The absolute best. My daughter turned to me and asked "have you ever had seafood boil?!" I responded "yes. Let's see what's close" and was NOT disappointed! This will be our new go to spot! read more

Star Crab - Seafood Near Me - Riverside, California

Getting there: Follow maps down Magnolia St in Riverside and you will see the parking lot on your right-hand side. Parking can get a little cramped since this shopping plaza is tiny. Experience: After a long break from 'shrimp in a bag' style dining, my visit to Star Crab in rekindled my love it. The standout feature for me was the waitress providing gloves - and not just any gloves, but high-quality ones where none of the spicy juices get into your cuticles and you don't leave smelling like fish. This thoughtful touch allowed me to dive into my seafood without hesitation. read more

Star Crab - Seafood Near Me - Riverside, California

This is my sons favorite place for sea boil! The shrimp is always cooked perfectly! The wings with their house sauce is a MUST TRY! Better wings than any other spot I've been too. Service is amazing! Super nice and helpful and the vibe they bring is awesome. The place inside looks very similar to boiling crab, but their food in my opinion is way better and the price is perfect. We love this spot! So happy we found this little gem. read more

Come here all the time. We love it. Good food, great service and the ambiance is amazing. The shrimp and bag with Cajon seasoning fries are the best! Don't forget a Michilada to go with it !!! read more

I try to come here once or twice a month with Friends and it's always great service from Anthony our waiter he always attentive and fast food is always great and love the music that plays read more

Honestly just terrible. I did a take out order. I've been here multiple times and it's honestly just a hit or miss. Tonight I decided to order take out from here and my order was missing items. I ordered eggs which is 3 something and I did not receive it. It's an inconvenience. The snow crab was terrible. Hardly any meat. Just a terrible night. The service however was good. The young lady who took my phone order was patient and nice and when I picked up the food she was nice I even tipped her. But the food just not it. I won't be returning. read more

Highly disappointed with the advertised weights/ammounts. Since last time I had my doubts about it, I didnt want to make a deal about it, but here it is..."1 POUND OF SHRIMP". I guess half pound is 5 handpicked shrimps now ‍ read more

My first time trying a restaurant like this My daughters treated me to this place They do have to prepare the table before you get seated so it is a bit of a wait not too long though Our waiter I can't remember his name sadly was amazing super sweet , friendly and very attentive Foos came out pretty fast and was hot and delicious Only complaint I have was the corn it tasted old and stale But other than that great experience read more

This was my first time at a place like this. It was so good. It's a hands on experience and messy. You really get in touch with what you are eating. Fortunately they provide more than enough ways to stay clean. They even have a big sink to wash up at if you don't use the gloves provided. If you love seafood, I highly recommend Star Crab. read more

We got the shrimp with all the sauces and it was okay, we also ordered a basket of Cajun fries and I probably wouldn't order them again. They were very dry and the flavor was not it, we couldn't even finish them. read more

Lobster tails were fire , the veins were showing though , the only thing I really had an issue with is how my sides came out , I asked for a separate bag with the crazy sauce and they put garlic butter.. I was craving lobster and called for a pick up order next time I will just sit there as I feel they put more love when you sit there . I've been here multiple times and I noticed when you pick up the order there's not much sauce or anything , but will be back add this is my fave spot for seafood boils especially their lobster it's always good ! read more

The food at Star Crab was amazing. The service was friendly and responsive. I recommend getting a reservation, because based on the size of the crowd the word is definitely out on how good Star Crab is. It was packed when we were there. We even had to park across the street. But it's totally worth it. Even if you walk in and have to wait to be seated. read more

Tables to open up take WAY TOO LONG. Longer than any other seafood restaurant I've ever been to. Ambiance is wack too.

Place is really good. Service and Cleanliness is 8/10. The food is really good, would recommend the make your own bag. Cajun hot spice level 8/10. Prices are not to bad, depending on the market value in your area. Great family environment. I always get fresh crawfish, clams, shrimp, sausage and lobster tails. read more

Since the first time my family and I been to star crab, our experience has been nothing but amazing! The service is a highlight with the waitresses checking in and always ready for questions. They are extremely kind as well! The restaurant is always clean and the decor is really nice! Nicer than a lot of other cajun seafood spots I've been to. The food here is absolutely astonishing, I usually get a pound of shrimp with their full house sauce. The cajun fries are also very good. They always come crispy and flavorful. Star crab never fails to be delicious. I would highly recommend coming here if it's going to be your first seafood boil. They're the best I've ever had! read more

I love this little hidden gem. When I'm in the mood and don't want to drive down to TBC, this is a great substitute!! The flavors are delicious!

I love going at least once a month! read more

Worst service ever! Place was not even packed, took 45min to get a seat. Another 45min to get food. Only saw the waiter when she took our order. Another guy came and said I don't know where your waiter is, but can I get anything. Not coming back ever! I will drive elsewhere! read more

Yes, again a great take out order. Ready as told, 45 minutes. Same perfectly cooked seafood bag with a ton of garlic butter. The chicken fingers and batter fries were all eaten up. Our third visit since March. A really great place. I am concerned about inside dining. When we got there 430pm it had 3 tables of two being served. There were 3 girls on the floor. A couple behind us asked to be seated, but we're put on a waitingist. There 12 tables open, and they were put on a waiting list, 10 minute wait. A couple behind them left because of this, so inside dining may not be an option. Plus I've read a few yelps that have issues with inside dining. FYI read more

Food was great. It was a little of a wait for small crowd. Great atmosphere loved the vibe. It was my grandson's 16th birthday he loves loves love seafood and he really enjoyed the new item garlic noodles. Only one thing I didn't like was our food was coming out piece by piece and the mild sauce was a tad bit spicier than expected. Overall it was a great meal experience. Thanks for making my family happy with your service. read more

So bomb! The flavoring is so delicious! I always get "Hot Full House" So so so good! I wouldn't recommend this place enough! No other boil places can compare! This one always hits the spot! read more

We just tried placing an order for pick up and "Gio" (he said that was his name) needs a little more education and customer service over the phone. Some people just feel entitled to be rude. We asked couple questions since it was our first time ordering from this place and he sounded annoyed... ended up just canceling our order. read more

This is my go to crawfish place when ever I'm in Riverside. Sometimes they are really quick to get you seated at the table. Other times is really slow. Customer service was great. I just feel like their crawfish portion is kind of small. Their fried shrimp is really good with sweat potatoes. Decent pricing (not cheap) overall a good experience. read more

Terrible terrible terrible idk what these reviewers tried but ignorance is bliss they need to go to a real crab boil place and see the difference I'd reckoned driving to grab a crab or ol reliable boiling crab but anyways I got there waiting 30 mins and the place looked empty but okay than we sat down in the middle of the restaurant also not helping the cause was a loud party next to us that had their kids running around the restaurant and screaming like it was chucky cheese don't know why the restaurant didn't say anything to the party but back to my horrible experience I sent a text message around the time I sat down and ordered it was just me and my gf we waiting based on the message time 56 minutes for 2 pounds of shrimp and a cluster of crab I tried leaving multiple times because of the long wait but I couldn't even find a server around to try and pay for my drinks and leave eventually as I was literally going to walk to the front counter and try and pay and leave the food came idk this place has such small seafood portions like they had the smallest shrimp and crab I've ever seen and honestly I don't think it was a full pound take a scale I promise you they give less than what you're paying for anyways we ate the food and literally got hot level spice and it had no flavor plain shrimp I have to use tapatio to add some flavor to my food at the end of it all we were not full the price was super expensive idk why even before paying the server asked if I'm sure I don't want to review the bill I was like I'd pay extra to get out of here faster I had to walk to the front counter where we check in to ask for the bill please people save your money and make the drive elsewhere I won't ever be coming back here I don't even leave reviews but I just don't want people getting screwed over like myself read more

Just left from here. This was the worst experience that I've gotten from a star crab. I'm very disappointed because elsewhere customer service is somewhat better. The waitress snatched from me. I let that go. It seemed the whole entire time we were being rushed. I was just so over it. I then try to enjoy my food, was never attentive.had to ask someone else for a refill on water. Super rude told her about herself couldn't apologize. Very disappointing customer service here. Btw the waitresses name was Christine, I believe that's how you spell her name. read more

I'm wondering why this restaurant has 4 stars , 35 $ for cluster of 6 crab legs and 2 lbs of.Shrimp ,, It was So disappointing to see how little food it when we layed it on the parchment paper , on top of that the young man on the counter has no people skills at all , $74.50 total he was lucky I even left a tip, Never Again,,, read more

I ordered the shrimp star with mild garlic butter and it was delicious. Sauce is mild if you're sensitive to heat and like to enjoy your meal like myself it's a perfect blend. The server was really nice and accommodating. The ambiance is nice and I love the sea look and the booths. 10/10 read more

The food is always great here but they really need to get it together with the service , I remember this place never had long waits and now they claim they always short staffed that's why it's always almost 2 hour wait to be seated , and all these empty tables ‍‍, def need to hire more people . If yall like waiting for 2 hours come and enjoy the wait ‍ read more

The Best Crab Restaurant in Riverside California the food is delicious and worth the trip.

TBH I read a lot of reviews bashing this place but hear me out. I ordered this place from postmates last week and let me tell you, the flavor of the sauce is ON POINT! This is probably the closest I'll get to Boiling Crab. I ordered a pound of peeled shrimp, medium with my sauce on the side and it was fire!!! The potatoes were creamy the corn was good the sausage was iiight but I'm not a huge sausage fan. Overall - it was soooo good. I'm definitely going to order from here again. I also tried the other seafood spot (Seafood and Crawfish) and Star Crab is way better IMO. I am going to try the king crab legs from here and update my review. Give StarCrab a shot, you won't be disappointed read more
