In town just one night, usually wary of these type of gimmicky places but omg the cajun boil seasoning/sauce was fantastic, we ended up dipping our chowder crackers in it after the shrimp, potatoes and corn were gone. Strongly recommend and if we're back, we'll definitely be back. Other comments: - Service nice but slow - Corn not quite done - but still good - Skip the bland clam chowder. You get a bowl as a side, a cup would have sufficed. - Prices good for what you get read more

When you walk up to the door it doesn't look like much, but when we entered it was decorated very nice, was clean, and the food was amazing. Portions for price were great. I will definitely come back! read more

Ate my weight in butter (with a side of shellfish) and couldn't be happier. I love me a seafood boil, and the Cajun flavor is on point. Plastic bibs, gloves, and a shell bucket mean you're in for a good time! Crab legs were delicious, as were the crawfish--love the flexibility to do a combo and did another separate pound order for our kiddo. Easy parking hiding in a small strip next to Home Buys and Lowe's. We'll be back! read more

My first seafood boil! And I'm glad it was here because I had a great time with an old friend and her parents. A great dinner to converse over and enjoy delicious foods. We got the mr. Catch which had mussel, shrimp, corn, potatoes, crab, and lobster tail. Loved every component. Note to self: mussel was a GREAT choice. 2 of these was enough to feed 5 with a helping of calamari too which was also so good. read more

The clams we great really enjoyed them with potatoes. The service was not great very slow to refill.

I've seen this place for a while but had not been in yet. My neighbor and I decided to try it out and can't wait to go back. They had a great daily special that was a crab leg and shrimp boil and then also $5 happy hour drinks. The owner (new in the past few months) was very friendly and helped us make good ordering decisions. It's worth it! Go try it! read more

Just ate there tonight 01/14/26 The seafood special was excellent. Nice size crab legs and shrimp with delicious sauce. The best meal I have had In a long time. The server was also very good. Nice booths and tables prepared for messy eaters. read more

The server we had was great but they didnt help her with the large party. The owner calls back after after a couple people in my party gave a bad review online. He was just mad about the review. He was not calling to apologize. Said we didnt reserve when we did. People got food cold, late or didnt get food at all. He didnt even try to listen to improve the poor service. He just didnt like getting a bad review. I was willing to give them another try but he ruined it with that call. He tried to blame the service on the fact we did the reservation the same day but their were other patrons that had issues that were not with my party. And explain not wanting to refund someone for not getting their food. They never got their food and he wanted to charge them for it. If you can't handle the large party just say that before okaying the reservation. Owner wants to blame it on the fact reservation was done the same day. If that was an issue dont accept the reservation. I was never going to give a review until owner calls me screaming about the review that I didnt even write read more

The food was DEVINE and the waitress me and my mom had was so nice. I loved bite, 10/10 recommend!

The seafood boil was delicious! All aspects were cooked to perfection, and the seasoning blend was perfect. Our server, Mary, was wonderful and recommended the sweet tea, which was delicious as well. The ambiance in there super cool, and had tons of good decor. I would 100% recommend! read more

The server was great but should've had help for a party our size (23 people). The owner was rude and his customer service was horrible. They had our server bring out food in batches so it took almost 2 hours for everybody to get their complete order. One person in our party NEVER got her food and he didn't seem to care and didn't even want to talk to her about it, so after hearing she wanted to talk to the owner they finally bring her food out but she still wanted to talk to the owner so he finally talked to her ​and was not apologetic at all and just wanted to argue and refused to even offer her a discount or comp her food. His whole demeanor was just rude and wrong. read more

I went in with a large party for a birthday. The place wasnt crowded. A reservation was done in advance. Food took 2 hours to come out. The server was nice but they should have given her help with a large party. Some was cold and some people didnt even get their food. The owner, Abdul, didnt even want to refund the people that didnt get their food. THEN he called someone in the party to complain about him getting a bad review and that person didnt even do a review. He doesn't know how to run a business. read more

First time trying this place out and I would say it's good for the money. The amount of food (shrimp) I got was worth it but I was sad when they forgot my sausages and the portion size was small. I had gotten the house seasoning if I remember correctly I would say it's a bit on the salty side. Our waiters were amazing she made sure we were good and got everything and fixed the issue with my missing sausages lol. The vibe was okay but I they could do better and play some tunes especially on a Friday night. It doesn't gotta be loud but fun tho especially when I was getting some shots after my dinner. Overall dinner was alright and shots were good. read more

My husband has been craving a crab boil and we found this place that was only 20 minutes from our home in Anderson. I am SO GLAD that we went here! The decor reminded me of a restaurant you would find in Myrtle Beach. Our server, Jordan, was very sweet and our food came out quickly after we ordered. My son got an order of mozzarella sticks and hush puppies and my husband and I split a crab boil with mussels, shrimp, crab legs, corn and potatoes. We went with our servers suggestion and got to the Mr Crab seasoning and it was amazing! Everything was fresh and hot and we were so full we couldn't finish our plates. My ONLY complaint is that the bathrooms were not super clean I didn't feel like they reflected the rest of the restaurant. We will definitely be back! read more

Our first time and I will go back again & again. We ordered The Perfect Storm seafood boil and it was amazing! Food was excellent and more than enough for two. Everything tasted fresh & delicious and service was very good. Great meal for the price, especially for fresh seafood in Ohio. Atmosphere was very welcoming and staff were extremely friendly. We went on a Friday, around 7pm, and it was not crowded. Hopefully the obscure location doesn't hurt business. The trip was well worth it and we will go back again! read more

AMAZING Seafood boil for a deal of a price at this wonderful resturant! Pros: Price, Flavor, Freshness, Interior, Staff. Cons: None Tried this spot while out for groceries and I was blown away. For starters the interior (while not my style) was very well decorated, organized, and very clean! Our hostess was super friendly and spoke Mandarin with us, we got to meet the boss of the restaurant, and our waiters regularly stopped by to make sure we were taken care of with gloves, wipes, and anything we could need. We ordered snow crab during their BOGO deal as well as mussels and calamari. Everything came out hot and their custom sauce was my favorite. The boils was perfect where the potato and corn we super soft but not mushy. Crab came off as easy as crab can and the other seafood was tender but not chewy. For two people 3 pounds of seafood plus a extra helping of potatoes was satisfying but a little more would have filled me up so either go 2 pounds per person or add more sides. We didn't even get to try their special skewer BBQ item. Im glad to have found a true 10/10 experience and I am looking forward to going back with a big group. Total cost w/ tip per person $30 | Rating 10/10 read more

Good seafood boil place in Cincy!! Never tried a seafood boil before, it's really fun to eat and they taste delicious!! They were doing buy 1 get 1 snow crab legs when we went there that day. My bf and I order 3lbs of seafood (2 lbs of snow crab legs, 1/2 caramel, 1/2 mussel). They came with corn and potato. The size of the food is reasonable. And the quality of the food is amazing. Highly recommend to try their house sauce!! They also have some other food items other than seafood boil. Didn't try them this time but will definitely come back to this restaurant and try it next time! read more

I used to love this place but now it seems they have got so popular the food and service has become lackluster. They had a special going on but a pound of crab legs get a pound of anything else for free . That's cool but it's a Saturday night and they have two servers . We were seated after a 10 minute wait but didn't get drinks for 30 minutes after searing because there was too many tables and a birthday party going on yet not enough staff. Once our order came my shrimp was undercooked but by the time ther server came back around to ask how the food was it wasn't worth sending it back. This place needs to add more staff for busy nights or make customers wait longer for a table to ensure better service. It was also FREEZING cold in the place which was an uncomfortable dining experience. Please get better and go back to being great again ! read more

I used to love this place, but after my last visit, I won't be returning. I felt almost racially profiled by the owner and cook over a $3.50 egg issue, which was incredibly uncomfortable. My friend's meal had unclean clams and shrimp that had to be sent back. When the food was returned, the eggs were missing. We mentioned this to our server, but things quickly escalated. The owner brought out the cook--who came from the back with his phone in hand, still wearing cleaning gloves--to show us security footage of an egg supposedly being eaten. Not only was that invasive and unprofessional, but he then went straight back to cooking without changing gloves. We spent over 40 minutes going back and forth about the eggs, which we ended up paying for just to end the ordeal. On top of that, a young child was running around the restaurant and even seen in the kitchen assisting the cook--completely unacceptable from a health and safety standpoint. This experience was unsettling and disappointing. If I could give 0 stars, I would. read more

very good customer service. seafood and Mr. Crab House speciality boils are awesome.

Service was fast on a Saturday night. Quite reasonable as well. We had the Mr. Catch for $56.99 a (see my posted menu) we picked 1lb of snow crab legs, 1lb of clams & 1lb of crawfish with their popular Mr. Crab Special blend sauce which is a combination of cajun and garlic butter. It was good y'all! We also added some potatoes and sausage. It was more than enough for 3 person we even had some for to go. I also liked that it was served on a pan for easy digging. They also have beer, cocktails and wine selection. Happy tummy yet again! read more

This place got a full star for service and again makes me wish Yelp gave 1/2 star options because I'd give them a solid 4.5. I had a HORRIBLE experience with DoorDash so I ended up having to go pick up the part of my order they forgot. The staff at Crab House was excellent at remaking my order and even let me try their special house creamy sauce (which is DELICIOUS! try it). The Perfect Storm catch meal is HUGE and the food was well cooked. It easily could serve 2 people with lots of crab, shrimp and an abundance of mussels. The whiting basket was good, though the fish could have used a bit more seasoning. Inside this place is taking social distancing measures and wasn't crowded. The bar area was large they appeared to have some good drink specials. I will definitely visit again. read more

Excellent food and service. I'm always skeptical of seafood in the Midwest but this was delicious!

This is the place to go for seafood boil. The prices were acceptable and the food was good

New seafood restaurant in Pleasant Ridge is located across from the triumph dealership in an unassuming strip mall. As most odd "hole in the wall" locations are, this place is legit! We ordered pick-up via their website (I don't think they do doordash, Grubhub or Uber eats at least not yet) and even though we had a 30 minute drive home, the food was still hot and fresh when we ate it! We were worried that the french fries and fried calamari would not travel well, but that did not end up being the case. Here's what we ordered: Fried calamari Shrimp po'boy with fries Cajun boil with mr. crab's special sauce Fried calamari was delicious, crispy and on point. The shrimp po'boy was a bit of a disappointment for us- pretty small for an almost $15 sandwich and lacking in flavor. The shrimp were big and perfectly fried, so that was a plus- but didn't live up to our po'boy standards otherwise. I guess if you don't like spice this might be a good sandwich for you to get - but we wished it had sauce on it or something! If they aren't going to put sauce on the sandwich ok, but at least give it on the side for free! The Cajun boil with mr. crabs special sauce was excellent value and damn delicious!!! Totally exceeded our expectations and made us feel like our taste buds were visiting Nola. We also had a couple of days of leftovers, which was extra nice!! If you come here, make sure to get one of the boils! I think that is where this place really shines! read more

I absolutely love this place, and go often when I'm craving seafood boil. The atmosphere is definitely casual by design: the menus are paper, the plates are plastic, the glasses are mason jars with handles, and the napkins are supplied by a large paper napkin dispenser at the end of the table. But when you get into the spirit of it, you realize that the food is amazing. I love that you can get half-pounds of your choice of seafood, so I always get the crab claws and shrimp. Very fresh, with a taste I didn't think was possible this far from the shores, and the Mr. Crab special blend sauce is amazing!!! Plus a shoutout to the hushpuppies, which are always excellent. My friends got the baskets and were equally pleased. All with pleasant, relaxed, and attentive service. This is a real hidden treasure I urge friends to discover -- and they're always amazed! read more

Have come here quite a few times, dining in and take out. I think I would give them a 3.5 star rating overall. Overall, really good. With a little fine tuning I would have given them four. Mind you, this place can be a bit pricey but it comes with this type of food. The atmosphere is that of a standard seafood boil place. Pretty open with plenty of seating. The music is 90s to modern of adult hits. Social distancing hasn't been much of an issue despite how busy these guys are given the good space. The menu is pretty straight forward. A bunch of fried appetizers except for some lonely oysters. Salads with the choice of having a fried protein on top. Po' boy sandwiches. Odd enough, one pasta dish that has a mix of seafood options. Sides are, again, some type of fried option. I have really never ordered much of that above. I simply come here for the seafood "boils." The reason I put the boil in quotes is that I am pretty sure these guys rely on steaming. The process is straightforward including choosing ones seafood (shrimp, crawfish, mussels, clams, crabs, lobster) and choose a sauce, followed by spiciness. Portions are quite plentiful. The sauce options include a butter garlic, Cajun, or lemon pepper. The last option is a combination of all three, and is the only way to the go. So, so delicious. The drinks are just fine and include a combination of wine, hard liquor drinks, and beer. There is a good number of non alcoholic options. So after all of that one may wonder where my choice of three stars comes. A few things have caught my attention and deserve recognition. As I mention above one picks their spice level. As it turns out, yesterdays medium spicy is way different than today's. The inconsistency and lead to way too much or too little heat and can ruin a meal. At times, my mussels or clams are not opened at presentation, nor are they easy to open. I have pointed this out to my wait staff for the cool to come in and point out why I am wrong. Unfortunately they are just defending the either under cooked or inappropriately served shellfish. Simply take it out of the bag. I have additionally noticed that despite paying a decent dollar the mixed drinks can be inconsistently weak versus strong. Finally, at times staff, including those who appear to he owners, don't mask appropriately around patrons. Overall an outstanding experience and again I highly support and encourage people to visit. That being said a few thoughts above of things that can be approved upon. read more

How freaking fun! That's what I have to say first and foremost. We just returned from New Orleans, so I I debated if we should go here in fear we would end up greatly disappointed. We were not. We ordered the combo boil with mussels, crab legs, and shrimp. It arrived fast and fresh. We seasoned our boil with Cajun seasoning, medium spice. We left stuffed and very happy. Also, service was great. Our waitress, Brittany R. (According to our receipt), was wonderful. Pay her more! She makes you feel at home like your her best friend. read more

Mr. Crab House - Combo boil - Seafood Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

SEVEN WORDS: CLASSIC CRAB BOIL AND POOR BOYS, TOO. . Mr. Crab House is a fine mixture of Fast Food Bistro and Authentic Crab Shack. The entirety of the restaurant is laid out in a grid of 4-top tables, each one surrounded with comfy bar chairs. The room itself is open and spacious, but the noise is subdued. . We chose three 1/2-Pound Boils: Scallops, Head-On Shrimp, and Mussels in the Shell. Our order arrived in about 10 minutes - and it was steaming hot. The Boil included a handful of Red-Skin potatoes and a half cob of corn. We chose the Lemon Pepper-Old Bay-Cajun Spice Mix and it was more mild than most Cajun dishes I've tried, with a distinct lean towards the Old Bay, giving the Boil a more Italian than Cajun flavor. This sauce waa particularly good when mixed with the side of white rice we ordered. . It was a hearty servibg, easily enough for three. It was also quite tasty, the tastes of all three books mixing well together. . Only one tgought: for three half-pound boils, it would be been phenomenal to have three half-cobs of corn. Still, the total came to $48, not including tip, but including 3 drinks and 2 largesides (rice and Cole slaw). We all left full and content. $16 each seemed very value-friendly, especially considering how much we each enjoyed our meals and would certainly eat here again. read more

Mr. Crab House opened 3 weeks ago and what a great addition to our area serving Cajun Seafood. Just had to check it out. My Mr and I dined in on a Friday night. Very open, clean, and took precautions of the social distancing on the seating. The menu was huge and had a good selection. They range from seafood broils, appetizers, baskets, Po'Boy sandwiches, soup/salads, and sides. Lunch specials Monday through Friday. They have the alcohol menu but not yet serving it (awaiting liquor liscense). I decided to try the fried oyster basket (10) with Cajun fries (you can choose three different types of fries) and my Mr ordered the 2 piece Fried Whiting basket with sweet potato fries. Our meals came out in 15 minutes and I was pretty impressed. Not greasy, seasoned just right and fresh. The oysters were pretty big. My Mr really enjoyed his meal as well. Both breaded just right. Service was great. I can really see us coming back. I am interested in trying the raw oysters, broil combo and crab cakes. read more

Another seafood boil joint opens in the area! This time - Pleasant Ridge. (10/12) Their menu looked so appetizing online and as a follower on Facebook, I decided to be one of their first customers. I called in a fish po'boy lunch special to go. I arrived in the 10-minute timeframe they said it would take. The enthusiasm of the waitresses were at a high level when I got there and they were very friendly, but my order wasn't quite ready as it was rung up as a regular order and had to be changed in the system. The logistics revolving around the change-up shouldn't have taken an extra 15 minutes (all they had to do was take away one filet) but I was forgiving of it being their soft opening and they don't quite have everything in a non-chaotic, easy-flowing manner. My po'boy sat on top of my cajun fries in a cardboard box, with tomato and lettuce (no peppers) and a light orange sauce that I think went with the fries. I put it on my po'boy as there was no sauce on it, and also dipped a couple fries in it. The hoagie bun was the going usual size but my fish was a bit bland. With the variety of sauces and flavors Mr. Crab House has available I was thinking I'd get a cajun, old bay, or lemon pepper flavor on the fish or fish batter. Not the case. If you add all that bread to a bland fish you get a mouthful of nothing, right? The fries were run of the mill also. Nothing short of what you might be able to get at a restaurant food supply chain and make yourself. The decor is designed for easy clean up. Chris and his wife were also very nice. I was expecting authentic flavors but would like to give them another try in their seafood boils. Let's hope they don't rely on the sauces to drown out freshness. Remember seafood boil lovers, the seafood should be fresh and easily cracked from their shells, not rubbery and drowned in flavor packs, despite the trends. Why settle for less when the process and price is expensive enough?! Do I have to go to P@pp@de@ux to get my money's worth? read more

This spot had just opened recently and my lady and I had been curious to try it. We've seen their menu, loaded with cajun seafood options including fried platters and broils, and it all looked really good. So, on a Friday, we decided on a whim to go for it. Good decision? I would say yes! The place itself is bigger than I expected and has a very nautical vibe with loads of seating including a big bar area (unfortunately no booze yet because their liquor license hasn't gone through just yet). We were seated right away and our friendly server was with us in no time. She took the time to explain the menu and asked if we had any questions. We opted for two of the fried platters; my lady got the fried oysters with cajun fries, and I got the fried whiting with sweet potato fries. We hardly waited long at all before our food came out. It was all very tasty and not greasy at all. It was all priced very nicely too. Definitely a good new spot to enjoy for good cajun style seafood. I have a feeling we'll be back to try their raw oysters and seafood broils. Here's hoping they have their liquor license then so we can enjoy a couple brews with it too. read more

Phenomenal place. Total hidden gem. Great people, great food and amazing flavor full stop! Ask them about their daily special and their current BOGO offers.

Nothing light on the pour the night I was there... read more

Mr. Crabhouse has the family themed seafood ambiance. You can enter the establishment & take photos with oversized crabs and sharks. It's pretty impressive. Overall, I enjoyed the food I received. I ordered the fried oyster basket which was pretty good. I did feel like I could have used more than 1 small serving of seafood sauce. Also I though the fries were really good & seasoned well. I liked the Cajun seafood boil as well. It was good. I thought it was delicious. It came with tons of things like mussel, corn, crawfish and shrimp . However, I had to add on Dungeness crab because it's pretty tasty. In the end I would go back but I had food poisoning the next day. I think it could have been caused by anything I ate but I felt very nauseous. All in all the food was good. read more

If you are looking for the Cincy version of 'The Juicy Crab' this is it! I went here with a fellow seafood loving friend of mine. We both were pleasantly surprised that the food was similar taste wise to the popular Southern chain. I ordered the mix and match deal with 1/2 lb of crab legs and 1/2 lb of shrimp...we also added on extra potatoes and corn ($3 per order) and split it....because your original order literally comes with ONE potato and ONE piece of corn. The restaurant was extremely clean and pretty much empty for a Friday night...not sure if it's because of COVID or the lack of a liquor license. Overall, I would definitely come back again. read more

Mr. Crab House - Mix and Match--Crab legs and shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

We went here with a group of people, so I opted to not get one of the boils as they tend to get pretty sloppy. I instead chose a hibachi dish with shrimp, scallops, and lobster. Strange choice for this type of establishment, right? It was pretty solid, though. Especially the lobster; it was cooked well and had great flavor. The drinks were pretty stiff and were worth their price point. So, overall I was satisfied, but unfortunately... there were 5 other persons in my party. 3 got different boils, and none of them were crazy about them. All of them ordered different sauces, and none of them were particularly fond of the taste. 1 got a shrimp Po' Boy... and he wasn't a fan of it either, and didn't finish it. The fifth member also got a hibachi dish, but with chicken. He said there was nothing wrong with it, but he probably wouldn't order it again. So, definitely seems kind of hit or miss. On top of being in a slightly sketchy area. read more
