    Came here for the first time based on a recommendation from a friend and had a really great experience overall! The vibe was fun and lively, and my server was super down to earth and chill. He was friendly, incredibly patient, and handled everything with ease -- even when the guys behind me kept asking him the same questions over and over. He never lost his cool and answered them every time with a smile. Since it was my first visit, he also took the time to walk me through the different sauce options which I really appreciated. I ended up ordering the Caribbean sack, which came with crawfish, shrimp, a potato, corn, and sausage, and I added an extra corn and sausage cause those are always my favorite :) I ended up choosing the original seasoning because I overheard my server telling the guys behind me the next one up is a pretty big jump and kick -- in hindsight, I probably should've gone one level up but I suppose that just means I'll have to come back and try again! The seasoning itself was more of a thick, chunky sauce (the server described it as an "everything but the kitchen sink" type of seasoning), which was different from what I'm used to. My family usually makes our seafood boils with more of a liquid-based, cooked in a pot with a seasoning bag rather than coated in something so heavy. Because of that, I ended up taking a paper towel and wiping the sauce off the corn but h didn't mind it coating the crawfish and shrimp. Those guys were HUGE and incredibly juicy, which more than made up for all the goopy sauce. All in all, it was a delicious dinner with great service, a fun atmosphere, and solid seafood! Glad I gave it a try!

    Bangin' Boudin Balls

    went in because Goodfellas were behind in the kitchen and this was right next door. I will say y'all did a great job! Boudin balls were hot and cheesy and delicious and the Fried Oysters were PERFECT! crispy on the outside and juice inside with a spicy mayo that went perfect! service was great and sat at the bar and it was nicely appointed! thank you for a great night!

    Bangin Boudin Balls - were great! Would get again!  Calamari was more similar to frozen fish sticks, not great
    Gabriella S.

    Always quickly seated and great service.. Calamari reminded me of frozen fish sticks, would not order again. Wings were also not the best, but at a seafood spot, that's on us for ordering. Boudin balls were delicious, would def get those again. We'll be by again, can't beat the convenient location!

    Thee coolest server ever!

    I love this place! You can smell the seasoning in the air as soon as you walk in the building . The customer service is phenomenal. The staff is such a joy. I've had my birthday dinner here the past two years! I appreciate that, unlike other establishments, if there are 15 people in a party, they will split the check 15 ways! Regrettably, I forgot to take pictures of our food before we inhaled it

    Shrimp boil and oysters Rockefeller
    Jessica W.

    This has been my absolutely favorite place for the last year. Shrimp is always large and cooked well. Best price too at $16.99. Oysters Rockefeller were delicious and a meal all in its own. Boil bags have always came out within 5 mins. Last couple times we've been here have been a little confusing though. The sauce has been veryyy thin last two times. This was our favorite place because the sauce was always super thick and scoop-able. Last time right when walking in the door, we were told there is only one waitress so to please be patient. The table next to us seemed tired of their long wait for hamburgers (who goes to the Crab Station for a burger, tbh). If you order a boil, it comes out super quick! Luckily the owner is always helping out and giving excellent service. Hopefully more staff can be hired to ensure this place stays busy. I believe in you Crab Station!

    Was craving some cooked oysters and crab so we went here and it was great. Here's what I ordered: 6 charbroiled oysters, 6 Rockefeller oysters, 2 snow crab clusters, 1/2 lbs shrimp 1 lbs crawfish. Later we added another order of snow crab clustersService was good but they may need to up their staff because when the rush comes it, you could tell they were overwhelmed. Oysters were cooked perfectly! Although the meat was on the smaller side, taste was great. For the first batch of the boil, I thought they had overcooked it a little. My corn was mushy, the crab was a little too soft. My bf thought they were real stingy with the sauce. The second batch the sauce was more and the crab was cooked perfectly. I am pretty happy with it

    A small person of calamari
    G M.

    This wasn't entirely pleasant.. For $15 you should get a little more calamari that is a lot bigger than a dipping cup . This is probably the lowest point of my calamari experience yet. If you look at my other reviews, you can see my past experiences with better calamari. Look at this abomination in picture two - a plate so inelegant it makes a jack-in-the-Box look posh. Catfish and fries slopped like they've been through a war crime. Taste? Bad. The bill nearly choked me harder than the food. Reward? Only for surviving. One star, and that's generous. When I asked the person I went to dinner with they said that the lemonade was good

    Bread pudding

    We went on a Sunday evening. When we arrived, we were seated within a few minutes. They have tvs which was good so we were able to watch the football game. Inside is dimly lit and not very bright. Server took our order - we got calamari, shrimp poboy, one of the medium sacks + two eggs (forgot the name... maybe Arctic) to share between myself and two children), fries and rice as sides. We were given the bibs, gloves, and crackers to help open crab legs. Everything was really good and tasty. We only had a few shrimp and potato left. My son wanted dessert so we got the bread pudding which was delicious. It's pricey so be prepared to spend some $$$ when you go, lol, especially if you get the sacks.

    Market price menu 2/14/26

    Didn't end up eating here due to prices, but partner has eaten here before and says they were good. Price is what deterred us for visiting this time.

    My friends and I had a wonderful get together at this Crab Station location. The menus were accessible and clearly labeled with pricing, however they need to specify that it's that seafood item $ by the lb, otherwise newer customers who have never been to a seafood boil restaurant would have no idea what they're getting into. Overall the place was decorated well and visually appealing. Lighting was adequate and overall ambiance was fun/comfortable and casual. There was only a couple workers on the floor but they were sure scrambling as more and more customers came streaming in. Thankfully we didn't have too big of an issue with staffing, but there were times during our evening where we were just waiting on the waitress to come back. Generally, our drinks were replenished on time and when we did have any issues (one of my friend's seafood sack came out lukewarm), it was addressed quickly by staff. The food itself was delicious. The shrimp and crawfish was plump and easy to peel. Seasoning was great and the spice level was much spicer than advertised on the menu!

    : Beware of The Crab Station in The Colony! I had an absolutely awful experience at The Crab Station in The Colony. They completely mislead you on pricing and then overcharge you for everything. We ordered two pounds of snow crab and ended up not only receiving just two clusters, but also being charged for three pounds. Honestly, the food wasn't even that great to begin with, and I left feeling completely taken advantage of. I'd even go as far as to say they might need a visit from a health inspector. Stay away from this place!

Even though the employee had yet to interact with me, I am prompted for a gratuity. The photos showcasing the menu items were not helpful. For instance, the photo for the Kalua Combo showed a chicken dish and Kalua Pork. When I was prompted for a chicken item, there were no photos. I could not select the chicken shown in the entree. Unlike the online menu which included Teriyaki Chicken, I only recall BBQ Chicken and Chicken Katsu as options. Fortunately, I opted for the Chicken Katsu. For my beverage, I chose a Hawaiian Sun canned drink. My order was served within 9 minutes. The service already did not match the gratuity. When I asked about my drink, I was pointed to the display case by the kiosk. Sadly, beverage delivery was neither one of her responsibilities nor included service. On their menu, "veggies" was included in various entrees. Veggie would have been a better description as the only vegetable was cabbage leaves. The cabbage was placed underneath the chicken and pork. The water from the cabbage caused the bottom portions of the meat to be soggy. Due to being breaded, the chicken was not as affected as the pork. Of the items served, I enjoyed the macaroni salad the most. It had plenty of flavor. The Kalua Pork which were not soaked in cabbage juice had an okay taste. Not only did the breading on Chicken Katsu provide flavor, it protected the chicken meat from being soggy. While a fork was served with my food, I had to grab a knife from the dispenser. The Chicken Katsu could have been eaten with a fork alone; the cabbage would have been difficult.

My wife and I shared the 16-ounce New York Strip, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. The medium-rare temperature was spot on with a beautiful sear on the outside while remaining juicy, tender, and packed with flavor on the inside. Exactly how a great steak should be prepared. For sides, we enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. Both were delicious and complemented the steak perfectly. Flavorful, well-prepared, and impossible to stop eating. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, the team surprised us with their famous Mandarin Orange Cake and Chocolate Cake. Both desserts were absolutely delectable and a wonderful way to finish the evening. What truly sets III Forks apart, however, is the service. The staff consistently delivers one of the best dining experiences in the city. Attentive without being intrusive, professional, friendly, and genuinely focused on making every guest feel special. If you're looking for an exceptional steak, incredible food, and world-class service, III Forks Frisco is hard to beat. We can't wait to come back.
