    Great food, great beer, great wine and great people. The box crab is simply to die for! It's live, local and as fresh as it can get. For a light lunch, order a 2,5lb one to share for two.

    The uni is really fresh. Six pieces of it with scallops and lime for less than $20.

    The lobster brisque soup is to die for. Definitely a must side dish with your entree. Experienced the best hospitality from the bartender. Do not leave Santa Barbara without visiting this place.

    Totally worth the walk down the otherwise tourist trap wharf! Best shellfish we had in SB. Great selection, lots of daily specials. Shrimp is awesome, oysters and calamari linguini too! Sit outside.

    Local crab literally right off the boat. As a kid who grew up on the Gulf of Mexico, I have high expectations for fresh seafood. This met them. So. Darn. Good.

    The best fried calamari I've had in my life. It was fun watching the crabs try to escape their imminent demise.

    They have the freshest seafood in town and the cook has been there for 14 years! Everything here is good but you gotta get a Bloody Mary

    I got a Califórnia king crab and it was wonderful. Nice draft beers with a fair price. Very nice staff.

    Pretty good spot... but their Lobster Roll was more of a Lobster Salad Roll vs. a bonafide roll with tasty fresh chunks of lobster.

    We recommend lobster tacos! Yum! Clam chowder is delicious! Don't forget to wash it all down with a Pyramid on tap!

    Go around the corner, order from the window, and eat on the picnic benches on the left. Best view and no wait!

    Lobster bisque is really a must! The Crab Louie was fresh but not very tasty. Good and fast service!

    Great, fresh ingredients make for some very tasty food. I had the breakfast of champions - crab cakes and a bloody mary (with a spicy pickled green bean!) Nom, nom, nom!!!

    Cioppino is completely wrong - bad broth mainly because they don’t use fish & simply add oil to it, local crab has a very very hard shell & is not cracked prior to serving. Lobster pasta is average.

    Be ready to wait in line, expect a 18% tip to be automatically added to your bill. Shrimp tacos come w just 3 shrimp. Instead of a 3 lb crab we received two small ones, avoid ceviche. Overrated.
