Crab kingdom. Good food and service.

Whole Crab is good. Crab Chowder can do a better job.

The crab is really great wish I had eaten here yesterday rather than Pier Market Seafood.

Crystal the bartender is a fabulous server. She can teach the proper crab eating technique. And supply a bib!

Crab ❤️💚❤️💚

The Sea Lions weren't even impressed! Ordered the crab melt sandwich and was treated to something I had to saw through to get a bite. Even then, the flavor was bland and uninspiring. Will not return.

Go to Red Lobster and save your wallet and time. Crab is grilled and burnt and many pieces taste like chemicals

Definitely try the Killer Crab, garlic fries and beer or wine.
BettyJuly 20, 2013
Would not order the too two crab deal. Plenty for two, but the seasoning (garlic) did not impress me. Don't order the garlic noodles either. Overly rated...maybe because it's Pier 39?

Killer crab!!!!
Deborah Au-YeungJuly 20, 2013
It's all about the killer crab. Also, you know it's a good place in a tourist area when it's packed with seafood-loving Asians. I watched one guy choke a few times inhaling his pile of crabs...
