    I came here for the first time, and I was blown away with how amazing the customer service is and the food!! Soo delicious. I highly recommend it. I had the pleasure of having Spasa as my server!! Spectacular experience, if I'm ever back in St. George Utah, I will definitely be coming back here!

    This is our second time here and just as the first it does not disappoint. The food as always is excellent , [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant is spotless with a nautical theme[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and last but not least the service is fantastic. Our server Krista was knowledgeable about the menu, very efficient and has a great personality. Krista if you read this the Xmas card will be in the mail! Highly recommend!

    We stopped in St. George for a few days on our drive to/from California to SLC and I read great things about Rusty Crab Daddy so we decided to give them a try. We went about 5 PM on a Monday evening and it already had quite a crowd in there. We were welcomed with a smile and promptly seated. We ordered a crab boil to share with an extra cluster of snow crabs and added mushrooms. The boil came with potatoes, corn on the cob, crawfish, shrimp, and crab and we chose the Crab Daddy special sauce. It took about 15 minutes for it to come out and it was delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has booths with paper lined tables as well as open tables and chairs in the center of the dining room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was courteous enough but did not go above and beyond for us as some others have mentioned about other servers, hence the 4 stars. However, the hostess/server was wonderful, she came by to check on us, and even went to get us a side of drawn better. We ordered beignets for dessert, which were okay, but definitely not the quality of café Du Monde. All in all we enjoyed our meal and when we are back in St. George visiting family, we'll definitely stop in again!

    FOOD the seafood boil is "light," so i wouldn't say there's a strong cajun flavor (despite being the flavor we got). i'd also say the same applies to the fries--they were just regular fries; HOWEVERRR, it was a good kind of buttery, so we enjoyed it :) ALSO WELL-PRICED BTW SERVICE there are a lot of servers moving around, but our server never forgot about us! so we were able to get everything smoothly AMBIANCE [[HIGHLIGHT]]there are a lottt of tables inside so no need to worry about that ![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] + [[HIGHLIGHT]]there's lik 4 tv's playing different channels, so i thought that was pretty cool LOL[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]ultimately super cute w super cute decor too[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I love Cajun crab boils and seen this spot on several trips to St George but was always hesitant trying a restaurant like this in this town. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. The service was top notch, from the moment I stepped in, the hostess was super friendly and seated me right away. The waitress was super attentive, checked in on me and refilled my water on a good cadence. The gumbo was tasty, with real crab meat, shrimp, and crayfish. I got the crayfish special which came with a cluster of crab legs, crayfish, shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes. I did the rusty crab daddy seasoning which combines all the seasonings in a hot level. Tasty, piping hot, good quality ingredients. Everything comes out in an inflated bag and the waitress shakes it up and pours it out onto your platter for you. Put your plastic bib on get ready to get your hands and face messy lol. This place would stand up against most spots in salt lake. Don't be like me and avoid coming here thinking St George can't do seafood boils right.

    Once again back in St George and out trying new places. My wife and the rest of the group wanted seafood and this place has it all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we arrived the lot was pretty full and we got the last 2 spots.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once we walked in we were greeted right away and a table was available. We were seated promptly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The table and restaurant were clean and comfortable it wasn't too noisy even though it was busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Bryden came over right away and got our drinks going. Shortly after we placed our orders. There was some confusion with wanting to sub out shrimp due to a shrimp allergy but we worked it out. It did seem off that you couldn't sub something due to an allergy but what can you do. I'm not a seafood person so I got some chicken and fries. It was ok but this isn't a chicken joint so I wasn't expecting perfection. The huge boils came out and were massive. There was plenty for everyone and nothing was left behind. Everyone really enjoyed all the different morsels and I don't think much was left. Overall the service was good as well as the food. We would definitely visit again.

    The Shrimp Special
    Lexi D.

    We visited St. George this past week and were looking for places near by to try. Saw the reviews on Rusty Crab Daddy and decided to stop in for lunch. It was the BEST experience all around. Food was unbelievably delicious, crab and shrimp were so fresh and flavorful. Perfectly seasoned! The staff, Kacey was our waiter, were phenomenal. So polite, accommodating, and attentive. Definitely some of the best service we've ever received. Our food came out fast, cups were never empty, and price was incredibly fair. Would come here again next time we come through Utah. Wish we had this in Arizona!

    Went on a Thursday evening and the place was packed. Still got seated quickly by friendly staff. Plenty to choose from including non seafood options. It would seem pricey but two people can easily share one bag of the seafood making it very reasonable. My son, whose birthday we were celebrating was very happy. The seafood wasn't fishy and the spice was great making it overall a great meal!

    Beignets
    Christi A.

    Outstanding service and fantastic food. We ordered the shrimp crab boil and fried flounder basket. Tons of food, all of it was delicious! Shrimp were large and well cooked. Batter on the fish was light and crunchy. Polished off dinner with an order of beignets. You do not want to miss the beignets. Fabulous!!! Service was outstanding and our drinks never got close to empty before our waitress brought another refill. We will be back for sure!!

    Lobster Special, wonderful!

    Spasa was the best waitress we have ever had. Very informative about the menu, service was excellent. Food was delicious and served hot and fast. Jumbo Fried shrimp is delicious and the lobster special was perfect. We will be back soon, hopefully Spasa will wait in us!

    Alema N.

    Spasa was our server and let me just say we haven't had customer service like this in quite some time she was extremely helpful and was so attentive to our needs! The food was delicious and she made sure we got exactly what we wanted flavor wise! Definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves a great seafood boil and the best server in St. George!

    How do you mess up a simple cocktail?…read more For the last night in St. George, we decided to go to one of my parents' favorite places. The food is great. Based on that alone, I would give this place a 5, but unfortunately, everything else was below par. The service was slow, as was every other restaurant in St. George. I ordered a Manhattan, and lo and behold, I received some type of smoked old fashioned. When I asked for a new one, Dom, our waiter, said, "Sure, but you'll probably just get the same thing." That surprised me, and I was like, "Go talk to the bartender and see if they can make it." But Dom was pretty certain that, I'd get the same thing. So I ordered something else, and it came out fine. Dom, while new, was not a very good waiter and could use some more training in customer service and in cocktails. His attitude completely ruined the night.

The chef came out and spoke to me which was a nice gesture and much appreciated. They only serve wine and beer. They have a nice selection of wines and I don't know about the beer choices because I don't normally drink beer. I would offer a suggestion for the music.

We were not able to finish as the butter was kind of making us sick. Dessert was ice cream and a key lime pie. The ice cream was good but the pie was kind of bland.
