Crab Fever - San Diego

"We went on a Saturday evening, it was completely empty so we had the place to ourselves pretty much. The lady attending us was very sweet and patient when it came to us ordering. The food was ready within 10 minutes of ordering. My boyfriend loved his food and so did it. It was far less expensive than other places. We paid $50 for our food which included drinks. The lady didn’t bother us while eating and she even set up plates, napkins, and limes for us. We didn’t pay an 18% gratitude fee that I see a lot of the 1 star review mention… not sure if that’s changed overtime. However the food was delicious and we’ll be going back!"

"5 minutes before closing, we ordered combo #2 with 6 eggs. This was our first time trying this place with high expectations per all the good reviews because my husband and I are from Louisiana (New Orleans) and Baton Rouge. We paid $130 for the worst seafood ever. The sauce was watered down and flavorless! My snow crabs were overcooked; the shells were so rubbery and didn’t crack easily. The shrimp were severely overcooked; we spent more time peeling the skin off, and once we peeled it, the taste was powdery and mushy. I was so annoyed! Unfortunately, they were closed by time we got home, so I couldn’t call the restaurant. I’m leaving a review in hopes of reaching a manager! We would like to give this restaurant another try based on the review if we get exceptional customer service, because this wasn't it!"

"I went in for something light and debated between tacos and the seafood egg rolls. I opted for the egg rolls with hopes that they would be the thicker crunchy wrap, but they’re more like spring roll wraps. I think that impacted the flavor heavily, as they were lightly seasoned and well cooked. I expected more flavor, but I would order them again. The dipping sauce added a nice flair and was much needed."

"When you're ready for a seafood boil, Crab Fever is a local go-to spot! It was a piece of Southern Louisiana style food that I love to eat. You can get messy or use the gloves they provide. A bib is necessary for all those juicy goodness if you enjoy that! Crab legs/Corn/Sausage or shrimp are my favorite."

"The service was excellent. Which should be expected for the included 18%. I had the oysters($4/11?), cajun frys($7) and club soda($3). My total was $24+(including service fee) I like the presentation of the oysters, how ever this didn't help improve the quality/freshness of the oysters which for being near the bay should have been better. Apparently, the are from Wa and not local. Which I found odd. The cajun fries didn't fit the bill. They taste like from frozen seasoned fries. Also charging $3 for club soda seemed excessive. Very disappointing. As, for the service charge I feel if business included this it should be more toward 10%(minimum consideration) then ppl may be more likely to tip up. Also, I was not given a paper receipt l, even after inquiring/payment. Overall service is great, food quality is poor and grossly over priced for the quality. I personally wish I would have eaten earlier, at the harbor."
