Food was fulfilling hot juicy and delicious nice spot it's in the area of my descendants which is the Portuguese area of Newark so many restaurants.. but the service here is fast and slow you can order a drink at the bar and wait for food enjoying great music. The waitress do a great job it has a cozy look for some seafood beautiful place at night parking is tight it's off the street in a store row type position but cars are in and out. I usually order mines to go. Do enjoy the boils are phenomenal. read more

My friend and I were craving seafood, so we decided to try Red Crab Juicy Seafood. I'm not sure if it was because of Mother's Day weekend or if it's always this busy, but the place was packed with people celebrating and the music was blasting. If you have a headache or want to have a conversation without yelling across the table, this may not be the place for you lol. I forgot to take pictures because by the time the food finally came out, I was starving and dug right in. The food itself was good. I ordered the combination combo with head-off shrimp, lobster tail, and snow crab legs. It also came with one piece of corn and a few potatoes for around $40. The restaurant is BYOB, which is a plus. The downside was the service. Our waitress was kind of missing in action throughout the meal, and it was hard to get attention when we needed something. Overall, the food was good enough that I would consider coming back, but probably only for takeout. If you don't mind loud music and so-so service, you may enjoy dining in more than I did. read more

This was an unexpected Sunday evening experience. Depending on your vibe, I'm pretty sure this atmosphere isn't for everyone. As for myself, I highly enjoyed my time at Red Crab Juicy Seafood. My friend suggested that we eat here. When walking up to the door, it states a 2-hour table limit. I wondered why and found out pretty quickly. The restaurant looked clean, and we were seated right away. You can see the DJ with the speakers playing the best selections of past and present hip-hop music! Aye! The restaurant staff appeared to be nice enough to allow guests to get up and dance around their table and have a great time! There are also TVs to watch the game if it's on. It's BYOB! Yikes, we didn't know to bring a bottle, but that was fine. They supply the apron, wipes, and gloves. I had to ask for a crab cracker. For the appetizer, we ordered a shrimp cocktail that was okay. My entree was the seafood boil: Cajun mild snow crab legs that came with corn and potatoes. I added sausages. It was decent and flavorful. Next time, I would try the garlic butter flavor. This Red Crab Juicy Seafood on a Sunday evening was a cool and interesting time. I would definitely come back for the vibes! read more

Love the Crab cakes!! I have not had everything yet but will repost again!! Also the calamari is delicious!!

I'd definitely say one of the better seafood options in the local vicinity of Newark. The food always comes out as fresh, and the sauce options are good as well. The weekend special is moderately priced and the family favorite. A full lobster tail, with headless shrimp and about 1.5 clusters of snow crab, is enough to fill my brats and me. I favor the juicy special, while my brats favor the garlic butter and lemon pepper option. Good place. Good service. Glad it's local. read more

Love some Red Crab , pretty wide selection and GREAT pricing . You won't miss when you come here .

GREAT SERVICE - the people remember you! You get a GOOD amount of seafood for the price you pay. The ambiance is a complete vibe (they were playing Keith Sweat's video on big screen). The parking is plentiful. It's about a mile walk from the Newark Penn station. Looking to impress someone? Bring them here. read more

I tried Red Crab Juicy for the first time on a Saturday about 630pm. I did not know what to expect as I was craving seafood. I was greeted and seated right away. The server was friendly and attentive. The music is great just a bit too loud for me. Hard to have a conversation with your dinner guest and the waitress because it is hard to hear. I didn't realize there was no alcohol. It is BYOB. Next time I know better. The service is quick. The seafood is tasty and very fresh. I would just say the hottest spice needs a bit more heat and seasoning. I had the special Saturday bag and oysters as well as cajun wings. The horseradish was not that great though. Overall it's a great fun, music enjoyable Saturday. I would absolutely go back again. read more

Delicious affordable, although messy seafood!! Great daily specials. Don't forget BYOB.

Excellent vibe, great mix of music, and tasty seafood for sure, price is fair for the quality of food, don't expect big juicy crab legs, settle for small to medium at best. Our waiter blew his tip (the service charge) because we were celebrating a birthday and he brought our cake to another celebrating table (that table didn't even bring a cake), whether he was confused or it was an evil set-up, when someone says "I got you' most times they don't. He even argued with the birthday girl over this issue, for shame, I shooed him away. Although our table didn't get cake, nor was able to sing and dance with a DJ played hit song, like the other table, the manager comp'ed the birthday girl's meal, but left the service charge on the bill. Tip: cash is King! I could have accepted my food being wrong, cold, or tasteless and would have gladly still paid the "service charge' but he failed at the most important part of the service, 'bringing the cake to the right table. Please note, I didn't want him to put it in the fridge, he insisted, I gave a raised eyebrow, asked him not to mess this up and his words were "I GOT YOU' 2x and we were disappointed! The other table paid us for the cake and even gave the birthday girl a slice, lol. What would you have done? read more

Great quality food and very spacious but unfortunately they need more staff- took 20min just to get my order in.

I guess if you're just looking for some place to go real quick and have a bite or cool out for a bit the food mehhhh; they gotta do better to be better and maybe some thicker clam chowder soup or is extremely watery And no lobster bisque soup "a seafood restaurant" with no lobster bisque is crazy read more

Red Crab Juicy Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Ordered Lunch Ahead of time. When we arrived 15 mins later the restaurant was clean, empty and inviting. So we decided to dine in. The food was hot, fresh and well prepared. Bread toasted perfectly. Large fresh clean shrimp lettuce and tomato on my po boy. Huge pieces of Fresh Fried Lobster were used to make my husband's Lobster Po Boy. The sandwiches were shareable sized. I only which they had bar service or possibly a BYOB option. We will definitely be back for a juicy seafood boil. read more

Food was good. The vibe was good with a dj in the house and byob excellent Will definitely go back.

This seafood spot is a new pretty clean when you enter it. There is a lot of parking !!! it's in the old Pathmark circle on ferry Street. It was not hard to find at all. I ordered online .. I chose the snow crab legs and the lobster tail boil ;which came out to about $38 I also did the wings appetizer. It was not a lot of food at all I was slightly turned off by that when I took everything out of the bag ... The food isn't bad the sauce isn't too salty. This place to meee is expensive especially looking at the amount of food I got. But it was a clean spot. I would recommend going if you wanna try it because the food like I said wasn't bad it was regular sauce to me it was pretty regular but expensive... read more

Seasoning is salty and too much garlic, no spicy flavor. Food is overpriced. Oysters are too small and overcooked.

Best seafood spot in jersey so far 10/10 the service was amazing and the servers were awesome aslwell anytime i come visit jersey I have to go eat here because the food so good and not over cooked the shrimps are cleaned and cooked perfectly and it's not expensive read more

Finally found a spot that sells king crab legs and it did not disappoint!!! I selected 1lb of king crab legs, 1/2lb snow crab legs, and 1/2lb headless shrimps with the juicy special sauce medium heat. The crabs were hands down meaty and fresh!! It made that loud crack sound which tells me these were not sitting in liquid for a long time or overcooked. The sauce was on point as well. I think I should've just ordered an extra 1/2lb of snow crabs instead of shrimps because it was that good! What I ordered was enough for 2 ppl because the king crab legs were big and meaty! I hope this place continues to grow and maintain their great quality of seafood!!! Will be ordering again! read more

We dined here last week for dinner. The food was good - specifically the crab cakes. They had a DJ and the music was great. The service however was very lackluster and we felt rushed through our meal. It was very crowded and they didn't seem organized with the influx of diners. I don't feel compelled to return at this time. Hopefully they can iron out the service issues. read more

Thanks for seating our party of 20+ in short notice our food come on time and it was good

The seafood boils are SALTY & WATERY AF ! It not watery it's greasy !! I wouldn't come back here to save my life - the owner or manager with the glasses is rude and has a nasty attitude! First and last time !! The only thing that was good was the music the DJ played some good songs while I there ! Other than that I'll be going to Hook and Reel or anywhere but there read more

The food is great and the atmosphere is good it's BYOB that makes it great to go along with your seafood what you want.

The place has great service, the people were polite, and the food was really delicious!

I found this place by chance. I had to pick up my son from the airport and was looking for something different. I was skeptical at first but definitely had the wrong impression, this place was excellent! clean and no fishy smells. The food was 5 stars & the waitress was very sweet. I'm glad I live in New York or I would be there weekly. I definitely will take a road trip just to go here. read more

I'm with a party of 4 for the first time so we could try the food. When we get to the restaurant the music it's like a club it's horrible a person can't even ear the waiter or we can't even have a conversation with each other it's horrible and we kindly ask to low the music and the answer was we can't. They said it's is what it is. I wish I could make a video so everyone could ear the music. read more

Went to the Red Crab to celebrate my sisters birthday. We had no idea that there would be a dj......we love to dance! So we had a ball. The food was great!

We will definitely be going back. read more
