Reviews of Crafty Crab Tampa
Amanda Munguia-Byrd
We got the Blue Crab Combo, Boom Medium. Food was delicious! We look forward to coning back. Hopefully Teri will be our server again because she was great!
Julie Gonz
Great food, cool experience! Nice people and cute atmosphere! Awesome staff!!
Annie Mullins
Me and my family love this chain of Restaurants! Seafood Buttery Garlic style platter is what we always order! Shrimps, snow crabs, and other seafood goodies. Their corn and potatoes. Their bar drinks are really good! Great meal, good pricing.
Jennifer Ashley
The food was delicious! The drinks were strong! Happy Hour was awesome. Our server was life! Very attentive, so sweet, on top of our every need! Tiktok video posted on IG @lifeofjennash.
Eric Drake
Outstanding service and the food portions are huge. The meals are worth the price. One tray of seafood can feed two, unless you are really hungry but that is a lot of food for one to eat. All in my party enjoyed their meals. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Annabelle Beaman
Best seafood boil I've ever had! Super nice employees too.
Sharon Carter
First time visiting. A little pricey but sooo worth every penny. Food was amazing. Had the whole shrimp and crab boil. Great drinks and staff was great. Had an awesome time there for lunch. I highly recommend it!
Amy A
We wanted a steam pot and found it with amazing service! Antez made the night magical. The boom sauce was a big hit, just get it!!! With the steam pot, hubby and I went over and over what the best part was…hard to say, the whole shrimp, crab legs, mussels, clams and sausage were all perfect!
Damiana
My 4 year old daughter and I went in for lunch yesterday and I must say that it was one of the best experiences I've had in a long time. The food was really good. I had a frozen margarita and I really enjoyed it,I can't wait to go back again with my husband.
Kimberly Cue
Such a wonderful place! Dinner was absolutely amazing. Our waitress was such a doll. Will definitely be dining here again.
Richard Yurcak
A little pricey, but the food, service and atmosphere was excellent.
Emma
You got to make the booming sauce! They have delicious boil bags and crab cakes. Our server was very nice and the atmosphere was great. Really good experience. Thank you.
Alanna McGaffic
The food here is always delicious. The staff has always been great. It is a little pricey but it's seafood. We will definitely be back
Sugar Bee
Family togetherness at this one and at the right time it was perfect to visit. It's expensive but I love my seafood.
Julian Munoz
One of the Best tasting crab joints in Florida! The food here tastes outstanding and the prices are competitive with the other crab /seafood places in the area. I wish they had one in Orlando. It would be my go-to for crab and lobster.
Jason Ballard
Wow! First time here... GREAT atmosphere! Food was FANTASTIC! Beers on tap, attentive service & good selection of food. Would recommend to a friend/family. If your price conscience be sure to check the menu online but definitely worth it! See pics for what we ordered! Being picky would be nice if they had grilled chicken for salad or grilled tenders however understand it is a seafood 🦞 place! Gloves/bib provided to stay clean while eating! 😉
Mel G
Crafty Crab did not disappoint. Food was fresh, delicious & hot. Good service. We'll be back!
Sheila Craig
Really cool place, inside is very unique. The food was amazing. I had the catfish, A plus. Everything was on point, I would definitely revisit when we go back.
Peterson Alma
I've had the Crafty Crab twice while in Tampa. Both visits were on point. I will be back. Love some good fresh seafood and the boom seasoning is GREAT!
Fonzo Afre (Mr. Real Reviews)
Nice spot to grab some great tasting seafood at a decent price and location. Loved the fact we got an extra bag of shrimp w the order at no cost! Great flavor and fresh product. Be back soon!
Peace Angelica
Food was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Staff was extremely friendly and even tho they seemed short handed they stayed on top of everyone's orders.
Camille Ruiz
Delicious food! Our waitress was super nice and attentive. Will absolutely be coming back!
Bone James
Excellent food as always. Gotta get the raw oysters and the calamari. Large seafood boil will feed you lunch and dinner.A lil pricey but definitely worth it.
Jo Wasser
Great food large portions, service was great. Steamed Oysters were huge and very good try the BOOM sauce oh so good... A must place for seafood. Very limited menu
Desarae Jarrett
I’ve eaten here 3x dining in and once delivery. It’s so good I went by myself one of those dining in times. Fresh, tasty, great service, etc… The only things I’m not a fan of is the soup and key lime pie. The cheesecake is bussin tho.
Shelley Ballengee
Huge portions and delicious. I had fried tilapia. This entree had 4 pieces of tilapia couldn't eat it all . Very fast service also.
EJB 3
We stopped in here on a Friday evening only for drinks prior to dinner. Although I can’t speak for the food, I can say the bartender and servers were all very friendly and attentive. The drink prices were also very reasonable. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night, which I’m not sure is good or bad.
Justiss W Burry
This place is fantastic! Service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious. Get The BOOM seasoning and you won’t regret it!
We will be back again—absolutely wonderful.
Aubria Greno
Best place to go for seafood and great customer service! Food is excellent and staff is pleasant and friendly. Drinks are well made and I highly recommend this place!
A Lo
Okay their seafood is extremely fresh the oysters and the shrimps they taste like they just came out the water. The service was excellent I have no complaints whatsoever the portions were great all good there
Jennifer Acevedo
The food was prepared well, very tasty. The service was exemplary. Teri was by far one of the best servers I have ever had. Kudos.
Angie Juliana
Very good service, delicious food. enjoyable environment with nice music and i love the food here. my favorite sea food place. wouldn’t replace it for anything
FishincSpearinc
Hello it's lithe 4th time i come here and the food flavor it's always consistent and really good..,.. anyone can fry seafood but not anyone can get a seafood boil right every time and if you want faster service come to the bar the guy there really rocks
Pr3ttyx3lov3ly
I’ve ordered twice from here on the Uber eats app. The food is definitely good always packed well and warm too. I always get a seafood boil. Sooo good!!! Who doesn’t love seafood!
Sheila Durrance
EXCELLENT! I can't even remember the last time I had a meal that was this satisfying! I got the Garlic Butter seasoning on my platter. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! The service was Excellent as well. Can't wait to go back!!
Karen McKee
Very good fried clams. Small selection of local beer. Fun atmosphere even though it's in a strip mall
felicia Brown
First time and it was excellent! Loved the food, had crab and shrimp combination, with all the seasonings combined. Not cheap but, worth the money, this is my new seafood spot, no more traveling down to Joe's Crabshack.
Rob Rat
Food was great...I ordered the 1/2lb of snow crab and 1/2lb of headless shrimp combo in boom sauce with fire level spicy
Jacqueline Roy
Clean and great looking the staff was just ok. The food wasn't all that great. Pricey.
Camellia Staab
Excellent food and service. Can't recommend it enough. Definitely a place to visit many many times.
Jay Hollman
Fist time was excellent!!!!!! My daughter and I enjoyed the service, music and food!!! Our server Teri was super awesome!!!
Mynor Corona
Ordered here about 2 months ago it was so good I had to come in to check out the atmosphere. Low light with sea decor made the place seem nice and comfy. Since then I've tried 2 other places and no one has compared to the level of detail this place offers. The prices are well worth it for the portions, full flavor, and overall extremely satisfying. The staff is extremely nice, helpful, and eager to serve. My friend Pete ordered today and asked a special request to make 2 or the 3 boils hotter than listed and AGAIN they did not disappoint. Left me and my friend in happy tears and sweats. I've been ordering from here now once a week and after today's meal I don't think I want to try anywhere else.
Update 11/16/2021
Here it's been months since my first review of this establishment and yet again the service was so great and food so good I had to update everyone. You heard it the first time and you'll hear it again GREAT SERVICE and even better food. Jenny and Joyce made my night. Thank you all for continuing to make this fat boy happy.
Jasmine Taylor
I was there memorial day weekend 2022 and they just started this Father's Day special... dungeons crabs, snow crab legs, shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn for $99...it was huge, hot and more then enough for 2..infact 3 adults could have eaten this comfortably... literally the best deal... I wish I took a photo but I was so hungry and the boil was so hot...I wanted to dig in to the dungeons meat!!! I will be back again!
Ralph Kirkpatrick
We've been to one other place like this in Brandon, and I'm telling you the food here is awesome everything steamed in a big bag king crab special the king crabs were delectable you must get the scissors by request and you can go through these things like hot butter yum yum then you do the lobster tails and you do the shrimp the potatoes the corn we did the Cajun medium combination garlic butter wow.... We ordered the spicy rum pina coladas and Sarah worked our table happily she was awesome we will be back make sure to take the Uber LOL for those pina coladas. This place is two thumbs up for the food awesome.
Rosemary Jones
Enjoying the food, atmosphere, very friendly staff. We ordered crab boils and a fried fish dinner. Season well
Noemi King

Chuck Kenyon
Had the fried class. There had no taste, just the breading. Would not get again. Wife had the 🦀 legs and shrimp and loved it
Gualter Amarelo
I was so impressed with the staff and the original sauces here! I camt wait to take my girlfriend back to try the other flavors and taste thr shrip!!
Shameka & James Jones
The best food ever, me and my husband came the drinks were amazing and the food is always awesome 🤩 I’m
C K
Service was good and fun . The shrimp and catfish was great. I wouldn't recommend the pìna colada its bitter. Legs are always yum with garlic
Alma Rosario
We had such a great dinner there tonight. The food and drinks were delicious and fairly priced. We made reservations ahead of time and did not have to wait to be seated. Our server Tere, was so kind and attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and recommended the best sellers. We will definitely come back here and would love to have Tere as our server again.
David Hampton
Went here on a Saturday night and was impressed starting with the service. Friendly and informative.
We ordered the calamari appetizer as well as the gumbo. Both were excellent and came out hot and fresh. Our drinks were good and definitly not weak like you find at many places.
For dinner we had the Snow Crab and Shrimp bag with the boom sauce. Also the Fried Shrimp dinner. I have had fried shrimp at many places and it's all about the batter. This batter is spot on!!! The seasoning was also perfect on the Snow Crab.
One suggestion for the restaurant... It would be fantastic if there were combination plates for the Fried choices on the menu. Shrimp and Fish as well as Oysters would be a great combo.
WE WILL BE BACK !!
Allison Kentner
We are from out of town and recommended this place by a local. Definitely did not disappoint. We ate 2 lbs of snow crab and it was amazing!!! Definitely recommend the buttery garlic in the medium spicy level. Amazing!! Going back again before we head home!!
Mitchell Clifford
My wife and I had scheduled a pickup for 9:45 through the website. We got a call at 9:18 asking if we were still coming and that the food was ready. When we got there to pick up, food was already lukewarm. Also, for spending over 30$ on each of our plates, some more respectable sides would be appreciated. Only gave 2 small potatoes and 1 half of a corn cob, each. Really is unacceptable for that kind of price. Will be looking to have a satisfactory crab boil somewhere else next time.
Gloria Owens
Meals per person average $30 and up....not a place I would go every week but maybe once. All sides are extra $$$
Carol Smith
We had the fried catfish and shrimp baskets. Food was very good, waitress was great. However, we found the prices quite high for the atmosphere: paper tablecloths, paper towels on a roll, and we were only given forks, not wrapped, just handed to us. I gave it 3 stars because the food was good, but we won't eat here again.
Alan Berman
Very good overall experience. Service was good, prices not terrible...about 50 bucks for my wife and I with an adult beverage each. My shrimp boil with butter garlic, medium spice, was very good, shrimp cooked nicely. Could have been a little spicier but that's personal preference, can't knock them for that. It's nice that they give you a head-on shrimp option...it's the way to go if you've never done so before. Will certainly go back for a second visit.
Sharon Johnson
Our first time to Crafty Crab! We each chose the 1.2 lb shrimp and snow crab with potato and corn. I seasoned with butter garlic and mild in the toss, it was delicious!
We also had the crab cake appetizer and they were very good. Not the best but they were all crab, just not very many lumps. Not sweet, but otherwise really good.
We also shared the fried oyster basket with hush puppies. Not to much breading and the puppies were yummy.
Our waitress was very educational, helped us a lot. She was a great server and checked on us often.
Now the question of would I go back. If I can't recreate that sauce, etc. Us. We do a lot of seafood at home. They specialize in bills. Saves a lot of time and no work to go sit down and let them bring you the bag. Yes, is worth it and you can get some really big servings. Pretty sure you'll love it!
Bea FW
Had an amazing dinner and great drinks. Food was great and so was the service. Our server was on point!!!
Svetlana Azarova
Very nice place. Amazing for kids. Food is great and we are always taken care of. Highly recommend.
My Lam
The price here is very reasonable! The service was good and their sauce is delicious! Their blue crab tasted a bit old and not a lot of meat/skinny, but their king crab is delicious and thick! Customer service is a plus since our waitress was super communicative and friendly.
Vee Lee
UPDATE ** Since last event I’ve been back twice! The food is always great and one of the the managers did advise that if there is ever a ln issue with my order to please call in 😇
Why 2 stars when the food is GREAT?!
Well, bc lately they’ve been cheating me. I love this restaurant, I literally eat there EVERY week sometimes TWICE a week for nearly 2 months now and always buy enough for 2 ppl.. so you do the math.
Well unfortunately, last week I purchased the crab 🦀 & crawfish 🦞 bag and there was literally barely any sauce in the bag & the crawfish were so tiny I know for a fact they didn’t weight 1/2 a pound. But, I didn’t sweat it. What’s 1 mistake (possibly, right?)
Well, as of today (5/25/22) I purchased 2 different bags, a crab 🦀 & crawfish 🦞 & a whole shrimp 🦐 bag separately. With each bag should come with 2 potatoes 🥔 & 1 corn 🌽 (unless you select otherwise). My shrimp 🦐 bag was missing the corn 🌽(only 2 baby size potatoes were given) & I feel in my soul I was not given a full half of a pound, & again my crawfish 🦞 were tiny, ESPECIALLY the corn 🌽 this time around.
I’m disappointed ☹️ in Crafty. If I pay for something that’s exactly what I expect to get. Twice already I’ve been cheated, which is irritating 😠 bc I spend good money there EVERY week and I’m not exaggerating about how often I go, so I expect the same amount of food every time. (Check out the post below mine, you’ll see how small their corn 🌽 is, it’s like that EVERY TIME)
In reality this restaurant doesn’t give any coupons, customer reward points, or more food when the pickings are slim. But yet will not give a customer ALL of the food that was paid for & give the tiniest crawfish 🦞, potatoes 🥔, & corn 🌽 I’ve ever seen in my life.. where’s the customer appreciation & respect here? At this point I have to bring in a scale and weight my food and count how many corn 🌽 & potatoes 🥔 are in the bag.. Really Crafty??
Now I’m not saying to NOT visit, bc the sauce (BOOM SAUCE) is great, but pls bring a scale and count your food bc they will cheat you.. or better yet, buy their sauce and cook your own seafood 🤷🏾♀️ That’s my next option..
Crafty, Please do better.. like you were when I first started coming, or give some type of customer incentives..
Rebeca Velázquez
I have frequented Crafty Crab restaurants in South FL however here in the Tampa restaurant, the Cajun shrimp boil was strong and could've/ should've been a bit more liquified however the reason for the 5-star is our server Mina who was the kind of server I wish worked at every restaurant. She broke down the menu in a simple manner, made recommendations and gave us tips on how to mix and match our food which I already do so I knew that she knew exactly what she was talking about! Best of all, Mina was very personable. I would return just for her.
Erika Faulk
Food was good, our server, I believe his name was Quincy, was fantastic. He was so accommodating answering questions about spice levels because this was our first time. He stayed masked the entire time and I overheard a conversation from behind me that he had with two guests who were trying to get him to take his mask off (not because they couldn't hear him but because they didn't believe in masks). He handled it so smoothly but it made me realize that for me personally, I need to be extra careful where I decide to dine due to the proximity to others. The booth backs are high so I felt comfortable. Enjoyed our outing and the food was good.
Elizabeth Ortega
Loved it great staff n amazing foods .
Ariane Salary
The Shrimp 🦐 boil bag had a good taste. I had no spice with their signature sauce. The sausage tasted cheap and was nasty...not worth the extra price for it to be added on. …
Casandra Thomas
Oh my goodness. Let me tell you..this place has one of the BEST seafood boils ever. I'm in seafood heaven everytime I eat from here. The freshness and the FLAVORS are always on point. You won't be disappointed!
Anthony Baggs
Celebrating daughters birthday and was not disappointed. All included had some sort of Seafood Boil. Keep your seasoning preferences low as they are quite strong ( alot of seasoning added) Cocktails were average, but we didn't come for those. Service was excellent, and very polite. Seafood was fresh and not rubbery. Restrooms were very clean and easily marked. Enjoyed the family atmosphere and will definitely return.
Coree Rimby
Great seafood. Will definitely go back.
Took a star off because our waitress wasn't on point and our food wasn't steaming hot when it hit the table. It wasn't cold, but I expected the boil bag to be steaming hot and it wasn't. First thing I did was cut into my potato and if it had been freshly boiled that potato center would have been steaming.
Chris Miller
Food was really good. Drinks at happy hour we're very reasonable. Had the crab cakes as appetizers!
Robert Spencer
Everything was cooked perfectly and very fresh. It was delicious.
James Jones
Best food and drinks ever!!! Had an amazing time eating out with my
Wife !!
Ms PLaza
Had a lovely time, the food was delicious and fresh. The service was great, very attentive not hovering or MIA. Not fancy but clean, relaxed atmosphere. The music choice was not my favorite but it was at a tolerable volume to have a conversation with my lunch partners.
Jhon Linares
Me and my girlfriend went in for dinner and ordered a snow crab boil special with garlic and mild seasoning the food came out amazingly fast the quality/flavor of the food was amazing we also ordered gumbo on the side our first time trying it and we were not disappointed! Our server Maggie was fast and sweet as well 10/10. Would recommend this place for the flavor and price. Will be back soon!
rose fifi
Great food! Nice people ! Awesome staff!!
Thalia Richards
This place is a 10/10. I went here for my birthday and the waiter Gio was fantastic. The food was amazing! I highly recommend this place.
Randolph Garza
Best friend clam strips. Our server was great!
None None
I love this place. I can come here everyday. The bartender is the best!! Employees remember me, ask about my Grandson. Greet me with a warm welcome!! 5 stars isn't enough for this location!!! 💚💚💚💚💚 I'm happy! Oh & the food?? I can't even explain how good it is!! …
Kelsey Speros
We came here on a Saturday night around 6:30pm. The place was packed and they were short staffed but that did not stop our waiter Quincy for giving us the MOST AMAZING service. He did not stop running around the restaurant for a second. We were pleased with the quality of food and the quick and thoughtful service. When we come back we will be sure to ask for Quincy. Thank your for making our dinner experience a pleasant one!!
Alyssa Kulisan
Crafty Crab is better than Mr and Mrs crab! Karla was our server and she was the best! Great atmosphere and my snow carb was cooked perfectly!! We will be back!!!!
Mark Vest
Food and staff was great but I left hungry. Only reason it wasn't five stars. And the raw oysters were Bad as in not good
Garrett Webster
Food was gEverytime I eat here it's a wonderful time.
Jason Anderson
Food was good, but service was off. when we got there our server kept telling everyone that she had been the only server there for a while. She took our order quickly and then left. it took 45 minutes for us to get our drink, she said it was because the bartender wasn't even there yet. He walked up nonchalantly and handed us our drinks when he finished. and it took a while for her to get back to our table so that we could pay the bill. I know 5:30 is a little early for dinner but don't open if your staff isn't there.
gisela lugo
My son David and my daughter threw me a birthday partyOn Sunday April 24thThe food was amazingThe servers were amazing. Great atmosphere.Thank youI'll make sure to recommend to all my friends and family.😂😂😂❤😍😍😍😂😂 …
Izzy Vargas
This is my favorite new place to eat. It is way better than Pinchers. The food was perfect. The seasoning was spot on. The waitress Jay was phenomenal. She made the experience amazing. They have a good beer selection. I highly recommend you go to the Crafty Crab. You will not be disappointed.
Corey TheApprentice
The service was okay, but the food. The food. Wow. The boom spice was unreal. I can't even begin to describe how amazing it was. Definitely go there for the seafood boil. But if seafood isn't your thing, the chicken wings and hush puppies are worth an order as well.
Arnie Mejias
Limited-menu seafood joint. Probably one of the few places around that offers seafood boils and clambakes, though. Friendly staff. Fish (tilapia) and chips was not bad; hush puppies were tasty, but grainy; fries were not oily. On the high end, in terms of price, for tilapia ($14).
Quan Nguyen
Lobster tails were fresh. Service was good. But the seasoning sauce is way too salty (we ordered 3 boil plates with 3 different sauces to try them all) . My friends have high blood pressure and were very uncomfortable eating the food because we didn't want to waste $150 worth of food.
jenn stout
Good food, good service . It wasn’t packed . I was surprised because the food is solid . Our server had good recommendations
Ella Wagner
Food was amazing. Such a beautiful restaurant.
Roy Cardona
Had my first sea food broil wow amazing hooked on sea food now a must try i will have to take photos next time we go
Carlie H.
My husband and I really enjoyed the food. Our waiter was Quincey and he was very kind. The spice level mild is truly mild. Next time we may order medium to get more of a kick. The seafood boil is very tasty.
The establishment appeared clean and my husband said the men's restroom was clean. I felt the prices were very reasonable for what is offered. We will definitely come again and ask for Quincey again.
Miss Wells
I had the catfish with sweet potato fries and it was delicious. The fish was seasoned perfectly. The fries were crispy on the out side and soft on the inside. No complaints at all. I had about 4 pieces of small-medium to medium pieces. Witch probably equal two medium-large pieces.
Teri Mullis
First time here,
I'd have to say hands down great experience. My husband's Birthday so he chose the place I have to admit im not a big fan of seafood neither are our children, But my Husband is! so ill admit I was a bit skeptical entering this place. But once inside we were seated quickly and greeted shortly after by our waiter. Very clean place. The waiter his name Quincy very knowledgeable, seems to really know the place and makes you feel very comfortable. once we told him it was our first time he pretty much broke down the entire menu and the list of specials and the best way to order. I admit I was a bit confused how it all worked how it was going to come out ... We got the snow crab and shrimp boil it tasted amazing best part was the fact I guess the waiter over heard my son say Happy birthday dad .. because next thing I know he brought out a huge peace of cheese cake with chocolate drizzled all over it and said Happy Birthday and didn't charge us for the cheese cake ... The waiter is definitely a great asset to this place he made our experience one of the best maybe even from any restaurant I've been. ..
Cassandra Henry
When my husband and I went,we bought combo plates so that we would be able to base our opinions on several different foods,since that was the first time we had been there;they were all really good.We had a shrimp boil bag,fried catfish,fried shrimp,fries,etc.
Kelly Grizzaffi
Great food and the service was the best I have had in Florida!
Bside
Awesome food and service
Tessa Reyes
Great food. Family friendly place!
Melanie Engberg
Tried the Crafty Crab for the first time this evening. Everything was average. Service was not bad, but not excellent. The restaurant wasn't that full but it took a very long time to get drinks, place our order, receive our gumbo. Lobster / King Crab Boil was average. Crab was a little fishy and not as sweet as I would have liked. Shrimp was good but stay away from the mussels and the clams unless you like chewy shellfish. And the gumbo has never met a Cajun! Not sure I'd go back?
Iris Alvarez
Loved the food. Loved the service and the place is a happy clean place.
Rob Park
Discovered this unique restaurant and they have thought about just about everything for making a messy meal clean. Gloves, bibs, wipes and meal presentation in the bag, ours anyway, was neat. Our server guided us first timers through all the tricks. Rolled our bag down for us and was attentive throughout.
Caitlin Long
I dont like leaving a bad review when our waitress made up for it. However we waited about fifteen minutes between seating and ordering. Our waitress was wonderful, the food was delicious. I order the lobster boil special, mild heat and garlic butter sauce. I chose not to wear gloves or a bib but after washing my hands and taking a shower tonight my skin still reeks of garlic. That's kind of weird. Also, I still loved out waitress getting our food out so fast but I asked for water twice and maybe she didnt hear me. I never got water.
matthew betters
2nd time I was there,and had a great time just like the first time, great employees, store clean food hot, and fresh, and you get plenty of food.will be back again.
Pabon 82
First time eating here. The food was awesome and the service was outstanding. We will be back very soon!!!
Jess Bressler
Food delicious as always, and tiramisu is fantastic😻 …
Genevieve Rodriguez
Delicious food but, not following mask policy. It goes OVER the nose. While waiting for my food for pick up I saw at least 4 employees with masks around their chin. One was at the bar making drinks and they were not wearing their mask properly. No telling what they are doing in the kitchen.
Bakeer Crumble
I love this place! Cajun seasoning is on point and the crawfish are pretty big. Shrimp nice and juicy and meat practically falls out of the crab shells! Good service and clean environment. I can't say one bad word about this restaurant. If you enjoy shellfish the way my son and I do, prepare to walk into heaven!
Shanie Lightbourne
Best experience ever with my MCE. They really enjoyed the atmosphere, food, mommy time. The prices are right and won't break your pockets, especially if your wining and dining your kids. Also, the staff were friendly and the facility was clean.
mark malanowski
First time having it. You do have to take out there is no dining in at this time.
Denisha Houston
The service was quick & our waitress, Bria, was attentive to our table. I even noticed how the bartender & other servers were quick to respond to their table's needs. I can't leave out the food wadms DEFINITELY on point!!! We will be going back!
Bonnie Alfonso
Gumbo wasn't warm, even one of the employees said I'm surprised you ate that much..... The chicken wings were terrible, tasted like dirty oil.
Crab legs overcooked and service very slow and unattentive. Shrimp was great though, no complaints there!

Loved my experience here. My husband and I had the sweetest and most attentive bartender the other night. She made us feel right at home even when she had a whole section, apart from the bar. Thank you, Hunter! Will definitely be back. :-)
Ann Marie
Loved the Crab Boil, service was awesome, atmosphere great, will definitely return
Gina Dimauro
Seafood boils were delicious, service was excellent, however I was not a fan of peeling my shrimp wish it was peeled and ready to pop into my mouth. That is my only complaint. Very yummy.
Adrian Graves
Me and my girlfriend love eating here if we want crab legs, lobster tail, crawfishs,shrimp etc etc it's all was great food and we LOVE IT the service is great as well
Maria Boyd

Great service, awesome food, good atmosphere. It gets a but messy to eat but what do you expect when eating crab and crab legs. The boom sauce is awesome
erica hinds
Restaurant was clean and you felt comfortable with the social distancing . Service was excellent. The food was good. The overall experience was good so I will definitely go back.

I have been once but would certainly go again not many seafood restaurants serve king crabs. The place is of decent size with comfortable sitting area. It's not your typical seafood restaurant.
Tifinie Brooks
Geron was the best server ever!! He was so nice to my bestfriend and I. I was visiting from out of town and this was the best experience from my entire trip! Thank you so much.
Henry Thompson
The onion rings appeared to be standard frozen fare. Boil had good flavor but shrimp was overcooked, and the piece of corn was about three inches long from the pointed end of the ear. Flavorful but small. For the price I would expect the seafood to not be overcooked.
Angela Oosting
Nothing special at all. Ended up getting a fried basket because there wasn't a grilled fish option with crab. Actually there was not a combo that I would have liked it been able to eat all of. The fried stuff had a weird aftertaste to it as well. Service took a while also.
Belle Dame
We love this place for sea foods, great customer services and wonderful food!
Sha’Chorace
Food has always been pretty good. Lately this location has been leaving things out in the online orders and the amount of food given is inconsistent. Double check your bag before leaving!
Jamie C
The pots are great. Good variety. If you're looking for fried seafood, go somewhere else. Lots of breading with little taste.
Great service, fun atmosphere.
raul reyes
I love this place,it's clean and food is Good.
I usually eat fried shrimp and hush puppies! So good !
In my opinion it's better than the competition. Enjoy!
Sara
Food was ok. Probably wouldn't eat here again. Good service.
Cole Green
Nice restaurant. Good service and their sauces have a good flavor. Not too badly priced for seafood as well.
Ihisha Cherenfant

Our waiter was amazing 👏🏾! I wish I could remember his name, he was prompt and very knowledgeable of the menu, we didn't have to ask him for much at all as he offered it right away. …
nitselle cotto
On 02/29/2020 I finally decided to try the seafood boil and let me just say, I'm glad I chose Crafty Crab. It was my first time tasting a seafood boil and what an experience. Not only was the food amazing the customer service was great as well. I wish I new the ladies name to shout her out but she answered my questions and was not rushed to get off the phone. I definitely recommend this place.
Mitch Hammond
The crab is so good here, love the shrimp. Everything tastes so good!!! Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to try a crab boil
Shay Ray
Enjoyed my experience! Waiter, food and the actual establishment itself was nice! Love how intimate it is compared to the Brandon location.
Karen S
Outstanding service from Nate behind the bar and serving the BEST Dungeness Crab EVER to Geron & Quincy our lead advisors! The food is SO delicious! I don’t understand the wait line outside of Kobe’s next door? Everyone reading this needs to try Crafty Crab! I’m going to return because of the outstanding service and VERY BEST dungeness crab anywhere!
jon irwin
This was a nice place. Not to impressive The crawfish were ok. The flavor was spot on. The service was good . Very kind. Overall a pleasant experience.

Eva Bowie
Best seafood boil since I've been in Florida the past week! Thank you for the great service and food during lunch today!!
Sophia
Food is delicious 9 times out of 10 that I've been here. For some reason the wate staff does not check on you during your meal for refills so I always have to ask but love the food.
Erika Parker
Yea I’m fine with this but if eat something again I’m try a bag with some noodles 🧐🤤 my sister said it was fye that way
Mlacey813
BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE AWARD GOES TOOO.... G. This place is amazing. The food is on point, but the team lead G made our night. He is super knowledgeable and very personable.we WILL be back. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Jennifer I
I was pleasantly surprised and cravings were satisfied!!! 4 stars only because of slow service (with all respect to our waitress). I really hope this place is able to make it.
Casey MCc
Fresh hot. Been here 6 times for lunch. Never busy foods great. Service good/friendly. Drinks good. I'll be back.
Kim Hall
Great atmosphere. Our server Quinn did an amazing job very attentive.
Kimmy K
The best seafood boil I have ever had. The shrimp are real and definitely not from Walmart lol they are heavy and fulfilling not light and airy along with the crab legs. Pay attention to the seafood you eat there is a difference!!!
Tori Edwards
No healthy choices on the menu at all if you don't eat seafood. They dont offer many small portions for those who want small size meals. Service was very slow and server wasn't very friendly or helpful. I wouldn't recommend or will be returning.
Teasea Green
My weekly seafood place. I always order snow crabs and headless shrimp in mild boom seasoning. It's very tasty, not too oily or salty and seafood always taste fresh.
I’m know im stupid when I say this but
Amazing seafood platters!! Great service, sat us down instantly and very friendly waiters.
Thang Nguyen
Oh my god. This is an amazing place to eat seafoods : 🦀 crabs, shrimps, ...and potatoes....in the tasty seasoning bag ! The service is phenomenal, attentive ! The decorations are beautiful, beach scents, like I live in the beach’s area with the hunters ! Highly recommended. …
Darlene Butler
Great prices. Good drinks. Loved the hearty raw oysters. Our server Jayy was a pleasure. We will return for sure

I ordered the Crab & Shrimp Boil and it was very good. I also ordered wings to go. When I arrived home and taste the wings they were fantastic. I recommend this place to everyone who loves seafood and wings.
Kiana Durden
Very good good. We had blue crab, snow crab, and king crab...they were all tasty and meaty. The flavorings were good. The mild has a touch of spice.

The food and the service were good my only complaint is that they use margarine in all the sauces and call it butter.
Ny Legends Barbershop
Over priced it has that mr & mrs crab feel but the hush puppies weren’t very good crab legs looked very small for the price

Dave Hudock

Swell jobs Crafty Crab 🦀 !!!!..... …
James Claycomb
The crab was not over cooked or spiced. Seafood done properly can pretty much stand on it's own. A little spice can enhance the flavor.
Tiff Eatz
First timer and it was absolutely amazing! Everything from the atmosphere to the service and the food is great!!!!!!!!!! Prepare to get messy!!!!!!!
wendi black
