    Been here several times and the seafood boil is always amazing. The service was attentive and helpful. The place has the ocean/beach vibe far from the beach.

    The food order was accurate. The service was accurate. The staff were friendly. The catfish plate is filling and great price. The sauce for the fried pickle was also delicious.

    The seafood was loved by everybody in our family... The ambience was great in the South Carolina low country here in Hilton Head... But what really made the dinner was our service. Our waitress, Kristen W. was tremendous with drinks, food recommendations, and a great sense of humor. We loved her and she made the entire Dinner even better! Thank you!

    Had a dinner at Crazy Crab, group of 11 adults, and everyone loved it! We will definitely come back soon! It was my first time there but i had heard of its good food. There was plenty of parking; the restaurant is located in a plaza with stores and from the outside doesn't look like much. The inside and decor is a surprise; many tables, walls painted to theme, large stocked bar. Service was good; one waitress for our large table but she was attentive. The food was amazing! We all ordered different combos, there were so many options. We started with apps, some dumplings, crab Rangoon, shumai and hush puppies. I got combo E with the combo spices, medium heat. It had a lobster claw, shrimp, mussels and crab. Also had potatoes (i didn't eat) and corn (loved!). The drinks were great too; had frozen mango margarita, plus we had shots to celebrate a birthday. They came to sing happy birthday with a gong! It was great!

    The corn included in my seafood boil.

    I got take out last night and the piece of corn in my seafood boil had a bite out of it! It's so obvious because it's corn! Disgusting. It was probably either recycled food or a taste test?.. Either way, I won't be going back there. I had already started eating then noticed the corn.

    My family decided to visit Crazy Crab for Cajun Style Seafood. We had a positive experience at a similar restaurant in San Diego, CA, so we were excited to find that one has opened close to home in RI. From the looks of the strip mall, we expected to find a hole-in-the-wall but was pleasantly surprised to find a modern and tasteful casual dining area and sports bar. I'd say it's pretty fancy for a place where you are expected to wear a plastic bib and eat seafood with your bare hands! Check out the photos. My daughter and I ordered Combo D, which includes one cluster of snow crab, 1/2 lb. clams, and 1/2 lb. headless shrimp, 2 pieces of corn, and 2 pieces of baked potato. The medium Crazy Crab sauce was delicious! We dipped the fried fish and oysters we also ordered in it. The portion of combo D was perfect for 2 people and very reasonably priced at $30. The fried oysters and fried shrimp did not disappoint, but I would ask for some lemons next time. The first I visited, I ordered the Po Boy sandwich, which is only available during lunchtime, for takeout. My husband loved it! Crazy Crab is a fun and lively atmosphere that's perfect for large groups and individuals who like to watch sports at the bar. The service is great, the environment is clean, and there's a ton of parking available in the lot. The prices are also very reasonable compared to similar Cajun seafood restaurants. Highly recommend. Will definitely return!

    Pound for pound the best seafood boil spot in Providence. Best bang for your buck, the food is good and the prices are a reasonable as they can be. This is my go to. Other spots, I would spend over $200, whereas here I spend $100.

    Piping hot and fresh -- but no cole slaw :(

    Looking for seafood and don't care about setting? This is the place --- down and dirty on a strip mall off the highway. Big parking lot and quick service at lunch in a clean cavernous space. Looks like a big bar scene. Very tasty fried clams and excellent oyster poboy. Only the cole slaw was missing.

A fried chicken sandwich with different toppings options, chicken fingers, and wings. No grilled chicken options, fried chicken on a salad (that's not a salad), and just as many burger options as chicken. Fried chicken boneless wings, which are the same as half cut chicken tenders and fried chicken sliders (which is basically a small fried chicken sandwich). As for the fried chicken sandwiches we ordered, 6 out of 10. A bit greasy and the a bun that's a bit too bready. Removed half the bun to eat. We also had wings, they were pretty good. Fried right, good sauce. Bright spot here was the service, server and bartender were very friendly and attentive. It was Friday night at 6:30 and it was slow. I think the issue here is that if you don't want a fried chicken sandwich or a burger you're gonna go elsewhere. Really need to evaluate the menu. Local business and I hope it does well, but there are things to fix here. Try it and formulate your own opinion. Thanks

A lot of them are a combination of the…read moresame flavors which makes it a little less impressive, but nonetheless, it was a tough choice to decide on two flavors. They offer different sizes and the more you order, the more flavors you can choose from; 6 pieces - 1 flavor, 10-25 pieces - 2 flavors, 30 pieces - 3 flavors. The prices are good, a little better than those other places. I ordered on the phone for pick up and ended up getting honey garlic and spicy honey lemon pepper. There are some parking spots adjacent to the building. The inside is spacious, with 4-5 tables to dine in and it is very clean. The food wasn't quite ready when I arrived, so I took a seat while waiting. After about another 5 minutes, I did receive my food. First impression was that the wings looked a little dry and small (all 10 fit without an issue in the styrofoam to go mall food containers) but I did like that they were drenched in sauce. However, I was expecting the honey garlic to be darker because of the honey, but the sweetness seemed like it came from a corn syrup type substance as it was clear. The spicy honey lemon pepper did not taste at all like any of those flavors, but it was still good. The wings were dry, but crispy. I was treated well, from my phone call being picked up the first time, to placing my order without a problem, and being greeted with a warm smile when I walked in so there is good customer service.

I've eaten my way through quite a few things here over the years, and while there are plenty of good choices, I keep coming back to the Smokey and the Bandit smash burger. At this point, I probably know what I'm ordering before I even sit down. There's just something about that combination that keeps winning. The food here is consistently good. Everything I've had has been fresh, hot, and full of flavor, and the kitchen seems to have that part figured out without making a big production of it. The menu has enough variety that you can come in with different appetites and still find something you want, but it doesn't feel like one of those places with a menu the size of a small novel where you need twenty minutes just to decide what you're looking at. The beer selection is another reason I enjoy Chomp. There's enough variety to make choosing a beer part of the experience rather than simply grabbing whatever happens to be on tap. Prices are also pretty reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which is increasingly something I notice because restaurant prices have a funny way of creeping upward when you're not paying attention. The location is another part of the appeal. Chomp sits in a great little part of Providence where you can easily make an evening out of being in the neighborhood. There are plenty of other restaurants, shops, and places to wander around nearby, so it doesn't feel like you're making a special trip just to eat and then immediately getting back in the car. Tonight, though, I have to give a special shout-out to Bella, who was our server. She was outstanding. Friendly, personable, attentive without hovering, and genuinely helpful. She suggested adding bacon to my Smokey and the Bandit, which I probably wouldn't have thought to do on my own. I'm very glad she mentioned it because it was an excellent call. Sometimes the best recommendations are the simple ones, and she nailed it. One piece of advice if you're planning on coming here: make a reservation if you can. Chomp can fill up quickly, and given how good the food is, that really shouldn't come as much of a surprise. It's the kind of restaurant where people come back because they already know they're going to have a good meal, and I'm certainly part of that group. Five stars from me. Great food, good beer, reasonable prices, a fantastic Providence location, and genuinely good service. I've tried enough of the menu over the years to know that Chomp has plenty of options, but apparently I'm still incapable of walking through the door without ordering that Smokey and the Bandit. Add Bella's bacon recommendation to the list of reasons I'm going to keep coming back.

We both ordered the Classic Smash Burger, one with cheese and one without. Unfortunately, both burgers were utterly tasteless, with virtually no seasoning detected at all. The Chomp Sauce that was supposed to elevate the burger was so sparse it barely made an appearance, leaving the burgers bland. Honestly, the bun was the best part. The brussel sprouts I ordered also lacked flavor and seasoning aside from the char, and his Cajun fries were so salty they were nearly inedible. After driving from Massachusetts to Rhode Island as a special Mother's Day treat, it ended up being a very disappointing experience, especially given the overwhelmingly positive reviews. We may have caught them on an unusually busy night, but unfortunately our meals fell far short of our expectations.

The corn dogs were crispy with a thin style hotdog. The dumplings were flavored with herbs/spices and not just plain. The edamame was covered in what tasted like delicious pickled mildly spicy pimental peppers. The honey garlic wings came out hot, crispy and the sauce was finger-licking good.
