Let's be real, Greensboro: when the seafood craving hits, you don't just want a meal. You want an absolute feast, and Red Crab totally delivers. I've hit up both locations in town, and they consistently bring the heat. The customizable boil bags are the absolute star of the show. You get to play chef and pick your catch. I usually go for a mix of snow crab legs, whole shrimp, and crawfish. Fried Baskets: Super crispy catfish, tilapia, and jumbo shrimp. Appetizers: Start with the hush puppies or fried calamari while you wait for your main bag.The service is always fast, and the energy is super casual. Just put on the plastic bib, grab some extra napkins, and prepare to get messy! read more

I love red crab and I wish I had photos but I could pull up a laundry list of card charges for proof. This is not only my top seafood boil bag place in the city butttt this is also where I go when I'm craving raw oysters like tonight. My hands are always messy here so I'm never able to get photos but I don't think I need evidence of the glutinous activities I divulge in here. Tonight I had a dozen and a half of oysters for my starter with garlic butter and lemon pepper boil sauce on the side & extra extra lemons and let me tell you they did not disappoint. They're usually bigger but it is winter so I won't complain. The bar is always hit or miss hence the missing star and tonight it was a miss for me. I order the gone fishing fish bowl and asked for extra sour it was extremely flat and felt like it was missing something. They definitely didn't add the extra sour either. I gave the drink to my companion as not to waste but it wasn't worth it. For my boil bar I had craw fish and green mussels in Gallic butter and Cajun hot with a side of rice and eggs. It was phenomenal per usual. Very consistent and delicious. The restaurant was great tonight. Friday. On the weekends it can get extremely loud when they are doing live music. Those are my least favorite nights. You have to yell over the music to hear the person right next to you. But tonight the music was at an appropriate volume. ( at the point when the boil came out my hands had oyster on them but it was amazing I promise ) read more

I love red crab and it's many food items it is totally delicious different variations and it's many delicious flavors

We came with family to celebrate a birthday. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Our waiter took our drink orders and then our food. The food came out and the orders were all correct. My only issues are 1. The handicap parking is away from the door and the non handicap parking is closer to the door. This needs to be changed. 2. They only allow 2 - 3 checks per table. This needs to be posted because it causes confusion. We were a party of 17 and this caused a major delay in the processing of the bill. It caused a further delay in us having to wait on the waiter to process the transactions. We waited 20 minutes longer for him to try to separate the check into 3, than it would have taken to process our individual families. Then we had to wait again for him to process the 3 transactions. Had this been known ahead of time we all could have come with cash. Make sure if you come to this establishment to bring cash!!!! read more

The food and service were good! It was crowded l, but they got us in and out. They had a DJ and played a lot of hit songs, 80s, 90s, and current music. A lot of singling and dancing was involved. The next time I come back, I'll visit again! Oh, our server was a sweetie as well! read more

This is my first time having a seafood boil!! We went at around 6:45pm and there was no wait. We were sat down and our waiter was so friendly! He said if we have any questions we can ask and I did have a few that he answered well. For my boil I had the headless shrimp, lobster tail, and sausage with Cajun and garlic butter sauce mild spice. My girlfriend had blue crab and crawfish with all of the sauces at mild spice. I had never had lobster before I was so excited! Our food was out QUICK! Like seriously, we ordered and my girlfriend went to the bathroom and the food was back before she got back!!!! It came out piping hot too. I was not disappointed at all with the lobster tail, or any of the boil for that matter. My girlfriend and I agree that oddly enough, the potatoes were one of the stars of the dish, i don't know what they do but man they are delicious. It was a nice atmosphere, I was amused by the light projecting the logo onto the floor. Overall, I really like this place! The only complaint is I think they were having a staffing issue? Just seemed like not enough people out on the floor, we ended up getting another waiter (both were super nice) because they were spread thin. read more

First and foremost, I was extremely skeptical about dining here after it was suggested for the group. However, I was a team player and went along with the suggestion. This place is pretty spacious. There's a dining area and a bar area. We were greeted upon entry, and customer service was pretty good.  Again, I don't come to these places often. The prices were the prices, and it's seafood, so we already know how that goes. When it comes to the bags, you can get any of the daily specials no matter the day. You can add to it or remove it, but you cannot swap. They actually have a large menu. I ordered the Thursday special, which came with two small snow crab clusters and no head  half a pound of shrimp with the juicy seasoning, which is all of the seasonings that they have, which are garlic, butter, cajun, and lemon pepper. My spice level was mild, but it was pretty spicy.  The bag came with two corn on the cobs and potatoes. I added half a pound of pork sausage for an additional $7.99+ tax. I do feel as though the sausage could have accompanied the bag with the corn and potatoes. It did not take long for us to get our food. The snow crab leg clusters were a pretty decent size. The seafood bag was amazing. The sauce and spice level were on point. I enjoyed every moment of the cry. I wish they wouldn't also provide a cracker, however, after a couple of legs. I was on the roll. The only thing is that I wish it was cleaner in there; they had a couple of dead flies on the windowsill, which was disturbing. read more

The hostess was very polite and seated us right away. Our waitress was for nominal. Both baskets were served hot and fresh. The drink was delicious and STRONG! (SIP IT ) very sweet but powerful. Cootos to the bartender and thank goodness we were sharing. The ambiance was very pleasant and comforting. Plenty of tv to watch the game if it's football night or any other game of your choice. We enjoyed ourselves. Cootos to the chef excellent job . read more

Our server was really helpful, we were in town for the Junior Olympics and being a person who like seafood - seafood boils are my thing. The wait time wasn't bad for the food had to wait for the drinks about 45 mins but food came on time. Must say it was a bit salty and not like the others . In the sauce is in the bag but not on the food itself like the just boiled the items and dropped it closed up the bag and brought it out. I took it back to DC to doctor it up. read more

We got the lunch boil with shrimp and sausage. We ordered the shrimp without the head. Unfortunately, the shrimp had all the shells on. It was very messy and hard to clean.

We only had one downfall with plenty of good! Our only issue with our dinner was that our family felt like we had to yell to have a typical conversation. Besides that, everything else was great!

Definitely would eat here again! read more

the WORST restaurant I've ever been too . Very unfriendly guy at the register. If you don't have oysters , say so. they served up fried little balls of batter. no oysters. 68 years old been enjoying oysters all my life . The WORST OYSTERS ever. really BAD. read more

We have been to the Outwest several times. Our meals, prime rib and filet, have been outstanding. The prime rib was a nice thick cut and cooked/spiced to perfection. The wait staff has been excellent as well. The only issue is that we have had to go early to avoid the crowd. Anytime we drive by during business hours the parking lot is full! Nice atmosphere and superb food. What could be better? read more

The food was delicious everything was perfect. The best tartar sauce & hot sauce I have had in over 20 years. The Shrimp & Lobster was very fresh. Now let's talk about Tashia our waitress OMG 10 stars service the best customer service she was friendly professional courteous very impressionable. It was absolutely refreshing. I am in the customer service field so I can truly appreciate Excellent Customer Service!!! Tashia you deserve a raise and every time I come to Red Crab I am going to ask to be seated wherever you are serving Thank you read more

Whoever was answering the phone at 9:30 pm on 1/15/2026 had really bad customer service and was extremely rude which was unwarranted. The person refused to give their name as well as the "manager" on duty once I picked up my order. I usually have great customer service here but I was highly disappointed by the rude employee who "helped" me tonight 0/10. The manager on duty also refused to give the name of her employee answering the phone ... seems like they both knew a bad review was coming. read more

I love love love this place. I'm originally from Washington, D.C. so this is the closest I can get to going to the wharf and having a full on seafood feast on the dinner table! +the Juicy Special sauce is sooo good! If your gonna have this for dinner I'd make sure I've got some free time in the morning if you know what I'm saying.. bc everything is high in acidity with the sauce and everything. my goodness is it worth it tho! Pro- Pro tip: add boiled eggs, and steamed rice to your boil after taking everything off the shell and your left with this great gumbo goodness omg. Best decision all week read more

We had a great dinner last night at Red Crab. It was our first time and we loved it. We ordered the weekend special, hush puppies, and the crab cake appetizer to share. The weekend special had crab legs, shrimp, and lobster. The shrimp was the best. The crab legs were snow crab and just didn't have much meat in them. The lobster tail was surprisingly tender. We got the "juicy sauce", medium heat. Well let's just say I wished I had bread to sop it up with. It was so good. The crab cake appetizer was ok. The sauce had a pretty good kick. But I don't think it was worth the price Service was attentive. Can't wait to go back. read more

The shrimp with corn and potatoes were delicious z the staff were friendly, and the music was not too loud. However, the bathroom was not remodeled when the restaurant was remodeled last year. It is disappointing that the bathroom was not as clean as it should have been. Plus, the handle on the main female bathroom door is barely intact. I let it slide the last few visits, but I'm not buying it any longer. Fix that door knob! There's no excuse for it, especially when a lay member can install it. Purchase the knob from Lowe's, it's not a foreign part that needs to be specially ordered. read more

I went to the Red Crap on Gatecity in Greensboro NC. The food was good. I got the fried shrimp and Cajun fries. I was in a party of 13. Once the waitress came over, she said that we would be able to get only two receipts. Most of us were from separate households. And, some of us prefer to file or scan our receipts. It would have been lovely to know this beforehand. The waitress said she would send the manager over. The manager was not very professional. As she was talking, her tone of voice and nail clacking were rather annoying and condensing. The waitress was nice. I just really didn't like how the manager behaved and not being informed about the limit number of tickets. The manager is one of the main reasons for this rating. read more

6/27/21: We got our order via DoorDash which I usually can't stand because I hate soggy food. We ordered the fried shrimp basket with onion rings & the chicken strips basket with onion rings. That's it. The food WAS soggy, but I kinda knew to expect that. The food was warm when it was dropped off. My shrimp basket came with 12 shrimp and LOTS of onion rings. Had I eaten this in the restaurant, I'm sure I would've loved it more. They were juicy & I loved the coating on them. The chicken strips were bland and kind of dry, but my son scarfed them down anyway. My main issue was that they didn't send any sauce at all...no cocktail, ketchup, ranch...NOTHING! I needed that for my shrimp & had to eat everything plain. Next time I will make sure to note that on my order. read more

I love Red Crab & I'm pretty sure they love me back the seafood is fresh & good. The service is always quick & atmosphere is a vibe. The only thing that changed is the amount of sauce they give you in the bags. It's ok though I get a side of sauce all the time! Overall it's worth your money & time read more

The food wasn't that bad. Drinks very nice good price. The server was fantastic. It's a nice vibe also has a bar.

First time dining in since COVID. Good job with addressing sanitation concerns and social distancing. Quality of product has definitely gone down. Flavor of sauce missing the flare that had me visiting there weekly. Can't quite put my finger on it. QRC menu is general for all locations however not all items are available at each location. Very deceiving if you like to check out the menu before choosing a restaurant. read more

I came here while visiting my niece on campus at UNC-G. It's located about 10 min from campus and was easy to find. Simone was a lovely waitress and was personable, polite, and very accommodating. She helped us choose their Trey option, instead of purchasing individual combos meals. It was a great idea and it was enough food. The food was delicious! Hot fresh, and well seasoned. Simone, along with the quality of food that was served, made this experience memorable. read more

Red Crab - Greensboro - Tray A: Which fed 4 people. We did order extra corn and a cluster of crab. - Seafood Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Had a carry out order ... 2 Broils (1st: 2 clusters of snake crab legs, extra corn, Cajun medium. 2nd: 1/2 lb crawfish, shrimp no head , pork sausage, juicy sauce medium) and a side of Cajun fries Very very good. The fries were very soft and light battered so if you want a crunch don't get these but they were pretty good. The seafood was extremely good and fresh no complaints there I will say the juicy sauce is not what I expected but not bad just not spicy/hot how I thought. I would recommend this place carry out or dine in. read more

We were visiting from out of town and wanted a crab boil. We ordered the shrimp with no head, king crab, rice, and fries.

Not the best flavors I've had but good. We ate it all. read more
