    Didn't disappoint!! Shrimp (Head-off) potatoes, corn, crab and more... We shared between the group and every dish was delicious.

    If you love seafood and cajun seasoning don't pass the opportunity to try out this spot. Clam chowder was good but I've traveled around a bit and spotted. Delicious food and great atmosphere.

    The menu

    The location is great. It's in a busy shopping center near many other restaurants and stores. The parking lot is large and there shouldn't be an issue trying to park. The service was alright. It was nothing special to ride home about. Almost felt like our sever had forgotten about us a couple of times. Perhaps it was because they were very busy for dinner. They had nice music playing in the background. Our meal came out relatively quickly, I'd say within ten minutes. I loved the presentation of the meal, just a plastic bag lol. The real draw here was the food. Man oh man was this tasty. I almost wanted to leave a 3 star review but the flavor of the food is just so good I can't justify anything less than a 4. If there were half stars I'd even say 4.5. It's packed full of flavor but also not overwhelmingly spicy or anything. The corn was so good I think I might have to order just corn next time. I'm a big seafood lover but nothing here tasted extra "fishy" (those who know, know). The mussels were delicious, the crab legs were phenomenal, and the potatoes were cooked just right. I literally started drinking the sauce after I finished my food. The prices are on par for eating out in 2025. I'd say you can walk out of here for around $50 for a meal for two making this a $$$ for me. The service wasn't the best but the food was. I will be coming back. Bottom line/TLDR: AMAZING SEA FOOD

    I just noticed this place recently although they opened in 2021. It is located in the very busy Walmart shopping center next to Applebees. We decided to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary today by coming here for lunch. We were seated right away as they were not busy whatsoever. Our waitress was nice and explained the menu for us after we told her it was our first time. I was really interested in the AYCE because I wanted crab. Unfortunately, the AYCE only includes one serving of crab so we passed on it. There are many choices if you don't want to do that so we both chose Option A ($47.99) which included everything I wanted, Shrimp, crab and lobster with a side of corn and potatoes with a choice of sauce. We chose Cajun mild. It came out in this huge bubble of a bag. You open it and eat with your hands! We dumped ours out on the plate while I saw others just pick out of the bag. Luckily they supply you with a roll of paper towels, gloves and a bib. It is MESSY!! Was thankful for the gloves as I had a cut on my finger and those juices would have been torturous. It was tasty! I liked that it was just enough spicy but not too much or too little. Slightly salty. You got 2 half corn on the cobs and about 4 golf ball sized red potatoes. About a dozen shrimp. One cluster including claw of dungeoness crab. 6 oz lobster tail that was split in half. It was plentiful enough to satisfy my appetite but not too much to be in food coma. I ding a star for a few reasons. I didn't want to barbarian the whole meal so I asked for a fork and a knife. They do not have real silverware! just a plastic fork. No knives. I needed the fork for the whole potato and knife for the corn. I am unable to eat corn on the cob and need to cut it off so ended up giving this to my husband. Next time I will ask for all potatoes. Yes there will be a next time. The other reason is the awful music.... hip hop that was somewhat loud. We definitely rushed to eat to get away from it. It was unnerving. I suppose that is the audience they are targeting? I assumed it was a family friendly restaurant. Anyway, it wasn't enough to deter me from returning. I just might not hurry back. While I thought it was fairly priced for seafood, its expensive. $120 for two. I then saw a sign on the way out near Walmart advertising the Natomas Marketplace QR code for the center and they offer 15% discount for Mr. Crab along with other coupons for some of the businesses in the center. That would be helpful next time.

    Cajun fries

    Food: shrimp was good , cajun fries amazing and also cajun chicken wings is good. I love the special mr crab sauce xtra spicy. The only bad things were, the potato is extremely soggy, their sausage slices very thin!!! Like a pepperoni slices, Service: very nice lady. Ambiance: the restaurant looks very trendy. And cute

    Highly recommended by our waiter !

    It's definitely convenient being located in Natomas. They have a decent selection & our server Mike was very friendly.

    Combo B

    We ordered a soda and the Combo B with added sausage and boiled egg, classic Cajun mild and when I tell you this is the best seafood boil I've ever tried, I mean it! I was a little hesitant at first because someone I know said it wasn't good, but me and my mom decided to give it a try since we were craving a seafood boil. And didn't want to drive 30mins to downtown for boiling crab. We went around 12ish and only waited about 5 minutes. Our food came out hot, juicy, and smelling amazing. That first bite was everything! The seasoning was on point not watered down at all (like boiling crab) and packed with flavor in every bite. I definitely recommend trying this place out. In my opinion, it's even cheaper than Boiling Crab. We'll for sure be coming back soon!

    Walking in the front door.

    First timer here and it did not disappoint. I loved the vibe of the resultant . I felt like I was at Sponge Bob Square Pants house lol. Decided to go for the all you can eat menu. There is a catch to that however. First serving of crab is included another is a change of $18 for 1/2 pound. There was an abundance of food for $42.99 per person! 2 starters . 4 protein, 6-7 sides. UNREAL if you wanted anything like lobster there was an extra charge but the amount of choices you had for protein that came included it wasn't really necessary. No one was able to finish off their bag bc of how huge the portions are . Can't wait to go back ! The staff was hella friendly and attentive. If you go , wear your stretchy pants . You'll thank me later lol ^_*

    Food was delicious. A very fun experience. Unique dining with how you eat your food. A little on the expensive side but worth the time.

    The perfect place for a pre play bite or patio hang. Excellent happy hour, beautiful patio right in…read morethe hustle and bustle of mid town. I'm amazed at the quality of the seafood & artisanal presentation, on the happy hour list. We come for margs, blue fin tostada and the conceptualized tacos before our play at B Street theater but they have also have an expansive dinner menu i can't wait to try. All service is excellent, but special thanks to Noelia for her welcoming and kind attentions.

    We happened upon this great restaurant after touring Sutter's Fort across the street. Maddie was…read moresuper helpful, professional and courteous. I asked if she thought we would be able to receive our food in enough time to eat it in about an hour. She pointed out a couple of dishes that would take some time to prepare and said the rest would come out quickly. She checked a couple of times to make sure we had everything we needed as she wanted us to be able to finish our lunch in enough time. Now the food: Avocato Smash (guacamole) served with tortilla chips was so fresh and fantastic! The clam chowder was delicious as was the large portions of Caesar salad and Farmers Market salad. The Farmers Market salad was so flavorful that I didn't need any salad dressing. Crushed pistachios surrounded the edge of the plate. I couldn't really taste it, but not a problem. The guava mocktails were light on the flavor, but still refreshing after a long walk outside. I'm so happy we stopped by. Maddie, you're a gem!
