Decided to come again after having a good experience the first time but sadly left disappointed. The staff were still super friendly and nice, [[HIGHLIGHT]]environment was still clean as before.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My server, happily explained the menu and gave some recommendation. I got the Lobster Special with additional clams and mussels at medium spice level. The food this time left me very disappointed. The lobster weren't the best quality, potatoes and corn weren't cooked enough, wasn't spicy at all despite getting medium spice level, and was super oily and salty. Along with my server forgetting that she still had my table in her section. Overall, staff were still super friendly but food was very disappointing so not sure if I will be back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, not bad good music (hip/hop)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] service was slow visited on a Saturday night around 8 and we did have a large party; Once the food started it was not bad, but it did take a while to get things even a drink when we were right next to the bar and there were not many people in the restaurant. With all that it was not bad and would visit again. read more

When you've been to one crafty crab you been to them all. Surprisingly this location was so similar to the ones I've visited in Maryland. The music was on probably on someone's phones playlist. Lol. They had the college games on all the TVs in the restaurant. The service was really good. They had a weekend happy hour. The seafood came out fast. There was not a wait. I didn't go really late. I went around 7. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar was crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's good to know that they have a weekend happy hour. I love it. I definitely will return. read more

Good service and flavors sought here!! Tootsie was really great on checking up on us and ensuring the food and drinks were impeccable, paralleled to her service. Give her a raise immediately because she goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service. I wish I could clone her and put her at every customer service role! read more

Good food and service. Greeted and seated promptly. Several options to choose from. Lots of parking available. I'll be back. read more

Crafty Crab - B A. Snow Crab & Headless Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Fresh seafood for a good price! Stopped by for my moms birthday during the weekday (early dinner). Parking was easy as it's in a larger strip center. The restaurant wasn't too busy. We were seated immediately. Our waiter was kind and helpful with making recommendations. They have a ton on TVs do if you want to watch shows or sports you have plenty of options. The appetizers were delicious and probably my favorite, more details below. Now what you really want to know! Calamari - 5/5 some of best fried calamari I've ever had. Served with marinara and ranch. Seasoned fries - 5/5 served with ranch and ketchup King Crab - 5/5 with potatoes (2) and corn (1) Whole shrimp - 3/5 with potatoes (2) and corn (1) - I should have went up in a spice level, it was seasoned but it still was lacking some flavor. Catfish basket with sweet potato fries - 5/5 read more

Well decorated, (although there was still some sprinkling of Christmas decorations), super spacious no frills seafood spot. Came here around 9 with my boyfriend on Friday night. They play hip hop and rnb kind of at a louder level than expected for dining but it wasn't annoying or hard to talk over. There are tvs and a big screen on the back wall which makes it a nice spot for a game. We came for the boiled seafood but also got oysters. Was my first time having steamed oysters and I want them again again again! Prices were to be expected because it's seafood and life is expensive. Service wasn't bad but nothing that stood out. The shrimp and crawfish were very tasty and the portions left nothing to be desired. They are very generous with potatoes and currently have a buy 4 get 1 lb special on crawfish. Any place with some kina BOGO is always right with me. What stood out to us the most is the announcement for last call. The staff ring cowbells and scream it throughout the restaurant. We appreciated this as we have been to another seafood spot close to closing and when we attempted to add more food we were told last call passed. read more

It was my first time herebut they did not disappoint . Hot and seasoned soooooo good. The music set the vibe for me. Food came out quick and server was very attentive. I also had a strawberry lemon drop from the bar to top it all off. I'll be back again. read more

I was craving a crab boil while visiting Houston and I really enjoyed the Craft Crab. We went the day after thanksgiving it was pretty rainy, so the place was very chill- but I heard that was unusual and there's usually a line out of the door. I shared the Dungeness Special, with mild boom sauce and it was a perfect portion for . The eggs were slightly over cooked, but the potatoes and corn were soft/tender and they held the boil juices well. The crab was fresh, and huge and the boom sauce was the best I've ever had. Definitely go during happy hour and add a sweet cocktail to all the spice you'll have. Can't wait to visit again read more

Amazing experience at Crafty Crab! Visiting from Miami and I must say, I was very impressed. I'm super picky about service, but my server Emyia exceeded expectations. She had great energy, a positive attitude, and was very attentive. I mentioned I love refills -- she brought me a whole pitcher of lemonade! That made me happy. Highly recommend! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We prefer to do our own boils because you can control the spice and seasoning level but if you are going to get a bag, this is the place. I came here on a whim being indecisive for my birthday which was on a Thursday around 7 and it was a great choice. E was our waiter and did a great job. We had a party of 7 and all got boils. My 1lb of snow crab and whole shrimp were Medium in heat with boom spice and were perfect. So perfect we ordered another 1/2 pound. The long island was good and one was enough. Ya girl wasn't trying to be wasted. The music set the entire scene and we jammed all night. There was a small discrepancy with our order that wasn't cleared up. There was no manager available so we couldn't handle it. All in all the food was good and despite the small thing we would come back. UPDATE: we called and spoke to Courtney, a manager, and she told us we could come back and she would settle our balance. It was a difference of $2 and we were not going to come back the next day for $2. Had it been handled that day, this would've been a 5-star review. read more

Crafty Crab - Me!!! - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

It was so delicious and the service was so amazing that we went back two days in a row. Our first waitress was Eliya and the second waitress was Jala and both were over the top amazing! We drive 1.5 hours to get there. Now just a few days later my husband wants to go back again. We had blue crap, raw oysters and also scallops on the two trips we were already there. Eliya and Jala made the experience wonderful! read more

We walked right in on a Saturday evening. The staff were friendly and very busy... Yet they still found time to greet us with pleasant smiles We arrived with empty tummies and an idea of what we wanted, so by the time our server "E" came by we ordered with confidence!! It took him awhile to bring our drink orders, but we assumed the bar was overwhelmed, so we sipped our water. Hey! Get a bib if you get a boil ... They are juicy and delicious. I recommend the medium spice with the BOOM sauce. We shared the small seafood platter and added a couple of lobster tails. Don't hesitate.. Go get you some yummy goodness!! read more

Today I ate at Crafty crab and the food was delicious, the crawfish were fresh and so juicy, I had an overall great experience!!!

Service was great! The food was delicious and you definitely get a generous amount of food.

This is an update to the below review. We returned to Crafty Crab and it wasn't nearly as salty as the first visit, in fact the salt and level was great! While I enjoyed the calamari and seafood boil, I may not return to this establishment, because of the simple fact they do not serve real butter!! Real butter would put this place on a whole 'nother level! Original review....Fresh seafood and well seasoned sauces. Server was friendly and pretty attentive. My main complaint....the meal was way, way, way over salted. It was salty af, other than that it was tasty. read more

Food was great, drinks were on point and our waiter Nelson was extremely attentive. I would definitely return.

Seafood boil is good and tasty , you get plenty for the amount you pay. Now the gumbo on the other hand is absolutely terrible they need to take it off the menu. They are selling Campbell's Chunky Chicken and Sausage Gumbo in the can. - my server even confirmed it after I knew instantly after one bite. Nice ambiance and really cool serves ! read more

This was my first visit at crafty crab and I must say I can't wait to return! We ordered the mozzarella bites for our appetizer and they Were PHENOMENAL! It was hot, fresh, and cheesy just as they should be! For my meal I ordered a pound of snow crab and half a pound of boiled shrimp with the head on. The pound of snow crab came with 2 corns and a potato so my meal was very fulfilling. I got the BOOMin flavor in medium which was a mix of the Cajun, butter and lemon pepper spices and it was soo delicious. The lemon pepper added just the right tangy-ness for me so if you're not a fan of that leave it off. Also the medium wasn't very spicy so it was perfect for me. Our waiter was a little on the eccentric side but overall the service was good to me. Highly recommend crafty crab! read more

Solid experience. Came here on a Saturday night with friends and boy was this place jumpin. It was pretty packed which was expected but we waited at the bar until our table was ready. I would definitely recommend the happy hour drinks and the oysters for starters. My boil was decent, I did enjoy how big the snow crab legs were I felt like I got a good amount for the current market price. Good affordable place for seafood boils and they have flexible options compared to some other boil places i've been to down here. read more

Crafty Crab - Table - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Are you ready kids? - Aye, aye captain? I can't hear you? - Aye aye captain!!! Ha! I can't help but think of Spongebob, as I stepped into the Krusty Krab, oh barnacles! I mean the Crafty Crab in Westchase. The interior was absolutely an absolute dream for any sea food lover, neat décor all around, and great music/jams playing. We showed up on a Saturday night, and although there was ample parking, the place seemed to be popping! Better yet, cracking! Just like the juicy crab legs we were going to be cracking in a bit. Yum! If you have a craving for some seafood, at a good price, this is the place to be! The smells of deliciousness seemed to attract us instantly as we were seated at a booth. The booth was fantastic as it included a small garbage can on the table for all our shells, skins, and trash. Our waitresses also provided us with bibs and gloves. Her service was also stellar, and she was very helpful! We ordered the pound of Snow Crab Legs, a half dozen Steamed Oysters, and some extra corner (we didn't realize that the order of snow crab already came with corn and sausage, no worries, extra corn is always good). Our waitress also provided us with plenty of crackers and lime for our food. We had the option of getting some spiciness to our food, but decided to play it safe with our stomachs and chose the delicious Buttery Garlic. Once our food arrived, we were under the sea like the Little Mermaid. Oh man! The Oysters came and the were absolute flavorful and delicious. Absolute perfection. The Snow Crab legs were meaty and delicious. As if they came off of Mr. Krabs, himself! Each leg was a meatful and delicous masterpiece, and that Butterly Garlic sauce, mmmmm! Please forgive me as I wipe the drool of my face! Just yum! Good portions of food, affordable seafood, great service, clean, and an absolute Masterpiece! Two Big Thumbs up to the Crafty Crab. read more

If zero was an option- I would take it - service at the Westheimer location was HORRIBLE! The waiter ignores you,never gives you water after asking 3 times,the bartender dances and NEVER brings the drinks but Lies and says he will. You wait for nearly an hour before the Rude waiter helps while leaning over seating areas to talk to his friend, and I haven't started on the ghetto actions.WASTE OF MONEY!!!! DONT GO TO THIS LOCATION !!!!! read more

I like this place for boiled seafood. The taste is always spot on. The flavor is always the same. The quality of the food is price appropriate. My favorite is the dungeoness crab and scallops. I usually order with a side of sweet potato fries. The service however is sort of hit or miss. I have never encountered a rude server, however some move slower than others... may get your order confused. Overall it's a decent place and the food is tasty. read more

Y'all this is the only photo I had but I got 1lb of king crab, 1lb of Dungeness crap, snow crap, corn, eggs, potatoes, raw oysters and a few drinks. I was a bit skeptical because of the reviews but my waitress was A1. She was on point, fast and answered and explained anything thoroughly. My gf took me out for my birthday. The boom sauce was perfect. My food was cooked perfectly as well. Most places over boil the crap but they in fact did not. The only thing that was over-boiled was the eggs. I don't like it when my boiled eggs are green on the out side of the yolk but other than that everything was perfect. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Food, drinks, and service is amazing! cant beat this place. i got the snow crab and a miami vice

4th time is a charm! I've dined in, 3 times & ordered to-go, twice & all experiences were 5 star! I love seafood and they always satisfy my seafood craving. The parking lot is connected to a strip mall, so there's always parking. I've experienced no wait, anytime I've dined. The employees are all friendly and are ready to take your order, as soon as you are seated. The menu is filled with seafood greatness and some other Cajun delectables. I typically order the seafood platter which includes crab cluster, crawfish, shrimps, corn, potatoes, mussels, and oysters. I don't eat oysters or mussels and they gladly substitute for additional portions of the other items. I've tried their adult beverages and they pack a nice kick. They also provide an adult bib and gloves, which is very convenient. Their restrooms are huge and always clean. The employees are always on the move maintaining the overall cleanliness of this restaurant. They also have an easy to use online tool for to-go/delivery orders. I recommend every seafood lover to give this place a try whether you prefer boiled or fried. read more

I am pretty damned happy with my meal last night from Crafty Crab. The menu was a little daunting, be it I ended up with a 1lb combo of 1/2 snow crab and 1/2 shrimp. The meal for $25 came with potatoes and corn and I somehow at the whole thing. I was up to my elbows in sauce and wasn't even mad about it. It's Covid times so I'm in a hotel room... that's the maids problem! Solid meal, I might do it again sometime. read more
