The Crab Bay

Been out of the country for almost 2+ years and I had a list of food places I wanted to go to ASAP when I got back. Seafood Boil was on my list of things to get. I follow Raina and LovelyMimi on Instagram and they were here promoting this restaurant a couple months ago so I decided to give it a try when I got back. My mom and I came here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and there was only one other table.My mom and I decided on the combo 1 house special sauce medium..we chose 2 lbs of shrimp and 1 lb of mussels. The combo comes with 2 corn, 2 potatoes, and 4 sausages. We got garlic noodles, Cajun fries, and calamari for our appetizers. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!! I MEAN EVERYTHING WAS SO SO SO SO GOOD!!! The shrimp was so soft that my mom and I didn't even have to peel the skin!!! Yummy!!! I am very happy and satisfied that I decided to eat here. If you want good flavorful seafood boil and wonderful sides come here!!! Okay..I wrote this review a couple weeks ago but for some reason I didn't post it..anyways..I'm hoping my mom wants to eat here again tomorrow because I'm craving some shrimp and I want to try their crab too this time!!! YUMMM!!!

Strong 4 for Crab Bay. The hosts were greeted us and were friendly. One was eager to help us get a spot at the bar. She even asked a party of four sitting there if they'd like a high top table near the bar so we could sit down. The michelada was good. Interesting to have so much crushed ice in it, but still pretty tasty. We ordered a dozen oysters and the combo #1 (muscles, shrimp, clams) medium house special sauce. The food arrived quickly was piping hot and tasty. The servers regularly checked on us and asked if we needed anything. There are two or three other "seafood by the bag" kind of places and I've tried them all. The Crab Bay stands out.

I love me some Cajun seafood boil! The Crab Bay makes it with the best of them. We ordered our usual 2 lbs of shrimp with the house special sauce, garlic noodles, rice, and the Cajun fries. That's all we need for a family of four and it always hits the spot. Hopefully we'll try some of the other Crab Bay recommended favorites. I know we should be able to reach that goal as we will always need that seafood boil fix every couple of weeks or so.

Just doing another update on how great my experience was here. I really need to commend Ivy who took great care of me today. She has this nice aura about her.I need to thank her patience as I think I asked for a lot today but she did everything with a smile. I only had one minor question about my order because I wanted snow crab legs but majority of my order was 2 lbs of clams and the snow crab were 2 knuckle clusters without the legs and 5 snow crab claws. She was so kind to give me an extra cluster with the actual long legs so that really made my day. The crab bay is certainly worth the money. I noticed though that the rush came in around 4:00 pm and there were some tables patiently waiting. I know I can't speak on behalf of the team at Crab Bay, but I will let you all know, the patience is worth it. Be kind always and they'll take wonderful care of you.

This Cajun seafood spot is rock-solid! I've fallen hard for their garlic noodles--soft linguine that's loaded with garlic goodness, but not so much you're breathing fire. Just the right kick, topped with a little parsley for that fancy vibe. We grabbed a pound of shrimp, ten chunky hot links, and a bowl of white rice--boom, perfect meal size. Only the garlic noodles made it home with us--everything else? Devoured. And get this: all that flavor for under $45, tip included! That's a steal so good I almost high-fived the cashier.

The best seafood spot in San Jose! High quality food here!Me and wifey sat at the bar! It was a busy night but we were taking great care of by the server! Excellent! We order some po boy shrimp sandwiches! They were so delicious! And some garlic bread! A great place to chill out with friends and family! Great atmosphere!

Nice lunch with my husband at The Crab Bay today. Place is well nice decorated and clean. A comfortable place to be. Customer Service was nice and food delicious which is my best part. Flavor, service and place with a fair price too. Love it that my beer was in a super cold glass cup and this is the best way to drink a draft beer. They have all kinds of cocktails and food. I will be back for sure. One thing is that they have no desserts or nothing special for birthdays, not even singing or nothing so no 5 star for them

Me and my friend went here for our first time. The food was great. We got the combo 1. Combo 1 is you choose 3 type of seafood. We got the clams, crawfish, and shrimp. Their sauce choice is good. All their sauces are great. We were able to sample some before choosing what sauce we wanted on our boil. The garlic noodles were a little bland in my opinion. Not enough garlic flavor. We also got the fried calamari, which was so good. Crunchy and fresh. We also got the Cajun fries. Also good. Overall 4.5/5. The garlic noodle were a little disappointing.Service was great. Helen was so nice and seated us right away. She checked up on us multiple times when we didn't need anything, great service. She answered all of our questions about the menu right away. Definitely going back for the food and service.She was so nice enough to give us some claim chowder, and refilled our waters without us even asking. Great service. 6/5Ambiance inside is great. Great lighting inside. Plenty of seats for big parties or small parties. No outdoor seating.

This is a great spot for a seafood boil, especially if you're dining with a group! I love the combos they offer, which include your choice of seafood along with corn, potatoes, and sausages.However, I'm giving it four stars because we had to wait a long time for a server to acknowledge us upon arrival, despite several walking passed us. Additionally, the rice was disappointingly hard! I tried pouring the sauce over it but it was still too hard to eat.

Came in on a Saturday night about 7pm, waited about 20 mins for a table for 2, not too bad. While waiting, I think the Owner/Manager came around with a tray of what looks like jello and gave them to people who were waiting to be seated. I thought that was pretty cool and it was really good. Server came right over once we sat and took our drink order. Gumbo to share came with 2 shrimps and some diced up sausages. Need more flavor or seasoning, or I maybe used to the Gumbos from NOLA!!! LOL!!!Garlic Noodles was really good, just the right amount of garlic, butter and parmesan mixed together.Combo #2, we got with King Crab Leg and 1 pound each of heads on shrimp & mussels with their house sauce. everything in the bags was fresh and perfectly cooked.
