Husband's birthday and he turned down a downtown seafood restaurant for Juicy Seafood. It has been sometime since we have eaten here. The last time was in Castleton. My husband thought this West side location would be nicer and less of a cheap atmosphere. We were welcomed right away and taken to a booth in the bar. It was private and the table was large. Our waitress was also the bartender. She did a great job as she kept an eye on us and also her bar responsibilities. We had the Red and Black. This entree was for two. We added 1/2lb of sausage. We had two large lobster tails. Snow crab with huge meaty legs. About 2 dozen shrimp, mussels and potatoes as well as corn on the cob. All was delicious. We were pleased with our meal and enjoyed all the juicy sauce associated with it I would give this restaurant 5 stars but the building and decoration, etc are dated and the atmosphere is that of a cheap restaurant. Will we go back? You betcha just not right away. Too much fresh seafood to eat on a regular basis read more

We visited on Saturday evening without a reservation. We were seated immediately. The host and our server were both friendly and prompt. I ordered the plant power combo with the juicy special sauce, medium. It comes with 3 corn cobs, 1 lb of broccoli, and 2-3 potatoes. I also had a side of rice. The corn was sweet & juicy and the potatoes were all cooked thoroughly. The broccoli was a little overcooked, almost wilty, but still tasted okay with the seasonings. My boyfriend ordered a create your own combo with snow crab legs, lobster tail, and crawfish with the juicy special sauce - medium. He loved the flavor and everything was cooked well and he received a nice portion. Overall, we had a great time. read more

It was a strong stench when you walked in. We were greeted and seated immediately. Jayci was our server and she was great. Our food came out hot and fresh. The sweet tea was definitely sweet. The bathroom was clean. But the gnats were a little excessive. I was barely able to eat my food. I dont eat meat, but I do enjoy a good boil every now and then. I ordered broccoli, cauliflower, corn, and potatoes. read more

I ordered the oysters (with a spice level of hot) and the Cajun wings. The spice level was ok and the Cajun seasoning on the wings was really good. I ordered calamari and it wasn't that great ... not as fresh as I was thinking for a seafood place. The Cajun fries were definitely good. I ordered the Old Fashioned and it was horrible - watered down, no alcohol and a ton of what tasted like grenadine. I replaced it with a Moscow Mule as that was the only other drink that seemed to be safe to make and it was okay. Service was terrible - it took a long time to receive anything, even the checks and didn't get checked in on. For a seafood boil spot, I did have some shrimp and the corn from my sister's boil and that was good and spicy. read more

Came on a busy Saturday early evening. Wouldn't seat us until our whole party had arrived. Service was slow. Server was very nice (AJ). Took a while to get our drinks and food. Want to say food came out about an hour after being seated. Food is delicious as always. Parties of 6 or more get automatic 18% gratuity. For this is feel like they should really make sure they work hard to make sure we get everything we need. After getting our food no one came by for a long time. Checks took a minute to come out as well. Saw other people getting their food before us when they arrived after us. We ordered soon as possible. We were on a time crunch. Do not come here without patience, you will be disappointed. Drinks are weak. They do not offer refunds. Calamari was just ok. Fries are good. I always get the juicy flavor hot spice. I tried the fire and it was also good. Be ready to get messy. The shears is had were weak and were scissoring. read more

The food is pretty decent, but the seasonings aren't really evenly distributed onto the food so some seafood boils taste a lot better than others. If that even makes sense. The service was not so great. They took a very long time and they were very pushy for us to hurry up and order and kind of like rush us out I'm not sure why they weren't even close to closing. The atmosphere was OK very relaxed not much management going on. I may go back maybe to a different location. read more

I had a disappointing experience at Juicy Seafood. We stopped for lunch. It was my first visit. The dining room has an ocean theme with fish and nets hanging from the ceiling. A hostess seated us with menus. We had to ask for lunch menu because she only gave us dinner menus. I ordered the fried oyster lunch. The oysters arrived with a burnt breading and the oyster itself tasted old and awful. I was horrified. The seasoned fries were very good so I nibbled on those. Our server, Ro, was really attentive and friendly. She asked about the meal and I told her about the oysters. She encouraged me to order something else and brought me the menu. I ordered the fried shrimp. When the plate came, they had removed the burnt oysters and placed the freshly fried shrimp on top of the now cold fries. I could still see bits of the oysters on the plate. The shrimp were good, better than the oysters. But I just couldn't get past those awful oysters. My husband had the fried calamari, which he liked. I will give them points on cleanliness in the dining room. They have a process for thoroughly cleanly tables between customers. I probably won't return and it's difficult to recommend based on my one visit. read more

I love this food! They have drinks for those that want them. But this is the crab boil seafood you've been looking for. Check out each store's specials... some good ones! read more

We've always talked about coming here for years and finally did. Started with calamari as appetizers, not bad but the serving was small. Not used to having starters this small. Both of us went for the make your own combo. Wifey got the scallop and shrimp combo in cajun, medium spicy. Very filling and tasty. I went for the snow crab leg and scallops in lemon pepper. Very enjoyable. The shrimp and scallops were jumbo size. Drinks were served late (not the water, water was served first) and we were almost done with our meal. Other than the late drinks and small serving size appetizer, it was an enjoyable dinner. Definitely would come back for the snow crabs. read more

This place is overall pretty good. Food was definitely filling and flavorful with the juicy special seasoning and a mild spice level. Wish I had a proper cracker to open the crab as I was given very cheap scissors that hurt the hand after a while. Waitress was friendly but the whole staff seemed distracted on their phone. read more

Be ready to get messy! The seafood boil was a little bland. You do get a lot for the price and it was piping hot. I'm not sure what happened to our waitress, but towards the end she left and we had to ask one of the hostesses to get us water. We also ended up having the hostess get our bill. The service was very lacking. There are a lot of seafood boil options that are tastier and don't have you wondering where your waitress went. Be ready to spend over $100 bucks for two people. read more

First time EVER going inside and let me just say WAY cheaper BUT... They have NO utensils to PROPERLY crack crab legs! First off, no crackers. Those are ESSENTIAL! Secondly no forked spear utensil or the forked one with the flat half and then clawed half. Don't think they have names, but look up crab leg unrealistic and they have kits. The waiter was super helpful, didn't catch his name for my usual mention of the servers. The atmosphere was that of a Joe's Crab Shack. My preference is to order in, but price wise dining out is best. I like to have the right utensils and be in the comfort of me own home, but it was an experience. read more

This is definitely a go to seafood spot. Juicy seafood has crab legs, shrimp corn muscles oh crab salad, hush puppies, chicken fingers and more. If you're looking for a sauce try to get all three sauces blended together, that's a favor is mine. If you plan on dining in, they have a lot of open seating TVs, a bar on the far right side of the restaurant and music to add to the ambience. The service is fairly decent. read more

Pretty darn good! Service was fantastic! Which is the main reason I'm giving 4 stars. I've been before and I usually get the seafood mix that comes in the plastic bag with potatoes and corn and THAT is amazing. However, this time I got the fried Whiting Filet and it was meh. It just wasn't a good fish flavor in my opinion. But I think it's just personal preference. I LOVE the fries, the seasoning is awesome. read more

DO NOT ORDER TO GO. I REPEAT DO NOT ORDER TO GO. They will always mix up your order with DoorDash and uber eats and you'll have to wait 20 minutes to be forgotten then another 30 after you remind them to find your food for them to finally start it. Best to eat in where you can at least get full on drinks while they forget about you. read more

Dang, good food at a great location. Right off 86th street. The waitress gave us time to talk and decide before taking our order. All the staff were polite and helpful. Only two things I would change. 1.) appetizer served with the meal 2.) Hand dryers in the bathroom instead of paper towel. read more

Great stop! Went for the first time last weekend around 5:30pm on a Saturday and restaurant was only 1/4 full so tons of seating. Server was friendly. Food came out hot and FAST! Was nice and messy and all the fun. My only complaint is the vibe is a bit "cheap" with a shaky, chipped table, thin plastic plates, etc. I feel the atmosphere could be bumped up a notch to match the price of the food. read more

First time trying this place in indianapolis.. Ajacia was the best 10/10 recommend and I will come again. She recommended what to get, slice level, and excellent customer service as it being our first time. We will be back. Thank you read more

I don't typically write negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my recent experience due to how disappointing it was -- mainly because of poor cleanliness and lackluster management. After being seated, we waited over 20 minutes before anyone came to take our order. When the waitress finally arrived with our drinks, I noticed my cup of Sprite had visible lipstick stains and old drink residue on it. It was clearly unclean, which was both surprising and disturbing. You expect a basic level of hygiene at any restaurant -- this fell far below that. When I brought it to the staff's attention, the response was disappointing. There was no real apology, just a half-hearted "sorry" that felt more like an inconvenience to them than genuine concern. It became very clear that management either didn't care or had no intention of addressing the issue. The lack of urgency or accountability only added to my frustration. Unclean utensils and poor customer service are a bad mix, and sadly, it completely overshadowed any chance of enjoying the meal. I truly hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements. Until then, I won't be returning -- and I can't recommend this place to others and without proper leadership and attention to basic standards this place is a prime example of how poor management and a lack of basic cleanliness can drag a business down fast. read more

AJ was our server and she did an amazing job. The food was so delicious. Can't wait to spend my birthday there again.

I was told that Priscilla was the manager on duty on Saturday, July 29, 2024. She was rudest and unprofessional individual that I have encountered at an eatery in some time. When I asked for the name of her superior, she refused, stating she was not allowed to provide the information. The issue was about my niece's birthday celebration, which was over 6, paying 18% gratuity and each individual who were paying for their meals separately were also asked to pay an 18% gratuity. We did not have a problem paying 18% for the group but could not understand why Priscilla insisted on individuals paying for their meals separately, were also asked to pay 18% gratuity. The sign specifically stated that parties over 6 would have to pay an 18% gratuity. There was nothing posted about individuals paying separately for their meals having to also pay the 18%. Some of us decided to leave rather than accept Priscilla's 18% gratuity rule. However, we would like to know is it Juicy Seafood's policy to charge members of a party over 6, who pay separately, n 18% gratuity? Wana Alwalee; Mesquite, TX; 469-563-4574 read more

It didn't take long to discover eating here isn't just about the food.. It's an experience! We went here to celebrate our anniversary and told the waitress it was our first time there. She was great and explained how ordering worked and even gave recommendations. On her recommendation, I got the seafood broil with scallops,which were larger than expected. We got hush puppies as an appetizer and because of the low cost, got a second order with our meal! My husband got the catfish and really enjoyed it. They brought us bibs, gloves and wet wipes. For my broil, the gloves helped me keep the mess to a minimum. In the broil, small corn cobs and potatoes were also included and I got shrimp as well(without the heads) if you are fine with the heads on that is an option, I just don't enjoy the extra parts,ha ha.I also ordered my first Sangria and thoroughly enjoyed it as well! read more

The food was indeed juicy! Got the Mr. Captain with garlic butter and medium heat and buffalo wings. The medium definitely did not have any spice to it, which was very upsetting. Be sure to get hot if you're wanting that heat. There was tons of butter but if I went back I would get the cajun spice instead of the garlic butter as my spice, it was too bland. I enjoyed the shrimp a lot, tender and perfectly cooked! I would go back again! read more

We decided to go to Juicy for lunch because it is convenient to our work locations. Upon arriving Ms. Z always greets you with a great smile and personality. We were sat in Ro's area in the bar and I let her know we both had a certificate and we both wanted to use our certificate and be put on separate tickets. She mentioned she would let her manager know. We both ordered a create your own combo. The food was okay! When we were to check out the server gave our certificates to the manager on duty and this is when everything went downhill. It took Jmarie some time to figure out the certificates. Once she figured them out she told us only one person could redeem the offer. We both told her we had used them before in the same setting and that's why we presented the certificate BEFORE ordering. She told us basically she would only honor one certificate, and she shouldn't allow us to use it on the lunch special. Clearly the restaurant has a lunch menu and we didn't order the lunch special that is presented on the board once you arrive in the restaurant. She then proceeds to say that we didn't order enough food for the voucher when the voucher clearly states " Maximum of one certificate per table ($30)" This is stating you will not receive more than $30 off a meal and if the certificate is expired you will only receive $15 off. My certificate expired and I knew I would only get $15 off. I don't like when people don't read to comprehend what the certificate states. She proceeded to say who honored it before like I remembered the man and lady name. Then she proceeds to tell me they haven't been there in 3 years. WHY are you telling me this? We ALWAYS present the vouchers in the BEGINNING and sit in the bar to avoid this issue. This was clearly a POWER ego. I asked her to call the owner and she told me she was the manager. Managers in retail can basically do what they want to do. I kept reiterating that we showed the certificate in the BEGINNING and she didn't care. I said so you think we would've proceeded if we knew we both couldn't use our certificate. I said what if I came with the exact amount of money. Jmarie then said, I will then fill out a police report. The audacity of her to think I would come into a restaurant to eat food and not pay. I believe managers should be trained better to listen to a situation as we presented the certificate BEFORE we ordered our food. No one likes a quick and hard no. There was no kindness, she abandoned grace, humility, forgiveness and mercy. Also, how rude is it to eat a competitor's food while sitting in the dining room of the restaurant you work at and upon departure you are sitting in the dining room on your cell phone. Customer service and employees don't want to actually work these days. I don't know if I will be back or recommend this place to anyone else. read more

OMG! This place is addictively delicious. My 16 year old daughter and I went here this past Sunday afternoon and we're still dreaming about it. My daughter has been dropping hints about this place, as well as other seafood places throughout the city, for months, so we chose this spot for our most recent mommy-daughter date. We arrived around 3:30-3:45pm to a moderately full parking lot and lots of parties waiting to be seated. We were quoted a wait time of about 15 minutes, but that wound up being upwards of 30 minutes. They have a Now Hiring sign on the door and that may explain why half of the dining room was empty, but parties were still waiting on tables. Once seated, our server Leon greeted us rather quickly. He came to take our drink orders, but after the long wait we were prepared to order our meal as well. We got King Crab legs with mild garlic butter and the create your own boil with Snow Crab legs, green mussels and shrimp (no head). The food came out so quick! Almost instantly. We also ordered a side salad and white rice. I ordered the Juicy Special sauce on the side. Everything was so tender and well-seasoned and....JUICY! Honestly, we didn't get very much crab for the price, but that was to be expected. The mussels were huge, but I didn't try any. My daughter liked them though. Everything from the crab and shrimp down to the corn and potatoes were so yummy. Actually, the corn was so good we debated as to whether or not is was better than Indiana State Fair corn! It's taking a lot for me not to go back this weekend, but it's pretty pricey. We'll have to limit our visits to maybe once per quarter of the year to stay on budget, but I definitely suggest and give two thumbs up! (Side note: We didn't touch the salad or the rice while we were at the restaurant, but that rice with crab meat and shrimp that I'd previously removed from the shell and drowned in sauce was soooo good for lunch the next day!) read more

My family had come here many times before I got the chance. I finally came here after a year of passing by it on my way to and from home. We got two buckets of seafood to share and the hush puppies. Everything tasted incredible! It was quite the experience - aprons, gloves and all! It got pretty messy but that's part of it. Our waitress was friendly and timely. I really enjoyed it and would come back again. read more

Had dinner here on a Sunday evening. It wasn't packed at all. We were seated immediately. The place was super clean and if they weren't serving people you could find the staff cleaning tables, sweeping, etc. Our waiter's name was Leon and he was cool. We looked at the menu and ordered drinks. We asked for a particular bourbon but I don't he understood what we said. We ordered anyway... a margarita and an old fashion. We ordered Whiting with fries, and a steamed basket with seafood. The flavors were really good and Leon was helpful about the specials and what to order. Our food came out REALLY quick (kinda scary ) and again the flavors were good. What I didn't like was that the crab legs seemed over cooked. The meat didn't slide out at all which didn't make it enjoyable. After I cracked a few legs I gave up. The lobster and shrimp were good. The whiting and fries were also good, they weren't greasy at all. Our drinks were disappointing. Not worth the money. My margarita tasted like lemonade and the old fashion was horrible. We didn't want to make a big stink about it but I did ask the bartender what they use and he said they use house liquors unless you ask for something different which we did do. Oh well, next time we will know better. I felt like you get more bang for your buck at the Ugly Crab in Avon but I'd come back for the Juicy Seafood's flavor. I'd give it another try. Not sure if the seafood is wild caught for those that care but if you want a clean environment with some good flavors I would give this place a try! read more
