This location is located in a strip of businesses with shared parking, so during dinner time it is…read morepretty busy to maneuver to find an available parking spot. Though the parking lot was busy, I was sat immediately and noticed they were not too busy on a Friday night 7:30pm - likely an indicator of the experience to come. Kaitlyn was very friendly in greeting and throughout the meal. She was obviously the only bright spot on this experience, since you see the star rating. The soda lacked carbonation in the coke, so I mentioned it tasting off to me. I switched to an Orange Fanta, and that too lacked carbonation. Ended up just eating my spicy crab combo with no drink. Which thankfully, spicy is no where near spicy at this location. Medium at best if you order spicy. Genuinely let down, especially since it is ONE cluster for $38.99. Definitely felt this was a skip, and then was shocked when the bill came... As a party of one, I was charged automatic gratuity of 12%, which is bewildering to me. Larger parties? Totally get it! But a party of one, which I was shocked but they do list on the menu of prices. I almost tipped 20% on top of the bill, until I was looking into why it was higher than I expected. Additionally, $4.99 for a soda that doesn't even have the syrup and carbonation properly calibrated?! Wowza, what a letdown for $50+ for dining alone. If you are in Jacksonville, you are surrounded by lots of good seafood places. Big crab? Personally, a pass for me.

I love a good seafood boil! And it's one of the things I crave most. We just got shrimp this time…read morearound for something casual, but it still felt very varied, with the corn, sausage, and potatoes. The shrimp was really easy to peel, and pretty juicy. The potatoes were perfectly soft and able to sop up the seasoning. The sausages were a good combo of chewy and soft. And the corn was super juicy and sweet. We got the mild option, but honestly, we didn't really notice any spice, so I would definitely go for a higher spice level next time. The seasoning was pretty good, but not the best I've had. It was a bit too oily for my preference, which sounds a bit dumb because of course it's oily. But it was so hard to get the seasoning on the food. At times it felt like I was only scooping oil up without any of the flavoring. Whereas at other places, it felt like the oil itself was super flavorful too.

Went to Food truck Friday to catch up with Mr.Lavender aka The Gumbo Man. This wasn't my first…read morevisit for sure but it is my first yelp review. The Gumbo man serves many classic NOLA staples from Gumbo, Po Boys, Boudin balls, and much more. The service is always friendly and with a smile or joke. The upside is that the food is absolutely amazing, the downside, because the food is so good, you may have a bit of a wait if the line is long. Best bet is to check his Facebook page for his location and try to make it before everyone else does. Today, I ordered my favorite, a shrimp po boy and also a large pepper jack boudin ball. The po boy is classic, French bread, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, and overly loaded with very fresh shrimp. I always eat a bunch of shrimp off the sandwich before I take a bite because it's that loaded! The boudin ball was a first for me. It was a crunchy outside, and a hot smooth inside packed with flavor and goodness. I will definitely be getting this again. He never disappoints from food, drinks, to deserts The Gumbo Man has you covered. Make sure you go find him. The food is more than worth the wait, if you have to. For that real deal NOLA cuisine look no further. Enjoy! PSA-This not a restaurant, but a food truck to stop any confusion.

Big crab is no nonsense bar and seafood boil restaurant. While they have spice level options, they…read moreoffer a single seasoning/flavor blend for their boils. It was tasty, with minimal garlic (I love garlic so this isn't necessarily a great thing), and the spice level was accurate. Their shrimp are small in the multi-item boils. I'm usure if they have another size option if you do a shrimp-only boil. They were so small and steamed in a way that the shells were hard to remove. I'd try them again because the seasoning blend was decent, ambiance is open, clean, and chill, and the staff were friendly and responsive.

We did the all-you-can-eat option for $48.99, and it was worth it! That may be a little pricey to some, but for a special occasion with unlimited seafood and appetizers, it was a great price for me personally. They gave us little paper menus to check off what we wanted, and you can fill out as many as you'd like. The staff was very kind and attentive, so everything came out quickly! The seafood was very clean and a good size, which means a lot to me as a seafood lover. I got crawfish, snow crab, black mussels, clams, shrimp, potatoes, corn, and boiled eggs. The sauce had great flavor as well. You can also ask for the sauce on the side if you'd like to control your sodium or calories. Next time I'll try some different things on the menu. It was a clean, cute place, and I'll definitely be back!

Every bite was finger licking good with that flavor. They will beat you by hostess quick as a seat is available. The service i got was above and beyond. My server checked on me every so often. Perfect timing in-between increments. The amount in the daily special is every but worth the cost. It took me over an hour to enjoy and work my way through my meal. Only flaw is no wifi. If a person will be somewhere that long to enjoy food. They may want yo watch videos on a tablet or laptop. Offering internet provides higher morale for customers. They do have a military discount. That discount does not apply to daily specials.
