First the bad... If you get the feast, be aware you need to peel everything. I do not like fighting with my food. Now the great!!! Service was almost perfect, much better than very good. Our server was funny, intelligent and charming. Everything, and I mean everything tasted superb!!! I got the garlic butter with medium spice - just perfect. read more

We went here for the first time to celebrate hubby's birthday and we weren't disappointed! Plenty of easy parking and fresh new interiors. Neon lights and wall art have a very Vegas feel. Our server Liss was very cheerful, friendly and attentive. Restaurant staff brought our a bday cake and sang birthday to make him special. We got their combo platter for $158.00 which had crabs. Shrimp and more shrimps( we replaced instead for the crawfish) lobster tails, sausage, eggs and lots more It is definitely worth it. You got us Rusty Crab Daddy. You will see us for all our celebration!! read more

The food was good, but unfortunately the service from our waitress, Anna, really affected the experience. When we found out the king crab was $99 and decided to change our order, she rolled her eyes at us. Also, the pricing should really be listed clearly on the main menu instead of a separate one. When we went to pay, she was again shaking her head and rolling her eyes, which felt very rude and unprofessional. We understand expensive items cost what they cost, but customers shouldn't feel judged for changing their order. read more

Never heard of this chain before. We tried them out in the days before the grand opening and just after they got their beverage license in place. My coworker and I ordered mixed platters. He went with the fried version. I had the fried rice, 4 piece tilapia and shrimp. Everything was really good and far too much food. My friend barely ate half his plate and an employee actually approached and asked if there was anything wrong. Nothing at all actually, except it was twice as much food as he needed that night. They've got lots of good options. Wish them well in their opening. I'd go back. read more

Awesome place! Cool atmosphere with all the neon. Service by DAE at the bar was top notch. She was in top of everything, also so funny and personable. We had the wings (good), crab Rangoon (good), and got a boil (shrimp, king crab, and lobster along with sides). All tasty. Not crazy expensive either. We will definitely be back. read more

Ordered the flounder basket and an order of crab cakes. Both were so delicious! The flounder was much larger than I expected and the coating was perfectly crispy. Inside the tender flakes of fish were delicate and moist. The crab cakes were delicious. The fries well seasoned. We'll be back again! read more

Really wanted catfish & shrimp po boys on excellent rolls!!! Fried oysters were excellent and had a crispier coating than southern style lightly coated oysters. I will definitely order again. Don't expect heavy old bay or cajun season to hide the flavor of the seafood. Hushpuppies are hard to get right and the texture was just right . Will order again. Saved beignets that were not greasy like some in a nearby town to south colo springs and the powered sugar was just enough and didn't cake up. Very good COS beignets, but cafe du monde is my fave. Going to go back for seafood combos and specials. Guntersville Lake state park lodge , and seafood shacks between Panama City and New Orleans near the panhandle are my favorites! This rusty crab is excellent and you should try it today!!! Service was friendly, fast , helpful with recommendations and accurate with complete order. Lots of seating for families, extended families, company galas or team building, band meetups in rear room or main dining room area with large comfy benches and spacious tables. Enough room for a large band or sports teams and families for a banquet , too. The air fresheners witb the to-go boxes were a nice touch . Some folks don't want the seafood smell lingering in their vehicles. read more

Brought our crab loving daughter here as a surprise meal. Service was amazing (thanks Abby). We got grilled oysters on the half shell and a custom boil with crab legs, shrimp and lobster. Medium spice. Absolutely amazing and enough for us to feel exceptionally full. We usually go to Juicy seafood but this might be our new go to. Everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious. Can't wait to come back read more

Alyssa was really helpful and food was pretty good and had good spice! Place has comfort chairs and good drinks.

Amazing food! Very large servings so expect that! The fried flounder was perfect and the shrimp and crab boil was amazing!

Good atmosphere, my server 'Lovely', was very nice and professional. I'm a big fan of Catfish, creole, seafood boils and this place had everything. I found out they just opened Feb 2026 and still working out Social media and what not, so I thought I would leave a review. Food was good, I got the fried oysters to start, the basket of catfish and the Cajun shrimp pasta to go. All was very good. They have a special priced lunch menu till 3pm, which I thought was a great deal! I've lived in the 80906 since 2015, new places are hard to come by. I recommend checking them out, great food and service! Gonna leave some pics of the menu and Lovely behind the Bar! read more

This place is amazing. Finally some competition for the only other good boil place in town. They were worth the 40 min drive across town. The vibe the lighting the furniture all new all great ! The food BIG Fresh and flavorful The waitstaff hands down the BEST. When it got slow our waitress actually walked my son around and introduced him to the rest of the staff who were all incredibly nice to him as well despite his bored 3 yo energy. Thanks rusty crab daddy see you again soon ! read more

Rusty Crab Daddy - Crawfish 3lb - Seafood Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Went in last night to get some delicious seafood after golf . I had the spicy Cajun style in my boil and it was delicious. The crab popped right out of the shells. The corn and potatoes were saturated and the spicy Cajun sauce, which was delicious. Also had the hush puppies and an order of the crab Rangoon, which were also very good. The managers were outworking the floor and it was really nice to see and helping support their team members. Staff were friendly, kind, and courteous. It's great to see new businesses on that side of lake and I wish them outstanding success! read more

The bartender Liss, was the best! Very attentive and had a great attitude. She recommended a drink for my birthday and even discreetly dropped off some free beignets for my birthday. However, it seemed like the staff is always rotating. I've been here a few times and it gets worse each time I'm here. I spoke to a manger named Jeni, who didn't know what she was doing and wasn't very nice to our table. Would not recommend. read more

We tried this new seafood restaurant just a few days into their soft opening. While a few things aren't completely ready/available, we got what we needed and were completely happy with the service, flavors, prices, and quantity. The Cajun shrimp pasta had just the right amount of kick, and the seafood boil ordered with extra sauce and spicy was perfect. Looking forward to coming back after the grand opening. read more

First of all, the service was absolutely fine. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and ready to serve. We ordered the mozzarella sticks (I know, don't come at me - we realize we were at a seafood restaurant). However, they were probably the cheapest you could get from restaurant supply. Even the ones at Costco are better than these. We also got the catfish platter. It was honestly the most underwhelming catfish I've ever had. There was absolutely no flavor in the batter. The store bought batter has more flavor than they did. The second worst part of the platter were the hush puppies. Also exceptionally unflavored, and it looks like they used a teaspoon size cookie scoop for the size of them. They were very small. The French fries were the most redeeming part but they still needed salt, which was not available on the table. We will likely not be back. You only get one chance at a first impression. As a brand new place, we appreciate working out kinks, but that's usually with service not flavor. read more

Rusty Crab Daddy - Catfish platter - Seafood Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Honestly, really sad. Service was horrible when I went on Sunday for lunch. Waited for 15+ minutes to be seated when it was really dead. Weren't acknowledged by a host or anyone for the first 10 minutes. Service was bad. Food, to be fair, did have good flavor, but adding more seafood options for a seafood restaurant would be great. Really disappointed. Ambiance was okay. read more

Amazing food service is great. Restaurant is nice and clean. been waiting a long time for this to open up definitely will be back.

Service was a little slow, and food was excellent. We had pasta, salads and gumbo. All very good. There was a mixup on one of the salads that was promptly corrected. We enjoyed the atmosphere. We were there for a late (after 9:00) supper. We would return in the future on another trip that way. read more

Outstanding service, thanks Jeni Great taste Great atmosphere Definitely a place we will be visiting again read more

Stumbled across a face book post and decided that it sounded like it was worth a try and we weren't disappointed. The ambiance and the vibe were on point. Loved the decor and the music. Just loved the overall energy. We ordered the hush puppies, a shrimp boil and a crab boil everything came out quickly as was very good. Also need to give our server Ruby a huge shout out for her excellent service. read more

Cayla was our server and she was amazing. The food was good. However the crawfish was undercooked (cajun family) The seasoning and spices were really good and was Very impressed with the Ambiance. read more

The vibe here was great -- the music, atmosphere, and overall energy were on point. Service was also good, and the staff handled things professionally. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the experience. The sauce itself was flavorful, but my crab legs were served cold, which was disappointing. It honestly tasted like they hadn't been properly heated before serving. I will say, the manager made it right by removing the item from the bill, which I appreciated. I just wish the food quality matched the vibe, because this place has a lot of potential. read more

Frozen crawfish nasty tast same with snow crab old tast was not good.wprst plase to eat.

We went to the newly opened "Rusty Crab Daddy" today and it was great! My husband got the seafood boil with 1lb of snow crab (they threw in a free 1/2lb of shrimp since they are still new) and I got the fried catfish basket. Both entrees were really good and tasted like it was actually cooked in house and not just bought pre-fried/boiled. We got the Calamari as an appetizer and it was probably the best I've ever had, the pieces were big and juicy. It was surprisingly affordable, our total was around $80. The inside looked modern with lots of fun signs on the walls and it looked very clean. The staff was very nice as well, our server, Abby was great! If you like seafood I would recommend checking it out! read more

We live in the area. We will be back, pretty much everything was good .... However, they need to serve real butter, not oil they say is clarified. I make clarified butter at home, and they serve flavored oil, it's horrible, but they can fix this. And their Cajun spice for the boil is way too much oil, and salt. They need to scrap that and start over. Did I say too much oil vs real butter? Teething pains, they will improve if they want to make it. Again, we will return after a while, the base food was good. Just not all the oil. read more

This restaurant opened right by my house so my wife and I went for the soft opening. Walking through the doors, it's so bright, I wouldn't expect it from the outside. We liked the neon lights on the wall. The food was delicious, we both had boil bags with crab daddy seasoning. A few items we tired to order were sold out, so we'll have to come back to get those crab cakes. The server was having a tough first night and unfortunately we got the tail end of it. It was literally the first night on soft opening so I'm sure that will work itself out. Luckily another server worth mentioning (Abby) saved the day, she noticed the situation and took charge. She was very fast to get us drinks, take our order, notify the manager and get that food in our bellies. The service after that was great. We will be back. read more

3/7/2026 Order: 1 Pasta and 2 Boils. The question was asked before we ordered, Do the boils come with eggs and sausage? The answer given was "YES". We chose to Order and Go. When we arrived home Neither Boil had Sausages or Eggs. What I don't understand is if those items are already included how were they missed, Not once but twice...? The Pasta was a hit. The food overall was a hit but was a little disappointed to be charged for items that were not received. Anywho we will definitely circle back and try again at another time! Clean and Nice Establishment. Customer Service was Decent as well! read more

Delicious Food have been here 3 times since it opened .Amazing service from karma :) Daughters favorite new spot.

Clean, well lit, good service and the food is amazing. This is going to give the other similar restaurant in town run for their money. Truly enjoyed it and I think it's well priced. End it with the beignets which is more like a Chinese donut but delicious anyways. read more
