★★★☆☆ 3.0 Seila · Mar 2026

the service was great, but the meal was a little disappointing. i ordered a pound of snow crab legs and received 2 little clusters. buying this from a market would've yielded at least 3-3½ clusters at market price (compensating for the ice & shells). at least, i had a better experience at Ale's Steakhouse.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Samantha Coffman · Dec 2025

the crab shack -ordered the chicken nuggets as the appetizer, that was 7 chicken nuggets for $14, and the chicken nuggets tasted like cooked frozen bagged nuggets you can buy at Walmart, that was way over priced for 7 chicken nuggests Stake fajita with a side of veggies -veggies tasted nasty -veggies that came with the stake were all overcooked and charcoal, nasty -whatever they put on the stake made it tastes bad, stake was way overcooked. The only good thing was the ranch, had to dip my stake in the ranch to eat it, that was the only thing I ate. Horrible, would never recommend

★★★★★ 5.0 Last of the Huntsmen · Feb 2026

Just in town for a few days and was looking something other than the normal food options. I came across this unsuspecting place and was surprised by the quality and atmosphere in this small town. From someone who often orders spicy chicken sandwiches, I have never one that tasted this good! I never would have imagined I’d find the best tasting in Ridgecrest. The seasoned fries were also amazing!!! Service was quick and friendly. Definitely stop by here if you ever find yourself in this town.

I know there there is a little trepidation about eating seafood in the desert, but this place might surprise you. I have enjoyed fish tacos up and down the coast and was up there with some of the best. The service was great. My only complaint is I could not locate an Online menu. But overall a good experience.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Don Olkeriil · Nov 2023

Love seafood and this place did not disappoint. Came in and immediately enjoyed the vibe! The menu had an amazing selection but because I was by myself, I was able to fully enjoy the menu. I ordered an appetizer and the fried fish and they tasted amazing! Food came out nice and hot and at a decent time. The appetizer I got had lobster and shrimp in it and was phenomenal! If I am ever back in Ridgecrest, I want to come back to try their seafood boils with my family. Overall, good food, and great experience!
