The Crab Shack

Gus Travels

If you’re craving bold flavors and a seriously good time, this crab shack is the spot. The food is packed with flavor from the first bite to the last. The combo boil is fresh and seasoned perfectly, the drinks are tasty and hit just right. The burger was juicy, flavorful and cooked just right. Friendly service and a fun atmosphere. Will be back! Highly recommend!!

Super fast service! Our seafood boil came out extremely fast and was absolutely delicious. Would eat again if we weren't from out of town! Took three of us 45 minutes to devour the #2 boil mild. Would absolutely recommend it.

Olivia was amazing with her warm, friendly welcome in. 1st time dining here. We loved it! Very laid back, not crowded and delicious food with spice. Medium was the perfect blend on our shrimp, crawfish, clams, and it came with potatoes, corn and sausage. Their gumbo is thicker but tasty! The blueberry lemonade isn’t that sweet but is made with fresh blueberries. They swapped it out for a Fruity Booty with Mango, strawberry and peach. Terrick was a great server! He was very attentive and friendly too. Food came out timely and didn’t take long.

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 rated the atmosphere with one star because I have never been physically present at the location. Since I ordered my meal through Uber Eats, I cannot accurately assess the appearance of the place. Regarding the service, I gave it four stars because I have not experienced it firsthand. However, the delivery was prompt and efficient, with my food arriving hot, fresh, and crunchy my calamari. Even upon reheating, the taste remained satisfactory, although the fries were not as crispy as before, which is to be expected. Despite finding the meal slightly salty, I would still recommend it and would consider ordering it again, perhaps with a lighter hand on the seasoning.

Great food! The crab boil was perfectly cooked. Fried food was crisp and appetizers where quick to the table. Great sauce selection compliments the fresh shell fish. We had the garlic butter and it did not disappoint. Chill vibe, nice atmosphere, clean and sanitary place to enjoy the cool night.

Food is great, best seafood boil I’ve ever had. And their customer service is amazing, always attending you when needed.

I came with my family for my parent's anniversary. The service was attentive and the food was delicious. The crab was easy to crack open and the strawberry lemonades had real strawberries. Hope to come back again soon.

We had dinner here to celebrate my daughter's graduation and both my parents birthday, MJ was the best, she was so helpful and sweet, she was on it with the service, 10 out of 10, will be back again for sure!

Got the catfish poboy & fries, great sized sandwiched & fish.. coleslaw was sweet just how I like it, the bread was soft, fries well seasoned. The hostess was great and the kitchen was fast so service was 10/10 for the Togo order.. good prices for downtown restaurant.

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 lol Definitely 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!!

The service was great, my waitress Hailey was very attentive and helpful, I had the gumbo and shrimp basket. The gumbo tasted burnt and the shrimp were overcooked. The mood was nice, the location is great.

I love a good seafood place, but the cost of seafood is very high right now. Every seafood on the menu was MP, market price. I got gumbo, shrimp and lobster, and it tasted great but I would consider it expensive at nearly $90. But if you really love this style of seafood boil, this is your go-to. It's also a bit messy, they put down a huge mat and you break into the food with your hands. But again, some people love that :) Staff was friendly and helpful, and the facilities were nice. Too expensive for me to make it a regular dining option. Lastly, that corn on the cob is amazing.

So a new Crab Shack opened in my hood. And today was the day to try it. The menu was nice with a varied of seafood burgers and of course CRAB😋. I had a crab burger. 2 softshell crab on a bun with coleslaw tomatoes and special sauce. I give it 👍👍. I def will return to try more things like the garlic noodles. My bill was $23 with tip? Seems a bit pricey but hey my waiter was nice and I got to watch some college football.

A pleasant surprise! I’ve lived near the place for years and finally spotted by for dinner. Attentive service and enjoyed our dinner. Will be coming back

The garlic noodles were a hit, but I wasn’t to fond of the flavor of the sauce they use for their seafood. I mean it was ok I think they add a hint of clove to their sauce and that kind of ruined it for me. Otherwise the customer service and atmosphere was great!
