All you can eat seafood boil? Say no more! The AYCE menu is available every day and comes at a price of (only) $34.99 per person (as of 12/10/23). You can also upgrade to get AYCE snow crab clusters but the regular AYCE comes with 1 cluster per person already! Everything we ordered came out piping hot and super fresh! As a bonus, there is plenty of parking, and the service was great (esp. since there was only 1 server on shift during our Sunday lunch visit) Recommend (in no particular order) - Fried Oysters - Cajun Fries - Green Mussels - Shrimp (head on) - Crawfish - Clams - Snow Crab read more

We love seafood in all its variations so stopping here gave us plenty of options. For lunch I had a salad and Lori a po' boy both of which were very good. Our waitress could not have been more informative and helpful. Cool! The cook on my chicken tender and shrimp was perfect and there was plenty of salad--almost too much for the bowl it was served. I put it on a plate which helped. The fish po' Boy was good until adding their house sauce. That kicked up the flavor so definitely try it this way. Overall, a casual place to chow down on all things pescatarian. Has the steamers on my "Give 'em a whirl" meter reading to receive your order. Enjoy here. read more

It's not a lot of a real flavor more so on the heat levels. If that makes sense. I would recommend for the drinks but the food is always mid. The place itself is a good vibe. And the servers Ive gotten are always a good time and funny. read more

Food was very flavorful Service started off slow but once they acknowledged we hadn't been serviced yet, it went great I loved all the writing on the walls and the feel of being on a boat Make sure you come with an empty stomach because you get plenty of food. What you don't eat you must pay for by the lb and unlike most all you can eat restaurants the drinks are included read more

We were craving some seafood and decided to try this spot that was close to our home. When we arrived, it was not busy at all. The hostess though told us it would be a 5 min wait but I guess it was because she had to make a call with a customer about an order, so other guests were arriving as well but they also had to wait as she was the only hostess. We feel like she should have sat us down first instead of telling us we had to wait, and then she proceeded to make a call. Once we were seated, though, everything went more smoothly. It was a casual spot, and it looks like you are allowed to sign their walls, which was filled with PLENTY of signatures. We ordered the "queen platter," which fed 4 of us PLENTY with leftovers. It consisted of cracb legs, sausage, mussels, green clams, oysters, potato, corn, garlic bread, and hush puppies! Let me tell you, it was the best season food broil we have ate in a WHILE and for the price, definitely worth it! The mussels and everything were very delicious, and the shrimp was my FAVORITE! I also ordered a side order of fries, and they were freshly made! Nice and hit and just the right amount of crispy. I definitely recommend this location if you are ever in the area. They are in a shopping center besides a cicis pizza, so there is plenty of parking to choose from. read more

I used Uber Eats & ordered onion rings with the Shrimp bag (head on) on 7-19-21. This is probably the 3rd time I've purchased from them. Unfortunately, this time the shrimp was soggy, soft, & overcooked. The corn wasn't fresh. Doubt I'll be back. read more

Service needs help! Lackadaisical staff which n9t much knowledge upon entry. Ordered #11 combo which was shrimp- heads on & crayfish. Potatoes and corn were in the bag along with the extra boiled eggs I added as an option along with hot garlic butter. After placing my order, 27 minutes later, food appeared. Shrimp were overcooked crayfish were on point but potatoes, corn and boiled eggs lacked the seasoning from within the bag! FLOUNDER FILETS were fried nicely but you forgot my cocktail and tartar sauce I requested and paid for! Of course this event didn't warrant a gratuity other than -GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!! PISS POOR SERVICE AND FOOD QUALITY AT THESE PRICES!!! read more

As a seafood lover I couldn't have a crab house open in my neck of the woods and not check it out! Been waiting on this to open before all the corona madness so I was happy to see the flags on one of my trips to Sams club. I ordered from the parking lot and was able to get my food in less that 15 minutes! They did mess up my order as I do not do head on shrimp however I was home by that point and I wasn't going back. My son as usual tried the wings. They messed that one up as well as he wanted them battered and they were naked. They put the buffalo sauce on the side which perplexed him as a 10 year old. He was dipping them in the sauce and complained of it tasting funny. I believe it's not true butter used in those so the taste was a bit off. He did however enjoy the onion rings. Back to my combo of snow crab and shrimp. I always opt for the house special sauce in a hot temp. I will opt for extra hot next time because it wasn't spicy to me. The corn was good and they use the red potato just as other crab houses you only get one of each. I would say they aren't going to bump out my top three which are Crab Dujour, King Crab or Shake Shake name depends on location and Steam it Up (no one does fried crab legs BUT them). They are on the more expensive side but it could be because of the rise in costs of groceries lately. Curse you corona!!! I would probably just go to King Crab if I wanted some crab legs but I will give them another try seeing that they gave me a gift card from coming! Woot woot! Check them out when you have the chance. They even let you draw on the wall like another crab house in the area. read more

Ok so I tried to give them another chance but once again my order was incorrect. Again the food is really good but not getting items you order or missing parts of the order don't make it worth the time or money. read more

This place is interesting. Fantastic wait staff but the food is just okay. Not certain it makes the cut for a repeat visit.

I use to get the shrimp and crab leg bag but recently the food ingredients and portion definitely gotten bad. The front desk young ladies are not attentive and now the food is not TASTY this is not a good combo. read more

Really enjoyed our first visit here. The service was very fast and friendly. The whole place is super clean and inviting and the food was great! We got the P10 seafood platter (1/2 lb each king, snow, and Dungeness crab, 1/2lb shrimp, plus corn, potatoes, broccoli, and a hard boiled egg) and it was more than enough to feed two, we brought home lots of leftovers. Also got a fried oyster basket. The breading was a bit thick but it was tasty and the oysters were super clean. Also the Cajun fries are yummy! The only drawback is the prices are a bit high but the food was good so we will definitely come back. read more

Well First things First Writing on the Walls ok Cool I was not pleased with my food at all very very very bland no taste at all on none of the food that we ordered and if a child taste something and says it has no taste , I mean no taste and for it to be Al -a- Carte Dining it shouldn't be !!! Food was definitely not worth the prices they charge as a Chef myself and wanting to so badly try this place , believe me it was not worth it ....That was my first and last time once I watched water spillage must be very plentiful at this place as well , our waitress was very friendly and even that was ok , not a wow pleasing experience at all ...like I said we won't be back read more

Ok, so I've given them a 3rd try, as the first try was outstanding. After that downhill. Today I called in my order and specially asked for a "SHRIMP BOIL". Instead, I get a handful of shrimp that have been steamed. The woman at the front tells me "oh that's a combo!" I'm looking at her and the menu where it reads "boil". She offered to make the item I originally requested but I declined as I was short on time. I did not know the official name but definitely knew the name, so since you want to play that game, I'll ignore you as well and take coins elsewhere. Additionally? They are offering a buy one get one. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and literally received a tray FULL of rice with 3 shrimp (see photo). The wings I ordered are the sweet chili. Why were my wings NOT in the chili sauce? I am handed a drop of sauce for two orders of wings. Again, I tried but the service is horrid and there is no way I can possible support this. Hopefully Mr Chinetime reviews this place. read more

Workers there have really bad attitude. "I'm too busy now." Said one server lol Why do you work in service industry if you hate people? I wouldn't mind it being pricy IF they could serve fresh seafood. But my friend you'll be disappointed. read more

Pricing is ok. If anything, Yaki Asia prices are better for the portions. We've ordered 2 lbs of crawfish and a pound of clams. Everything is ok. Seasoning isn't much and needs more flavors. I've noticed that a couple of items are $1-$3 more than other seafood boiled places. 1 small corn and only 2 potatoes in each bags. Other places usually gives us 2-3 corns and at least 6-8 potatoes (usually in halves) but these are a whole small round potatoes. Clam was the only thing my family enjoyed. Maybe I'll come back and try again in a few months. read more

Love the taste! I ordered the mixed flavor and had it made extra hot! Gosh! Tasted so good! read more

Food was good but the boil I had was salty as fuck ! I had got the speciality sauce . When I mean salty it was salty ! Like high blood pressure salty ! Also the waiter we had had a nasty ass attitude. The waiter told us it was all we could eat and if we chose to take it home then we would have to pay extra . But when we left the rest we didn't eat the manager want to tell us we had to pay for what we didn't eat ! The waiter should've fully clarified what she meant. read more

Good food Good service Food came out in a timely manner Clean restaurant Friendly staff read more

I liked the wood tables, ropes and decor; very informal with a sports bar vibe. The food arrived in a plastic bag tied in a knot. the server said it was her first day. she did a great job, attentive to the tables and allowed time for review of the menu. in the bottom of the bag was a very biny broth with seasonings and lots of undissolved salt. The food is incredibly salty. Although cooked together I could taste the crab and the shrimp. The shrimp were good after parking them aside and allowing the salty liquid to drip away. The red potatoes cooked in the brine were dreamy...loved them! the broccoli was OK but too salty. Couldn't eat the corn for too much salt. It would be fabulous if they used 1/20 the amount of salt. read more

Service was terrible. Food was okay not worth the money, the fried fish was not seasoned and very bland .

Order P4 deliver through yelp. Lobster and shrimp a little over cooked. Tasty special sauce extra hot excellent. Definitely must try. Even though it was delivered food was still hot and delicious! read more

Nice big place good was good. Just a little cold in the building but that could have been because it was only 2 tables at the time. Will go back to give another shot. read more

1000% my favorite seafood restaurant! I've never had a bad experience at this establishment staff is amazing. Also I love all the writing on the walls my boyfriend and I love date night here we always get to leave a part of us. So I 10/10 recommend this place to anyone. read more

We generally love this place, but the most recent time we went here, we got oysters, and we both got norovirus/food poisoning. Very difficult to want to go back, I would not recommend the oysters as much as their crab is amazing. read more

I have never had a problem with my online orders but tonight they could not find my order, the hostess was rude and was not listening to me when I told her what my order was so I only got half my order. I won't order here again. read more

Service was ok. It was a nice "experience" but the crab legs didn't taste all that fresh. Meanwhile we spent almost $100 for 2 adults and a child and still left hungry. I had expected it to be pricey but not so pricey that I still left hungry. Really "fishy" tasting crab legs. Kind of a let down. read more

The taste was perfect, full of flavor n on point! It didn't take too long to get her, it was very fast! My shrimp was perfect and the fried rice as the best, the fries came very fresh and tast. Its going to be my place from now on! read more

Showed up over an hour before they close for my birthday and was told they wouldn't allow dine-in customers. Take your business elsewhere

Great food and great service. We went for dinner on a Saturday night as a last minute decision. Since we had never been to the Tasty Crab, we asked someone leaving the restaurant about their experience and they highly recommended. Our server was Kelly and she was amazing and on point! We ordered a few appetizers and one of their specials. Everything was delicious. We went back a week later and food and service was again delicious and Server Ashley was also amazing and on point with her service. Very pleased and we will be back! read more

My husband and I went in a whim. He was excited about the "All you can eat," I was excited about the sides because I do not eat seafood. We thought he could order the "All you can eat" while I nibble on my sides but they don't allow people at the same table to order from different menus. 1 menu "All you can Eat" and another is "Al la Carte." It took us a minute to comprehend why we would be forced to choose one or the other. From a customer perspective it's unfair... Alas we were patronizing a business and the waitress made it clear that her "boss" would not allow it, people share the "All you can eat" and they want to make money and not lose it. We ended up staying - we were the only ones there for a while - by the time we were paying the check, another family came in. My sides did come in a boil bag. Other Seafood boils give you corn on the cob split in half - here they give you a quarter. The best broccoli was good, the seasoning was ok. My husband got one of the specials - a cluster of snow/dungeons and it came with 1/2 king crab (which was 1 leg) 1/2 shrimp, corn and potatoes. It was pretty expensive. We paid around $100 vs the $130 min. we would have paid for all you can eat. My husband was hungry soon after. So definitely not filling. The dining area appeared clean. The writing on the walls I found to be interesting. The waitress was nice enough. I conclude that it's only worth it if you want the "All You Can Eat" experience. But be careful there too, cause what you don't eat they charge you for. read more

I was there not to long ago and I had such an amazing experience I had to come back but this time was horrible , for starters no one was at the front to great me and my company I came with , than we did not have the same waitress as last time , the waitress we had this time was super rude and not helpful at all , when I came the first time I had Suzu and I was hoping to get her again but she was not there , the food came out luke warm and it was the wrong seasoning , I'm very disappointed, I plan on maybe coming back and if I do I will definitely just ask for Suzu , if you decide to eat here please ask for Suzu she is amazing and to be honest she the reason why I came back and brought people with me hoping they would have an amazing experience like how I did but guess not . read more

The experience was horrible. We were only one of two tables in the whole place. The ambience is lacking and took a while to get our food and it was tasteless. We pretty much left it all behind. How can King Crab be tasteless? But it was, and I thought it was going to be Cajun seasoned but the seasoning was just in the bottom. The tartar sauce is packaged and no good. My fish was heavy with grease and the shrimp was tasteless as well. The prices are very high so we will not be back with the overall negative experience. I wished and hoped this restaurant would do well but I don't see how it's going to make it. read more

over all the food was good. not expetional but good. over all good service but the place was almost empty. and the pricing was wayyyyy too high. you shouldnt have to pay $4 for some hush puppies at a seafood place. and we left hungry after paying almost $100. i wouldnt reccomend going but wouldnt decline the offer to go if i was asked because their tasty sauce is good. read more
