This place is amazing! Given there was a bit of a wait, however, it did not disappoint. My fiancee and I had a dozen oysters that were so fresh. Delicious. We also ordered the number 4 dinner combo and it was just spectacular. Great flavors. The staff was great and very prompt. Very clean area as well. Just all around a great spot for great seafood. Totally worth the price and wait as well. We will be coming back again and recommending others as well. read more

The staff and food was amazing. The atmosphere was great. Our server did a great job. We were there with some friends who have been to places like this down south and they said this place was a good comparison. But the cost was a lot more. Shipping that much seafood has to cost a lot though. Would definitely go back. read more

Never had cajun boil before, and man, we were not disappointed. It was superb. So much fun, a little messy, but such an adventure. We'll be back very soon. read more

Had the jalapeño poppers and sent them back, not good. Everything else was great unfortunately its very overpriced.

Loved this place. My Grandma used to make seafood boils when I was younger and it was like taking a trip to the past. Somewhat pricy, but worth it for a nice night out. Will come back read more

I love seafood!! I do not think I can say this enough. And out of all the places I have tried in the area this is the bes by far.

Spent a nice evening with the husband and friends. The waiter was nice until he assumed our friend (who was on a date with a female) was gay. After the server snatched our money he came back and began to preach at us about how being gay was wrong. The meal was fabulous like always but the service was not so great and may deter us from coming back. read more

Came here with my daughter and it was an overall good experience. We made a mess in the table and drew in the walls, she had a blast. We ordered the Cajun seasoning and it was very flavorful read more

There food was not good chunky meat and half way cooked food overall the ice cream was amazing

When we walked in there was writing all over the walls. My vegetarian sister ate garlic bread with meat in it and they didn't tell us it had meat in it on the menu. I got 3 crabs in all the size of the meat I got out of them was the size of one piece of a steak my brother got food poisoning and I nearly threw up from the crab read more

The service was amazing and great atmosphere! I've only visited seafood spots like this down south or on the coast so my taste just requires more flavor and seasoning than this recipe had to offer. I still recommend trying it :) read more

Not very happy with my experience here, I'm from out of state and LOVE seafood! My family and I decided tonight that we would try this place out while visiting. Ordered our food, which was great, my 5 yo needed to use the restroom, we got up to do so and upon returning our entire table was cleaned up by the lady bussing the tables. My waiter did nothing to accommodate and all the girl that cleaned it up offered to replace my drinks, that's it!. Beyond upset that I still had to pay full price for a meal I did not get to enjoy. I will be contacting my bank for a full refund to my account. Unacceptable! read more

Waited over an hour for fried alligator And Cajun friesThe couple that was with us they got their food in about 30 minutes and we're finished by the time I got mine Called manager over all he told me was problems with the the fryer Ask for a discount said can't do it poor service and alligator portion was enough for a kiddie meal read more

This place was amazing. Met my expectations server was great, there was no wait time. Our server explained everything and was very nice. Prices were reasonable for what we got. read more

Really enjoyed my meal. The entrees are more than enough for two people. The waitress didn't explain this and we ended up getting two big meals. The food was amazing the service was good. read more

We took a party of 12 in here for a birthday celebration. This was a big mistake. This was our first visit here, and my last. Three of us shared one of the boils and were very satisfied. We had 5 children with us and they were ok as well. Several got the cod baskets and they were just ok. A little dry and too much batter. But my big complaint was with the billing and tipping. Signs everywhere alerted that they would automatically add an 18% gratuity for party's larger than 7. I'm cool with that, but the waitress told me up front that tip was to cover the additional set up and bussing required by the larger group. She would get none of that. When she brought the bill, as expected, it included an 18% tip. She made another point of saying she would see none of that and for me to circle the amount of tip I wanted to add. She was a very attentive waitress and I didn't want to stiff her. So my final cost included nearly a 40% tip. I hope this doesn't become a standard in the industry. We love to eat out as a family. I felt we were penalized for that at this restaurant. read more

This is probably an unfair rating. I mean the food was decent. I'm married to a Cajun and lived in SW Louisiana over a decade, it's just not CAJUN food. Call it Storming Crab Seafood Steamer I'm good with that, but Cajun it's not. read more

Was very excited to try this place out. I was in town for my daughters homecoming and arrived to the restaurant around 9:00, we were told there would be ~30 minute wait. No problem! We waited and made it to our table by 9:15-9:20PM. We ordered 2 basic combos and fried clam strips at 9:30. We received our appetizer around 9:45. By 10:50 we were sitting and still waiting on our food. In the over hour and 20 minutes we were told 5 times our food would be right out and all 6 tables around us that came in and were seated after us were finishing up their meals or packing up to pay and leave. Needless to say I was a very hot first time customer. The food was ok but not worth waiting for almost 2 hours for! The manager was very apologetic and took off $30 from my $130 bill but do not go there unless you have a solid 3-3.5 hours to wait to be seated, order and wait for food and then to eat at a normal pace. This establishment won't last unless they address the service. Hope this was helpful. read more

The 2 stars is more for the service than the food. We went on a Sunday night and it was quite busy, but it must have been all larger parties, because my party of 3 went past everyone and was seated right away. So far, so good. We have not been to any restaurant with this kind of food, so we need some time to peruse the menu. The waitress said she would give us some time. Boy, did she give us time. We closed our menus after a bit to show her we were ready to order - it was a pretty long time. The food was fine. Seafood is not my thing so I ordered the fried shrimp. It was good - not the best I've ever had. My husband had the clam chowder, and again, it was good but not fantastic. My son had the whole lobster, and he liked it, but wouldn't order it again - not that special. The service is where our visit was lacking. Not very personable, and we had to ask for drink refills after they sat empty for quite awhile, and we also needed more ketchup. Our server kept disappearing - it was a long wait between ordering, food, getting refills (finally!) and getting the check. We will probably go back, but - sorry - it didn't rock my world :) read more

I'm going to start by saying I was very disappointed by Storming Crab. Upon Arrival, I had never heard of the restaurant and expected it to be similar to Red Lobster. When walking inside, I immediately noticed how loud it was and how close together each table was; this contrasts to the easy going, quiet environment that Red Lobster gives. After sitting at our tables, we were given the worst waiter I've ever had. He had AirPods in and was listening (and humming) along to music. I could also barely understand what he was saying due to the extremely loud atmosphere. Our waiter had no advise when we asked him what to get and never even made eye contact with me. I had come for seafood, so that's what I ordered. The food, I will say, was very delicious. It came with a variety of seafood and tasted amazing. This being said, the entire meal was over $100 for two people. This is something that was very jarring when I saw it. The entire menu has mid-tier prices, but their seafood is incredibly pricey. In the end, the decor and atmosphere of Storming Crab was bad, the service was awful, and the prices were very inconvenient and not worth what we got. I suggest anyone looking for good seafood just heads to Red Lobster or a good local place. read more

I went to this business June 11th 2021 worst Seafood I have ever had in my life I ordered the clams half of them were unopened and half of the ones that open were so full of sand that wasn't funny manager did not care at all I will never be back this was my first time there diners be where it is terrible food read more

A seafood restaurant in northern Indian is a bit of a risk, and this didn't measure up to what we have enjoyed in New England or New Orleans. But it wasn't bad, and was definitely fun and a change or pace. 3 of us shared a #3 platter -- Lobster/clams/crawfish/sausage/potato/corn -- and had plenty to eat with no left-overs. (2 females, 1 male, not huge eaters). If there is a next time, I probably won't do the combo platter, but will put together our own or order an individual basket. read more

Horrible, do not buy into the hype it is far from good I got the seafood boil and my potatoes tasted old and the crab meat was mushy. I tried this place a second time in ordered the calamari and the batter was far from crispy. Waste of money trust me. read more

My parents brought me here for my 50th birthday and after we were seated 10 minutes to by. Plenty of staff around the bar area; however, no one acknowledged us UNTIL I asked for someone to wait on us. My mom and I had the cod basket and we both agreed the fries were fabulous the cod not so much. We've gotten better service and cod at cracker barrel. The tarter sauce looked like mayonnaise. In fact my mom said why did they give me a cup of mayonnaise. The jalapeno bites/poppers were awful. It was a cheap cheddar cheese and not cream cheese. We should have tried the hush puppies. Everything is disposable cups are paper. The service wasn't great. We did get a free sample of the garlic bread with cheese which was nice but it was really greasy. Personally I would be surprised if they last long. Unimpressed and really not picky. We went in with an open mind and were disappointed. We also saw people leaving after looking at the menu, heard the server say guess they saw the prices and left. read more

Fried Food pretty much tastes all the same. Cheese bread was good. It maybe just us, but the soft shell crab was unpleasant at best. In all, a really expensive lunch for exceedingly average fried food. read more

I like this place but a little expensive on the crab legs and a little place for such a welcoming crowd, need more room. Also to many employees upfront for no reason, the bar behind is always crowded. read more

Brand new place in Fort Wayne we thought we would try. I mean Cajun seafood, you gotta try it. We had crawfish etoufee, fried catfish, and fried scallops. The fried catfish was authentic Southern Catfish, and the crawfish etoufee was extremely good as well. They brought out some crab cheesy bread which was amazing. While there are a few negative comments, anytime you open a brand new restaurant there's going to be some hiccups. Don't let those negative comments keep you from trying this place out. And if you came and had a bad experience the first time try it again. They have some really great seafood options can't wait to come back. But the real winner for our experience was our server Ashley. She was right on top of things, made sure we were well taken care of. We had a special request that she made happen and you could tell that she cared about doing a good job. So when you go in and ask to be seated at one of Ashley's tables and you'll be assured fantastic service. read more

My first experience there was amazing! Had the Cajun butter-perfect heat and flavor. I will update when I go back.

My son was home from college for the weekend. This was a new and hot location to try, so we did. It was super busy, but we only probably waited about 10-15 minutes for our table on a Sunday afternoon. It is well worth waiting for. We love our seafood, but not in this area...nothing ever taste fresh. This place knocks it out of the water. It has amazing flavor and taste fresh. Staff was excellent. Owner/operator came around to make sure we enjoyed our experience. We will for sure be going back! read more

** Read this whole review! The food is fantastic. I took my wife there for a birthday lunch in February. However, I left a $6 tip for a bill of $37.78 (which included $34.98 plus $2.80 for tax = $37.78) for lunch. If the service is really good it is customary to leave a 15% tip. I usually don't tip for the taxes, but regardless the waitress was really good, so the tip was closer to 18% than 15%. Since I was paying with a master card gift card, when we got home I checked the card on-line because I wanted to make sure the waitress got a tip when I realized behind my back she had added a 20% tip instead of the $6 I left her. I called the manager advising him of the error, he checked and said that this sort of thing happens from time to time with the credit card company for gift cards, but he assured me it would be fixed within a day. It was. I would eat there again and pay with a credit card again, but I will always check what I was billed on-line as soon as possible. read more

We have been there twice. I highly recommend getting there early or boy! Will you have a wait. On my first trip, I had the oysters on the half shell. I could only eat one. Although they were quite large, it was apparent that they were frozen and only recently thawed. Not fresh. I hate that. My daughter had a boil and loved it. I will say that it is fun but quite pricey for the amount of seafood received. On our second adventure, I took my husband. He loved the Cajun boil. We were extremely disappointed in the tiny crab legs for the price. SKIP THEM! Definitely get a boil and select one of their seasonings. Fun for 1 trip. Semi disappointing for two. Not going back for some time. However, with that said, I do appreciate the management reading the reviews and responding. It can only make their guests' experiences better. Sorry, just a 3 star all because of my disappointment with those oysters! read more

DON'T BE A TRICIA I used to love the Storming Crab. Tonight, on the other hand, was a different experience: A no-good-awful-forever-loathed-experience. We sat down at 7:00p.m, and our drink order was readily taken by TRICIA. I proceeded to wait 20 minutes to get my drink. When I finally got my drink order from TRICIA I immediately ordered my food. However, she then waited 20 more minutes to even put our order in. TRICIA was supposed to bring out an appetizer, an on the house bread, which was not brought until 10 minutes before our food came out. Not to mention, we were charged for this "on the house complimentary" bread. All this time we had been waiting, TRICIA was waiting on only 3 other small tables. TRICIA finally brought our food, but we had been waiting for an hour so at this point we politely asked if any of our food took longer than others. TRICIA began to use a tone with us and sarcastically belittle my mother so we asked for a manager. The manager, Tokyo, was friendly and prompt about trying to make it right. However, if you visit the storming crab and get TRICIA as a waitress, run the other direction. If you would like to look at this another way though, you can sit through an hour and a half of terrible service from TRICIA, and then receive a 30% discount for putting up with TRICIA. Thank you, TRICIA, for being such an awful waitress that, Tokyo the manager, had to clean up the disaster you left behind. If I ever go back, I refuse to see TRICIA. read more

OMG, loves it! Went there the first time which was our last night in town. Once we figured how to order things worked out well. Great food, great service and quite kids lol. I would highly recommend going there. Make sure to get the seafood cheese bread. We had fried oyster, fries soft crab and the #5 which were great but if you can get a boils don't miss out! read more

It was a wonderful time and food was fabulous. Our server Dahlia was fantastic. We went on a Saturday night and was able to get right in and get a table read more

Been there 4 times and enjoyed every visit. Food was good and service was excellent! Fort Wayne was ready for a place like this.

Just received a response from Tony at storming crab regarding my review. Him for me they receive the freshest ingredients and hopes I come back soon. He must not have read where I said I will never come back again and did not comment on the prices and the terrible service. I don't think he realizes that I will not come back again unless he gives me $100 gift certificate and gives me an excellent waiter or waitress. I don't know why he would leave this comment unless he read my review thoroughly. Also he did not comment on the lobster not having any meat on it if this is fresh ingredients I'd hate to see what unfresh is like read more

I went to the storming crab for lunch on a very busy Sunday. The place was packed but we were seated right away! We ordered the combo with snow crab legs, as well as some hush puppies. My family and I felt as if we got a lot of food for a fair price, I would definitely go again! 10/10 read more

Decided to give this place a try, $40 later most of our food was left behind. I had clam chowder and crab cakes that came with little hush puppies on a stick. The chowder was more like a bowl of milk with a little butter, rubbery clams and diced potatoes. They served it with several pepper packets, which was good, because flavorless otherwise. My crab were mostly corn meal, and no taste at all, and the hush puppies were greasy and dense. My husband had the cod basket, which was mostly thick dry beading, and fries that tasted as if they opened a bag of ore idas. They served us seafood bread, sort of like garlic cheese bread. It was tasty, but very, very greasy. Waiter was Ok, though he spoke very fast and very quiet, so a bit hard to understand. They do have crawfish and gator on the menu, so perhaps that is enough to keep them open. We do not care for greasy foods, so will not be back. I appreciate the owner responding to my review, however, we tried several menu items, not just the chowder. Nothing we ordered was good. I had crab cakes off of the appetizer menu. I ate one and one of the hush puppies, or whatever the doughy stuff on the stick was. My husband got the crab basket and ate one French fry and one fish nugget. The seafood bread tasted OK. read more

Glad this restaurant open! I am from Louisiana and I love Cajun food. Ordered combo 4 with crab house Cajun flavor, fantastic! Love the spicy. Although it is not crawfish season, but the crawfish here was really delicious! Strongly recommended. Friendly wait staff and good atmosphere. read more

Food was expensive and did not taste good. I got the combo #4 and it was very greasy. I had high expectations for the price but was disappointed. Overpriced and overhyped. Also, the forks and utensils were not cleaned. It still had spots of sticky old food. Disgusting! I would not recommend it. read more
