My husband and I visited for the first time and had a great experience. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better. The restaurant was clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. The crabs were pretty good and nice and meaty. The happy hour portions were tasty and a good amount of food for the price. Overall, everything was enjoyable and we would definitely come back again. read more

This place just opened about three weeks ago and I went here for my birthday dinner. Not only were the prices incredibly good, The portions were insane as well. The seafood tasted insanely fresh and although we had a party of 10 people, the wait was not long at all. I wish I remembered my waitresses name because she did amazing. We had everything right and on time and she even gave me a birthday shot and a complementary side dish. I would definitely recommend this place. I typically go to crafty crab for my crab legs in this area, but I definitely might have a change of preference in where I go from now on because of how good this experience was! read more

This is my third time going to Jason's and definitely my last. The crabs were horrible I sent my order back three separate times because the crabs were mushy, overcooked and tiny it can fit in the palm of my hand. I don't feel like for my monies worth. The first time I went, I orders off the menu. The fish was overcooked on the outside and not fully cooked on the inside!! please do not waste your money at this place go somewhere else. read more

P.S. More pictures from another visit. The food was served piping hot. I like the huge portions of flounder. I do not carw for the tartar sauce or coleslaw. All else was good. read more

I was so excited to have a crab place closer than the 80 minute round trip to Captain Pells. We got crabs from here to kick off the summer and they were not good. They lacked seasoning and flavor. I dumped a can of old bay on them and still ate them. Fast forward to the end of summer, I ordered from here (again not wanting to make the 80 minute trip to Pells). I asked for the crabs to be extra seasoned. When I arrived to pick up my order, I inspected the crabs before I paid. They were not seasoned. I told the owner/manager I did not want them and they didn't look good. His reaction was surprising to me, it was as if he knew they weren't good crabs. Captain Pells is worth the drive every single time.. read more

Nice place, wasn't very busy for a Sunday. Went for crabs but they didnt have any unless you got a crab boil. More plentiful in summer.

Service was solid and everything in Jason's "Big Catch" seafood boil was cooked well. The sauces were the only downside. Thankfully, our server let us sample first; otherwise I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the meal. Jason's special sauce tasted something like penne sauce, and the house garlic was overly sweet. If they added something closer to Hot N Juicy's style, I'd definitely come back. read more

As far as seafood goes you can definitely find better spots in the area. I'd recommend Crafty Crab over this place.

So I would probably give this a 4 for the area. My partner would rate it lower so I gave a 3 to be in between. We got 3 lbs of crab legs, hush puppies, sausage, corn, and potatoes. My crab was nicely cooked. My partner got the same sauce etc and his crab was stuck to the shell every set of legs. When the server asked multiple times how the food was I mentioned my husbands crab was really stuck to the shell ie overcooked. I'm not sure he understood he sort of just giggled awkwardly and said sorry. The corn was strange. Maybe over boiled? We were split on the hush puppies. It was a nice large spacious place. No wait for seating. I realllly want to like them a lot and be able to come back. It's a very convenient location. I could even see the potential for entertainment like trivia live music etc to bring people in. The bar had TVs if people are into sports. Very very small critique the paper towels on the table are hard to rip while your gloves are on. Even a bar for paper towel to spin on might help and keep the top hygenic. We did see 1 ant on the table/paper towel. I know it's the season for ants but I was a little put off. Positive they give you claw crackers without being requested. The staff was checking in often. read more

Was out of dungeness crab legs, the vinegar bottles had some weird substance in it, it was hella empty which is usually a sign that the food is not going to be good but, we went in anyways. That was the wrong decision. Our server was nice but that's about it. We both got the crab boil bags to which in comparison to other places that offer crab boil, this one missed the mark BIG TIME! Tasted frozen, flavorless, and the sauce was oily. Also, the menu is small. Will NOT be back. read more

Place was ok, former TGI Fridays location and literally felt like I was still in a TGIF. Food was good, service was slow. Overall very expensive for a night out. read more

I stopped by Jason's Crab House last night and had such a good experience I HAD to leave a review. Our bartender, RJ, was honestly the highlight of our visit. He was super attentive without being annoying, and he actually knew the whole menu like the back of his hand, from the drinks to the seafood specials, the food was good too, needs a little more sauce and seasoning sometimes but still good. I told him I wanted something refreshing but still strong and he mixed up the perfect drink on the first try. My friend ordered something completely different and he nailed that too. The vibes were great, service was quick, and you can tell he really cares about making sure his customers are taken care of. If you're planning to stop by, definitely sit at the bar and ask for RJ. You'll thank me later! read more

We came for the $18 lobsters and thought they were delicious! We also had the bang bang shrimp on happy hour and the crab soup. We will be back. read more

Decided to try a new seafood spot and was not disappointed. We had the fried oysters and bang bang shrimp for appetizers. Both fried to perfection and seasoned appropriately. I had the fish and chips, which was delicious. My husband had a boil and it too was delicious. The atmosphere is inviting, employees and manager are polite. Check out the daily specials...you won't be disappointed. read more

Bummer! We were excited to have a Crab House in Springfield, VA, but this is not it :( No wait was good (?), not really, there were only about 5 tables occupied. Menu is very limited! Major issue were the salt shakers; they wouldn't shake salt. So we twisted (forced) the lid off, to find gross nasty crap in the lid, we showed it to our server, he brought us another one, even nastier, I showed the gross crap I got our if the lid (cap 3) to the employee who came by to see if we were happy, so they brought us another salt shakers. I guess they wiped this one out. Final note was that our server came to clear our table while we were still there! Unbelievable! They had about 60 4-8 top tables, with 4 of them occupied, but our server had to clear our table before we left. We won't be returnin read more

Not a good seafood spot. It's a shame because the area lacks good seafood. They were clearly overwhelmed as a new restaurant so I gave them two stars rather than one. Service: Slow and disorganized. It took a while for them to realize we were seated, then didn't get menus. It took forever to take our drink orders and he had to be reminded twice that two drinks didn't come out. He was nice and understood we weren't happy. Food: Mid at best. I can't tell you how the crab legs tasted because mine came out cold and I sent it back. The lobster roll generic packaged lobster bits. The mixed seafood we had had tough shrimp in it swimming in a "medium" spice sauce that was too spicy. The fish and chips was edible and had a good portion, although it not memorable. Atmosphere: This place was a Fridays. It looks like a fridays with ocean stuff on the walls. The bar was nice but there was no bar tender. read more

I am so glad that I read the reviews before I want to try this place. Very cheap quality and overcooked. Never try never know. Never come back. read more

Glad we looked at the reviews before entering this restaurant. The parking lot was empty which I thought was odd based on the Google reviews. My husband ordered two items to go while we waited in the car and general area. It was extremely slow service and not sure they had enough staff working at the time even though the parking lot was empty. We did a taste test on the crab legs and shrimp with the lemon butter flavor. We also ordered the wings and calamari. Everything tasted like McDonald's quality, greasy food. We were close to ordering a crab cake but was told they didn't have any. Kinda glad that wasn't available since the menu stated the crab cake came with a thousand island salad dressing? We ended trashing everything and headed over to Van Dorn street which was a much better option. read more

Met some friends at Jason's on a Sunday afternoon and was thoroughly entertained by RJ behind the bar with his fun, attentive attitude. The Sunday bar specials were incredible, and the food (shrimp taco's/fish & chips) was awesome. Been making this a regular stop. read more

Very nice place. The servers were very friendly and professional. The seafood was fresh especially the blue crab were very good!!

To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I would give 0 stars if I could. I came on a Saturday evening at 6 PM for the AYCE blue crab, got seated, ordered oysters and a round of blue crab. They came out with our oysters and then told us soon after that they were out of blue crab.... I find it wildly irresponsible for a business who promotes ayce to not be keeping track of their inventory. I understand unexpectedly being out of inventory for a new business, but they should've been keeping track of how much crab they had left so they can tell people AT THE DOOR if they're out of blue crab. Why was it not until we sat down, ordered, and started eating that we were told they were out of ayce crab?? We ended up just paying for the oysters and leaving (the oysters were just okay btw), but I feel like we should've gotten the oysters for free or a voucher for the inconvenience; it feels like they were just trying to get some money out of us at that point. I probably won't ever return. read more

The crabs were both mushy and over cooked. The menu seems to have identity crisis (Korean blue crab fusion??) as it has crabs and mussels but also sides of boiled eggs and rice, also has several fish options which given the size of menu and emptiness of restaurant makes me suspicious that many items are frozen not fresh. Like other reviews the waiter came by at least 3 times trying to clear our table while we were eating. I do try to support local business but this place is deffo not as good as Capt Jacks. Also when I asked for a dessert menu I was told "we don't have one yet." Most of the 5 star reviews seem to be from people who have only reviewed this one place. Nice people but I'll be surprised if this place survives. read more

This place is vibe, service was amazing, food and drinks even better. Food was very hot when it hit the table. This place gives u a great cousin vibes even though u don't know anybody but by the end of the night u will feel like everybody is family. Thanks Lee for the hospitality and the vibe. read more

Food and service was phenomenal! Second visit but won't be the last! Hush puppies and crab boil was on point as well.

Found the sauces tasted as one would expect dish water. Fried shrimp were over done. Hard and like rubber. Same for the oysters. Fried fish mushy. Not impressed and not coming back. That bad. Springfield location read more

Went in and ordered Maryland Crab Soup which was mediocre at best . Wasn't even served with crackers. Tried to order a crab cake sandwich but was told by the bartender they were out of crab meat so they couldn't make any today. Then I tried to order a chicken breast sandwich and was told that they were out of chicken breast and they were using chicken tenders on the sandwich. Asked if the calamari was fresh and was told by the bartender that it was , so I ordered but was definitely a frozen product . Overall very disappointed. It no wonder the place was empty . read more

Recently opened, so with a little bit of repetition this place could be a 5. Ambiance and customer service was a 5. Great interior, big bar area and if they had sports on the TVs would/will be a great spot to watch a game. We had the mussels, awesome, crab legs, great, flounder sandwich - ok. With a little work the flounder could be great, they just need to perfect their batter .... We will definitely be back. Glad there's something a little different in the area! read more

Went right after they opened. Service and food were excellent. Been there twice! Prices for the food were very amazing compared to other seafood restaurants. Highly recommend! read more

Best snow, crabs, and shrimp we've had in a long time. Service was excellent. The food was phenomenal and we are definitely going back. This location has only been there for one month and we were so surprised to find it. read more

I really want this new restaurant to succeed. But it needs some work. Ambiance is fine--servers are polite and eager to please; however, all are foreign (Korean I think) and most have not perfected their English so it's a bit difficult to communicate. They serve a steamed lobster tail which I ordered and enjoyed--all the fish entrees however are fried--it would be nice if they offered grilled and/or broiled as well. I was excited about the blue crabs, however I asked someone who ordered them how they were--they said they were very meaty but somewhat mushy--mushy is NOT GOOD when it comes to blue crabs--means they are either bad or not alive when cooked which could have very bad consequences. Sincerely hope they read the reviews and make some positive changes. read more

Crab legs were great! Our server Jessica was awesome and had a great personality! We will be back!
