I wanted some seafood so after physical therapy I went across the street to Juicy Crab. The store looks like a typical Chinese takeout restaurant. I've been there once before when they opened and thought it was ok. But maybe it's what I ordered this time. I got the make your own seafood combo: clams, mussels, and shrimp with heads. It came in a plastic bag swimming in the garlic flavored butter. It was actually delicious. The corn that came with it was sweet. The potatoes were a good addition. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. It was sweet and the seasoning complemented it. The mussels were tasty if a little chewy and the clams were small but not bad. I was very happy with the meal. The service was good. The packaging kept it hot until I got it home. read more

I've ordered their lunch special a few time, cheap price any order for $8.25 over rice dishes. Today I decided to try their seafood options. I picked two type seafood lobster tail and the clam, mixed with Cajun and garlic butter. The mix was surprisingly delicious. The seasoning was just right. Came with corn, and potatoes which was very fulfilling. Definitely continue ordering from this spot. read more

Owner is nice but the food grade seems not so stable. One time it was good, another time it was so watery. This is like once a while I might want to eat and it is near me. read more

they sea food 10/10 100/10 i will go back server was very kinds and takeing his time and juicy crad get a 5 star 5

I came here the other day and placed an order via telephone although I had to repeat myself a few time to ensure my order was correct my order came out perfect and so tasty! I mean the reviews really serve this place no justice which is sad my experience was great! I ordered D with all spices and spicy and it really is not spicy at all but the flavor was there. The sauce was great and the price matched! My daughter got her own crab legs and shrimp she ate them all no complaints. She's a foodie so she was going to be fine either way honestly. My mother had two lobster tails with garlic butter no spicy she enjoyed it said it was good. She would like to see sweet potato as an option on the menu My friend had C and she said it was good this was not her first time here so she knew what to expect. She did say there was not much sauce however I didn't have the same issue. I do wish they gave a plastic tool to open the crab but other than that it was great! read more

The Juicy Crab has replaced Green Lotus, trading Asian Fusion for Cajun Seafood Boil. Not much has changed except the sign and menu. Still Asian owned, but no more General Tso's or Pho-Bo, replaced by higher margin Cajun spiced crab legs. The kitchen and front counter has not changed one iota. Another thing that has disappeared is no more bubble tea or slushy drinks. When I saw Fried Oysters on the menu, I had to have it. 10 oysters and a side item (choice of Cajun or regular fries, dirty rice and can of soda) is pretty good for $13 and they have a Lunch version with 7 oysters for $10. A clarification about the "dirty rice". It was not even close to what you would get in New Orleans or even at Popeye's. It is just chicken fried rice that you would get from the Chinese takeout. The woks in the kitchen were a giveaway. We also got a Combo Special A with 1/2 lb each of Black Mussels, Snow Crab and Shrimp (with no heads), which came with a small corn on the cob and 2 halves of a potato. You can choose your spice level with a Cajun Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce, a Pepper Special Sauce, Garlic Butter Only or a combo of everything. We went with the Cajun with single spice level and was a disappointed in the spice as well as level of sauce. It came in a double plastic bag and when we poured it out into a bowl, there was not much liquid in there. I was hoping to drench my white rice in sauce as well as dredge the seafood through it. There was only enough to sop up. However, the half snow crab cluster, about 9-10 shrimp and 1-1/2 dozen mussels was pretty substantial and worth the $25.99. The mussels are on the small side though and the sauce was thin and didn't coat the seafood as it should. I like crab boil restaurants, but not too thrilled with eating crab and shellfish as takeout. There's not much you can do with a plastic fork against a hard snow crab shell. They do not pre-crack it for you and do not include a steel shell/nutcracker. You are on your own to supply implements of shell destruction. Do not even think of ruining your expensive dental work. It's not worth it. I'm glad I purloined the shell cutting device that Joe's Crab Shack used to have before they closed. I didn't tell you that though. read more

My boyfriend and I thought this food was pretty damn good for the price. Shrimp is large in size. Spice is exactly how we wanted it. For a place in Queens...not close to the water I thought the freshness of the food was great. Even my 11 yr old son thought the shrimp was delicious. I think the shrimp could be deveined a little better cuz I caught a few that had some remnants lol in there but nothing I could clean out myself. read more

Juicy Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

Juicy crab is high on my list for seafood! Sauce is A1 and I try to get seafood weekly if not every other week. Prices are defn decent and food is worth it ! read more

Was in the mood to treat ourselves with some seafood boil for dinner so we ordered a few combos from here! We got the Combo A ($30 which included 1/2 lb black mussels, 1/2 lb snow crab legs, and 1/2 shrimp without heads) and the Combo G ($23 which included 1/2 lb shrimp without heads, 1/2 lb green mussels, and 1/2 lb sausage). Both combos also came with 1 piece of corn and 2 (very large) potatoes. I really liked how there was an option to combine all their seasonings - definitely recommend getting the "juicy special" which includes cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic butter seasoning - so much umami flavor. The seafood tasted fresh and even though I'm not too big of a mussel person, I enjoyed these because they were very soft and bursting with flavor. We were impressed with how large the snow crab legs were and also really loved the sausage that came in the Combo G! We ordered fried calamari as an appetizer as well. While the texture was super crispy on the outside, I wish there had been a lot of more seasoning in the batter, but thankfully they included this sweet and spicy sauce that paired pretty well. This was more than enough food for four people to eat until full, with still a few leftovers, so I definitely think these prices are pretty worth. read more

This place was very average, we got a combo which included Snow crab: probably best part of the combo, decently fresh and well seasoned 4.5/5 Shrimp: not fresh at all, mushy and over cooked very disappointing 0/5 Clams: very small but flavorful 4/5 Potatoes: tasted like potato 3/5, 4/5 paired with the sausage Sausage: salty but pairs well with potato 4/5 Egg: literally unseasoned boiled egg 2/5 Corn: sweet and absorbed the flavor nicely 4.5/5 Overall would probably not return, will look for other seafood boil options around here read more

Juicy Crab - Snow crab, shrimp, clams - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

This was nasty!!! Not worth the money at all..I paid 34.00 for a Number E which is suppose to come with shrimp, crab and lobster. It was not fresh at all. The crab legs taste like freezer bite, the lobster was stuck to the shell which is another sign of it not being fresh. On top of that they only gave 10 shrimp..wth! I've been to a lot of crab boil spots and this was hands down the worst one yet read more

I love this place typically but last night it wasn't my favorite. My family and I love the make your own boil, with the garlic sauce, and the fish lacked all the flavoring that it typically has, and the amount was shortened. It is typically flavorful and full so when I order again I'll be sure to update- I hope this place hasn't changed. read more

I ordered fried catfish today (2 orders) me my family' were satisfied with the serving size, the taste is perfect, the temperature of the food is perfect and in addition the price is great! I will comeback again soon and tell friends about this place. The owner is nice, the place is clean-they have a good exhaust fan so when you come out of the place you don't smell like fried food. read more

I expected the food like the boil in Manhattan , oceanic boil in queens , naked crab / shakin crab in flushing after seeing the menu. But the sauce flavor is not like that. No garlic or butter flavor. The lobster is small and the meat is hard and difficult to chew. I don't recommend it. read more

I had a great meal delivered, seafood was fresh, plenty corn and potatoes. I ordered the 1/2 lb each of black mussels, headless shrimp (slightly overcooked) and snow crab legs. I chose the seasoned garlic butter, no spicy. Will definitely order again. read more

Great place. I love their seafood broil. I always get the lunch special shrimp and switch around the sauces. Now they sell more Chinese food and I'm excited to try it all read more

Really good place! Excellent service as well. I've ordered 2 times already here. I recommend the crab and the mussels.

Not impressed. First time recently and decided to try this place as I've been seeing them pop up around town in various locations. I had the fried oysters basket with "dirty" rice and got my mom the fried catfish basket with regular fries. I won't be eating the oysters ever again, just plain bad, and the rice should not be labeled dirty rice, but that's what I get for not reading the reviews well. It is just plain fried rice SMDH. My mom thought the fried catfish was good so if I do ever try them again I'd get that or a seafood boil option, but I doubt I'll be back with so many other longtime staple neighborhood spots around town that I can go to if I'm really craving takeout seafood. Staff was friendly though. read more

We got combo B and it was really bland. No spice, just straight butter. My stomach starting hurting afterwards and found out I got food poisoning... called to get a refund and they said they don't do that. Don't eat here! I'm bed ridden right now read more

I do not know why there has been such an influx of new crab restaurants in Queens and all over the city .. every time I turn the corner, there is a new crab place! Where are they getting all this crab?? Should I be eating it?? Despite my inner voice warning me from eating some of this mass produced seafood that is prob radioactive, I had a craving and well I indulged lol! Hubbie and I got a family serving with the juicy special sauce... let me tell you it was finger licking good! I do wish I had something to crack the crab legs with but we managed with a forks and brute strength.. we included head on shrimp and black mussels- which were all very fresh and delicious.. the meal also had corn, red potatoes, sausage and eggs included, which made for some yummy sauce soaking.. next time I will get head off shrimp as I was a bit grossed over the shrimp not being cleaned of that black line of intestines which I picked out but not a deal breaker- this is messy eating , it ain't gonna be perfect! Am I right on being grossed? Dunno ...Anyhoo we had plenty leftovers... we also picked up the hush puppies but to me they were over fried and oily.. total 60 bucks with tax n tip for a weekend treat... Will def return unless I start growing extra toes or something.. shrug.... read more

Ordered some shrimp Alfredo and combo special of lobster tail, shrimp and snow crab. DELICIOUS. My brother who doesn't like seafood loved it. The garlic seasoning was really good. Will definitely be eating again! read more

The worst place ever! I ordered a take-out family combo entree and an appetizer of edamame. Their online menu not their in-house store menu stated that they place sausages in the bag which is not noted/stated on their menu, except for combo F. I picked up my food and kept it moving. Upon arriving at my destination noticed that there was no truth in advertising. I telephoned them and the woman argued with her limited English that their printer press made the error. I advised her that is not my issue and that they had to correct that. They agreed to reprocess my order and deliver to my location. After 40 minutes they called back to state they will not deliver to my location due to it being outside their delivery area. How is that my issue when I ordered to pick up my own food and they messed up my order and then why wouldn't they state that when they asked for the address in the first place. I am forced to give it some type of rating in order to post this review because they are crap and not worthy of any stars. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS PLACE. read more

Is this the freshest seafood you've ever had? Hell no, but if you expect that from a shop like this you're probably also a mouth breather. The food is fine considering the price and it's walking distance from me, so I'm perfectly content with it. Will go back because of the price and the convenience. If you're looking for fresh seafood don't be cheap and go elsewhere. If you're looking for an OK community joint with edible seafood that won't cause diarrhea, this place does the job. read more

Ordered from uber eats.... crab legs were undercooked or over cooked. The meat was super mushy and yellow never again!!
