this place was so delicious, the card and lobster was cooked beautifully. Are server Gabriel was the best server we had in a very long time. He was efficient and took care us wonderfull. I highly recommend this place and ask for Gabriel read more

Server was great although it took forever because he seemed to be the only one for all the tables which was about 7. We got the boil added clams and black mussels more then half the mussels were unopened which we saved let them know. "We can cook them more was the response we got" If you know anything about shellfish you should know If mussels don't open when you cook them, the usual rule is: don't eat them. * Most of the time: a mussel that stays closed after cooking was already dead before cooking, and that can make it unsafe to eat. * Food safety rule: toss any that don't open after being fully cooked. So absolutely not and risk getting sick I complained said I want them removed do you think they removed them NO they still charged us for half when I had 14 mussels sitting there unopened. It was crazy do not come here the food is decent but they obviously do not care about customer satisfaction or food safety. read more

We have been here a few time for the sea food boils. We enjoy them with family and friends. We do not care for the crawfish mix but also wish the cajun seasoning had more spice to it. For appetizers we have shared the fried alligator which we enjoyed. I've also had the gumbo for days I'm not super hungry. The gumbo is not as flavourful either as other places and does not have a lot of meat just a few tiny shrimps. Wish it also had some more substance or other veggies in it. Not the best in town but it is convenient and centrally located for us to meet up with other people. Will continue to visit and I'll try more things off the menu and update my review as I try more items. read more

Storming Crab Albuquerque NM - Gumbo - Seafood Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This place was good but not my favorite seafood boil. I got one of the combos which came with a lot of food. However, I did not like the sauce as compared to other local seafood boil places. I felt like it was did not have enough spice. Nonetheless, it was good enough to satisfy the boil craving. read more

I did not look acceptable and look like it needed a good wash . You should pivot to another place if you want seafood. In my opinion.

This was our first time at Storming Crab, and my husband and I chose it to celebrate our anniversary, so we were really hoping for a memorable experience. The ambiance was lively, and at first it felt like it would be the perfect place for a casual/special dinner. I will say the service was good our server was friendly and attentive, which we truly appreciated but unfortunately that was where the positives ended. The food was extremely disappointing, especially the snow crab. Every single crab leg we opened had little to no meat inside, and if I had to estimate, it was about a centimeter or less. It honestly felt like we were cracking open empty shells over and over again. The shrimp and even the crawfish had more substance than the crab, which was shocking considering crab was supposed to be the star of the combo. For paying around $60 for Combo #4, it felt like a huge letdown. My husband and I were both incredibly disappointed, and upset about the experience. read more

We went a couple days ago...The owner was so wonderful and kind and I wish her nothing but the best but unfortunately, Gabe was the most uncomfortable awful server I've ever had in my life. He not only hit on me and proceeded to give terrible service after telling him I was married, he then never refilled my drink. I never had this experience with previous servers at this establishment. read more

My go to seafood place. Great service and even better food. Definitely recommend. Great ambience as well!

Yummy good seafood boil bag. Crave crab and crawfish and that's exactly what I got. Very hot and fresh, efficient service, and wholesome environment! read more

We arrived at the restaurant after 7pm on Christmas Eve, and the restaurant was closing @830 pm. Our server, ( I wish I knew the young man's name), had the best attitude and customer service I've ever received. This server made our evening great, especially since it was just about closing time and on Christmas Eve. The food was very tasty, however it was a bit "dry" since they pour the boil bag into the deep dish/serving tray and there was not enough of the liquid/sauce in mine. This was my first time here so I'm not sure if this was optional or not to keep the seafood in the bag or not. Driving up to the building , the outside appeared slightly unappealing as there was graffiti on the posts. Overall I gave four stars, mainly because of the genuine customer service from our server. read more

Storming Crab is delicious! It's a bit pricey but you can't expect anything else for good seafood in Albuquerque. The Seafood Boil was delicious and the seafood actually tasted relatively fresh, not frozen. The flavors were great but the service was a bit slow. read more

I tried this place again and ended up in the ER with severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, and dehydration requiring IV treatment. The hospital collected a stool sample to be analyzed and I'm in isolation. Can't eat and can barely tolerate water. I've gotten sick every time I've consumed food from this restaurant. Avoid this place! read more

Everything was delicious. I had the catfish and it was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed a Santa Fe brewing social hour with it. A five star experience. I've eaten this particular meal 5 times at this location and I've never been disappointed. Golden Brown every time. read more

Ordered Delivery via door dash and like they often do they forget pieces of the order, like the au jus for the prime rib. It's good food, but their inability to get an entire door dash order assembled means it should be reserved for in person only, where the service is at least usually decent. read more

Went to have a seafood boil and try a new place which can go either way but the experience was great! Staff was friendly and attentive. Loved how the restaurant was set up gave a fun atmosphere! And truly the boil was delicious loved the premade combos but also how you could still customize it as well as the bread being super yummy! read more

We had one of their boils for lunch. Everything was delicious but next time only getting shrimp and scallops. Crab legs were on small side so it was difficult to split open. read more

Oh this is heaven!!!! Great food friendly service! I didn't wait long for my food, service was awesome, and I got to eat twice because I had left overs! read more

My husband and I went on a Monday night around 6 pm. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had fresh oysters that were really large, served really cold and were good. Our main meal was a boil with lobster, crab & shrimp with the Old Bay butter seasoning - excellent . We got a kick out of reading the wall graffiti - relaxed atmosphere. The next time we are in ABQ we hope to go back. read more

The absolute worst. Cafeteria feel with miserable food. It was one of those places where you pay the bill and say to yourself "never again." Don't even think about it. read more

Walking in I thought I was going back in time. The decor is so awful we almost left. But the food and service more than made up for the visual tackiness. Our server, Charlotte was one of the sharpest and sweetest I've had here in ABQ. Her product knowledge and ability to find out what we likes and guide us to appropriate suggestions was amazing . And the food was great. The lobster bisque was very close to the best I've had in New Orleans. And whatever we had in the combo was delicious too. read more

Worst service ever. I was done paying for my food when I let the waiter know I did not need the check book back. He rolled his eyes & said "well I need your signature", after he said that, he threw the checkbook onto the table. That type of behavior from a waitress at crackin crab is insane. read more

i had great service, great prices & amazing management. I'll be coming back and recommending read more

Never again. This is the second time here and I chalked the first time up to an isolated event a few years ago. I ordered something different this time, catfish platter. The catfish came out fresh (hot) but was like eating a gummy bear. I have no idea how that happens. I started eating (fries were fine) and after the 2nd piece was also bad we decided to mention the fish tasted weird and gummy. They sent out another piece of gummy fish and we showed the server immediately again. The server was nice but then the manager never came over to fix the situation. My daughter had no issues with the crab boil, don't get the catfish if you expect it to be good or for management to take accountability for what they are putting out. read more

Great food and drinks! The sauces slap and service is fantastic! My water cup was never empty! It's a fun place to go pig out

the food is good, i recommend it to anyone who likes crawfish boils, and its a fair price for what you get.

This place is not as good as other places that have the same concept. The atmosphere was not comfortable. The restaurant smelled bad, worse than you would expect. And there are obscenities written all over all of the walls. The music they were playing had lots of bad words I like to be able to order food I don't have to use my fingers on. Like crawfish meat, and peeled shrimp or lobster meat. Everything here had to be peeled or cracked, no paying extra for the good stuff because they don't have it. If you're going to spend $100 bucks on dinner, there are much better places. read more

They don't turn the air on, you sweat while you eat. Regardless how the food is, it's an uncomfortable experience for the price you pay. It's not broke, they just don't use it they said to reduce cost. Freaking HOT! read more

Got to try Storming Crab last night. The seafood was fresh and and the seasonings were on point. Definitely go with the hottest flavor if you like spicy food bc it's based on east coast level of heat compared to NM chile based heat. The #7 is enough to share for two people. read more

Storming Crab Albuquerque NM - #7 - Seafood Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Sauce had no flavor, just butter, though I asked for old bay garlic butter. Also the crab legs had a weird taste, as if they were not fresh. Not to mention I also ordered crab cakes that did not come with the sauce. Just terrible all around. read more

The crab legs were flavorless. Overload of garlic but no seasoning! I guess if you don't like spicy food, you don't get seasoning. Service was ok but I was not pleased with the crab legs! read more

First time here so it may just be a fluke but it really wasn't for me. Nothing was terrible but nothing was very tasty here. We got the garlic butter sauce with mild heat Seafood Boil (because we had kids with us) and it was so bland. We ended up sharing a side of the extra spicy butter and it helped a bit. It wasn't like any of the food was bad or sour, just not as tasty as you would expect from a seafood boil restaurant. Our waitress was amazing though. We had a group of 14 and she didn't mess a single thing up. (Just wish the food had more flavor) read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. Me and my family ordered food and my two well raised sons went to the bathroom which has jokes written on the wall. They started laughing because of the jokes. THEN A WOMAN AND HER FRIEND WENT IN THE GUYS BATHROOM AND YELLED AT THEM. My sons then told me everything that happened. I talked to the owners there, and instead of resolving it they said you "you can't laugh a lot." I started arguing with the staff who yelled at my boys and they called my sons assholes. MY SONS ARE ONLY 12 AND THESE WERE FULL GROWN ADULTS CALLING THEM THAT. As I was talking to the the staff who yelled at my kids, one of the girls went next to my face and whispered in my ear "WE DON'T NEED YOUR BUSINESS." THE OWNERS DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND ACTUALLY AGREED WITH THE STAFF FOR DOING THESE ACTIONS. Here is a pic of the jokes so you know I'm not lying. read more

Our first visit to this Seafood establishment was good. The food was delicious. The tables were a little too close to each other but otherwise it was a wonderful experience. If seafood is what you crave, I believe I would recommend this establishment. My 14 year old wants to go back and try another item on your menu. read more

A decent seafood boil restaurant. The service was good and our server regularly checked up on us. The seafood boil itself was fair. The portions wee good, but the sauce was a little too salty for me. read more

Storming Crab Albuquerque NM - Dinner Combo #1 - Seafood Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This restaurant was a bit run down looks wise but the food was pretty good. The service was good as well. The server came by often. Not many local beers on tap but enough choices to choose from. They provide you with bib, utensils, gloves and tablecloth you can be messy with. I would come back. $60 for lb of King Crab, for this price I would try a fancier place. No warm butter or anything along those lines. Wait time was about 30 min for a combo meal. Overall, a pretty good experience for ABQ. read more

Shrimp - check, Garlic- check. Delicious- check. I eat a lot. This combo was more than enough for two who love seafood- and there's leftovers! The garlic butter (hot) was perfect. So. Much. Garlic! I'm a huge fan of different sausages too, and these were fabulous. read more
