THERE WASNT A LINE!! My parents were craving CRAVING oysters and this place hit the spot!! I would say I'm being generous with the stars, I'd give it a 3.8! The service was AMAZING. Very attentive and sweet. We had the calamari as our appetizer and honestly, too much breading. Oysters tasted good, it don't hit the same as New Orleans but we also in Texas haha! They were pretty decent sized though. The char-boiled oysters had some garlic to it, similar to Alfredo sauce! The bread that came with it was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Of course we had someone who doesn't eat seafood with us so we got some wings, they were lemon pepper wings. And we got a shrimp boil that was actually spicy!!
A hidden or not so hidden gem. Their more popular dishes are the blatant boils . They look and smell delish! I ordered the calamari which was cooked to perfection. No chewiness at all. It was lightly breaded and fluffy. This was followed by a cold lobster roll which is perfect in this Tx heat. I will be returning soon. To try more.
This place is pretty good to go to if you go on their special nights for live crawfish. I recommend snacking on the Cajun fries as a good appetizer. We got the Original sauce for the crawfish and the seasonings/flavors were excellent. The oysters themselves were fresh and quite large servings. To me, the lobster roll was a little too rich and unfortunately the lobster itself was slightly over cooked. Overall this place is a good place to go when crawfish is in season.
First time at crab station for dinner. We usually go to red claws for sea food boils but we wanted something different and something closer to home. The boil was ok. Definitely better at red claws. The cat fish was good. Just ok. The lobster roll was pretty good but it's almost 30$ and it's pretty small. Shrimp cocktail was great. It was great for a big party we didn't have to wait long on a Saturday! Good ambiance. The service was pretty good. They took good care of us. It's not the best place for seafood but I'd like to try some other things before I give a bad review. I'd go back!
The Crab Station is located in a plaza full of Asian restaurants. It was hard to pick which one to eat at! You'll get a bib, a condiment container, and a bucket for shells. The strawberry margarita was huge and delicious. We had: -the killer calamari -shrimp, crab legs: The garlic butter sauce is the only non-spicy option so that's why we went with it, but it was a bit boring. The size of both were more than satisfying. The crab was also easy to crack open. -oysters: Overwhelmingly huge. I would've enjoyed it more if it came with mignonette sauce. -cajun and sweet potato fries -chef's bread pudding: best item on the menu I would come back for the above and also to give their "Weak Sauce" a try. They also play great pop/r&b music. Make sure you come hungry.
The 4 is there instead of a 3 because the servers were very nice ! Tuesday 2:00 pm Happy hour March 2023 Ordered happy hour margaritas (regular frozen at first; then mango). $6. Ordered the triple Cajun tacos (blackened catfish, chicken, shrimp) they come with a type of pico on them, and there are sides of ketchup, cocktail sauce, and tarter sauce. $13-$14 My friend ordered the same, and oysters. (6) Charbroiled. Back to the tacos: the chicken one was good. If I reordered this entree, I would do chicken tacos only. The blackened catfish was a 2/5 if you added the tarter sauce. The shrimp- bland. Maybe 1.5/5. It needed the cocktail sauce. The space, medium sized. Not too loud. Not too crowded. Would I return? Yes, but no time
This place is contending for one of my favorite crawfish spots. I ordered the original flavor which is like a mild spice level, but I tasted the level 3 (extra Shazam) from a friends order and it was delicious! It added the right amount of kick without being overpower. It was spicy but you still got plenty of flavor. They're shrimp and lobster linguini and they calamari are also good. I usually go here for seafood boil, but I need to venture out and order their other seafood options. Also, they do offer a $5 margarita with checkin on Yelp, but I would skip it. It's very tart in my option. I would try the hurricane. It's not too strong or too sweet.
Great food & great service. They also give out quality gloves, bibs, & tools I just wish there was more flavor as you increase the spice level. My family & I just honestly feel the burn...but still yummy overall. Keep in mind that it's just a little bit more expensive than similar other places in the area, but it's definitely a great place for seafood. Will come again!

Finally got to try the crab station this weekend and it was super delicious. I got the snow crab legs with sausage in original sauce. The sauce was very delicious. You can really taste the garlic in the sauce and it was slightly sweet which was tasty paired with a squeeze of lemon and butter! The prices for seafood have gone up quite a bit of course but I love it so much idc lol My fiancé got garlic noodles with lobster. They liked the noodles but said the lobster was slightly over cooked and dry. The margarita was really good and I got a discount for checking in on Yelp! I definitely plan to go back and try and more items with different sauces. Overall I had a great experience and our waiter was really nice and helpful.
I went here solely for the reason that I was searching for a lobster roll in dfw for a long time. Did some searching and found this place. Online it had an epic picture of the wagyu cheeseburger as well. I went there and although the warm lobster roll tasted pretty good, for $25 it was VERY small. I know lobster is expensive but that's why I paid $25 for it. I think I finished it in 5 bites. Dont get me started on the "wagyu cheeseburger". I asked for medium and it came out well done. Dried and no flavor. Looked nothing like the picture on their website. 0/10 on the burger. Don't get it.
i visited with a group of 6 and we came late on a sunday night and there was still a 30 min wait. luckily there were several large groups that left all at the same time so we actually only waited about 15 minutes or so. they have a buy 4lbs get 1 free special for the crawfish which was perfect. we also got a pound of mussels, shrimp, wings, and 1/2 dozen oysters. if you check in through Yelp, there's a $5 margarita check-in offer!! food was great and the crawfish was still large! overall the food was great. the service on the other hand...first it took forever for the waiter to come over and take our order, then they kept forgetting multiple things that we asked for. our ranch for the wings, waters, i ordered a mango margarita and received a regular flavored one, extra lemons, etc. we asked how long it would take for the crawfish to come out and they were like 5 min! ...15 minutes later we asked for them to check on our food :/ food was good, but had the service been better i think we would've enjoyed our visit much more.
Soooo yummy!!! I am incredibly surprised how good this place is! Service was fantastic! I ordered snow crab and shrimp and my server was able to break them for me. She was so patient and helpful. The pan sauce with seafood is 10/10! Its incredibly flavorful and the serving is HUGE. I recommend you share the meal. When you walk in, the place is quiet and its a great place to enjoy cajun inspired food at a great cost. I look forward to coming back! read more

We stopped by The Crab Station after our original spot was too packed. The place is clean, inviting, and has a great patio with lights perfect for outdoor dining. Service was excellent and our beers stayed cold all night. We ordered crawfish with "shazaam" seasoning, a Caribbean platter, and snow crab legs. The crawfish were big and well-cooked but lacked the spice and seasoning I expected. The crab legs were good but had a Caribbean jerk flavor I didn't love . I prefer a spicy Cajun style. We also ordered the garlic noodles, noodles were overcooked and lacked flavor. Overall, nice place and great service, but I probably wouldn't go back. Still worth trying if you want different seasoning options for your seafood. read more

My husband and I enjoyed going to the Crab Station with our large group (14 guests total). We appreciate that the restaurant was able to accommodate for all of us given how small the interior is (they pushed all the tables together), and also by how flexible they were to providing extra seating if we needed. The food was delicious with spices that were well blended, and their margarita was awesome! Just the right amount of alcohol to flavoring. We'll definitely be coming back again for more group get togethers. read more

Came here a couple times and each time was a good experience except once I came during a time crawfish season just ended and they told us they used frozen crawfish and it was just bad and old and the crawfish meat stuck to the shell ( which is usualy a sign it's not good) so I would never get frozen seafood if I were you. It's more a 3.5 stars because that one time with the frozen crawfish was just horrible. I definitely like the shrimp and crab legs here and would reccomend those for sure! Get the extra shazam sauce its perfect!! Little spicy but great flavor! They have a hh too but I havent been yet so I might try that another time ! read more

*I changed the rating because they replaced this meal, but I wanted to keep the review so that you guys are aware* My wife and I absolutely love this place, however we had no idea their bags are not oven safe. We wasted $100 and we didn't even get to enjoy our food. My wife let out a yelp when she realized the plastic melted. It's actually a great joy to eat here and we often warm our crab and shrimp in the oven when we prepare it at home in oven bags. It was very disappointing to experience this. It is a treat for us to come here but now the hundred dollars we just spent went down the drain. I would love to receive a refund because we were never informed not to place these bags in the oven because we always eat there but today was an exception due to me recently having surgery. This was just sad and terrible. I'd love to give 5 stars but we just feel so sad at the moment. read more

I finally got a chance to go to the crab station, in Carrollton. I ordered the seafood gumbo, witch was with shrimp/ crab meat& sausages. The portion, was way big, for me, but I didn't mind it, because I luv seafood . I kinda got there late, but I enjoyed the peace& quite Alex, my waiter was very helpful& kind. The ambiance was very simple, but very cozy, with a small bar. If you are interested in fresh seafood, I suggest you google their location in Carrollton& pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed. read more
So good that we went here twice (and we were only in Dallas for three days)! Maybe we'll actually try their seafood boil one of these days, but we were full from just oysters and wings. We got a dozen oysters per person both times we were there. They were large and fresh, and they came out fast! There were plenty of lime wedges and accompaniments for the platter and lots of ceviche on each oyster. We also got garlic parmesan wings and Saigon wings. The garlic parmesan sauce is amazing so ask them to make the wings extra saucy. The Saigon wings are also delicious- just beware, they are pungent from the fish sauce! Awesome happy hour- love it when happy hour is pretty much all day and includes Fridays. Margaritas are huuge. Free bread pudding on your birthday! read more
My boyfriend and I came to this location. Amazing servers, food was tasty as well! I got the Boiled Seafood Snow Crabs , corn and potatoes. He got the Waygu cheeseburger and we shared some ooey, gooey, cheesy boudin balls ! My boyfriend said the Cajun Fries were the perfect amount of seasoning. The atmosphere was great ! Make sure to ask for Angelo and tip your servers! They were all so attentive and made it easier to relax and enjoy our meal, even though we came in almost 30 minutes before close Will for sure be coming back to this location! read more

A few of my girlies and I came to visit Dallas area for the weekend and wanted some seafood boil. We came here on a Sunday a little after opening. We were greeted and seated right away. Wasn't busy when we were there but later on got a bit more packed an hour in. Ambiance of the place was cool and they played 90s and 2000s music..all throwbacks! Of course that's our vibe because we're 90s babies! Our waiter was friendly and super helpful. He gave us suggestions and was also a great bartender. Super attentive for refills and to change up our shell trash buckets. We ordered 2 bags of 1 lb each of crawfish, headed shrimp, boiled eggs, corn, and potatoes with the Original sauce and it was 9/10. Crawfish were big in size and sauce was delicious but did need a little bit of something for my liking. Still overall tasty and would get again. Other foods we ordered were: Charbroiled oysters; came out sizzling and hot and it was good 9/10. Lobster roll; buttery and savory; 8/10. Cajun Fries; crispy and flavorful 10/10 Mango Limemade; tart and just right; 10/10. This fed 4 of us and was just the right amount to be satisfied. This was a good place for seafood boil. read more

Had a fantastic experience today. Order arrived as specified, and with the correct taste (and a few options too!). Wait staff very very helpful as we explored the menu and made our decision. Best oysters I've had in DFW by the way - and I've tried a few other places.... Overall - we will be back and probably will try the location in Fort Worth. Pros - high quality seafood. Great flavors Cons - Diet Pepsi. - Yuk! Improvement suggestion - switch to Coke products, please!!! read more
The Crab Station is my go to crawfish spot in DFW. The sauce for the crawfish is the perfect amount of garlic and butter mixed with spices and peppers. Currently, the live crawfish is $9/lb. What I love about The Crab Station is that they have so many options for food! From their appetizers to entrees. I've had their spicy edamame, crab claws, wings, and oysters. All of which were good! On this last visit, we tried some of their chowder which was amazing. They've extended their drink selection which is great! I love that they sell sake, and for $14-$16 a bottle, you're getting a great deal for alcohol! I've never had any complaints about the service I've received here. This time, they were even more attentive. Big shout out to the manager, Anthony, for making sure we had all of our needs! read more

Decent spot if you're craving some seafood. We waited a while to be greeted and seated (they only had 2 young girls working the to go station and taking tables). However, as we were leaving they had more people come in so it's a hit or miss on service. I throughly enjoyed the oysters and crab legs. The clams and the Caribbean was just okay. Rockefeller was definitely not good at all. Make sure you ask if they have live crawfish because apparently if they don't have live they use frozen. Decent spot for some seafood but probably wouldn't be a regular there. read more
