To my taste, this is by far the best Star Crab location I've been to. The owner and staff were genuinely friendly and helpful from start to finish, which already sets the tone. The flavor and seafood were absolutely on point. My group of five ordered the Snow Star Family Bucket with Full House sauce, and everything came out fresh, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. Portions were solid and we all left very full and very satisfied. If I had to nitpick: The mild Full House sauce was a little spicy for something labeled "mild." Still tasty, just a heads-up for anyone sensitive to heat. The fried calamari was good flavor-wise, but it was a bit light on calamari and heavy on fries. Small side note: my wife and I love having boiled eggs with our seafood boil, but unfortunately they don't offer boiled eggs here. Not a deal-breaker, just something we personally missed. Overall though, great food, great service, and a spot I'd happily come back to again. Easily our favorite Star Crab so far. read more

A Saturday night visit. We wanted a spot that wasnt overly crowded at 745pm. We were seated right away, but they initially placed us at a table in the middle that was too small for our group of six, so we requested a booth along the wall instead. They provided us menus, pretty straightforward; choose seafood, add sides for an extra cost, choose the flavor, and the spice level. One thing not noted on the menu is that shrimp isn't peeled, but they can peel them for an extra $6. And each order comes in pound increments. No half a pound offered. Your table is also covered with paper so you can eat the seafood boil from there. They provide bibs and gloves for no charge. Ultimately, we enjoyed our meals. Everything was flavorful and, unlike some other seafood boil spots, it didn't leave us feeling like we had heartburn afterward. There's a little sink for you to clean your hands at, which is nice since you dont have to wait for the restroom to empty. The service is what was a bit off. Like we asked for 3 Cajun fry boats but only received 2. Drinks were mixed up, and the clam chowder didn't arrive until about 20 minutes after our seafood bags had already been delivered. If you want ranch for your fries, they charge 60 cents for a small container. For drink refills, they bring a pitcher, but it's the kind typically used for measuring ounces. The server also tended to reach across one end of the table to grab empty cups or pass out food. Since I was seated at the end, it felt awkward having to help pass things down, especially since there were other access points to reach people in our party. We left around 920pm. I only mention it because we were the last group there, and we all noticed the heater seemed to have been turned on. Restaurant sign says open til 10pm on Sat. but we saw them turn off their open sign when we went outside. Needless to say, service could have been better. read more

Me and my boyfriend were around the area and we came upon this place. We love seafood! It was so cute inside, I loved the green plants, the music and just everything! It felt like I was eating at home. I ordered the pound of shrimp w/ full house seasoning and medium spicy, it was so yummy! I loved that the full house sauce had garlic chunks. My boyfriend got the snow crab and the meat was really juicy! And not bad for it being $35-$40. The service was great. She was constantly asking if we were doing good and gave us plenty of refills. :) Overall, definitely check it out when you guys are in upland and want a yummy seafood boil bag! read more

Very expensive for small portion, it's not worth the price here, the service I give it 6/10. Flavor wise not so good less flavor I'll say.

We ordered takeout and the lady was so kind and thorough. We ordered the shrimp bucket with double clams and an extra order of shrimp. We got our shrimps peeled and head off. We ordered the medium level Full House sauce. So much sauce and the corn and potatoes were also soo good. Not a fan of sausages in general but the ones here are good. The price is reasonable and the food is clean and plentiful. Will definitely come back and order more. read more

Small location big flavors! Loved the customer service and the quality of the shrimp! They have garlic bread which is the game changer here. It's a small corner restaurant but you feel at home. They have lots of options and lemon pepper fries are our thing. Highly recommend the full experience with all flavors mixed in ingredients. Prices are fair for a group of 4 with 4 pounds of shrimp + drinks snd Michiladas $150 Tab. 10 stars! read more

I seriously drive 40 minutes just to eat at Star Crab in Upland California , and it's worth it every single time. Their Cajun shrimp Full House is hands down the best -- perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and always cooked just right. On top of the amazing food, the service is always incredible. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. If you're in Upland, this spot is a must-try! I wish I posted a picture of the food, but it was too late. Everything was done. read more

I was in town for a day and stopped by this location. i was greeted when i walked in. the lady in the front was doing it all so we had a slow start to ordering but she was so nice. the restaurant feels really homey. i started with a raspberry tea which is free refills. i never had crawfish in my boil so i tried it with the shrimp full house sauce and i think medium spice it was so good. The corn was great my potatoes were a little too soft for my liking. if im ever back in town ill definitely be back. read more

Let's start with the inside... Small, themed, clean and up to par. Service: we happened to be the first people to arrive with a child. They were running late (4:30, opens at 2:30), very friendly and accommodating as well thinking we were waiting for a long time but we assured them that we were not and just arrived as well. The food was standard. Now that 911 sauce and Crazy sauce I had used for dipping definitely grows into a strong heat so if you're into spicy then that's the heat you really want. The lemons are rationed but I understand that since since I see other places that carry a bunch of waste. We had a little back and forth about the sauce since extra was for bag only but once we got it together that's when the bowls came out and it made all the sense in the world. The wonton soup! Amazing, as well as the extra fried chicken. Places usually don't get it but they got that extra frying to perfection. Crab and scallops were cooked well, the lobster just wasn't done right and came out in its own bag. Once they figure that out, it would have been a tip top meal. 3/5 stars just for the lobster as it was the most expensive thing we got and don't forget you won't spare any expense as crab was 36/lbs, scallops 35/lbs, I believe the lobster was 40 or 50/lbs so all in all for two and a baby.... Leftovers were brought home happened to be around 236+ a 30$ tip! Will definitely still come back though!!! 3/5 for the lobster and late upon opening and service was good just a bit lacking waiting on us to figure everything out for them. read more

The owner is the sweetest human! She goes out of her way to make sure everything is good enough for each customer. I love the quirky things she does like serving refills with a measuring cup, she sits down with you to take your order and she can have a conversation! Also, it's so nautical in here! Her decorations are cute and silly. And the food is sooooo good. I've tried serval seafood boils around town and nothing compares to this authentic flavor! read more

Star Crab - SO GOOD! 3 pounds of shrimp, 1pound of crawfish for 2 people! About $106 not bad! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Upland, California

Horrible! Do not recommend!! We waited an hr and half for our food while people who came after us were getting served.. My kids were starving by the time we got our food. $35 crab was half cold! Big disappointment. So small in there you had to move every time someone would walk by. read more

Love this place! The owner is so sweet. My family was craving seafood so we decided to stop by on a Saturday night. It gets very busy on the weekends. The space is pretty small so keep that in mind if you have a larger group. There were a few large groups that came in after us and waited a long time for a table because they had to find smaller tables to put together. We ordered Calamari for an appetizer and the "Blue Star" family bucket with an extra 2 lbs of shrimp. The Calamari was decent and I wish they gave more calamari than french fries. The seafood was cooked perfectly and their sauce is sooo good! read more

It was sooo good the sauce was the perfect amount of butter, Cajun, and garlic! Definitely coming back to this place! 10/10

Spicy, Saucy, and So Worth It! I had such a great experience at The Star Crab in Upland! If you're craving bold, spicy, flavorful seafood, this is the spot. I ordered the hot Cajun shrimp boil with corn, sausage and potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious -- the shrimp were juicy and perfectly cooked, and the seasoning had just the right amount of heat to bring the flavor without being overpowering. I also got a side of their 911 garlic butter sauce, it was very hot and very yummy. If you like a serious kick, this sauce is a must-try! For appetizers, I had the calamari and Cajun fries, and both were spot on. The calamari was crispy and not greasy at all, and the fries had that irresistible Cajun seasoning that makes it hard to stop eating. The service was great -- friendly, fast, and helpful. The vibe is fun and casual, perfect for messy hands and full stomachs. They provide gloves so you can really dig in and enjoy. Whether you're into seafood boils or just love bold flavors, The Star Crab in Upland is 100% worth checking out. I'll definitely be back! read more

Oh, so delicious. Went for a 15th birthday because this is her favorite . This is the kind of meal that comes with butcher paper table cloth, a huge bib, and messy hands. I highly recommend. Our server, (maybe manager or owner) was very sweet and helpful. I wish I had gotten her name to say thank you on this review. read more

I don't know where to start. The owners are extremely kind! They are so sweet, I've been coming for about 7 years and she remembered me. The food is sooooo good, the prices are $16 for a pound of shrimp, which is insanely cheap especially in our current world. It's so cute and cozy in there. I know this may be weird but even though it's a seafood place it smells good. She lights candles and it smells so good. She gave me a free pack of dried mangos -as well. I forgot her name but the owner. I will always return here. The shrimp is fresh. Sometimes other places the shrimp is mushy but I've never had mushy shrimp from them. My order came up to about $35 and that was shrimp, potatoes, sausage, corn, rice and extra sauce. read more

My husband and I visited Upland for the first time and ran across this little crab boil restaurant and what a wonderful experience it was! The owner was so attentive and personable. The service was excellent and the food was delicious! We had the shrimp, crawfish and muscles with the full house sauce. We also had the catfish and it was cooked perfectly. The space is cozy and decorated with a coastal flare. We will certainly return and recommend this place if you're ever in the area. read more

We had such a great experience at StarCrab in Upland! Our server Jasmine was kind and attentive, and the owner Alexis even checked on us during our meal.

Everything was fresh, portions were great, and we left very full (no leftovers here!). We also had Calamari appetizer, it came with rings, heads and fries and was so good!

The only downside is they open a little later than we'd like but it's worth it. read more

This place is amazing!! Group of 5 of us came on a Thursday afternoon and were able to be seated immediately. The staff here is so friendly and it's a family run business! We got the Snow Star Combo with the Full House (pretty much a mix of all the rest of the sauces) with medium heat and a side of the 911 heat. The full house was very flavorful and packed with just the right amount of heat with the medium spice. Beware the 911 level, it is HOT good but hot. We also got a side of sweet potato fries and rice all around. Overall each and everyone of us left feeling absolutely stuffed and will most definitely be coming back again! read more
