Every time I come here, it has been a hit! Each time I've ordered the combo 2: snow crab legs with a 3/4lb of headless shrimp, atomic sauce, mild. Headless shrimp is really a game changer, the sauce really gets inside and makes it extra flavorful. Must try it! Cajun fries are also good, but I'd skip the garlic noodles. Service is always attentive and helpful. Ambiance is is casual and family friendly. Outdoor seating is available but I feel like it's such a messy meal.... I would not want all the passerby's watching. One of my fave spots in the area!! read more

Went on a Saturday afternoon and we were seated immediately and got our order taken + food in like 12 minutes! Food was super good and the raspberry iced tea was amazing. Great service read more

Bag O Crab - Seafood Near Me - Dublin, California

Soooo, I've been craving peel and eat for 6 months lol. There's not many to choose from in the Dublin area and the one that I knew of closed... bummer. I was scrolling on DoorDash yesterday and discovered Bag O Crab. I couldn't even begin to tell you how excited I was and yep I placed an order immediately. I ordered the 3/4lb shrimp with head off (I know, so basic but a pair of shrimp eyes staring at me is worse, k) added some potatoes and corn and a side of rice. I got it with atomic sauce and medium heat. My food was delivered hot and packaged so nicely in a reusable heat safe bag with gloves, plenty of lemon wedges & a table cover. Everything was perfection and I was practically drooling. I prefer to eat peel and eat at the restaurant but due to my temporary work sched working nights and just didn't have the time. I appreciated the very well packaged delivery. Super excited to have a peel and eat location near me and I can't wait for my next craving. PS, I would have posted pics but I inhaled/devoured my Bag O Shrimp ;) read more

Took my fiancé here for the first time and we really enjoyed it! The service was great and the food was good. We ordered the combo with octopus and shrimp. The octopus was a bit on the chewy side but the flavor of the seasoning was great! The atmosphere was cool and the restaurant decor was cute. We will definitely be back for the shrimp and will be trying more things on the menu. read more

So good! But, need to make the portions bigger. The bag of seafood is not enough for 2.

I was in the plaza and noticed this restaurant and was intrigued. Finally had the opportunity to try it and I was underwhelmed. If you have a gimmick (food presented in a plastic bag), you really need to deliver. My husband had the shrimp and I had the lobster tail, both were far from tender. My lobster tail was pretty chewy. My corn was mediocre. My husband did like the sausage and potato. The sauce was OK. They did provide gloves, but the whole experience was way too messy - and they did not provide wet wipes, although they did give us a whole pile of napkins. The service and ordering process was great. We won't be going back. read more

Excited to see a new seafood boil spot, since our other go to spot in Dublin closed a few months ago. Very spacious restaurant with patio and indoor seating. Quick service: our waitress was attentive, checked on us, refilled our drinks, brought our food quickly. Food is piping hot - We had to take the shrimp and crab out and lay them out cool down faster haha not complaining because that's how fresh the food is, truly made to order! Only thing I wasn't sure I liked very much was having the staff stand at the entrance of the kitchen, as our table was directly to the right of the kitchen entrance. Felt like I was being watching eating lol (I'm sure this is just to be readily available to servicing needs but it felt a little uncomfortable). Would recommend and would be coming back, probably just requesting a different table read more

Last time! I've been to many locations and this place will underweight your bag of crab order guaranteed! To make matters worse, went back into the store in regards and none of them barely understand english wth! Must be their MO, Beware!! read more

This place was a solid to go option for Cajun style (or just butter) boiled crab - or crab in a bag. I would have liked a little more crab for the price but overall was worth it. I would have added a star if there was a little more value. Had crab boil in Florida that was amazing and we still had to compare something local (to my parents place while in the eastbay) and this fell short in flavor and quantity but still enjoyable read more

Okay we got a combo #2 $48 and 1lb of added mussels ($13 and some change) w/extra potatoes ($3) all with Atomic Sauce medium spice, garlic noodles which were a bit to sweet for me and some deep fried oysters that come in a six pack. It was SO good! We will definitely be back. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was small but does have outdoor seating. Oh and they have a robot for togo orders . I would have posted pictures but it would have only been of the aftermath. read more

Hands down great service. They made things right for us bec when our food came, the crab that was given to us was extremely small. So they made it right and gave us another one on the house. The sauce was very good. Just maybe not a place to eat crab when they are not in season. The place is nice and clean and lots of tables for large parties. read more

I was very excited to see this restaurant open up in Dublin and I ordered to- go yesterday. I was very happy to see that the food definitely lived up to my expectations! First of all when I called in to order the person taking my order was very polite, thorough and patient. I ordered 3 pounds of shrimp with atomic sauce with varying degrees of spiciness, side of garlic noodles, corn and garlic bread. The food was very well packaged with individual bags clearly labelled with spice level and packed in a nice bag. The garlic butter sauce with mild spice had a nice kick with lots of garlic flavour. The atomic sauce we ordered were the dynamite and fire (spice level). Our favourite was the dynamite- very spicy and very flavourful. The shrimp was very nice size and very fresh. The kids loved the garlic noodles. We are definitely going back - our new fav restaurant! Highly recommend. read more

Came here Sunday, food was super good and fresh! Arielle took great care of us and checked in a few times to make sure we were good. Super sweet and made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend! read more

Came in during their soft opening. 10% off! I've been so sad since hot crab closed and I was waiting for this place to open. Ordered their combo 1 that gives two types of seafood. I was able to order two pounds of shrimp this way. It says it comes with 2 corn, 2 potatoes, and 2 sausages but my bag had 4 corns! So lucky. Atomic had a lot of good flavor. The mild is a bit spicy already, so if you aren't used to spicy, maybe ask for mild or nonspicy . I enjoyed the garlic noodles. Lots of garlic flavor. read more

What a crazy surprise this was. Our youngest daughter loves trying new food. With a name like "Bag O Crab" I had very low expectations. I was absolutely wrong. It was just amazing. As the name implies, they put everything you choose into a bag and serve it that way. It's insanely messy, but everything tasted wonderful. Even the Dungeness Crab which is not currently in season was good. Super low key ambiance so come as you are. For sure we will be back soon. read more

When I say I'm coming back every year and dropping $500. I mean it. Idc if rent is due. It was orgasmic my eyes rolled. I was in heaven. Someone loan me some monies get the garlic NODDLES!!!! read more

I made a reservation for a party of 8 for my mom's birthday. They called and I let them know that we are a few min late. When we arrived, they already gave our table to another party and we had to wait for the next large table. Most restaurants will hold a reservation for about 15 minutes but they don't. It was a Monday night, not even peak days. The food is good, like regular Cajun seafood. About $85 for King snow crabs combo, about $65 for Dungeness crab combo, about $36 for two seafood combo. Individual bag is $18.99 a bag - shrimps/mussels/clams/octopus/crawfish If you want additional sauce, it's $5 each. $24.99 for a dozen of raw oysters. They also offer baked and fried oysters. They offer variety of other food options like fries, pasta, garlic noodles, etc. read more

Was really sad when Hot Crab closed down but was delighted to see that another cajun seafood boil place opened up and even closer to me so had to go in and check it out to see how it compares to Hot Crab (RIP), Kickin Crab, Boiling Crab etc...The location replaced what was Round Table/some greek place I forgot the name of so hopefully this place will last longer than the prvious tenants. The place is oddly small and has less seating despite being a large building. There is outdoor seating however on a cold day you want to stay inside but I can see how it would be nice on a summer evening. They could really benefit with some additional tables though, perhaps some smaller 2 person tables. Went in on a friday during peak time 730pm and they were full up on tables so had to wait a good 20-30 mins to get seated. Seems people were lingering at their tables for FAR too long for some reason. They have no seats for those who are waiting either so you gotta stand around looking hungry and trying to stare others into leaving. Seriously, this one group of 3 ladies were sitting at their table for over 45 mins AFTER they had paid their bill. I know there is nothing the place can do about customers like this but I just had to vent about the amazing lack of self awareness of some people. the decor and atmosphere is pretty nice with high ceilings and not too obnoxiously decorated like some other crab boil places. 3 large tvs with the NBA playoff games going on so that was nice to be able to catch the games. Staff was super friendly, attentive and curteous and they have a robot waiter for the some of the food items that are ordered however I would probably trade the robot for more indoor seating as I feel they had wider areas and less tables so the robot waiter can navigate more freely. Personally I do not care about most of these things as the food taste and quality matter most to me and I tend to have my ratings reflect the food 90% of the review and this place scores very highly in this regard! I ordered 2 separate 1 lb bags of shrimp as they had additional sauce flavor choices which I had not seen at other crab boil places before. Typically you will have a basic choice of 3 popular flavors but this chain has 4: Cajun, Louisiana, Garlic Butter and Lemon pepper and most people usually get a mix of of all the sauces and here it is called Atomic Sauce. I ordered 1 of the bags with Atomic Sauce Medium and a side of sausage thrown in. The other bag I wanted to try one of their 2 custom sauces that I have never seen offered at other seafood boils, 13 Flavor and Mala Spicy. Both sounded interesting so for the 2nd 1 lb bag I ordered the 13 Flavor. Both bags I ordered with the head on because we all know thats where the real flavor is at. They do offer head off option for those that dont want a ride to flavor town and only want to be dropped off at the edge of flavor town. Also ordered a side of Garlic Noodles as any decent seafood cajun/asian restaurant needs to have great Garlic Noodles to go with their seafood and sauce. Food arrived quickly and piping hot which is always a plus especially since it was a pretty busy night. The shrimp in both bags were of very good quality, very fresh and cooked perfectly. They were not overcooked and mushy but cooked enough to have the flavor seep in. For the Atomic/Mix em up/kitchen sink bag the flavor was very similar to what you would find at the other similar chains which is nice because you always want to have a baseline of flavor to compare against. I would say this particular combination is slightly less salty than Hot Crab and slightly less sweet than Kickin Crab but not as oily as Boiling Crab for those who have tried all and have a particular flavor profile they are used to. For myself I prefer a tad salty kick to the sauce but this was a good sauce flavor with plenty of garlic, not too much butter oil and a good combination of dry spices. I did find I had to really mix up and massage the bag to mix the dry spices up a bit more and evenly distribute everything evenly so my first taste out of the bag was not as strong but after I mixed and massaged a bit more the flavors did come out a bit more and was just what I wanted out of a combination sauce mix so was very pleased to know I can get pretty much exactly what I was used to from the other places. Now the magic comes from the custom sauce I tried: The 13 Flavor sauce was AMAZING! I had never had this type of sauce before with seafood boils and its hard to compare it to anything. It is definitely a more asian inspired sauce with strong hints of black bean chili sauce and what I believe was either peppercorn oil but was not as spicy/garlicky as the Atomic Sauce giving a unique flavor and must be tried especially if all you have ever tried was the standard mix. This sauce was especially tasty when mixed in with some white rice. There are red, green peppers and onions as well so it adds even more flavor. read more

Atomic Sauce is my go to - it has wide range of spice level which is good depending on your mood. Shrimp is cooked properly and easy to peel. Their Cajun fries is also really tasty. Server was very attentive and checks on you from time to time. The place also has good number of seats and spaced out properly. read more

Food was awesome, their garlic sauce was really good. The shrimp doesn't stick to the hell when you peel it. Nicely cooked. Attentive service and a nice atmosphere. We will try it again read more

My new go to spot for seafood boil. They get busy on weekends so get there early. Weekdays no wait at all

Missing depth of flavors. Not enough sauce. Items weren't mixed well. Added noodles in the bag. Soggy noodles. Get the rice on the side instead Good customer service read more

Family enjoyed the Dungeness crab, clams, and garlic noodles complement our choice of sauce.

When I heard Bag O' Crab was opening in Dublin, I was beyond excited as I frequently drive to the San Leandro location. Unfortunately, the Dublin location was a huge let down. I ordered takeout, and the food was noticeably different from what I'm used to in San Leandro. The sauce for the shrimp was bland lacking flavor and swimming in excessive oil, and the calamari was soft and undercooked. Hopefully they'll catch up in quality to their San Leandro location but for now, I guess we still have to make the trip out to the bay for good Cajun food. read more

Great food. Good staff. Like the location. Thanks for coming to stockton we needed you

So happy there's a bag O crab closer to me! I frequent the Modesto location, and I must say the food here at the Dublin location is just as delicious. Tons of flavor and the service was great. The garlic noodles were sooo good and flavorful, the fries had the perfect amount of Cajun seasoning. The seafood was very fresh and tasty, we got shrimp, mussels and lobster -- the atomic flavor for each bag and I have no complaints when it comes to flavor. I give 4 stars not 5 just because my lobster was a bit overcooked but it was still delicious. It's a smaller more cozy location, but I can def see myself frequenting here instead of the Modesto location. read more

Today I ordered DD finally being able to give this place a try. As we all know, we have to travel a bit for any seafood boil since Hot Crabs has closed so I was really excited to give this place a try, unfortunately it didn't quite hit the spot as I was hoping. I ordered the Combo 2 with shrimp and snow crab in their signature sauce. It's definitely more on the savory side but seemed quite oily and lacking in flavor. Not bad though. I found that I had to really snack the bag because a lot of the shrimp wasn't covered in any sauce. Snow crab was pretty good. On the other hand- their thirteen spice was just horrible and had no flavor what's so favor and literally had 8-9 crawfish for their "1 lb ". I couldn't even enjoy the crawfish because they had no flavor and was soaked it what seemed like straight oil and soggy veggies. I'd like to return maybe as a dine in, but I think they need to tweak their flavors a bit because right now it's just not giving in that craving. read more

Wow. What a restaurant. Me and my friends go to. Love this place. Will miss it. Get the combo 2 louisiana flavor mild spice extra sausage shrimp head off with rice and noodles on the side. Thank you. read more

*Doordash order review I have been waiting for this place to open up for months since we don't really have a seafood broil spot around the area.. the wait was worth waiting for!! Flavor's pretty solid. I ordered 1lb of shrimp, atomic sauce in medium. Had a decent kick to it while not losing the garlic flavor, so that definitely won me over. Since this is nearby, I'll definitely come in one of these days to experience dine-in! read more

Food was overpriced and not worth it There were so many parasites on our crab legs (didn't get to take a picture of the whole crab) which made me and my boyfriend super disgusted. Our stomachs started hurting afterwards. Service was good. The workers gave us another batch. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I've lived in Pleasanton Dublin for 4 years. I've moved from Fremont. Since moving here, the food I miss is cajan shrimp. There used to be one restaurant here. But the business has closed. If I want to eat this kind of food, I have to drive far to another city to eat. Thank you for opening in this city. Your restaurant has delicious and friendly prices food and has a variety of menus to choose from. Drinks include a variety of beers and sodas. The restaurant has a good atmosphere with lots of parking. The restaurant is big and has a lot of tables. I recommend everyone to go eat. You definitely won't be disappointed. read more

We ordered their takeout today. After bringing the food back home, we found the crab they gave was not only small, tasteless, but missing several legs, and the body of the crab was so meat-less that it looked HOLLOW!! It was obviously a defrosted crab that had been put in the freezer a very long time!! Can't believe a restaurant like this would not serve fresh crabs!! read more

Service, food and ambiance were good. The waitresses were attentive, and came to our table to add water, and asked us if we are satisfied with everything.
