The restaurant had a good amount of people dining in and out but the process to order online was super fast and simple, and it was quick to pick them up at the register. Pete's lobster rolls are fat!! Both of our rolls were filled with juicy, fresh pieces of lobster, and they were tasty just dipped in butter. The bread was nicely toasted too. The lobster rolls are a good size and can be cut in half, so you can share with someone if you wanted to.

I love crab leg seafood boils and they are my #1 favorite food to date. I always like to try a new…read moreplace on my birthday or special occasions and in this case it was the crab pub because the menu looked perfect online. They seemed to have a ton of options for my family who didn't specifically get seafood boils so we went ahead for Mothers Day. When we got there the service was okay, our waitress didn't really check on us much at all besides putting a bunch of lemon slices on our table but no major complaints. We did start off with drinks and some of us got the wrong ones but no biggie because it's busier on a holiday. What I had a problem with was the food itself. I asked for the combo #2 because I thought it was 1lb of snow crab leg like I get every single time, I got it "pub style" which is supposed to be all seasonings like garlic butter Cajun lemon pepper in one. They asked me if I wanted shrimp, sausage or craw fish as my second and I told her I didn't want any of that and just wanted ALL crab legs. I don't know if she fully understood because when I got my boil I could tell it was noticibly smaller. There wasn't 1lb by any means, and looking back I wish I could've said something. I think they just took the amount of crab they got me and cut it in half instead of substituting and adding more. I wouldn't mind if it's extra money, I just want the crab so oh well. The sauce was the second worst thing ever. It did not taste anything like other places, but way worse. All I could taste was a watery spicy Cajun, and even on mild how I got it it was pretty spicy. It lacked any real flavor so on that alone I'd never go back. I usually always get a Cajun garlic butter and it's seasoned to the Gods but still light and potent. This was just not good, and didn't even feel buttery but more a watery oil. We did also get the garlic noodles and they were good. I make garlic noodles at home AMAZING though, so these were average and nothing to write home about since other places can still do them just as good, if not better. A place in SD that had ones even better was called Crab City and their boil tasted great. I would recommend that place instead of this. The reviews and menu pictures had me with much higher expectations and I was super let down. Forgot to mention, my husbands shrimp po boy, he said the shrimp tasted off and fishy like not fresh which made him only eat half and never go back for the leftovers. There was a super sweet sauce on it as well that tasted random to me when I took a bite so I would stay away from that as well. I also had to pay extra for my potato's that normally come with your boil at every other place. They usually come with potatoes and corn but this place came with nothing and you even needed to pay extra for potatoes but they were bigger and different then usual with no salt or anything so they were not worth getting at all, nor finished by me.

Make sure to mix the boil thoroughly beforehand or else there won't be any butter flavor for the surface level seafood. The seafood was very high quality and the marinade was flavorful. Surprisingly, the oysters were my favorite part. They tasted super fresh and like they were just harvested from the ocean. The appetizers were also amazing. The Brussels sprouts were drowning in a buttery sauce which made them taste wonderful. The sweet potato fries were crispy and a nice palate cleanser. This is a good, affordable spot that I will definitely come back to.

Food came out in about 20 minutes and everything was very fresh and piping hot. The cashier was very friendly, and gave great recommendations. For food: - Wings - incredible. Super juicy on the inside with a perfectly crispy exterior. Easily a standout. - Catfish - just as impressive as the wings. Crispy batter with tender, flaky juicy fish inside. - Mac & cheese - luscious and rich, one of the best I've had. - Candied yams - honestly the best I've ever had and I don't usually like yams at all. The seasonal cantaloupe refresher was light and refreshing a great pairing with the meal at the recommendation of our cashier. We also got the chocolate chip cookies (made by the owner's daughter) to go and they were a sublime finish to the experience. Easy 5 stars, I'll definitely be back when I am back in the area.

Hidden Gem of San Diego…read more My first time visiting Surf and Soul, I ordered the Fish hook sandwich. Lemme tell y'all it was absolutely phenomenal.

Tartar sauce was great as well. The fries were okay and the banana pudding was good. Overall, I had a great experience with this restaurant. It's takeout only and they got my meal ready in 15 minutes. I'll be coming back here.

We ordered the combo #3 mild (approx $35.00 and added 1lb of King Crab legs = 2 crab legs (approx $50 for 2 king crab legs). I forgot to take pictures. The only feedback I have is, saving customers tome if ordering over the phone for pick up. We offered to pay for our order over the phone so that we could pick it up and we were told No, that we had to come in and pay in person and wait for our order from that point on. I understand not starting an order without payment, but if we are Paying in advance, I am not sure why that is an issue. The server who took our was extremely sweet and helpful. He made a comment about food going to waste if no one picks it up when ordered in advance, But if the food is paid for and not picked up, we saw plenty of homeless people around the area that I dont think would mind a delicious free meal... Just a thought.

I got the Orecchiette Con Salsiccia ($24) with ear shape pasta finished with sautéed garlic, olive oil, Italian sausage, pesto , chopped tomatoes, parmesan and mozzarella cheese in white wine cream sauce. It was very savory, creamy, and cheesy. It's one of the heavier pastas I've had but it's probably because I removed the rapini because I don't like the bitter taste. I thought the sausage quality was just okay and not the best. I loved the Al dente pasta. I would probably opt for a tomato base sauce here because I think they do the flavors so much better. My family got the Taglierini Neri Ai Frutti Di Mare ($27). Plenty amounts of seafood with really well cooked pasta. The portions here are massive! All of us had to take our dishes to go so I highly recommend coming here if you want to bring home seconds. Service was also attentive and I appreciated that the kitchen plated the panna cotta to celebrate Mother's Day. I never get panna cotta but this one was creamy and not too sweet with the blueberry sauce. Highly recommend.
