I came here for a birthday celebration. Plenty parking and plenty seating. I ordered a strawberry lemon drop because I heard the drinks were strong. Disgusting. Sent it back and got a margarita and it was too sweet but I kept it. Ordered the boil with crawfish and shrimp. They give plenty corn potatoes and shrimp..like way tooo much! They should be embarrassed to sell those tiny crawfish though. They were not good. The boom sauce was good for dipping. They had music flowing. It was a cool spot.

Every time I come here, the food and service is amazing. I highly recommend this place. I actually drive all the way from Missouri city to come here. That goes to show you how good the food is. Highly recommend!

Excellent flavor, add a lil lime squeeze and it's delicious. Few of my go-to places are LA crawfish and crawfish shack. Crafty Crab sits somewhere in between in terms of flavor and their (previously frozen) crawfish is delicious and I actually think it was the best out of the all those frozen crawfish I had this winter, lol I always crave crawfish when weather gets cold.... I asked for extra paprika/cajun powder and yes, if you like spicy it's worth it cuz U needed to add a lil bit more of heat to their my mouth on fire as I love spicy. Good spice, well balanced garlic butter & cajun spice. Very nice. If anything, I would ask it to be a lil less salty. It's not too bad for sure it's delicious as it is, but I always prefer low sodium diet so think I'd like it more if it was a bit less salty.... It comes with potatoes and corn, yum! Nonetheless, Excellent pick, I can't wait to try when liv crawfish is available, it's gonna be even better!!'

Upon pulling up, we would've thought it was a club, because it was jumping. Music was loud from the parking lot. After we entered the building, it was lower and there wasn't as many people as we expected with the full lot. Ambiance was great. Our server was Yasmin and she was so sweet. To drink, I ordered the $7 hurricane special and starburst candy shot. Idk who was working the bar, but the liquor was liquoring. 10/10. To eat, despite wanting 1/2 pound of shrimp, I order the pound of headless shrimp because that's the smallest portion they have. It was inconvenient. I also order the special that comes with headless shrimp & 2 snow crabs -- both the boom flavor and hot with a side of garlic butter. Everything was cooked to perfection. I didn't want to slap my momma after eating the dry rub. Garlic butter was giving butter, not garlic. Overall meal 9/10. I would come here again.

This is actually my 2nd time here. The first time was for my cousin's bday Aug 22, 2022. This time I came for dinner on 7/6/24. This review is based on both experiences at this restaurant. I will tell you that the Seafood is really good here. I'm a Seafood Snob, so I critique everything. They have a jukebox that you can play music. The two times that I've been there, they are always jamming. The customer service was on point once again! I ordered the headless Shrimp Medium Boom Spice and it was just right. The flavors and the taste was banging. My bf ordered the steamed Oysters mild boom and the Scallops mild boom. The Oysters were pretty good and the scallops were cooked just right. You can easily over cook scallops and they are ruined at that point. We ordered a few drinks and that starburst shot was hitting. It was a great night and great dinner. The place is pretty popular. My daughter frequents there and so does one of my long time friends. I have to get over here more often. The food isn't the only good thing this restaurant has going, but I love places that play music and show sports- that's how I bribed my bf to go there. Lol!

Great service and the mango frozen margarita was great. We both got the fried shrimp dinner with onion rings, the shrimp were good but some had way more breading then usual.

Omg! Fresh off the plane met a young girl and she gave us a list of places to go. We rolled up heard music and felt like yes we here for it! Ordered up food and baby a robot brought it to us....okay okay yes! Service was good and fast. Now let me tell u bout this fooooooood delicious. We also got crab cakes and didn't gat a picture. Catfish was so fresh and the shrimp was flavorful n big. It was a win for sure.

Crawfish Special buy 4lb get 1lb free $40 come with a potatoes and corn

I'VE FINALLY FOUND MY NEW GO TO SPOT FOR CRAWFISH. Boom sauce was amazing. A lot of great flavor. Everybody around the table loved it. Fried catfish platter was perfectly fried. Fish was not dry or anything. Only reason I've taken off a couple stars is we ordered fried calamari and steamed oysters which are APPETIZERS. Which means they should come out BEFORE our main entrees. We waited about 40 minutes and got everything all at once. That made it very frustrating because we had no update from our waitress regarding the wait for our appetizers. The oysters and fried calamari came out room temp and not hot at all like they were sitting waiting for the main entrees. About 1/3 of our order of calamari was all stuck together in a clump. Other than that the flavor of everything was 5/5.

A. Snow Crab & Headless Shrimp, corn, eggs, 3 Piece Potatoes, broccoli
Candy S.

Although you can't see everything I got in the seafood boil, it was really good. I don't like super spicy food so I ordered the house sauce, mild. Very good, the service was good the waiter was friendly and attentive. The ambiance was ok, a few crazy people in there but I was too busy enjoying my food with my daughter. We shared and we both were super satisfied and full. I spent about $68 not including tip. I chose the seafood boil with 3 clusters of crab, shrimp, corn, potatoes, boiled eggs and broccoli (wanted to try broccoli very good). Fried catfish, oysters and fries, very fresh and flavorful. Will go back, I heard this was the better location of all crafty crabs.

Michael, the owner, greeted us and took care of us! We started with the Jumbo Crab Fingers which were really good - I'm honestly not huge on seafood, so I enjoyed these a lot more than I thought I would. Ironically, I'm not big on oysters either, so I ordered the Jumbo Golden Fried Shrimp which hit the spot real good. Large shrimp, well fried, flavored, and the tartar sauce was addicting. The fries that came with it were perfectly seasoned, carrying a bit more of a cajun flavor rather than just regularly salted. My parents definitely enjoy oysters, so they ordered the Charbroiled Oysters and really enjoyed it, as well as the Uni Oyster with Quail Egg. They also got the Cowboy Lobster Shrimp Roll that was gone before I even took a second look their way. We finished the meal with a yummy, dense basque cheesecake! Every customer that came in during our time there was personally greeted by Michael, and it seemed like they were all repeat customers. It was really cool to see that kind of connection, and it really showed how much Michael cares about his customers, and how much we like his food! Indoor seating is a bit limited - all bar stool seating. I rarely comment on the music that a restaurant plays, but I quite liked it! Made me feel like I was on the bay enjoying some fresh seafood at sunset. Heard they'll be opening up their newest location at POST soon!

Now don't get me wrong it's a step above other AYCE Korean BBQ spots but it was definitely not 5 stars. The reason why I gave it a 4 is because our server Aydana was very kind and accommodating. She made sure we got everything we needed & even cooked our food. We came around 5pm for dinner & it was not busy at all for a Friday. The decor is modern and minimalist & spacious all around. We decided to get the Prime beef combo large priced at $147, this will feed 3-4 people. It also comes with one soup. All the meats were tendered especially the prime boneless short ribs, it was buttery & melt in your mouth. Also, it had some nice marbling. The beef brisket was just okay and I could've gotten the same quality at Handam. The bulgogi was marinated to perfection but it was a little sweet for my liking. The soup I ordered was the sundubu jjigae. The combination of seafood, veggies & tofu went well together. I'll order it again. The sauces that were provided were solid. My favorite was the chimichurri. Now what was lacking were their banchan's. None of it caught my attention. The sausage that was drenched in some weird sauce tasted pretty odd and bad. It was like hotdogs with some bbq sauce. I Just want to add that the white rice was soft and fluffy. At the end they gave us complimentary drink. It was refreshing. Overall I'll give the food a 3, but the service is what gave it a 4. Our server was even nice enough to pack our leftovers. Definitely enough for a next day meal. My friend forgot to take his food home & she ran out of the restaurant to hand him his food. That right there is above and beyond service. Since we ordered a large combo they also gave me a hello kitty mug to take home, that was cute lol. Now what struck a red flag was an alert I saw on their Yelp page. Pretty much saying that they were bribing customers with free stuff in exchange for a 5 star review. My advice is don't do that. It doesn't make you guys look good. Will I come back? I definitely would but only if I feel like splurging myself.

I visited this restaurant since someone in my group wanted crab noodle soup. The funny thing is he…read moredidn't even end up ordering that dish though as he got temped by another entree. Their menu consists of apps (mostly fried), soups and salads, lobster dishes, steaks, vietnamese seafood dishes, shellfish entrees (clams, scallops, etc), an oyster section, stir fry dishes, rice creations, and fried seafood dishes. They serve beer and wine but have some Asian wine-based cocktails. This is truly a fusion restaurant since they have Vietnamese, American, Chinese, Thai, and Peruvian influences on their menu. They have boiled seafood, of course, including crawfish during the season. On every table is also a $12.95 lunch menu with soups, sandwiches and seafood dishes. This may be one of the better deals out there. We tried a few dishes: drunken lobster, surf and turf, crab fried rice, drunken tofu, and shrimp with salted egg. Two additional people in our group came a little later and actually ordered the lunch special (pork chop plate) and chicken wings. Their napkins are a little strange as they're tri-fold style like you would normally see in a restroom. The dishes were pretty good, but I ended up eating mostly noodles since their garlic noodles are pretty addicting. The sirloin that came on the steak dish was supposedly a little tough but that is typical of a basic sirloin steak. I didn't actually get to sample it since other people grabbed it before I could. They only had L and XL size lobster the day we came...so they said their prices were around $90 and $108...I think we selected the $90 size. The drunken lobster dish can be shared between 2 people as it's a big platter but just 1 cut up lobster. The garlic noodles beneath the lobster pieces on the drunken lobster are way better than the noodles beneath the shrimp and steak on the surf and turf since they are stir-fried with lots of onions, jalapeños and what seemed to be small ground pork/beef chunks.

Alright so this place was a huge disappointment. Let's start with the food…read more Truffle Fries (1/5) - oily, very little truffle taste Eggrolls (4/5) - actually not too bad Passion Dragonfruit Lemonade (5/5) - very good, tasty & refreshing Queens Scallops (0/5) - lol these were sooo bad, like the taste of the scallops, if there was even any, left the building before it was served to us. I think they may have been fake scallops. Godly Fried Rice (1/5) - nothing godly about it, very little seasoning and chewy beef. I had to pour the sauce from the egg rolls onto this just to get a little taste in it. The service was young kids who didnt seem to care much about their customers. Maybe its management or just a vibe I dont know, but we had to go back once or twice to them for putting down our order cause they left our table too early when we were still ordering. And to top it all off, a baby cockroach was on the wall just staring at us. Do not go here unless you are getting a lobster dish as I would hope that a place called drunken lobster can at least get that right.
