This location have the absolute worst customer service, I came twice & both times it was horrible. First time at the bar & the second time in the dining area (we waited ten minutes and no one came to our table) We will not be returning to this location read more

Kinda like Hooters. Except that it's over priced seafood instead of chicken. At least Hooters has decent chicken. It leaves much to be disired. read more

The food was meh, the service was meh (young boy covered in hickies, should have sent that home). If you are really in the mood for it go, but other places would be better. Especially when answering a young daughter "what's all over his neck." Ambiance- the AC was struggling so they added box fans. We won't bother going back. read more

Review is based on a delivery order. The food was good but some items seems to be overcooked. I ordered 1/2lb of shrimp and 1/2lb of clams in the boom sauce. The sauce was really good. The corn was super overcooked. I also tasted their fried Catfish which was good too.. I would definitely try other items on the menu. read more

I have to agree with the other 3 star ratings. My fiancé & I are used to going to the Crafty Crab in University area and have had great experiences there. We decided to try this location since his relatives live closer to this one and regretted it. Service was slower than our previous experiences despite seeming to be less busy. Our food wasn't as hot and fresh so our seafood got cold midway through eating it. Overall, our server was kind and checked on us every once in a while. The flavor was still decent but definitely would've tasted better had it not gotten cold so quickly. We'll probably continue going to the other location in university area from now on. read more

Service is horrible. Food is ok. Our food came in warm, not even hot. Our waitress was just terrible. We literally waited a long period of time for food and refills, only 8 customers and 5 waiters. We will continue to go to Crab Crackers on University. We came here tonight to try this place out and we give it a zero. read more

We hesitated to come here when I read the reviews. Some were terrible. However we were very pleasantly surprised! The food was outstanding! I had the boiled headless shrimp in the garlic butter sauce, and my only regret was only ordering half a pound. My husband got fried oysters which he loved, and my grandson got snow crab legs which he said were better than some we had gotten in Hilton Head. We will definitely be back! read more

The customer service was amazing. Tashay was an outstanding waitress. The food was so good, and you differently get what you pay for! read more

Best food I've had in a long time. Get the Combo A!!! It will never disappoint. Atmosphere is amazing and the music is FIRE!! Definitely a great date night atmosphere or a place to bring a group of friends. They've got a party room for huge groups too. Drinks are ON POINT read more

New restaurant that finally got to open! Used to be the Mayflower by the mall. Walking inside the redo is "upscale casual", dark wood tables and nicely set up center bar. They are also following all Covid guidelines inside. Booths have comfortable seats & plenty of table room. Majority of menu is different combos you can make (crab, shrimp, lobster, etc.) with pricing pretty market fair. There are also shrimp, chicken & fish baskets. I ordered chicken & onion rings, my husband the shrimp & fries, along with side of hushpuppies. The hushpuppies are round & nicely crunchy. Good flavor, with just a touch of seasoning. Generous food portions. The chicken & shrimps had a crunchy coating somewhere between a batter & panco. Looks thicker than it really is, but compliments them perfectly. Don't let the big looking coating on the shrimp fool you - the shrimp really are that big in there! Onion rings are the big kind, but light & very crunchy - no squishy onions here! The chicken was hot, juicy & crunchy. Hubby also ordered a side of corn (got 3 little ears). Seasoned in their Cajun seasoning he went crazy for them. Good food, clean atmosphere, we will be coming back. read more

Nice selection of seafood options, but the crab boils are the main attraction. The crab boil was cooked perfectly and served in a steam bag along with potatoes and corn. Recommend the spot for your crab dinner. read more

Pricey, uniform standards are sub par, seafood was good, but overall dining experience was lacking guest engagement

So glad to finally have a great crab spot closer to the area. I have ordered take out several times and the food it always hot and full of flavor!! read more

Tonight was my birthday dinner with my husband so I picked a seafood place we like nearby, but their kitchen was closed so we went here instead. I loved the smell when you first get close to the door. Definitely makes your mouth water. It was about a 20-minute wait, so not too bad. The server came up and that's when things went downhill. I ordered a drink from the bar for my birthday and water and my husband ordered water. She wasn't even looking at us. She was looking around the restaurant. Not sure what she was looking for but her affect was flatter than a crepe. No smile, no recognition of what we said, just left and came back with our drinks a while later and again, in her flat monotone voice, asked if we were ready to order. We got our food and we ate it. Definitely was not as good as our first choice of place and the amount of food with my husband's Shrimp basket was minimal at best. She never came back to ask how our food was. When I asked for a to-go bag/box, she got me one, then dropped off the check and said, "If you don't see me again, you can just pay up there at the register." I think the worst part of the whole experience was my feet constantly sticking under the table to the platform of the table. Then when I walked out, my feet sounded like they were sticking with each step. Definitely not clean. The best part of the experience is that I believe we either got another table's check which was lower than ours or she didn't ring something up. I didn't notice it or look over the check when I paid it, but later on this evening, I looked at the amount from the checking account and wondered why it was lower than I thought it should be. Either way, it was to our favor and her loss. Maybe she needs to pay attention more when serving customers. Needless to say, we won't be going back to unclean and poor service. read more

This is what was eaten 7 shrimp and 2 crab legs from the whole meal corn was old certainly not fresh most likely it was from last nights coo session. The crab was recooked twice first batch was like rubber the 2nd was slimy as agreed with the manager present. The manager comes and gives 3.00 off that was the price of the soda with over half of the combo going to the trash. I ask for a business cards they have none. Then he says I wish I would have known there were other issues so I could have done a better discount... well he had time abs did nothing. The experience was by far the worst I will continue to frequent the Charlotte location. read more

Don't waste your money for the overpriced, small portions. Thanks for the modern day rip-off reminder! Glad I know the difference when the cook is really the one who can't properly measure. SMH. Not worth it. read more

Food is good, but very pricey and bad service. A bunch of young kids talking instead of waiting on tables.

The king crab was so good here I am a traveler to different places and this one did not disappoint

Arrived at 9:05 and I watched three employees stand by the bar and talk and not even acknowledge my presence and finally around 9:20 when they were finished talking and one was apparently getting off she looked at her watch and said we aren't sitting anymore. Worst customer service I've ever witnessed I will NEVER eat here and I urge you not to either, obviously their social hour is more important than servicing their customers. read more

I ate here for lunch on Saturday. Nice outdoor seating. When we first arrived they told us outdoor seating was closed due to lack of staff. But the bartender allowed us to sit outside and we did get a server who served us well. I had the crab cakes and the were very good. The sweet potato fries were the best. Lightly crunchy on the outside and nice, soft and sweet on the inside. The French fries were the same way because I ate some off my friends plate. He had the fried shrimp. The shrimp were a nice size and the batter was perfectly fried and very tasty! I will go back to try the shrimp boil for dinner. read more

Any place that has a trash can on the table is for me!! We have traveled all over the south east and had seafood from many restaurants, but this was by far the best crab boil we've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection. We shared a pound of headless shrimp and a pound of snow crab legs which came with corn on the cob and potatoes. The crab came out of the shells with ease, the shrimp wasn't over cooked, and the corn and potatoes weren't over boiled like it can be sometimes at restaurants. It comes to your table in the seafood steam bag which was also a new experience for us. We chose Cajun seasoning with a medium spice level and we're googling trying to figure out how to get our hands on that spice! All jokes aside, I really do like having the tiny trashcan and roll of paper towels on the table. It cuts down on the mess. We will definitely definitely be back! If I SEARCH for something to complain about, it would be that they use paper straws. I get "save the turtles", but it's soggy and falling apart before I'm finished with my dinner. I'm sure they would have brought me another one if I asked read more

The food was delicious I was very impressed I didn't like the music so much It wasn't dining music and appropriate for young kids! Your our waitress was very friendly and attentive I would recommend your restaurant to my family and family read more

This restaurant should be avoided at all costs. Overpriced and the serving staff doesn't even know what beer they have on draft. I'd rather go to Red Lobster. At least they have cheddar bay biscuits. read more

Had the best crab legs ever in this place. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Recommend everyone try this place

My daughter got extreme food poisoning one hour after eating here. She was sick for five days. She had to take a round of antibiotics.

I ordered the king crab boil and it literally came with 1 crab leg and 2 potatoes for $22. And then they didn't have any crab crackers clean so it took them 10 minutes to wash one and bring it to our table. I don't complain usually about food places. But my family and I were very disappointed at this place! read more

I was so disappointed in this place. Been there twice. The service was horrible the first time. Absolutely horrible. But we had a new waiter and I thought we would give it another chance. So we went back recently and it was just as bad. And it wasn't even crowded. Several of us ordered crab and there were no crab cracking utensils! What?? How can you serve crab legs like that!! The food was ok. But honestly not good enough for the service. We will NOT be going back. This place won't last long if they don't step up! read more

Great place for crab boil its a little pricey and takes awhile but worth the wait maybe for a special occasion but they should lower the prices read more

The crab I ordered was mangled and some of the legs were missing. We received more mussel/clam shells than meat and the sauce was disproportionate. Not worth the money, you can easily create the same dishes at home read more

The service was good. Food delivery was fast. My server checked back frequently. This was a bar type atmosphere, limited light, music in the background and the full service bar. Couple of small negatives #1 The snow crabs were small. (About 2/3 the size of other restaurants). They provided a plastic fork to eat with, there were crackers and shears. I ordered fries and there wasn't enough ketchup to cover. All in all the pleasant experience and I would repeat. read more

Tried this for the first time this evening. Had fried catfish with coleslaw and fried oysters with french fries. Catfish fillets were small thin and near tasteless. How about some seasoning in the batter? Cole slaw was just as tasteless. French fries were decent nothing special. Fried oysters the same. Food in general overpriced for the portion size and especially the quality. Go elsewhere. read more

Everything is good here, service, food, and drinks i love the boils always, the mix sauce everything is just awesome sauce.

The staff are friendly and fairly efficient. Our waiter completed our order accurately. We ordered crab legs, he forgot shell crackers he walked by us not two feet and ignored us. Sometime later he came back but by then the crab legs were cold. The food was mediocre, small portions and expensive. Go elsewhere. read more

So we went to eat here. We went in maybe 2 other tables seated. They had a TouchTunes jukebox so I played a few songs because I didn't like the Rap they were playing. (Classic rocks stuff Eagles, Tom Petty) They staff was really upset. When we left I heard one of them say as we were leaving "finally". No wonder the place was empty. God forbid I play music that doesn't agree with the staff. Food and service wasn't all that great either. Maybe if they treated their customers as if they were not an "inconvenience" they would have more guest. I won't be back. read more
