Crab Hut was founded in 2007 by a family that loves food and beer, with one purpose: to bring San Diego some good ole’ Southern sass and flavor. Our goal is to redefine the eating out experience and engaging the guest with hands-on food, while keeping it fresh with products grown and raised locally here in San Diego.
At Crab Hut we’re all about gathering around the table and aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty while we’re at it. So bring your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, and see what the Crab Hut experience is all about. We’ll make sure to keep the beer flowing and the napkins coming. Come join us and make our hut your home.
Nautical-themed joint serving up buckets of seafood & other Cajun-Creole classics with craft beer.

My husband recommended this place. He hasn’t eaten at Crab Hut in 14 years. So he was excited to finally eat some Shrimp! I am not a fan of seafood. I went knowing they’ll be some non seafood options. I ordered the Cajun fries and wings. The wings were battered and fried. I like the wings a lot because it wasn’t too salty. I like the texture of the wings and how crispy it was on the outside. You get 2 ranch and 2 ketchup with it. I ordered the Cajun chicken pasta to share with my husband. Let me tell you…that was the biggest pasta portion I ever seen in my life at a restaurant. It was an amazing amount of pasta!!!! I enjoyed the pasta, it was cheesy a bit of garlic with some spice. My husband loved the shrimp; he was eating it up. We got a whole table cover, gloves, bib, and a mini trash on our table. I love how well the staff work together. They were so efficient and organized. I’ve witness multiple staff members work together to clean a mess at a table and put up new cleaning materials for new customers. You can tell they care about their job. Also would love to recognize Kevin our server. Kevin was outstanding. He was tentative and caring. He would refill our drinks without asking. Regularly check on us. Didn’t rush us to leave. I hope y’all end up with Kevin as your server. 10/10 will come back again.

The seafood was extremely fresh, snappy, and juicy. The service was great and were very attentive. Be sure to ask what market price is from day to day. I got the king crab legs and that was 70 by itself, a little more than I was expecting, but not a huge problem. So, a half pound of shrimp and the legs alone came to over 100 dollars. I would comeback just to try all the sauces. This is a must if you’re looking for some flavorful seafood.

We celebrated a birthday here and it was a fantastic experience! Margie in particular was very helpful in making sure we were getting the most for our money, as well as ensuring we all had a great time. Always been a regular here for the last 5 years, but this time was a highlight!

An incredible meal and seriously the most attentive service. Will definitely be back. Prices were totally reasonable for the amount of food but also how delicious it was. I’m typing this about to slip into a food coma. Please do yourself a favor and come to Crab Hut.

I had a great experience at Crab Hut, and a big part of that was our bartender/server, Jez. The food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Everything came out hot and fast, and the portions were generous.
Jez was awesome—super friendly, attentive, and on top of everything from start to finish. Drinks were always full, orders were accurate, and the service felt genuine and welcoming. Jez really helped make the experience fun and stress-free.
Great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back and hope to be served by Jez again!

My dining experience at Crab Hut Convoy was made absolutely unforgettable thanks to our server, Jez. From the moment she welcomed us, she carried herself with the kind of grace and attentiveness you usually only find in fine dining rooms. Jez anticipated every need before it was spoken, guided us through the menu with confidence and care, and made each choice feel like a curated recommendation rather than a routine order. Her presence elevated the entire evening. She was warm, poised, patient, and truly brilliant at her craft. In a world where excellent service can feel rare, Jez stands out the way a valedictorian shines on graduation day: prepared, impressive, and effortlessly exceptional. She gave us an experience that felt both personal and luxurious, and I left not only full, but genuinely grateful. Crab Hut Convoy is lucky to have her, and any guest served by her is in for a beautiful time.

I come from down Louisiana way, and I am very skeptical of someone saying they’re a “crabhut” in California. However, the Crab Hut had excellent food and the gumbo was acceptable. Mariana, our server, was great she helped two out-of-towners navigate. Come in, you won’t be disappointed
