Absolutely delicious! We did a medium spice level on the Cajun seasoning on the Blue Crab and Snow Crab. It was the perfect level of heat for us. If we ordered again, we'd just do the Snow Crab just because there's so much more meat than the Blue. The boil came with corn, red potatoes and broccoli. We ordered the hush puppies to start. 10 small hush puppies came out piping hot in a basket with a side of ketchup. Crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Well seasoned and tasty. There was only one other couple in the restaurant. So, we were skeptical about what was "wrong" considering the empty dining room. There is nothing to explain why. Food was on point. Beers were ice cold and only $4 a piece. We'd definitely go again and hope more people do, too. Staff was lovely.

I visited the jumbo crab on a Friday evening around 6pm. I was surprised that it wasn't super crowded. We were greeted and seated right away. For apps we ordered the fried pickles and the mozzarella cheese sticks! Def a great price point for the quantity received for both. For my meal, I ordered a pound of snow crab legs and I added extra corn and boiled eggs. The pound itself comes with one corn and broccoli. I also ordered steamed rice. For my flavor, I ordered the special that includes Cajun, garlic butter and lemon pepper. It was very tasty and not too salty which is a huge plus. I don't like a lot of spice and went with the mild! I'll def be back to Jumbo crab again!

Me and my family love seafood and cajun style food. We are always on the hunt for restaurants that offers the best seafood for our buck. We have been to several restaurants, some good and some bad, but by far this is the most affordable of them all. The sauce they mix can still be improved. But the serving size and price i cant complain. Im definitely going back to this restaurant.

Fried calamari and Cajun fries

We came here on Sunday night, group of 3 and got a table right away. You only need to reserve if there is a group of 6 or more. We tried fried calamari and Cajun fries for appetizers and they were excellent. Then we got the weekend special with extra side of corn and green mussels. It was delicious!! My favorite were shrimp and green mussels. I would definitely come back again.

For me the service was too slow, we had a large group that arrived at 7 but didn't receive food & drinks until 8:30. Our orders were not brought out in order and you couldn't hear what the server was calling out. My appetizers came out minutes before my food, the lobster was a nice size but over cooked and no flavor. The sauce was on the shell but not on the meat. The 1/2 lb of crab legs was only a thin cluster and anyone that has had a broil before knows how much a 1/2 lb is. The drinks were $10 and watered down, several people on my group sent theirs back. The service was soo slow. We wont be returning due to seeing many yelpers having the same issues and their has been no improvement. It's too many other restaurants in the area that are able to do this the right way.

Had 2 lobster meal it was delicious came out hot Had long island it was also on point great dinner great my 2 complaints sausage are cut to thin so they were over cooked to owner have chef cut sausage thicker an inside could use a nice rehab place needs some upgrades.

So I'm sad because this is my second review. I was here about two years ago and my second experience was a let down. We ordered the seafood boil and the flavor of this sauce was over seasoned. I asked for the garlic and it was just too salty to the point where it was almost not edible. We also order fried shrimp and the breading on the shrimp was soft and under seasoned. I'm not sure if they missed the mark because it was the holidays or the regular chef was out but I will not be returning based on the food it was disappointing at best .

Ask the Community - Jumbo Crab

Are they open for lunch?

They open at 10:30 each day.

Do they have Korean Chicken as on their sign (the big balloon) outsude?

It is not on the menu, although they are quite accommodating so I would give them a call and ask. This it primarily a Louisiana type of restaurant with a small Asian influence.

The interior is very inviting, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's a versatile space that works well for a romantic dinner, a casual date night, or even an evening out with family. We were promptly greeted by the hostess and seated at a table near the front window. Our server, Naomi, welcomed us right away and immediately made us feel comfortable with her friendly and engaging personality. She brought water to the table, took our drink orders, and returned quickly with our beverages before checking if we were ready to order. After answering a few questions, we decided on the fresh oysters, four-cheese flatbread, and pork belly tacos. The oysters were served first, and Naomi took the time to explain their region and variety, which added a nice touch to the experience. They were fresh, clean, and nicely briny. The four-cheese flatbread was rich and flavorful, made with fresh ingredients that really stood out. We also enjoyed the house-cured pork belly tacos--the meat was tender and well-prepared. I requested the toppings on the side, which was accommodated without issue. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. The service, atmosphere, and food all came together nicely, and we'll definitely be returning again soon.

If you're a seafood lover, this is the place to dive into. Jumbo Shrimp -- A Must-Try! The star of the show was definitely the jumbo shrimp -- plump, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Each bite delivered a sweet, briny flavor. Whether dipped in cocktail sauce, buffalo sauce or plain, these shrimp were easily the best I've had in a long time. When they say jumbo, they mean jumbo! I don't think I've ever had larger shrimp. We also ordered lake perch, and brought it home for dinner. We heated it in the air fryer and it was just as good as the shrimp! Both were coated in a light breading, that did not take away from the fish, and fried to a golden brown. They have so many varieties of fish, that we will certainly be back again to try more. Final Thoughts If you're craving top-tier jumbo shrimp and seafood with fresh flavors, Frank's does not disappoint. Highly recommended for seafood lovers and anyone looking to treat themselves to something delicious from the sea! They also serve chicken, and have many sandwich selections, that I can only imagine are just as good! Also should add that the owners are so friendly and nice!

The service was extremely friendly and welcoming. Danae was our server again, just as she was on our previous visit, and she delivered the same excellent, attentive service. It's always a great sign when consistency carries over from one visit to the next. The Friday Fish Fry features four pieces of cod, each cut into roughly four-inch portions about the circumference of a quarter. This size allows the fish to cook evenly while maintaining its moisture and flaky texture. The cod is very lightly beer-battered, which we really appreciated--it enhances the flavor without overpowering the delicate taste of the fish. The standard accompaniments are cornbread and a lightly seasoned, fresh jicama slaw. One of the nice touches is the flexibility with sides--you're allowed to substitute fries and/or coleslaw for other options. I opted for a cup of the soup of the day, which was Cajun she-crab (excellent), along with onion straws. There are several other side choices available as well, some with a minimal upcharge. Our second experience was just as enjoyable as the first. We'll definitely be back--not only for the fish fry, but to explore more of the menu.

My wife had the lobster and filet mignon (medium) - the filet could be cut with a fork. The lobster tail was fresh, cooked perfectly, and outstanding. My Delmonico - a cut that you don't see too often, so I ordered it thinking they must really specialize in it - was over done (I ordered medium rare, it came out medium) and a little tough. Mr. Benny's is an "old school" place - and while restaurants like to claim that quaint charm, it could use some updating. What it really means is they don't want to spend money removing the million faux crystal lights, mirrors, and brass-everything, and change out the dingy carpet. It feels trapped in time, but not the right time; like desperately in need of fresh paint and new carpet 1987, not 1967 when it opened. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Notably, this place is in MOKENA. It would stand on its own and do well in downtown Chicago, and you will not find a better steakhouse in the southwest suburbs. Not Jack Gibbons Gardens, Cut 158 in Joliet is its equal but much nicer inside (albeit pricier), it's similar to Al's in Joliet, and better than Primal Cut in Tinley. I have been several times and plan to return (next time I'll get the lobster too!)
