The food was excellent and the service was amazing! Host Gio (sp?) was especially friendly and helpful. And whatever you do, DEFINITELY try the fried oysters, extra crispy. I eat oysters, but am not a huge fan. Theses, however, are a MUST HAVE!

Nice place for casual seafood. Comfortable bench tables and a full bar. My lobster roll was pretty packed with chunks and was good. My companion’s shrimp salad had large tasty prawns. The only ding was that the server disappeared for a while so drink refills were slow, but it was off hours and I assume lightly staffed for that. Available parking in the lot. Wheelchair accessible.

I loved the experience here .!The decoration is simply spectacula from the entrance, I felt transported to the coast. The blue and white colors, combined with nautical elements, create a fresh and welcoming atmosphere.
But what really shines is the food. The seafood dishes are an explosion of flavors and textures. The staff’s attention was also exceptional, always willing to recommend and explain the dishes.
I can’t wait to come back and try more of their delights. Highly recommended!
*Highlights:*
– Impressive decoration
– Delicious and fresh food
– Excellent service

Ray’s Crab Shack is a good place to go if you enjoy seafood boils. The taste of everything is very fresh and the price is reasonable. Service was exceptional and helpful for our big party that needed lots of extra utensils, bibs, lemons, etc.
Honestly, the sauce is not my absolute favorite I have had at seafood restaurants but it still is tasty and the overall experience was great with much better service and sides than other restaurants. I will come back if I’m in the area again!

Sooooo impressive! So far the best boiling seafood I’ve ever eaten in the Bay Area! Great service and juicy seafood! Will come back again!

One of the most flavorful Cajun shrimp in a bag. And having the option of head on shrimp deserves another star! The juicy fresh shrimp order came in double bagged. Their garlic bread were soft in the middle, crunchy crust and tasty, obvious garlic chunks, precious 4pcs in the order. Garlic noodles were packed so full and bagged. We had a few boxes in our order and appreciate that each box thoughtfully had the order label on it so we know which is which, thank you! Wasn’t our first time getting the shrimp in a bag and wouldn’t be our last either.

Fantastic Cajun seafood place, been coming here now and then for over 8 years.
Tastes fantastic, fresh seafood, great value, never had a problem with the service nor the food.
Very nice to see their price not inflated too much, you can still get the combo or shrimp bag for around $20-40, which can usually feed 2-3.
Recommend Cajun garlic sauce, sides such as clam chowder, which is better than Boudin’s, sweet potato fries, extra sausage & garlic noodles. Everything is on the salty side tho.
Totally, 100%, absolutely recommend.

I travel for work but this time I was on a limited budget. I spent about $46 with tip. I felt awkward to sit there alone so I took my sandwich, chowder w/ bread bowl To Go. You guys should really have bar where people can come there and eat. You had a couple places but under utilized! Anyways, the food was good still and the waitress was accommodating and got my food quickly. There were groups everywhere. I sell massage chairs at Costco and I had a great show at the Newark store so I’ll be back with deeper pockets and I hope there will be a good bar / area for 1/2 people to dine at.

They unethically add in a 15% tip charge to your final bill BEFORE you can pay for your bill…then ask AGAIN for extra tips after charging. At that point, the initial 15% had already been charged. The tip listed on the initial receipt is in fine print (easily mistaken for sales tax) also so it isn’t really noticeable until you really glance at your receipt before paying which you should do if you ever come here though I strongly don’t recommend this one and recommend other Cajun boil places.
Also, they have shrimp head-on and head-off options, however… they don’t have a “deveined” option which greatly disappointed me coming from my past experiences at other Cajun boil restaurants in the Bay Area.
Pro: their ultimate power seasoning tasted pretty good but that’s about the only pro I have.
