Really great food for cheap and nice staff. We got there at 9:45 and they close at 9:30 and they still accommodated us (party of 4). Great atmosphere as well really great vibes all around. read more

The food was definitely the highlight of my visit. I ordered the crab boil, hush puppies, and the Cajun potstickers, and everything was flavorful and cooked well. I'd come back for the food. The ambiance was pretty mid, nothing that really stood out one way or the other. What really disappointed me was the customer service at the end. I accidentally left my to-go box on the table with most of my sides still in it. I realized it about 10 minutes later and called the restaurant, but they told me it had already been thrown away. I understand mistakes happen, but considering a good portion of my meal was in that box, I was disappointed that the only response I got was, "Sorry." It would've been nice if they had at least offered to replace the sides or provided some type of credit. That would've gone a long way. Overall, the food was good, but the way the situation was handled left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Really solid spot for a crab boil -- the food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the prices felt totally fair. You can make it spicy or mild and can do this on the side as well. The menu listed alcoholic drinks, but unfortunately they don't have their liquor license yet, which was a bit of a letdown. That said, the service was great -- friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience enjoyable. Will definitely be back once they get that license! read more

The one star is simply for the server at least being kind. The wait for the food was ridiculous and the quality of what we were served - just unacceptable at the ridiculous prices. The fried mahi mahi was so overcooked and paper thin. The "cajun" fries were clearly frozen seasoned fries with zero spice. The hushpuppies, while having the most flavour of our meal, were so overcooked. Excited for our yearly trip to the area, this place was a disappointment after a long day of travel. read more

So Disappointing - We Won't Be Back As locals from Destin, we were really excited to finally have a Cajun-style seafood boil restaurant nearby. Sadly, Cajun Crab in Fort Walton Beach was a huge letdown. We visited on June 28, 2025, and spent $150 for just the two of us--no alcohol--and still left hungry and frustrated. The food was poorly prepared, the prices were outrageous, and the service from our server Rita was terrible. I ordered 2 lbs of green mussels and 1 lb of headless shrimp. My wife got 1 lb each of snow crab legs, clams, and black mussels. I specifically asked how the corn and potatoes were served and was told "1 corn and 2 potatoes per pound"--like other boil restaurants we love. But when our food arrived, we only got 1 corn and 2 potatoes total for everything. I had to pay an extra $10 just to get what we were supposed to get in the first place. The biggest disappointment was the sauce--it was watery, thin, and oddly soup-like. The green mussels were mushy and slimy, with several too sketchy to eat. I threw out at least 10. Even stranger, they added raw broccoli to the boil--something we've never seen. My shrimp were the only decent part. My wife's crab legs were rubbery and nearly impossible to crack--a total fail for a crab boil. We've enjoyed great meals at Crafty Crab in PCB and Cracking Crab in Pensacola, but this place doesn't come close. We really wanted Cajun Crab to succeed--but after this experience, we'll never return. Save yourself the money and drive to a real seafood boil spot instead. read more

Everything was sooo good. The crab was great, the boils sauce was great, pot stickers were awesome, garlic rice was good too. Hush puppies a little sweet but still good. Only issue? I didn't get what I ordered. I ordered the Dungeness and snow crab combo. Which is just the two crabs and corn and potato and got snow crab and crawfish combo. Which would have been fine, but I really don't like crawfish at all. I will def try them again as I enjoyed everything. Hopefully they get it right next time. read more

Absolutely Amazing Experience! We stopped by Cajun Crab in Fort Walton Beach and tried the Kraken Boil--and WOW, it was absolutely incredible! The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every bite was packed with seasoning and just the right amount of heat. On top of that, the service was outstanding. We got our food in under 10 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise for a seafood boil. Our server was extremely nice, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. If you're in the area and craving seafood, do yourself a favor and get the Kraken Boil. You won't regret it. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Love their food. Generous portions. Shrimp were steamed and flavored perfectly. We like how they let us select how spicy we want a dish to be. If we want something altered or something not on the menu, they do their best to do what we ask. We enjoy the small family atmosphere and nice wait staff. They run specials- for example, Sundays are kids eat free. Overall, a good place to spend time with family and friends and eat tasty food. read more

Michelle was a great help with navigating the menu. Staying grounded the potatoes were pretty dang on point. Soft, chewy and the warmth felt crisp. Crab, Shrimp and sausage. Broccoli and egg were a treat by far!!! Thanks again y'all! read more

We're on vacation & the kids choose this spot. Its fairly new. We had a cup of spilled 3 times while trying to get our food (1st by one of our girls, next two times by the server who made a statement about bringing some kiddie cups back w/lids). The food tasted ok, it wasn't seasoned well but if you dipped it in the sauce then it was ok. I was in a bad mood from being wet from the water, I could not enjoy my food. I was so ready to go! read more

Let's start by saying this is our first time in the Fort Walton Beach area. We were looking for a seafood restaurant and stumble upon the Cajun Crab. We did not know what to expect but the service and the food was amazing. Rita was the host of the year and the food was the best I had tried this year. The seafood boil was phenomenal and flavorful. I ordered the lemon pepper wings and they were piping hot and juicy!! Rita provide up a sample of gumbo and Conecuh sausage. We wanted to try everything after tasting these delectable food choices. There are not enough to describe the customer service that Rita provided to us! The Mango Mousse was the topper after eating so much food! We are here for the week and will definitely be back at the Cajun Crab!! read more

My wife and I always have the best experience here. We are greeted with a friendly smile and welcomed inside like we are family. The ambiance and service is top notch. Sophia and Michelle always take care of us. They are both amazing. They bring us new menu items to try and always make sure we are well taken care of. This is our favorite place to come. We love it here. I strongly recommend Cajun Crab. read more

Cool little spot with nautical ambience. Menu had a lot of customizable options. Half dozen Scallops with butter were great and I liked the fried oyster plate. Good sides. Their house sauce is tangy and delicious. Portions were just right, not too big or small. Where they really shined was their service: welcoming, warm, fast and professional; made me feel at home, good recommendations, refills were fast and she brought me a side of hush puppies while waiting. Server was Michelle and she was awesome, as well as warm and professional, she made it a great experience read more
