    Meme Mariee N.

    Very fun family/friend/kid friendly environment the boil bags are amazingly flavorful!!! I love seafood and I can I say I have great taste in food so if you're ever in the area or in from out out town please i recommend the boil bags....out of town visitors come taste Louisiana!!!! My favorite spice is the lemon pepper hot but what's popular is the HOUSE flavor which is all the spices so try it and leave a review or simply leave me a comment Thanks enjoy

    Boiled crab with potatoe and corn and sausage
    Benetta P.

    The wait staff was very friendly and professional. The crab, shrimp, potato, and corn were amazing. The flavor of the boiled entrees was finger kicking delicious. This was my first visit. I absolutely will be going back for lunch. No complaints only 1/2 pound of deliciousness served up.

    Specials on Tuesday & Wednesday. They clean the shrimps as in devein. I think its best to dine-in versus getting to-go to identify if, in fact, the hush puppies and sweet potato fries are stale in general or just right now. The discount card I referenced as a punch card... I was WRONG. It was explained to me by one of the owners...that the cards are for $100 checks to receive $10 off another visit. Chilldddd, that hustle as explained versus punch card + stale hushpuppies and old fries = 3 stars and a I hope it gets better. More like a 2.5

    With the current reviews, I was skeptical to come to Laughing Crab but I couldn't be happier that I did. Laughing Crab is in a strip mall and I almost drove away to find another place instead of going in but I figured I would give it a shot. Once inside, the establishment felt nothing like what it looked like on the outside. It has a fun, nautical vibe with decorations and a layout that makes it feel like it should sit on the water. For lunch, I ordered the snow crab cluster and shrimp combo for only $18. It was a steal for the amount of food I was given. Brandon, my waiter, was very kind and patient with my request. They have all sorts of different spices but I ended up ordering mild old bay for my crab legs and shrimp. Brandon brought me gloves, a bib, crackin' tools, and a shell basket before I got my lunch. He also brought tasty garlic bread that I nibbled on before my lunch. My food arrived after a short time in a bag - which I guess is normal but I'm from out of state so was a little confused. I dumped out my food and got to work on my crab cluster first. I dipped my crab in drawn butter and it was the perfect salty, spicy, creamy bite of seafood! Even the shrimp were amazing and I finished every one! I wish they would have had actual silverware because I like to use that as a tool to get into my crab legs. I used the red tool but feel like I could have gotten more crab if I had a regular fork instead of plastic. The food was so good that I may go back tomorrow for lunch. If I don't, I'll definitely be back when I visits Shreveport again.

    1 lb of king crab legs supposedly
    Bryan G.

    We started off with a dirty menu after the hostess dropped it on the floor, picked it up and didn't even bother getting a different one. Place is a dump, bathroom was disgusting. Smelled bad and not in the usual seafood way. Just like a dirty way. Food was overpriced. Ordered 1 lb of king crab and received two legs with a couple of small potatoes and slivers of sausage and a small corn. $50 for two legs is way overpriced. Would never step foot in again and do not recommend. Attached is the $50 meal.

    Snow crab and crawfish
    Kristy K.

    Y'all we have been here three separate times after the initial visit and it's been wonderful every single time. The food is always amazing and worth the price for the amount and quality you get. The hostess is always friendly and welcoming. Our waitresses have varied from fair to really excellent (which is anywhere really). I believe from reading the previous negative reviews that those people are ordering the cheap stuff. Yeah, maybe the fried baskets aren't great, but when I go we get the fresh seafood and it's worth it. If they had bread, I would have my plate perfectly clean. The leg combo ( 1lb king crab, 1/2lb snow crab, and 1/2lb dungeoness crab) is my new go to favorite! It comes with corn, potatoes and hard boiled egg! We LOVE this place and I hope they stick around for quite some time. It's what Shreveport was missing!!!!

    Delivered piping hot in a steam pot - it's an East Coast thang.

    One-Star Review - Unprofessional Conduct That Completely Ruined Our Evening…read moreThis review reflects my personal experience during a visit to The Hunter Crab. After being seated, my wife and I waited an extended period before our main order was even taken. During this time, multiple tables that arrived and were seated after us were able to order and receive their food before we were given the opportunity to place our main order, which immediately set a negative tone. Our appetizer (crab cakes) and drinks arrived in reasonable time, but the issues escalated with the main courses. My wife ordered two clusters of snow crab legs at medium spiciness. When the dish arrived, an entire claw was missing. The plate was taken back and replaced with food that was not what was originally ordered. Instead of medium, it was significantly spicier and caused discomfort when eaten. We have ordered this same dish here before and are familiar with its normal spice level. I ordered the catfish basket with Cajun fries. The fish was extremely hot when served, so I waited before eating it. When I did, it was overcooked in my opinion, rubbery in texture, and the batter separated in large chunks. My wife attempted to speak with a manager but was told no manager was on the premises. A bartender stated the meals could be remade and the bill discounted. Before that could happen, another male employee was brought to our table, and this is where the experience became unacceptable. Rather than listening or attempting to resolve the situation, this employee immediately became combative, argumentative, and dismissive. He repeatedly told my wife she was wrong about the spice level and insisted the food was correct, even after she explained it burned her mouth. His tone was confrontational and unprofessional. When he addressed me, the same behavior continued. I calmly explained the problems with my meal, and he dismissed everything I said, repeatedly insisting the food was great and implying that our experience was incorrect. At no point did he attempt to de-escalate, apologize, or show concern for the customer experience. His focus appeared to be on arguing rather than resolving the issue. Throughout this interaction, I was clearly wearing a combat veteran hat. This restaurant does offer a military discount, and it has been provided to us during prior visits. However, during this visit it was never offered or mentioned at any point, which stood out given the circumstances. At no point did we ask for free food. I stated clearly that I did not want my meal remade and simply wanted to pay and leave. As the employee continued to argue, I stood up to proceed to the register so we could exit. Despite no threats, no physical contact, and no aggressive actions on my part, law enforcement was called, which escalated the situation unnecessarily. When I began recording for my own documentation, the officers' behavior and attempts to block the phone felt intimidating to me, adding further stress. What made this especially upsetting was that the combined behavior of the employee and the officers made it feel as though we would not be allowed to leave unless we paid the full bill, despite everything that had occurred. In that moment, it felt as though disputing the charges or seeking further resolution could lead to further detention or arrest, which was extremely uncomfortable. What should have been an enjoyable date night turned into an overwhelming sense of disappointment. The lack of professionalism, absence of management, hostile employee behavior, and unnecessary escalation completely ruined our evening. We left frustrated, uncomfortable, and stressed, having paid full price with no meaningful resolution or recourse offered for the issues we experienced. This was not simply about food quality--it was about how customers were treated. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend dining here.

I also ordered the halibut special. It was buttery and nutty and amazing and the Brussels sprouts were perfectly salty and the potato puree and carrots made me more excited for Thanksgiving coming up! Hubby ordered the dry aged salmon special, which he also thoroughly enjoyed. He will be back during lunch sometime to try the fish and chips to see if they compare to his experience in the UK. He is dubious yet hopeful. Overall, great date night place!
