Bag O'Crab

Manivone Sayasone

This place took me by surprise. I've always been hesitant to check it out because it's a seafood restaurant, which immediately tells me most of the menu items are going to be pretty expensive. But I caved into my love for seafood, convinced my cousin and partner to join me, and we had a great time dining in. Our waitress, Val, was wonderful. She was so patient with the three of us struggling to order our food despite looking at the menu online ahead of time. Val even took the time to tell us about the robot servers, which I was overjoyed to see zipping around the restaurant with drinks and bags of crab. The three of us split the King Crab combo ($79.95) with Cajun sauce and then ordered a Snow Crab with Lousiana sauce on it's own as well as a side of fries ($29.95 + $4). Each item was delicious; so much so I took a part of the Snow Crab, put it inside my bag of shrimp and Cajun sauce, and took it home. Some things to note: the King Crab combo only came with three King Crab legs, but you get 2 small cobs of corn, 2 small potatoes, and about 13 or so shrimp. Thankfully, the food gets cooked and brought to us fairly quickly and tastes as if much more time was spent making food taste as good as it did. In general, the restaurant is worth checking out if you love, well, crab and if you have some money to spend. My total came out to $123.30, but I enjoyed the food, Val's service, the decorations on the wall, and the kawaii as heck robots that deliver the food to your table.

Nice place to have some fresh sea food. Service is nice and there robot 🤖 server is pretty cool. I ordered some fish n fries it was very good...

Do not let the 4.2 review deceive you! This place is AMAZING! The atmosphere first of all, every single employee treats you amazing very nice with respect and engages in a conversation. It’s not fake. You can tell. Second, the food is always on point, hot at 🔥 and tastes amazing. Not to mention how fast it is always ready. I am not sure why this place doesn’t have 5 stars. They even have cute little cat robots come on. The manager Maria is phenomenal as well, she clearly knows how to run a shift and she’s so sweet. The girls at the front desk, 10/10 always. Thank you guys! ~J

I would love to thank our server Alexis! She was an amazing server! Came here with my lady and she couldn’t find anything appetizing for herself. She wanted something simple and not to much for her stomach. She asked a few questions to our server and she was able to provide us with more feedback. My lady was able to modify her plate to her liking and simple dish. Wouldn’t have been possible without our server! Thankyou so much she provided us a great dinner for us and great time in the restaurant and I really appreciate her effort and going out of her way to provide us an excellent service! Thankyou Alexis!

Took my three adult kids to celebrate 2 of their birthdays. They, we absolutely loved it. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, great atmosphere and delicious food. We will definitely be back.

Visiting Merced. We looked up seafood boil and Bag O crab popped up. The restaurant its self is very clean and decorated nicely. One of the staff told me it used to be an IHoP. Everyone was friendly. I’m not sure what I was thinking. I just knew I wanted crab. I ordered the Dungeness 🦀. A sweet tea. Not even worried about the price. I mean I saw the menu. But the quantity…It’s a great serving.. plenty for two. Louisiana sauce Medium was a nice subtle flavor for me. The crab was fresh. Potatoes, sausage, shrimp 🦐. I could only eat about half. I brought the rest home to enjoyed the next day.

Seafood is my absolute favorite, and this place is definitely one of the better seafood spots in the valley. The food has amazing flavor and always arrives at the table quickly, which I really appreciate. That said, I was a little disappointed with the crab legs on my last visit — they were smaller than I expected, especially for the price. Still, overall it's a solid choice when you're craving seafood, and I’ll definitely be back!

Such an awesome place to get your seafood on!!! The wait staff are all very thoughtful and tentative. The robots are a trip to see in action, my son loved them.

Great service. The kids loved the robot servers that brought food to the table. Raw oysters are served with lime and Tabasco. The seafood boil comes in a bag as shown. Feels a little weird and is messy to reach in and grab the food, but they provide gloves. If you like spicy seafood, definitely check it out.

Good food and excellent service. First time I have had a Robot deliver my food, the waitress still had to place our food on the table. Love the table setup, with disposable cloth. Plastic ware and drinking cups do everything is just gathered up in the table covering at the end of the meal.

Best seafood place in Merced. Its actually pretty good too. Cheaper than similar places in SF and LA. To go only during the pandemic.

I recently had the opportunity to try the bag of crab at this restaurant, and while I was initially impressed with the friendly staff and the generous servings, I must say that the quality of the food left much to be desired. One of the main disappointments I encountered was with their ribs. Although the serving size was substantial, I found that the ribs often lacked meat and were mostly just bones with small amounts of meat clinging to them. As a customer, I believe that I shouldn't have to ask to ensure that the ribs come with an adequate amount of meat. Similarly, the crab offerings also left me wanting more. The crab often came with a scarce amount of meat, which was quite disappointing considering it is one of the main attractions of the menu. While there were other items on the menu that were worth having, such as the fried shrimp, Po' Boy sandwich, and wings, for those who specifically crave crab and meat, this restaurant might not be the best choice. Furthermore, I found the prices a bit steep for the quality you receive. Considering the lack of substantial portions in certain dishes, it felt like I was paying more for the name rather than the actual quality of the food. Ultimately, while the staff at this restaurant was extremely friendly and the servings were large, the lack of quality in certain dishes, particularly the ribs and crab, left me disappointed. The limited amount of meat on the ribs and crab, coupled with the relatively higher prices, makes it hard for me to recommend this place to those who are looking for a satisfying crab and meat experience.

Idk, not for me but for a seafood lover. It's okay, nothing mind blowing. They got two cat robots bringing food out to the table. It's kinda expensive.

Lobster had to much garlic for me was good though garlic bread was garlic bread corn on the cob was unbutterered. Or seasoned. They serve beer. Short ribs are probably my favorite .Service was adequate Substituted salad for French fries. Whole thing cost about $80.Also has a robot named Bella for a waitress

This place was definitely not worth the money that I spent. And the good was not good to me or my son. The noodles looked like worms and they didnt clean the shrimp at all. Seems as though the shrimp was from the store like Walmart out of a bag. And the service was not good. HAD to keep asking for stuff that should of already been there. And it took a long time to receive it when asked. Not recommended

First and Foremost, I have gone to multiple locations of the Bag O Crab Franchise. This one would have to be the worst. Our shrimp was overcooked, the snow crab legs were tiny and only got 3 when we visit the other locations we get 4 big crab legs. There was barely any shrimp, standard potatoes and corn was good. The sauce was just sitting in the bag. Our waitress wasn't very good didn't have clean wipes, had 2 other tables served before us even though we arrived before them, didn't shake the bag or cut it open. We had also never been given our check while we were still eating a bag that was still full. Additionally, this location should look at shadowing Bag O Crab in Modesto. They never disappoint.
