A truckload of shrimp , Dungeness crab , Cajun fries , sweet potato fries , corn . Full house, mild spicy . BAM. You'll be dreaming about this place for days.

Arianna Choza

Don't bother with Crawfish , shrimp is where it's at. If you order a side of cornbread , you will receive a loaf that can be shared with 4. Don't expect plates. And gloves are available upon request.

I like this place better than The boiling Crab up in the bay area. The staff here are super friendly and I haven't had any problems during any of the times I've eaten here. The parking situation leave

Jay Berman

I am PRAYING for an early crawfish season !! The way they make their live crawfish at Crab Hut is the absolute best ... addicting, that sauce

Mayo Neville

Fish & chips were delicious! The fish was lightly breaded . And it was so moist and delicious!

Kathleen Muller

Bring wet naps and a large appetite. Must try the steamed crabs , mussels , shrimp with the lemon butter and chili .. For the yuppies, they have a Downtown San Diego location too.

Aaron Stroud

Oye. Man everything was good. Messy if you get anything from the boiled menu, but totally worth it.

Martinas Schoolfield

Seafood bucket with an extra order of crab legs and a dozen oysters filled 4 people up. Food was amazing

Nikki Vongnavanh

Love this location so much!!! They really are good with their customers and pays attention to them.

Amy Munson

Don't bother with the appetizers , they are less than stellar. Do dive deep into the crab legs , crawfish and shrimp . They will not disappoint!

Michele Santos

Spiciness can be inconsistent ... Sometimes medium is perfect but other times its crazy spicy . 1/2 medium is always a safe bet.

Andrew Schultz

Love the dungeoness crab legs and the crawfish ! So yummy!

Elan

Order the live crawfish when they have it. If you're afraid to get your hands dirty , they will provide gloves and a bib if requested.

The key at Crab Hut is to know what you like, your heat tolerance, and ask the servers what’s fresh today.

Kat S.

Shrimp , half-spicy, house sauce .

Lexie Kennedy

The atmosphere isn't the best (noisy and cramped) but the food is great!

Bhavishya Kadri

Amazing seafood ... come for the crabs shrimps n oyster ... loved the crabbie patties...

Jay E

I don't recommend coming here if you're starving because you WILL rack up a bill that you will not like. Seafood is good, but I don't recommend the green mussels . The sampler is generous and delicious

The tasty clab food with full house sauce .

Jennifer

The house sauce is the best sauce to get. And the cajun fries are so good!

Melvin Atallah

This place has thee most amazing king crab legs and corn , get em both full house seasoning

Rick

Get a lb of shrimp . Most bang for your buck!! Tie your bag closed. Turn upside down and open from bottom. U will get the full effect of the sauce.

Brenda Espinoza

Good food, cool place, horrible parking . Park on the street.

Mark Goodwin

Get the bucket with the house sauce , and make sure you use the bib!

Liza Ellis

The full house flavor is hands down the best there! But parking in the lot, park on street if u drive anything bigger than a compact.

Anne G

Sampler platter and 1/2 medium full house flavor shrimp are the bomb!

Sean Daniels

Try the full house seasoning with the sausage . EPIC!!!

Sid Pingul

Never order the hot unless you want to sweat like crazy!

Francisco Campos

Great place to eat and enjoy seafood

Leon Liang

Only get mild for spiciness if you're not sure if you can handle it or not.

Conrad & Jenn R.

Complete your Creole Cajun experience with Purple Haze on tap (Abita Brewing Co.)

Jen

I know the crab legs are bomb but if you want to try something new, order the mussels in garlic butter ! :D

Andrea Della Adriano

Their shrimps are exquisitely delicious~

Christine Guaglianone

1 lb. shrimp full house medium with side of rice .

Christopher Hwang

Mussels with Garlic Sauce . That is all.

Mark C

Forget the sampler. Get shrimp or crab separately.

Julia Wu

Full House 1/2 Medium Spicy Snow Crab legs make me so happy.

Chenney Chen

The Sampler is hands down the best meal for two-- and biggest bang for buck!

ronald nazareno

Definitely get the sampler. It feeds two and is frikkin' delicious!

Abdulaziz Alhusainan

It's so awesome ❤️

Roger Ma

K.O. Sauce isn't that spicy ! :/

Pacman One

Pacmizzle was here. Again.

Jet

Do you have a Daewoo, Mini Cooper, or Civic Hatchback? No? Then don't even try parking in the plaza . It's always crowded and the spaces are super small. Park on the street instead.

Stephanie Chau

$1 Oysters on Tuesday!

Flame He

Go to town is good.

Brick Wall

Meh.... Honestly less than impressive. Like Hot N Juicy in Las Vegas much better.

Rachel Tullio

Wear short sleeves.

Jamie Casas

Put your bib on

Manmohan Veettil
