Always excellent foods and services
We got combo #4 and it was plenty for 3 people! The fried calamari appetizer was phenomenal and the french fries that came with it were some of the best I’ve ever had!

As soon as we walked, we felt welcomed and seated immediately. The waitress was so attentive and kind. Before we even finished drinking our last drop of beverage, she was already there ready to refill. The food was AMAZING. I had the seafood pho. It was so flavorful and filling. My son had the seafood udon that tasted great. Both had a piece of seafood in every bite. My friends both had seafood boil bags that were cooked to perfection in their words. The atmosphere is great. The bathrooms were extremely clean. If I could give the 10 stars I would.

Dining at Submarine Crab on Convoy Street was a seafood lover's dream! With its roots deeply embedded in Louisiana and Texas flavors, this restaurant brings a fresh, exciting twist to seafood boil in San Diego.
We ordered the Combo 1, which included 1 pound each of snow crab legs and crawfish (we opted for fresh crawfish for a small extra charge) tossed in their classic Cajun sauce. The seafood was incredibly fresh, noticeably superior to other seafood boil restaurants we've tried—no strange aftertaste or overpowering flavors. It was delightful to find that the combo included potatoes, corn, and sausage at no additional cost, something often charged extra elsewhere. Plus, being able to choose the spice level was a bonus that allowed us to personalize our meal.
Submarine Crab truly knows how to create an enjoyable seafood boil experience. They provided high-quality food gloves, plastic bibs, wet wipes, a scrap bowl for shells, and all the necessary tools—scissors, crab crackers, and picks—to make the dining experience effortless and clean.
We also indulged in the fried soft shell crab served with crunchy fries. It was perfectly crispy, juicy, and flavorful, making it a must-try for those willing to spend a bit more. The beef with rice dish was decent, featuring quality meat and tasty sauce, though not particularly extraordinary.
For the portion sizes and exceptional quality provided, the prices here are unmatched by most seafood places in San Diego. Submarine Crab has certainly set a new bar for seafood boil restaurants, and we can't wait to return!

If you’re looking for a seafood feast that satisfies every craving, this is an absolute must-try. From the moment the dish arrived, the aroma of fresh spices and buttery goodness was irresistible.
The crab legs were perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor, while the shrimp and mussels practically melted in my mouth. The seasoning was spot on—buttery, garlicky, and delicious! The addition of corn, potatoes, and sausage completed the meal, soaking up all the savory juices for a satisfying bite every time.
Not only was the food impeccable, but the portions were generous. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere made the messy, hands-on dining experience even more enjoyable.

My family and I have been to this place twice, and their food and service are exceptional each time. My favorite is the seafood fry sampler, but everything is top-notch. The lady who serves there is charming. We” 'll go back. Thanks, Submarine staff, for being amazing 🤩
Bag big enough for 2 for about 60 bucks, crab plus a pound of shrimp. Very good. Price about exactly the same as other boils, maybe a few bucks cheaper

I've tried a lot of different seafood boiled and this one is my favorite! The flavors is on point! It coats the outside of the seafood but it also seep into the meat of the seafood so the seafood did not taste bland at all.
Everything is so well balanced and flavorful. I also go the garlic noodles. It was ok. The coconut snails was also good.
I love that they give you a side of the sauce to dip in and they are very generous with the fillers such as corn, sausage, and potatoes.
I would definitely recommend 10/10.
