Bag O' Crab

I was super excited to try this place. I don't live in the area, but I took advantage of stopping by on the way to a conference in Oakland. I ordered the combo of shrimp and clams with the garlic butter sauce. The sauce was delicious, but I wish they had a seasoning with all flavors that was non- spicy (I asked, they don't). As soon as I checked into the hotel, the first thing I did, after a few pics, was dig into that bag that smelled delicious from pick up. I went straight for the shrimp. To my disappointment, the shrimp was mushy. Two BIG reasons for that: 1. Shrimp NOT fresh OR 2. Cooked too long. Either way, I was disappointed. You know the feeling of being excited about something and it not meeting those expectations. It was hard to eat because shell was difficult to part from meat. This place isn't close to home, so I doubt I would give it another go, when there are other places I would rather try out now.

Four of us dined in on a Friday at 2:15 p.m. for a late lunch. This place is huge with outdoor patio dining. This time was selected to avoid larger groups for safe dining. We ordered a medley of items: fried oysters in a basket with Cajun fries, fried shrimp in a basket, shrimp in Cajun spice and garlic noodles. We especially enjoyed the garlic noodles and the fried oysters! Those were definitely the top two items. Service was friendly and excellent, and they were very accommodating. I enjoyed watching sports on the many TVs. Everyone enjoyed their meal, and we'll definitely be back to try other items.

We tried this place for dinner tonight and were impressed with the friendly and attentive service. We ordered combo #3 with snow crab legs. The seafood was fresh and not overcooked. Garlic noodle was nice too, went well with the seafood. NBA was on so the place was a bit noisy but that didn't bother us. We'd come back again for sure. 😋

First time here with my friends and it was PHENOMENAL, it was my birthday and the waiter Belinda made the overall experience GRRRRR-AATTTEEEE! As well as the food, it was literally beyond great!! DEFINITELY check out this place if you love spicy (or non) seafood 🦞THE GARLIC NOODS THOUGH, HOLY ISH! GET IT! You will not be disappointed!!

Interesting, stopped to try out. Had fried chicken tenders with regular fries, fried Shrimp with Cajun fries, fried calamari with garlic fries. Consistency with the fries is great, crispy, flavored correctly. The Shrimp and chicken were fantastic the calamari seemed a little chewy, but I ate them they tasted good. Bar wise; had a racer 5 , but they have. Afull bar.👍 They don't substitute salad or fries for soup not even with up charge. I think there hating growing pains. Service and food were good enough to go back for a second try. Be in mind we didn't or weren't prepared for the "Bag "O" yet. Yar! Go for it.

Hubby and I have a standing lunch date on Wed, so we chose Bag O Crab for our most recent lunch. We decided to start a bit safe for our initial visit. We each ordered lobster rolls with garlic fries and did take out. They were very tasty. ❤ The lobster meat was tender and sweet, the rolls were the traditional split top style. The garlic fries were some of the best fries I've ever eaten. I mentioned it to friends, and we're planning to go again for a dinner. I really appreciated their thermal take out bag. Our fries were nice and warm and crispy when we got home to eat. 😉
