    I love seafood and was referred here but immediately regretted it.The lights are broken in the parking lot ,there are people running up to cars asking for money.When I was greeted by the host I let her know that there was someone directly in front of the door.She said " we don't have anything to do with that".The staff seemed to be numerous teens to young adult aged.I sat at the bar after 10 mins a young lady came and threw a menu across the bar to me asking if I knew what I wanted to drink .After taking sometime I asked about the shrimp I wanted a 1/2 lb but you can only purchase in pounds.I added on a side of rice & a beer.After my food came out I didn't see the bartender again until I asked someone else for a box & my check.When I left someone ran up to my car again asking for money.... Won't be going back

    We came. We celebrated. We conquered. It was my sister's birthday but the way we ate, it sure felt like mine! The seafood boils were absolutely delish. They brought out a dessert for her birthday and sang as well! We bibbed up, gloved up, and dove into heaven. We also had leftovers that of course tasted even better the next day from sitting in the juices overnight. Hope to come back! The statues made for fun photo ops and the decors made it a fun vibe.

    Our party of 4 had the crabby combo. This was a waitress recommendation as we had never been to this type of restaurant and weren't really sure where to start. The combo was $125 and included a pound of headless shrimp, 6 clusters of crab legs, sausage, and 4 of each- corn, potato and hard boiled egg. The food comes out really fast- like the tray is in the back ready to go. There's a bucket on each table with aprons, gloves, paper plates and forks. After we suited up, we went to town cracking crab and peeling shrimp. Discards went in the bucket. As other reviews mentioned, there weren't any cracking or picking tools available. That made getting the crab out a little more challenging- but the kind of challenge the teenage crew I was with enjoyed. In the end, I think we all could've eaten just a little bit more. (We'd ordered the fried rice, but it was pretty gross and was left uneaten.) There's no shortage of places to go for a seafood boil in Myrtle Beach. The choices are overwhelming. Tasty Crab was a solid option and a good place to give seafood boils a try. The kids tried to get me to take them back the next night, too!

    Do not sleep on this place. From the outside, it doesn't look like much but the food is amazing! I haven't stopped thinking about those Lemon Pepper wings. They were fresh, flavorful, crispy and everythang! I could've just ordered those and been happy for the rest of the week. Our servers were helpful, attentive and resourceful. Next time we try this place, I'd love to see their bar menu. Everything we saw on the way out and in looked good.

    Visiting the area & ran across this place. I was craving shrimp & my fiancé loves the seafood boils at other places, so we gave this place a try. The staff were friendly. The table was dirty, so I cleaned it off myself. The waitress was friendly & fast. Our order came out freshly cooked and flavorful. We truly enjoyed ourselves. We were stuffed upon leaving & will definitely go back. There's a lot of parking available.

    tasty crab myrtle beach Came in on a busy Saturday night at around 9:40, there was a 20 minute wait for two guests. To be expected for considering how much business they had. We left our number and name and got a text to come back in and get sat at 10:02. Our server Jaliya greeted us at 10:06. (To preface, I'm in the service industry as-well and i don't believe she was a bad SERVER, just gave bad SERVICE for the night. everyone has their days.) We placed our food and drink order at the same time. I got a garlic butter shrimp and crab boil +2 added on eggs. (unfortunately forgot to take photos) My friend got a boil with mussels and crab, along with an order of fried calamari. By 10:22 we received most of our order, minus the fried calamari which came about 3-5 minutes after the entrees. Between 10:06 and 10:22 we hadn't received our waters, trash bucket, gloves, or hand wipes and had to wait for our server to walk by to let her know. Few minutes pass and we received the bucket, gloves, hand wipes, but still no waters. This other server Simon was in another section serving other tables so we asked him for our waters (Simon was great, super nice, i noticed checked on his tables super often and kept them happy) He brought out our waters for us since we couldn't find our server. Finally she came and checked up on us (a total of 4 times from 10:06 to 11:15 including grabbing our drinks and order and bringing the check, we rarely saw her). All in all the food was great, vibe was good, service wasn't the best at all. Definitely would give a 5 star if the service was up to par, i know everyone has their days but waiting over 20 minutes on water definitely sucked lol. I'd come back tho and probably ask for Simon this time wish i got more photos of everything but the service kind of threw me for a loop. Definitely recommend if you're visiting though!!

    First time customer and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. NOTE: Do not wear your finest outfit as you may be covered by your own (or your friends) back splash!! ; ) Shrimp no heads with the Cajun original seasoning which included potatoes and a small ear of corn. Accompanied by a cold draft beer. Shrimp was tasty and perfectly prepared. Potatoes were SO GOOD having soaked in the seasoning. Corn was not nearly as good in our opinion. Beer was cold and perfectly paired with the shrimp. One pound of shrimp seemed like WAY MORE!! Service was very good. (Restaurant was very very busy) Interior was basic but appropriate to the meal. Restaurant provides the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) in the form of gloves, bibs, wet wipes, galvanized steel bucket, and Tyvek Suit (JK on the Tyvek!). Shrimp+potatoes+corn arrives in a DOUBLE bag. Because the shrimp needs to be peeled the PPE may be necessary as you are up to your elbows pulling your dinner out of the bag.

    Management at the location is terrible. They allow their waiters to speak very nasty to customers. Food is also very bland and overcooked

I honestly didn't take great pictures because we were too busy eating! It was a very busy day the day we were there bc of the Kentucky derby party but we were still seated quickly and our food came out fairly quickly. They take a lot of precautions when dealing with allergies and it was appreciated. They even identify that it is gluten free when they deliver the food as well. I can't wait to return and try the short rib macaroni and cheese. The ambiance is booths and tables around a bar. They also have a great outdoor space due kids to run around and play.
