Crab Bucket - Seafood restaurant in Salinas - 1260 N Main St, USA

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.

Ordered via Uber Eats. Food's okay. Think the garlic noodles are a little too sweet. But everything else is okay.

Very salty I had to add water and the shrimp was over cooked. However, the flavor they put into the food was amazing! The best place I’ve tried for shellfish so far! My family ordered the snow crab, king crab, shrimp, and mussels. We tried the garlic and the kawa bunga flavor. 😋 The phones are always busy, but I walked in and ordered and they had it done within 20 minutes. 👌🏼

Shrimp was hard to peel and powdery, tell tale sign of frozen shrimp. But oh well its Salinas. Expect a wait if you want crab. There are places more fresh, just go for the drive to san jose. Staff was friendly. They waste a ton of limes on each table, they should be more considerate and not lazy. Sauce was great!! I had kowabunga combo of all sauces. Rice was mushy. Wings have a lot of breading and unexpected but good flavor.

I have never gone to google to rate anything! But I’m currently not able to get a hold of anyone in charge of here! I had ordered some snow crab legs and was doubting the weight, the reasons being is that they gave me one full cluster and another one that had skinny legs and was not complete (I wish I could have took a picture). We go here all the time and we have always gotten 3 full clusters. We requested them to get weight again and we’re denied! The server told us that they were already weighed and if we didn’t want them she can just take them bak and give us our money back! (With attitude and her hand on her waist) she mentioned that everyone has been getting only two cluster. Mind you, my son was hungry and that’s all he enjoys eating, if that wasn’t the case I wouldn’t have bought the food and got out of there immediately. My family wasn’t able to eat comfortably, and I’m still wondering who i can reach out to with my complain. All I know is I’m never going there again, the one in sea side has better service and they also give discounts depending on your order, I’ll risk the long drive !

Good seasoning. Good price for crab. Not the freshest crab I've ever had. I can see myself coming back.

Awful experience. It was our server's second day which may have attributed to the bad service. We have a 10 month old daughter, and as such, we eat out rather early to avoid her being too fussy. Firstly, I asked the server what the "Kawa Banga" flavor tasted like as she said it was her favorite. After politely asking several different ways, she still was unable to answer me. Then, we noticed that two other tables that had arrived significantly later than us had already received their food. Our server came to our table and told us our order was mistakenly given to another table. Then she proceeded to ask us if we would like the other tables' order... In conclusion, our food finally came way too late and our daughter was extremely fussy and we had to leave shortly after our food FINALLY arrived. We were given a small discount for our trouble. Go somewhere else if you would like good service. Also, quite overpriced for the quality of food.

Went there last night, Corn was DRY AF, and the older lady was rude af. This is the first time me and my man don’t tip. She didn’t even bring us gloves we had to eat with our barehands while she watched us. She gave us 2 minutes to order after seating us and was in such a rush. Her attitude was ugly like if she didn’t want to work there. Sorry baby girl looks like Hospitality isn’t for you.
