Crafty Crab Seafood I will NEVER go back to this restaurant again. Our waiter, Jamie, asked my daughter if she needed a refill and then my daughter watched her take another customer's drink, pour it into my daughter's cup, and hand it to her like nothing happened. That is beyond unsanitary and honestly disturbing. I also had to send my Shirley Temple back because it just didn't taste right, which now makes a lot more sense given what we witnessed. The food itself was fine, but that doesn't matter when the drink service is this unsafe. If you do decide to visit, watch your drinks closely and hope your food comes straight from the kitchen without being tampered with. Extremely disappointed and honestly a little shaken by this experience. Do better. read more

The food here was good, however we were very disappointed with the service. Not only was it very slow and the waitress forgot part of our meal, but the worst part was that my niece noticed that she received somebody else's drink in her cup, and that was clearly disappointing at the end of the night. read more

Was looking for a good boil to enjoy with friends and a friend of mine found this on Tik Tok. Really loved the all flavors mixed together known as the "boom boom" for egg-cellant boil entree. With that, our service was quick and to the point and would recommend to anyone coming in. Overall, the energy was fast paced and the music very catchy. read more

My family had a large party and a long wait, but it was July 4th weekend and we were still able to get seated before last call. It's great that they stay open later (until 11pm) on Fridays and Saturdays when a lot of other places in town are already closed! Inside had plenty of tables and TVs. Our server was also very accommodating when we had additional people arrive and extra orders. We enjoyed some good seafood boil and fried seafood too. We got the Boom sauce with everything, which I'd recommend. read more

It was delish very much enjoyed my crab boil !! Service was a little slow at the start but got better as the dining went on.

Me and my bestie went last night! We both got snow crab leg boil and here is our input. The sauce was 10/10 Portion size was 2/10 ( the legs itself had very little meat, and the portion size on the menu is deceiving. ) Atmosphere was 10/10 Service was 8/10 (took over 10 minutes to get to us) The overall flavor of food was 10/10 Overall I would highly recommend this place! Our server was nice after she came over. The food flavor was absolutely fantastic. The sweet tea was good, and everything was cooked to perfection. I was too hungry to take a picture! Thank you guys for having us and we will be back! read more

I've been coming here for 2 years and have never complained. I get the same seafood boil no variations always great, well until today. My partner and I went for lunch, her food was lukewarm when it came out so we asked for it to be remade.. after that 2 different people came out stating they were managers and stated that due to the complaint we would not be able to dine in moving forward we could only do take out orders. No one could tell us the reason why that was. No one was speaking aggressively to the staff nor was there any threatening about us or what was said. This is ridiculous! read more

Expensive and over cooked crab legs meat just fell apart and hard to get out of shells. Also the fried fish could not be eaten as the oil was old and tasted burnt. Won't go back. read more

I go here every other month at least and it's always been hit or miss. Sometimes the service is fast, sometimes you wait 30 minutes before being acknowledged by your waitress. Sometimes the boil is delicious and other times it's way over cooked. Really fun interior with cool decor. read more

Food was great- got the large seafood boil plate between five people as well as the hot honey cheese appetizer. Everything tasted excellent. Spice level was also great- would be a little careful if you have a weak spice tolerance though. read more

I had a seafood boil with snow crab and shrimp and blue crab I wouldn't recommend the blue crab it's not that good to me but everything else was cooked perfectly!! 10/10 was amazing and the service was great! read more

The order was for two fried shrimp baskets, one half order of scallops in garlic butter - mild, crab rangoons and one half order of fried crab claws. The scallops came out first. Cooked in Cajun seasoning. I ate one hoping it wouldn't be too spicy. It was. Sent back, where I have zero doubt that they were rinsed off, covered in garlic butter and sent back out. They were barely room temperature and still tasted of Cajun seasoning. The crab claws were a mixed lot, some fresh and plump but the majority were atrophied at best and tasting so rotten they were spit out. The shrimp were the only part of the meal that would not have sent Gordon Ramsey into an apoplectic fit. Upon paying the $80+ bill the manager had zero comment on our dissatisfaction, I asked if she was the manager and she confirmed it after I explained how I felt about the meal and the appended suggestions for corrective action. I suggested that the crab claws needed to be disposed of and that the kitchen help to be addressed as to how to handle a misordered app , a misprepared app or the order being served to the wrong table. I wasn't mean since I've worked in food service before, but it was apparent that she simply didn't care. I suppose in the end it's my fault since I did not question the message clearly printed on the menu..."no refunds". It's not like I had purchased a faulty television. Never again. Never. Yall been warned. read more

Service 10/10 & Food 10/10. Typically not a big seafood boil person, but this was just 10/10. Definitely coming back!

Crab and Shrimp were great. Service could not be nicer. We had ours with a medium spicy Cajun. Perfect!!!

It was ok I probably will go back there and order the steamed shrimps. Overall it was ok read more

Very good! I think the value for the money is well worth it here. Great local place far enough from the beach that locals can eat and not feel like they are overrun. Food is good, not 10/10 but 9/10. I think the quick service and location for PC locals makes up for it though! read more

ordered wings, and got them to go. I got home and they were the worst wings I have ever had. They are hard and dried out.

This place is amazing. Will never come to town without coming here. Service was great. Loved everything about it. Even the kids loved their food.. read more

The food was well seasoned and cooked well. The server was pleasant and attentive. It was a nice relaxed environment.

I'll start with the positive. Our server (don't remember her name) was top notch. She was smiling, attentive, and very friendly the entire time we were there. The gumbo was delicious, chunks of meat and vegetables. It was a little on the cool side , not piping hot, but I didn't mind because I was starving and could eat it right away. We were expecting one of those tiny cups of coleslaw but we received a nice sized portion in a small soup bowl. We really liked the slaw. The iced tea was fresh and delicious. This might sound small but we tend to get over brewed tea in many places so this was worth noting. The calamari was terrible. The rings were very thick and chewy, and had a fishy taste. I didn't care for that at all. I ordered the Choose 2 fried baskets with fish and chicken strips. The fish was very thin and crunchy due to the batter. It was hard to tell there was any fish at all. The chicken strips were small. For the price, the portions were very small. I wouldn't order this again. My husband opted for sides instead of ordering a meal. He got a side of small potatoes and corn. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and served in the creole sauce (?) in a bag, but the corn was over cooked and mushy. The price for the boils is quite high in my opinion. You can get seafood in this area for a much lower cost and better quality. I've eaten at many other places like this and there really isn't anything special about it. We are local to the area and prefer other establishments. I do hope they survive though, they just need to do better with their cooking and portion sizes. read more

We've eaten at many of these type seafood places. This one is the worst by far. There was two tables besides us but the service was terrible. The waitress didn't come around much. She must have had more important things to do. The food did come out fast. Too fast... I'm guessing the reason why is that it all sets and is picked like a buffet or something. I got crab legs, shrimp and sausage with the potatoes and corn. Everything was different temperatures. There is no possible way it was boiled. When it was brought out the bag looked huge from what you'd think was from the steam. I opened the bag. There was NO steam. I wouldn't go back to this dump if the food was free. As for ambiance, you'd think a Cajun themed restaurant would play music other than R&B. read more

You'd never guess from the looks of the outside of the establishment that it's nice on the inside, good food, and service. We didn't have much for choices on Christmas night (next to nothing open) and said this would do. I was ok with non traditional since doing that at home the last few days. I ordered entirely too much for myself, any one person. $31.99 for my platter but it had a little of everything. I have to say I wasn't expecting that all pieces would be fried and but should've guessed that. We have an event hungry 13 year old with us so I expect he'll finish the rest later. Service - good. Food - good. Wishing though I didn't get all fried food. Plenty options for dipping sauces. Inside of the establishment was good and clean. I'd eat there again if it's an option. read more

First time as I was visiting Florida and was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. All the personnel inside were friendly and welcoming; the restaurant was clean and well appointed. They specialize in seafood prepared different styles and ordered the gumbo and boiled headless (you have an option) shrimps. The gumbo was excellent that surprised me for a chain restaurant. The shrimp and all the other boiled items are actually cooked in a bag (like cooking Turkey) that comes to your table. Open the top and pour into the metal tray and enjoy! read more

Crafty crab never fails! The fried shrimp absolutely slaps. Never misses. I get it every time. Service was absolutely incredible. I truly can't recommend a seafood place MORE. My mom LOVES the crawfish. AND their eggs are phenomenal. Left a 30$ tip. If you're looking for a good meal, this is your stop. I promise!!! Truly amazing. read more

My 2nd time being at this restaurant and I was not disappointed. We were celebrating someone's birthday, a party of 7 and our waitress Nova was good and attentive as well.

first things first the hostess was extremely rude because I couldn't understand her accent. secondly there was so much pee on the bathroom floor that people were stepping in it and leaving pee tracks all around the restaurant. I informed the hostess and the big Asian girl working to go orders both of them just said "ok". on top of that they have no waiting area for people to sit while they wait to be seated and the hostess told us we couldn't stand inside and wait and that she would call when they had a table ready, she kept saying this to us so that we would leave. I walked around and there was plenty of tables empty just no one cleaning them. the hostess friends came in and she sat them immediatel. I will never be coming back and the health department needs to investigate this place. read more

Pretty good spicy shrimp. Good lunch specials. Service very friendly but a lil slow. Lots of parking. I'll be back

I'm all about seafood and was super excited about this place but was very disappointed. The lobster tail was over cooked and almost a rubbery texture, it was not worth the price nor the hype. You could tell the lobster, crab legs and shrimp were all frozen. Very disappointing. read more

We eat here quiet often and have noticed that when it's busy, the large seafood combo that we always order is fresh, and you can tell It was just cooked. Tonight The meal came very quickly, and you could tell by peeling the shrimp that they fell apart and smooshy. They were sitting for some time. The crab was soft and chewy. The entire meal had obviously been made sometime before we arrived and was not at all fresh? read more

Brought the Mrs here for an early Valentines dinner. Arrived at 4pm so there was no waiting. Fast friendly service. We both had fried oyster baskets and she and I also split a calamari appetizer and she had a house salad. Calamari appetizer was super tender and the portions were generous for the calamari and also the oysters. No complaints. read more
