The Bucket Crab & Crawfish

First time coming to this location Its very clean and staff is really niceShoutout to Carlos he is awesome really friendly and attentive l!Thanks Carlos :)

After reading the reviews and the high rating, my sister wanted to satisfy her crawfish craving by going here. We ordered shrimp and crawfish with all the sauces. The service was good and it was relatively empty inside when we went. The sauce was just okay to us. We had a lot of leftovers and it seemed that my sister left unsatisfied since it didn't meet her expectations nor satisfy her cravings. For some reason it tasted better the next day. This place was just so-so to me.

Water unfiltered, clams tasted like sink water, the bucket medley was tomato paste, and our ranch was hidden valley. Disappointed.

Simple Review - I've been going to the Ontario location for almost over a decade and I'm so thankful that they have one in Rancho Cucamonga now. I always make a mistake of ordering take out for fear of long lines. Nothing beats an in-restaurant dining experience but if you know how to prepare at home for the great flavored bags of delectable seafood then it can be equally amazing. We got two bags of shrimp with mild bucket medley sauce and 18 slices of sausage, three orders of fried catfish, a side sauce of lemon pepper sauce, an order of garlic noodles - a bunch of lemon slices and salt&pepper containers that we use to squeeze the lemon slices into. We had steamed rice to pair all the seafood with. I mixed the bucket of medley sauce with some of the Lemon pepper sauce and wow - perfection. The food was neatly packed - the shrimp were perfectly fresh and plump. What a feast. Thank you! Next time we are eating in. Enjoy fellow yelpers!!!

Bucket Crab is my favorite seafood in a bag restaurant ever! I can rave about the bucket medley sauce all day long. It's an actual sauce and not flavored oil like a lot of other places. I've brought many friends and fam to the Ontario location over the years and they're always impressed. I'm so happy they made a location down the street from me and I don't have to drive into the depths of Ontario.This location is located in the old creamistry spot. They transformed it beautifully. I'm rooting for this new location!!

First time here and it is going to be a mixed review. We ordered the family combo special which has tons of food. First of the bucket toast was amazing. It's like a seafood bruschetta and wish I had more of it. Cajun fries were tasty too. Garlic noodles were simple and good as well as a great balance to the medley hot seafood. The two negatives for me were the clams and the king crab legs. The clams didn't taste all that great and the king crab legs seemed a little short for being one pound. Not sure if they actually weigh it or not. It was still good and we all left stuffed regardless.

Be warned: you will do a lot of work and make a mess in the process. But that's the point! Peel and shuck your own seafood, boiled and bathing in a really delicious marinade. They'll give you a bib and gloves and take the bib seriously! We ordered a family special in garlic butter with mild spice and it was delicious. The garlic noodles were okay, but had a mild sweetness to them that just wasn't appealing, for some reason. We had a fairly large table of 8 people, including 3 kids, and service was excellent. They were very attentive in refilling drinks and providing extra paper towels, etc when needed. Everyone working was very friendly, as well. Great experience!

I love a good seafood boil and was looking forward to trying this place for a while. First red flag for me was there there were no prices listed for the seafood. I get it that the market price can change daily, but a good restaurant will either print a daily list that accompanies the menu or post one in the front of the shop, because customers need to know before they order what the food is going to cost. The server was very friendly and helpful, so I stayed, but opted for just some shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn. Wow, never been to a seafood boil that was so stingy on the sides. I got one large red potato and one tiny one, and a half an ear of corn. The sausage was cut up but everything else was served whole. It just felt really underwhelming for the extra costs. Lastly, I don't have a problem being served shrimp with the heads on but looking at how small they were for costing almost $20 lb, I kind of felt like I probably paid almost as much for the head and shell as I did for the mushy meat inside. Not sure how they weighed the pound I paid for. I mean either serve me a small amount of large shrimp, or a large amount of small shrimp, but don't give me a small amount of small shrimp, especially if they are going to fall apart while I'm peeling them.Yeah, the service was good, but all around the meal was a major disappointment. Maybe shrimp and sides are just not their strong point and the other selections are better, but I don't think I will ever go back to find out. :(

Looking forward to this location opening up. Like the other locations, this place is great!An updated experience soon to follow.
