★★★★★ 5.0 JoAnna Barrow · Feb 2026

🦀 Crab Fever – 5 Stars All the Way! If you’re looking for the ultimate seafood boil experience in San Diego, Crab Fever is IT. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is fun, lively, and welcoming. The staff makes you feel right at home and takes the time to explain the menu, spice levels, and combos if it’s your first visit. The seafood? Fresh, hot, and seasoned to perfection. The crab legs were packed with flavor and super easy to crack. The shrimp were juicy, the corn and potatoes soaked up all that buttery garlic goodness, and the house sauce is absolutely addictive. If you love bold flavor with the perfect kick of spice, you will not be disappointed. The portions are generous, everything comes out steaming hot, and the hands-on experience makes it even more fun. Perfect spot for date

Usually come to this location to have a nice dinner, because the seafood here is always amazing. However, today is my birthday so decided to spoil myself with some seafood boil and order it to go home and enjoy, needless to say this was the worst seafood boil I’ve ever had. I’m not sure what happened today but, the “spicy” sauce I opted for was like bland Cajun seasoned water with a little bit of butter, with pre boiled seafood. None of the seasoning was soaked into the seafood itself even though there seems to be 0 real seasoning at all. Very disappointing to say the least, and won’t be returning here, waste of $130. I’m not sure if it’s new recipe or management but it’s for sure a major downfall compared to the other times I’ve been here. Don’t recommend coming here if you’re looking for

If you like Louisiana Style seafood then you found the right place. Diana was our waitress, very friendly and courteous! Beer was cold! Food was hot! Great combo!

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!

The staff and service was ok, but the food had no flavor. I got a pound of shrimp and a pound of muscles, the shrimp was deveined and cleaned, the muscles were cleaned and presentable, the food was flavorless though.
