The Wild Crab

First time here at their new location and wow I love how the inside looks! Very clean, bright, and spacious! Lots of parking available as well. We only came because crawfish is back in season! Everywhere else was a bit of a wait but luckily no wait over here! Winning! Walking in, the workers were so welcoming. Our server was Tammy! She's such a sweetheart and provided us great service. My party ordered fried calamari, Chicken tenders w/ fries, and combo 2 wild style spicy. Everything came out so hot. We enjoyed the calamari. The chicken tenders were also good not dry at all. The french fries alone was good but didn't enjoy the seasoning, could be better. Combo 2 was just okay in my opinion only because the crawfish was small and the clams were not good this run but the shrimp was good. Sauce could use more flavor, garlic, less butter/oil and could be spicier, the spicy was more medium level. The floor manager? was very helpful, we did let him know about the clams and they were so nice about it and fix that situation for us. Last but not least, they provide vanilla icecream at the end. Very much needed and appreciated. Overall, I had a good time here. This spot is so much better than the last location. Chill vibes and who ever was DJ y'all was playing all the jams. I would definitely come back and support! Tips: Monday they are CLOSED! Tuesday - Fried Chicken With Red Rice $10.00Wednesday - Wing (1 Pc) $1.00Thursday - Oysters $1.00 eachFriday - Fish & Chips $10.00

Used to love the previous place around Garden Grove & Gilbert (very fun place & high quality food) but it drastically decreased. I recently ordered this Specialty Combination with Wild Style sauce for my Mom's that's craving that, so I drove about 45mins to just get that at their new location at around Santa Ana/Westminster. But after that long drive, as soon as we opened it, just by looking at it, just as before I taste it. It tastes so bland, just like plain water lemon and pepper. I wanna cry, cuz I added extra stuff on it, extra couple of lbs of shrimp, extra corn etc (it's a large order). And for my Mom that's craving for it for months, I feel so bad for her. I called them to let them know what I found out, they couldn't decide what to do, so they said they will call me back and so I said okay. I don't want to sweat it out. But we tried eating it but we really couldn't eat it like that. IT SO SAD THAT WE HAVE TO RE-COOKED IT WITH OUR OWN INGREDIENTS. It just defeats the purpose of having to order food to go. Since it feels wrong, that I spent that much money for me to be doing all that work and spending extra for ingredients to fix it and my time as well. I tried to call again after about an hour, they said if I could come back so they could give me a sauce, I was like I drove for about an hour and I don't want to drive back just for the sauce. WTH. Our appetite our gone. Its okay. But, never again we would ever come back to that location. We used to love that Garden Grove Wild Crab location. But with the change of management or location something must've change with the ingredients or something, it isn't the same anymore. I wish they could somehow take it back. How I wish they could improve it, then I will return back to them.

Kudos to manager, Kevin for rectifying our issues. We called on a Tuesday afternoon to ask if the crawfish was fresh and were told "yes" by employee via phone. So we proceeded to place an order of 1lb crawfish,.1lb shrimp, half a pound sausage and Cajun fries. Unfortunately, when we got home and began eating, we noticed several things wrong with the order: 1) crawfish was frozen. How could we tell? The crawfish meat had freezer burn smell and almost tasted spoil. 2) We received more crawfish than shrimp when it was supposed to be 1lb each. 3) The sauce flavor was pure oil and burnt garlic tasting. Another tell tell sign the crawfish meat was frozen and possibly spoiled was the color and texture of the meat: grey and disgusting. I ended up not even eating more than 10 pieces because the smell and flavor of the crawfish was so bad. Because the sauce was lacking in flavor due to mostly oil and burnt garlic, the whole meal was pretty much inedible. Yelpers be warned, I got a tummy ache after eating even just a few bites an hour later.My husband called to complain and the person who originally took the order answered the phone. He confirmed that the crawfish meat was indeed frozen, so kudos for accountability, but there was still frustration as to why we were told the food was fresh and then serve frozen. Had we known, we would have ordered something else worth $60 + tip and save everyone the inconvenience.Originally, the cashier offered to replace the meal with "live/fresh crawfish" or 20% off on future order, but it was such a bad experience and flavor profile that we didn't want to make a trip back. Instead, we asked for management to give us a call back for next steps. Thankfully, manager Kevin gave us a call and demonstrated great customer service by issuing us a full refund. Thank you for making it right, Kevin! All three stars is solely for customer service. This was our first time here and I am disappointed to say that it will be our last due to the initial experience. Although management corrected the issue by refunding us, I don't think their flavor profile is as established as their original flagship restaurant and when compared to other Crawfish restaurants.Yelpers, remember to ask for what you're paying for and say something if it isn't right. Especially with food cost being so high these days, make sure you get what you pay for! Also, as a new restaurant, I am sure they will welcome the feedback to become a better establishment.

Fish and chips were delicious very light crispy batter didn't feel heavy and the fish inside was delicate. Crawfish mac and cheese had a good amount of cheese but could perhaps use more salt not bad. Canh chua was good maybe could have had more tomatoes and Chinese celery in it but the broth was sweet maybe could also but a bit more sour but this is preference in general it was good. The Cajun shrimp sauce could have been a bit thicker it doesn't really stick and is a bit watery but overall shrimp was cooked nicely where as other places I've been to recently have been overcooking it.

Service was good servers are pretty attentive although there are very few of them so catch them when you can. I am not the biggest fan of their seafood - the flavor is not very strong and hasn't seeped into the broil yet. So overall it's kinda just like seafood you'd make yourself at home.The calamari was crispy at some parts but also oily soggy and the breading was not sticking to it. The shrimp salad we got was arguably the best thing very flavorful and delicious. The wings particular the house and the lemon pepper were good. The Thit Kho to - was not good kinda just like minced pork meat not caramelized or sticky enough The rice also wasn't charred enough. Overall not particularly a spot I'd recommend the have some good specials going throughout the week though if you're interested.

Great food and good prices. We came here specifically to try their raw shrimp salad. It was amazing!! Spacious dining area and awesome customer service! Highly recommended

Hmmm this used to be my FAVORITE place for seafood boil for the last 10 years. I was so excited to hear they reopened. Tried it today finally, always order wild style mild shrimp and crawfish. It was.....alright. Pretty bland. Something was off with the recipe, idk what it was. The popcorn chicken was ok, and the Cajun fries were fine, tho the ketchup had a weird taste. We still ate it cuz it was ok but not sure if we will be making the drive to this specific location. I did like that they had the ice cream at the end but no donut, at least my daughter enjoyed it. I would continue to be a costumer here if I knew the flavor was the same but it just wasn't quite there.

This Place is FIRE. Some of the best Crawfish and Crab to eat in the OC. We stopped here for lunch Friday, and it was a blast. My first time coming here, because I have been to many crawfish places in Westminster. We put on our aprons, and started crying when we ate the corn, with all of the spicy crawfish and pepper crabs. I was amazed at the good food here. Nice staff and wonderful place to eat.

Very good food shrimp and my crab nice testing flavor full service the best we came back again Tank you very muchFamily ambience for my all family and wash the football game

I was so happy to find out they opened back up because wild crab is way better than boiling crab to me . The wild style sauce and Cajun fries are 10/10 every time I go and never disappoint. They did move to a different location and yes the place is different , but who cares , I come to eat and the service was great. The sauce and food did not change to me and I've been going to wild crab for years. I'm just happy they are open now and I don't have to settle for boiling crab haha.
