My husband and I came here for a date night and had some of the best service and seafood we've ever experienced! From the outside, the building doesn't exactly scream "5-star seafood" -- I think it may have been an old Pizza Hut -- but don't let that fool you. Inside, it's cute, a little kitschy, and most importantly, clean!! There wasn't any type of fishy smell at all! The husband-and-wife owners are absolutely working their tails off, and it shows. The service was warm, attentive, and truly top-notch. You can feel how much pride they take in what they do. We each ordered crab boils and didn't leave a single thing in the bag -- every bite was incredible! Some of the most delicious seafood I've ever had. I almost hesitate to share this hidden gem because I selfishly want it all to myself, but they deserve every bit of recognition. We can't wait to go back and are definitely adding this spot into our regular restaurant rotation! read more

I wanted a seafood boil for my birthday and this place had the highest reviews in the metro Detroit area. I came with a party of 8 in a Sunday. We were seated right away. We had crab rangoon for appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone ordered a seafood boil and we all were pleased. The restaurant is right across the street from Westland Mall. Looks like it used to be a Pizza Hut.... read more

The boil is what you would expect from a boil. I got the fried selections of shrimp and fries and it hit the spot. The Restaraunt itself is very casual and good for families. read more

First time trying crab kitchen cajun seafood for a shrimp (huge) boil w/ egg potatoes hot level spice, it was very spicy pretty good, was missing something with the flavor. The customer service was cool, The gentleman was very accommodating and pleasant. It was empty in the restaurant quite spatial, price point worked for me, Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely will stop back to try other items on the menu! Hava HAPPY JOY DAY! read more

I dropped by this restaurant and picked up a menu in 2024. I met the owner and I was pleased with its presentation. It looked clean, cozy, and didn't reek of fish. I promised I would come back and try an item so today I did. It's a small place but about 75% of the tables were filled with customers. They all seemed to be really be enjoying their meals. I ordered the seafood boil to go with garlic butter, head off shrimp and crab legs. It was absolutely fantastic. I've been missing out on great tasting food. I will definitely be returning to try other options on the menu. read more

I just want to update my review since we hadn't had a chance to go back in a while. If I could give Crab Kitchen 10 stars I would! It was even better then before! We went again for my moms birthday on Saturday the 18th and the food was amazing, if you can swing the crab kitchen platter, DO IT! My mom split it with my son, and they both loved it! He loved the lobster, crab and mussels the most. We also had frogs legs, which everyone loved, fried oysters and hush puppies, delicious. And the rest of us got seafood boils and they were amazing! But what makes the experience even better are the super lovely and kind owners, I can't say enough about how nice they are. You almost feel like part of the family when you're there. Hopefully we will get to go back soon and not wait so long between visits. read more

This is my favorite crab spot! Always fresh and well taken care of. The Husband and Wife are always super generous and provide great service! read more

Came in by myself last Monday and had a great time! The cashier was the cook and the server as well. I was the only one dinning in but saw a few people picking up to go! I got seafood boil with lobster, snow crab cluster and head on shrimp with the house special sauce medium. Crabs weren't cooked perfect as not all the legs pulled out easily but they were so tasty! Lobster was a bit chewy, I'd never had it in a seafood boil before but I'd recommend more legs instead of the lobster. Shrimp was good! The sauce wasn't very spicy I'd go hotter next time overall great experience though and I love that they include corn and potatoes in the meal read more

Crab Kitchen Cajun Seafood - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Westland, Michigan

Amazing! Fast friendly service with awesome food! The owner takes pride in his work. He's quite a foodie himself. We chatted quite a while during our visit. Low crowd on a Sunday at lunch time. Owner chooses ingredients and prep with quality and intent to not over salt the foods. Too bad the public doesn't realize the quality of ingredients and choices made. Scallops are top notch! Never had them in a boil like this. I chose the house seasoning which I found to be perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of salt and spice. I chose seafood boil with shrimp (head off), scallops (humongous), and sausage, which comes with potatoes, corn, and a hard boiled egg. Ordered mine medium spice which I'd say compares to a Thai spice level of medium. My husband ordered a boil with shrimp (head off), crawfish, crab legs, potatoes, corn, and hard boiled egg, Cajun, hot spice level. He thoroughly enjoyed everything he had and polished everything off including some of my sausage. He said it was perfect flavor, not too salty, spice level was as expected. We'll be back again soon! read more

I got the half pound snow, crab and Dungeness crab. I got extra hard boiled eggs. I got the house special sauce, which is a mix of all three sauces. The food was better than I could have expected. Staff are also pleasant and check in on you. It's like a hole in the wall hidden restaurant. Place was also very clean. read more

Crab Kitchen Cajun Seafood - Snow crab cluster and dungess crab cluster by the half pound. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Westland, Michigan

The snow crab was well seasoned and this was the first crab place where you can add steamed veggies to your bag, I added broccoli and it was delicious! I had the Cajun and garlic butter. The crab boil included a boiled egg, next time I would ask them to leave that out as it seemed like there were small pieces of egg shell in the bag. read more

After our favorite Belleville seafood boil place closed, we were in the market to find a new one - and I'm so glad we found this place! The service is excellent, very welcoming. It's a fun little spot (maybe it used to be a Pizza Hut?) with ocean-themed decor. I have ordered their appetizers (crab rangoon) a few times, but they aren't the star of the show. The seafood boil here comes out in a bag. In my 4 visits, I've tried crab legs, shrimp, mussels, scallops, and crawfish. All of these were fresh, and the "House Special" sauce was awesome - cajun and buttery and spicy, it really made everything down to the potatoes and corn feel like part of an excellent dining experience. If my arteries allowed it, I would be back here all the time. As it is, I'll be back as soon as I can, and hope to see you there. read more

Crab Kitchen Cajun Seafood - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Westland, Michigan

This place is amazing!!! I've had many crab boils but this one is just the best! I took my girlfriend on a date here the place was very clean and had amazing service the wait was very fast and the owner made the experience personal and checked on us alot. I would highly recommend this to anyone. The seafood was very fresh and well seasoned. There was some Asian influence that made this crab boil very original with a flavor I can't explain except perfect sweet, spicy, and not too salty. There are also really cool backdrops on the wall for pictures with friends or your date. read more

Not very busy when I came. I simply wanted to try the crab bites just to get a quick snack. It's not a very large restaurant so I'm sure it fills up quickly during lunch or dinner time. I thought the food I ate was quite delicious, but I really want to return and explore more of the menu. The crab meat was very tender and the sweet sauce that came with my order perfectly complemented them. The food here is quite $$$, but that's normal for most places that primarily serve seafood. Great family owned business read more

Came here for my mom's birthday with a large party while the owners were understaffed and the food and service was still very good! The service was amazing. Really top notch. The husband and wife duo are kind and inviting. They gave my mom a piece of cake and charm! read more

Excellent service and the food was great too! Looking forward to going back!!! 5stars

Absolutely disgusting. Wasn't well seasoned. Thank God I had old bay because I had to add old bay from my cabinet. I paid over $70 for my boil I'm disappointed in how the sauce tasted. Not i wonder how they got all these good reviews because my food was gross. I got 1 pound clams, 1 pound New Zealand mussels, 1 pound shrimp, 1 pound crawfish. read more

Ordering out is definitely better than eating in because my family is more comfortable and able to take a real slow dinning. The wait was a bit long but they husband and wife was very read more

The food was amazing! The owners were very friendly and made us feel welcome. We'll definitely be back!

There were not any other customers when we got there. I didn't really want to eat there so we did carry out. The food was ok. I've had much better. read more

I came here with my boyfriend at 7 pm after a long day of pretty much not eating. Despite coming a bit late at night, the owners were super friendly and sat us down immediately. Let me just say this is hands down the best seafood boil I ever had. It's fresh. It's super well seasoned. And honestly for the quality of the seafood we gotten, we were surprised by our bill (in a good way!) I've had seafood far less quality, far less fresh, and far less seasoned for twice as much as what we paid for. Not to mention, the owners are super friendly and attentive, stopping by our tables several time to ask if the food was okay and if we wanted any refills. I also love the vibe of the place. It is small but the older music they played reminds me of eating at a seafood restaurant in Asia where you just have these oldies playing while you're eating seafood, drinking, and having a good time with friends and family. My boyfriend and I are already talking about coming back despite me living out of state. I'll be happy to hop on a plane just to come back immediately. But we will definitely come back. If you are looking for a sign to come here, this is it!! read more

Crab Kitchen Cajun Seafood - crab kitchen platter with 2 extra pound of snow crab and 1 pound of blue crabs! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Westland, Michigan

Was really excited to try to this place as its new and different. And today was the day! For the appetizer we got the crab ragoon which came out super hot and delicious. Wasn't a big fan of their dipping sauce. The waitress said it was bbq and something else which was suppose to make this their house duck sauce. It just had a different odd flavor to it. So I chose some siracha instead and enjoyed that. If you like seafood boils, you'll enjoy this place. The taste was good and portions as listed. Decided to get 3 1/2 choices and that was super filling. The crab leg cluster, shrimp and mussels. Picked the house special seasoning and medium spice level- everything came out quickly and flavorful. The best was dipping everything in the sauce in the bottom of the bag from the shrimp after removing the shell or break opening a mussel. I've had seafood boils before, and crab legs are usually still crunchy so they're easier to crack/break... here though they seemed soggy so breaking them was kinda difficult. read more

Food was really good, and service was great! I had a combo basket with fried shrimp and tilapia. The gentleman who waited on us was very attentive and patient. read more

We got delivery from here tonight and wow was it good. My son got the 1lb boil with New Zeland mussels and shrimp Cajun style. Hubs and I got the garlic butter boil with 1lb black mussels, 1/2l lb clams and added a sausage- I want to drink the sauce it's so good! This totally came packaged perfectly and hot. This is going to be my new go to when I want seafood. Can't wait to try some crab next time and maybe the frog legs...mmmmm read more

Absolutely loved it. Since our previous seafood place closed, I was anxious to find a new "seafood home." Crab Kitchen IS now my new seafood home! And not because I have no other options, Crab Kitchen is genuinely a great restaurant. The price is super reasonable, the head-off shrimp they serve are huge! I love the sauce they serve. It's super heavy on the garlic, which I love. The owners came to check on us often, but not intrusive. They're also really sweet and great to chat with. I'm looking forward to going back with my husband and pig out on the delicious seafood again. read more

This place was amazing! Food was great, service was wonderful. We will definitely be back! Decor was really cool, too!

I love seeing business like this. The food was phenomenal. I've never had a seafood boil and wow!! I had my leftovers in the car and couldn't wait to get home to eat more!! A great price for the amount and the flavor!!!!

I'm 150% coming back as often as I can and recommending to everyone I talk to !!! read more

Great food, I liked the hot spicy level. The seafood boil is the best. Fries are great. The service was great. It was 10 ppl in my party and they were very attentive. I do recommend calling ahead for a reservation if you have a large party just to make sure they feel prepared. The ambiance is simple, things are served in baskets or paper plates which feels very authentic. You get a bib and gloves to dig in. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious! Great portion sizes. And great service! The owners/staff are super friendly and sweet! We got the Crab Kitchen Platter and we had to take half of it home cuz we were stuffed! Check out the pics of the portion size. We got the triple seasonings, mild- and I'm hooked! Coming back for more! Tons of people came in to pick up take out. Located by Westland Mall, easy to get to. Lots of parking. They could push tables together if you had a large group. read more

Quick service. Order was available within 25 minutes. We ordered the seafood boil. It was a good amount of seafood. Wished it also included more potatoes and corns without adding additional price. The seafood boil came with exactly one half corn and two potatoes as described. The quality was not bad. Order extra sauce. We enjoyed the Cajun sauce. Will definitely order again. Friendly staff. read more

10th trip to crab kitchen! Brought my buddy to show him the place. His expectations were high, and they were exceeded! The dish I get is a bag of love. And the enthusiasm of the owners adds to the satisfaction of the food, you can really tell they're happy to serve these dishes. King crab. It's rediculous how perfectly done it is. And as far as flavor - in one morsel of broccoli theres more flavor than most restaurants keep in their entire kitchens. Southern boil, house special seasoning, medium heat, which is spicy and perfect for allowing the seafood flavors to still permeate. And this added touch of a hard boiled egg to soak up the sauce. Unique and awesome. I could drink the broth but instead I ordered a side of garlic bread to soak it up. And in the midst of destruction there it was, a lobster tail, immense and luscious, soaking in the juices of its fallen brethren. Buried beneath the most massive leg of crab I've ever hefted. I've spent meals in Alaska that couldn't remotely compare to the delicacy that is crab kitchen. Epic yet modest, Anthony Bourdain is the only voice worthy to dictate how precious of a gem this hidden house of crab is. read more
