We heard this place was delicious so we had to try it. The service was great everyone was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is cool it's a huge restaurant plenty of room. We ordered the combo basket. It's a little messy even though we wear gloves, a bib and use a ton of napkins. It is still messy but so delicious. The shrimp is so tasty. You should give this place a try it is so yummy !!! read more

I really hate writing bad reviews, and only do so when I get "mulitple" bad experiences from the business. Simply, place went to complete crap after the manager (Michael) left. 1) Service quality is horrible, 2) muliple mistakes on mulitple take-out order over the past couple months. 3) Food quality went down BIG TIME (whoever runs this place no either has absolute no experience in food quality, doesn't care, or the kitchen has no respect for em and doesn't listen). Example, mulitple times we couldn't eat the crawfish/shrimp because it was bad. Clam chowder inconsistant, times un-eatable, soggy fries for DINE IN (not fair to complain about soggy fries for togo). I could go on, but that's just a few examples. 4) Staff has no connection with the customer. I have no idea what happened, however it is obvous whoever owns this restaruant made a BIG mistake! I notice business has been down big time, perhaps the owner will become HUMBLED and come down to earth. It sucks when owners THINK they know what they are doing when they are THE PROBLEM. My advice to the owner, look in the mirror and reconize that YOU crashed the business. If your thinking of changing the concept, you will have the same issue because YOU are the problem. Great Job, find a different business to invest in! read more

Great service on togo, great tasting sauce on the menu, the mild lemon pepper sauce is fantastic. While only togo, the vibe aesthetic of this place is pretty well focused. Ambiance is great but was pretty quiet maybe because of new years. Overall great experience. read more

This place is a hit. Does not disappoint. Seafood is very is very tasty with a good amount of spices.

For takeout maybe.... Sat down during happy hour... or at least I thought, the waiter claimed happy hour ended an hour earlier than advertised. Once we received our food (Mid) no one checked up on us the entire time we were there. Not to mention, we found an unidentifiable object in the food and the waiter couldn't explain what it was.. we still paid for our food despite there being foreign objects inside. not even an apology was offered. No customer service at all. Overall, spend your money elsewhere. read more

Seafood was fresh and great service. Will be back for sure. Large portions enough to share and bring home for next day lunch. . read more

Parking, plenty. Place is spacious. Have a mini arcade at the entrance cool to use to pass wait time. This place is my whole family's favorite. Food is always served hot & fresh. One thing we all mentioned though was the lack of ice & refill of drinks. Easy fix for that is to bring yourself a canteen with ice water. Even still, everything is great. Portion wise more than enough to split between two. Definitely get more bang for your buck. Servers are always friendly. Restrooms were clean. read more

Food is off the charts, service is down to earth and the ambience was absolutely incredible

Food was amazing and fresh and the server Thalia was very nice and brought out everything on perfect timing

My son chose his birthday dinner at Ocean 9 Crab. This place is definitely a great place to take your family to. The food is family style (they also have individual dishes) and it's flavorful and large portions. We had the Combo 2 and it fed four adults with left overs. It had 2 lbs of shrimp and a whole crab with a flavorful Cajun sauce. The garlic noodles were hearty and tasted great. My niece had the fish and chips and they were good as well. Now for the service. The service was great! The main waiter was very funny and friendly. He brought my son a piece of cake with a candle and spelled his name out in candy toppings. We didn't even know he was going to do that, so it was a great surprise! He then gave 2 little Pokémon toys to my son and his girlfriend as a kind gesture. The assistant to the server who was cooking, bussing tables, and running food was also very friendly and asked us if we needed anything multiple times. You could tell he was new but he was very nice and personable. I am definitely happy that we tried this place and we will be back. Thank you!!! read more

I went to get some get food today at Ocean 9 and the food was really delicious I did a takeout food was really delicious I appreciate that

Love Ocean 9 Crab! Location is perfect. This is a hidden gem in Antioch! I go here at least once or twice a month. Delicious food and great service. read more

Still needs a lot of improvement on the taste of their food and to their service. I like it that they have a big space to accommodate more people but needs to work on the items I mentioned. Also, there is a funky smell towards the area to the bathroom, i am not sure where is it coming from because it is close to their kitchen as well- the stench is not pleasing more on suffocating scent. Fyi, we're very hungry when we went there, i thought we will ravage everything we ordered but we did not. Price is okay so we will not complain much but I think I agree on the other comment that the food is not hot/warm. There were also some foods that they said are not available during our visit. read more

Food was excellent and on time. They should work on their quantity though. Taste of the food was beyond expectations! Wonderful service and Emily. S you rock!!! Keep up your good service! Love it! read more

Let me say this is the best thing that happened to Antioch Ca!!!! Yesterday 3/4/22 was my bday so I decided to try this place out and baybeee when I say from the moment I walked in I knew it was going to be fire just from the smells. I ordered crab, shrimp, corn, and potatoes oh and we added beef hot links. We also added garlic noodles and got the fried lobster with shrimp and fries. Everything was sooo good it was like a party in my mouth lol we got it mixed with everything and the hottest sauce and I was the happiest person ever lol. I don't know the guy name who took my order but he was soo cool. I told him it was my bday and he surprised me with cheesecake and sung happy birthday to me. I just want to thank him cause he made my day with his gesture. If you live in the area this is most definitely a seafood place you should visit and the atmosphere was very nice. Thank you ocean 9 you guys are dope!! read more

Ocean 9 Crab - A broken sharp shell found in my rice - Seafood Near Me - Antioch, California

We were craving "Boiling Crab" but didn't want to make a far drive so Yelp brought us here! This definitely satisfied the craving, without the hour long wait - in fact, we were able to walk right in and came right before the Friday dinner rush (around 7pm). The staff is super friendly and engaging... the service was fast and thorough... and the food was delicious! We got shrimp with a mixture of all three sauces (I believe they refer to it as the "ocean shabang?" But I could be off), rice, corn and garlic Cajun fries! The shrimp sauce had what tasted like a hint of bbq sauce, so it was a little smokier than other Boiling Crab dupes, but still super tasty! Prices were fair and all seafood was priced at market value per usual. read more

We order from Oceans 9 Crab & Seafood whenever family visits. We love the Cajun shrimp, which is delicious. The clam chowder is creamy and tasty, especially when served in the sourdough bread bowls. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. The portions are generous. We recommend Oceans 9 for anyone who loves seafood. It's our go-to spot for a reason! read more

I was not expecting live crab in Antioch of all places! This place is AWESOME! The service was great, the place is clean and the food was fantastic. The clams were absolutely delicious. The garlic noodles were so-so, and the crab was pretty much perfect. We'll definitely be back! If you're local, save yourself a trip to SF and get your crab fix here! read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would, really POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, they'll have you waiting 30 mins plus just for your food.

I WISH this place was closer to home. Actually, probably a good thing that it's not as I would come here very, very often! My family and I go to discovery bay a few times a year and have ordered from Ocean 9 crab a few times to go. Each time has been so good. The food is excellent and so is the service (makes the to go process quick & efficient). Love that they give bibs, gloves, lime, salt and pepper and everything you'll need for a great experience at home. Make sure to ask them to double bag it or your car will smell like garlic for days. Here's what to get: - the combos are a great deal - the shrimp (head on) - the crab - all sauces are good BUT lemon pepper and their house Cajun is The best. - extra corn, in difference bags of sauce read more

Once a month, this is our spot to meet at. Now that me and my sister are moms, we don't have much time anymore to see each other. But we never question each other when we text "Ocean 9". Staff if so friendly, they won't forget to check on you. Food is great! (Never thought wings would be good at a seafood spot!) Place is always busy. Specially on a Friday. Music always playing and nice to be hable to watch some sports as well while eating. read more

Too expensive and was flavorless. I had the shrimp and crab boil bag. Maybe other things on the menu taste better

Service was okay, not as friendly as the first time we were here. Everything seemed well packaged and piping hot at first. However, once we started eating we noticed that some shrimps were still cold. The Cajun sauce is delicious, but not a lot in the bag. read more

Food was good I got mines to go for the price I paid my wife and I definitely got our moneys worth.

I've been curious about this restaurant for a while now, mainly because of the coupon flyers they have with the other Valupak coupons. My other half and I went there around 11:40 am (they opened at 11:30). We were told to sit where we like to by a young man behind the counter. We sat in a booth and chit-chatted while waiting for a server. The young man behind the counter brought menus to us and took our drink order. As we waited for our server to come back we saw other customers begin to trickle in which is good for the business. Our server came back with our drinks and we ordered our lunch which was the Combo Bucket #2 (We chose 2 lbs. of shrimp with head on and a whole crab with the garlic butter sauce without being spicy). After a little while our food arrived. Once we put on our bibs and our plastic gloves, we opened up the plastic bag that contained our lunch. Along with the shrimp and crab, our meal included, "...-4pcs sausages -2corns -2potatoes." The food overall was pretty good. The shrimp and crab tasted and looked really fresh. The service was good too. Multiple employees checked on us. Overall a good experience and would recommend this restaurant. The only reason why I took off a star in my review was because the shrimp was overcooked a little bit; the "-4pcs sausages" we're actually 4 slices of sausage; and non-food related, but still important, were the gloves that we were given to use while eating were so thin that after I removed them after the meal my hands had a clear, oily film on them. read more

Great little hole in the wall. My fiance found this place passing by one day. We decided to try it this weekend. I got the seafood boil in a bag. A whole lobster and shrimp head off and potatoes with corn. The price was amazing not over priced. The seasoning was to perfection. Service was quick and efficient. My only complaint was they Were Short staffed so a lot of tables were dirty that is why i gave 4 out of 5 stars. We did not stay We took our food to go but was not disappointed at all. If you are in the area I definitely recommend trying this place. read more

They are the only seafood boil business withing 30 mile radius. So basically, they can be skimpy on the food. I give it a 4 star just because of the food portion! Remember, when spending $100+, you have leftovers to take home? Now.... it's impossible. Seafood Boil is the only thing I don't know how to cook! One day I will learn! But the food is Great! read more

Crab is always better when you're by the ocean and the Ambiance was great and everyone was nice

I don't understand how this place is still in business. I ordered the poor boy fish sandwich, which came with the thinnest piece of fish, very little lettuce, and tomato even after I requested extra of everything. Perhaps other items on the menu are better, but their fish is awful. I also ordered the fish combo, which was also terrible. All the fish was hard and overcooked. The fries were the best thing, but that's not saying much. My friend recommended this spot while I was visiting Antioch. What a huge disappointment. If there are other items on the menu that others can recommend, maybe I'll give it a shot next time, but right now, NO NO! Overall, one star, and I wish I could give it no stars. read more
