Submarine Crab - Garden Grove, California

The torpedo sauce medium is amazing. The food was amazing. The TVs show food shows, so it was interesting to watch while we waited. I would skip the wings, but the garlic noodles, sweet potato fries, rangoons, and the crawfish were great. I suggest live crawfish when in season.

My favorite go-to crawfish spot, crawfish is always fresh and super delicious with their butter garlic sauce. I always get their combo which let's you select 3lbs of either shrimp, Mussels, clams, and crawfish. You can mix and match them to your desire.

Got Combo 1 and it was $45. I would say it’s a pretty good price for all that we got considering other crawfish places I’ve been to. The cajun sauce was really good.
Spice Tiering: We got the mild and it was not hot at all.
Food came out pretty quick also.

Great atmosphere, clean establishment, food is amazing! My only downside was the service. First waiter wasn't giving us his full attention, he was talking to other people while trying to take our order. Well guess what happen to our order, it was WRONG. I don't blame the whole place I blame the waiter. The girls behind the counter were very apologetic and took care of us. I ordered the wings bbq sriracha, Honey Mango, and cajun fries. Whoa! AMAZING! Popcorn chicken is dark meat, I'm not a fan of it, but I'm still going to eat it. My family loved the crab and shrimp. The sauce that comes with it is amazing. This place it's a must! I can't wait to go back when we visit California again.

This is by far my worst experience at Submarine crab. We ordered 1 lbs of crawfish, one Cajun fries, and one order of Cajun wings. The food was mediocre and a total waste of money. The crawfish was bland and had no flavor. I seriously was dunking it in the salt and lime sauce or else my crawfish tasted like it was boil in hot water, NO FLAVORS at all. It was not cheap either, live crawfish is $15/lb. The Cajun wings was quite a disappoint as well. The wings was crispy, but as you can see in my pictures, it tasted just like deep fried wings, not Cajun wings, seriously I didn't taste one bit of Cajun flavor. My fries were pretty decent, but it also lacks the Cajun flavor. Overall I was extremely disappointed in the quality of food we got here. I have no issues with the service, because the server was very nice.

I used to swear by Cl*ws but this has easily become the best seafood boil in Garden Grove. Honestly, you will not find a more quality restaurant. Clean, well organized, and very friendly service. Do yourself a favor and try them at least once. You will be impressed!

The service here is exceptional! I've been here once dine-in and twice take-out. The employees are always friendly and patient. The first time I came, the server took the time to explain the menu and answered all of my questions. The hand washing experience at the table was so unique and fun! The seasoning for the crawfish and shrimp is not as heavy as Boiling Crab, which is why I prefer this place. It's not super salty so I don't feel bad after eating it. I recommend getting the garlic noodles as well. Just eat it while the noodles are still hot! For our to-go order, they gave us construction paper, bibs, salt/pepper and lime without being asked. You have to ask at BC Togo and they can get stingy, which is another reason why I would come here instead. I highly recommend you try Submarine Crab!

Submarine Crab is my favorite place to get seafood. I've had seafood from the big chains before, but was never impressed until I came to Submarine Crab. The prices are much better than the big chains and t he quality is 100% better.

Due to COVID restrictions, Submarine Crab has a plenty of outdoor seating and all the staff follows the guidelines. The staff is very attentive with water refills, napkins (you know you will need a ton of them when eating seafood boil).

We liked that the seafood not only came in the traditional plastic bag, but the bag was inside a cast iron dutch oven and they provide you with additional sauce for dipping.

We ordered combo 1 with a side of garlic noodles. The garlic noodles are plain, but when combined with the seafood and sauce, it's MINDBLOWING!

Next time you are in the OC and craving for seafood, come check out Submarine Crab. You won't regret it!
