    Food: 4/5 Great boil, the mussels are so good. The regular French fries are my go to. Also the fire on the tounge is insanely spicy! That sauce is a good option as a side sauce! Clams, crayfish, potatoes and corn are all a must try! Service: 5/5 The staff is great, very fast, very accommodating. Great staff! Ambiance: 5/5 Very clean, nice restrooms, plenty of space.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Combo For 2

    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!

    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.

    Snow Crab Legs (1 Cluster)

    This is our go to now after trying different spots if seafood boil. This is our second time coming to this specific location and both times Adrian has been our server. Best server at this location hands down!! He is very attentive and always on top of what the customer wants/need

    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.

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

    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.

    First time trying this place and was very impressed! Their combo for 2 was more than enough for the two of us. You get to choose 2 seafoods, corn, sausage, potatoes, and 3 different sides - great value for $50! Will definitely come back because very blown away by the taste and quality of the food

    Ambiance of the grab a crab is really cool!
    Jesus R.

    Ambiance of this place was indeed great! Music wasn't loud, the dodgers were playing and WINNING, there was a MMA match going on as well. This place has it all! Not to mention, ADRIAN with the A++ service with the food recommendations that hit the spot. Oysters were fresh, shrimp were delicious, and the beer was COLD! It's the type of recommendations that make you come back again and again. Not to mention, convenient. You can come here and have dinner before or after watching a movie at AMC theaters. No long waits, no need to wait in line at other Cajun restaurants when Grab A Crab has it all!

    Membership Reward! 2 pounds of shrimp

    Adrian was a fantastic server! It was our first time at this place and I think I found my new favorite seafood boil spot. Adrian handed us a scratcher promotion where we won free sausages, and coins to play the Grab-A-Crab claw machine for more rewards! Additionally Adrian sold us on the $10.99 a year membership where we got 2 pounds of shrimp as a welcome bonus. We ordered snow crab on the side and everything was DELICIOUS!!!! We will definitely be coming back and making the most of our new membership

The shrimp were cooked to just the right consistency, not overdone and rubbery. It also came with sausage, which was plump and flavorful. Not too spicy. The oysters were fresh, briny and paired with lots of lemon (upon request) and Tapatio. Delicious! The garlic bread was good, and supported the meal well. Our server, Nick, was great. Attentive, helpful with the menu and Johnny-On-Spot with more napkins, lemons and refills. We got there at around 5:30, without a wait (for a party of two). However, it was already packed, and by the time we left, there was a good amount of people waiting to be seated. The restaurant was clean, lively and bustling. There are even robots rolling around delivering food, utensils, etc. A pretty cool experience. For two people, we had a great shrimp boil with delicious sides, garlic bread and six oysters as an appetizer for a great price. Can't wait to try it for lunch. We'll definitely be back!!

Because the wait time was too long for that, we decided to try The Dive Oyster Bar -- and man are we sure glad we did. We got a total of five items: a bowl of clam chowder, the soft shell crab appetizer, the roasta, the traditional pan roast with the house speciality protein (with the crab on the side because of my dad's crab allergy), and the jambalaya, which for the last three we ate with medium heat. We shared everything (except for the crab appetizer because, again, crab allergy for dad) and found the food to be delicious, with each entree coming out tasting better than the last. Personally, the roasta was my favorite with the pan roast as a close second. Very flavorful dishes with medium heat being a good level for us (wasn't spicy for our Korean palates). Service was great, our server (unfortunately forgot his name) was attentive and quick with our requests, and although he forgot a side of rice, it was for the best as the food had settled in our stomachs by then and we were content with what we ordered. The restaurant itself is well maintained with ample table space and appropriate lighting, though the music from the evening DJ was a tad bit too loud to hear from across the table. Not a big mood killer for us, though mostly because the good was that good. We're not from this area, so the odds of coming here again are relatively slim -- but should the opportunity present itself, it'll be more than fate this time to take us through these doors once again.

Each combo came with a corn, potato, rice, and broccoli. We chose the Cajun garlic butter flavor and honestly, the seasoning was spot on. It was garlicky, buttery, and packed with flavor. Definitely the highlight of the meal. That said, one thing that was a bit of a dealbreaker for me was there's no restroom or at least even a sink available to wash your hands. With a seafood boil, you're guaranteed to get messy while peeling shrimp and while they do provide gloves, they rip really easily. I had to keep switching gloves which kind of took away from the experience. Customer service was just okay, nothing bad but nothing super memorable either. Parking is also limited since it's a small strip mall so just something to keep in mind if you're coming during busy hours. Overall, the flavor and food were solid but the lack of a sink made it a little inconvenient.

Then I was told the noodle price was supposedly "happy hour pricing," even though nothing on the menu or tables mentioned that.

After making us wait, the manager came over, dropped the check on the table without apologizing, he said nothing and walked away. The charges were never corrected.
