RED LOBSTER SALINAS REVIEWS

We really enjoyed our dinner. We were seated in an area with enough space for our stroller, so we appreciated being seated in a place with space for our kids. Our waiter was also kind and informed me of how to access my rewards on the app. I ordered the lobster tail. It was delicious. A big plus was how clean the restroom was. Some restaurants don’t have a near area for a changing table and waste basket and Red Lobster does. For a busy Saturday night, we had a good service.

Relaxing atmosphere, great food cooked to perfection. Our waiter was outstanding, being attentive to every detail. Awesome experience.

Our server Kevin was the best, very friendly, and made sure we had the best dining experience ever. When you go there be sure to sit in his section.

CRAB BUCKET REVIEWS

We went on a Friday night, the place was half full. The hostess saw us an immediately gave us a table. The waitress came right away to offer something to drink and gave us some time to check the menu. She came back and took our order. It took around 15 minutes to be ready. We got 2 pounds of the cajun shrimp. They were not too spicy, the temperature and flavor were great. I also ordered white rice which was also good. The place, food and service were excellent, but is a little pricy. But once in a blue in a while it’s ok.

This place was recommended. We absolutely loved the crab bucket it was amazing. Service could have been better. We had to keep going to the counter to ask for things. They didn’t even bring her items needed for the crab bucket. Otherwise no complaints. The price was good and so was the food.

Food was delicious got shrimp, corn, potatoes, Cajun fries, garlic noodles chicken wings (lemon pepper) and some coleslaw. Overall, great place to come eat. Prices where good too.

BAG O' CRAB REVIEWS

Great tasting food with lots of variety. It is super messy, which is a good thing - it's expected. The menu is well structured and the options can be tailored to your liking. The pricing is market value, so watch the wallet. It can get busy during the normal rush hours - lunch and dinner times - so it's advised to plan ahead. The service is pretty cool with it's delivery of food with the latest tech - using a robot! Kids will enjoy that. Overall, we will be back and hungrier than ever.

A friend and myself waited a week to visit this establishment, and it was worth it. The atmosphere, the service, the robot that brought us our meal, the seafood was cooked to perfection, simply worth every penny. I give it my highest recomendation to visiting Bag O' Crab in Salinas, CA.

Best seafood boil restaurant in Salinas. The food is great and the staff are nice. I love the louisiana flavor and their garlic bread.
