    Quick summary: Decent portion size (2 catfish, 4 shrimp) but could've included a few more fries and larger fish sizes. Nicely seasoned Good customer service, greeted as I entered Ordered online and it was ready when I picked up Great price point! Combo was $18 Large shopping center with plenty of parking

    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

    Yesterday, my family and I visited Mr. Crab for the first time. We arrived between 1:40 and 2:00 p.m. I was actually hesitant to eat there because I had read several one star reviews beforehand and thought we should go somewhere else. Unfortunately, I wish I had listened to my intuition. When we arrived, the restaurant looked nice inside. The young lady at the front register was friendly, and so was our server. We ordered our food, and it was brought out in a timely manner. My family seemed to enjoy their meals, except for my special needs son. I ordered the chicken tender basket for him. While he was eating, he told me there was something wrong with one of his chicken tenders. My son is a child with special needs, so I immediately took a closer look. To my shock, there was a piece of wire sticking out of the chicken tender. I have attached a photo to this review. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I immediately called our server over and showed him what we had found in my son's food. He then asked the woman at the front register, who I believe was the manager, to come to our table. I explained the situation, and she apologized for our experience. I told her this was completely unacceptable and that we no longer felt comfortable finishing our meal. We just wanted to leave. She said she understood, took the chicken tender with the wire in it, and went into the kitchen. At that point, I was very concerned for my son. I took him outside while my oldest daughter stayed behind to speak with the manager. My daughter later told me that the manager said the piece of wire supposedly came from a cleaning sponge. Regardless of where it came from, it should never have ended up in anyone's food. This was a horrible experience. I understand that accidents can happen, but this was a serious safety issue that could have become life-threatening. Thankfully, my son noticed something was wrong before swallowing it. This was 100% preventable, and I hope the restaurant takes the necessary steps to ensure this never happens to another customer.

    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
    nita d.

    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 !
    Malibu N.

    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 ^_*

We got the "special" buy one pound get the next pound free so we did shrimp. We got shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, and dungeness crab with the special blend in one bag. The hook and reel special blend was honestly pretty gross it was sweet, Smokey and not very buttery or salty at all. We asked for lemon pepper and extra butter to put inside(which was an extra charge) it made it a little better but I've definitely had better elsewhere. The garlic noodles were really good they had a soy sauce flavor, garlicky and cheesy. The price was pretty expensive considering I've spent $30 less elsewhere. Here at hook & reel I spent $96 The service was good. She was very kind and helpful but also wasn't very attentive. The restaurant and the bathrooms were very clean. Overall I wouldn't come back and I recommend going to Captain crab in Elk Grove it is so much better tasting and cheaper!!

My fiance and I understood things happen; shortly there after I asked our server if we could get extra sauce in our bag but he said since the order was already placed he was limited on what he can do (mind you our order wasn't going to be MADE for another 40 mins) I ordered the shabangbang shrimp which came out within 20 minutes of ordering it. 40 minutes passed and my fiancés food STILL hadn't arrived to our table which then I asked Justin if we could just have his order bagged to go ONCE it was ready; which wasn't for another 30 minutes after I made the request. We went there in hopes of having a meal together but clearly that didn't happen. There was no compensation for the long wait AND they charged for the additional sauce that was added to our bag rather than compensating it due to the long wait. Staff need to be RE-TRAINED on Customer service; as well as time management because within the same shopping center there was the Boiling Crab To-Go store. So I don't understand how or why there kitchen was behind on orders for over an hour!
