Visited the kids in LA on my and hubby's birthday for 4 days. On our last night, we came here since we were all craving for crab. My daughter is always the one to choose the restaurants we go to and my son requested for a crab hes been craving. Great service and pleasant staff. Nice location and has ample parking. I love their decors too, walking from the front up to the reception and dining area, and the restroom is really clean(one of the first things I consider when eating at restaurants). We got the shrimp, sausage crab combo w corn. Definitely w rice and sweet potato fries and calamari. Yum ya rum yum yummy yummy our tummies are happy Highly recommended

Food: I got the combo 1 with shrimp and crawfish with a little bit of spice. The flavor is tasty. Compared to the boiling crab, this one is less salty and has more options (my mother doesn't like garlic, so Louisiana flavor was better for her). We also appreciate there the option to get a a combo order. The shrimp is also larger here. Service: Our waiter was patient with us. My family doesn't speak english well and I needed to translate and wait for my parents to make their decisions. They were also able to accommodate their ask for hot water and told us to be careful because the water was really hot. They even brought out some ice for it in case it was too hot for them. That's pretty thoughtful. And there is automatic gratuity of 18% for party of 6. Ambiance: I like how spacious the place is. It feels nice!

If you like a rolling cart robot with a digital, pixelated cat face smiling straight at you to deliver your food to your table then I guess this is where you should be. Seafood here is pretty decent; shrimp with house sauce is full of salt forward, garlic cajun flavors where it's balanced with a fresher sweet, acidic lemon juice, salt, and pepper that highlights the seafood's sweetness. Fried catfish is also pretty crisp on the outside, and fall-apart soft inside. It's served with a sweet tartar sauce that helps cut through all the fried items. Service is pretty good as they'll check in on you from time to time and ask to refill your water and drink. Other than that, they're on the constant go just to take the bucket of food from the rolling cart robot to the table. It's a huge restaurant, so perfect for larger groups in a surprisingly less noisy ambiance.

Came here for an early dinner on the weekend, it definitely gets crowded and lots of families dining here. Nice casual place to eat. Service is ok, they use robots to bring the food! We got the combo #1 with atomic sauce. The sauce was good, not super spicy. Compared to boiling crab the sauce isn't as tasty. The Korean short rib plate was good, nice big salad comes with it. The lemon pepper wings weren't too good, extra fried so it was kind of hard, but came out nice and hot. Overall ok sit down restaurant, but everything was a bit salty. Looks like they get all their good reviews for a free macaron sandwich.

Pro: fresh seafood, flavorful sauces, accessible prices. Grow: Garlic noodles a bit overcooked. Bag O crab is a seafood chain with multiple location throughout CA. I finally got to try it at the montebello location and enjoyed the experience! I shared the meal with a friend and we ordered a meal that was fit for 3-4 people! I loved the service, the staff were friendly and efficient. The prices are accessible for seafood, for example the garlic bread was less than $5. This is a family friendly spot that is casual. I loved the seafood theme throughout the restaurant! Food and drink: we ordered the seafood combo which came with king crab, shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes! We opted for the mixed sauce which combined all the house sauces. The flavor was on point and all the seafood was fresh and cooked perfectly. We also ordered a side of fried fish, calamari, garlic bread, and noodles. My favorite was the fried seafood and Cajun fries that came with them! So flavorful and perfectly crisp. The garlic noodles were not my favorite as they were a bit too bland. Overall, this is a great seafood spot in Montebello!

I've come to eat here a couple times now and they never disappoint. I've been wanting to gate keep this place since they opened but now it seems like they've been getting way more attention. Good on them! My friend and I came in on a Friday night and there was no wait time. This was my friends first time after raving about it and she was very impressed. We ordered their margarita & michelada, which were yummy, and some Cajun fries. We both got shrimp boils with the atomic sauce (what would be considered whole shabang at BC) and it was full of flavor. A robot brings your order to your table too! Pretty good spot added to the Montebello menu. Try it out!
