Crabcakes911

Great experience over all! Yes, pricey but I understand why: tons of crab. You want these people to give their product and time away for free?! I recommend this food truck!

Don’t get me wrong, the food was very good. However, a very small crab cake sandwich, a bowl of crab bisque, and 2 weird lemon waters (only drinks they had) were 33 dollars. Just way way overpriced.

Excellent service and nice staff! The food is excellent and I recommend trying their crab cakes if you are a seafood lover!

Just ok. The crab cakes were good. A little over priced, but seeing as they have no fillers so to some it must be worth it. What got me was their idea of a lemon slice. Seriously smaller than my GNC vitamin chews! Don’t be stingy it’s just a lemon. As for their 911sauce mayonnaise and tapatio taste about the same.

Outrageously expensive, tiny portions, or at least from their food truck. The crab tasted good but unless you have $ 40 to spend on yourself for food I would avoid it.

Crab cakes here are better than any other I have tried at restaurants in San Diego. However, $ 12.95 for 2 cakes at 2.5 ounces each is still a lot to pay for a meal where you do not get the niceties of being served at a table. If I lived right next to the truck stop (as at the Village Apartments near Qualcomm Stadium and had able set with wine and sides (plus someone to take away the dishes and wash them!), then the meal would definitely be worthwhile! Will try again when the truck is closer to my home! Not fun driving the I-​15 seven miles during rush hour traffic.

At the recent Annual Sand Sculpting Challenge and Art Expo at the B Street Pier in San Diego, I came across this food truck specializing in all things crab. I ordered the half and half, a combo of one crab cake and a cup of crab soup. The crab component was fresh and plentiful in both dishes.
However my main dissapointment was the price of their «sun brewed» iced tea. They charged $ 5 a cup and with a straight face! When I pointed out to the cashier that their sign said «drinks $ 3» she came out of the truck with a piece of chalk and changed the iced tea to $ 5 right then and there!
Heaven knows the difference between a bottle of $ 3 water and that same water with a tea bag in it, but I don’t.
Come on Crabby Patty, let the crabs be the only ones that «pinch» your customers!

Had the 3 oz sliders for $ 9. They had a decent amount of crab and it was REALLY tasty. Especially with the chipotle spicy sauce they give you with it! I do wish though that it came with a small side as well… otherwise, very yummy!

One of the best crab cakes I have ever had! Fresh crab, great portion size, the dipping sauce is marvelous and so is the lemonade.
This food truck arrived to my apartment complex near UTC and I hope it will be back soon.

Ive eaten crab cakes maybe twice ever. Had these and will definitely be eating more on a regular basis. Im a socal man but boy howdy do I want to visit New England.

While visiting the newest Farmer’s Market in San Diego at Fisherman’s Wharf we noticed this food truck. Never having heard their story before, we read their bio and decided they should be honored with our $$. Hubby is a huge crab cake fan and will ALWAYS order them if they are on a menu. I have a personal aversion to them, so I never partake.
We approached the truck and even though there was NO ONE in line it took them a while to acknowledge and take our order. Our order was a very difficult one, we ordered crab cakes. It took them over 10 minutes to produce them and yes I understand they are made to order, but have you ever made them? They are simple especially when the mixture is already put together. The gals working the truck were in a very giddy and happy mood. Normally this would be a great thing, but since they were more interested in giggling and cleaning their truck then getting our order to us, it was starting to irritate me. By the way, these two gals were easily in their late 40’s.
When our order was finally given to us, we all sort of stared at each other. I looked at her and said, don’t you want to be paid for this? OH BOY, more giggling. Then they play argued over who did what, this took several more minutes for me to hand over the $ 13 it cost.
After we opened the package I realized why they were laughing so much, the joke was on us. The $ 13 bought us two dollar sized crab cakes and a little sauce to dip them in. WHAT WHAT!!!
I am sorry, but this is from a food truck, no table service, no real staff, maybe some gas cost and $ 13 for pieces of crab lightly fried??? NO thank you. Hubby said they tasted «a’ight».
I LOVE food trucks, love the gourmet direction they have taken and I love to taste their goodies. THIS food truck I promise you I will pass on from now on.

Im sorry. Not impressed w the crabcake sliders. 9 bucks for 3 sad sliders? I totally appreciate where they are coming from, but i actually enjoyed the fries froma different truck than the crabcake sliders. Wont ever go back.

I love how we get different food truck that stop by our apartment complex every week, and this week was no exception. I had never heard of CrabCakes 911 but I do love crab so decided to check them out. At first glance, the prices seem a bit high but then you realize its about the same price as ordering from a restaurant so it doesn’t seem so bad. Plus a portion of their profits every year go towards first responders like firefighters.
The first thing that struck me was how they actually listed the oz of crab you get for each dish. Thats surprising since most places would rather not let you know how much you’re getting and just try to up-​sell you on the expensive item that may or may not actually have more crab. I decided to get the crab cake sandwich which is filled with two 3oz crab cakes and server with a side of cajun remoulade.
Service was a tiny bit slow and a long line formed since they only had 1 person cooking and taking orders but it was well worth it.
My first bite just melted in my mouth. Like the other reviews have pointed out, its a real crab cake, not previously frozen and not filled with breadcrumbs or any other filler. The taste of just fresh lump crab blended together with old bay seasoning was wonderful by itself. Took it up a notch by adding the remoulade that came along with it, a very tasty blend of mayo, cayenne pepper and garlic was a perfect compliment. Looking forward to the next time they stop by!

I just can’t believe I had crabcakes that freakin amazing from a food truck!!! Like legit, melt in your mouth-​not in your hand, straight to the point, no extra fillers, Crabcakes!!! The creole spicy mustard complimented them perfectly. Nothing over the top, just amazing food served with a smile. This truck served our first responders during ⁹⁄₁₁ and proceeds of all the money it makes is donated to that cause. How many food trucks do you know that do that? Enough said! Makes me want to come back or track them down all over San Diego when I get that Mr. Crabs itch! Sorry Spongebob!

I’ve been wanting to try this food truck for a while and FINALLY did at the Triton 5K at UCSD. It was around 9:30am and already ate, so I got something small, the crab cake sliders. These are delicious with lump meat, yeah!!! Awesome the crab is wild caught and no fillers! Loved the spicy sauce that accompanied it! Next time I’m trying more items on the menu.
When you see the Crabcakes 911 red food truck, go check it out, you’ll be happy you did!

The crab cakes are for REAL and off the hook! I was able to sample this seafood fare and just based on the crabcakes alone (oh okay it was also the added humor of the menu board offering FREE hugs) makes this one five stars for sure! Their crab cakes are almost all crab! Gluten free. in this.case means that I swear they dont use bread crumbs.
The prices are reasonable considering the amount. of real.crab your getting. The salad that they make to accompany the crab cakes is very light but full of flavor.
This lil red foodien truck is worth trying and following! Thumbs up!
Thanks for the crabs!

I found this vendor at a street fair time of thing and boy was I glad we ordered a simple crab cake sandwich. The cakes were stuffed with crab meat (not useless filler like bread crumbs or whatever), they were crisp, hot and had a terrific flavor. The sauce that came with it was spicy and enhanced the crab flavor for sure. I look forward to seeing them again in the area.

Came across this food truck while visiting AleSmith Brewing. While the beer was good, I was blown away by the food. The bf and I shared the crab cake sandwich and the crab cakes were so so so good.
Being as we are both SoCal natives, we don’t have much to compare to, but you could tell that it was fresh crab, with big chunks and no fillers, no celery mixed in, not mayo filled, etc. You could taste crab, and it was delicious!

Another Food Truck Tuesday up in Torrey Pines and there’s a fire engine red truck today that I’ve never seen before. After spending a few minutes reading the super awesome message on the side of the truck (see picture), I knew that this was the new go-​to for me.
Simple enough menu, I had the crabcakes. While they were absolutely delish, because they’re nearly all actual crab with very little breadcrumb filler, I was still a little hungry after. No picture of those — not very photogenic.

We got to try the chowder and the crabcake and they were delicious. The crabcake was especially amazing with big fat pieces of real crab. It’s hard to find great crabcakes in San Diego and these were delicious!
