Joaquin was amazing! He made sure my husband and I wanted for nothing on our anniversary. The seafood boil was chef's kiss, perfectly seasoned and delicious. Thank you for making our night so special. We'll definitely be back! read more

Let me start with saying, I came here because of the social media reel. I must say, I'm SO GLAD I came! We were drawn by the All You Can Eat offer but opted for the family dinner. Everything was DELICIOUS! We split the family dinner between three of us and COULD NOT finish the tray! The staff was extremely helpful and even allowed me to plug up my phone as it was dying. The decor was casual seafood and so was the atmosphere. If you want to get together with family and friends, for some great shellfish, this is the place to go! I will definitely be back! read more

Excellent service, food was amazing. We ordered the luxury dinner for 2 and it was perfect portions for 2 people.

We took our family on a Friday night after hearing about this place on Instagram. We enjoyed all of the food and the family tray was more than enough for all of us. We got the shrimp, peeled shrimp, green muscles, snow crab legs and added the lobster tail. The food came out fast and it was delicious, we enjoyed a good kick so we got it spicy and it was perfect with the potatoes, sausage and corn. They also have plenty of drink options. We tried their different margaritas and they were delicious. The location did get busy later in the day but there is plenty of space and the staff is on top of everything. Would recommend this place for anyone looking for a seafood boil. Make sure to ask for extra lemons and salt and pepper, we pour it on the parchment paper and squeeze the lemon so you can dip your shrimp in it. read more

It was my second time at this restaurant. The first time I got the dinner for 2 and this second time we just ordered a bunch of stuff. The server mentioned that there was about 15 minutes left of happy hour so I definitely took advantage. My sister ordered a white zin and we all agreed that it tasted old / stale so my sister was able to switch it out for beer. I ordered a Pinot Grigio before I tasted my sister's wine and that also tasted old. Like it tasted like the wine had been open for a while. I didn't tell the server about the second wine tasting old, but I should have. Isn't the wine only good after three days of being open? My brother ordered a margarita too and he said it just tasted like margarita mix. If you're drinking alcohol at this restaurant, just stick to beer. As far as food, I personally was disappointed in the garlic noodles. They had a slight taste of garlic but just mostly tasted like buttered noodles. The dynamite mussels were not my favorite. It tasted like it had a hint of mustard and I'm not really into that. We got the fries and they were good and crispy but we questioned whether they were Cajun fries because there was nothing Cajun about them. Now, for the actual seafood boil.. we ordered two pounds of shrimp and two pounds of crawfish. We got half mild and half medium. The medium had no spice at all. The medium and mild honestly tasted the same. The one positive thing I will say is that the shrimp was huge and it was not overcooked. I feel like a lot of seafood boil places tend to overcook their shrimp or maybe it overcooks in the plastic bag it comes in, but their shrimp was perfectly cooked. I truly don't remember this place being a negative experience from the first time I came or I would've not come back. My experience this second time around was just very disappointing. I think the workers need to mark when the bottles of wine were open and please do not serve wine past three days. read more

3 stars only because the service sucks now that Brandon is gone. The food is great and for the price, however the past couple times I've been there and Brandon is not there it has been sucky service. read more

I love this place with all my heart! The food here is absolutely delicious and so irresistible. We always get the whole shebang sauce since we just love the flavor of it.

Craving Crab Haus - Garlic noodles with Cajun shrimp - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Riverside, California

The owner cares more about the perception of this establishment than correcting what is holding them back. He and his team could benefit from extensive customer service and diversity training. It is very clear and obvious that he has created fake 5 star reviews following the worst experience that my group and I had here recently. If I could give zero stars, that would be well deserved. read more

My bf and I found this place on Yelp for late night dinner. This place seems fairly new. We came late at night around 9:40pm on a Saturday and we were the only customers and a few to go orders. I feel like when colleges are in session it will be busier at night. There is a fee for parking but they validate, You need to get a ticket for parking and there's loads of parking. They validate and it's 2 hours free. The inside of the restaurant is very spacious and clean. Looks like most seafood Cajun spots. This may not be the case everytime and depending on the time and if it's more busy but our food came within minutes from when we ordered. It was quick service and the waitress was so kind and attentive. She even gave us a to go cup for our drinks because she knew we still had an hour drive home. The food was great! We got shrimp with skin and head on with the whole shabang medium. We really enjoyed the shrimp and sauce. The sauce was full of flavor and not too spicy. The shrimp was great quality and fat/meaty. The fries were crispy and tasty as well. If you are in Riverside area, def give it a try! We will be back when we are back in the area. Thanks for serving us for a late night dinner! read more

Craving crab haus has set the bar for seafood boil in Riverside and surrounding areas. I came in on a Wednesday and did not have to wait. The inside is eclectic with its decorations and makes you feel like you're somewhere other than Riverside. They have amazing micheladas and a great beer selection. Happy hour has amazing prices and discounts too! The seafood was fresh and very high quality. Tim was our server and he was super friendly and very attentive. I can't wait to go back and try more varieties of their dishes. Keep up the great work! read more

We didn't even stop to take pics. We devoured! I was super critical in the beginning because usually seafood runs a pretty penny but it was worth more than we paid! The shrimp are really big so try not to be disappointed. It's the right weight, the shrimps are just fat af. Katie? Absolutely amazing service. She guided my friend through the menu who had never had seafood boil before. She was super sweet and funny and we loved her! The vibe in the restaurant was so good and we were all comfortable. We paid super good prices for amazing food and got amazing service. I'll be back next week read more
