    Another first time event here now. Have requested a 'build my own', of head-on shrimp, and scallops. B having a gumbo soup and salad. Coke drinks. A restaurant inside of mall. Not a food court setting. I like. Everything is very good and quick to our table. Maybe 5-8 minutes.

    First of all, an absolutely awesome concept for a restaurant! Second, amazing service from the staff. Third, the food! OMG!! I lived in New Orleans for two years, so I'm well acquainted with Cajun-style seafood. I had the Wednesday Special. One half pound of shrimp, sausage, and scallops with a half ear of corn, a potato, and an egg! All of it in a medium Cajun spice. Let me tell you, it was true deliciousness on a plate. I most certainly will be returning with friends whom I want to expose to some of the best seafood available. Wow, this is an excellent addition to the restaurant selections available in Lincoln. Oh, I almost forgot, a well-stocked bar to go along with it all. Truly outstanding!!

    I've been to Laughing Crab twice and really liked the food. I always get the spicy Cajun sauce. The first time it was perfect, second time it was really spicy. Not a big deal, but no one checked on us for water refills, which would've been nice. It's always pretty busy, and sometimes the staff seems a little overwhelmed. They do have a good beer deal, some days it's buy one, get one for $1 on canned beers. I wouldn't recommend the crawfish; both times they were kind of bland, like they weren't boiled in the seasoning. But the crab is great, and I'd definitely go back for that.

    My birthday splurge! Friendly staff, good food. We shared this platter and chose the house seasoning (a combo of all the seasoning choices). I like the ability to choose my own heat, and it was medium, as requested. The restaurant is small, so expect a wait on weekend evenings. They took our cell number, and we roamed the mall while waiting. Caution: Not a first date place! You need to own the mess. Plastic gloves and slop bucket provided.

    The crab was yummy and service was good. Getting the food was very quick. The seasoning on the seafood was well done.

    Definitely seafood that one cannot find anywhere else in the area. From seafood boils to sandwiches and reasonably priced

    Great date night spot in downtown Lincoln! We called ahead for reservations and really enjoyed the…read moresmaller, more intimate atmosphere--it was perfect for conversation and a relaxing night out. They do require a credit card to hold the reservation, which was easy enough. The waitstaff was excellent--very attentive, pleasant, and helpful throughout the evening. We went with the tasting menu, which made dinner feel like more of an experience rather than just a meal. It was a fun way to enjoy several different dishes throughout the evening, and the food was excellent. The wine list was also sufficient with some very good options. Overall, a great experience and a really enjoyable date night downtown. We'll definitely be back!

I sat at the bar and had phenomenal service. I got the Aragon burger with a tallow fries, covered in bacon jam! I will have to say, this is one of the better burgers I've ever had in my life. It came out very hot, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce is super yummy. But it's a grilled onions that really make it. The fries came out hot, crispy, and very tasty. This is a phenomenal restaurant with some very good food. Unless you're lucky you get a seat at the bar, I'm sure reservations are required.
