresh and great adds. Seafood boil sauce was rich and buttery, but just a tad salty. I appreciate the robust blend of spices along with garlic and onion were emphasized at every bite though. All in all, combo was okay and experience was fun, but not sure if it was worth the price. I also got one peach lemonade... unfortunately, it had a weird taste to it... won't get again. Will I be back? Maybe... only if their seafood are more meatier. read more

Probably my best restaurant find this year! I was really blown away by Grab a Crab when it came to flavor, quality and portions. We'd been to Boiling Crab multiple times, but the sauce tends to be overwhelmingly loaded with sodium. After trying Grab a Crab, we loved how it wasn't as salty and the seafood quality was also so much better. We got the Combo for 2, and we thought this was perfect for us when it came to value. For the sides we got Cajun fries, chicharron and garlic bread. Overall, we enjoyed everything we got - I don't think there was a single thing I don't dislike. But I was especially really impressed by the chicharron. Based on a lot of recent reviews they did not serve alcohol for a while, but when we went they had it! read more

Come here often and love the food!! Me and my family loved how they give tray to dump seafood boil into but for some reason they took them away and took the napkin holders and gloves off the tables and for these changes I'm sadly giving them a 4 stars read more

I've been to all three Grabber Crab locations, and this one is by far the best! We come here a few times a month, and this is the only location that consistently delivers great food and even better service. Today, our server, Adrian, paid close attention to our order and continued to check on us throughout our dining experience to make sure we had everything we needed. Adrian even remembered the little details and special requests we made with our order, which really stood out to us. Out of all three locations, we will continue to drive to this one, even though it's farther away than the others. The excellent food and outstanding service make it well worth the extra drive! Highly recommend this location! read more

First time here and came to celebrate my 45th birthday. Reservations were easy to make for party of 10. They even allowed me to bring in my birthday cake beforehand and they stored it for me for a couple of hours and provided plates and forks when it was time to eat. The service and food was great. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Ordered through DoorDash and, unfortunately, this one was a bit of a letdown. The presentation and packaging were on point, but the flavors just didn't deliver. The gumbo was surprisingly bland and didn't really taste like a true gumbo, while the seafood boil was overwhelmingly salty. We ordered snow crab and 1 lb of clams, but unfortunately, quite a few of the clams were just empty shells. Plus, definitely not the freshest, either. The packaging was nice and everything arrived looking appetizing, but when it comes to a seafood boil, it's all about the seasoning and quality of the seafood, and those were missing the mark this time. read more

Grab A Crab - Snow Crab Legs (1 Cluster) - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Monterey Park, California

We are regulars at this location but also Hacienda heights . Last time we came was 3 weeks ago and I left a yelp review . I'm only doing another yelp review because we notice some changes and we don't like them. One of them is that they took out the tray we put our boiling bag . It's so much more convenient when you're sharing for two or four . The second thing is the paper on the table .It leaks through and it simply gets so messy . On a positive note Vanessa and Gisele were great . Service is always amazing and I love the fact they always come around asking if we need anything and my drink is always full. Since we're members we stop by at least 2/3 times a month . read more

Terrible take‑out experience at Grab a Crab, would NOT RECOMMENDED. When I opened my order at home, I was immediately disappointed. The shrimp were clearly not fresh. Many had dark discoloration, rubbery texture and did not taste right. The lime wedges included were old, yellowed and dried‑out, looked like they had been cut ages ago. The fried oysters came with an extremely thick batter, it turned soggy and unpleasant to eat. No dipping sauce was provided at all. On top of the food quality issues, multiple items from my order were missing. I paid for a coke that never showed up. They also forgot basic necessities: no gloves and no napkins were included with the seafood meal. For a seafood restaurant, these are basic expectations. Very frustrated with both the poor food freshness and careless order preparation. Waste of money. read more

Very cool spot within walking distance of our hotel. When we sat down our waitress gave us two coins for the game machine in the corner. If you pull a stuffed animal you can get free food. I thought this was very cool. We ordered the dinner for two which was 49.99 for this. It was good but needed more sausage and sides. The flavor needed a little something. It was missing something. Very spacious inside the restaurant and very clean. I also liked how if you take a picture and tag them you get a free keychain. Food was good overall! Definitely give them a try. read more

First time time coming to Grab a Crab and it was delicious! My friend and I shared a pound of deveined shrimp and added 2 corns and 1/2 sausages. We did the house sauce, medium and really enjoyed it. We also got sweet potatoes fries with ranch. Our other friend got a pound of regular shrimp and with the same sauce on the side and rice. We all really enjoyed it! The service was fast and good. The prices were decent compared to other places we've tried because usually a seafood boil is pricey. The ambience is nice, plenty of seating. It's a plaza and there's street parking. read more

Grab A Crab - Safe to say our meal was well enjoyed. The combo for 2 is our go too! Thank you to Vanessa for the great service - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I'm so happy they opened one near me! When you walk in, there's a claw machine on the left where you can try to win plushies that can be exchanged for food. I won the potato plushie but ended up keeping it because it was way too cute. One of the things I love most about this place is the combos. The combo for two is such a good deal, you get two seafood boils, two sides, and one fried item. It's WAY more than enough food for two people, and for the price, it's definitely worth it. I also love that the combo comes with potatoes and corn. Their sauce is so good, especially because it has a lot of garlic chunks in it. I also haven't encountered any mushy or overcooked shrimp, whether I've dined in or ordered takeout. I'll definitely be coming here often! read more

Grab A Crab made celebrating my sister-in-law's birthday truly special. I really appreciated that they offered both reservations and a waitlist, making planning easy. The service was attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. The seafood was packed with excellent flavor, and everything tasted fresh. The only minor drawback was the garlic noodles, which were a little overcooked. In addition, Elva was awesome! Overall, we had an excellent dining experience and will gladly return. Highly recommend this spot for delicious seafood, celebrations, outstanding hospitality, and memorable meals with family and friends. Five stars without hesitation because everyone left happy, satisfied, smiling, and eager back. read more

It has been a while since I've been to a Cajun shop. The service was phenomenal. I would give a 5 stars for that. Parking is easy to find, since you have plethora of parking downstairs. This place have plenty of seating, and you are given a coin per person to try out their claw machine. It is pretty cool. The food was pretty good overall, I didn't have any issues, the seasoning was pretty good and standard. The only thing is that I wasn't sure why the rice took forever to come out, it is not like they didn't plan on cooking rice that day? I was hoping to try out some of the rice and sauce towards the beginning, but it is OK, the staff was really accommodating about that, there's not much that they could do about It. The ambience of the restaurant is chill, expected to be a casual spot amenities included gloves at the table and a bib. read more
