BEST SEAFOOD BOIL SAUCE I like it better than Boiling Crab (less oily) and the wait there is doable (they also got yelp check in ftw). The free 2 tries to grab a doll for a free item is fun but I've never won (and I'm pretty good at that game!) so claws a bit weak. I like their weekday specials too pretty great incentives to keep coming back for the perks. Food is bomb. Garlic noodles for the kiddos and shrimp crab sausage for me! Raw oysters always fresh (but boo for no tabasco only tapatio). Skip the fried shrimp it's all batter. Tips: if you like your food piping hot like me DO NOT let them dump out the bag on the big platter. Instantly cools the food. Sign up for their membership it's only $10 and you get free bags of shrimp as a welcome gift and build points. Service is a hit or miss. We went last week and they kept forgetting our beer which sucked. We sat at the back table so avoid that if you can. Overall a solid 5 star spot! read more

Giselle was out waitress today. Seemed like she was solo for the first 20 mins. She was doing well tho, juggling seating, ordering, and food delivery. Cajun chowder was the last to arrive and last to be finished because it was inedible. Sadly we think they likely burnt the pot and served us the portion with the least burnt pieces. Giselle was very kind and replaced it for us right away. We ordered the combo for 2 today and so glad we did! We got to try a lot of different things we probably wouldn't have ordered otherwise. The house sauce is the same as shabang sauce. Cajun garlicky buttery goodness! They are soooo generous with the sauce here! LOVE IT! We got head on shrimp and clams. I think our bag came with more clams than shrimp but I was full at the end of the day so it didn't bother me much. The shrimp is as expected, feels fresh. Head was good, not spoiled. If you eat shrimp head you'll know what I mean. Clams were on the smaller side but I mean I think we're not exactly in clam season right? the combo for 2 comes with 3sides. We got the Cajun chowder, gumbo, and sweet potato fries. OMG the Gumbo was DELICIOUS!!! We got ours with rice. How you eat Gumbo w/o rice??? LOL. It was much sweeter when you eat it after your boil since the boil is on the saltier side. At least today it was. Sweet Potato fries were also perfectly fried! Likely made from frozen but still very good! Cajun chowder (see above) Food and experience was still so good this is probably my go-to spot for seafood boil now! Love that they are so generous with the seasonings. That gumbo was fire! and the prices are competitive. They also have napkins and gloves right at your table! PERFECT!!! My only 2 complaints were: 1. if you knew you burnt the chowder, why serve it? it was inedible. It's cheese. there's no saving the pot once it's burnt. 2. Music was a bit too loud, restaurant wasn't even full and I was having trouble speaking with my partner sitting across from me. read more

This is one of the better seafood boil spots I've been to, especially when it comes to value. Their combo deals are priced really well and give you a good amount of seafood for the money. The seasoning was flavorful, everything tasted fresh, and the portions on the main boil were satisfying. My only complaint would be the appetizers. They tasted good, but the portions felt a little small for the price. Other than that, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. If you're craving a seafood boil and want a solid deal, this place is worth checking out. read more

Ordered the combo for 2. Good food, good atmosphere, and friendly service. First time visiting and will definitely be returning. read more

Grab A Crab - Combo For 2 - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Short wait time + ample parking. We ordered a pound of shrimp and cajun chowder, both of which were delicious. However, my cousin who I came with, was fat-shamed by the waitress when she was taking our order. Then, when I asked her for salt + pepper and lemons for our seafood boil, she only gave us the salt + pepper which I would assume was an accidental mistake if I didn't see her giving another table salt + pepper AND lemons. For the rest of the night, she proceeded to stop serving our table and checking up on us so we had to ask another server for help with water refills and the check. Incredibly disappointing experience when we were looking forward to eating here ruined by the service. /: read more

Dare I say this is WAY better than the almighty boiling crab??? Wait times are WAY less, huge parking garage, plenty of seating, and great service! The inside is large, clean and spacious. The combo for 2 truly is the PERFECT amount, left us stuffed! You get so much for the price & the flavor of the boil itself, delicious. Not too greasy or salty like boiling crab can be sometimes. Grab a crab is most definitely our new go to spot for seafood boil read more

Grab A Crab - Combo For 2 - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Came here for the first time wanting to try some an alternative for some cajun broil. Came here on a Saturday night and waited for about 15-20 mins which wasn't too bad. Line started forming when we got here so came at a good time. Plenty of seating and tv's for entertainment here as they were showing cartoons one one tv and the basketball game on another so definitely ideal for a family here. We were given 4 tokens; one for each kid for their claw machine. However, the claw machine wasn't as friendly as I didn't see anyone win that night. We ordered their Combo which came with sausages, shrimp, potatoes and clams. They did forget our clams at first. Appetizers we chose their sweet potato fries, lemon pepper wings and gumbo. Food overall was ok. The flavor wasn't too bad as it's comparable to other cajun broil places. Just wasn't a fan of the corn as it wasn't really cooked properly. Pricing here wasn't bad and service was ok. Friend said they came a couple of months ago and still getting their alcohol license at the time. When we went, they were still waiting for their alcohol license so be warned that they don't serve alcohol here yet. read more

Came to Bag O' Crab on a Sunday night and the place was packed, but our server Kain was incredibly attentive and helpful the entire time. We ordered the Combo #2, which came with four appetizers and four classic seafood options (including crab). Everything came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. One of the fun perks here is that you can earn tokens for a chance to win free items, which adds a nice extra touch to the experience. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're craving seafood with great service! read more

Came on a tuesday and they gave is 4 tokens for a party of 6 for the claw machine. Sadly we didnt win any plush but we were close. Ordered 2 lbs of crawfish, combo for 2 with onion rings and upgraded calamari and popcorn chicken. My friend decided on getting the membership which was 10.99 or 11.99 and you get 2 lbs of seafood, appetizer, and 5% cashback. Her kid wanted the snowcrab so tuesday was the best day because it was 14.99/ cluster. This only happens on your first membership purchase, otherwise it will just be their daily specials. I ordered rice but it was really dry. I didnt like that they brought it out first and since it was busy, it took about 20 minutes for our boil to come out. By that time my rice was kind of cold but since i mixed it with sauce, it was bearable. The crawfish was also frozen. Sauce needs more garlic but i guess to some this amount would be perfect. Limes were cut soo small you had to squeeze 10+ to fill your salt and pepper cup. They give you a clamp and scissors to cut the snow crab so thats a plus. No alcohol yet but i was told they would have it im a month. Will have to check after March or april. Service was great, my water was refilled multiple times. read more

This location of Grab A Crab is in Monterey Park in the Atlantic Time Square. There is parking in the underground structure. My boyfriend and I have been fans of Grab A Crab since we've been to their location in Hacienda Heights so I was happy to try this new location. For those who have not been to Grab A Crab, they are a cajun boil restaurant. A fun attraction they have are their crane games where each table gets tokens and you can win ingredients for your boil. This location is smaller than their Hacienda Heights location but it seems less busy. They have a Yelp Waitlist you can hop on if you come during a busy time. We came here with my boyfriend's friends, so there was a total of 4 of us. It made sense to get their Combo for 4 ($79.95) which comes with 4 Classic Seafood, 4 Classic Appetizers, 4 pieces of sausages, 2 potatoes, 2 pieces of corn and 2 eggs. We added 2 corns ($1.75/each). For the classic seafood we picked 2 lbs of shrimp, 1 lb of crawfish, and 1lb of snow crab legs, which there was an upgrade for. And for the appetizers we picked the fries, onion rings, gumbo and chicken tenders, which was also an upgrade ($3.50). We actually added another lb of shrimp ($11.99/lb) after we finished the first order. We all enjoyed the food for the most part. Their shrimps were big and juicy. The crawfish were decent for not being in season. We did observe a few things like less garlic in the sauce. As for the sides, the chicken tenders were surprisingly good. The fries and onion rings were average. Too heavy for me to eat too much of it, but good for the boys to fill up. Service at this location seems to be lacking. Missing items like the salt, peppers, limes, sauces for appetizers, multiple follow ups. Keep having to waive them down for things. It's funny that this location is less busy but less on top of things compared to their Hacienda Height location. Great spot for a Cajun boil, especially when you don't want to wait. Their combos used to be a lot better but they've split them into classic and premium items, and a lot of the items we used to get are now premium and requires upgrade. Nevertheless I can see us coming back. read more

my friend and i stopped by after seeing the resturant on grand opening back a while ago - the interior was decorated nicely and smelled like seafood (as expected haha) - we ordered the combo for two (4.3/5). we picked two shrimps for our classic seafood with mild spicy and the grab-a-crab house sauce. for our classic appetizers, we got fries (regular & cajun) and cajun chowder. we also asked for lemon, salt, and pepper on the side. the whole meal was very filling as it was indeed enough for the both of us. however, it was a bit on the salty side as we continued eating the seafood but it wasn't really noticeable on the saltiness in the beginning. - we got two tokens to use on their crane machine to exchange for free food..however we didnt win anything but it was a fun little thing that this resturant had. - the service was fast and the workers assisted us with our needs overall, this was a nice seafood boil place to try out read more

I am glad that Atlantic Times Square is somewhat reviving. This is one of the newest establishments that I have been meaning to try. My wife and I shared a combo for 2. We got mussels and shrimp, cajun chowder, sweet potato fries and onion rings as our side. Everything tasted fresh and I did not get explosive diarrhea afterwards unlike at boiling crab. Service was great. The only negative is that they did not have draft beer although it was on the menu. read more

Grab A Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Food is good . . Even though it has been loosing its touch . Came here about a week and half ago & it didn't hit like usual , we always ask for it slightly undercook to avoid the mushy & it was so mushy . My girl loved her but I told her I didn't hit for me . The wings are not the same for when we first grabbed them . The second time was different & the 3rd time they were very disappointing . I have a picture when we first ordered the wings and they look so tasty and appetizing. This last time they looked as if they were old wings . . . We also tried to dine in prior to the time when the wings were terrible & we arrived to the front door at 9:25 they told us . We can't dine in no more . So we somewhat understood . And today we arrived at 9:17and we were denied tables again due to slow business. When we were told last table sit down is 9:30 Very disappointed we drive 35 min to get here knowing we would make it on time . But nope . They also denied dine in service to another couple . I get it times can be slow . But you had 2 customers ready to spend . Sucks that this was our go to , cus it might not be anymore . So much for the new business location to thrive . ( hangry ) mind you this may be very irrelevant but b.s aside I'm on 5 days water only fasting . I kid you not I was going here just to break my fast and eat delicious . Maybe next time I guess . Even though I work from 7 am to 10 pm and I be getting out of work just to come here and make it on time . Lolol . So sad I had to come express myself here read more

We randomly discovered this place and honestly can't believe how good the deals are. Everything was already reasonably priced, but the specials took it to another level. They normally have a combo deal for two people (around $46) that includes 2 pounds of seafood (shrimp, clams, etc.), sausage, potatoes, corn, two sides, and a fried item. We were planning to do the 2-lb shrimp combo, but when we came in on a Tuesday evening, they had even better offers. We got 5% cash back on the entire bill and snow crab legs for $14.99 per pound, which is an incredible deal. On top of that, we signed up for their membership ($10.99/year), and it immediately paid for itself we got 2 pounds of shrimp for free (1 lb for signing up + 300 bonus points). Total no-brainer. The shrimp quality was great, huge size shrimps and fresh.. The sauce was really good as well. Minor note: everything is served in a large cylinder-style plate, so the sauce pools at the bottom and you have to dig a bit to get it (similar to a bag at Boiling Crab). Not a dealbreaker, just something to note. Huge shoutout to our server Ahrian!! incredibly kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations. Service alone made the experience even better. The ambience was fantastic: vibrant colors, fun wall decor, lots of TVs, and a lively atmosphere. When we walked in, they even gave us two free coins for the claw machine, which was such a cute touch. If you win, you get a free meal, which is such a fun incentive. One important note: while the food is amazing, this is not a place I'd consider safe for toddlers. We have two-year-old twins and came for date night (without them), and after seeing the setup, we wouldn't bring them here at this age. Also, if you're someone who sucks the sauce off shrimp heads like I do...be careful. I ended up poking the inside of my mouth because the shells were very sharp and bled a little. Overall, we had an amazing experience! food, service, deals, and atmosphere were all on point. We're already members now and will 100% be coming back read more

What a wonderful experience! Grab A Crab in Atlantic Times Square across from the Marriott was great taste for great value. It was empty at open at 12 on a Saturday. To start, each table gets two tokens to try out the claw machine for a fun start to the dining experience. We ordered the Combo for 2 which includes 2 classic seafoods, 3 classic apps, 4 sausages, 2 potatoes, and 1 corn, and added a pound more of shrimp for our party of three for about $70. There wasn't enough sauce originally, but they kindly provided us more at no cost- and that sauce is good! It's flavorful, thick, and garlicky. The shrimp is the star of the show, and the mussels were nice to try but not worth a repeat. The lemon pepper and Cajun fries were both good options as well. read more

Everything here was super tasty! We got the sauce that was a combination of all three sauces, and I highly recommend. The combo pots were also very good value. Service was quick and efficient. The funnest part of the experience was that each table gets two coins to play their crane machine. You can keep the plushy if you're able to grab it, or you can exchange it for free items on the menu. Super fun and great value, tasty food. Highly recommend! read more

I find myself going to grab a crab more often than any other seafood boil place now! My friends and I absolutely love their combos for 2 or 4 since they come with sides for a great price! The service has also been amazing. Not to mention, the claw machines are such a great touch to the brand! The chowder is such an underrated item there, and I recommend that as part of the combo! It does get busy at certain times but there's a yelp waitlist, and its also in the atlantic time square so you can walk around while you wait. read more

I really really enjoyed this place actually! I went with a group of four and got the combo with 4 seafood and 4 appetizers, and it was more than enough food for all of us! Plus such a good deal. We went on a Saturday around 6pm, and luckily we got seated immediately. Hooray! Lucky us. The restaurant didn't seem too busy. It gave me nautical vibes and the vibes of any seafood boil place -- well lit and it a nice plaza. Free parking. It was good! The food itself was good. I feel like all the seafood felt on the smaller side but maybe not much is in season? We got the house sauce medium, but it wasn't that spicy. Could've gone a spice level up! They didn't have alcohol yet but it's coming soon, so I'll be back for sure :) read more

Came here the other night with a friend and the place was pretty busy but the service was good. We ordered the combo for two with shrimp and mussels in the house special spicy sauce. For sides we got Cajun fries, fried oysters, and fried fish. The seafood came out fresh and loaded with sauce. The shrimp were nice and big and cooked perfectly with no sogginess. The mussels were on the smaller side but packed with flavor. The sauce was good but a little salty, and the spicy level definitely had a kick. Next time I'd probably go medium. Everything tasted great, including the potatoes, corn, and sausage. You should definitely get a bowl of rice to soak up all that sauce. The Cajun fries were good, the fried fish was excellent and probably my favorite fried item, and the oysters were just okay. They also have a membership you can sign up for to get some perks. You even get a coin to play the claw machine and try to win food or plushies, which is pretty cool. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Grab A Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Monterey Park, California

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by how short the wait was. From the start, service was friendly, efficient, and attentive without feeling rushed. We got the Combo for 2, which is a great value and perfect if you want to sample a little bit of everything. For our seafood picks, we chose the deveined shrimp (definitely worth the $2 upcharge) and the snow crab legs. As for appetizers, we decided on the fried calamari, cajun chowder, and onion rings. Everything came out piping hot and tasted super fresh. The house sauce was rich, garlicky, and packed with flavor. A fun little bonus: you get a token to try your luck at the claw machine. We gave it a shot (no win this time), but it added a playful touch to the experience. The only downside is how tightly packed the seating is. Tables and chairs are pretty close together, making it a bit tricky to navigate and not the most private dining setup. That said, the food and overall experience definitely outweighed that minor inconvenience. I'll absolutely be back the next time a seafood boil craving hits. read more

12/21/2025 - I read the Yelp review regarding a recent 1-star rating, but noticed many 5-star ratings recently, I decided to come at 12:00 PM on time when the restaurant was just opened a few seconds to avoid any bad service experience from a 1-star rating from one customer! As my expected, the food like Seafood Lovers (choose 2 lobster tails) we ordered are excellent, especially the garlic butter sauce dish. The other two flavor dishes are based on "Lemon pepper sauce," and "House sauce on shrimp". Recommendation: To address a poor service referenced in one of the Yelp reviews as 1 star, the restaurant may follow many chain restaurants' method to offer a cup for water or let guests get a drink by themselves, meaning, a patron do not have to wait for a waitress or waiter to come to deliver water to a table. read more

Customer service at this place was great, no issues at all. They sat us down right away once we added ourselves to the wait list. Took our order pretty quick and were always attentive. Food quality was pretty good, all flavors were delicious but I would have to say lemon pepper was by far the best. Ordered shrimp, crawfish, the Dungeness crab, garlic noodles and garlic bread. Shrimp was better from the three. Place can get packed real quick. The garlic noodles had way too much garlic for my liking but it can be perfect for others. I honestly had no issues with the place but one thing and that was the "Market Price" of the Dungeness Crab, I have never paid $75 for a Dungeness crab in my life, I feel like this was over priced on purpose because the current market price for this type of crab is not $75. Either way place was good but would definitely stay away from the market price items. read more
