This place was actually very good, but rrrreeeealllyyy expensive. My family enjoyed everything we tried as well as the whole experience and messy-ness. We do plan on returning but maybe next time we will be a bit more strategic on how we order as I don't want to take out a second mortgage just for a night out for dinner. read more

Every visit here is consistently delicious! The food is amazing, but what really sets this place apart is the customer service. Ofelia was our server and she was so attentive and kind, making sure not only our table but everyone around us was well taken care of. The ambiance is great, and this spot never disappoints! read more

The shrimp here is always amazingly fresh--much larger and juicier than at other restaurants, which keeps me coming back. The crab shack garlic fries are perfectly crispy and addictive. When I visit with my kids, we always go for the family size, and the combination of fresh shrimp and flavorful sauce is simply unmatched. With friendly service and a warm atmosphere, this place is one of our absolute favorites. read more

visited on the evening of 4/2 and unfortunately the service really missed the mark. Our waitress (slender build) seemed extremely disinterested from the moment we sat down--very bland and unwelcoming. She didn't offer basics like bibs or gloves, which we ended up having to request from another waitress, who kindly apologized on her behalf. What was most disappointing is that our server never checked on us the entire time--we only saw her again after we had finished our meal. It just felt like there was no attention or care given to our table. The food, without a doubt, was good. However, the portions didn't match what was described to us, which added to the overall letdown. Sadly, due to the lack of service and overall experience, I won't be returning. read more

This place is bomb. It's really good. Great prices and the people that work there really friendly. You need to try this place. Hope to see you there. read more

First time here. I ordered a pound of head on shrimp (crab shack style) mild and it had a lack of flavor. Upon eating my shrimp I found a hair on one of my shrimps. Our server said she'd give us a discount so I was cool with that but didn't even want to finish my food because I was a little grossed out by the hair so me and my son wrapped it up. As I go to pay a $5 dollar discount was applied. $5 DOLLARS OFF!? Really? I was expecting a little more then that or another bag of shrimp especially for the price I paid. I felt they didn't care at the fact that there was a hair on my food. Definitely won't be going back to this place again. read more

Easily one of the best cajun places ive been to. The shrimp taste decently fresh and their house sauce (some short of cajun) was pretty amazing. They give you a decent amount of sauce too. I had leftover sauce that i dipped my fries in. The calamari was decent, just too much breading. I could barely taste the calamari itself. It is a huge portion with fries though, so that's a plus. The best part is, they have gloves so you can keep your hands clean. Service here was good, they constantly checked in to see if i needed anything. Definitely will be back! read more

Phenomenal seafood boil!!! The cause is amazing, and they have the best muscles!!!! Service is great, and the place has a cool vibe. The game is always on!! We will definitely be back! read more

Is it not obvious that they do not clean the seafood before they put it in a bag and cook it? Shrimp having intestinal tracks. They need to be removed before cooking or you're eating all the crap that's in there. Shellfish need to be scrubbed and the beers need to be removed from the muscles. None of that happens. I get grossed out every time I see people going into restaurants like this because they do not clean their seafood prior to cooking. read more

This is the go-to place for my wife who loves seafood. My daughter and I love the burger and fries here as well. Food is awesome! Service is superb! The staff is so nice. read more

First time visiting. Service wasn't the best HOWEVER, they made up for it with the food. We ordered a pound of shrimp/medium/potatoes/corn. It was AMAZING!! The cucumber agua fresca was delicious as well. read more

Food was amazing, the lady who gave me my food was a little rude, place was super empty so didn't feel comfortable dining in!

Went for dinner with grandma kids. They loved it. Ordered snow crab and shrimp. They left satisfied. I would go back.

Food was delicious. Service was great. Ambiance is good quiet, clean, you could actually hear the conversation at your own table. The experience was excellent as far as we are concern as a client having a awesome friends bonding after several months of not seeing each other for month. Moments of truth: We were OVER Charged for foods we did not order. Charges were added such as Garlic fried rice and crab meat. Our bill were over $178 dollars for orders of Combo 2 plus 2 blueberry lemonade and soda fountain. without realuzing other charges at the lower section of the itemized receipt. We are taking accoundability for not checking the bill thoroughly. But this stablishment is not trustworthy. Customers beware. read more

We had planned on going to another place after seeing Fiddler on the Roof at the nearby La Mirada Theater, but when we got there the menu didn't suit any of us. A few doors down was The Crab Shack, the menu looked good, so we went there. The atmosphere was fun and it smelled amazing. We ordered the soft shelled crab appetizer with onion rings, sweet potato fries, a burger and clam chowder. There were three soft shelled crabs, so perfect to share with the three of us. Crispy, juicy and flavorful, I'm still thinking of them. The onion rings and fries were delicious as well. The clam chowder was THE BEST we'd ever had!! And we are clam chowder eaters!! Real clams, in their shells, as well as large clams, celery and potatoes-sooo good! The burger was big, juicy and had bacon in the patty. I got two to go for hubs and son at home. The service was excellent, good suggestions from the server. Very nice establishment. I'm so thankful to have stumbled onto this little gem. read more

We ordered chicken tender (comes with fries) and a pound of shrimp for takeout. The box they put the chicken tender had a black stamp of their logo. However by stamping the box, the ink managed to splattered into the ventilation hole and ended up on the fries and one of the chicken tender. We didn't want to make a big deal so we decided just to try and eat around it and call it a day, but as we went to eat the shrimp we found a hair in the sauce. It was a short black hair and we knew it wasn't ours since we all have long black hair. Also my sister who was handling the food had her hair secured back and was wearing a headband. At this point we lost our appetite and decided we wanted to get a refund. So we gave the store a call and explained the situation, they then told us we had to bring the food back to get the refund. Im not mad about the food quality because I know stuff like this can happen and it's nobody's fault. However I am irritated that they made us drive all the way back just for us to get a refund and on top of that we received no apology from the employee for the inconvenience this caused. In fact they made us feel like we were the one causing them inconvenience. Thats why Im giving this place a one star. Poor service and a lack of sympathy for their customers. I usually don't write bad reviews because again i know stuff like this can happen and I try to be understanding but the fact that we didn't even receive even a simple sorry just shows how little they care about their customers. read more

Hey this is alan, I was at your restaurant today for my birthday and being honest the food was extremely fresh and tasted phenomenal.

We opted to try this place once we were unable to add ourselves to the waitlist at boiling crab. There was no wait here, we were seated right away. We ordered a pound of shrimp each. They are unable to do half orders. We also got fries and garlic noodles to share. The garlic noodles were tasty but they were lacking some spice. The sauce the shrimp comes in was good but different than what I'm used to. The fries took longer than anything else to be ready so that was a little odd. We had plenty of leftovers and the server even offered a to go cup for my drink. read more

The Crab Shack - Love from. The owner. This dude can cook - Cajun/Creole Near Me - La Habra, California

I was craving seafood boil and ask my friends to join me at crab shack. This was only 10 minutes from my house but I've never dined here until today. I'm not a huge fan of the other popular place (Boiling.....) because it gives me an upset stomach every time I go eat there. So I've decided to give this place a try. We got the number one combo which came with three items of your choice. The clams, shrimp and crawfish were all fresh. However, I wasn't a huge fan of their sauce. That's where my 3 stars come in. And the corn had zero sweetness but the sausage was good. We all enjoyed our margaritas and our server was very attentive. Not bad but the flavor wasn't too exciting and felt it was missing a key ingredient. read more

The food here is delicious, but the restaurant appears to be understaffed. My buddy and I were waiting in line outside to get a table for what appeared to be approximately 15-20 minutes - which we found odd, as we could see inside the restaurant, and we were able to see not one but *two* tables that appeared to already be cleaned and ready for us to be seated (there was only 1 party ahead of us in line). I'm still not entirely sure why they made us wait outside for so long when they could have just seated us as soon as we got into line. After we were seated, it still took quite an unusually long while for us to get our order taken - this is not necessarily a criticism against the servers, as the two servers we saw appeared to constantly be hustling and did not appear to be dilly-dallying at any point (although I could almost swear our primary server seemed to be deliberately avoiding eye contact with us when we were trying to get her attention). A 3rd server would really have been beneficial while we were dining there (even if that would have resulted in higher menu pricing) - who knows, maybe there *was* supposed to be a 3rd server, and they called in sick that night. Luckily, after our order was finally taken, our food was served with great rapidity. Did I mention the food was delicious? In any case, if you don't mind a potentially long (and seemingly unnecessary) wait to get in here and get your order taken (along with less than comfortable seating), I think it's still worth the visit. read more

We were bummed when Oh Crab! Closed recently but found this great alternative. Bag of shrimp, mussels and clams with there buttery sauce and wild spice, was more than enough for a family of four. Reheating it tomorrow will make for a great dinner. Customer service made this place feel homey and welcoming! We are planning our next trip and will try the bag with crab. The gumbo needs a little more seasoning but will try the chowder next. read more

Strangely I enjoyed having the food delivered rather than eating inside the restaurant. The sauce is still a bit thin for my taste but getting extra sauce on the side makes up for that. I'll order delivery again one day. read more

I'm a huge crab fan and we were excited to see this place pop up in our hood! Cute little patio area, nice industrial vibe inside too. My favorite thing, hands down, is the yummy shrimp/sausage garlic noodles or the shrimp garlic rice. both very yummy. So, yeah, the crab legs are good too definitely! We choose the medium heat and it was just a touch of spice, not too bad at all. Just not all that special. Nothing to choose this place over any of the other Crab Pots, Crab Boils, whatever they choose to name the places. But it is equally good, in my opinion. Market prices on quite a few items, so it is hard to tell what the bill will be. Expect a bag of crab legs and 2 dinners to run about $140 or so. That seems to be the average. Friendly enough service, hard to get refills on drinks though... same with getting the bill and receipt in a timely manner. Service tends to be a bit slow. On our first visit, I was impressed when I had full-blown crabby, buttery coated hands that our waitress offered to open the bathroom door for me in order for me to wash my hands. That was very sweet, an extra effort that did not go unnoticed. Thank you! Biggest tip though, get napkins ready prior to digging in to the crab legs bag!! Great spot for seafood needs. CHEERS! read more

Ordered Uber eats from here on a Sunday evening. Seafood prices are outrageous these days. Snow crab was $40 and the crab legs were dry and not meaty at all. I suspect those were frozen for quite some time too. I asked sauce one the side so it wouldn't be so messy when I took the crab legs out. The sauce was super greasy and salty. So I ended up just throwing it away. I basically just ate the snow crab legs with some salt and pepper. Not a good time to order Cajun seafood boil these days. I will wait until the seafood supplies are back to normal. read more

Came at 12pm on Sunday right when they opened. Our server was super friendly and bubbly and when we asked about the drink options, she suggested getting the Blueberry and strawberry mojito (not on the menu!) which turned out to be delicious! You can access their menu through a qr code. Blueberry Strawberry Mojito $7.99 - super delicious and refreshing!!!! Highly recommended. They put whole blueberries which were very sweet and tasty. Clam Chowder $10.99 - very creamy and yummy. Was great on a cold day. Would've liked more clam but it was very tasty. Fish & Chips (upgrade to cajun garlic fries +$1) $13.99 - the catfish was so tender and crisp!!! And the fries were very light in flavor, would've liked more of the cajun spice. Garlic Noodles $15.99 - pretty tasty and came in a huge portion. Had shrimp and sausage included. Definitely had more than enough for a second meal hehe. 1 lb Peeled Shrimp $24.99 - yummy!!!!!! Shrimp was cooked perfectly and were so tasty. read more

The service was great and host very polite. They were fast and accurate for food pick up. The ambiance was calm and friendly during the weekend. The shrimp tasted extra fresh and it's near my house. First time trying it and will be back to try out garlic noodles! Just didn't have lemons or seasoning on the side. read more

I went for lunch there today because they had the most delectable picture of a shrimp basket combo on their Instagram. I was not disappointed. The Cajun Shrimp & Fries was excellent and I'm already considering coming back for it. What I was not a fan of was the below average service in regards to attentiveness. When I asked for a refill on my root beer, it took five to ten minutes to get it. I even had to walk inside from my patio table to remind then. Subsequently, after the server dropped off the check, it took another five to ten minutes for it to be picked up again. Once more I felt obligated to stand up to ask if I needed to leave the bill with the credit card on the table or take it inside to be paid. I understand places get busy and a lapse in attention isn't a deal breaker. But it just seemed to me they are a fast casual place trying to be a full service restaurant. These kinds of problems could have been avoided had I been able to pay at the counter after ordering, and having a system in place where I could request a refill at the same counter. Full service is all well and good, but it requires servers being on the ball and checking each table in their section every so often. It really felt like after I got my food and drink they abandoned me. And that's a feeling no guest should ever have to endure. But, man, those Cajun shrimp do make a case to come back... read more

Food is yummy, their service is fast. Only issue is sometimes the seasoning amounts aren't consistent. For example, the ratio of shrimp boil to garlic might be mostly just garlic or mostly just sauce. Either way, they have the best flavors in town. read more

Not a fan of cajun seasoning(personally, however fam loved it), I like my lobster tail and shrimp with just salt, pepper and lemon. Nice little spot, right size, service was great, fit a party 16 easy by calling in ahead of time. Portions on point and food was great! Only negative, won't hold them on it because service was great, the lobster tail was hit and miss with the amount of meat on them, all good though, the potatoes and corn made up for it. read more

Food is great and like how fast they complete the order. I order it to go and was ready on time.

I'm not going to lie.... when we first walked in I thought we had made a big mistake choosing this restaurant, it was a Wednesday night my husband, myself and another random couple were the only ones in this joint. So of course we immediately got seated and were given menus. I didn't get our servers name and I wish I had, she was so sweet, she actually made our whole visit a nicer experience. Very helpful with ordering and helping us understand the menu. We went with the combo that was Crab legs and three other choices I got 2 pounds of shrimp and 1 pound of mussels. They do offer peeled shrimp but I enjoy the sauce dripping from the shrimps head and sucking on it!!!! It also comes with corn, potatoes and sausage! Then of course there are different levels of heat in the sauce. I got the equivalent to "the whole shebang" I just can't remember what they call it here. I loved it all, you get your little bib and the best part YOU GET GLOVES! So the stinky stays at the table! Lol! The parking is not a problem there's plenty. So there's no fighting or having to wait for a spot. The waitress let us know they are now open for lunch on the weekends so I know I'll be sneaking in for a pound of shrimp!! There's lots of televisions for everyone out there that enjoys watching sports and they also sell alcohol! Five stars for the service and because this is my favorite kind of food!!
