Came here for a Saturday night dinner with a group of four. There were open tables available, but it still took a little while to get seated. Overall, the service was slightly slow but still tolerable. We ordered the shrimp, sausage, mussels, Cajun fries, and wings. Pro tip: ask for gloves, since they don't provide them initially. The sauce was flavorful, but unfortunately, the shrimp didn't seem as fresh as I would have liked. When peeling the shells, they weren't coming off easily, and the meat was slightly soft, which can be a sign that the shrimp wasn't at its freshest. Overall, this is a very solid spot that has everything you need when you're craving Cajun-style shrimp. It's a great place to satisfy that craving without having to deal with as much of a crowd. That said, while the overall experience was good, the quality of the seafood was slightly lacking. read more

Highly recommended! Crab was cooked perfect and came out nice and clean (can't say that about other crab spots in the area)..The place was not super busy but we were glad about that.. we came in about an hour before closing.. Lily took care of us and she was great! So sweet and friendly ! We ordered "hot" for our boil, we did ask for our bag to be sent back for a little more spice:: and they did add the "super hot" which was still great flavor, just not super spicy compared to other crab boil spots we have been to. But the flavor was very very good and still had the spicy .. but now we do know we can even go up a level which we will do the next time we come back! The entire place was really clean! The one suggestion I would make is that they do need better napkins.. like paper towels because they just give basic small napkins and it isn't nearly enough. Other than that.. loved it ! We will be back ! read more

Food is always great! Service is always amazing. Never long wait to be served. Hidden little gem read more

Phonie is the best ever! I come here just for her service. The service is excellent here my cup is always topped off and the "table touch" at least once every 15 minuets. The ambience is cozy, but yet feels large. The music in the background is not too loud or blaring. It's almost like white noise to where you could enjoy your conversations. Now, let's get to the food. They have reasonably priced combos. The crawfish is cooked well and packed with flavor no matter which sauce you choose. I hope you recommend this place. It's for sure a hidden gem with little to no wait time. Thank you Phonie! read more

Service is good and the food is even better. I recommend this place to anyone who likes seafood boil

This is my all time favor shrimp place. Sauce is thick and tasty. Service is awesome! Most times I call to place an order and I pick up in 15/20 mins. The ambiance I nice. Small place so if you go with a big group, it might be a wait. read more

The lady that was serving us was so sweet and kind. She recommended us the snow crab with shrimp and her recommendation was spot on best seafood I've ever tried and the wait wasn't long. We were often checked up on and had refills whenever we ran low. A nice feature about the restaurant is that it had an easy accessible sink nearby to wash your hands after you eat. Overall 11/10 experience :) would most definitely go back! read more

Loved this place will recommend anyone who wants Cajun shrimps I will come here often and bring family and friends.

Good place to come eat. Food was of great quality. Clean. Affordable. Shrimp, sausages, potatoes were delicious. Highly recommend.

My Stepson wanted King Crab legs. Our go to is normally Boiling Crab. However, last time it was sub par and expensive! So I came to Yelp for help. Well, Yelp did not let me down this time. This place is DELICIOUS! The King Crab was meaty! We ordered the Duo Combo which is King Crab, Shrimp, Corn and Sausage all under $85!!! We also added a LB of Naked Shrimp (peeled and deveined) and a LB of Clams. The Naked Shrimp were big and the Clams were probably hands down the best Clams I have ever had! They were super meaty and the Bucket Medley Sauce just puts it over the edge. The sauce was so good that I was literally drinking it! My boyfriend does not do well with spice so we ordered the sauce mild. It had a kick to it ( according to my step son and boyfriend; they're white) but I didn't think so ( But I'm used to spice; for context I'm Asian and Mexican). The Cajun Fries were so crispy and well seasoned. They arrived nice and hot. Fountain Drinks are refillable. They also gave each of us a small cup of pineapple ice cream for dessert! It was refreshing and cleansed the palette. This place is in a mini mall type plaza. There was plenty of parking. The restaurant itself, was very clean and decorated like most crab boil places. They had great music that wasn't too loud so you can talk like a normal person and not have to yell to have a conversation. The Service was amazing! We were instantly greeted when we walked in with a friendly Hello and smiles. They were happy to have us and quickly sat us. The food came out quick and was hot. They came around every few minutes or so to check on us and to refill our drinks. This place was a great experience. I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good hearty seafood meal. We fed 3 people (Adults) for under $180, tip included! Give this place a try, you won't regret it! We will definitely be back! This is now our go to spot. read more

The food was great! Food came out pretty quick! The ambiance of the place was nice and calm. They give you a lot of fries when you order! The seafood was pretty delicious also! read more

This is probably the best value you can get for your money. Definitely cheaper than anything we have in the Bay Area! We were randomly craving a seafood boil, and found this spot not too far from our hotel. We ordered the Dungy combo 1 which comes with 1 lb of shrimp, 1lb of clam, and 1 WHOLE dungeness crab. It also comes with 2 corns, potatoes, and several pieces of andouille sausage, so there's no need to add these on unless you want extra. The whole shebang was about 80 dollars and so worth it for two people! There are several other flavors to choose from, but we went with the original cajun with mild spice. I thought this was a great option, especially for someone who'd never been to The Bucket before. Next time though, I think I'll try something else! In terms of the seafood, I thought everything was pretty 'fresh'. There were a few clams that weren't opened (which, growing up, I was always told by my parents meant that the clams weren't fresh) but otherwise, the shrimp was juicy and the crab was quite meaty and sweet. I assumed that most of their seafood had been delivered frozen, but regardless, things didn't taste like they'd been sitting in the freezer for long. We also ordered the cajun fries, which are 100% worth it for the extra calories. I, later on, found out from my SO that it's just regular fries with Old Bay Seasoning and maybe a few other spices. But honestly, I don't care. Take my money. read more

Hello food was ok, Ambiance was peaceful but the Waiter literally harassed us on our way out demanding for a tip. Will for sure not come back to get harassed again. read more

My favorite shrimp in the bag spot. Sooo fire! The service is great and they have great hospitality. Highly recommend.

If could give zero stars would. Unprofessional and racist employees. Never will return. Service is horrible. Tried to give them another chance after finding hair in food. Never again read more

It is the service that I really appreiciate. I was doubtful at first. I am not a huge fan of this type of seafood. Very messy etc, lol. But overall, it was much better than expected. We asked for water and lemon, and the waiter brought us two large glasses of water and a huge pile of sliced lime wedges. The bread was heated too. Really nice touch. read more

Went to Bucket Crabs last night for my nieces birthday dinner. My cuñao ordered 4 lbs of shrimp, corn, sausage and potatoes with the bucket medley spices. I have to say it was very delicious! Oh and a level medium for spicyness. Food was hot out the bag. Perfect seasoning and like i stated earlier, delicious! Come check them out. Will definitely return. read more

The food is somewhat okay. It's local and easy to navigate. However, the food is over priced and soft like it's been in the pot all day. And probably all night. I ordered a pound of snow crab and a water. Before my food came a roach crawled on the side of me. I was sitting right next to the kitchen. My server removed the roach. I continued to wait for my food and began to eat. I then saw a 2nd roach in which my server had to remove it again. I was disgusted. Although I was given my money back, this place is very unsanitary and made me sick to my stomach (literally). Just drive the extra miles and go to boiling crab. read more

The best ! Flavor , freshness and when you get it it's still hot not cold as other places when you order takeout. read more

Amazing service and great food. Small inside needs to expand just my opinion. Make reservations read more

Great food and reasonable prices. They also sell beer this place is a nice little hole in the wall spot. All hands on deck for this seafood

2 lbs crawfish. $39. Terrible. Tasted like they were boiled in plain water and then dropped in a bag full of tomato sause. read more

Food is alway great, out of 10 i will give them an 8 for service, place is small specially on weekends theres always a wait.

The food is amazing 10/10 but the service isn't. I come here quite often and I usually tip at the end of the service but the one time I didn't the following times I went the service was horrible. When we walked in the servers looked at us and instantly talked talking about us. They checked up on every table but ours they completely ignored us, no refill no nothing just a check. Tipping isn't mandatory when the service is horrible. read more

This place never disappoints, best Cajun shrimp ever! Lee's service is amazing, he always goes above and beyond giving the best service! Thank you Lee for always treating us so well, definitely keeps us coming back! Must try! read more

I have been eating here for 5 years and feel that the food and service from the staff are very good, always enthusiastic, even offering to take pictures for my family. Never had any complaints about this location. It's always the seafood restaurant that my family and I think about on holidays or relatives' birthdays read more

The aesthetic was nice, I tried the pound of shrimp and it was pretty good I also got sausage pieces, price wasn't bad and the service was amazing, they even gave free refills on beverages. Would highly recommend!!! read more

I walk in there at 3:03 pm today I said party of one the waitress said I could sit so I sat down. She didn't say anything else just disappeared. She came back I didn't get acknowledged she was setting up a table it was already 3:14 I asked her if she could take my order she responded yes could you wait in a rudely manner. I'm a server my self and I've been working in the food industry for more than 10 years as a server it doesn't take you more than five minutes start of the client with drinks and get appetizers going. Once she came to take my order I order 1 pound of whole shrimp bucket medley added potatoes and side of cajun fries. I asked her if she had bottled water she said no once again in a rudely manner I had my own bottle water but like I said I work in the food industry so I was trying to consume, I asked her what drinks do you have she responded the menu says what we have in a rudely manner. That's not good customer service as am paying for my food and I'm tipping out I don't want to consume from a place that's giving me that treatment. I told her to cancel my order that she's being very rude and that's not the appropriate way to treat a customer. She didn't apologize or try to make things right she just said ok. read more

I personally love coming here. The food is great, the service is the best, Peonie & Oscar are always so attentive. 10/10 !

This place is my all time favorite seafood boil place!! I found this gem late one night when I was craving crab and I'm so happy my husband and I found it. They have so much variety. We love the crawfish & crab! Of course can't forget to add shrimp. Our favorite is 2 pounds of crawfish 1 pound of shrimp with sausage & 1 pound of crab( separate bag tho) Flavor go to is the bucket medley !! mild spice( perfect). An honorable mention appetizer is fried calamari (recommend) so crispy it's perfect. Sooo delicious and the size of crawfish is freaking awesome too. Now service is always amazing with Peonie, she actually showed us how to eat crawfish properly the first time we ever came here. The vibe is also great, they always have good music playing and tv on as well. When we get asked what place we recommend for seafood boil ( since we are foodies) we always recommend this spot. We have brought many friends and family members and they love it & the price is pretty good too. read more

Love the food here. I always get the King crab, but I've tried their lobster, crawfish, mussels, clams and shrimp. Everything tastes delicious in their bucket medley sauce. Service is good, very friendly and always kind when ordering over the phone or in person. Place is small, but they can usually seat you right away depending on how big your party is. Overall love this spot and will keep eating here. read more
