I have recently been diagnosed with alpha gal allergy. Our server here was very knowledgeable about AGS and guided me through the menu and explained how the cook everything and precautions they use. Right down to the plant butter. The shrimp bowl awesome! Slathered with yummy lightly seasoned plant butter. This is going on the top of my go to places to eat safely! read more

I went to storm and crab again recently, and I am really happy with how much they are willing to accommodate. I asked them to put the seasoning on the side because I prefer to dip my food in the seasoning so my hands are less messy and they had no problem doing it. I love how clean the place and it's not usually too loud. read more

The service was very mediocre. Our waitress was practically whispering. The food was honestly horrible, maybe it's just my taste buds but the fried food taste like the fryer oil was reused from multiple days. The seafood bread is very bad. Everything taste like mayo and miracle whip. The condiment were also horrible. The oysters were so freezer burnt. The cod was way too oily. And the catfish was undercooked and soggy. And the ambiance was also mediocre. Cool signing but other than that the waiters were visibly on their phones at the front booth and ignoring other customers. DO NOT EAT HERE. read more

Little pricey, for what it was and they didn't have Po boys whenever that was a kind disappointing like dinner has to be expensive to eat there read more

Food was really good. I shared a boil with my wife and it was good. Server was friendly, answered our questions well, and didn't bother us too much. read more

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had, and I strongly advise others not to waste their time or money here. The atmosphere does not feel hygienic, and the service is careless at best -- we waited around 40 minutes for food with no explanation or apology. What made it worse was watching a staff member repeatedly walk in and out of the kitchen holding our plates instead of serving them. By the time the food finally reached our table, it was cold, greasy, and tasted like something reheated in a microwave rather than freshly prepared. The quality was so poor that I felt grossed out after a few bites and threw the rest away. No restaurant should ever serve food this unappetizing or handle it with such disregard. If you value your health and your money, look elsewhere. read more

At first glance at 11:45 am on A Monday we wondered if they we open. Wife had fried catfish with one side dish , cold slaw... fish was good coleslaw has too much mayonnaise. Appetizer fried clams they were outstanding. Husband had fried oysters , very good. Wait staff took a long time to bring check. read more

Service was nonexistent. When we were seated there were two other parties of two each who looked to be finishing their meal. We waited over 10 minutes and were never asked for our drink order not to mention our food order. We could see 3 servers standing near the kitchen door chatting with each other. We finally walked and went to a different restaurant. read more

Highly recommend Storming Crab. Customer service and the seafood is top notch. Staff is so knowledgeable about their product and food is always fresh. They tell the truth about their food nonlike their competitor Krab Kingz. If you want good customer service and seafood then go to Storming Crabs read more

The worst food I have had in years. Over breaded and over fried calamari and shrimp. Could have gotten frozen food at the grocery store and cooked myself and it would have been 1000% better. The "family" steamed entrees were ridiculously over priced. Awful! read more

My family and I had the pleasure of dining at the Storming Crab restaurant in Springfield, MO yesterday, and we were absolutely blown away by the incredible experience we had there. If you're a seafood lover like us, this place is an absolute must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm and friendly smiles from the staff, creating a welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for the rest of our time there. The restaurant's interior is cozy, with a nautical theme that instantly transports you to a coastal paradise. Storming Crab boasts an impressive menu filled with an array of mouthwatering seafood options. This was our first time here and we were hooked as soon as we walked in. Our excellent waitress, Ashley, warmly welcomed us and introduced us to a culinary flavor explosion - the seafood bread that would forever alter our dining experience. The garlic-infused, buttery, and delightfully cheesy crab bread was nothing short of a revelation. Its taste was SO good we had to order more. After finding out it was our first time eating there, Ashley gave us a recommendation to select one of the dinner combos. First, you choose your combo of seafood, that all come with sausage, potatoes, and corn. Then, you choose your boil flavor from their 5 options of flavors. Finally, you get to choose the spice level, so you can have it as mild or as fiery as you desire. For our appetizer we indulged in a half-dozen of the freshest raw oysters available. These pristine shellfish arrived on a chilled, circular platter, nestled on a bed of ice. Alongside them were carefully presented accompaniments, including wedges of zesty lemon, piquant horseradish, fiery Tabasco sauce, and a tantalizing seafood cocktail sauce, enhancing the oyster experience to perfection. We opted for the "#6 Dinner combo," a delightful medley of snow crab legs, shrimp, sausage, red potatoes, and corn. We decided to add a pound of crawfish and black mussels, along with a half-pound of extra sausage, that were all seasoned to perfection with their signature crab house Cajun sauce. we went with the mild spice level, and it was just the right amount of kick to elevate the flavors without overwhelming our taste buds. Each seafood item was impeccably cooked, tender, and succulent, making it a seafood lover's dream come true. What truly sets Storming Crab apart is their unique dining experience. Forget about traditional utensils - here, you're given bibs and gloves to dive into your seafood feast with your hands. It's messy, it's fun, and it adds a delightful element of novelty to your dining adventure. The portion sizes were incredibly generous, and I was thoroughly impressed with the value for money. The Storming Crab Feast could easily satisfy even the heartiest of appetites. To top it all off, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was exceptional. In conclusion, Storming Crab in Springfield, MO, is a seafood lover's paradise. With its inviting atmosphere, delectable cuisine, and unique dining concept, it's a dining experience that you won't soon forget. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving some mouthwatering seafood, Storming Crab is the place to be. read more

I have tried a couple other seafood places in town, and so far this is the best. I understand we are land locked and this place is corporate, but they have just nailed down the taste of freshness at a great price!! I am also a huge fan of their seafood sauces... The service is always top notch, and the ambience is casual yet big enough for a party of 10. I have yet to try a pot or boil, but the batter they use on their shrimp and fish is amazing!! They also don't skimp; I usually get the catfish and fries, and it's 4 big chunks of fish, and a basket of their amazing Cajun fries all of it under $14!!!! Definitely my go to place when I want some fish or seafood! read more

First time diner food was great? Crab cakes on point, crab bites a delicious surprise. We had King Crab Legs and scallops bag with sausage red potatoes and broccoli with garlic butter. Perfectly seasoned, broccoli righton texture, scallops and crab legs wonderful. Lauren provided excellent and fun service, even extracted the crab for my inexperienced self. Handwritten notes from prior customers decorated the booths and chairs providing unique entertainment for the short time between ordering and serving. Big fan we will be back! read more

The food was amazing. I took 2 friends that were from Michigan and they raved about it after we ate. One got the shrimp boil and the shrimp were huge. The other got the fried shrimp basket and loved it. I got the fried catfish basket and the catfish was cooked beautifully and melt in your mouth taste. I also go the fries (lemon pepper) and I wanted to eat the whole order but there was so much food I got stuffed. The prices are good and the service was great. Very attentive and welcoming. I'll be back soon! read more

Storming Crab is a quick cajun fix in 417-land. Finding decent cajun-seasoned seafood is difficult out here in the Midwest, but Storming Crab was a nice surprise! We ordered the Dinner Combo #7, plus an order of Green Mussels, with Crab House Cajun and Garlic Butter flavors and medium spice. The 3 of us finished every single bite of the platter! We asked for Super Hot spice on the side to dip our seafood in and it was a good level of spice. We'll come back to try Sam's Special next time. The only con is the sauces are VERY oily. If you LOVE garlic, get the garlic butter seasoning; otherwise, it may be too much for other's. For starters, we ordered a half order of Raw Oysters and they gave us complimentary Seafood Bread. The Raw Oysters came with Tabasco, a marinara sauce, and ginger-wasabi. It tasted fresh and tasted best paired with Tabasco, marinara, and a hint of lemon, but the ginger-wasabi had too much kick. Though every bite of the Seafood Bread was great, it's very oily and heavy. We'll definitely be back to try more of their menu! read more

This girl loves Cajun food! Having live in NOLA for some time, I was excited to see what Storming Crab was gonna bring to SWMO. It was the most disgusting attempt at Cajun food ever! The only seasoning to be identifiable was garlic! It was so bad! I can't even say how bad it was! Would I go back? No! Would I recommend it? No! Was any part of the meal okay? The water was okay. read more

Not bad. Seems reasonably priced. Friendly people. We did the meal for two bucket. I'd go back.

We had a wonderful time here. We came here on a Thursday night at 630 and was seated right away. We ordered appetizers and entrees. I created my own combo and got Dungeness crab, crawfish and shrimp with the house Cajun very hot. Everything taste very fresh. I had a lot left over and it still taste just as good. Lauren, our server, did a wonderful job. Great service. Will come back. read more

I do like the dry rub season seafood boils . The rub is too oily for my liking. It is pricey. Service was always good.

I've ordered from this place for over a year through doordash, it's always been great. Last night I was delivered undercooked, possibly rotten, snow crab... $67. Talked to manager "Jay" on the phone and was basically told to screw off... if i could go back in time, I'd never have gotten anything here in the first place. Red lobster from now on. read more

They are super skimpy on the portions now. $50 for about 10 shrimps, 3 crab legs, 1, yes, 1 potato, and not much sausage. And now they give you less butter, which as most reviews have state, is all garlic. I also noticed that some men had been waiting nearly 20 minutes for a table, even though most all of the tables were empty. It looked like they were being discriminated against. Will not be back. read more

We waited to try this place after it opened so they could get established. It didn't matter. Service was fine, but the food was frozen Seapac shrimp at the best. All the food we saw looked as if it was pre packaged, then frozen, heated and served. Nothing unique. It's not worth the money and the trouble. Get some frozen shrimp at the grocery store. We won't be back. read more

The setting was rather interesting as every surface was covered in signatures or short messages. It gave you something to do while waiting on your food. Several families were present so it would be appropriate for youngsters. My server was very helpful and efficient. The food was okay. The sweet potato fries were really good but the fried oysters were a bite of tasteless water. I wouldn't return if seafood was my goal. read more

We came to Storming Crab for lunch and enjoyed the variety of dishes available. You have a choice of a combo or choose your own items. The place has ample room for people and they encourage you to write on the post where you are seated. The hostess was welcoming as were the servers. If and when in town I'm sure we will stop by again. Enjoy! :) read more

Great shrimp and crab . Huge portions and friendly staff. Their hush puppies are delicious.

This was Saturday late afternoon before Christmas and this restaurant is attached to the mall so it was busy and loud. Our party of 4 made plenty of noise too as we had a great time. Staff was friendly and attentive. We started with the complimentary seafood bread the waitress brought it was so gooey delicious we ordered another. Then the pick 3 appetizer stuffed jalapeño, cheese sticks and okra those are just okay the breading was on the hard side lacked a memorable flavor okra was good. We ordered the #4 dinner combo with garlic seasoning it arrived inside a bucket in a boil bag that the waitress opened and poured into a pan and you eat off the parchment lined table the plastic bibs and gloves are optional. Plenty of food for 4 people. read more

This place is amazing! I'm originally from Denver where there are a lot of Cajun style crab places and I've tried them all. This place is right up there with them and I'm more than willing to drive the 1.5 hour drive to eat there like once a month! Yes it's pricey but you can't eat crab legs and expect it to be cheap inland. So so good! read more

If your looking for a nice place to take your daughter out for her birthday...pass this one by . The prices far outway the service you'll receive here.

I joined a few friends and their two small children for a birthday celebration. The note on their door says all parties of 7 or more automatically have gratuity added to the bill, and the two young children were counted in the 7. I have no issue with paying a gratuity and would have left one anyways. The bill I received after it was divided up had a blank line to leave a tip and tip suggestions. I had assumed no gratuity was added and I left another tip. The next day we were discussing the cost and the gratuity being added is when i found out they had gratuity added in as well and explained why my bill seemed a tad high to begin with. One of the guys in our group called them the next day about this and the management refused to do anything about it. I believe their gratuity policy needs a better explanation and the receipt that is signed to leave the tip that has a blank line and suggested amounts is a deceptive practice. Anytime a gratuity is added and a bill is split up, it should be made perfectly clear and verbalized at the time of payment that it was added. I am NOT at all thrilled. read more

Cajun pasta was edible, but crab cakes seemed like they'd never seen an ocean. Jalapeño Poppers we're flavorless except for the breading, and the mystery crab cake on a stick was inedible. Save yourself. Just don't do it. Go on down the street to Red Lobster. It'll cost you more and be worth every penny. read more

My husband and I thought we would try out tonight. We were quickly seated. I ordered the fried shrimp basket and he had catfish. Both portions were much more than we could finish. I loved the hush puppies. Very spicy and not too hard crust. It was really more food than we could eat. Looking forward to coming back with whole family so we can do a boil dinner. read more

On a Wednesday looking for a place to eat, after an appointment in Springfield. It turned out to be a beautiful fall/winter day, and then drove and saw this pretty blue sign that no one could read from the street. So, let's start with the catchy name, it was enough to lure us in. Being from the transplants from the east coast, sometimes it's hard for us to find seafood that is appealing. We have found it either to be good looking, but taste terrible or looks horrific and taste half way decent. However, the food here looked and tasted amazing. At least to us a bunch of people who have eaten seafood in some of the best places. First, they started us off with some seafood bread. And I was smitten. The bread was both hot and different. Plus, I have never eaten it before. But then again, I love bread! However, it was warm and cheesy, two things that are always good with bread. Plus, most seafood places don't offer free stuff. So, the first thing to order were the oysters. They were not the biggest like I have gotten in other places, but the cost was amazing; and I found I didn't have to ask for the items that usually accompany an order of oysters on the half shell, because it was ALL there, even a bottle of Tabasco. It took us only minutes to devour them. And as a family that is were we parted ways, we all ordered what we call the test food. This in our humble opinion is what truly makes or breaks a place for us. One ordered wings, one ordered fish and the other ordered something house. First of all the service was excellent. But one skeptic, informed us, it was due to the time of day. And I mentioned hunger has no set time. So, anyway the food came quick, hot and done. Of course we didn't talk for several moments. However, when we finally made eye contact we realized the food was pretty good. Oh, let's not forget the Shark Bite Magrarita I had the pleasure of drinking. All in all my family and enjoyed the experience. The staff was friendly and efficient. The place was clean, and I loved the paper tablecloths. Oh, did I mention it was on the front side of Battlefield Mall. Who would have ever guessed that! I plan on visiting again, if only to write my name on the wall. Naw, am going back for the oysters. read more
