We arrived at 8:30pm and the host informed they were closed for the evening. Why advertise you close at 9pm online and your website, when that is not accurate. The restaurant closed 30 minutes early. Please update your hours of operation to reflect you close at 8:30pn and not 9pm.

The 'crab town' seasoning is delicious but it's so expensive here. You pay market price which I personally don't like in seafood restaurants. Especially since the last time I came in half my cluster was empty shell đ

My spouse and I tried this place yesterday for the first time. Tasty, yes. I awoke in the early morning hours to a stomach ache and vomited for the next 10 minutes. My other half also woke up in the middle of the night to a painful abdomen. Not worth the violent retching and sleepless night. Weâre gonna take our seafood cravings elsewhere.

I absolutely loved the food. Iâm a big Crab eater and love the boil in a bag where you pick your own seasoning. My wife and I have completely different taste buds so this gives me the opportunity to have really spicy and her have garlic and butter. The food is great the staff is friendly and the atmosphere as small as it is has really good vibes and cool decorations. I will be going back soon

I didnt even eat it all. if they was gonna skimp on the seafood, try maybe providing more potatoes and corn and such.
they brought the food in a bag as if it was worth being in a bag. Just put the one crab leg and 5 shrimps on a dang plate and call it a day. because it's not a seafood boil at this point.

ăFood safety concernă Please read before you dine here!!!
What happened during my visit to Crab Town left me feeling deeply uncomfortable, and honestly, DISGUSTED. I'm not someone who typically leaves negative reviews, especially when the food is actually decent. The ambiance was casual and fun--great for seafood lovers and families. Weâve been eating here on a monthly basis, but would NEVER come back again.
But during a recent afternoon visit with my 4-year-old son, I ordered a half portion of snow crab ($19), some boiled veggies, and a kid's meal. The crab came out in a plastic bag with two clusters. Since they were hot, I placed them on my plate to cool while we started eating.
Then something truly shocking happened: A staff member came back and told me they had accidentally served me a full portion instead of a half, and asked if I'd like to pay more. I politely said no, since I had only ordered a half.
She then put on gloves, reached into my plate, and took one of the crab clusters away--clearly intending to serve it to someone else.
This was incredibly disturbing. If staff are allowed to take food from a customer's plate and return it to the kitchen, what does that say about their hygiene practices behind the scenes?
No matter how decent the food might be, this kind of behavior is unacceptable. Customers deserve to know their food hasn't been previously handled or served to others.
Crab Town â A Flavor-Packed Seafood Boil Experience in Convoy
Nestled in a bustling plaza in Kearny Mesaâs Convoy area, Crab Town is a go-to spot for Louisiana-style seafood boils, drawing a big crowdâespecially on weekend nights. The atmosphere is lively and casual, perfect for digging into a messy, satisfying seafood feast.
The menu centers around customizable seafood combos, with choices like crawfish, shrimp, crab legs, mussels, and more. You can select your preferred sauce base and spice level from mild to fire (extra spicy), and during special seasons, fresh instead of frozen crawfish are available. I opted for a mix of crawfish and shrimp, both of which were tender and flavorful. The âCrab Townâ sauce base is highly recommended â a delicious, bold blend of garlic butter, lemon pepper, and Cajun spices. The moderate one is the right spicy level for me.
Peeling seafood can take some effort, but the restaurant provides a handy guide to make it easier. Dipping the peeled seafood back into the broth takes the flavor to the next level. Next time, Iâd go with headless shrimp to enjoy more of the sauce without the hassle.
There are also great appetizers, like raw oysters, fries, butter bread, and chicken wings. I visited during weekday happy hour and scored half-price oysters (fresh and clean) and chicken wings for $0.75 each (minimum six). I asked for plain wings to skip the sauce, and the staff was happy to accommodate.
Service here is warm and attentive. The team was happy to change the TV channel to my preferred game, kept me stocked with paper towels and gloves, and made the overall experience comfortable.
Crab Town offers bold flavors, great service, and a fun vibeâperfect for seafood lovers looking for a hearty and hands-on dining experience.

Food lacked flavor. It wasn't the best seafood boil, but not the worst either. I've definitely had better. The gloves and bibs were awful. The bibs smelled very strong of paint/plastic fumes. The gloves are not ideal for eating seafood boil. You need something more form-fitting like latex gloves.
Delicious food. Super polite staff. Mellow mood with very clean facility.

Crab Town â A Flavor-Packed Seafood Boil Experience in Convoy
Nestled in a bustling plaza in Kearny Mesaâs Convoy area, Crab Town is a go-to spot for Louisiana-style seafood boils, drawing a big crowdâespecially on weekend nights. The atmosphere is lively and casual, perfect for digging into a messy, satisfying seafood feast.
The décor follows an oceanic theme, with shark and crab wall art, and nautical touches that make you feel like you're on a sailboat adventure. Large screens for sports games add to the fun, though be aware that Padres games may be blocked.
The menu centers around customizable seafood combos, with choices like crawfish, shrimp, crab legs, mussels, and more. You can select your preferred sauce base and spice level from mild to fire (extra spicy), and during special seasons, fresh instead of frozen crawfish are available.
