Had a lunch menu special it’s 20.00 not sure the name but it had a 6-7 oz steak and shrimps with broccoli and 2 scoops of mashed taters , it was great and service was also spot on

Alesia

It has a gorgeous view of the Sacramento river and Tower bridge . They have good fried chicken .

Keshia Regina

Is it wrong to just go for the Shark Bit haha and the crab dip , crab nachos and great balls of fire!! Yummy.

Viktoria Dimples

Great place to go if you are celebrating! Food is pricey ! Ask for a table next to the window to get a good view of the river and the Tower Bridge .

Valerie Simmons

My favorite seafood restaurant of all time. The steampots are amazing!!!! Sunset fire grilled seasoning is hands down the BEST

@AccidentalDiva

If you don't eat Pork because of a food allergy, religious reasons, etc. DO NOT order any of the steam pots , they are boiled/steamed in the same water as all the pork sausage steam pots ????

Jennifer Halligan

Delicious and fun. Can be loud but if ypure ok with that then its great! Right on the water! Great views !

Richard Beranek

For the price i think its meh. Was there on mothers day and service wasnt so good. I had the $20 crab cake dinner and they delivered the fries about 15 minutes after the cakes . Slammed.

Riz

Get up and dance with the crew! What happens at the crab shack, stays at the crab shack! (Unless you post it on Facebook!)

2-hour wait for a table for 6. At least Old Sac is right across the street. They let us take home the containers for our drinks. Try Shark Bite .

Hard Rocker

If you want a quite and intimate dinner , do not eat here. It can be a bit noisy .

Amazing food and service

Keshia Regina

Also love the view

Andi ????

I order my sandwich minus cheese & bacon , it's not because I'm "taking the fun out of it." I'm health conscious.

RoseMarie M.

Don't plan on waiting less than a hour... Yes, even as early as 5.

Jenn Hyland

Instead of the shark bite , order a spiked sweet tea .

Andi ????

Also, when I'm clearly pregnant, I would not like a cocktail menu but would've liked the extra water you had & didn't give to me since another server beat you to it. Veronica = bad service.

Aaron McDermott

Good food but should be called Joe's Fly Shack

JerryLynn

The spiked tea is great!
