Whoever put a bad review for this place is absolutely BUGGING! This is some of the best seafood boil I've had in Florida. The food is very fresh, and well portioned. Exquisite flavors, and the food didn't take too long to prepare. Overall a great plac, experience, and perfect for big parties or celebration. Recommend 100% !!! read more

The food was very good and serving size was good. Service was great our server was Jeriah she took very good care of us. We will most definitely be back. read more

This was honestly the worst dining experience I think I've ever had. Went here on a weekend, it took 40 minutes for a waiter to show up to the table. After I had to tell the hostess that no waiter came he still took a very long time. The food was good but took a long time to come out. The drink tasted like they needed to change the syrup for the soda machine in the back it was like carbonated water. And finally the waiter accidentally charged what was supposed to be around a $70 bill almost $300! And then offered nothing to fix it after all the mistakes no discount just a whoops and gave us our correct receipt that we also had to pay for all for a small seafood plate. Then we later see him as we are exiting the restaurant entertaining a group or girls outside. I will never return unless I find they did suspicious activity with my card then I will be there for sure to ensure this carless man " Jean " pays us back. read more

This was my first time at this spot. The wait was a good 30 minutes however it flew by since the bartender at the bar was able to whip up a mean strawberry daiquiri which was delicious and a good amount of alcohol. When seated our server was attentive which could be difficult at a spot like that. I have no complaints about the broil except they could add more corn to the mix and there were a lot of empty mussels and clams shells in our boil. Nonetheless I was full and happy being a seafood lover. I can't wait to revisit and explore a bit more. read more

This restaurant has good seafood, fresh, big portion and a very good service. Their tables keep social distancing very necessary in this time. read more

I came here the other night with my sister. We initially thought this was Joe's Crab Shack trying to be sneaky and reopen under another name (the building was a Joe's Crab Shack before this location opened ) but that is not the case there are two other locations as well. Atmosphere is still Joe's Crab Shack minus the dust and ropes hanging from the ceiling. Staff: nice folks, our waitress was sweet and prompt, we had someone arrive to our group super late and she got her food hot and delicious as well. Drinks: I ordered wine, which had to be brought back, the glass wasn't clean but was immediately remedied. I didn't make a fuss about this because this place was pretty packed and it didn't look like they were heavily staffed. Food: DELICIOUS. We both ordered the shrimp boil head on with mild crafty Cajun mixed with buttery garlic sauce. It comes with a couple potatoes and a piece of corn but you can add other things like sausage and eggs etc. we also had the calamari, the breading is seasoned and crunchy and it was not overdone. I recommended it to coworkers for the food. One went with his wife and said it was really good. I will be going back this upcoming week hoping to have the same experience, I'll add to the review after that visit also! read more

I usually don't make reviews but since they took the time to play inside my food bag I'm take time to speak on it. The problem isn't the food it's pretty good it's the people working inside doing service this is the age of covid and if u feel the bag being made was mistakenly done so don't take my bag to the back and reach inside of it and take stuff out. U need to remake the bag completely I don't know u people working there and it's never ok to be finger fucking my food. From a humble customer who won't be eating here again read more

This place is worth the drive and wait time. The restaurant gives a great vibe and the food is well seasoned and flavorful! My first time going and won't be my last! I definitely recommend it! read more

I am late with my review. However, my husband and I went to Crafty crab on Jan 14th and the food was delicious. It was so great and even though it was a wait time the service from the waitress and other waiters were great. The crabs along just did something to me. So juicy and scrumptious my husband stated we have to come here all the time. So that is what I will do. read more

Excellent food , good service and prices are dream come true for New Yorkers ! Will come back read more

Had dinner tonite at the Boynton Beach location.. First time at a Crafty Crab. Excellent food and great service. Dinner for 5 adults, all shellfish fanatics, cooked to perfection. Served in boil bags; we chose snow crab legs, headless shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn on the cob steamed together in their special sauce. To die for! No alcohol tonite, our choice. Total with tip just under $200. My only suggestion would be that they do a better job at keeping the bathrooms clean, tidy and in order. The restaurant dining room and floor were clean, and the tables had crisp, clean craft paper. Booth seats were also wiped clean and well maintained. Will most certainly be back! read more

I went to this animal adoption center, and got myself a hamster. I have always wanted to own a hamster as a pet, and I can finally be one. But the problem is that I don't know what it feeds on, what it needs to be health, and what it likes. So if anyone can help me train a hamster I'll be glad. read more

Geraldine was amazing !!! She was attentive and kind. She made sure my family were happy and satisfied the entire emceeing . Would definitely go back if she can be my waitress again!!! read more

Picked up to-go dinner here a couple weeks ago. A little out of the way, but it was well worth it. I have not dined-in, so I can't comment on that experience, but the food we picked up was great. Breaded tilapia, shrimp, potatoes and two large portions of crab legs. Everything was delicious, cheap and the seasoning was awesome- nothing too crazy, but had a little satisfying kick to it all. Would recommend. read more

Poor service. Long waiting time. Don't remember what we ordered. Waitress move really slow.

Honestly their cajun boiled seafood is very low quality. The clam is the Chinese buffet size clam. And the shrimp is very small, 1 lb shrimp comes with 16 pieces, I am quite sure it's not enough for 1 Lb, The sauce is too salty for me. Service is good, that's why I gave 2 stars, food only 1 star. The gumbo tasted wired. read more

I've been living in Sunrise for about 10 years and probably want to Joe's Crab Shack twice. So when I heard that it was being replaced by a Crafty Crab, I was greatly intrigued. My mom requested that we go. Upon entry, we put our name on the list and had about 25 minute wait. Once we were unmediated greeted. And blah blah blah, the service was great. Now on to the juicy details, or should I say Crafty eh? I ordered the combo seafood and 1/2 lb of clams. My seasoning selection was BOOM which is a mixture of their individual seasonings. Snow Crabs - One Cluster ...about right for a 1/2lb Shrimps- A little undercooked in my opinion Clams- definitely my favorite , the seasoning soaked them up . Overall, great and will go back to try different items. Xoxo Tempting Taste read more

My favorite place to come and eat some real seafood!! I love this place. Every time I come in town I have to come here and indulge in the sweetness I miss about being home in the south. Th prices are reasonable and the sauce.... the sauce... the best I've had with seafood. I usually order the 1/2 pins of crawfish and shrimp with heads on. It comes with potatoes and an ear of corn. You can mix the flavors and match your pairs to your liking. The serving size does not fail.. always something to take home.. if it makes it there lol. read more

I really have to tell you how much I hate a restaurant that uses paper plates plastic silverware and doesn't have the right utensils so that you can eat the crab service is slow asked for very little ice in my ice tea in a cane mostly ice with a little bit of tea the food was fair to medium I won't go back and it's overpricedFor what you get read more

This place is AMAZING! The food is awesome! I've been here twice, August and May. My favorite thing to get is the seafood boil crab legs and shrimp with a boil egg read more

Crafty Crab - Seafood boil snowcrab and headless shrimp with boiled egg (extra) - Seafood Near Me - Lauderhill, Florida

Absolutely love it here. I love the decor. They even some how managed to put an SUV inside. We were actually on the way to go somewhere else and we were deciding if we wanted seafood or something else we chose something else but on the way we saw this place on the right side. So we googled it and we liked what we saw so we decided to stop there as it has just opened for the day. We were seated promptly. Nate our server was very polite and attended to our needs and answered all of our questions about the menu. This was our first time here and he had a lot of patience with us and always came to check if we were doing fine. Everything we ordered was delicious. And we used the boom seasoning on our meal which was very tasty great environment and service. Didn't expect it to be like that, we were wowed!! read more

Crafty Crab - Seafood Near Me - Lauderhill, Florida

Food and service was great. I always get the large platter with the bam (all the sauces together) mild and I thoroughly enjoy it. Bob and gloves are provided along with paper towel roll and trash can on table for shells. Location is nice and clean. As far as covid half the tables are designated closed. The employees are all wearing masks, but anyone who is not a waiter is wearing their masks incorrectly under there nose. Definitely recommend other wise. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to check this place out after missing Joe's. We didn't know what to expect. They completely changed the place and it looks like they went for an open space atmosphere. The service was kinda slow from the start but finished out better. When we first arrived we felt like we were walking into the middle of a meeting and we had to wait till the servers and hostess finished talking. Once they finished their meeting we were taken to our table and wasn't greeted by our server. The manger came over to the table and asked if our drink order had been taken and then sent another waitress over we we replied no. The prices are more than Joe's and a bit pricey. I ordered the half pound snow crab leg and half pound shrimp with garlic butter. The food arrived about 30 minutes later in a plastic bag. My half pound of snow crabs equated to 1 cluster...definitely didn't satisfy my craving. I think next time I'll buy my own and cook them at home. All in all the food has great flavors and comes out hot! My boyfriend enjoyed his Cajun seasoned boil. I gave 3 stars for flavoring of the food and 1 star for the awesome waitress that ended up waiting on us. read more

I would recommend to go during the week and definitely no later then 6pm. read more

Half is my crayfish is JUST the head!!! I feel ripped off.... do better crafty crab. I'm basically getting charge for empty crawfish

Good food good seasonings for the boils , only thing is the lobster special... the lobster itself is a little tough for my liking

I ordered two pounds snow crabs $60.00 the crabs were awful as if they were cooked in pure salt to the point it was unbearable to eat. I had to trash them after calling 42 times I'm guessing because they were so busy. I am a regular here I come at least once a week until this issue, I finally got them on the phone 3pm the next day for the manager to ask if I took a picture of the food I'm guessing so she can see how salty hey were ‍, when I let her know I trashed them she said she would need a picture to refund me or give me more crabs. Then she said if I can find the receipt in which I thought I trashed too but I found it now she says she can give me 10% off a next order they will not be a next order I am livid at this point. Theirs no social distancing the place was jam packed 3/20/2021 read more

The food was really good, but the service was absolutely HORRIBLE. I doubt we will ever come back to this location.

Angie was the most inattentive server ever we literally had to GET UP AND GO FIND AN EMPLOYEE TO HELP us. Had our food out before our drinks after 30 minutes. Staff was all playing arcade games while we had to get up to go ask someone for napkins and order. read more

I have been here numerous times and always come back for the food, but today will be my last time at this location. So we had to wait 35 minutes when we were told it's a 15 minute wait. Okay that's fine. Order our food and waited 45 minutes for a small platter and shrimp basket to come out. When we get the shrimp basket everything is cold, so I kindly ask them to remake it. Remind you once again we had to wait 45 minutes for our food to come out. Why did they bring the shrimp basket back to me less then 3 minutes, which let me know they just refried the basket I gave them. So I asked for the manager who had an attitude once I explained the issue. Now let's talk about the service. Order our food and drinks. Brings out the drinks with no straw so we asked for some. Had to ask three times over a 15 minute span before we got them. The waiter was not attentive to our table but sat down with the table behind us and talked to them over 10 minutes while we still didn't have no straws. Asked for Plates which we never received. By that time i was over this place, the staff, the food and service! read more

Used to love eating the food until I realized all the chickens is seasoned and kept in a Bus Tub (black bucket used to clean the table) in the kitchen UNCOVERED ALL DAY would love to post pictures but I'd probably get sued... They don't use gloves & whenever the food gets sent back from a guest they'll try to sell it again amidst the pandemic. P.S Tip your servers in cash because management keeps part of the tip. read more
