Service was nice and friendly. My group ordered two sea food boils and a cheeseburger with fries. My sister and I had the pineapple margaritas. Everything was delicious. Margs were a good nice size, coated rim with chamoy and tajin. Seafood boil food was priced at market price. A little pricey but totally worth it. Will definitely return when I come back to Cali.

I liked it. Bought the seafood boil for $100 with crab legs and 3 other meats. It’s expensive but service was really nice and friendly. Food was good. Only complaint is price but everything is expensive these days unfortunately. Definitely would eat there again.

I really wanted to like this place but was a little concerned about cleanliness and menu prices - in which all seafood is market price - all seafood. A little worn down and not overly busy. I had the peeled shrimp with corn and it came in the plastic bag it was boiled in. You get a bib - and that’s a good thing because you’re going to get your hands into your entree sooner or later - it is a bit messy. Good wasn’t bad - just not exceptional.

I work for the city where this crab is located...and I was in full uniform and I went in and respectfully (didn't want to feel entitled) ask to use the bathroom it was an emergency and I even Pleaded with her (begging)...she was so mean and rude and refused me!...saying " bathrooms are for customers "...but there were NO customers in the place!!!!...I felt disrespected

Located in long beach, you can find the crab shack.It’s one of those spot where you should be willing to get your hands dirty to eat good but they do bring you plastic gloves to wear if you’re not willing and they also provide you with a bib and wet napkins to clean up at the end.Location:Corner restaurant off busy streets with lots of street parking around, I don’t believe I saw a private lot for parking but everything in that area is walkable.Ambiance:Restaurant is pretty big with Indoor/outdoor dining. It’s not anything new or fancy but definitely clean and fits the food options.Food:Delicious! I was never a big fan of but this place was full of flavors and the selection of food was great. You order by the pound and you can mix seasonings per order and add tons of sides as well. They offer things like fish, crabs, potatoes, corn, and more. Everything came out hot and ready to eat within minutes.Service:Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I was Immediately greeted as I walked in, and sat down right away. My visit was during the week so it wasn’t busy at all, I’m not sure how weekends look like. Staff checked on us enough times to make sure we had everything but not too many were it was annoying lolDefinitely a good a spot to come have a meal with friends or family and have fun eating and making a bit of a mess.Enjoy!!

My husband and I enjoyed our food. We had the snow crab and peeled shrimp and both were amazing. They give you plenty of food as well. The service was great. This was the best meal of our trip!
It was our first time coming here I got to say the food is pretty good but for what the price that we paid I wish there was more shrimp and the crab legs that we ordered for 1 lb each it felt like it was a lot of money that we spent on it the flavor and seasoning was on
Great seafood! Amazing oysters and crab! Service is great! I'd like to come back to try other items. Casual ambience with the checkered table cloths. There's indoor and outdoor seating options (they ask you to pay after ordering if you sit outdoor).

We were in town the night before leaving for a cruise out of Long Beach and The Crab Shack was recommended by our Uber driver. It was only about a block away from our hotel, so it worked out perfectly. This is one of the best seafood boils I've ever had. The Cajun seasoning was bursting with flavor and they were not stingy with the sauce. Somehow we were lucky enough to get a table without any wait and our server was so attentive. The outdoor seating by the fire was so cute, but it was a bit cold so we decided to sit inside. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Long Beach. So grateful to our uber driver for such a solid recommendation.

I had my food delivered and had ordered a lemonade and paid for it, and NO LEMONADE!!!???????. And basically was told that, it was Door Dash’s fault and there was nothing they could.. (or WOULD) do!!! I was SOOOO frustrated!
