Love coming to the drunken crab, I stop here probably 2 times a month when in the valley I drive from the AV which is 60 miles away for this deliciousness. Our server Edwin went above and beyond and i must say, I am very impressed on how attentive and knowledgeable he is. he is extremely helpful. We ordered the peeled shrimp Louisiana style all 3 sauces , calamari, fish and chips and strips for my kiddo. Everything came out so hot and fresh. the sauce is one of the best! I appreciate that it is not runny at all. The fish and chips were fried to perfection. Overall best place for seafood and will be back soon read more

Food is okay, this place is overpriced and they are price gouging the crab, the shrimp they sell is very small and double what you would pay for at boiling crab. The bags come with minimal sauce and they charge 5$ extra for extra sauce. Service is not great either, they treat their guests like CRIMINALS and make you put down your ID or credit card for a pound of shrimp, not the ambiance i'm going for. For the price you pay i'd expect better service and cleaner facilities. The bathroom floor was sticky and it smelled horrible. read more

Watch your receipts! Hidden fees everywhere. I understand inflation, but this restaurant is taking it too far. The food quality has dipped (smaller shrimp), yet the prices are higher than ever. Most insulting are the new hidden fees: they now charge you for using a credit card AND a separate fee just to dine in. After paying for the meal, a tip, and multiple surcharges, it's just not worth it anymore. New management or not, they've lost a regular customer. read more

All the workers were super sweet & helpful. The wait is a bit long if you go during rush hour but honestly not more than 20 min & they have seats for you to wait comfortably which I loved. Its sea food so it's definitely pricey. It's a really fun and unique experience & I do think everyone needs to try it at least once! They have different flavors & spicyness levels for everyone to choose from so you'll be able to find a combo that works for you. read more

My favorite shrimp place in the SFV! Hands down. The decor is so cute. They have plenty of TVs and a full bar. We came during lunch right when it opened. The gentleman at the host desk informed us about their card policy. Which means you either need to leave your ID or a credit/-debit card before you can order your food. This is the first time I've encountered this at any restaurant but I can only imagine the amount of "dine and dashers" they have had to deal with before implementing this rule....soooo I'm not mad at it. It was pretty quiet. Except for the music that was playing in the background. The music was not too loud, which I appreciated very much. Our server's name was Jaclyn. She was very nice. Very professional. Non wonder she was one of the employees of the month. ;) My daughter and I ordered the head on shrimp. With all three sauces, mild. We also ordered calamari and a side of jasmine rice. I've ordered the calamari before. And it's always been great, but today the calamari was very tiny. Good flavor but I felt the portion was pretty small considering the price. I also enjoyed the dipping sauce that came with it very much. Shrimp was cooked to perfection not overcooked at all. The sauce was finger licking good with the perfect amount of spice. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. I will continue to make The Drunken crab My Cajun shrimp restaurant of choice. read more

Can't beat a great seafood boil, and this spot just can't be beat. They got your seafood in a bag with whatever choices you want to add. Pick your sauce and your spice level. I recommend making the meal Louisiana style because it adds some goodies into the bag, like corn and sausages, and getting their house sauce. *licks finger*; I can literally taste it right now. Also they got beer and margaritas to complement your meal. They also got some great appetizers; the calamari is a good choice, but my favorite are the wings. Let me tell you, boy, these are better than that local chain down the street, Stopwing? You know what I mean. These wings smack hard! I love the whole theme and atmosphere here; everyone is so nice, and the tables are covered in a white paper-type of thing that the kids can draw on. They are giving crayons, and they go crazy. Good kids menu as well; they do have non-seafood options for them like nuggets and mac and cheese. Wait times can be a pain, though, and they do have this weird policy that they must hold a credit card. Guess too many dine-and-dashers have occurred here. It's okay, not a big deal, and they let you use whatever card you want at the end. I came for my birthday, and they gave me ice cream with a candle and a crab decoration; it was kind. Our server was really nice. Recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good seafood boil place. read more

Tried this place for the first time recently, and really enjoyed the food and overall experience. Daniel was an excellent server, provided great service, and I appreciated his attentiveness. The restaurant had a short wait time, the space wasn't overly crowded, and the environment was casual. This is a seafood spot I'd recommend to anyone looking for seafood boil in the 818 and personally I enjoyed it more than the crabby crab, both in terms of flavor and quality. Looking forward to my next visit read more

Mache was the best! New to the neighborhood and we will be back. Have to say the crab here is way better than Boiling Crab--came right out of the shells easily in big pieces. read more

Meche is the best waiter I've ever had here!!!! I have shared my very horrible experiences on yelp before with Drunken Crab but he just made this place a regular. Please only give me Meche as a waiter from now on. He was funny, kind, and the customer service was amazing. Little loud, but nothing too serious. Great Friday dinner, thanks Mec read more

I'm a regular here, so it might seem like I'm biased! But the truth is.. when you have amazing service, delicious food and a hype environment, why wouldn't you want to keep coming?! The bartender Manny was such a great vibe! Checked up on me often and took care of everything in a timely manner. The manager was polite and brought me my clams. I sat at the bar today. Tvs were on ESPN 2 and I enjoyed every minute of my meal! Thanks TDC for always going above and beyond! 2nd to none! read more

Drunken Crab is a solid pick for seafood lovers, but head-on shrimp is the way to go -- the peeled ones just don't have the same flavor. If you're not ready for the full seafood boil experience, this might not be for you. The Cajun fries are a great appetizer, and the fried shrimp combo is perfect for picky eaters. The wait times can be long on weekends, and you have to be there in person to join the waitlist. But once you're seated, the food comes out fast. Overall, great flavors and fast service once you're in! read more

Mache was an amazing host / waiter. From the beginning he explained the menu very clearly, was able to make recommendations based on my likes and needs as well as my girlfriends, and was very clear about everything. He provided outstanding service the entirety of my visit and i hope he is my waiter in the future, and that more people were like him. read more

Mache made our experience amazing!! Food was incredible and came out so quick. We will definitely be coming back.

I had my first visit to The Drunken Crab in North Hollywood, and it was nothing short of amazing! I ordered a pound of the Dungeness crab Louisiana style, paired with a refreshing mojito and a side of sourdough bread. The flavors were incredible, and the food exceeded all my expectations. the sausage the two corn and the two eggs were just chefs kiss!! What truly made the experience unforgettable was our server, Mache. From the moment we were seated, he was attentive, accommodating, and genuinely kind. His warm demeanor and exceptional service elevated our dining experience. It's evident that Mache is a dedicated and hardworking individual who takes pride in ensuring guests have a memorable time. If you're planning a visit to The Drunken Crab, I highly recommend requesting Mache as your server. His outstanding service truly sets the bar high. Thank you, Mache, for making our first visit so special! read more

The thing with this place is that it's different everytime I go there . One time it's nice and juicy and next time the seafood is just sitting on top of a little bit of sauce in a bag . Service is okay because it always seems the waiters and hostesses are under a lot of pressure . Ambiance is always cool people sitting eating with families watching sports on tv plenty of beer and drinks , that's great read more

Came in for a quick craving fix but the service received made me want to add this place as a new go to. Daniel not only acknowledged us right as we were seated, but also paid attention to our tables needs. Being served like a refill without asking is a big thing to me. Thanks for the service today Daniel! read more

The drunken Crab is our go to when we are craving Shrimp. The wait time is always above 30min on the weekends, but it is always worth the wait. The servers are extremely nice and come around often to check on us. We love that they have TVs so we are able to watch the Dodgers play. The it could get a little loud but it's a good time feeling. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday with some friends. We only waited 10 minutes because we wanted a booth, unlike other seafood boil places with huge waiting lists. The food here is always great, next time I'll make sure to order extra sauce. Their sauces are really good and the spice levels aren't unbearably spicy, the only thing is that it comes with so little. Our server, Edwin, was awesome! Very attentive and quick to fulfill our requests and answer any questions we had. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Always good food and customer service. We will definitely come back again. The sauce is always on point.

2k people cannot be wrong ! This place blew me away. We visited on a Monday afternoon 12pm. The host opened the door for us as he greeted us in. Our waiter Sam T. Had the best customer service. He was super friendly , professional and made our experiment that much more enjoyable! He took his time explaining everything to us and even brought us some samples to try ! ... once we decided on what food items we were getting it was time to taste test. The food was unmatched! Dare I say this ... it was better than boiling crab. I ordered whole shrimp, medium , flavor All 3 and it was the best I've ever had ... I can't say enough good things about this establishment. I would 100/10 recommend and will be returning ... thank you again SAM T. for your service. Food was chefs kiss. !! read more

I haven't been here since before COVID and recently came back to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. Sadly, the experience just wasn't the same. The fried shrimp was overcooked, and overall the food felt overpriced for what we got. On a positive note, our server was excellent and the manager was very attentive and kind they were the best part of the experience. I'm really disappointed because this used to be one of our favorite places, but after this visit, we're not sure if we'll be coming back. read more

Just an update because we came back and had the most amazing server ever! Omar was not only etertaining but brought great energy to our party of 9. The food was on point and he made no mistakes and pre-bussed our table and refilled our drinks. If you haven't been...go and ask for Omar! read more

Love this place, the foods always great and they never take too long to bring it out. The vibes are also very exciting so if you want to go for a game night I'd really recommend it!!! read more

Very dissatisfied. Just go to boiling crab please. It's way better. This place also really messed me around. I went here right before I left for vacation. Before you dine they take your ID because people dine and dash I guess. I paid and left and they didn't give me back my ID. So if you do decide to go here then don't make my mistake and not ask for it back when you leave. I left out of town without my license and it ruined my vacation. Thanks drunken crab. Food sucked and they should give you back your ID because taking it to eat isn't a normal practice. Also the picture that they have in store says that you can leave a credit card instead of ID (which makes more sense) but the worker told us that it has to be an ID not credit card. They should correct the sign and/or train their employees better. When coming back to get the ID it sounds like they have a mountain of IDs in back so I'm positive that this didn't only happen to me. read more

The drunken crab does not disappoint. Once again, an absolutely delicious dinner. Fantastic service and all around a good time. Our waitress Jacqueline was on top of things checking to see our drinks needed refilled without hovering around the table. You absolutely have to try the clam chowder here. They make it to order. In a single serving bread bowl for the first time I had fish and chips here, amazing! What else can I say? If you haven't been here, you owe it to yourself to pop in and get try it out. read more
