“Clean, inviting, and friendly. I had such a great experience dining here. My waitress Christine was very attentive, friendly, and had great recommendations. Really enjoyed everything we got! The poppers & pickle spears were nicely breaded. Great crunch and flavor! The inside of the poppers was creamy and flavorful. The garlic noodles were so so good and not too garlicky, just the right amount! The boil itself definitely stole the show with its combinations of flavor and spice that just balanced each other out nicely. Definitely will be back!“
“I can see why they call this Aces! It is definitely the top of the deck when it comes to Louisiana boil complete with potatoes, corn, crawfish, shrimp, clams, mussels and the most delicious broth, this was a meal to remember. Also got gumbo which did not disappoint!“
“The "Mardi Gras" pasta at Bud Louisiana cafes is a true delight! The combination of shrimp and crawfish sautéed in a sherry tomato cream sauce with capers and mushrooms creates a burst of flavors that will leave you craving for more. The pasta is perfectly cooked and topped with a generous amount of Parmesan cheese, adding a delightful touch to every bite. The dish is so delicious that it transported me into a ratatouille dream-like state, and before I knew it, my plate was empty! If you're looking for a mouthwatering and satisfying meal, I highly recommend trying the "Mardi Gras" pasta at Bud Louisiana cafes. As I am not a true food critic, there was no thought of taking a picture of the dish. But I will include the carnage“
“Definitely in my top 10 seafood boil restaurants. I definitely recommend you get Jalen as your server. We got the pound of crab with shrimp and torpedo sauce, medium and a couple of add-ons . definitely had an amazing sauce. We even added extra definitely recommend. It was a definite bus down !!! 9/10“
“Was craving some seafood while in San Diego so we did the Google thing and ended up at King Crab. Everything in our order was fresh and delicious down to the last bite¡¡¡ The sauce used here is on another level, it really did compliment the seafood boil¡¡¡¡ Even the breaded Lemon pepper chicken wings were nothing shot of phenomenal....??????“
“This place is genuinely incredibly. For the price, the experience and the quality of the food, it truly does not get any better. Weezy, the front house worker, is on their game! We got a build your own boil, and let me tell you the house sauce is absolutely perfect! Mild if your less into the spice, and medium to hit you just right! I truly cannot recommend this place anymore!!!“
“When I visit my grandaughter KIJANE. We always have dinner at Louisiana Purchase restaurant ? I always get cat fish and macaroni and cheese and a vegetable. My grandaughter introduce me to the owner and he was very kind and professional. I recommended my friend's to visit the Louisiana Purchase restaurant. Yummy ? ?“
“My late mother was from New Orleans. When mom died, so did the wonderful food that I grew up loving. I thought I was through with my southern diet. Well, I was wrong. The Boiling Crab is as close to Moms cooking as I know I'll ever get, and it is almost the same. I just ate two servings of Gumbo. This Gumbo is stuffed with sausage, shrimp, and okra, and served with rice in or on the side. Tabasco sauce is supplied in packets. I used one on the Gumbo, and later, I used one on my ice cream. The broth was the perfect blend of the ingredients, with a taste if it's own, not overpowered by any one of the ingredients. At my age, it is hard to find something to excite me, but I can't wait until dinner tonight. This meal brought back memories, but even if I had just eaten it for the first time, I would rate it number one. The Boiling Crab is not only a restaurant, to me, it is an art gallery. The chefs are artists. The servers appear to enjoy seeing you happy, and management appears to not be willing to let you leave unhappy. If you love seafood, you can't do better than "The Boiling Crab." Thank you for the great food. I'll see you again tonight.Parking: Located in what was once a bank. It sits in a shopping mall. There is parking everywhere. Including in front of the restaurant.“
“On the final night of our time in San Diego, we were craving seafood and luckily found Crab City! We barely made it before closing but we were warmly greeted and they carefully and thoughtfully prepared our meal to take with us, including additional provisions to make our experience on the go more convenient. The seafood was absolutely delicious, the Cajun sauce is amazing, and it was as fresh as fresh can be! Absolutely elated with the experience and cannot wait to visit again next time we’re in town! Wonderful food and staff!“
“Found this little gem when I was waiting for my tour at the Whaley House tour. I only had the French Onion soup, but it was delicious. It is perfect for a quiet romantic dinner away from the bustle of Old Town.Parking: Old Town has free parking lots“
“TIM WAS BEYOND AMAZING!! MY FIRST EXPERIENCE HERE WAS UNFORGETTABLE! I ORDERED TAKEOUT AND I WAS GREETED WITH A WONDERFUL CONVERSATION AND WARMING ATMOSPHERE!! I WAS RECOMMENDED TO THIS PLACE BY MY SISTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE IT WAS AMAZING!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!“
“This was so so delicious. The staff is attentive. The place has clean restrooms.I got the cajun seasoning and it was so flavorful without being too salty. It was so good I will be coming here often.Its pricey but its worth it.This restaurant has nice decorations too.“
“I tried literallye writhing on the menu Loved it Tasty but not salty This chef can cook A bit pricey not crazy but I'll tell u the food really is worth the price Service was great Quick on time But as far as a Resturant there wasn't one it was literally hand delivered only Wasn't a bad experience w it was just different either way the food was crazy good. yesss chef“
“Delicious! I've had the Po-boy (shrimp) several times and it never disappoints. They are shy with the amount of shrimp they add and they are always fried perfectly. Sweet tea is a MUST but the homemade lemonade was just the right amount of sweet!“
“Great food and service, but a tiny bit overpriced compared to other spots like Submarine Crab. However, it was packed so folks clearly don’t mind!Highlights:-The corn is sweet and crunchy and well marinated-tons of sausage if you order the addon-seafood was good (but honestly all the seafood at these boil restaurants taste the same, so it’s the other things that differentiate)-the boiled veggies (separate order) was surprisingly goodLowlights:Loose gloves, no little trash can for throwing seafood shells away“
“The food was amazing. I had my first Poboy, WOW! We heard about this thru Guy Fieri's show. The music ? was jammin! I was in town visiting from Green Bay, WI and we went out of our way to find this place. Well worth the drive. The atmosphere is casual but fun. Thank you!“
“I went to Crab Hut and I had a pretty good experience. I've been there before so I pretty much got what I expected. The good part is at the food was outstanding and the team service was pretty good. The part that maybe wasn't so great was how long it took for the waitress to get around to us. Sometimes we would watch her as she was having conversations with other workers and laughing a lot and overlooking us as I was trying to flag her down. That was a little frustrating. The food tasted great though and yes it was messy but it's supposed to be messy lol. They were very nice to my children and I liked that a lot. The price is heavy though. If you're going to go there you had better bring about $250. Especially if it's going to be a family of 4. You're not spending less than $200.Vegetarian options: I honestly didn't see any vegetables except potatoes and corn. I can't confirm that there are vegetarian options.Parking: If you go on it's going to be a nightmare to park. I'm not going to lie man it's so hard to park that you will be circling that tiny parking lot forever. This was probably the worst thing about the trip.Kid-friendliness: They are very nice to kids. This was probably my favorite thing about the service. My son kept grabbing at the waitress and she just laughed and played with him and the other guys who were cleaning up tables or also making funny faces and laughing with my son and he's two years old.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is wheelchair accessible.“
“Last weekend, we decided to go for a crab bake at Crab Hut and ended up sampling two of their enticing dishes. The restaurant was a well-organized space adorned with a charming oceanic theme. We ended up sitting outside in the sun and it was amazing, although the interior was equally inviting. Parking was a breeze, especially if you opt for the southern end of the lot rather than vying for a spot directly in front of the establishment.Our dining experience kicked off with stellar customer service. It's worth noting that a gratuity of 18% is automatically included in the bill—an arrangement we found reasonable given the exceptional service we received. In fact, our waitress went above and beyond, promptly seating us with a warm smile and attending to our needs with remarkable attentiveness. Despite the tip being pre-added, we felt inclined to add more as a token of appreciation for the outstanding service.Turning to the food, we started with a serving of calamari and fries. While the portion sizes justified the price, we found the calamari lacking in flavor and seemed overcooked. However, the fries salvaged the appetizer, boasting a satisfying crunch and delightful seasoning.For our main courses, we opted for the Spicy Cajun Pasta and the Spicy Jambalaya. Both dishes were executed flawlessly, with the pasta perfectly cooked and infused with just the right amount of spice to complement the succulent shrimp. The Jambalaya, teeming with an abundance of seafood and meat, surprised us with its robust flavor profile. Though I would have preferred a bit more heat, the dish still left a lasting impression.In conclusion, our dining escapade at Crab Hut left us with a generally positive impression. While the appetizer fell short of expectations, the exceptional service and well-prepared entrees more than made up for it. We look forward to revisiting Crab Hut in the future for another taste of their enticing seafood offerings.“
