Crab Station - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, largely due to their exceptional oysters and outstanding service. We ordered a substantial amount of food, including one crab, one lobster roll, 4-piece raw oysters, and 6-piece fried oysters with fries. Initially, one of the raw oysters smelled bad, and upon bringing it to their attention, the staff was incredibly remorseful and immediately offered four more raw oysters on the house. We changed our minds and asked for fried oysters instead, which they happily provided, also on the house. Their seasoned curly fries are excellent. Even after our large initial order, we returned for another order of their succulent fried oysters, which were juicy and had an effervescent quality. They even doubled the oysters when we requested them without fries. The entire group was humorous and made the experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was lively, described as loud but still conducive to conversation, and the food and service both received perfect scores.

I had the 2 Item Combo for $20, which included shrimp and calamari. The food was served up quick and hot, and it was good. They also have a small seating area.

I tried The Crab Station at Fisherman’s Wharf. The quantity was good, but the overall quality wasn’t quite as high as some of the other seafood spots nearby. The clam chowder was a bit underwhelming — not as rich or flavorful as others in the area. However, the food came out quickly and the service was efficient, which is great if you’re short on time. Overall, a decent stop for a quick seafood bite while exploring the Wharf.

I've been coming here for years; my parents used to bring us when we were small, and now I bring my kids, who absolutely love this place. It's our go-to spot for great food and great people. I also love that we can eat inside. I highly recommend this place.

My experience at this restaurant involved trying the fried combo with shrimp and calamari. The dish was crispy and fresh, but ultimately not especially memorable. At $20 before tax, the portion felt small for the price. I suspect it's mostly geared toward tourists. I might try somewhere else next time.

This was our second restaurant visit while in San Francisco. The staff were lovely, and the outdoor street dining provided a pleasant experience. We ordered a crab roll and a bowl of chowder. Both were good, but the crab roll was the clear winner. Remember to ask for extra lemon!

I've been coming here for over 40 years, since I was a kid. My experience has always been consistently good, with fresh food and a great atmosphere. The food is always good, and the atmosphere is wonderful.

My experience at Crab Station #2 was fantastic, especially regarding the food. They serve the best Dungeness crab, cooked perfectly and they even crack the shells for you. We had the fastest crab for only $55. The food quality was a definite 5 out of 5, though the atmosphere was a bit disappointing with a score of 2. However, the service was excellent, rated at 5.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially considering the amazing value. I loved their fried clams, and the crab station offered a vast array of fresh seafood, all fried perfectly. The serving size is incredibly generous, enough for two people or one very hungry person! I will definitely be back.

My experience at the restaurant was disappointing, particularly with the Lobster Roll Sandwich. It was served cold, dry, and seemed to be mostly imitation crab with barely any real lobster. Considering the price, it was definitely way overpriced and not worth ordering.
