The Bucket Crab and Crawfish

Great tasting food awesome customer service cool environment with relax setting. thumbs up… crawfish, shrimp, crab with a Corona what else is there to say.

GREAT SERVICE !! Never disappointed, the fried cheesecake is BOMB a little eye candy as well (handsome youngmen)

This is my second time here and have had excellent service each time I’ve came! The tempo of the staff is quick, but they make sure your experience is first class and your drink is always full. The dance music here makes you want to have fun and celebrate any occasion during your visit! This place is Highly recommended for any occasion!

All it takes is some good ol’sea food to get our attention! I’ve been running errands all day and forgot what time it was until I realized it’s close to the Superbowl start time (about an hour, give or take), my son’s been wanting wings for the big game and I’ve been wanting something different from your standard or shall I say average Superbowl snacks! We stumbled across The Bucket by cruising down Euclid trying to see if anything appealing catches our eyes, and Lo and Behold… The Bucket!
We ordered two Catfish w/​Cajun fries, Fried Shrimp w/​Cajun fries, 2 crab cakes, 20 pc Cajun wings, and deep fried cheesecake. Let me just say, everything I tasted was superb! I would recommend this place to any seafood lovers out there. The catfish was on point, seasoning and everything about the portions were worth the money! Fried shrimp was ok, nothing to write home about, but it wasn’t terrible neither. Crab cakes were surprisingly delicious, I say surprisingly because they looked burnt at first, but I guess that’s the crispy texture. Deep fried cheesecake was also delicious, but I’ve definitely had better. Now the wings are reviewed from my son’s perspective because he’s the reason we got the wings. He said they were good, but not as good as WingStop or Wings N’ Things or Chikki Chikki Wings (I get it!!! Anywhere that focuses on JUST wings!), he’s very particular about his wings because it’s all he ever eats, which is why we gave it a ranking of 4 stars. I’d go back and eat there, even if it’s by myself! ;)

My favorite place hands down! No one to compare to ! always worth the wait! I love the staff also ! Never disappointed in them! Definitely never disappointed in the food ! The fries are always a must have! This place will Forever be my favorite place!!!
If your coming in a large group definitely call and asked reservations ahead of time!

On January 201,2016 i decided to visit the restaurant for dinner around 9pm. As i was waiting for my food one of the servers dropped two beers on me that were not even ordered by my table. Insted of apologizing the waiter just picked up the empty bottles and left. I am not saying that the food is bad. What i am going to say is that their servers and customer service is trash!

This place was ok. The food was good, but kinda pricy. Seafood was sold by the lb. Sides are added separately so that was disappointing. The place itself was small and kinda tight. I felt like I was eating with strangers the tables are so close together.

Great food! Gotta peel shrimp but if you know how to peel em right it ain’t nothin. Corn and sausage is legit all covered in whatever sauce you get. It’s worth the mess!

Great service! Nice room if it’s not too crowded. BUT idk if this is how all your sauces taste like but mine and my friends’ tasted like ketchup. no condiments whatsoever. the fries either. We asked for more Cajun which they gladly did!
I would recommend if you’re not picky about your food. I would try again but I wouldn’t want to have to eat something I do not like, the second time around.

I’ve always had a good experience coming here. Never a wait and food comes out pretty fast. I really recommend the Cajun fries, they’re my favorite!

Service was good and the staff was friendly, but the food felt a bit off to me. IMO, the sauce for the pound of shrimp was too sweet and didn’t have that mild spicy kick I was looking for as I would get at other Cajun seafood restaurants. At least the red potatoes are always good. Hmmm, their fries were good, too, but not the best. I also got an order of Cajun wings to share and was not impressed with the flavor and dryness of the chicken. Overall, the experience was good.

If anyone rates this below 4 stars they are telling a bold faced lie!!! I’m from the east coast and I know what good seafood taste like. This place is the closest to New Orleans style seafood west of the Mississippi lol.
Warning: get the sauce on the side because it can get messy. and do NOT get hotter than medium unless you like your food extremely spicy because the medium sauce is actually hot lol.
MUST TRY: FRIED SHRIMP/​CAJUN FRIES/​SNOW CRAB/​SHRIMP/​MUSSELS

I would honestly give this returant a 5 starts but the last time I went I left my glasses there and were not seen by any waiter after they cleaned the table. :(
I love this place I been to the boiling crab, LA Crab and some other in West Covina but this is by far the best place hands down.
We usually get shrimp /​medly/​mild or medium
I love the recipe here it’s amazing!

This place was decent. I wasn’t blown away or anything.
–The sauce: more like a paste compared to the traditional oily sauces most places serve. I prefer the oilyer sauces. Also, there was a total lack of garlic
–prices: more expensive than I would expect from a shrimp bag places. The beers were pricey as well.
–service: wasn’t anything special but we always got what we needed.
Overall, I didn’t hate this place, nor would I go back. There’s a bomb place on citrus that I prefer.

Absolutely love this place!!! Service is quick, food always fresh and fun atmosphere to be in. I’ve been here several times and the only disappointment I ever had was of course when crab was out of season. This business has done exceptionally well! Love this place over kickin crab, boiling crab and the catch. There’s just something about the experience and the taste that makes you come back!

Been craving shrimp and crawfish for a while and decided to try this place after having it bookmarked for a while.
So we arrived and promptly got seated. There was a total of five of us. A huge paper was placed on our table followed by menus condiments, bibs, a roll of paper towels, and scissors. Our drink order is taken and brought within a few minutes, then our order is taken. I ordered one pound of crawfish and another of shrimp I added corn, sausage, and potatoes. I decided to get the medley sauce medium heat. Alot of time didn’t seem to pass when our orders were brought and we begin to grub.
This place was really good. The shrimp was large, easy to peel, and cooked to perfection. The crawfish was also a good size. The flavor of the sauce was really good and the spiciness level was perfect. Everything was coated perfectly and the sauce was super thick. The corn, potatoes, and sausage was also tasty. I was full and very satisfied, I can’t wait to go back!
Service was good. We were checked on more then a few times and other times when we needed something we would just flag the waiters down.
For dessert we ordered two banana fried cheesecakes and it was so good! All in all we had a great experience food was delish and service was good.

This place is horrible. I’m not too sure if these other reviewers have never had good seafood but this was the worst waste of money.
The servers couldn’t get their stuff together. We asked the girl what they had as domestic beer and she had no clue. Her response was «I really don’t know, do you want me to get someone else? «um sure. We continued the night with every server asking us the same question. So irritating.
Appetizers were so frozen tasting and lacked seasoning. $ 10 for fried calamari lol wow.
The bags were so inconsistent and gross. One bag was so chunky it was like mush. One bag was fairly okay but was spicer than the others. Yet they should’ve been all the same level. The quality of the seafood was not good.
I ordered a michelada and it was in a small styrofoam cup… Im pretty sure all the pictures show a mug or a glass. Nope didn’t get either.
We didn’t even get wet naps to wipe our hands.
Won’t be coming back.

Overview
Good food with okay service. Nothing really special about this place, but there’s nothing really to complain about either except their smaller tables and subpar service.
Pros
— King Crab legs are delicious!
— Shrimp is a must get!
— Their spices aren’t too salty!
— Their spiciest seasoning is flavorful and not too spicy or bitter.
— Their food is made to order.
— Their food is cooked just right, not overcooked nor undercooked which is really important to get the crab texture correct.
Cons
— Small restrooms
— Small tables
— Service is okay, took about 10 minutes to get my refill of water, but they do periodically ask if everything is okay.
— Food is very messy, but that’s what you expect at a crab and crawfish boil!
Personal Thought
— Nothing to complain about except maybe their service. The food was good, but the small tables made it difficult to really enjoy what you were eating.

Was skeptical prior to coming because of mixed Unilocal reviews. We came prepared for the worse, but prepared for the best.
We waited literally less than 5 minutes to be seated on Father’s Day. We were greeted with outstanding customer service. All of the staff were friendly, made recommendations and were constantly coming to check on us. I noticed they were also treated the other patrons with the same customer service.
We all got the king crab lags and clams, corn, potatoes and cole slaw. Everything was delicious. We are already talking about when we will return.
Great Job, thank you!

I actually really liked this place! The flavors were better than the Garlic Crab. (nothing compared to the Boiling Crab) the flavors at the boiling crab seem to be more powerful than all the places we’ve tried. We just try to find somewhere nearby so we don’t have to make the drive. And it will definitely be this place! The sauce we did was the MEDLEY, which is the sauce with all the flavors. It was really good! I liked it even without the lemon and salt. It was comparable.
Now, the CUSTOMER SERVICE. That is another story. Bad. The server was mute and had a serious face not once did he smile. Looked like he hated the job. So pick better employees or train them better thanks :)
