Craw Station - San Francisco

Found this place by groupon, it was 4 of us, trying cajun garnel and crab, garlic noodles, sweet kartoffels all were delicious so garlicky so yum .

One of the worst dining experiences in my 43 year lifetime. Let's start with the service. My group of six sat down immediately. It was at least 10 mins before our server stopped by our table to take our drink orders. Then another 10 minutes to receive them. The restaurant was not terribly busy. We ordered the gumbo as a starter. Once it finally arrived, it was luke warm and the taste was almost inedible. Virtually no sausage, no chicken, no shrimp. Basically warm water with a horrible rue and celery and okra. I personally took three bites and discarded. We also ordered spicy Cajun wings as apps. The wings were completely dry with a small amount of dry rub on them. Edible, but not good. 4 of us ordered the crab for our entrees, one ordered crawfish and one ordered shrimp. The crab was not fresh and the gentleman who ordered shrimp became violently ill within an hour of leaving the restaurant. To top off the horrible meal and service, their credit card machine was down... How this restaurant received 4+ stars on open table is a mystery. We will never return. Just a bad all around experience.

Great crab, shrimp, clam, and crawfish place. Super spicy. Mild is just right. Fried foods are great too! Delicious garlic laden sauces!

Service so so. Awful taste in music--hyper generic elelctronic pop, way too loud. Almost ruined our dining. Ambiance would be much enhanced by Cajun, N'orleans jazz, or even alternative southern country to go with the informality of the place and the food. Waitress was sweet but a bit oblivious of our basic needs...such as requested water, more napkins, plate for crab detritus, etc. The food is so good, this could be a real gem with a few improvements. Crab was delicate and sweet--yum!

The food was delicious and served immediately. the mango pineapple cooler went well with the spicy crust fish.
