    Lobster shrimp potatoes corn
    Rayen K.

    I've eaten at Red Crab before and used to enjoy it, but this last visit was a total letdown. The lobster and shrimp were both extremely overcooked--rubbery and dry. The lobster tail had barely any meat in it, like it had been sitting out or cooked down to nothing. The sauce, which is usually the saving grace, tasted completely different and honestly not good. It felt like a new cook or owner took over and just doesn't know what they're doing. For the price, I expected way better. Definitely not coming back unless things change.

    The seafood here is soo fresh and good! Everything was properly cooked and my shrimps were just the right texture. Portions are good and Cajun Sauce is great!! Our server was very hospitable, polite and friendly. Seating was great and we did not have a wait time. I love the drink I got but I cannot remember the name of it lol! Sorry. The restaurant was clean and comfortable as well! It's a good place to meet up with friends, have some seafood and drinks and chat for a bit. Check them out if you're in the area y'all!

    Have been going here for years and will not be returning. Prices have gotten higher, and portions smaller. Why would I pay more than I used to for less food and seemingly lower quality crab? What all is in the photo is $40!!!!!

    Dang! Where has this place been all my life?! Came here solo because I was on a business trip in the area. I wanted something messy, buttery, seafood broil food and this was the first place that popped up on my Yelp. With their large parking, I was able to pull in with ease and it's hard to miss. I walked in and the host seated me immediately. I ordered a 1/2 garlic butter mild headless shrimp, with white rice and a Yuengling. The shrimp was piping hot when served. It was burning through my gloves but it was so delicious that I didn't care. Their white rice is definitely Asian because it was sticky (and I freaking love Asian white rice)! I complimented the manager at the end of my dinner because I was so happy with my meal. I wish this was a chain restaurant closer to home. Or maybe... I would make the drive out to Ocala again just for this.

    I was not able to find this on Yelp, so I am adding it for all. We ordered calamari for an appetizer and we have one twin that is allergic to seafood, so she ordered the chicken wings and the other ordered chicken tenders. My wife had the crab legs and shrimp (headless) boil - you can order it with heads on - and I ordered the Friday special: lobster tail, shrimp (headless) and snow crab boil. The calamari was decent and I didn't get a chance to try the hush puppies. Holy seafood boil, Batman! That right there is some really good food! We both got garlic butter sauce and I had the medium spice and my wife had mild. To. Die. For!! Seriously, I could eat here 2-3 times a week. The little mini lobster was decent, but the shrimp and crab legs? Just keep 'em coming!! Seriously, I can't say enough how good this was! My mercy, this is some great eats! Update: So we have been back almost every weekend since our first visit. I know it may sound crazy, but it's just that good! This visit we had the pleasure of having Sage, our server on our very first visit, serve us again. Just as she did on our first visit, she was fast and efficient and even found two little forks for digging the crab meat out of the legs. If you plan on going, ask for her section/tables. Another update: Red Crab Juicy Seafood: Alright, y'all...you have had at least a 2-week break from me rambling on about how excellent this place is - but that is over!! We purposely took a break just to remember what other food tastes like on our weekend nights out. We did some Chinese, we did some Mexican, some all-American breakfast places and tonight we circled back to see if 1) it is really as good as we believed it to be, and 2) we were just enamored with some place new and once we took a break it would just be "meh" when we came back. Seriously, the food here is just phenomenal. I mean the spice mix, the food freshness, the speed at which you are served - everything. We got the snow crab legs with shrimp boil, which comes with little corn on the cob and red skin potatoes, the twins got chicken tenders and wings and everybody loved it. It is not a fluke. This place rocks. And I would be doing our server, Sage, a huge disservice if I didn't give her huge props. She not only remembered us, but she remembered our drink orders, what we were having as entree's. She does an absolutely fantastic job each and every time. She ROCKS! Coronavirus Update: Red Crab Juicy Seafood: Carry Out version. To be fair, we live approximately 30-35 minutes away from the restaurant, so the food had cooled just a little, but we used the insulated bags from Sams Club to keep everything as warm as possible. That being said, AWESOME!!!! We got our usual order: 1 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of snow crab, garlic butter (one mild, one medium), 1 pound of sausage and an order of chicken tenders. Amazingly, everything stayed very warm and the flavors? Oh my, so delicious! It was almost like eating out...except we had our dogs hoping we'd drop something. Well done, Red Crab!!

    Pricey but worth it! The ambiance leaves a little to be desired but the seafood is fresh, hot, juicy and just gooooooood. Step one - pick your seafood or go with a combination. Step two - pick your flavoring. We picked all three choices! Step three - Pick your spice level. I got medium and it was tasty but not too hot.

    Actually 4.5 Skylar was a great waitperson accomodating & always there at all the right times. This young girl has the makings for a great career in the food & beverage industry. Clearly an up & coming superstar. Sean- See you soon! Great place with a full bar. Everything was sensational All foods a clear 10* except calamari was a 19* Downside no coleslaw, no salads Cajun fried not well seasoned. Frozen onion rings are a disgrace. Make your own, thin sliced with a crispy breading. Fried shrimp large & tasty.

    This place is great. I got the snow crab, shrimp and clam with all the seasonings and medium spice. It was fantastic. The sauce is great and was Fantastic for dipping the potatoes in as well. I would recommend asking for more potatoes, you will be glad you did. The service was great and the ambiance was casual and nice. Not a quiet place but not super loud. All around great place to eat. Highly recommended

    So far, EVERYTHING on the menu sounds delicious and the quandary I found myself in was that I was…read moreso pulled in a million directions on what I wanted to order...I just couldn't decide! We started with Carolina Tater Skins. Absolutely DELICIOUS! Potato skins with Roast Pork, cheese, bacon, green onions, topped with bbq sauce...cup of sour cream in the middle. Didn't last over 3 minutes for the two of us and there were 6 of them! They were THAT delicious. I ordered the Birria Tacos (3) with a side salad and my husband got the Cuban Clucker sandwich with a side of crinkle fries. We spoke to our waitress about how we had wanted to try their food for awhile now but just so happened to find ourselves about 1.3 miles from this location tonight and made the decision to try them tonight! She said they were best known for their wings and just how to get them. So we also ordered 10 wings done just that way. Our meals were brought not too long after we demolished our fabulous appetizer. Wow! Absolutely crazy good! I pounded the three Birria Tacos in record time, in between also demolishing my side salad. My husband said his fries were perfect and he's STILL working on that huge sandwich as I write this! Lol The chicken wings, while they looked delicious, once I tried one, there was a strange fishy taste that came across so strong on the wings that didn't have the sweet and spicy sauce on them, that I couldn't eat them. It actually made me gag. I just couldn't eat them. The waitress asked us how we liked them, so I explained what was wrong with them. She offered to have them remade but we declined. She told the manager to come speak to us about them. He was nice enough, but looked intimidated by us (a 61 and 62 yr old?) and kinda looked anywhere but at me when I was explaining what the problem was with the wings. He was said he'd investigate. Our waitress came back and asked if he spoke with us. I said he did. She asked what he said and I said he told us he'd investigate the problem. She asked us if he said he's take the wings off our bill and I said no. She said she'd take them off anyways because it was a whole 10 wings we didn't eat. I said, thanks but I'm not trying to get free food especially if she gets in trouble for doing that. She said but you didn't even eat them! I said she couldn't have paid ME to eat them! The taste was so gross I actually used a napkin to wipe the taste off my tongue! She laughed. We went ahead and ordered dessert to make up for the wings we sent back and then didn't want after all. The bourbon peach bread pudding turned out to be sold out, so we settled on beignet bites for him and Pecan Pie for myself. Both were EXCELLENT! WE will definitely be back to see our fantastic waitress Anna and to try more of their menu because they have some of the most delicious sounding entrees! All in all, we were impressed by the fantastic food (minus the fishy wings), but everything was fresh, delicious and very decently priced! Great place to bring the family because there's something for everyone here. Chicken tenders to burgers and all kinds of sandwiches, soups, salads, pasta...diversity without being outrageous. Great combos! Can't wait to try something else next visit! You know it was a great meal when your husband turns to you as you're walking to the car together and he says "thank you babe. That was really good!". 'Nuff said?

    I am so conflicted but I'm going to give it 3 stars. The vibes were all there! The decor, the staff…read moreand the atmosphere. What made me give it 3 stars? The over fried food :( The staff was very friendly and hospitable. The hostess nearly had a heart attack when we told her 15 people but Mr. Michael was more than accommodating and our waitress Destiny crashed out before we were seated but she was on it, friendly and attentive! She always made sure we were looked at and answered our questions. Alright the food ..... While for the most part it was DELICIOUS, there was some that someone back there loves to over fry the food. All of our sweet potatoes fries were burnt and had the taste of just used oil, it had no meat. The one that made us upset was the beef empanada, it came out doo doo brown and it was not appetizing. The texture was horrendous, no airy crisps to the bread and taste horrible! Even when putting the salsa and sour cream, the freezer burn and over fried cooking oil taste over powered everything. Destiny said that they didn't have empanadas ready and weren't expecting to serve a great amount... Whoever is in the kitchen then should prep and be mindful that a kitchen is a live operation... Gordan Ramsey would never. It was horrific and my friend still paid because she didn't want to complain, we ordered 8 plates of those and 4 were left over. Basically, your food could be over fried, inconsistent, served with no passion and over powered with raw oil.
