Food is delicious! Service is top notch. Portions and price match. My only thing about the ambiance is that for a person like me with sucky vision it's so hard to see read more

AYCE seafood?! Count me in!! I love that there are so many options/types of seafood to choose from. The quality of most is just as good as if you ordered al la carte at another place too, such as the shrimp, clams, mussels. The snow crab and blue crab are decent too, but not as great quality. Their sauces that you get steamed inside the bag of seafood are similar to Chasin Tails and Hot n Juicy. Our server seemed a little flustered with the restaurant being so busy. We had to put in orders for raw oysters and sashimi several times with him before we actually received any. He seem slightly confused with the ordering system on the iPad. But I know he tried his hardest to make sure that we had everything we wanted. If you are a serious seafood lover and know that you can eat $39.95 worth of seafood in one sitting, I definitely recommend this place! read more

Came here recently and went all out. There was about six pounds of seafood. I got a pound of the Dungeness crab, blue crab, shrimp, green mussels, sea scallops, and king crab. When you get 5 pounds of seafood you can get a pound free. Everything I got was the hot spicy level which was pretty spicy. I also got a side of oysters, Cajun fries, calamari and fried catfish. I liked the sauce here it had a real spicy kick and was full of flavor compared to other places. The oysters were pretty good. Not too small and pretty meaty. The Cajun fries and the fried catfish were good too. The calamari was interesting. The texture and flavor didn't feel or taste like regular calamari that usually get. It was kind of softer than the calamari I usually get. Surprisingly, out of all the seafood I got I think the worst were the crabs. All the crabs I got including the Dungeness crab, king crab and blue crab were not that good. The thing that really stood out to me was that the meat of all the crabs was mushy for some reason. They didn't have that soft, delicate, sweet taste that crabs can have but the oddest thing was that they were kind of mushy. Some parts of the crabs like the claws and legs weren't but the main parts of them were. The scallops I thought were just okay. They were small scallops and they were alright. I thought the mussels were good. The shrimp was probably my favorite. It had a good texture and was very flavorful. Overall, I don't think I would come here for crabs which is disappointing. The other seafood options are good and the sauce was tasty. read more

I absolutely love the size of the crab legs I get here. SO BIG. The crab legs are longer than the ones you see in the grocery store. I usually order take out seafood boil. Their seasoning is amazing, when I order my seafood boil I like mine on the spicier side and they will fulfill their word on spice. From my perspective of just the food 5/5 for seasoning and spice. 4.5/5 for the texture of the seafood. I haven't had overly cooked seafood from here. The peel and eat shrimp I've ordered before had the perfect texture, it was not mushy or had a rubbery texture. The same goes for their crab legs. I am not a corn person but my boyfriend mentioned they were really good and the seasonings soaked into the corn. Considering how many he ate in a short amount of time I'd give it a 5/5. The potatoes were so good. Any left over potatoes, next day I dust a bit of corn starch on them and pop them into the air fryer SO flavorful. I definitely recommend craft crab for take out. Customer service is nice, easy transaction, 0 complaints, their employees are always kind. read more

All you can eat was good. Didn't like the fact they added tip to bill and charged us $133 for tip. There was I guess the manager he was very rude and kept looking over our table like we were going to jump up and run out on our bill. I will not be a returning customer. read more

This place is definitely worth it if you can eat your weight in seafood because their AYCE deal is fantastic. The AYCE menu includes a very large variety of seafood, as well as plenty of fried/cooked food and sashimi. For cooked foods, I really enjoyed the crab balls, fried oysters, and the sweet potato fries. For the seafood, my favorites were the snow crab, shrimp, and blue crab. The sauces were all pretty food, aside from the garlic butter which was a little too greasy for me. Overall, the AYCE here is a great value at only $40. This definitely isn't a place I'd eat at all the time but if you're in a mood for cajun seafood, this place is sure to satisfy. read more

Went in person to order, I waited for an hour thinking they were still preparing my order since I ordered their 'Crazy Crab Luxury Special Combo' tray. I watched people who came in after me, put in their order, wait about 20 or so minutes, and left with their order before me. I eventually went up after an hour to ask about my order, to which I was told "it's coming out soon". I told them I'd just take the refund if they haven't even started my order. They told me to wait 20 more minutes for it to be ready. I eventually got my order, after an hour and a half wait. The food was decent. We ordered the garlic butter - spicy sauce (with extra sauce on the side). Our tray came with snow crab legs, king crab legs, 2 lobster tails, shrimp, black mussels, corn, potatoes, and sausages. We loved the garlic butter sauce. We also ordered their fried chicken wings. The wings were a bit small and dry. The calamari was over fried. And the mozzarella sticks were cold and hard. We will be back for their seafood trays. But we'll most likely skip the rest. read more

Well worth the lunch time special to make a trip here. I drove about a hour to try! Our server was REZ, he was super helpful and attentive. Will definitely request him next time! We went around 1pm. They have a awesome lunch special. $22 for all you can eat. great choices on the menu too, I particularly enjoyed the shrimp, fries, corn in the cob, crawfish and mussels. I love the asian, cajun season style ( soo much garlic ..so yummy) . In total, I paid around 34 for the lunch special plus two bottle beers. I will be back! My only complaint is that the crabs tasted a little mushy (maybe over cooked) and the sausage slices are not good at all ( just pick over those) but everything else was perfect. read more

We did take out and the process was super smooth and the host/manager were super nice and accommodating. We found online coupons that couldn't be applied through the online orders so we called and were able to get 2 pounds for free (paid at the store). I recommend the crazy sauce with medium spicy (gonna try a more spicy level next time) with the headless shrimp and clams. The snow crabs and dungeonous crabs were disappointing so I'm definitely sticking with the shrimp and clams next time! Hopefully we will be able to dine in soon because I want to try their fried appetizers. read more

Crazy Crab - Take out - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Overall experience was pleasant and good. Would return. I went with my family on a Thursday night around 730pm. We had zero wait time but there was a good amount of customers in the restaurant. Tables were spaced pretty far apart (at least 6feet). Staff had masks on. We did the AYCA for 46.95. (Didn't get sashimi? It wasn't an option on the menu we were given and we forgot about it though it was on the site's menu). The seafood tasted good. Nothing tasted spoiled or sour or weird. I'll go through what we ordered and what I think you should get and what you should avoid. The reason for one star off was because we got the Crazy Special (mix of sauces) and the flavor was lacking as well as the sauce being salty. Also the seafood boil comes with corn, potatoes and sausage. I do not recommend getting the potatoes or sausage (waste of stomach space). The sausage also didn't taste like andouille sausage. It was a different peppery sausage? Wasn't a fan. Fried calamari- decent flavor, breading was good, probably shouldn't get fried food though, cocktail shrimp- nice size, served cold with cocktail sauce, I wouldn't get it. I'd just get the hot shrimp in the boil. Raw oysters- tasted good. We got 4 servings. Some were nice and plump and others were small and shriveled. Didn't have a weird fishy odor though it was missing that sea/Brine flavor. I would recommend this. Snow crabs- a must get. Nice and meaty claws. We got 3 portions per order. Stone crab- do not recommend. It took a lot of work to open and the meat yield is low/ not good. Crawfish- recommend. Nice and big meaty crawfish. Manila clams- recommend. Really nice tasting clams. Sea scallops- recommend. We got A LOT of scallops in one order and they were very thick and "meaty". Green mussels- recommend. These were also big pieces and tasted good. Black mussels- do not recommend. These pieces were smaller and not as tasty as the green. Our waitress was very nice. She came by often enough and we never ran out of food- though it was a bit of a wait before the first dish came out. Our sodas were also refilled and she was a huge delight. I do not know her name- but she was a very nice and attentive Asian waitress. Would def come back. read more

The calamari was overcooked, but only slightly & I doubt it's a regular occurrence. They were very busy, but our service was fine. The music was very loud, but it didn't bother me. Definitely give it a try! read more

If I could give you a zero today I would. Ai called Crafty Crab to tell them that my cat fish basket with sweet potato fries was not good. The fish was not crispy and my fries were greasy and not done. I explained to the individual on the phone that I order from them weekly and have never received a baby meal. I was advised that I brought my food through a third party so there was nothing they could do for me. I said door dash did not cook the food your cooks did did. She said oh well call door dash, Let me make this clear. You lost a loyal customer. Your restaurant cooked the food and you should stand behind your food. I am done with your restauran. read more

Love the food and price. For my first order from this place, it was amazing (all my orders were online) . I ordered it at October 7 and it was the cajun crab legs. They were so good that i ordered them again October 16 but something was wrong. The sauce was too salty and it made me kinda gaggy but i still ate it because it was good. I order recently again in December 9 and i got the seafood boil special butter garlic. I was hoping they fix it, but no it still was too salty. But still the food was good and i will still order from here, but once again please ask for less salt if your worried about that. read more

Fast service. Consistent food. Will go back. I don't do the all you can eat as I would not win. It's a lot of food!

Last Tuesday a group of eight of my friends and I had a surprise birthday dinner here for one of our girlfriends. This place is great if you have large parties and plan on drinking or staying for awhile. Luckily, it was a Tuesday night, so it wasn't too busy and we did make rsvp and the host was able to seat us immediately when we arrived although our entire party had not arrived yet. The service her was extremely friendly. Our waiter was older gentleman and he was so sweet! I completely forgot his name, but he had that endearing/warm 'grandpa' style of kindness. As for food - everyone in our group got the all your can eat for $39.95. Honestly, I wasn't too big a fan of their sauces, so I ended up ordering my food steamed and just dipping it into lemon juice. And their sausages had a rubbery texture ‍. However, I mostly came for the crab legs and minus the sauce, they were good! I'd recommend just ordering your seafood steam and asking for the sauce on the side so you can dip into it just in case you're not a fan either. All of their sides were good or at least the ones I tried. I definitely recommend ordering the fried calamari and sweet potato fries to combat the possibly buttery seafood you'll consume. Just don't carb load too much because you won't have enough room for the seafood. Overall, I give this place 4 stars. $39.95 for all you can eat crab legs - you can't beat that. Definitely recommend! read more

Crazy Crab - Menu - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

All you can eat snow crab is all you need to care! The food is fresh and tasty! Highly recommend the Cajun mild or spicy if you can take the heat! They brought two huge pan piled high with snow crab legs with sausage, corn and potatoes in that buttery goodness! We asked for extra sauce in a big tub so we can dip the crab meat and corn back in the buttery goodness! Bring a scissors to help you go through the snow crab legs quickly since the place gets busy and they will enforce the 2 hour limit. The wait staff is very friendly and visit your table often that you won't have to wait for next round. Great for family with kids that does not eat seafood since their wings and nuggets are pretty good to satisfy my picky teen age son. read more

Fun environment. Great for groups. AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE, SUPER FRIENDLY. However, the bathroom can be a bit brighter/cleaner. Convenient location. read more

Ordered crabs, shrimp and scallops. Food was ok, about what I would expect. However the Staff was exceptional.

Such. A. Great. Deal. Not many places in the area that offer AYCE seafood so when this place opened, it was a must try. For the amount of food and options you get, this is a steal. They also have a regular menu as well if you want to order off that but your entire table has to do buffet if you are to do buffet. My favorites were the green mussels (huge!), blue crabs and crab legs. The wings and crab balls were also SO good. I know, you don't want to waste your appetite on fried stuff but sometimes a different taste is needed and let me tell you, well worth it! Parking is easy because it is in a lot but it can sometimes get very busy. They also only take reservations for groups of 8 or more which blows because otherwise it's first come first serve. You're also only allowed a 2 hour time limit window. Service could have been a lot better as well. Our server was MIA a lot of the times so I feel like that would have improved our experience here. Still a must though if you're a seafood lover! read more

The restaurant looked really nice and the service was good and prompt. Casual ambience and family friendly spot. The food was ok. We thought that the sauce didn't have much flavor compared to other Cajun boils that we've been too... We really like our Cajun boils, we've been to many different joints. We did go in the month of December... Maybe it's just not fresh seafood season? They were having $40 all you can eat deal for the month of December too. The spice level was not consistent. We ordered mild at first, which was their lowest spice level and we thought it just tasted like butter. Then we got a medium and it was spicier, a bit more flavor. We got another order of medium and it was a lot spicier, some people in our group had a hard time eating it. Id recommend staying clear of the stone crabs. It was really hard to eat as the meat just kept braking apart and the shell was just really hard to get through. Stick to the snow crab legs. The shashimi was nice too, we started off with those. We liked the yellofish, salmon and tuna. We also ordered some fried starters: calamari, and hush puppies. The calamari was my favorite! I enjoyed sangria's throughout our visit. It was nice and sweet but not too sweet... It was supposed to be cold though right? We had a good time here, but I don't think I would come back for their Cajun boil. read more

All you can eat for $40+! It's a great place to get your seafood cravings satisfied as they have a ton of items--sashimi, crabs, clams, mussels, etc. Had our company holiday dinner here so we had a large party of over 30 people. Not quite sure whether that impacted my experience.. but the waitstaff were friendly & attentive but the food was alright, their sauce could be improved. The spice-level was inconsistent. The mild felt like it was just butter and nothing else. After trying our neighbor's sauce w/ medium-spice level, it wasn't too bad wo we thought to order medium spice-level on our next round. Much to our surprise, our sauce was H O T, much spicier than the sauce we'd tried from our neighboring table. I myself like spicy Cajun boil but I felt that I was just eating cayenne pepper. I suggest asking for sliced lemons, dash of salt & pepper and pour into a little saucand you'll have your own seafood dipping sauce. Now onto the parts I liked best: their sashimi was pretty tasty! I read some of the reviews here but I had an entirely diff experience--their yellowtail tasted fresh & melted in my mouth like butter. Finally, chocolate cake is heavenly.... don't leave without treating yourself to a piece. read more

Crazy Crab - Crazy special mild sauce. Blue crab,shrimp, crawfish, scallops, king crab legs, green mussels, onion rings, fried tilapiawith sweet potato. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Was really optimistic based on other reviews but everything other than service was really rough. Oysters had a bad taste to them, we only each had one and had to spit them out immediately. The chickens and fries were fine a little lacking in flavor and likewise the calamari. My soda water based drink was entirely flat so I thought the soda water had been forgotten but when I asked for them to add some I realized the soda water in the gun was flat. There didn't seem to be any interest in fixing that problem. read more

Awesome experience and crab legs. But definitely had stomach pain following our outing to crazy crab

Overall, I think this place is worth the money. They can accommodate folks with allergies by providing sauce on the side. However, the quality of seafood that arrives per order isn't always consistent. For instance with the snow crab legs, some were really good and large, while others were very scrawny and sparce with meat. Our waitress was very kind and efficient asking/bringing our next rounds. Wish they had a location in Rockville. But worth the drive coming here for a seafood fix! read more

Came here for little night out for my friend's birthday. After being in the house for so long we decide to venture out. First let me say that the food was great! It was hot and sized really well. These are things that keep me wanting to come back. However, I know due to COVID things have changed and with that I think management should be on top of the updates and changes via their yelp or any other social media platforms. For those who don't live close to drive and hour out to get there and find that it doesn't close at 11 like their page says but instead they stop seating at 9. Not only that but they are also not doing the all you can eat special. Again I understand but also be fair and let people know prior to getting up at the door. We were able to order to go and sit outside but these small changes would have at least prepared us prior to making the drive. read more

First time I ordered, they said it'll be ready in 30 min. when I get there after 30 min. I have to wait 15 more min. Second time I ordered one day before, I left a message I need a pick it up at Noon. and called restaurant verify my order and pick up time. This time waiter told me it'll be take 5 more min. But I have to wait 35 min. Also taste(Flavor) is not the same as first time. read more

One of my favorite in town crab joints. Seating and parking is tight and limited so it Can get very busy. This also causes the wait staff to be delayed at times. Was once mislead by the waiter about the all you can eat being discontinued and ended up spending more via Al a cart but it's only happened once. Like everywhere else prices have increased a bit. Also Make sure u eat all your food "order with your eyes and not your belly" or you'll have to pay for any leftovers per pound. Otherwise five star great place. read more

Everyone ordered food at the same time in this extremely loud TGIF type "restaurant. " My entree was a single crab cake which the manager confirmed was not hand made to order. 20 minutes after everyone had eaten their meal we prompted the waiter for my food. He didn't apologize just said he would check. 15 minutes later no crab cake. We asked for a manager and the crab cake showed up in all the splendor of say Red Lobster. The manager was unapologetic and no committal about their obvious error. If you enjoy frozen to fried food (I didn't pick this place) with bad service and deafening acoustics then have I got a place for you. I understand errors happen when you are serving more than yourself but a simple apology would have made my night more enjoyable. read more

This place is awesome on food! That's why we drove over an hour to get here. However, a couple days before we tried booking a reservation and was declined because we were a party of 4...the min for reservations is 6. Welp, we get here and theres a 2.5 hour wait!!! It's my birthday too..picked this place to come to so the rest of the family could try it 9ut (only my second time) This freaking sucks. My kids are bummed. Currently waiting in line as patient as we possibly can be. Maybe let other people book reservations next time! We have no connection down here other than wanting to come here. I get it, you're busy! Business is booming...but this is unacceptable when we tried to be proactive about this and mentioned being an hour out! read more

I have been to this place 2 times now and I luv it. All you can eat seafood at a reasonable price. Not just basic crab and shrimp. They have mussels, oysters, crawfish, crab legs and whole crab and so much more. They also have chicken wings, French fries, corn on the Cobb and other side items, all included. You can also choose the spices you want on it. It is messy but they provide you with a plastic bib and gloves. You definitely get the money worth here. The only downside is the wait. Of course they are VERY popular and you can't make a reservation. So yea your gonna have to wait, and it could be upwards of an hour. Make sure you watch your check, I had one server try to be slick and add the gratuity they wanted onto your check and try to make it look like it's included but it's not. Again that was only one server, it never happened again and I did not see that server there when I went back. Other than than its a pretty good place to go and enjoy some great seafood. read more

Seems overpriced at first but where else can you get AYCE tableside delivery of whatever seafood you want?

I should report them to health department. THE MANAGEMENT MUST BE CHANGED!!!!!! read more
