The Drunken Crab North Hollywood — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Please don’t come here! My stomach has been in shambles for two days because they served bad crab that smelled like ammonia!

First off when I walked in the restaurant the hostess refused to greet me and simply stared at me which I thought was strange. I proceeded to ask for a table for 1 and she seats me.

I then never got a server to my table or anyone to check on me but the manager did end up taking my order.

I ordered snow crab, potatoes and corn, side of rice and the all 3 sauce. When my food arrived the waitress said, “Did you order this” mind you this is seafood restaurant so everything comes in bags, how would I know if this is my order lol? I say yes and she drops the bag and goes to another table where her family was sitting and socializes with them and completely ignores me as I’m trying to flag her down to let her know I’m missing items.

I only got the crab and corn… no potatoes no rice…

I start eating the crab and I smell a strong cleaning supplies smell. I thought I was trippen so I took a bite or corn and it tasted the same. I then tried to eat one crab leg again the smell is so strong I had to put it down. It took 8 mins for someone to come back to my table even after waving multiple waiters down.

On top of the food being old and rotten the sauce was absolutely horrible. The sauce was a movie theatre popcorn liquid base with a bunch of paprika/chili powder and dried herbs. It had no flavor what so ever and it was not the seasonings as adversities (lemon pepper and garlic was non existent)

DO NOT COME HERE! I wasted gas and my time for rude service and horrible food that gave me bad food poisoning. It’s two days later and I still can’t eat and my stomach is still...

I definitely love this place and I would recommend it to everyone my favorite part of it is that they have my favorite beer on tap Green Flash West Coast IPA you guys got to try. This was my first restaurant of this type to come too and ever since I decided Well along with my girlfriend to try the other ones such as, The Boiling Crab as everyone knows about and another one in South Central around the Crenshaw mall area the Kickin Crab and let me tell you guys the drunken crab is the best hands down five stars would give it more if I could the other places they get the two stars. I will definitely always come here if you go on the weekends be prepared to spend an hour waiting but it's well worth it. Also one more thing if you would like your shrimp to be peeled and devein this is the only place offers that. Honestly I don't mind I usually like it with the shell maybe even the heads I think it gives a better flavor but my girlfriend prefer it peeled and deveined and this is the only place that offers that FYI Kickin Crab serve snow beer 1...

Had a chance to play try the menu for a private event before the Grand opening. Food was great, we got a lbs of shrimp with special marinated sauce that had a bit of spice level to it. Was very full-on flavor and delicious. We also got a lbs of crab legs those with the more spicy sauce as well as corn on the cobb. Both the shrimp and the crab kegs where high if good flavor and taste.

The staff was all very friendly and ready to help the people as they where arriving. There are many boots on the sides and smaller tables towards the center of the room as well as seating on the bar area, which at the time was not in service yet and no alcohol was been served.

One small detail in would say as far as improvements would be to add stalls to the bathrooms so the toilets are not just left out exposed to everyone in the room.

Would definitely like to come again once everything is fully opend and operational...
