Brand new hidden gem! They are a bit hidden as the entrance is parallel to the street. Small inside with about 9 tables, nautical themed, and very cute! We arrived at about 6 pm on Friday night.. we were graciously greeted and seated. There were 4 of us, and we ordered: calamari, garlic noodles, the combo with double shrimp and crawfish, and king crab. We all had the house lemon sauce. The food was absolutely amazing! The French fries that were served under the calamari were so crispy and delicious. I just cant say enough about this place. Selfishly, I dont want to share this find with everyone... but its just too good not to! Super friendly.. great service!
Excellent Cajun seafood place. My wife and I had stopped in for dinner and picked a seafood bag. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing!Were definitely going to be back in the future and it feels like you cant go wrong with anything on the menu at Lemon Crab!
I ordered the beef burger with garlic fries instead of regular fries and the Cajun garlic shrimp roll.The customer service was great. We ordered over the phone and it was quick and ready in 15 minutes. we arrived as the dish came out and began eating 5 minutes after leaving the restaurant. The place is small with a lot of sunlight.The food was overall not impressive and bland.The beef burger was ordered as-is on the menu. Over the phone it was mentioned that the burger would come with a slice of fresh pineapple even though that was not listed on the menu. The pineapple did not go with the overall bland flavor and did nothing to add to it. Despite having what seemed like mayo and a thousand island sauce it was SUPER BLAND. Did not have a good flavor. It didnt have much of a beef flavor either or any noticable seasoning. The lettuce was fresh which was nice and crunchy. Overall very dissatisfied with the burger that just left me wishing for a better burger. The 1/3 giant burger place nearby has a better burger as does other local areas including the nearby Wendys.The Cajun garlic shrimp did not look like in the picture online. I should have taken pictures to go with the post. The roll didnt taste much like Cajun but did have a nice garlicky flavor and the shrimp was nicely cooked. The bread it was served on tasted cheap and I didnt really care for. It had a huge butter flavor to it. It was an okay item. The side salad it came with had too much of the dressing and seemed to be swimming in it so I didnt eat that.Both dishes came with fries and both set of fries (the garlic and regular fries) were soggy. No crunch just soggy fries which were a disappointment. It tasted like the oil hasnt been changed in a while. The amount of fresh garlic on the garlic fries was nice, but not much beyond that. They were too greasy and non crunchy.I wanted to give this place a chance and support a local restaurant. Sadly was too disappointed with the result and wont be returning here. Great customer service, not the best food.
What a lovely find for a very different Valentines Day dinner! A woman-owned small business! Hubby and I decided very last minute to celebrate together and after a search of local seafood boil places (thank goodness we have a variety!) I called Lemon Crab after seeing Recently opened and Cajun on their listing. Was told two tables just opened up (it was already 7:30) and we were there five minutes later. The 1st combo was the perfect quantity of food for us - crawfish, mussels, shrimps and the included sides of corn, potatoes and sausage. We added a corn and garlic noodles (YUM!) because we ordered medium spicy, perfectly enjoyable with the unspiced noodles and bonus corn. No beer yet since theyre awaiting their license so we enjoyed our meal with water.Cant wait to return with our teens and enjoy these scrumptious flavors with a cold brew to wash down the heat!We also met the brother of one of the owners during the excellent customer service experience we received and talked veteran-to-veteran about career exploration after service. A wonderful evening out, meeting our Hayward neighbors bringing a family-owned business to town with truly GREAT food and lovely people. Go there and support the ladies of Lemon Crab and thank me later!
Had a great experience, all the food was really good. Large portions and great prices if you compare to other seafood boils. Ordered the bags of shrimp and king crab..nothing was left after we finished!
Perfect little stop for a bite of seafood! Very attentive staff great clam chowder, snow crab legs and garlic noodles!!
I was here a month ago. The seafood boil that they do was underseasoned and there was no wow, no heat for their hottest flavor and it was bland. The burgers that were ordered were terrible, there was no flavor and it didnt look like meat. It came with a pineapple slice and some dressing that belongs on a salad. At the time of order it wasnt specified that those would be on the burger as the menu said tomato, mayo, an grilled onions. The fish filets were not filets but more fish nuggets, they were salty and oily. The fries were soggy and tasted like old oil.They were willing to give a refund after I was already in my car driving out of the parking lot.
The food was well prepared and the service A1! However, I still dont get it. Eating food out of a bag is just gross. Most people are getting it to go. Ill bet to put in bowls and use utensils.
I like this store because the seafood is fresh, especially the clams, it is big and fresh.
We ordered Combo #2, 1lb of shrimp, and extra corn and it was the perfect amount for a family of 4! We will definitely be ordering more in the future.
Very delicious shrimp, garlic noodles, fried fish fillet, and calamari. All the fried goods were crispy.
This place was Chinese food they slapped a new sign on it and make Cajun food same owners and I ordered the Fish and fries they gave you fish nuggets it was horrible. My daughter order hamburgers they messed up the order we will never go back to that overpriced restaurant again.
Fantastic food. The Lobster Roll was stuffed full of Lobster and tasted great!
Food was really great and staff was really nice! Definitely going back again!
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW! DEFINITELY GOING TO TRY AND EAT HERE ONCE A WEEK. Try it you will not be disappointed!
Great find for meeting family halfway between Oakland and Fremont.
A little too pricey
Great food
Super cool. Excellent service. And very rich

2023-10-25 06:22:55My friend introduced me to try Lemon Crab. I tried the combo 2 which was recommended by the store. It is never too spicy and has a very strong garlic flavor. It contains fresh lobster, snow crab, corn, potato, sausage and shrimp. It is very large, and the flavors are very enjoyable. The area is comfortable in the restaurant makes me feel delighted, and this kind of meal is very mouthwatering, even before I dine in. I will recommend this very much to my friends.

2023-08-20 06:36:00I came here on a Saturday night and was immediately greeted and seated by the owner herself who was very friendly and nice. The dining area is small yet cozy and simple, which is just how I like it as the main focus should be on the food. I got the lobster roll which was absolutely delicious! Both the lobster and the bun were very nicely seasoned and full of flavor that just melts in your mouth with every bite.

2023-08-06 06:39:04I dined in today and it overall was a great experience!! Love that it’s family oriented! The flavor was good … unlike most boils the sauce was on the looser side (watery) I suggest thickening the base (sauce) with more garlic or different butter that will be more on the solid thicker side… other than that very good very flavorful decent amount of food and fairly priced . Will visit again 🙏🏽

2023-02-23 04:40:52This place is awesome. We went for my husband birthday. Got the garlic fries as an appetizer and they were so good,mixed fresh and cooked garlic great layers of garlic flavor.We did the diy bucket with the lemon Crab seasoning. Everything was cooked very well, both crab and lobster. And let me tell you, those spices on the corn turned that corn up to eleven! When you go and you should, make sure to dip your items in the bucket sauce. So flavorful.
