"Cajun" fried rice with sausage...for those of us not really into the boil scene.
Mike P.

IMO, NONE of the, now ubiquitous, crab shacks in this town deserve 5 stars. But, of all the crab boil joints in Toledo, Cincy Crab is probably the best, and I grade on a normal curve. Therefore, 5 stars!! Maybe it was just that the spirit of Christmas Eve blessed us with good fortune, but everyone in my family had a very positive experience. The wife is VERY picky when it comes to her seafood. Even so, she thought her shrimp cocktail and raw oysters (on the half shell) were excellent. She was seriously surprised by how fresh they were, in both taste and texture. She also had the scallops, Cajun boiled, medium. Her only complaint, as well as mine, is that all of the boil formulations use too much butter (soy butter actually), and butter flavor comes through. Too much. It's much like getting wings with mild sauce...you think you're going to drown in butter. I'm not into the whole "boil scene," not outside of Arcadiana, anyway. So, I ordered Cajun fried rice with sausage. Although the rice was a bit dry, in general, I was quite pleased. The dish was surprisingly tasty! Who cares what the kids got. They ordered some messy, hoty, buttery, seafoody, boily things. They were happy. Beer selection? Not great. But, when I'm eating things that are especially hot, I'm perfectly content with a light domestic lager...specifically, Coors light, baby! Special shout out to our waiter, Tracy. This guy was fantastic. He, and his crew, really went out of their way, on Christmas Eve, to make our meal fun and special.

Finally made it to Cincy Crab and I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. Simply wow! This place is amazing. The staff are friendly, welcoming, & help you with any questions. Nicely decorated and clean. Our server, Anahi, was great! Food was hot, delicious, & not overcooked as can sometimes be the case with seafood boil restaurants. But not Cincy Crab. They do it right! We ordered; snow crab, head off shrimp, scallops, garlic butter & Cajun seasoning without spice & EVERYTHING was delicious!! Oh and the drinks.... Yummy!! We had the peach mojito & the Crab Claw. Reasonly priced and worth every penny! I can't wait to come back. We will be regulars for sure!

Loaded with flavor and in from New Orleans. This buttery garlic sauce is great. Try it.

Kristen was a great server and the garlic butter on the shrimp and snow crabs were fantastic. I also haven't had corn this good in a long time. Sweet and spicy with the garlic butter. I was very nervous at first bc they indicated a bunch of incidents where people don't pay and walk out. It can't be bc of the food bc it was great and reasonably priced. The savanna bananas were playing also. Made me eat a second round. Now to the gym.

The crab is really good, the shrimp was not bad too. Good vibes inside and the staff were really nice. Only complaint is that the garlic butter could've been saltier.

Dropped in on a Friday night. The place wasn't busy at all. They seemed to be limited in their wait staff however our waitress did very well given how many tables she had. Others in the restaurant were getting the famous seafood boil which came in a bag with a bib. Looked good we just were not up for the mess. The catfish platter came with plenty of food. The hush puppies were very good. The cat fish was average. Overall a decent place, I would return and try another dish.

I seen the place was only 2.5 stars so I read the reviews and most of them were just referring to the service lol . But the actual food WAS TASTY AF!! I got snow crab legs which they were kinda smaller then usual with sausage eggs and potatoes . The meal Was great , the food did take a little minute to come out but the waitress was nice and tried her best .. but for the most part I loved it

Great food and great service! The chicken and dumpling soup was phenomenal with nice big chunks of…read morechicken, best I've ever had. The hot roast beef was also great they cut the meat there. The mashed potatoes are real potatoes, not boxed. My husband had the chicken fajita wrap. He says it was hot and juicy, contents were well seasoned and well cooked. Fries were crispy without being burnt. Our server was friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. We were here in December, only complaint is I don't think the bathrooms are heated, it was very chilly in there. One other thing to note, if you order root beer, it is birch beer and is very sweet (for my own future knowledge, I don't care for it).

3.5 I stopped here for a quick mid-afternoon lunch. Service…read morewas prompt and polite. Ambiance was dark- like a bar-type of atmosphere- which didn't matter because it was an overcast day in Ohio. It was also more of a sports var as there were lots of TV screens. I ordered a chicken caprese sandwich after being assured by my server that it was one of her favorites. It came with delicious French Fries. The sandwich was good but not amazing. For my taste, the chicken was a bit overcooked, but better than undercooked. The fries were delicious, even though I only ate a few. Before I went to college, I worked in a nice seafood restaurant and our nightly task was to make sure ketchup containers were full. Therefore, I noticed that my container of ketchup was down to the last few squirts. Never a good thing/sound! Overall, not a bad place to eat, but nothing worth going out of your way to try, imo. I see that others gave it better reviews, so this is my experience, Pictures below...

This was my second visit to The Standard, this time for an early Holiday meal. We had reservations…read morefor two and were promptly seated in a booth as requested. I hadn't realized before that there is a large room to the right of the bar area. We were there for a somewhat early dinner at 6pm on a Saturday and the place was bustling! Definitely make a reservation. (I used Open Table online two or three weeks in advance and it was very easy.) We were greeted shortly after being seated and our server advised us of the special entrees after taking our drink orders. We decided to split the roasted beet salad which also came with herbed goat cheese. Our server brought the salad on two plates- already divided. The salad was absolutely amazing!! I am seriously still craving it and the portion was so large that I couldn't even finish my half. Our server promptly boxed it up before our entrees were served. For the main course, I ordered one of the specials- scallops with rice sauteed with spinach. My friend had pork roast with carrots, which was a large portion - no complaints and she took home leftovers for another meal. I'll speak to my scallops... They were perfectly prepared, but there were only three scallops and a plentiful serving of rice and spinach. I love spinach and this side was very well seasoned. It didn't take long to eat the three scallops and the spinach pieces in the rice. I definitely enjoyed my meal, but wished for even one more scallop. Since my entree was a special that was verbally announced, I didn't know the price until I saw the bill. While it was delicious, I found the $41 charge a bit steep. The Standard is exceptional in almost every way- service was impeccable, amazing food, lovely ambiance- but be prepared for a pricey evening. My friend and I had a very enjoyable time and I definitely recommend this restaurant. I will say, however, that it can be difficult to talk because it is so busy. That said, it's popular for a reason! Check out the photos below for a virtual experience.

If you're going into this expecting that Boil Shack is going to deliver a Louisiana Crawfish Boil…read moreright here in the Glass City, you're going to be very disappointed. That said, this place isn't all that bad. The flavors of the various boils are pretty decent. They're not not Cajun...they're not even Creole...but they're decent. One thing's for sure, there won't be any vampires creeping around here...garlic is the primary flavor at the Boil Shack. I'm still tasting it, the next day. The biggest issue with this place is that the critters aren't cooked long enough for the flavors in the boils to be imparted into the critter meat. With the crawfish, this deficiency in cooking is especially apparent. True, the food comes out pretty fast. BIG TIME FAIL: Boil Shack has no beer. Boil Shack needs beer. It needs ice cold lager. It's obvious. Who ever heard of eating spicy boiled seafood, WITH YOUR HANDS, and not having beer to wash it down? If it's true, that everything is undergoing carcinization, it all makes sense: all the failed restaurants in town are evolving into crab shacks! Give this one a try, we will again, but I'm going to keep looking.

Dined out on my own! Amazing experience and food was delicious! Service was kind even though I was…read moreon my own! And the area was generally clean , the boil bag tasted better than some of the many bags I've had before!
