Bag O’ Crab - Merced

Good food and excellent service. First time I have had a Robot deliver my food, the waitress still had to place our food on the table. Love the table setup, with disposable cloth. Plastic ware and drinking cups do everything is just gathered up in the table covering at the end of the meal.

I 've never been to a place like this before it felt almost surreal, and not in a good way. The prices at the restaurant are exorbitantly high, especially at a restaurant where you literally eat with just your hands. Ontop of easily having to pay fifty dollars for a meal for two, you are only given plastic cutlery to use, along with a plastic plate and cup. We asked our server about this, and she responded by saying it was so they wouldn 't have to deal with washing outstains on the cups/silverware. I was genuinely confused, because... isn 't that what a good dishwasher employee is supposed to do? The automated robot was an interesting take, but it seemed like there was next to no point in having one as aserver would have to go out with it regardless, making the purpose of automation in the first place redundant. The food was nothing special either, tasting bland and generic, which was surprising given what you 're paying for. The fish andchips were good, though, but I wouldn 't go to the restaurant for that alone I can definitely get with the theme of getting Down 'n Dirty with your hands and was open to the idea of eating without any restraint to having to deal withsocial etiquette, but the restaurant and the execution of that idea fell flat hard. It felt like the restaurant cut corners at any opportunity to cut costs and was tacky as hell, with not even providing decent utensils and cups/plates,using automation (although done redundantly), and the insane prices for the uninspired food. I wouldn 't go here again. I respect the idea of trying something new though, so I 'll give two stars. Included a picture of some of the food I hadtoo, which... you can decide for yourself, haha. Seems to work for others, but sorry, it 's not for me.

Great service. The kids loved the robot servers that brought food to the table. Raw oysters are served with lime and Tabasco. The seafood boil comes in a bag as shown. Feels a little weird and is messy to reach in and grab the food, but they provide gloves. If you like spicy seafood, definitely check it out.

Nice place to have some fresh sea food. Service is nice and there robot ???? server is pretty cool. I ordered some fish n fries it was very good

We had a wonderful meal! We ordered the king crab combo (which only had 3 legs) and came with corn, potatoes and shrimp. I added an order of mussels also and everything was really good. I loved the garlic butter flavor but they have lots to choose from. My only complaint was when picking up the order. They should have a separate line for online pick up because this place is really popular so it doesn?t feel right to cut the line when there is only on person working the front.Overall it is a bit pricey but not bad if you split the cost with someone. Would try again!
