Food tastes frozen. The waitress is like half dead. Definitely not going there EVER AGAIN!!! Plus they try to over charge u Make sure u check your bill if u do go read more

Food is far better than some places we been to, reminds me of Joe's Crab Shack. Serving size is generous. Food is not overly seasoned.

I recently visited Crab Shack and unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. Although the service provided by the staff was excellent - attentive, friendly, and prompt - I was disappointed with the quality of the food. Everything I ordered, from the appetizers to the main course, was subpar in terms of taste and presentation. The food did not meet my expectations in terms of quality and taste. Despite the shortcomings of the food, the staff was pretty welcoming and attentive. When I didn't like my first two items I was able to exchange it for something different, however, the items I exchanged it for didn't taste good either! read more

The food here is fresh and flavorful good portions for the price. Family friendly. There's a bar when you walk in to your left so if you're just looking to hang for a drink it's positioned perfectly away from the dining area. It's not a place to go wild but you can certainly pre game there. The service was quick and the servers were friendly except for one young lady. I dined in with my kids and sister. They all approved so we will definitely be dining here again. read more

Good options and portions and the price is right. Pretty standard crab shack like place but it'll hit the spot and won't break your bank. The place is also clean looking unlike many of the Brooklyn crab shack places that have more of a Chinese takeout vibe. Like you can actually eat inside here and not feel bad for yourself. It never seems busy, I hope they don't close down because there isn't a place like this in the neighborhood. read more

The seafood boil was flavorful and tasty. I wasn't a fan of the catfish though, the fries were good. Would've given 5 stars had that tasted a little better because everything else was great. read more

I'm going to keep it short and sweet. Found this place on yelp Seen the reviews I want seafood let's try it out. It's Saturday night the spot is empty, one other party there. I ordered appetizer and a spoil, husband ordered the rice boil. The food came before the app..and when it came it had this smell to it like mop water..I think I came from the butter because that's what the garlic bread smelled like. Do not try the house blend sauce its nasty whoever likes that sauce please delete your yelp. We ordered wings for the app. The wings were something out of the box. Not worth the money or the trip read more

Server seemed to hate her job. No napkins for washing hands in bathroom. Food was definitely frozen and heated up. Place was cute but never would go back. read more

Casual , friendly staff, INCREDIBLE FOOD!! Great prices , and easy parking and public transportation, You won't be disappointed. They have great drinks too read more

I got the crawfish and shrimp boil with house blend flavor and my husband got the seafood rice with Cajun seasoning. I've had boils before and even though the seafood have shells on it, flavor does penetrate inside but with this place the flavor didn't go inside and I had to add salt to the sauce as well. As for the seafood rice, I was expecting a fried rice bowl with all the ingredients mixed in like at other boil places but the seafood and vegetables were on top of white rice. Service was good, waiter was helpful. read more

Food was amazing. Came here on a holiday and it wasn't that packed. Drinks are great and the crab and lobster are good portions. It doesn't take much work to get the meat out. read more

I have ordered several times from here and it's hit or miss. But when it's bad, it's really bad. I've spoken to them about it and showed them the picture. They gave me extra legs the following time, which were ok. But it keeps happening. The legs should crack, not bend. That's how you know they're semi-fresh. These had no crack left in them! Ugh! The photos are from separate occasions. The 2nd photo is just from today! I even reminded them on the phone to please make sure they were fresh. I will never go back! read more

Not gonna lie. The food was bussin when I went late in the afternoon on a random Wednesday. The boil was so fresh & the creamy butter sauce had me in heaven! It's a pretty chill spot nothing fancy but it's worth the try read more

the food was good i got a rice bowl with chicken and it was pretty good the garlic bread also good my parents got the dish that cost 90 something and they liked it. the service was lowkey bad the girl looked like she was teenager but still doesn't give her the right to be with such a attitude,she thought we didnt speak english and then when she came with the drinks she just put it on the table and the straws but the other lady whos is a adult was very sweet she even talked with us. read more

Okay I will be honest I mistakenly thought this place was an extension of the place in white planes called Holy Crab. Don't ask me why i thought that but i did. Service was nice and pleasant. No alcohol yet. The Food I ordered the oysters raw, it was great!! you only get 6 for 12 bucks i ordered 2 I ordered the mac and cheese - not ever again. I thought it was home made but it was basically box with too much water, no seasoning at all. I ordered the shrimp head off ( can't do the head) with snow crab legs, in Cajun Spicy sauce. NO NO NO. I don't like the presentation at all, it comes in this big big bag full of air and your food is at the bottom, they give you these small and medium potatoes uncut in the bag. Sauce is weird, basically it was mostly oil not butter but figured since it was Cajun that's how they do it but my friend got the creamy garlic butter that was mostly oil. So I'm guessing they add a bit of butter for flavor but it's mostly oil. My stomach did not appreciate that at all. The season and spiciness of it was good but the amount of oil your could have changed the oil in a truck, I would come back for the oysters. read more

I came back again the other day and the staff the food were even better than the last time I ordered the shrimp boil and it was so yummy, I'd definitely recommend this place for everyone . read more

Crab Shack Seafood Boil - a plate of chicken and broccoli - Seafood Near Me - Queens, New York

This is exactly what Ridgewood needed! Went to dine in on a Sunday night and the service was incredible. You can tell the staff is training, they even have a little sign at the washing station to let the customers know. I think that's extremely considerate to not only the patrons but the staff as well. There wasn't an crazy wait time for our food and id there was any type of delay, they were sure to communicate it to us. Now that we have that out of the way. Let's get to the food! Boyyy was that boil delicious!!! I had the garlic butter sauce on mine. Everything was super fresh. overall it was a 10/10 experience. this is just me giving constructive criticism, the unleveled tables were a little annoying to deal with. keep up the great work! Looking forward to going again soon. read more

Love the service! Felt comfortable and at home within my neighborhood. Love the hospitality and the food was amazing.

I was craving seafood boil and found this place on Yelp. The food and service were great! The interior was very updated and clean. I know I'll be back again when I'm craving shrimp, crawfish, and crab! read more

I liked the food but there was so many cockroaches and trash everywhere and the employees were mean to me

Was looking for a seafood place on a busy Saturday night and found this lowkey spot. And I'm glad I did because as much of a fan as I am of The Boil, the quality of the seafood can be mediocre. The shrimp here was bouncy and not over cooked or had that older crumby meat texture. The clams and mussels were also pretty decently cleaned not very much of grit unlike other places I've tried. And for 95$ you're getting your money's worth for the house boil that serves 2-3. They definitely use less butter comparatively but there was so much seafood juices left over that I made a second and third meal out of it. I do wish they used more garlic. The complementary garlic bread for the house boil was also fantastic. Def recommend. Love small businesses like this. P.s. they just got their liquor license. Although as a non drinker, they had virgin colodas (wish they were blended) which was definitely appreciated. read more

This place rules!!! We have been coming since they opened and we always have great food and service! Emily is the best!

Food is good. Some items are pricey. As expected. But a good substitute for Joe's Crab Shack.

The place is clean, food is also good. Price is low compare to other similar restaurants. This place is also getting better and better. I recommend you to go. Try it. read more

Crab Shack Seafood Boil - Fried Calamari - Seafood Near Me - Queens, New York

This crab roll is amazing. Makes me more of a crab roller vs lobster roller. Tastes like the sea in the best buttery way. If I were to put together an NYC wide food tour, this crab roll would definitely be on it. read more

Went here for my bday, I'm from New Orleans and crawfish is my fav food in the world. Crawfish are outta season, so they were small, but the sauce was fantastic. Best spot I've had crawfish since moving to NY. read more

The lobster roll is nice. The restaurant decorum is nice and clean. The service is friendly.

Coming in I did not know what to expect as the place was empty. We sat down and we're greeted with very warm service and delicious smells. I ordered the lobster roll and was very impressed (everyone was stealing my fries). The highlight was of course the boils which my brother and his gf ordered. Had I been more hungry I would have done the same as they looked fantastic and were incredibly reasonably priced (less than $10 for a half pound boil!!!) highly recommend, we can't wait to return. A true unappreciated gem, let's support this business!!! read more

Had dinner here recently, got a bunch of crab legs and shrimp everything was delicious and very well priced except the crab cakes... they look nothing like the photos here on yelp... i will be back for crab legs but not crab cakes unfortunately read more

Crab Shack Seafood Boil - Crab Cake - Seafood Near Me - Queens, New York

A beautiful restaurant and great food. Love the interior art deco which made me feel like dining n the paradise forever! Great vibes from the workers and customers We, a group of 12, enjoyed the delicious and really fresh seafood from oysters, fried calamari, crab cake sliders, lobster, king crab legs, dungeon crabs, lobster rolls, house boil, seafood rice bowl, etc. Can't believe some people in our group never heard of the dungeon crabs. The service was good and attentive considering it was only their soft opening. It would be even better when they got liquor license. Definitely a go place any day of the week. read more

Good food, go for the spicy or Cajun options. Shorthanded wait staff but it's worth it. No liquor license yet. Go with at least 3 or 4 people to order a larger selection. read more
