The Oyster in butter garlic sauce didn't make the picture because I ate it so fast. #bigbackissues. The noodles in butter garlic sauce with the shrimp with no head was a delectable meal. This place never disappoints. read more

Crab Seafood House has become my favorite place to order to go. My seafood boil is always fresh and tastes amazing every single time. The seafood is never overcooked and the sauce is absolutely perfect, full of flavor and seasoned just right. You can tell they put care into their food. Highly recommend if you're craving a good seafood boil at home! read more

Crab Seafood House - Seafood boil with crawfish, green mussels, and shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Sanford, North Carolina

Recently opened in Sanford so decided to check it out for a special family dinner. The location is very modern with neon lights & cute fish themed decor. They also have a full bar with some unique cocktails. Service was very attentive and prompt. For the 4 of us, we ordered the Crab House Special A which came out in a huge pan (see pic). We also ordered fried oysters with sweet potato fries. Food was excellent! The portions were very generous & an excellent value. Seafood was very fresh. We actually had too much food & ended up taking some of it home. We'll definitely be back! read more

Me and my wife tried to seafood broil at the crab seafood house, and it was a great experience.

My family of 5 (including three kids) had a fantastic dinner at Crab Seafood House in Sanford, and we can't stop raving about it! The service was outstanding--our server was super friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone was happy. The seafood was fresh and tasted absolutely amazing everything was cooked to perfection with that delicious Cajun flavor. We got the boil bag (with their house sauce, medium spice), and wow, it had plenty of food! Loaded with crab legs, shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage, it easily fed all of us read more

New olreanian here I found the food solid and tasty (obviously a different style here) Lobster bisque good not sweet like some Clam chowder very solid. Crab bites unique Hush puppies good to dip in clam chowder #6 cajun / hot- good potatoes/corn and shrimp were the highlights of that dish. We will be back !! read more

Great food, excellent service. The seafood boil was perfectly seasoned, especially the crab and shrimp ! Try many Cajun seafood restaurants. This's my favorite one so far!! Will come back soon~ read more

What an amazing addition to the Sanford area! First, food is incredible. You will never see a complaint about flavor. Second, the staff, owner etc care ALOT and are pouring their hearts and souls into this place. It really comes through. The over all ambiance is AWESOME. Nothing like it in Sanford. Note to staff/owner; if you see negative reviews you'll notice it's 90% people complaining about price. Sanford unfortunately is full of boomers living on social security so any town growth that brings us to the current century they complain about. They have lived in this town their whole lives and never traveled. Your pricing is 100% correct and do not change it. Seafood is a luxury and good seafood even more so. It should cost. The younger generation building this town out now will stick by you! read more

Ask for Melissa, best server! Very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu! Food was great! We will be back!

The food was okay. I had a sampler and it seemed over cooked and zero flavor. The service was okay. They sat me at the bar which I'm not a fan of. And it was VERY busy! read more

The atmosphere is clean and pleasant. The service was excellent and our steamed seafood came out hot, spiced as requested and delicious. Please keep up the good work! We are so happy to have this place here in Sanford. read more

I've got to say I'm pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was not at all what I expected, way nicer than you would imagine for being in a strip mall next to a Food Lion. The staff was very attentive and the food was very well seasoned. There are some small kinks to be worked out but it's a new restaurant so no big deal. I will definitely be back. read more

My husband and I drove from Pinehurst to Sanford to eat at the Crab Seafood House. We got the shrimp and Alaskan crab legs seafood boil and it was good, and the house seasoning was great. We will definitely go again and maybe invite some friends to go along with us. read more

Stopped in for lunch. I had the calamari and sweet potato fries and my friend had the flounder and sweet potato fries. Excellent service, great food and good prices. Portions are pretty large as well. We both took home half our meal. Atmosphere is great. Highly recommend. I will be back. read more

We have been going here since they first opened. I wanted to wait and try them several times to give an honest review. So we've been a total of 4 times now and each time it's been AMAZING! We haven't never had bad service, bad food, or any problems what-so-ever! My 4 year old son loves the kids chicken nuggets and french fries... I always get the sausage fried rice and a side of the spring rolls... and my husband gets the make your own bag...... we usually drive to Raleigh for his crab boil bags, but now we can stay in town. He said that they are better than the ones he gets at other seafood boil places. The food comes out hot and fresh, and our servers have been wonderful and attentive! The ambiance is completely different than any place here in Sanford (and any of the others out of town that we go to). My son loves the fish and crab projections that greet you when you walk in the door. Don't let what the others have to say about their experience, either good or bad, determind if you go or not... go try them out for yourself with an open mind! (Don't go in being a "Karen" ) read more

Everything was great and we will be going back soon. Great flavor, great service, and a family friendly atmosphere. I hope this restaurant is here for the long run. read more

Food and service were great!!! I can never find clams, and their baby clams were awesome!! The butter garlic seasoning was amazing! The ONLY thing I didn't like about the restaurant was every time there was a birthday celebration, they played a VERY loud annoying song and had a crab and several employees go to their table. If only they would turn the volume down, it would be perfect!!! And I am one who always likes the music loud at home!!! lol! read more

Holy buckets the boils are amazing. Be sure to try the lobster bisque and hush puppies too. And their special house sauce is the best! Full of flavor you won't be disappointed. Great atmosphere and something for everyone! read more

The atmosphere & ambiance were very nice- but it was a bit messy. There were plates, bags, and used cups all across the bar next to our table and no one cleaned it the whole time we ate. I had the shrimp po-boy sandwich 3/10 My family all had seafood boils and they were just average. Customer service was pretty good, but we won't be returning unfortunately. read more

The food and service were great. The employees were very friendly and very nice. I will be going back soon.

This restaurant was clean and spacious. The wait time was relatively short. The food was very good. Not your usual southern seafood house. Almost all sides were ala carte. The Cole slaw was not good though and the usual things like hush puppies were extra. Shrimp basket came with shrimp and fries. I didn't see baked potato as an option. The shrimp salad was very good. My complaint was with the server. We had to wait or ask for things that usually are already on the table when seated. Salt/pepper, eating utensils. We had to ask for cocktail sauce as well. So everything was brought to the table one at a time. She never came back until our meal was finished to check about drinks. Which we had run out of halfway through the meal. So the food was good, but the server was not efficient. She was friendly just not in top of things. I would definitely try this place again, the seafood is the best in town! read more

The food was SO good! We have tried the boil with house seasoning and it's perfect. we have been back 4 times since they opened!

No complaints!!! Staff were pleasant, food was delicious! The environment was perfect!
