I went in for something light and debated between tacos and the seafood egg rolls. I opted for the egg rolls with hopes that they would be the thicker crunchy wrap, but they’re more like spring roll wraps.

When you’re ready for a seafood boil, Crab Fever is a local go-to spot! It was a piece of Southern Louisiana style food that I love to eat. You can get messy or use the gloves they provide. A bib is necessary for all those juicy goodness if you enjoy that! Crab legs/Corn/Sausage or shrimp are my favorite.

I been coming to crab fever since 2018 that how much I love it. It is only seafood place to me here in San Diego that I think has the best seafood for West(I’m from the East coast). I also love the customer service they provide especially from Karla. Karla always providing good customer service. Please Crab Fever continue keep doing what you do! I recommend anyone who is seafood lover looking for good seafood place that is good and worth it.

Went here about 2 weeks ago based on reviews. I see overall stars has already fallen since then. I should have read the latest comments stating price doesn’t match the food. $24 for lobster roll. 18% mandatory gratuity fee for dining in. Making it $28! ($30 after tax). I decided to eat just outside their doors and save $5. The hotdog bun was likely Costco bulk. The fries tasted like Walmart frozen seasoned fries. The lobster was good lacked flavor. This would be a great $12 food truck roll. Not a $24-$30 45 minute wait roll for which I was quoted 15 minutes.

Food was good but salty. I remember that the price was less on the menu and the waitress told me that was $5 dollars more( it is not the money it is about honesty) tip are included in the bill!

The service was excellent. Which should be expected for the included 18%. I had the oysters($4/11?), cajun frys($7) and club soda($3). My total was $24+(including service fee)

Really love this place. The food is delicious. Our favorite go-to seafood boil. Unfortunately there is a new policy where 18% tip will be applied to all dine in orders. Usually this applies to parties of 6 or more. I like to tip. But it should never be mandatory. It’s all based on how good the service is. Will not be dining here again.

Great seafood, service and ambiance, in National City! I like when they give out the gloves! We took our time and staff was attentive. This is our second time here. We will visit again next time we are in the area.

Waitress was really accomodating, place is nice to enjoy the rests of the day coming from work. I went in there during happy hour, the calamari is a good size portion for $5. We ordered the $59 menu #3. Good for 3 people and some leftovers. I would go back and eat another meal here!
