I've been to the Bag O Crab in Berkeley and had a great experience, so I was excited to try this…read morelocation.
Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing.
There was about a 20-minute wait before we were seated. We ordered wings, fries, garlic noodles, and our seafood bags. Some of the food came after our seafood bags, which was frustrating.
I ordered Combo 2 with snow crab and 3/4 lb of head-off shrimp, potatoes, and sausage. I specifically chose no-spicy seasoning, but my bag was still spicy. There also wasn't much sauce, and what was there was too thin. The other person who ordered a seafood bag agreed that the sauce wasn't thick enough.
I was honestly very disappointed with my seafood bag. The potatoes were served whole in the bag, and I only ate maybe 2 or 3 pieces of sausage and I can tell the corn is frozen prior to cooking. It's very mushy.
I spent around $65 total on the bag, fries, steamed rice, and can soda. And I honestly felt like it was a waste of money. For $65, I expected the food and overall experience to be much better.
The wings, garlic noodles, and fries were good, so those were definitely the highlights. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not compare to my experience at the Berkeley location.
Another downside is that the drinks are bottled or canned, so there are no refills. Service could have been better as well.
And honestly, the first red flag was the bathroom. It was horrible and made a bad first impression before we were even seated.
Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this location. I expected much more, especially after having such a great experience at the Berkeley location.
