    King Crab Special
    Kiana G.

    I don't ever usually order King Crab Legs but I figured I'd give it a try since I seen they had a "special". I legit received 1 leg and for 43.99 that's very expensive for just 1 leg. I was expecting at least 3. And the website did not specify how much you would be getting so that's a little misleading to me. I also ordered the crab combo special, it was decent. For both specials we did the house blend and spicy. It was seasoned well but the portioning was disappointing.

    I sat a the bar for a quick bite to eat, the music playing was good. I swore I wouldn't come back after I haven't seen the previous bartender. Today, was not bad the drinks were good as well as the food.

    Receipt !

    Update they had roaches and still blamed me! Mind you I already got my money back! But they literally admitted their establishment had roaches but somehow this particular roach did not come from them? who ever runs this place is a joke!

    Food was good considering it was an hour before closing. Snow crab 10/10. Wings 10/10 even though they forgot my honey. Shrimp 7/10. Sweet potato fries 5/10 better with BBQ sauce . The DJ played until the very last minute of closing which I enjoyed.

    I been to this restaurant before but, this is my 1st review. I was here for Line Dance class to meet up with a few friends. I was sitting at the bar and waited to be serviced as it was 1 maybe 2 bartenders that were working. I was finally able to place my order. The food for some reason took so long to come out. The other bartender was cleaning up around the bar area and attempted to throw a glass bottle into the trash however, it hit the rim of trash can and glass was flying everywhere. Luckily, it did not hit us at the bar but, that was totally unacceptable. Everyone at the bar area shouted that almost hit us with disbelief. I exited the restaurant shortly after.

    I came here last year and had my first seafood boil! The shrimp, potatoes and corn were absolutely fantastic. Wow!! The sauce was so delicious, I could not stop wanting to smack my fingers. I came here in the middle of the day and the person I was with ordered crabs that we shared but they were really small. Our waitress was well meaning, but she forgot our bibs, gloves and bucket. Overall, it was alright. If I were to go again, I would focus on just the shrimp and other ingredients and not get their crabs.

    You can see the moisture on the top, the soggy onion rings, and no parchment paper or anything to protect the food.

    I've been going to this Crafty Crab since it opened. I've never had a complaint. Tonight I ordered two Shrimp boxes, one with Fries, the other with Onion Rings. My treat. A Girlfriend picked it up. She started eating her food in the car bcuz she had to bring mine to me. She said my fries were soggy, and the shrimp were just okay. Instantly, I got upset bcuz I treated you, and now you're talking about the food? I felt that way until I got mine. Once she dropped it off, I looked at the plastic container with no ventilation, my food was damp from the condensation, Onion Rings soggy, and the shrimp that were normally crispy were slighted, not as crispy as they usually are. Normally, I get my food in a card board box, with holes and parchment paper to absorb some of the grease. I called to speak to a Manager and told her of my concern, and she asked me to bring the food back up there. I asked if she was serious. It was raining "cats and dogs" which was why I treated my friend and had her pick it up. I was speaking to a " "Charney" who told me that they had recently switched to the plastic boxes and there was ventilation holes. There is not and you will see in the picture as you can also see the moisture on the inside of the box. This Crafty Crab is manned by a bunch of youngsters who know nothing about customer service. With NOT JUST CRAB being up the street, and manned by a younger staff, they are way more PROFESSIONAL. Because of Charney's lack of professionalism, I've always chosen Crafty Crab over Not Just Crab. Not anymore. I will now go to Not just Crabs or Wings and Things further up the road. I hope it was worth it. I was so upset, I wrote a review and posted pictures. They got their last order from Me.

    I will never be back to this place I guess the first time was a fluke and I should have listened to the reviews. I asked for sausage in my boil instead of broccoli. When I told the waitress she came back and suggested I pick the broccoli out so she could take it back to the kitchen. EXCUSE ME WHAT? I just sent the whole thing back and told them to take it off the bill. Cause what were they gonna do with the broccoli? Serve it to someone else? Lemon drop made with tequila. Slow service. Never again.

    Totally delish Snow Crab and Headless Shrimp
    Ryen E.

    We decided to get take out from here today. It's always fun to try a new crab boil bag. Totally impressed with Crafty Crab. The location is easy to find. Pickup service friendly. Menu is easy to read and order. The half pound headless shrimp and half pound snow crab legs combo was delish. Select whatever seasoning you want. I usually add a side of potatoes to the bag. What a special treat to enjoy!

    I attended a day party here for the first time on yesterday. Thought I was gonna have party of six. I ended up having party of four. We were seated within fifteen minutes. Forgive me for not remembering the waitress name because she was very polite. I ordered the shrimp basket which was seasoned well. I remember having drink that came in a bowl. It was delicious. I ordered a zoombie drink but that was a little too sour for me. So long island for the win. The dj was playing some good music. I can't wait to return on another Sunday.

My go-to order is the catfish with sweet potato fries and corn on the cob, and it's always seasoned perfectly. The fish portions are generous, everything tastes fresh, and the flavors never disappoint. One thing I really appreciate is how well everything is packaged for takeout. My food stays hot, travels well, and is just as enjoyable at home as it would be in the restaurant. The ambiance is also great if you decide to dine in--it's a welcoming spot with a fun atmosphere--but honestly, grabbing it to go and enjoying it at home is hard to beat. If you're looking for flavorful Cajun seafood that's consistent, well-seasoned, and worth coming back for, Not Just Crab is an easy recommendation.

The catfish was delicious and the wings were pretty solid! Our waiter Alice was awesome, very attentive and helpful during our visit. The restaurant is very spacious! Huge bar area and lots of seating for large parties. I wasn't a huge fan of the boom sauce in the boils, it didn't have a lot of flavor to me for it to be all the seasonings mixed together. I would however try another sauce by itself to see how I feel about it like lemon pepper or garlic butter. I also wasn't a big fan of the cocktail I tried. I had a sangria and it was so sweet It tasted more like a daiquiri. However I would still go back for a second visit! I was content with my first visit and they have awesome happy hours, karaoke and DJ's twice a week that is worth checking out.

I substitute the scallops with shrimp. i received a large bowl of fried rice, crab meat that was almost non-existent (maybe a teaspoonful), and maybe two-three chopped shrimp. So, mostly I just had fried rice. The price was $17.99. Meanwhile, my husband ordered a fried shrimp basket. He received eight medium/large fried shrimp and two pieces of corn. His ordered was $14.00. I am very disappointed with what I received and will not order this again.

    Visited Yardkoo for the first time last week with no real expectations since there are so many…read moreseafood boil restaurants now but I must say I was impressed. The quality of the seafood for the price point was great! The restaurant is pretty small but they have a nice flow to service and seemed to manage it well. We didn't have a long wait when we arrived and the food came out quick but the small waiting area was packed by the time we were leaving so I would suggest trying it earlier rather than later. Now let's get into the food. We started with the Banging Salmon Bites and they were very delicious. Seasoned to perfection. I'm not the biggest fan of bang bang sauce and I was expecting the bites to come tossed in sauce but it was drizzled on top which I actually appreciated so I could control the amount of sauce on my bite. Next time I will ask for it on the side but I did really like it. The salmon was juicy and flavorful. For my entree I did the build your own combo with a pound of snow crab legs and 1/2 pound of headless shrimp. The combo comes with 1 corn and two potatoes and I added additional corn which was two more pieces. I had the yard mix sauce which is a combination of all of the sauces together and it was delicious. Not overly salty but actually flavorful. I did medium spice level I think next time I'll try the hot. The medium was not spicy enough for me. The seafood comes out on a hot sizzling plate which is a nice touch and actually helps keep the seafood warm longer. The drinks were also a really good price and pretty strong. Overall I really enjoyed the food will def be back to try some more menu options and maybe happy hour. Only deducted one star because our server was lacking a bit but not terrible. He just seemed to need some more training but he may have just been new.

We ordered the shrimp and grits, oysters rockefeller, shrimp sandwich, french toast, crab cake benny, a coffee cocktail, and regular coffee. Overall, everything was just okay, not terrible, but not something I'd rush back for either. The biggest letdown was the shrimp and grits. It came with what looked like a spoonful of grits, which was disappointing. We mentioned it to our waitress, and she brought us some extra grits to go, which I appreciated. The crab cake benny was decent, but the crab cake itself didn't have much flavor. The $12 coffee mocktail also wasn't worth the price in my opinion. We ended up ordering the beignets for dessert, but had to send them back because they were raw in the middle. The service was okay but it could definitely be better. I will say they tried to fix the issues we brought up, which I appreciated. I've been to the O'Donnell Street location a few times, and honestly, I've had much better food and drinks there. If you're in the area and have been wanting to try this location, I'd still say give it a shot because everyone has different experiences. It just didn't wow me this time.
