Ray's Crab Shack offers a seafood lover's dream, with a wide variety of fresh and flavorful options. The garlic noodles, marinated prawns, and seafood boil in Cajun sauce are standout dishes, though the lack of proper cutlery can be a minor inconvenience. The ambiance is nice and romantic, with great service to complement the delicious food. The restaurant has a festive, seafood-themed atmosphere and lots of wait staff to serve guests, making it suitable even during busy times. Portions are generous, and the food is consistently good, with some dishes like the seafood boil and garlic fries receiving praise for their flavor. The seafood boil in Cajun sauce and the Ray’s combination bag are popular choices, and customers appreciate that weekday lunch specials offer good deals. If celebrating a birthday, guests can enjoy free ice cream. However, some may find that Cajun bag meals taste quite similar to those at other Cajun bag restaurants, and the restaurant automatically adds a 15% tip on receipts, which some diners may want to be aware of beforehand. Overall, Ray’s Crab Shack provides a high-quality seafood experience with friendly service, making it a favorite in the Bay Area.
