I've been looking for a seafood boil in the east bay, and I'm glad I found one. This location is in…read moredowntown San Leandro. They have free parking in their parking lot up to 1.5 hr. On the app when paying, there is a code at their front entrance wall, type it in and it'll be free. This place sits a party of 10 quite comfortably, so everyone can enjoy their seafood boils! Their recommendation sauce was their Louisiana (Mild); they said it's like a "hot Cheeto" level of spicy, but I went with their Garlic Butter (Mild) and it was DELICIOUS. A lot of flavor, not overly salty, and tasted best with their side of rice. I loved how they have COMBOS as well. One of their combo served 1lb of head-on shrimp, your choice of clam/mussel and 2 corn, potato's and sausage for a reasonable price! Their customer service here is really friendly, and your order is served by a robot. Once your item arrives, you grab it and click done! I'm really happy that I don't have to go all the way to San Jose for my seafood boil fix anymore! Boiling Crab was my go to, so if you like there I'm sure you'll like Bag O' Crab too. The only thing I would pass on is their fried chicken sandwich (too dry) and their sweet potato fries (overly coated with sugar).

I've been to the Bag O Crab in Berkeley and had a great experience, so I was excited to try this…read morelocation. Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. There was about a 20-minute wait before we were seated. We ordered wings, fries, garlic noodles, and our seafood bags. Some of the food came after our seafood bags, which was frustrating. I ordered Combo 2 with snow crab and 3/4 lb of head-off shrimp, potatoes, and sausage. I specifically chose no-spicy seasoning, but my bag was still spicy. There also wasn't much sauce, and what was there was too thin. The other person who ordered a seafood bag agreed that the sauce wasn't thick enough. I was honestly very disappointed with my seafood bag. The potatoes were served whole in the bag, and I only ate maybe 2 or 3 pieces of sausage and I can tell the corn is frozen prior to cooking. It's very mushy. I spent around $65 total on the bag, fries, steamed rice, and can soda. And I honestly felt like it was a waste of money. For $65, I expected the food and overall experience to be much better. The wings, garlic noodles, and fries were good, so those were definitely the highlights. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not compare to my experience at the Berkeley location. Another downside is that the drinks are bottled or canned, so there are no refills. Service could have been better as well. And honestly, the first red flag was the bathroom. It was horrible and made a bad first impression before we were even seated. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this location. I expected much more, especially after having such a great experience at the Berkeley location.

We did get seated right away at a high top table, which we didn't mind too much but it was in an area a bit more secluded. We ordered an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert and the bill did come out to be on par with a nicer restaurant. However, we didn't appreciate that the tip suggestions were based on the after tax total rather than the subtotal. * Focaccia - 3/5 as it was a bit dry and was plain even though the menu listed rosemary & herb. * Paradiso's Chicken Picatta with Linguini - 3.5/5 Pasta was a tad overcooked and kept breaking which made it hard to eat. Chicken was big and mostly juicy except for one thinner end that got a little dry. I did really like the lemony sauce. * Braised Short Ribs with Mash Potatoes - 4/5 Good portion short ribs, the sauce was great and meat was very tender. Only con was that some of the carrots were on the raw side. * Bananas Foster Bread Pudding with Vanilla Gelato 4/5 Good dessert, but pecans didn't taste candied and would have liked the bread pudding to be warmer than it was. We'd give it a 3.5 overall and would give it another try sometime. However for the price, we thought it fell a bit short of expectations.

Firstly, the sauce was super flavorful and a perfect consistency. Ferry hot packs a kick without being overly hot. None of the seafood was overcooked at all. The clams were so plump and juicy! Also tried the cajun shrimp roll which was super buttery and yum. Garlic noodles and garlic fries were solid not complaints. Got a side of garlic veggies as well as their passionfruit drink which were both refreshing. Great service. It's a small little spot with only a few tables, but a lot of people do take out. Very hole in the wall vibe. Definitely wanna be back! Overall: 4.8/5

I ordered the snow crab and shrimp with the Lemon Crab seasoning/sauce, and the flavor was a solid 10/10. The crab meat was incredibly easy to get out of the shell and tasted fresh and delicious. One thing to note is that the snow crab only comes in 1 lb portions, so there isn't an option to order a half pound. I also added corn, potatoes, and sausage, which paired perfectly with the seafood boil and soaked up all that amazing sauce. My order was ready in about 20 minutes, which was impressive considering how busy they were. The only downside was that they forgot to include the tools needed to crack the crab legs, which made eating them a little more challenging once I got home. Overall, I had a great birthday meal and would definitely come back. I'd give Lemon Crab an 8.8/10! Also for reference my order was $68

We left absolutely stuffed, happy, and already talking about what we'd order next time. The seafood was fresh, but the real star of the show was the sauce. We went with the "All of the Above" option, and that sauce deserves its own Yelp account. Rich, flavorful, buttery, garlicky, and packed with just the right amount of kick. Every shrimp, crawfish, and mussel became a delivery vehicle for that liquid gold. Great portions, great flavor, and a perfect spot for a family meal when you're craving seafood and don't mind getting your hands dirty. We came hungry and left completely satisfied.
