    Decided to try the food here instead of just sticking to our favorite seafood boil place and sorry to say ain't no way I'll ever go back the sauce was nothing compared to our favorite place the service was extremely slow the ambiance was pleasant I asked for a green shot was told they don't have that sent me a watermelon flavored shot that was pure syrup! The ambiance was pleasant but that's it

    I am visiting from LA. We Went on a lunch date with my mom and had 2 for 1 drinks during their happy hour. Our server Kiwi was super helpful and very knowledgeable when questioned about the menu. Food quality was pretty Spot on ! Just what we were craving We rate our experience a 5/5

    Took forever to get served; food was okay but why would you cook in a plastic bag knowing all the health troubles of heating up plastic? Not only does this look unclassy it's terrible for your health. At least the tails covered in a shell but I did not eat the corn.

    Decided to try this location for lunch. I don't under why they charge a 18%gratuity for a part of six (3kids & 3adults). I don't think the serve was worth 23 dollars. I ordered the friend shrimp basket and half pound crab legs. The shrimps are the reason for the three stars, they were really tasty. The crabs wasn't worth it; only one cluster and two potatoes. Other location gave two cluster, potatoes, and corn. Don't think I'll return to the location.

    Just do take out they prioritise those orders over dine in guests. Service was horrible Arrived at 8pm on a sunday. Roughly 11 tables sat , about 7 with food and 4 without. 3 servers on the floor. The host was serving dining room tables, bartending, managing & helping with to go orders. Sat for 20 minutes, My supposed server of the section a male, walked past me 5 times before i got up & asked the host to seat me with someone else. He offered to help me at the bar. Took me another 10-15 mins just to get a drink. Was served hot water in a glass (no handle) . I then ordered. Requested a substitution of potatoes with eggs instead, he was adamant that he couldnt switch it out but he could charge me extra for it. Considering that ive been in your establishment for almost 45 minutes without even a glass of water i think you couldve spared me the 1 little egg. Refusing to argue i continued with my order which came out in pretty good timing. Wings were good but definitely not lemon pepper just plain wings. from the chinese store. Rice was wet, sticky & undercooked. While eating i saw my supposed server from the other section take a seat at the bar conversing with another server. All that time you have on your hands you couldnt have possibly been too busy to serve a table of 1 individual. Be sure to check your bill i was over charged as they had incorrect prices in their computer system. Wasnt asked once throughout the meal if everything was good. My dirty plates remained with me for the entirety of my visit. Even after my payment was processed. Id drive all the way to the lauderdale location before giving them a second chance. Get better help its desperately needed.

    Snow Crab & Headless Shrimp - The Boom ( mixed all). If you like spice then ask for the atomic seasoning .

    This place just opened in Miami Gardens area. Although the seats still had dust on them. This place gets pack after 5pm so plan accordingly. So your not waiting for a table. Also there is no alcohol at this location. ( remember this spot is new.) The food was great. Started off with the Apps - crab fries. I was excited because I thought it would be like Darius cooks version but it's not . It's just regular fries with a little crab on top and a lot of mayo based sauce. If you don't follow Darius cooks then you be disappointed . So the boil was okay could've been packed with more flavor . Needed more spicy flavor in my opinion but I like spicy seafood. And if your not from the south then the hard boil egg inside might be a surprise. Ask for extra corn cause two was not enough. Overall I will be back !! Try it out

    I usually have a craving for a clam boil once a week lol. This Crafty Crab is my usual spot it's close to my house. I always get the half pound of clams in the boom sauce medium with all corn. Also add an egg because what's a seafood boil without eggs. I always place my order online due to a wait half the time. I was acknowledged as soon as I walked through the door and my food was ready. The restaurant is always clean and packed. I do get a good amount of clams even for a half a pound. Only downfall I wish they add more sauce in the bag, it was kinda dry.

    Fried Shrimp Basket

    Great place for your seafood fix. Visited this spot for the first time and it was surprisingly great, but the time to take our order and when Our food came out is the reason for 4/5 stars. The wait was too long for it being 2pm and the place was 15% full. On to the food, we order the fried shrimp, catfish, wings and boiled headless shrimp, oh and 2 cocktails. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. The fried food was perfect! The boil shrimp were on the small side and a little expensive, but we can now check it off our list. The cocktails were tropical and well spirited. Can't wait to return!

    Our table that sat empty for 45 mins without even water!!!

The shrimp, mac and cheese was bussing. The rice was nice, however their rice is called Cajun Rice, but to me it was regular yellow rices. The rice was a let down. Nonetheless, the food was delicious and I plan to go back. Next time I will ask what's the definition of Cajun rice before I get my hopes up too high

    My true score is 3.5…read more The location that I have been too has been Small with limited space to sit down. I normally order for pick or for delivery. I like to get the yellow rice, mac n cheese and the jiving wings. I do think that the rice can use a stronger flavor profile but the mac n cheese and wings make up for it. The sauce is really good, so I try to get extra sauce on the side. I also like the grits and fish and/or the grits with shrimp. I prefer the grits with fish. It's deep fried and very flavorful. I like the grits that they use and they season it very well. The food is consistently cooked well. There is always really good breading on the wings and the fish. I normally pay the upcharge to get all drums (Yes, I'm doing you guys a favor by leaving all the wings). The times that I have gone in the store, service has been good, I do feel that it's on the slower side but the food is cooked to order and comes out hot. Even when I order for delivery, there are times when it is still relatively warm, you know when you get something delivered it goes all around the world before you get it. Overall, this location serves consistently good food. The jiving sauce is always a hit for me. Now I would ask for less sauce or sauce on the side if you are not into sweet sauces.

As odd as it is to go during the day and have brunch, I would say it is the move. You pull into a plaza where everything else is closed except for this business and say hi to the security guard stationed at the entrance of the place---at 11 AM---to walk into a lounge beautifully decorated with green walls, floral accents and a disco ball. It is clear that the majority of patrons come much later in the day, like after 9 PM, to get bottle service listening to a DJ or any other performer. This would explain why the air conditioning was cranked so high, to accommodate the bodies and electricity that would pack the place much later. Our server didn't crack a smile but immediately brought us water after we asked and rounded back twice to take our order. Like I said, going during the day when there are only about 5 other parties dining seems to be the move for prompt service and food preparation. The dishes came out super hot and fresh. The Creole Seafood Omelette ($26) was chock full of well seasoned shrimp and lobster and cheese, with a creamy roux on the side that was good to occasionally dip a bite into but wasn't necessary all the time. The potatoes that came on the side were just the right amount of crispy while leaving some heartiness to them. The Fried Chicken and Waffles ($26) included flavorful fried chicken with breading that didn't quit when you tore it or cut into it. The cool part of this dish is the choice you have of the waffle it comes with. The Cookies and Cream Waffles should be your go-to. They were topped with the chocolate cookie sandwich crumbles and a great homemade vanilla icing. For a Lauderhill establishment in an area where you really don't know of anything else happening, this place is worth a venture out for your brunch. I'd go back to try the other items and drinks!
