Came after going to the huge Miniso a few miles away. Craving more shrimp boil after shopping lol. Saw good reviews so wanted to try. Very small restaurant but interior was nice. First thing noticed was the single server on a Friday night, as well as the owner occasionally checking up on tables. Shrimp was decently priced(16.99/lb), and cajun fries were good. Their sauce/seasoning were amazing, which is the main reason they get a 3 stars. But the server forgot almost everything we asked for(a drink refill and the check that didn't come for about 10-15 mins), but the owner is really nice and sweet(asked my younger sister if she wanted candy before we left :)). Only thing to say is that maybe have a few more servers for a Friday evening because the tables next to us were waiting about 20-30 mins longer than we did for our food :(. read more

my bf and i tried star crab for the first time and had a great experience! i think star crab is an excellent option if you're in the area and will definitely satisfy your seafood boil cravings for a quick wait. we got 2 lbs of shrimp in the full house (spice level: hot) sauce, and were surprised at the amt of shrimp we got (in a good way!!) we also got the fries, but they weren't as crispy as we would have liked, but were overall a good addition to the meal. the service was also phenomenal!! the owner sat down with us and made it a very personable experience. will definitely come back! read more

Star Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Upland, California

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. The lovely music in the background gives the place a real vibe. The food was the star--snow crab and shrimp, plus potatoes and corn in mild garlic butter... absolutely delicious. 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! Highly recommend! $92 read more

Food was great, but unable to substitute on the family deals and young waitresses was rude. Not greeted when you walk in. Bill was confusing and needed explaining. Restroom little messy since there's only one bathroom shared. read more

We were craving seafood and went to good ole' Yelp for help! Drove to Star Crab and we had no wait time! Service time was pretty fast. Seafood was delish! I like the decor inside. It's a nice, quaint place with good seafood. We got the family bundle that was around $55 plus adding on white rice, more potatoes and corn. We added Cajun fries on the side. Service was "ok" but not bad to keep me away. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. A hidden gem, for sure! My man and I frequent this location and order ahead to go. The owner is so sweet and the quality is unbeatable. We've had other shrimp boil places and they just don't compare! The sauce and the way the shrimp is cooked is top tier. The only downside is they open a little later than we'd like but it's worth it. 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

This place was sooooooo good! Absolutely delicious! I didn't know this place existed until I was in upland. First time trying sea food boil in the IE and it was amazing. we came on a Wednesday, there was no one else here which I don't know why but the lady was very sweet. I felt like we were eating in her home I recommend the house sauce, it was so good I couldn't stop thinking about my left overs all day the next day The garlic bread was alright, it could've been more crunchy but I will definitely be back! read more

Well this was my first ever sea food boil and omg was it GOOD! SO much flavor. I ordered the house sauce with hot level spice and it was a perfect spice level I love spicy but didn't want to over do it in my first time I will probably order the " crazy" spice next time. Alexis our waiter ( I think she might be the owner) was super helpful and extremely kind. Asked us multiple times if we needed anything or if there was anything she could help us with. Over all a great experience and will definitely be back! 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

Star Crab - Snow Star Combo with Medium Spice Full House Sauce - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Upland, California

Everything was great! The woman at the front was so seeet and seated us right away. Our server was Jasmine and she was amazing. Kept checking on us, fought us everything we needed and more. She came by and saw that my sauce was spreading and about to drip onto the floor and my lap so she made a little slope to prevent that. She was great, food was delicious and came out hot and fast!! I e only eaten seafood here since living in the IE! They are running a great place! With a great ambiance read more

I ordered the shrimp boil with corn, potatoes, and fries to go. The owner was so helpful to bring out my large order and even walk me out to my car while I was holding my 4 month old baby!! read more

It was our first time coming here. The server was really helpful and let us take our time ordering. She answered any questions we had and even gave us recommendations ! She constantly checked if we needed anything and made sure we had a great experience. Will definitely be coming back! read more

We decided to try Star Crab after someone I know said this was their favorite place to have this type of food. When we arrived there were only two parties besides us. So it was empty and you can say slow. The place had a strange feel or vibe, but we went with it because of the reviews. Everything started great. Their menu is strangely worded versus other similar restaurants. Let me break it down for you. 1 corn = 1 corn 1 potatoes= 3 pieces of potatoes 1 sausage= 5 pieces of sausage When our food was brought out a big party arrived and kinda forgot about us. Saying that, the service wasn't consistent. $3.95 to have a drink that is medium size and full of ice is not cutting it. Being empty is not acceptable. The sausage pieces were not a consistent size. I felt like we paid for more food than what we got. The food was all good. The quality of the seafood was great. However, this is not in my area and the place is not cheaper or better than my local place, so I won't be coming back. My overall rating is a 3.5 read more

Star Crab - The shrimp in Cajun hot sauce with corn potatoes and sausage omg it was Soo good and the perfect amount of spicy - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Upland, California

It was absolutely delicious, at first I was a bit skeptical, having had multiple different seafood places in the past . I have to say I am astonished, when you walk in on a work day calm environment, food aroma mesmerizing. Makes you third guess your second guess... for the better . Spice levels appropriate for those who like mild or want to test their spice level. Definitely recommend!! Alexis is top tier , make sure you visit (: read more

Came here for my son's birthday. The food was great and the service was excellent! Ambiance was also great.

I came to this place because I had visited the Ventura location which was exceptional but unfortunately this place did not meet the same service or experience as the one in Ventura. It seemed as if they were behind on shrimp which is what they sell, so that didn't make sense to me. Other people got their after us and they got their food before us which is unexplainable to me. Honestly a pretty bad experience. Will not be coming back here if you value your time I recommend you don't either. read more

They weren't open on a Friday at 2:30pm like stated. There was no notice outside the restaurant as well. Disappointed because we drove here for nothing... read more

The food was so delicious! The owner is so sweet and makes you feel like family. The only thing I would suggest is to hire one more person to help because the service was a little slow but this did not affect our experience too bad because we were in no hurry. Will definitely go back! read more

They were not open at 2:30 on a Friday like their business hours stated. Disappointed because I really wanted to try a seafood place close to my home but will not be coming back. read more

If I can give this restaurant unlimited stars I would. So glad my friend referred me to this place. She lives in Diamond Bar and she raved about this restaurant. The service and workers are amazing. Food is delicious! I would even go to say the food is tastier than your chains (Boiling Crab and way better than Kicking Crab) This is my new go to, I won't try any other cajan style seafood restaurant! read more

This place is such a gem the food is amazing the atmosphere is calm.. the owner has such an incredible personality and very attentive My daughter loved it as well.. our new go to for our Cajun fix 10/10 highly recommend! read more

I went to Star Crab in Upland and the service was good, but the overall experience wasn't great. The environment and decorations gave off more of a cabin vibe, and the red plastic cups felt a bit cheap.The food wasn't the best either; it actually came out cold, and the fries took about 40 minutes to arrive. On top of that, my drink refill came in a measuring cup, which just felt weird and unprofessional. read more

My boyfriend and I and his daughter went in to Star Crab in Upland. When we walked in their were people still inside eating. The hostess came out and ask us were we picking up and order?? We told them no were there to eat dinner. When we told her that she left us standing their and she came back with another lady and that lady asked us the same question?? And we told her no. She left us standing their and ran into the other lady going back to the kitchen yelling for someone else to come out. We got tired of waiting for them to seat us and we left. The most rudest customer service I have ever experienced. Would not recommend this restaurant in Upland to nobody. Very rude!! Would recommend the Fontana California restaurant. Great customer service!! read more

This place is the best come here for fresh ingredients and a great vibe! Came at 5:00 read more

Star Crab - Vibezz - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Upland, California

After reading many reviews I went out of my comfort zone and decided to try this spot. We were sat right away, however we waited more than an hour for our food (which is understandable considering it is seafood) When we received our appetizer it was incorrect and then I mentioned it to the waitress and she said that I was wrong I ordered that and I told her this is crab I asked for calamari. Upon receiving our food I mention something was missing and our waitress started speaking loudly to me and I said I added two of an item and she's like "NO YOU DIDN'T, SEE" and showed me the order receipt. At this point I was so bothered I didn't not care about the dang calamari nor the items that were missing from our shrimp bag. I just wanted to leave. But I was not about to walk out on a $100 order. I understand they might have been short staffed, and there was a possible language barrier but I did not appreciate being yelled at in front of a room full of people. I understand we all have our bad days, but this experience was enough for me to not come back. Horrible customer service, read more

Alexis is the owner and she is amazing. She is very kind. Her food at this place is beyond delicious. The same like boiling crab, but the environment is quiet, clean and not too busy. I highly recommend this place 10/10. Great Service and very fresh tasting food. This is a must try and a hidden gem. Our own boiling crab in the IE. read more

Walking in they had a super cute cozy holiday set up, but the place was kind of small which was fine. It was slow they weren't busy at all we sat and waited 45 minutes before they brought us our drinks. I asked for a michelada and she brings me a miche cup you buy from the liquor store and a beer. It was not good at all! The rice was watery and the fries were not good either. The shrimp and clams were not fresh and the sauce was terrible. Super watery and salty. The prices are good but 16$ for that michelada was ridiculous. I love shrimp boil but this has to be the worst place anyone giving them a good review obviously hasn't eaten at a good seafood boil restaurant. The restroom was dirty and the sink they have outside to wash your hands had no soap. Then the woman asking for a tip once we paid like girl no ... read more

I did a to go order on Sunday, the staff was very nice and friendly I have zero complaints there. I got the basic 1/2 pound shrimp w potatoes, corn and sausage w all the mixes of sauce. I live 3 minutes away and my food was barely lukewarm warm. The potatoes were hard and the sausage was almost uneditable. The flavor was great and the shrimp was too I was just pretty disappointed in how it came when it was to go. I will def try again though and maybe eat there. read more

This place is clean and parking is easy however service has gone very bad, one staff was rude and i couldnt stand her attitude, food was ok... not going back again read more

Food was so good and the sauce for shrimp honestly has such a good flavor. The service was also amazing, I believe her name was Alexis. She was super nice, welcoming and friendly. The only thing was that the sausage links were a bit squishy but that's personal texture preference. The ambiance is chill and calm. The overall taste of everything was great, will be coming back here!!! read more
