First time here and the seafood boil was so good! The sauce was very flavorful and the restaurant was very clean. However the service was not so great. There was only one server and i noticed she kept stepping away from mine and other tables to argue on the phone with someone via the airpod in her ear. She was speaking in another language so i wasn't sure what was being said, but this impacted our table getting refills and other things that we needed since she was preoccupied with her phone call. At one point, another table got up and walked out because of how she stepped away to answer a phone call and argue with the caller. Definitely not an environment you want to eat a $40+ meal in.. read more

Crazy Crab - Make Your Own Seafood Combo - Seafood Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

I've been here before, but never did a carry out. I was so disappointed all I could do is eat what I could then throw the rest in the trash.. It was skimpy and unseasoned, and I just cannot believe that this is what they gave me. All of these photos were taken before I ate anything. The last picture is the seafood boil the rest. I moved the stuff around so that y'all can see little to no juice or seasonings.. and I got everything mixed. read more

Ordered food for pickup so my toddlers food would be ready when we dined in and when I asked for a table so we ((3 ppl)) could eat and order our rice they stated it would be an additional 15% (($8)) of our pickup order total (($57)) to sit at a table - so pretty much was going to charge $8 just for us to get a table on top of the $57 we payed for the food already on top of the waitress tip we would have to give after eating. Doesn't make sense. This is 2:30 pm too. Is it policy to charge 15% to sit at a table? read more

The food was delicious. Customer service was amazing. The restaurant was very clean and it had a nautical thing going on throughout the restaurant. Sorry no pictures. I ate my entire lobster crab legs, and shrimp bag delicious will be going back. read more

This was my first time trying them. Ordered from grub hub so review is on food only. I ordered half pound shrimp head off, half pound crab with half pound sausage. For me that's a ton of food so great job there. The sauce was supposed to be a mix of all. Maybe the sauce needed stirring but i just got an unflavored colored liquid. I had to season this bag myself with lemon, garlic, salt and pepper. I also expected the sausage to be in the bag but for some reason they were bagged separately , strange. Maybe i just caught them on an off night. Seafood quality was good, flavor just missing. read more

This is my go to spot for crab boils. I literally eat here once a week. The food is hot and fresh and is ready so quickly. Sad that they are closed on Mondays. There is another location on Telegraph which is good for dine in but in my opinion this locale is better for take out. My go to is the build my own bag. First you pick your seafood, next sauce and spice level. Each bag comes with potatoes, corn and a hard boiled egg with options to add on. I always go with snow crab and shrimp. Sometimes I add sausage if I'm feeling extra hungry. The all mixed sauce is sooo yummy. If you're as much of a fiend for crab boils as I am then try this place. You won't be disappointed! read more

I ordered two seafood boils and a tilapia basket. The tilapia looked well done in sight but I thought maybe it would be crunchy which I'm fine with but no it did not taste good at all and it taste salty. the boils were fine but for people who don't eat shellfish their fry baskets are not good at all the first time I had one it was tenders are they were also horrible. they say all sales are final once you leave, so now I see why. read more

We got takeout from here when it was still takeout only (due to COVID). It was on the pricy side, but they provided generous portions: it seemed like we got more than we ordered (extra potato and more crawfish than anticipated). We ordered crawfish and shrimp with sides. The crawfish was big and the tail meat tasted pretty good. I enjoyed the shell on shrimp - it was cooked well and tasted good with the sauce. The sausage, corn, and potatoes were great sides - the former two provided a nice salty sweet contrast, while the latter was a great starch to soak up sauce. Unfortunately, the sauce was really greasy. It definitely was not really butter, and caused stomach issues for me that night even though I really didn't consume that much sauce overall. We also tried some fried seafood, which had a tasty crack seasoning on the outside. The breading could be lighter though - it was pretty heavy. Although I thought the food was tasty here, for me it was a one and done experience. read more

If you live around Southfield then this is a good location to get seafood since there are not many good places to eat around here. Combo can fill up two people, but i think the size/weight and flavor varies from time to time. Seems like I get more food sometimes. Cajun and lemon pepper are my favorite seasonings. The concern I had is that for to go order. They put hot seafood in a thick plastic bag. Plastic usually leaches chemical once it gets too warm so I would not get takeout often read more

Crazy Crab - Inside - Seafood Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

We had great service. You get a bib and plastic gloves to keep yourself from the mess. The crab leg and shrimp boil with the combination seasoning was good. Also, the fried shrimp and hush puppies were delicious. There is a large seating area that could accommodate a nice celebration. read more

TERRIBLE customer service! Workers Rude and dismissive when I brought a problem about food to them

Food and service were good. Too bad there is not a bar. The hush puppies were delicious.

I ordered 2 of the #1 seafood boil combos with all spices (garlic, lemon pepper, and Cajun seasonings) with medium-hot spice and it was delicious. I added sausage and clams. I also added chicken fried rice. My order was ready in less than 15 minutes. The chicken in the chicken fried rice was unbelievably dry, but the boil was tender and tasty. My total bill was $83. I'd give it another try. 8/10. read more

Their main entrance is on the right door, not the left. I ordered the C11: 2lb (4 clusters) snow crab, Cajun spice and medium spicy level. Yes, my eyes might be bigger than my stomach. Found out later when the bill came that it was a charge of $25.95, per pound of crab. I think the waitress should've mentioned that at the time of ordering, it would've been OK, but I wasn't quite expecting that amount at the end of the bill without some forewarning was all. Looking forward to this messy encounter, with my super thin plastic gloves on. This is not a place to come if you are afraid to get your digits a little dirty, since the gloves never last long with the crab legs at all. They do need to take some time to clean their bathroom toilets, some messy and nasty stuff left behind in there, made me almost throw up even before trying their food first. Almost looks like a small surgical tray for my starter glove, fork, glove, claw cracker, bib and napkin. The puffy bag came out and once opened a nice billow of steam escaped. It was nice and hot, would be cooling down quick as I worked through the crab clusters. There's a half corn on the cob at the bottom, along with a hard boiled egg getting a nice reddish tint from the Cajun spices and a whole small red skin potato too. My method is to eat all of the legs and save the claws with the legs for last. Saving the best for last. I was too stuffed to eat the red skin potato or the hard boiled egg. I did my best and ate my way through 2 lbs of crab legs. Reminds me of the days I would eat in excess of 2lbs at red lobster during high school. It was a dirty job and I managed to cut my thumb glove right before my last 3 legs. They at least use a little bit thicker gloves then some crab and Seafood boil spots that I've been to in the past. The Cajun seasoning here was quite delicious. I don't usually care for the seasoning in a boil, but this one was good. It added good flavoring to everything, including the corn and the eggs. I sadly didn't have enough stomach space to eat the Redskin potato, But I'm sure it would've been good in the Cajun spices as well. Make sure you get a good fork with straight tines on it. I had a crooked fork with a couple bad tines on mine, makes it much more difficult to extract out the crab from the shells. I managed to power my way through 2 pounds of crab meat. It was delicious and a great challenge, but well worth the stomach ache afterwards. Oh woes me. ;) The woman that waited on me was nice enough. She was a smoker, so she must've taken a break at some point to bring me my check. I could smell the stench of smoke from her when she walked my bill to my table. She told me to wait a minute, gave me the index finger, she was too busy talking to a colleague, before she came to my table. I wanted to get new gloves and was waiting for her, but she brought me the bill instead. She brought new gloves and I continued with my last three legs. I think my only comment is that the tables here are maybe a little too high. I kept my arms up above the surface of the table, so they wouldn't rub up against the dirty cajuned paper mat and all the Cajun seasoning and juices from the boil. I felt like a kid that was being punished and having to keep the arms up for doing something bad in school. I however didn't want to brush my arms up against the table, thus ended up elevating my arms up a little. I don't think I would've had to lift them as high as I did, if the tables were a little lower. Just my two cents. I can see why this is such a popular place. They have great seafood boil seasoning and the prices are fair here too. Another note they do except American Express. It's not on their door, but they do except Amex. Food and experience was good. I would definitely come back here for a pound of crab next time in the same seasoning with the same level space. The medium Cajun spice, was about a mild plus at a Thai restaurant. read more

Crazy Crab - Seafood Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

The food was better. I've been coming here for a long time. I used to drive from Belleville to SF for it. But today will be my last day supporting this business. The waitress I had during my lunch was pretty rude and she expected me to want to eat there. The used to add a bunch of season but it lacks now. Maybe she was upset because she had a crowd. Idk but I'll find another crab boil place. Matter of fact, I'll just cook my own. read more

Overall this was amazing. My first seafood boil and it has set high expectations! I got the mixed seasonings and I recommend doing that because it was 3x flavorful. Crab and shrimp was absolutely delicious and it was very juicy, lots of leftover juice so no dryness here! The service was the only thing that was subpar, took a while to ask for lemons but It's okay. The design of the restaurant is interesting and the mirror makes it seem bigger. Overall, 5/5! read more

So worth the try. You get to pick you season level and the crayfish are huge. Not really a fan of the fried perch. The garlic chuck buttery sauce is plentiful, corn and potatoes come with it. I do think the water used to boil seafood should be seasoned. The taste clearly indicates boiled in plain water. The only seasoning is in butter sauce and additional options of flavoring during packaging. read more

Definitely get the rice to sop up the sauce. We placed our order and were able to pick up 30 min later. Will be frequenting for sure. read more

Crazy Crab - Seafood Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

Best snow crab I have had outside of the east coast! Very clean crab, that was sweet, tender, and pulled away from the shell very easily!! We went for an early dinner on Saturday (about 3:45) and waited about 20 min for a table. Not only was there a wait for early dinner, there was a VERY steady stream of carry out orders coming in and out! The dining room was very clean. Paper down on the tables, waste bins, and rolls of paper towel are at every table. Once ordered, easy person was given a bib, fork, claw crackers, and a pair of gloves! You know you are going to get kinda messy when they give you bibs and gloves! We ordered hushpuppies to start and they were tasty. Nice small pieces too, so they were very easy to share. Not the oversized hushpuppies that dry out. My husband and I both got snow crab. I had the garlic butter, he did the Cajun and ordered it hot. The garlic butter had nice visible pieces of garlic and lots of it! It was very rich and yummy! I tried my husbands Cajun and I had wished I got that but mild. It was a great seasoning and very flavorful. The crab we had was really good quality crab. read more

Recently I tried doing a king crab boil in my my own kitchen. It was successful by my estimation, but I wanted to go out and try a more authentic preparation. We dont really have many places in metro Detroit well known for doing a Cajun style seafood boil, until now!!! First thing you will notice is the restaurant is very spacious. The decorations are unique to say the least, but it's not without it's charm. The menu can be a little intimidating to navigate, but if you know what you want beforehand it can be a little easier. My wife and I shared 1 order of the blue crab, which came with boiled corn and potatoes, and smothered with butter and Old Bay as well as other spices. It was more than enough to feed both of us, but we did order popcorn shrimp as an appetizer (which was delicious, but probably not homemade). Let me tell you, they do not mess around here. You get a trash bag, gloves, bib, and even a table covered with paper. They really go the whole nine yards here. Wait staff was good as well, but it did take a little while to be attended to after we were seated despite not being busy at all. As far as the food is concerned it was all delicious. I will say though, the blue crabs were difficult to eat, which is not any fault of the restaurant. I have had other kinds of crab, but these ones don't have alot of meat in them, and they don't break off the shell cleanly. It was a bit of a struggle, but we think the meal was a success. Next time I come back (and I will for sure) I'm gonna try the snow crab or crawfish. read more

Such a mix experience depending on what you order. I would've given it 4 stars if both of our orders came out good. So first came out the blue crab boil, definitely avoid this, the crab was so bad, it's pre frozen & low quality. The legs barely had meat inside & some had dried up sliver of meat, and the whole texture was just weird, melts away kinda texture. It was very disappointing. Glad we had another order of this would've put my off. We also got one of the seafood sets with the snow crabs & crawfish. This came out good. The crabs legs had prenty of meat and was not low quality like the first, the crawfish was also meaty and doesn't taste frozen. We got the everything sauce, and that was really good. This place is very reasonably priced with good flavors & service. The place is also pretty big, so definitely made for groups. We went around 6 so there wasn't much a crowd. Maybe jot a lot of ppl know about this place yet, so the line isn't as bad. Will have to come again to see if the other stuff is good. Avoid blue crabs! read more

My comment will be short. Why you still sitting reading my comment. LOL. The seafood bags are delicious not expensive and they have a great varieties to choose from. I bought 3 C5 Mussel Seafood Boil Bags. Being my first time I was not disappointed. The food was hot and flavorful. I went to pick it up because we are in a government shutdown. I order it on the phone went yo pick it up 15 minutes of order it was done and waiting. Now that's fast service. The safe are helpful and polite. You can add extra things to your seafood boils. There are a lot to choose from. Go try out the CRAZY CRAB IF YOU CRAZY ENOUGH!!! LOL. read more

Crazy Crab - C1. 1/2 LB SNOW CRAB, 1/2 LB SHRIMP (NO HEAD) - Seafood Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

Super clean location, and it was VERY busy early on a Saturday afternoon with a ton of carryout business in addition to tables being sat. Expect to wait a bit if you're dining in. Ordered a Cajun snow crab boil, spicy level: HOT and it did not disappoint. The heat level was very low actually, but everything was super flavorful, and how could it not be; it was sitting in a steam bag full of butter! The side items of a few boiled potatoes, corn on the cob and hard boiled eggs were anecdotal, but the crab was legit. Super clean and sweet; not one salty piece in the whole cluster and it was very easy to clean and eat. I liked the way everything was setup; you got a bib, gloves and a garbage pail right on the table, so everything was easy to eat and dispose of. Our server was pretty uninterested in our table and I didn't really feel welcomed at all by her or the hostess... Also, the overall vibe of the place is non existent, so I've got to knock it down a few stars, but the food is spot on. There aren't many places to get sea food around here, so I'm hoping the Warren location is much friendlier with a better atmosphere. read more

The flavors were absolutely delicious I ordered the garlic butter with no spice. The portion, on point. I've waited so long to enjoy a seafood boil. I will definitely be back. The perfect time to go would be between 12 and 2p. read more

This place is brand new and I am so glad I tried it. The food was exactly what I was hoping for. I got 1 lb Crawfish and 1 lb Shrimp in the Cajun, Garlic butter sauce at the Hot level; it was SOOOOO good! The only thing that could have made it better, would have been an ice cold beer. They have their liquor license, but the bar won't be open for about another month. Can't wait to go back again and again! read more

Crazy Crab - 1 lb Crawfish and 1 lb Shrimp in Cajun, Garlic and butter sauce.... oh so good! - Seafood Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

Great and on time will definitely eat here again soon and will tell friends real soon

This place actually has really nice interior and I can see the attempt to create oceanic or beach vibe. It was a weekday and not yet dinner time when I walk in so the place was really quiet. We stood there for an awkward 2 minutes before somebody finally greet us and sit us. But service was really friendly though. Food came out very quickly too. I ordered the combo C1 (1/2 lbs snow crab and 1/2 lbs shrimp + egg, potato, corn) and fried basket B (oyster, shrimp, calamari + fries) to share for 2. It was just the right amount of food in my opinion. We ordered mild because my friend can't take spicy, it was good though! I think the seasoning was just right and the seafood was cooked well. The fried basket exceeded my expectations. The fries are really standard and can be more crispy, but the seafood was really delicious! Really crispy on the outside but juicy, very well seasoned so we don't need to add anymore sauce (although they gave us a tray of selections). The price is reasonable for what it's worth. read more

Good food but check your order. I've had some sauces with forgotten food but they will always make it right.

A few of these seafood in a bag spots have opened up in the area. When done right, I am a fan. This place was crowded but the wait went fast. The staff (that was working) seamed to be busy. I say that because there were some staff members standing around doing nothing. We set down and ordered our bags. The food was decent, but Hot & Juicy (there isn't one in Michigan) is still the standard. Service was Michigan decent... which means it isn't that good, but par for Michigan. I will say this place is way better than Saucey Crab and that is unfortunate. Décor: 3 out of 5 Food: 3.5 out of 5 Drinks: NA Service: 3 Cleanliness: 3 read more

I cannot say enough about this place! I LOVE Crazy Crab Southfield! I normally get the "make your own", that has 1/2 pound headless shrimp, lobster, extra boiled egg and corn on the cob.

If you do this, PLEASE take your card you use online with you, along with your ID, because they do verify this(due to fraud). Be timely on picking up your order, because it will be ready for you at the time specified. ENJOY! read more

I've ordered twice from this restaurant. Both times I got the 1 LB shrimp and 1 LB snow crab legs with mixed sauce (garlic butter, lemon pepper, and cajun seasoning mixed) and got it mild (you can select your spice level). Along with the seafood, the bag comes with a potato, corn on cob and a boiled egg (I omitted this for extra corn). When I got to the restaurant they have a socially distanced line for their walk up window. Key thing when placing order: REMEMBER YOUR ORDER NUMBER. Its what's needed for pick-up. The bag was still hot when I got home. For the leftovers, I reheated in a pot on the stove and it was still good. I'd recommend this spot and I plan on returning. read more
