Wow just wow. I so so impressed with the hush puppies and the sauce! I loved the chili sauce…read more I ordered the Cajun Mac and cheese. The sauce is creamy not too sticky. My mother is from the south and makes homemade Mac and cheese. So I am very picky with my Mac and cheese and this didn't disappoint. The chicken was juicy and crispy. Good flavor. Hubby got the chicken sandwich, ate every bite. We order the seasonal beignets to go. Still yummy, but I think they would be better if we ate them there. Service was sweet and efficient. Ambiance was quaint, we ate outside. The sun was nice.

We ordered: The Pickle Gambit, Country Mac's Cajun Mac & Cheese, Mac's Famous Mac & Cheese, & the Cinnamon Roll Beignets. The pickle spears were lightly, yet crunchily breaded & piled high on a plate with yummy, dilly ranch & a second slightly smoky dipping sauce. Both Mac's featured perfectly-cooked shell noodles & decadent cheese sauce! The "reg" Mac had hearty chunks of bacon & fresh basil ribbons. The Cajun Mac was SUPER flavorful & had andouille sausage bites & VERY moist chicken tenders. The beignets were pillowy-soft & served with an amazing cinnamon sugar cream cheese drizzle.

TL;DR: Five stars simply isn't enough. I don't know that 10 stars or even 20 stars would be enough…read moreeither. I cannot believe I haven't done a review for here yet. AristaCrab has become the standard I hold all crab plates to. I am born and raised Oregonian, spending most of my summers and winters on the coast. I am very familiar with crab and yet, it took my twenty-four years to find the best crab of my life. Nothing compares to the freshness, the flavor, and most importantly, the AMAZING staff here. I wish I could give just the staff alone twenty stars. They are so friendly, kind, and informative. I usually get some combination of 1-2 crab clusters, corn, and potatoes, whereas my friends will get the same plus egg and sausage. There are different butters you can pick from and I usually get the garlic butter. Every. Single. Item. Is. Amazing. The crab is warm and delicious. The legs are easy to crack and get those giant pieces you dream of, which then you dip into the pool of melted garlic butter, and enter a dreamy food haze of amazingness. The corn and potatoes sit in happy puddle of garlic butter, adding flavor the longer you wait to eat them. The corn is perfectly seasoned and cooked to the point that it's easy to eat off the cob but still firm. The potatoes literally melt in your mouth. Man I was there just last night and I'm sad I'm not eating there right now. It is more expensive but quality, quantity, and experience are so damn worth it.

Two of us shared the Original with two crab clusters. Flavor was pretty perfect ("Original" which…read moreis Old Bay) a little less than normal but he added garlic. So good! Complaints: potatoes were not cooked enough which was a bummer. Finally, be sure to bring your own cracker and picker. They do have a disposable "slicer" but it didn't work well for me.

She took SUCH good care of us and was super knowledgeable about the menu items and market prices. We got our drinks within minutes and she made sure they were never empty. Not to mention, she checked in on us multiple times during our visit. I ordered the combo # 2 and added a Dungeness crab to it. That bad boy was FRESH. The whole boil was dripping in sauce, cooked perfectly and let me tell you... the Louisiana flavor seasoning is IT!! It's the perfect mix of Cajun and garlic butter. The main star was definitely the Dungeness, but the snow crab was a close second! The legs were a really good size and full of meat! The shrimp was great too! (I always get head-on) I left soooo full and satisfied! Overall, the food was amazing and the service was the best I have received in years.. We will be back soon!

Mixed Bag (o crab)…read more The food was almost all great. We tried garlic fries, salad, clam chowder, snow crab, king crab, and lobster. DS picked this restaurant for celebrating his 18th b-day, so it was disappointing that his king crab was twice as expensive as the snow crab and not great quality. Everything else was great - fresh, saucy, and well-seasoned. I liked that we could add potatoes and sausages to fill out our meal. The service was weird. Our waitress was really sweet and friendly, but seemed clueless. There was nothing on the table - no napkins or salt shakers or utensils. I had to ask for a fork for my salad, then for utensils for the crabs. The ambience was a mixed bag. There was a homeless guy next to our van and signs of a recent campfire. The restaurant was mostly empty, but they didn't offer my family a booth - we had to sit with our kids at a table in the bar. The lighting was good. It was very frustrating not to have metal forks and crab picks. It feels like a high end restaurant, but the utensils are cheep disposable plastic and there was a weird robot was talking too loudly in a weird high pitched girlish voice. The bathroom was really dirty. Overall, I would eat here if someone else were paying because the food was mostly great. For the price, I would want a few improvements.

They were out of potato salad. I was warned the burnt ends may be crunchy. However, when tasting them, they seemed very old to me, like sitting in the sauce for several days. The sauce accompanying them was far too sugary sweet and no smoke or bbq flavor. Beans also, super sweet and like warm. I couldn't finish either one. I love bbq and will try again. Just not anytime soon.

Amazing BBQ and owners!!! Caring for the community and customer service. Highly recommend!!!!read more
