So goood definitely recommend ! :) My favorite was shrimp and clams so juicy and tasty. Recommend all you can eat. read more

This is my second time eating here and both times the servers were extremely kind, however, it is hard to get there attention unless they're making their rounds. The general atmosphere is good and looks clean. The first time I got AYCE however it wasn't worth it as there were additional prices we had to pay and it wasn't worth the price. This time I ordered a la carte 1 LB shrimp unpeeled and 1 LB clams w egg and potatoes, cajun garlic butter medium spice. My friend ordered 1 LB shrimp unpeeled and 1 LB mussels, cajun garlic butter medium spice. While the taste of the sauce was good, the sauce itself was gritty and I was unsure if i was eating sand or seasonings. The shrimps were either too mushy or too chewy. The clams were as expected for frozen seafood. The mussels were alright as well. The second round of potatoes were undercooked and crunchy with a bite to them. Overall experience was a 3.5/5: Service : 1/1 Atmosphere : 1/1 Food : 1.5/3 read more

The food is amazing. The portion sizes are more than enough. Our server, Sergio, was very friendly and attentive.

Had early dinner with my family. Place clean. Warm reception. Got seated right away. Ordered Cajun seafood package. My daughter also ordered michelada. I'm not a drinker but tried a sip and liked it (just a sip, she finished it all). Food came in smoking hot. Delicious juicy and well seasoned including corn. Loved it. Service was good. Definitely an enjoyable dinner. Everybody was happy. read more

Great service and friendly staff. Good quality food and great environment. The all day Sunday happy hour is definitely worth it

Amazing local spot ! Good food and fast service ! Nice ambiance. Great hospitality. Would recommend !

Literally just left there 30 minutes ago. The seafood bag I ordered was really good and I would have gone back based on that. Here is the issue. I ordered catfish and fries. When the server brought out he said "Cod" I immediately said I ordered catfish. He said oh yeah catfish. It was obvious that it was caught so I asked my server. Was this card or catfish? She said oh it's catfish. I told her lady I'm from Mississippi. This is not catfish.. I guess you figured I was just trying to get something taken off of the bill, but she said she checked the box it came out of and it said catfish. Long story short, the bill said cod on it! Even after saying the bill, she said it was something technical with the register system. My problem with the service is I think the people there will be very dishonest and if you can't trust your server, you can't trust the restaurant. read more

Craving Crab Haus - This is clearly COD not Catfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Riverside, California

This place is pretty over priced for what you get it was $120 for two people. Just two pounds of shrimp, tiny snow crab legs and a side of Cajun fries. Overall it is okay but I wouldn't say amazing and definitely not worth the price. The drinks included with the meal were super watered down and the lowest quality of liquor. Service was decent. Restaurant is over crowded with lots of tables. read more

Craving Crab Haus - All you can eat tray!! Round 1 - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Riverside, California

This spot is a total gem. The interior design is stunning, and the menu is clearly crafted with care. Everything we ordered was 10/10. What really elevated the meal, though, was the service. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great, but the service really stole the show. Joaquin was our server, and he did an amazing job--super friendly and kept everything moving perfectly. If you go, ask for him! read more

Absolutely terrible. Please don't waste your money. It's hard earned and gas prices is too high for you to pay for an absolute trash experience and food. We watched another table struggle eating their seafood and that's saying something. read more

I visited this establishment on Dec 24th (Christmas Eve) and ordered right before last call on my way to Big Bear from San Diego. That was definitely my mistake and I take full responsibility. I ordered a pound of crab legs, corn, potatoes and sausage and a lemonade. The BEST part of the order was the lemonade. The corn was ok, I could've broken a tooth biting into the potatoes, the sausage disintegrated in my mouth because it was cooked/boiled for too long. Last but not least the crab legs were not edible because they were covered in a greenish/black substance that could be barnacles, mold or signs of freezer burn. Either way that made them not edible. I threw the bag out after taking pictures. I contacted management today Dec 26 when I got home from Big Bear and they told me I would have needed to KEEP THE BAG OF SPOILED FOOD ( keep in mind my hotel room had no refrigerator) and give it back to them to get a full refund. I assured them I had pictures and had proof of purchase because I also took a picture of the receipt. They still refused to refund me for something that was THEIR fault. That is a horrible policy especially when dealing with something as delicate as seafood. 0/10. I will be disputing this charge with my bank and their horrible customer service just made it easier. *** Update: In order to do damage control I'm being accused of eating majority of my order. Not only is that untrue, you can see NO crab legs are broken open and the bag is still full. I took a single bite of one potato and one piece of corn and ate one piece of sausage before I moved onto the crab legs which I immediately saw had those markings. That is why the leg is detached, not because I ate it. This establishments inability to take responsibility and also accuse me of fraud is even more reason why you should not eat here. You have no proof that I ate the food, you're just assuming I want to scam you because I can dig your boil out the garbage of the Lake Arrowhead Resort and show it to you. They did not explain any food temp issues on the phone nor did they warn that placing an order at last call could affect the quality. Do not eat here. They had an opportunity to take the high road here and instead took it to hell.** read more

Craving Crab Haus - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Riverside, California

Me and my boyfriend just had dinner here on a Sunday night and boy kinda wished we didn't. After waiting in the car for almost 40 minutes I had enough and checked on the wait. I understand that it is a full house on a Sunday night, but the least someone could've done was just let us know they'll be with us in a minute. We had 5 or 6 people just breeze by doing different tasks and making eye contact but not saying anything. When I finally wave someone down, I come to find out they had already crossed our names off and sat down 2 more parties after us. Why put down a phone number slot but not call the number when it's our turn? At this point, I was already hangry, we sat down and immediately ordered our food. We got the luxury set for 2, and the best part out of the set was the fries... Me and my boyfriend used to be regulars but it had been almost a year since the last time we were here. The restaurant had changed the crawfish they used and even though the crawfish are bigger, they were harder to peel and was never a clean peel. The crab was over cooked and because they were, those were hard to eat too. At one point while we were eating, we were watching the Latina server make 6 trips to buss a table outside, the restaurant is pretty big, I would suggest getting a buss cart to help with the heap of dishes the server have to carry all the way to the back. At one point during the task she sat down to text on her phone... we were really disappointed with our meal tonight in every aspect and dont think we'll be coming back here. read more

Cravin Crab Haus is officially one of my FAVORITE spots! The food is beyond good -- rich, flavorful, savory, and honestly unforgettable. The Happy Hour is just as amazing (yes, even on a Sunday ), and the waitresses are always so kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience that much better. The restaurant itself has kind of a dark vibe, and the foam in the windows is a little odd, but the décor totally fits the seafood boil theme. The bar setup and light fixtures are super cool and definitely add to the atmosphere. If I had to nitpick, I'd say a little more space in the seating and walkways would make it even better -- but it's nothing that keeps me from coming back. My ultimate recommendation? Get the boil with the Whole Shabang Bang sauce, and don't skip the garlic toast. The best part is dipping that toast in the leftover sauce after you've worked your way through all the meats in the boil. Total game-changer. Between the great food, great service, and great deals, Cravin Crab Haus easily earns 5 stars from me! read more

It's for sure the best seafood boil in the area. Portions are awesome for what you pay and service is fast and on point. We've been here a couple times already and it's never disappointed! Happy to see this place finally get the flowers and recognition it deserves :) read more

Katie was the best! Great server and experience. Will definitely come here again when I'm in Riverside.

Service was good. Our waiter was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed or wanted. Ambiance is so so. Not what I expected. The food was very salty. Even my young grandchildren could not eat as much as they wanted to. They did not taste like they're fresh; that's why they're probably trying to mask it by putting lots of salt. I was disappointed. I was looking forward to having cajun shrimps etc., but could not eat to my heart's content because of the food being very salty. And not just one dish. Everything we ordered was very salty. read more

Craving Crab Haus - Shrimp whole shabang - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Riverside, California

Craving Crab was a complete disappointment. The shrimp and pan roast were decent, but everything else -- especially the fries and calamari -- was bland, flavorless, and clearly thrown together without care. The service? Practically nonexistent. We were checked on once, left with empty cups the entire meal, and no one ever bothered to ask if we needed anything. Despite that, they still added an automatic gratuity. Their website says it's for parties of 8 or more, but their in-store policy says 6. That's a shady inconsistency, and I can only assume it's intentional. And here's the kicker: the automatic gratuity feels like a free pass for staff to do the bare minimum -- or less. Why bother giving decent service when the tip is guaranteed? That's exactly what happened. Zero effort, zero care, yet still collecting a tip like they earned it. To make things worse, our server brought the wrong drink (strawberry lemonade instead of regular), corrected it, but left the wrong one sitting on the table. Since no one ever came back and we were left with empty cups, my sibling took a sip out of sheer thirst. When the bill came, we were charged for the drink we never ordered. I told the server, and she said she'd remove it -- then came back and said she couldn't because it had been sipped. Are you kidding me? It was your mistake, your neglect, and somehow we're paying for it? Bottom line: Craving Crab is the kind of place where mediocre food meets lazy service -- and they still expect a tip. The automatic gratuity is just a way to get paid without earning it. I won't be back, and I don't recommend wasting your money here. read more

When we walked into this establishment we were excited to find a new place to enjoy our crab boil. However, when we were to b seated the hostess proceeded to sit me and my family all the way in the back. So far in the back that we were nxt to the employee break area. Bags, portions of uniforms hugged the area we were told to sit in. I asked the hostess if we could sit elsewhere but she said there wasn't any where else to sit. I looked around and the entire outside was free with no one sitting outside!!!! And in the "main" sitting area there were numerous tables that had no patrons in or around them. I wanted to speak to the manager but she said, "These are the only tables available!" Im no sure why, but these folks didn't want me or my family to eat there! I WILL NEVER EVER EAT AT THIS RACIST PLACE!!!!! I WILL NOT!!!! read more

170/2024 Seafood is the best! First visit here was sure very filling. My daughter's dinner treat sure is sweet! It wasn't that busy on a Sunday early dinner time around 5pm in this Lousiana themed seafood restaurant. Our server was very attentive and accomodating, always made sure we were satisfied with everything we ordered! Bibs were a must if you care plus disposable food prep gloves were also provided! Got the garlic butter sauce with 2 lbs snow crab legs 1lb shrimps Quartered Potatoes 4 pcs Corn on a cob Plus a whole dungeness crab and steamed rice !!!! Had the mild sauce on the side and with squeezed lemon wedges flavor was so on point ! Not too spicy after all. As another dipping sauce surely so flavorful that made the crab meat more yummmmy!!! Well what can I say eating dinner was messy but super delicious eating with the hands!!! read more

**LEGAL ACTION WILL BE TAKEN AS I AM LOOKING INTO LEGAL ADVICE! MY SON WAS LEFT WITH FOOD POISONING FOR 3 DAYS!** I hope the papers served taste better than the crab legs and catfish you gave us. Auto gratuity is posted and we were advised of it as well which we were fine with assuming we'd be getting the customer service we're having to pay for. We never got that. Our server was tipped almost $40 only to be seen going our front to be on her phone, didn't give us refills until we were almost done, and never brought an item we asked for. There was no understanding to that and you claimed due to city policy and guidelines you can't remove it. I'll tell you one thing, you made it sound nice. But according to Code Enforcement, gratuity is solely decided within the establishment. I suggest you start training your servers to provide the service you're charging for. The food wasn't consumed it sat there on the table for anyone to look at due to it tasting nasty. I was told due to it being a live animal there was nothing you could do but offer another order. Isn't catfish a live animal as well? Sounds like a whole bunch of excuses dressed up nice to me. I suggest you learn to take your losses where they come and do better as to treating your guests as paying human beings and deserve the proper hospitality especially when dining at a seafood location. Your ethic as a manager is horrible work on yourself as well. read more

Craving Crab Haus - All of the crab meat none of which was eaten due to it tasting wierd and left me sick the next day. Wasn't refunded. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Riverside, California

The food was amazing, our server was attentive. I've been here 5 times already and will continue coming !

I'm extremely disappointed with the way I was treated at this restaurant. When we ordered, our server told us one price for the crab, but when the bill came it was much higher than what we were quoted. I politely went to speak with the manager because I thought it was simply a mistake that could be corrected. Instead of helping resolve the situation, the manager became aggressive and completely unprofessional. He started yelling and cussing at me, pointing his finger in my face in front of the entire restaurant, and even went as far as calling me a "broke bitch." I have honestly never been treated that way in a place of business before. No customer deserves to be spoken to like that, especially when they are calmly trying to resolve a billing issue. A manager should know how to handle concerns respectfully and professionally, and this was the complete opposite. I would strongly caution others before dining here. The food might not be the worst part of your experience -- the way customers are treated might be. read more
