    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.

    Food was good. Had the boil with shrimp, lobster, and snow crab. Lobster was a little overdone but good. Service was good.

    Dinner Combo #7 with an order of Green Mussel (crab house cajun + garlic butter seasoning with medium heat)
    Anonymous L.

    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!

    Never again. Not even almost Cajun food. It's like their only ingredient is garlic. SoMuch Garlic. However, our waiter was very nice.

    Good food and great service. This may not mean much to you, but the tea was wonderful very good.tea!read more

    This visit I noticed a real decline in food quality as there were some significant differences…read more I have been eating at RL for at least 40 years, way back when they served a sourdough bread basket. This most recent visit was a rather disappointing 2 star review instead of prior solid 5 star reviews standard of locations on the West Coast. I am wondering if it is just a MidWest thing but there should be consistency across the board. The first notice was the cheddar bat biscuits were a different consistency and not a speck of cheddar. They were tasteless and really seemed to resemble a flavorless Bisquick biscuit. I asked for a fresh basket and the next batch was the same flavorless biscuit taste, even dunking them in my shrimp scampi juice did not save them. I ordered the classic seaside shrimp trio which is shrimp scampi, shrimp linguini and waltz traditional fried shrimp. There was very little shrimp in the pasta, a lot less than portion of pasta as before as well. The prices have increased by 40% but the quantity and quality has decreased by the same. I had a rude awakening as now RL is charging for a side dinner salad that used to be complimentary with meal. The only thing that was really good was the Jumbo Coconut Shrimp, they were tasty with the dipping sauce so very fortunate for that. We won't be back to RL for many reasons. I did provide some low-key quiet feedback of our meal experience on the way out but the Manager didn't respond as if he cared as he stated "I have been a manager for 5 years now and nothing has changed".

    The food was absolutely incredible! my husband and I still rave about it to this day. unfortunately…read moreI was really disappointed with the service. our server did a wonderful job with taking care of our table but I had called and made an reservation for my husband's birthday and the person on the phone specifically asked if it was a special occasion to which I said yes, and it went unacknowledged once we were there. our server had talked for a long time with the tables around us, and provided them with special desserts, but never asked or acknowledged us. it didn't ruin our night but I was disappointed for my husband as we had saved up to come here and nothing special was done for him. we both work in the service industry so we were exited to be the once given a special night, but were disappointed. the food was incredible so we will definitely return!

    Great Friday night dinner. Service was very good. Food was very flavorful…read more Plenty of parking. Service was good. Standout for me was the food was all delicious. Meal starts with popovers which are a unique and they were warm and good. The shrimp cocktail was fresh and the sauce was delish. The crab cake was amazing, so much crab and flavors were great. When they serve the steak, they ask you to cut into it before they leave. Out of five, two were slightly off but we didn't report it. A medium was medium-, almost medium rare. A medium rare was medium+. However, the flavors were great and still enjoyable. The cheddar jalapeño mashed potatoes were noted as a highlight of the sides. The Brussels were good as were the mashed and the baked potatoes also looked good Plenty of desserts and the surprise birthday wishes and brownie lava like cake. The smores brûlée was unique and tasty. The key lime cheesecake was massive and it was noted as good. They also have these cool Italian mints. Great meal, I will be back.
