    I have to thank my food critic and friend RITA for recommending this place to me and treating me to a great lunch. Before we begin, this is place is not for non-crabby at heart"! Lol Nestled right off the DUMBARTON BRIDGE in Newark lies this great crab and fish casual restaurant. Mexican and Cajun specialties are highlighted. I must say I was pleasantly shocked. I had the Jumbo Coconut Prawns and they were excellent. You have to take a look at the wide array of seafood that this place has and what you get when you order the full meal, amazing. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you Rita for the recommend and thank you Crabby Crabby for the excellent cooking and service.

    My parents and I decided to go to Crabby Crabby. This is unique because they not only serve seafood but also Mexican food. I basically scrolled through the menu and they have Mexican items. They also do Taco Tuesdays. Haven't had seafood boil for a while and I love to revisit to consume them. Food is really good there especially sausages and crabs. I also had Cajun fries and they're really on point with the seasoning. Crab is really hard to cut especially with the tool to cut it since I'm not really familiar with how to use it. Quite pointy though which made me have to constantly strategize on how to cut it until my dad showed me how. We mainly came here for the seafood boil but perhaps, I should try one of their Mexican dishes as well as fried foods that come with fries.

    Made a reservation for a saturday night but walk in would have been fine - there were customers for sure but no wait at all. The service was great, they came by to check in, took follow up orders as well. The combo itself did take a hot second to come out, but it was piping hot when it did. My favorite was the shrimp, followed by crawfish, followed by lobster tail. The lobster was not tender. Garlic fries came out hot also, with LOTS of garlic on top (note: garlic not that cooked, so it had a bite, which I personally liked, but was unexpected). Overall the ambiance was good. They had many TVs up for sports showings. I love the form factor of seafood boil where you can get a little messy with it.

    Finally decided to try this spot and was impressed. The service was quick and staff were attentive to our needs. The quality of the seafood is also good- additional $2 for fresh crawfish but I didn't mind. We got the crabby crabby medium and it was the perfect spice. This isn't your typical seafood boil spot, she does have that Latin taste to it, and it was delicious. We came right before the dinner rush and the inside of the restaurant was very clean. I forgot to take a before pic, but here's the after!

    Great food. I ordered garlic butter sauce and it was delicious even with no heat. The portions are very good and price wise it is very fair. . I came around lunchtime and it was very busy so the wait was long. I had to go to the counter to get to go bags , and they never gave me my water. The place is well kept and the tables were arranged for easy access. The restroom was clean and well stocked. It is much better compared to the ones in San Francisco. I will be back soo

    Cajun Fries

    10/10 find! I didn't realize Crabby Crabby was more than just a seafood boil spot, but was surprised to find out they also offer Mexican food. Pretty unique combo. We came in around 7:30 pm and it wasn't packed at all. We were seated right away and had our order taken quickly. We ordered 2 lb head-on shrimp with sausages, 1 lb crawfish with potatoes, and a side of Cajun fries. For both the shrimp and crawfish, we chose the Crabby Crabby mix (original Cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic butter) with mild spice. Everything tasted SO good. The sauce was not overly buttery or oily and tasted even better with the lemon juice. The Cajun fries were perfectly crunchy and even better when dipped in the Crabby Crabby sauce. Would recommend to friends and definitely saved in my collections as a go-to seafood boil spot!

    This is an update of my previous review. They've nailed with the extended Mexican menu. But, everything else was lackluster. Service was okay at best and I'm a little surprised they couldn't substitute the carne asada in the Cajun burrito for another meat. It was pretty packed so they're definitely doing something right but I still think there's room for improvement.

    First time coming to this place and will definitely be coming back! We planned our arrival before the stated busy period on their Yelp place and definitely beat the dinner rush. We were quickly helped and started our meal shortly after. Kiddos enjoyed their picks and I was surprised when the oldest ventured and tried many new things. Left with a long list of things we want to try and can't wait to tell friends about it. Very cute decor and clean and efficient service. Good for large groups or a solo date.

    Special 5 dollar michelada
    Lucy V.

    First time being at crabby crabby The staff was welcoming. Sat me down quick took my drink order. Brought drink order fast. The michelada was very tasty was not too salty gray flavor and not too think of the tomato juice. We ordered. Half crab and half shrimp. Because it was only two of us. We tried all three sauces together non spicy for my daughter. I loved the flavor. The only thing was it was too oily. Not sure if that is a normal thing in this type of foods. I haven't been to these type of restaurant for a while. Don't remember if need too much oils on them. Garlic noodles was my Favorite. Anything with garlic I loved. Good flavor and can taste the garlic

    Louisiana boil and Mexican food is quite a combination but makes Crabby Crabby a hit lunch spot for those in the area or perhaps a feast of a dinner for those looking to celebrate by dining and drinking with the local sports game playing. Situated in a bustling local shopping center equipped with a grocery store, gym, gas station and other eateries as well as neighboring two other fully serviceable shopping centers, Crabby Crabby is crowded out yet stays relevant as the only seafood boil within a few mile radius. Given its proximity to the highway and bridge entrance/exit, this location is prime for commuters and can get a bit hectic during rush hour. But if you're coming off for a lunch break, you're in for a treat with their lunch special combos - one whole pound of seafood with the classic fixings of corn, sausage, and potatoes for less than $15! As you venture into the spacious parking lot and park in the seldomly taken spots in front of the shop, you'll encounter their wall of signs promoting their specials and deals. Taco Tuesdays are available here (2 bucks a taco), 49er game days are also a time to get BOGO bottle beers, and happy hour (5-7 pm) means half price draft beers. Whatever day and time you decide to come in, you can take advantage of the deal and fill up at a fraction of the normal price. The place is pretty spacious and has a few booths and large tables for medium to large parties. It's not a proper boil without the village (but of course it's perfectly fine to come as a village of one - you just better have the stomach to eat all that food)! As we were seated, the staff asked us for drink orders and handed out menus for us to peruse. The menu is pretty extensive as it encompasses a variety of seafood sold at market price, fried appetizers to soak up alcohol and for guilty indulgences, delicious hot entrees to accompany the shellfish and crustaceans, and Mexican cuisine classics. We came in specifically for their lunch special which itself has a few options allowing you to mix and match a half pound of shrimp with other seafood like mussels, scallops, crawfish or clams as well as other staples like garlic noodles and fries. As a party of three, we got three different lunch combos to get a taste of their mollusks. For each boil, you'll have the option to select your mix of spices/flavors and your level of heat/spice. For flavors, you'll have the option among Cajun, garlic butter, lemon pepper or a mix of all three, which they've coined the "Crabby Crabby" mix. As a first timer, go with their signature mix! And as for spice level, you'll be able to go non-spicy, mild, medium, or hot. As heat novices, we opted for the mild and it was the perfect level for us. Upon placing our order, the staff passed out some limes and containers of salt and black pepper to be used to supplement our seafood catch. In addition, they handed out a bib and a pair of gloves per person. It was a fun experience in itself to don the getup, but it definitely was appreciated as we dove into the food with no remorse, completely protected from the splatter of sauces everywhere. It took just a bit of time for the boils to come out in plastic bags, smothered in the seasoning and spices. The seafood was cooked well and the flavors were spread out evenly. The over one pound bags were certainly loaded up and after consuming it all, we were certainly full to the brim. If you do end up needing to take the leftovers to go, they'll help you bag it up. Overall, Crabby Crabby is your local seafood boil offering delicious food at a great value nearly everyday of the week and almost all hours of the day. Its variety of catch is abundant and will certainly satisfy any craving but for those looking for something more terrestrial, they have tacos and burritos filled with some of your favorite beef, pork or chicken fillings. The setting is super casual (you'll appreciate the decorations) so it's likely not a place to host any formal gathering but for any party where it's customary to eat with your hands (finger licking and all), this is the place to be!

    Gered S.

    I've only been to crabby crabby one time before this time, and I have to say, compared to other places, this place tops them all. The biggest thing for me is the service and our server is super nice and very informative. He was telling us things we didn't even know about, like I did not know they had agua frescas, i got cucumber lime btw, I also ordered 2 lbs of FRESH crawfish because I love crawfish. You should definitely come try it out, It won't disappoint. There's also a really big shark on the ceiling and I love sharks so that's always awesome to see.

    Combo 5, 7, and 8
    Cathy L.

    Hidden gem alert: $12.99 seafood boils that satisfy. Popped in for a Wednesday girls' lunch and lucked out--weekday combos for just $12.99. We tried Combo 5 (shrimp + scallops, Cajun, medium), Combo 7 (head-on shrimp + clams, Lemon Pepper, mild), and Combo 8 (head-on shrimp + garlic noodles, Crabby Crabby mix, mild). The portions? Surprisingly generous. Each came with corn, potatoes, and fresh, flavorful seafood. Garlic noodles leaned soft and udon-like--still hit the spot. Crabby Crabby was the flavor MVP. Lemon Pepper didn't quite shine, but nothing disappointed. If you're after a seafood boil without the big bill, this lunch deal is a no-brainer. Go hungry. Leave happy.

The vibe is awesome, they have a great bar area with a couple of TVs playing sports, and the music was definitely bumping. The staff was incredibly nice and super attentive to our table the entire night. Food-wise, this spot doesn't miss a beat. One of the best surprises was that they offer fresh crawfish, which is pretty rare to find at most seafood boil places. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor, and the garlic fries were amazingly good. Honestly, this boil spot isn't lacking a single thing. Whatever they are doing, they need to keep it up! This has easily jumped to the top of my list as one of my absolute favorite seafood boil spots.

My party arrived around 6:38 PM and added our name to the waitlist for dinner. While waiting, it became increasingly clear that more than half of the dining room had already finished their meals. Many tables appeared to be staying simply to watch the soccer match on the TVs. I completely understand wanting to enjoy the game, but at the same time there were 4-5 parties waiting for tables, with groups of various sizes. This raises an important question: at what point does management step in to balance hospitality with serving waiting guests? While no one should be rushed through their meal, when tables have clearly finished dining and a long wait is building, there should be some effort to manage table turnover during peak dinner hours. After waiting about 45 minutes with no indication that seating would happen anytime soon, we decided to leave and eat elsewhere. Ironically, we didn't receive the text that our table was ready until 8:07 PM--nearly an hour and a half after we first checked in. The food may be great, but based on this experience, the waitlist management left a lot to be desired. I hope Backyard Bayou reviews how they handle busy nights and finds a better balance between accommodating guests who want to linger and serving the many customers waiting to dine.

Who knew gas station fried chicken could taste this good. Also, I've tried a few other Krispy Krunchy locations, but none come close to this location in terms of taste and quality. Ordering is simple and fast - tell the guy at the counter what you want, he prints out a bill for you which you use to pay at the billing counter, and then you pick up your order. I generally go for the chicken plus biscuit combo and more often than not, finish the biscuit in the car while driving back home. When they are out of biscuits or if I want more than 4 pieces of chicken, I go for the 8 piece chicken and I have to say it is an unbeatable deal for 8 pieces of hand breaded chicken plus taxes at less than 20 bucks. Yes, the cajun seasoning can sometimes get a tad too salty, but generally, they really nail the flavor at this location. The chicken is always fresh here and they do sometimes run out of chicken, which means you'll need to wait to get piping hot chicken; otherwise service is generally super fast. Also, love their newly redesigned kruch boxes which let the steam out and help keep the chicken really krispy and krunchy.

Their presentation will of course be the first thing that will catch your eyes. They know how to work with colors, and know even better how to balance out a traditional Indian decor while still adding touches of the modern world that would appeal to both international and desi guests equally. They brought in the fountains for our paani-puri (that was just starting to get in trend around the time of our wedding) and it was surely a show-stopper from a food-fashion point of view. People were mind-blown. The next thing that amazed us was the uniqueness and creativity of their dishes. Our guests were amazed by the pineapple halwa and kept talking about how they have never had something like that before. We felt super blessed in the sense that it reminded us of stories of older Bengali weddings back in the country where some caterers were famous for inventing new dishes that have stayed in the cuisine of the state. Their shooters, which we used as desserts, were marvelous as well. Their portion sizes were quite big, no complaints on that either. The taste of the food is often overlooked when the decor is so vibrant, but that is something where Gulkand ticked off their checklist also. All in all, working with Gulkand was one of the easiest parts of our wedding planning, went super smooth, very understanding about budget constraints, very flexible, and last but not the least, super super passionate about what they do and their love for this work is very evident and each and every step of dealing with them. Would highly recommend them and we can't wait to host our next big event and ask them for help again.
