Best Seafood Boil in the South Bay of SD & one of the best in all of SD. I've been to a few in SD & I liked a couple of them but Bag O Crab is now one of my favorites & happy that they moved into the South Bay of SD so I don't have to drive far. They are new & hitting the ground running hard. Me & my whole family loved it! First let's start with the customer service from I believe Irene, it was amazing. The best customer service I've received at a Seafood Boil place ever, she was friendly, attentive, fast & helpful. And the prices here are great, better than other Seafood Boil places, affordable & portions are big. Now for the food, amazing, ORGASMIC I'll even say! So flavorful, we got the Atomic Medium so it was a bit spicy but so good. The potatoes, corn & sausages are bigger here than other places & softer. Shrimp big, clean & tasty, muscles big, soft & delicious. The crab legs also soft & easy to crack & pull out & the bottom part full of meat & very clean. And we love that they bring you a big silver bowl to pour it in so you can mix all your food in the juices. And we had the best Gyoza ever, perfectly fried & make sure to get their Cajun Edamame as well & those Cajun fries hit real good, dip it in the juice. And love their to go bags. Overall I loved this place & they have a loyal customer in me & I will continue to come here, service, prices, food all 5 stars. Thank you Baggy & staff & I'll see you soon amigos :) read more

Bag O Crab - Seafood Near Me - National City, California

We enjoyed the new restaurant Bag O' Crab located in East Plaza Blvd, in National City, CA. I'm always in search for a good seafood spot. The restaurant opened its doors in May of 2026. They had a special advertised if you spend $50+ you get a FREE gyoza appetizer. The gyoza was so delicious and very crispy. I found out about this restaurant on Instagram. We enjoyed the following: Combo #2 with 1 lb of snow crab legs and 1 lb of shrimp with garlic butter sauce and medium heat. I drizzled lemons on my seafood boil it was so good!! We also ordered a basket of fried fish with Cajun French fries and both were very crispy and delicious. We had excellent customer service. Our server was very attentive. The restaurant was clean. There's indoor seating only and enough parking available in the plaza. I definitely would eat here again :) Check it out!! Happy Yelping :) read more

Bag O Crab is a national seafood boil chain that has opened a second location in SD County. This National City suite in the Grove Plaza used to be the home of an Asian hot pot eatery and before that a sushi restaurant. Parking was plentiful in the plaza lot. Like all of these seafood boil places, the interior decor had a nautical theme with wall art and ocean-related items hanging from the ceiling. The seating capacity in the dining area was sufficient for around 50 customers. Sheets of white butcher paper were torn from large rolls at the service counter and placed as a "tablecloth" at each table. I arrived for a late weeknight dinner and wanted something besides a boil bag as I didn't want to wear a bib and plastic gloves for my meal. I settled for the Louisiana Grilled Shrimp and a cup of Gumbo Soup. The entree consisted of a dozen medium sized grilled shrimp with white rice and a side salad. It was served on a lined metal tray with the rice and salad each in separate cups. I didn't find anything that really stood out. The soup had good flavor from the seafood stock. I wish it was a larger portion for $7.95, but the gumbo was certainly the best item of the evening. The service was good, and the bonus was that I received a 10% discount for the soft opening promotion. read more

The family and I stopped by for lunch during their soft opening, and we were excited to give this place a try! They were offering a special--complimentary appetizers depending on your spend ($30, $40, or $50), which was a nice bonus. We received Cajun edamame (which we love adding into our crawfish boil) and Cajun fries, both on the house. We ordered two Combo #1s (with Cajun and Atomic sauces), two chicken tenders, and a half dozen oysters. Overall, we were really impressed with the flavors. The clams were huge--we're used to the smaller ones, so this was a great surprise. The shrimp were perfectly steamed in the sauce, making them easy to peel, and the crawfish were just as good--the meat came out easily and was super satisfying. The kids enjoyed the chicken tenders, which had a crispy, flavorful batter, and the Cajun fries paired perfectly with their ranch. Service was also great--our server was so nice and sweet, which made the experience even better. read more

Located a few doors down from Manila Seafood. Ordered the combo #1 (1lb of jumbo shrimps, 1lbs of crawfish, a couple of corn on the cob, 2 small red potatoes, and a couple of sausages) in mild atomic sauce which is original cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic butter. Ordered side of half a pound of mussels and lemon pepper wings and rice. They have a special right now when you buy $50 worth you get a free order of their gyoza. I honestly like this restaurant better than the other seafood boil ones here in National City. Also way cheaper here. So good!! Will def be back again! read more

Foods were fresh. We ordered the combo number 1 with octopus and headless shrimps. They were big and juicy. Atomic could use some more salt and a bit sugar to balance the taste and a little less butter. I appreciate the quality of the seafoods though. Raw oysters were a good size and very fresh saw well. Service was prompt. Owners were polite and gave suggestion of lesser spice level since their spicy level is a bit on the spicier side. Beautiful decor. Loved the low sink for hand washing to accommodate little kids to adults. read more

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! Probably the best seafood boil I've had in San Diego. Their sauces are very rich in flavor without it being too salty. They also have really good oysters. They cook their shrimp perfectly, unlike others where they tend to overcook their shrimp. Gotta check this place out! read more

We tried this new spot that opened in National City. Ordered the seafood boil of course. I must say, they do give you a lot of crab in the bag. We were disappointed with are experience though. The crab did not appear to be cleaned properly and had a very strong fishy smell, which made it difficult to enjoy the meal. The sauce was also not very good and lacked the flavor I was expecting. We left almost all of the clams and mussels in the bag and just paid the bill. I'm hoping this was just an off night because I've heard good things about the restaurant. Unfortunately, based on this visit, the quality of the food did not meet our expectations. read more

Had a great experience at Bag O Crab ! The food was delicious, and the Atomic Sauce and Louisiana Flavor Stream Sauce were so good I'd definitely order them again. I also really liked that you can add noodles or rice to your seafood boil. The noodles soaked up all that flavorful sauce and were honestly one of my favorite parts of the meal. A special shout-out to Irene, who was an amazing hostess. She was friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout our visit to make sure everything was good. The prices were great as well, especially for the quality and portion sizes you get. Overall, great food, great service, and great value. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

the freshest seafood ever but the sauce recipe needs complete revision. as someone who grew with a mama from the south, i know how a seafood sauce is supposed to be. the sauce here is literally rehydrated oil and then a shit ton of seasoning that just settles to the bottom of the bowl. the seasoning cant stick to seafood because the butter sauce is straight up oil. let me tell you. authentic seafood boil butter sauce is BUTTER. not oil, NOT MARGARIN, not OIL! so besides the fact, you get a bowl of oil with a side of fresh seafood cooked to perfection. this place has so much potential if they just use real butter for the sauce. also the service is terrible. the waitress acts as if she cant understand a simple request, as we asked for unsweetend iced tea, she brought us raspberry tea, when we asked her to take it back for unsweetend tea, she brought out a cup of watered down raspberry tea. like what is actually going on LOL if u dont have unsweetened iced tea just say so?! read more
