My wife and I had lunch here and it was very good. The service from Candace was great and the food was excellent. Definitely a multi person meal as the portions are big. We had the bucket for two and we had plenty of leftovers to go. They pour the food on your table, so just dig in 🤓

ordered the single bucket & added the steamed clams, which was enough for 2. We went with the snow crab and shrimp for our 2 items, which came with potatoes, corn, and sausage. I'd rate it 7/10. I didn't have much flavor because it's a dry rub. The clams I'd give 9/10 they are prepared wonderfully with a tasty cream sauce, we used the sauce as a dipping sauce for our shrimp & potatoes. The bread is wonderful. I'd give it an 8.5/10.

The Cracked Crab has the best food in town. I had the Maine Lobster tail, which was pricy but worth it. All the food was delicious and perfectly seasoned. I would highly recommend it. The key lime pie was to die for 😃!

We have been going to cracked crab for years and the food is always delicious and service is great. We went on a Saturday at 4:30pm and we had a small wait. There is seating in front of the restaurant. We opted to walk from our hotel as parking can be a bit of a challenge around there. We ordered the bucket for two and chose shrimp, snow crab and Alaskan king crab. Everything was delicious. My daughter got a grilled cheese on the kids menu and that was good as well. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had an amazing lunch here. The service is on point . A small restaurant that goes big on Quality and flavor. The server was very patient and answered all of my questions. It was the first time I got to try bairdi crab. It was as delicious as she promised. My husband had a Shrimp po Boy sandwich which was just as delicious And flavorful As my crab. Can't wait to come back and try this place again, Truly a jem Hidden in Pismo Beach.
