This was our first trip to Fisherman's Warfe. After walking about 1 hour to Pier 39, all we wanted was some fresh crab. So we saw Crab House and thought we would try it out. First of all, there is one toilet stall in the restroom, so hope for no lines! We were seated in about 6 minutes without a reservation during Labor Day weekend, so that was good. There is a water pitcher on each table, so you always have cold water. We ordered the dungeoness crab dish for 2 to share = 3lbs for $50. We didn't realize that sides didn't come with that price, so we order garlic bread for $6 as an appetizer and a bowl of garlic noodles to share for $8. I had water and my boyfriend had 1 beer. First they brought the garlic bread out: 1 slice of bread, cut in half. That's what you get for $6. First disappointment. About 10 minutes later they bring out a black sizzling skillet of crab, which we immediately noticed were hairy and covered in barnacles. It also did not appear to be 3 pounds worth of crab. And then $8 for a small bowl of egg noodles with an oily garlic tasting sauce on them. The crab was overcooked and brown inside, not sweet and white like good crab should be. Their ""amazing secret recipe"" garlic butter is not amazing. Your crab basically sits in a mess of oil. And good luck getting your waiter's attention to ask for more napkins. Oh, but they do give you a plastic bib to wear! (If you dare!) After all these disappointments and not exactly a full stomach, our bill totaled almost $75! I would suggest staying away from this place and finding yourself a Red Lobster! At least there your $50 crab order for 2 consists of Alaskan king crab, side salads, cheddar-bay biscuits, and garlic mashed potatoes! Plus the crab is sweet, tender, WHITE, and not hairy and covered in barnacles! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPEND AT LEAST $70 FOR AN AWFUL MEAL! We will never go back here.
Pros: Seated in 6 minutes, constant supply of water...
Cons: Awful food, awful service, and dinner for 2 = $70+!!!
