Great spot for seafood. I've had their hot lobster roll, peel n' eat Cajun shrimp, Cajun cheese fries, fried clam strips, and wings. It is all really good and their happy hour deals are also great. Service has been great every time I've gone in large and small groups. Gratuity is always included. read more

I don't know what happened. The food used to be pretty good. I just ordered the fisherman's platter for me and my family and it was terrible. The food was hard and tasted like it was burnt. $90 for the three meals too, definitely not worth it. read more

Great staff, the food is great and the prices are extremely reasonable. There isn't a ton of flavor in the cajun fries or poboys but the quality is all there just minus the spice. Super sweet staff! I'll definitely be going there again read more

My favorite seafood spot! The food and drinks are great and once inside, it feels quiet and secluded. Service is good and friendly but the automatic tip regardless of the size of the party is a turn off. I went with my best friend and we would have tipped regardless. read more

I was so so pleased to stumble across this jewel!!! I felt this was just what I needed when I wanted a seafood boil. It was good food with great portions and for a reasonable price. But be aware that the gratuity is included in your price, so once you get your bill it will be a little extra so have a few extra bucks to be safe. Service was good and the wait was really pleasant. You will love the drinks as they have the best drinks and selections for you. Seating is pretty good as well. Small bathrooms but clean I couldn't be more pleased with everything! So please go and check em out and tell them the Butler Brand Review sent you!!! read more

The food was excellent. The bill with a tip already on the it, and being sneaky with an additional tip spot- not cool. We were two people and would have given a bigger tip if one was not already on the bill. Mr Crab made a strong drink for my husband and my non alcoholic strawberry daiquiri was a nice change from my regular water or soda. To start off we shared a lobster bisque. Minimal seafood in the soup but what they had wad good quality and the creamy base - delicious. My fried shrimp had a nice thick breading, plenty of shrimp, good tarter sauce and coleslaw. My fries I prefer crispier. My husband went with a lobster tail seafood boil. The tail itself was on the smaller side but packed with meat. Minimalist spot with good food! read more

I came here Monday night an this is one of the worst seafood places I have every had i made three orders an there where no sauce on our plates when I ask for more the lady said they don't do extra but she can take it to put some butter on it smh the food was so salt and have no taste it was just a waste of money then they put tips on our bill with out us ordering that of 26$ and our bill came to 214 with out us add anything to the order the juice was a no as well read more

The food was not good . The corn had a freezer taste too it and it taste straight from the freezer . The service terrible , the waitress barely came over to check on us. She only checked on when the bill came. The restaurant forces us to do a 15% even though the service did not deserve a 15% tip . It deserves no tip at all. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ! read more

Service was excellent! Very friendly and helpful staff. Seafood boil was great!! Loved the seating, it was like being on a boat. Would definitely go back! read more

The Fish & Chips were great and plentiful! The clam chowder was one of the best I've had in Western Connecticut! Definitely going back!

This is my first visit here. Others in my party have been here before. I am giving it a 4-star because the service was a little slow especially with the drinks. Even the second round of drinks was slow. Maybe they were short staffed on a Wednesday night. However, the drinks were good. The seafood platter and the lobster salad were repeaters from others. They really enjoyed both dishes. The chicken teriyaki looked over sauced. The lobster roll was delicious. A good place for mid-week dinner. read more

We've been hearing how great Mr Crab is from so many people and finally checked it out and yup, they are right! What a hidden gem. It's great comfort food and the seafood boil was finger licking flavorful. Service was friendly and ambiance was fun and lively. Can't wait to return and endulge in the near future. read more

My friends and I got the seafood boil, which was our first time trying it. It was a good price and they gave a decent amount of seafood. Their crab seemed to be frozen because it was hard to get the meat out. The veggies in the boil were fantastic. Especially the corn! The clam chowder and lobster bisque were also great! read more

Mr. Crab Seafood and Bar - Seafood Boil - Seafood Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

First time customer for take out. I live so close and delivery was about 40 mins after order received. Ordered the fried oysters, lobster mac and cheese ( based on others glowing reviews) and coleslaw. Fried oysters were hot upon arrival-tasted fresh-battered perfectly. Pretty good. Great tarter sauce. First bite into mac and cheese-which was also hot- I was not blown away..kind of a strange taste..not at creamy, dry noodles, but I forged on. Found maybe at most a Tbsp of lobster-all in miniscule cuts, which were so dry and rubbery that I could not even say it was lobster. Definitely some form of imitation seafood-or dyed horribly old frozen lobster. Did not look or taste like lobster. Prices exorbitant but I was willing to pay the additonal $11.00 add on for quality, fresh lobster. I did not get that. Coleslaw was decent but would not return for this. I will not be frequenting this establishment and would not recommend. read more

Happened to be seeing a show in the are and needed a place to have lunch with the family. We happened to find this place that was not too far from where we were. We went on a Sunday they were able to sit my large group of 13 people. We ordered drinks to start. They have unlimited drinks for brunch but they also have a variety of cocktails. I ordered the drunken gummy bears cocktail and the Honey comb. Both were really good! For food I ordered the clam chowder soup, which I liked that it was not salty or too heavy. And for main course I had the Connecticut lobster roll and it came with fries. Good portions, the lobster roll was fresh and the fries were seasoned. Pamela was our server and she was so friendly, patient with our group and very helpful. She was the best and made our experience the best. I recommend this place. They can sit large groups, have really good seafood and awesome drinks. read more

The price was very affordable which was amazing when I saw how big the portion was. Let's just say I have food for days now. I was very pleased at how delicious everything was. Service was great and the staff was super nice. The clam chowder needed a bit more pepper and it was a little sad when I heard the staff singing happy birthday because they sounded miserable. Those were just a few things that may need improvement but iverall I'll still give the place 5 star because I had a great experience. read more

The seafood is not fresh and sides are mush. Crab seems unwashed with dark spots on the legs. Everything in a boil falls apart besides the unseasoned corn. The sauce does not come as ordered. read more

This place was not bad at all but we just stopped in for the first time for Apps in the afternoon so I do not know how they are at night. We had no wait and our food came out quickly. I say this because in a review or two I noticed people talking about the service being slow. It really wasn't when I was there. And everyone seemed friendly as well. I just got some wings and they were pretty good for sure. I plan to go back and maybe this time for dinner. I really did not have all that much to eat but I posted what I could. I like the atmosphere as well. It is casual but not to the point where it fels to casual..if that makes any sense. Anyway..it seems like a fun place. And the prices made it really worth it as well. It was a good choice and one I hope to repeat as I would like to try other things on their menu. read more

Check your bill. 1) Ordered a Mac n Cheese added lobster $9 on the menu, $10 on the bill. The amount of lobster in there probably amount to a quarter coin size of lobster. 2) TIP of 15% is mandatory?!!! I get it, everything is more expensive during COVID. BUT TIP is up to the customer. Mandatory percentage of tip does not sit well with me. The staff should disclose when customers sit down if this is how you want to pay your staffs. Overall the food is good. Mac n cheese is very heavy. read more

We have been here twice now and both times it was great. We went around 9:00 on a Saturday night and it wasn't busy at all. The waitress came and took our drink orders. She let us know that they automatically add 15% gratuity to the bill. That's usually a bad idea, as I would too more than that if they didn't. We ordered fried calamari and a spinach dip appetizers. The calamari was excellent. Spinach dip had a thick layer of melted cheese on top. Not my favorite, but others in the group liked it. We all ordered the seafood boil. We had crawfish and shrimp boils with the Mr Crab sauce, spicy with sausage. Yummmm! The sauce is so good. The crawfish was great. It's a lot of work, so I may try the shrimp next time. The two that had that said it was really good. It's comes with potato and corn. Wish I had more potatoes to soak up that sauce! Overall, service and food were great. We did end up tipping more and will be back. read more

Ordered lobster bisque, good flavor but I'm wondering was their Surimi mixed with the lobster meat. Lobster roll disappointing. Waiter person was also bartender and bus person. Resulting in poor service. Ambiance was good, attractive interior. Would not return. read more

Great chowder, the fries were perfect and the crab cakes so good! The service was excellent. I'll be back

Great expierence. Vacinity was well kept and clean. Amazing customer service; from the hostess to the busgirl. Especially our waitress/bartender Pam. She was very informative and more than willing to accomodate us with our needs(Ordered Hurricane without the grenadine) My husband and I ordered 2 hurricane drinks, snow crab leg meal steamed in the Mr. Crab Sauce(included potato and corn on the cob) with mild heat, with a side of garlic noodles. Our snow crab legs were meaty with the right amount of flavor. Topped our meal with shots, I ordered the Boozy Gummy Bear and my husband ordered the Cinnamon Toast crunch. We left so happy that we naturally gave Pam a hug on the way out. Mr. Crabs is now one of our top favorites. read more

We were pleasantly surprised by Mr. Crab because they get some mixed reviews. It's great for what it is; a casual seafood place. We had fried clams ( great batter) and lobster. Bib, lemon, lots of butter! Yes! It was perfect for that.... and a great martini didn't hurt. read more

Rustic decor and nice ambience. I had this on my list and wasn't disappointed. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure all three of us had what we needed at every moment. We sat at a bench type table with enough room to sit six adults comfortably. We started off with a side of clam strips. Now, I have been eating strips along time so I know when clams are great or decent. These had no real bite of clams and mostly breading. Was a little disappointed. They came in a cute fry basket and had a really good mango chutney dipping sauce on the side. I didn't taste the clam unfortunately . Hubby and I decided on sliders with fries as our entree. My girlfriend had the king crab boil with corn and potatoes. She loved hers. Big chunks of crab and good seasonings. Hubby had the shrimp po-boy . Three filled sliders with delish thick shrimp . I chose the pork sliders . Hefty amounts of meat inside with slaw on them. I would order them again definitely. The coleslaw with pickles on the side is so good. The Cajun fries were crispy and seasoned well. I will return to check out more of the menu options soon. read more

A little surprised by all the bad reviews! Went for lunch today and was VERY pleasantly surprised... a friend swore this place was awesome, and I only went because I trust him on all things food. I really don't get the bad reviews! Our waitress was fantastic, super friendly & attentive. We got the boil for 2 and added crawfish... so so so good! Definitely add the crawfish, they are bomb (and now that Black Duck is going downhill fast, I'm excited to have a new place for them!). We both ate until we couldn't anymore, and still had enough to take home for another meal. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu... but you can't go wrong with the boil! read more

I love Pam she's great the food is so good and I love the atmosphere . The flavors is fire they have good salads entrees and most Definitely HAPPY HOUR RHE BEST PLACE FOR IT !!!! read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while and I was highly disappointed. All I wanted was a good quality lobster roll. While the meal seemed like a good value at $22 for a good sized lobster roll, fries and cole slaw, the lobster roll was mostly claw meat with little flavoring. Also, the roll was excessively greasy and buttery for no good reason. It would've been different if it was a flavorful butter but this wasn't. There was so much grease it soaked all the way to the bottom of the roll and into the takeout container. Unappetizing and inedible, unless you like eating your way to a heart attack. And as someone else said, the website does say Mr. Crab Sedfood in the title, as well as other typos on the menu. Maybe these were my warning signs *sigh*. Almost forgot! As I waited for my take out order, on the menu in small print I read mandatory 15% gratuity for all dine in orders. What's that all about? I don't like being compelled to tip, especially if the service is terrible. Yeah, that's a no for me, dawg. Or as my friend would say, "Girl, bye!" read more

I'm surprised by the iffy reviews. We've been here 3 times and had a fantastic experience every time. The service was spectacular every time. Delicious food! Our go-to dishes are mac & cheese, white wine garlic mussels, lobster bisque, bbq baby back ribs, and shrimp seafood boils. We particularly like the Mr. Crab Special spicy sauce. It's not spicy, just more flavorful. Lemon Garlic Butter sauce is AMAZING. The cajun sauce is pretty bland - our least favorite out of all of the options. We usually get a 1lb of shrimp per person. Along with some sides it's usually too much food for us. We've tried other seafood boil places, like Sono Boil in Norwalk, and Mr. Crab is our favorite. It's a huge plus that they have a parking lot and despite always coming in on weekends we've never had an issue getting a spot. Very COVID safe - waiters wear masks (properly) and the tables with benches are spread out well so there's no concern of people being too close. read more

I would've given this place five stars if my order wasn't messed up the first time . My friend & I ordered lobster and shrimp Mac & cheese and the waitress heard " two Lobster rolls " how she heard that idk but the manager gave us a hard time when it came to returning the food & receiving what we actually ordered . So after 30 minutes of bickering we finally received our lobster and shrimp Mac & cheese I ordered the lobster Mac & both were extremely good . Other than that incident the food was great and the happy hour shots for $5 were on point . The two flavors mr.crabs had for the $5 shots were Cinnamon Toast Crunch and gummy bear . I would come back here again for sure I need that lobster Mac & cheese like RIGHT NOW ! Decor: very Nice I love the window seating Food :Bomb.com Service: pleasant and fast read more

What a pleasant surprise. We were really in the mood for seafood and this place delivers on all levels. The restaurant has 2 major dining areas, the area under the windows were too hot for us so we chose to move to the area which was a bit darker but had picnic tables set up. It was more comfortable and definitely much cooler. We ordered the lobster bisque and the New England Clam Chowder. They were both delicious, nice and thick how I like it, full of lobster and oysters. For our entrees I had the fisherman's platter and my girlfriend had the seafood boil with clams. The platter was just out of this world. The portion was huge with shrimp, calamari, clam strips and white fish. It was full of flavor and perfectly fried. The clams were just as good and the portion was insane. We are definitely coming back to this place the next time we are in the mood for seafood. A great seafood spot in Fairfield County. read more

I've been here a couple times and seafood is always fresh. After all the things I've tried... I'm stuck and order only one thing most of the time from this restaurant and it's The Peel and eat Cajun shrimp!!! I usually get THREE orders and that is all I need and am totally satisfied. I make jasmine rice at home to eat with it and becomes our dinner. Shrimp is crispy, sweet and full of flavor. Fried calamari, fish, clam strips and fried shrimp are also good. They're batter is very tasty and crispy. Must try this restaurant you will not leave disappointed. read more

Great food! We have come twice and enjoyed the seafood boil each time however service is not the best. Last night they forgot to bring our soup, the waitress never checked on us, and when we got the check we waited 10 minutes before just going up to the bar to ask to pay. Also- they ADD THE TIP TO YOUR BILL! I understand when restaurants do that for a party of 6 or more but it was just two of us and I did not see it posted anywhere. Makes me wonder how many people leave another tip without realizing. read more
