My experience was good. I ordered three pounds of shrimp each had a potato, sausage, and corn.16 pieces of shrimp each pound) and one pound crawfish, places like these always have market price on their menus so I always double check just so I'm not surprised. One bag of shrimp and the crawfish were ordered hot, both bags labeled, appreciate that. Walked in, was addressed immediately, staff was friendly, offered wax paper cover to take home. Not a lot of places want to offer that unless you ask. This order was a take out, I've been here many times before, never had any issues. But the vibes are always good, sounded like a good time when I walked in, and baseball games were on their TV's. read more

Food was amazing and customer service was on point I recommend this place come check it out 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

order put ready for pickup, though still have to wait another 15 mins in store, poorly customer service, when i have complained about the 15 extra mins wait time when the order said ready for pickup, rude and unprofessional cashier, food is not bad, but customer service is why i would give 1 star! GIO (he said that was his name) NEEDS TO MANAGE HIS CUSTOMER SERVICE OR ELSE IT TOTALLY RUIN THE FOOD EXPERIENCE FOR PEOPLE! read more

First time going and it was ok, we have the fried calamari and garlic noodles, and made our own Cajun bag. I did get shrimp, clams and mussels and crab. The calms and shrimp were very good, but I was so disappointed in the crab they steamed too much that the crab stuck tot he side of the crab legs and the meat shredded up so it wasn't good crab at all, that alone for one crab bunch, 5 legs all together was 27.99. It was not worth it at all our total was 118 dollars for all of that and 2 drinks and one beer. Won't go again. read more

Family of 5 ate here this evening. Total was $275 One of the orders was snow crab, there was only one cluster, meat was moderate. Ordered another snow crab meat was minimal. Crab was old and bags were full of juice it seems that the juice made up the pound. I'm very disappointed because I've eaten here before and one pound of snow crab has always been 2 clusters. But each of our snow crab orders had only one cluster. I feel shortchanged. Sizing portions should be consistent, and reflect an actual pound. read more

Worst experience! Went there for dinner and my 2 year old son can't eat anything on their menu so we brought in his own food and we were told he couldn't eat it in the restaurant. They said they had a strict no outside food or drink policy which I find ridiculous for a baby/toddler. We were already sitting down ready to order when we were told this. I asked the reasoning and they couldn't provide an answer, I asked to sign a waiver and they said no. I will not be returning here with this poor customer service and lack of empathy for my son. Denying my son to eat is a new low for a restaurant, shame on you! 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

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

Great food, great service.. reasonable prices. If you have picky eaters, they offer chicken strips and seasoned fries .

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

Went to seafood and crawfish down the street and they let my kids come in with food and the costumer service was better! 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I am here at least 2 times a week. Addicted to everything here. The service is outstanding. The food has me craving for more and more. You walk in and feel super comfortable. Love the huge hand washing sink by the restroom. The place is clean and fun to look around. Always playing fun music. I always start off with the Cajun fries and their dipping sauce is delicious. This is a must try. 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.

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

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

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

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
