We arrived on a Sunday right at opening (12pm). The restaurant was empty of other guests. Our server greeted us promptly and enthusiastically answered all our newbie questions. Wifey ordered the Ragun Cajun seasoned Crawfish and expressed great satisfaction. I ordered the the garlic mussels and they were perfect (not chewy). Next came the calamari and it too melted in the mouth instead of being rubbery. As an untraditional desert we ordered the Char Grilled oysters. Previously, I never encountered a method or recipe for oysters that was palatable. These were delicious, however, they are very rich, so, the order of 6 (vs 12) was a good choice. The hush puppies were likewise delectable. Our unadventurous child stuck with chicken fingers. They were tasty but a lil bit spicy, but never fear, the accompanying lemon pepper fries were awesome.
In Arizona I rarely find myself complimenting restaurants believing the food somewhat boring here. We left LA Crabshack immensely satiated for a welcomed change. Look-out The Boiling Crab in San Jose, the LA Crabshack is ready for a title fight...
