    This was a request from our daughter and since we've been to New Orleans many times didn't think much of it. Well, let me tell you we were pleasantly surprised how good the food was. You get plenty to eat and if you go on Wednesdays you get a free order of Snow crab. This is a major YES!

    I've seen advertisements for Fatty Crab and its seemingly omnipresence's on Social Media and was excited about trying this Cajun/Creole place. Will it remind me of home......insert thinking emoji. The place is a nice size and they have definitely taken lessons from those popular joints in my neck of the woods. I met some friends here after work with a couple of their little ones. It was one of the ladies birthday (not actual birthday but she celebrates the entire month) The menu is expansive and there are some items you don't expect to find here in South Florida like Frog Legs and Corn Ribs. Surprising indeed. The offerings are everything from standard seafood boils, soups, Beignets to pasta and rice dishes. We ordered a variety of items for the table and Chicken Fingers for one of the kids Fried Shrimp and myself, mi amiga and one of the other kid ordered Boils we all ordered different Boils, Snow Crabs, Mussels/Crawfish, Mussels/Shrimp. We all got the combination spicy sauce, even the little one. My mussels and crawfish were good the sauce was pretty decent. I tasted something from all the Seafood Boils and the seafood was cooked perfectly. The Frog Legs were also cooked and seasoned perfectly. The Corn was good as well. The service was good even though our waiter was training, he did a good job. The manager came over a couple of times and participated in our shenanigans. A great time was had by all even the little ones enjoyed themselves.

    Amazing Seafood Boil!! We came on a Tuesday so they had the AYCE option for $25. We ordered the: -fried calamari -fried catfish -seafood boil: shrimp, clam, crawfish in dynamite sauce. The sauce is SO SO GOOOODD. Our server Anita was so quick and super nice. I will definitely come back when we are in the area again. It is a family owned restaurant. One of the members came by all the tables and thanked us for dining and choosing them. I loved this!!

    Poor Quality Food for 79$

    This is an honest review. It's not worth the $39 plus service charge and taxes. The food is awful, and it's not even buffet-style--it's more of an order-as-you-eat setup. The lobster costs extra at $79. Honestly, you're better off going to Harvest Buffet, which is far better than this place. This restaurant feels like a scam.

    Went for the Sunday AYCE brunch deal, and it was very delicious! There was great r&b throwback music playing, which I thoroughly enjoyed The food was top-notch, I ate as much snow crabs as I could physically eat. The dynamite sauce is always my go-to. Service was great even considering the busy volume during the day, always making sure our orders were entered and food came with reasonable wait times. Highly recommend coming here for brunch!

    All you can eat for $39.99! I'm not a seafood person, but the other 14 people I was with definitely were. Luckily for me, they offer plenty of other dishes and sides that aren't seafood. FYI-- To do the all you can eat deal, everyone at your table has to participate. You can only order three dishes at a time, so for my first round, I went with the chicken tenders (3 pieces), corn ribs (4 pieces), and chicken pesto pasta. The portions were on the smaller side, which I actually appreciated--it made it easier to try more things. Overall, the food was pretty decent, but I know the real stars of the show were the seafood boils! The vibe here is high-energy and loud (they had a DJ), and the service was great. They also have a drink special: 2 drinks for $22.

    Why is this so congealed?

    12/30/2025 7pm. Worse experience ever. I'm not sure how to even begin this review. 30 min wait was no big deal. It was cold so we returned our car to wait. I looked at the front outdoor trash can overflowing with so much trash and the spilt drink inside at the host counter as "maybe they're just short staffed." we sit down at our table and I tell the waitress it's our first time. She looked so annoyed at me as she tried to explain how the menu worked. But so no big deal. Food took forever to come to the table. I'm talking apps took 35 min. Drinks took about the same. I ordered the $25 drink and I had a total of 2 because the wait was just too long! Calamari was complete trash. Fried shrimp was 10/10. Although I asked for some cocktail and was brought 1 that was 1/4 way full and all horseradish. I asked for more not it never arrived. Mac & Cheese was decent with 2 whole shrimp it was decent. Now.... I can toss back a metric ton of crab. Soon after the first seafood boil arrived my face started to tingle. I'm a nurse and I told my husband to go get my EPI pen (I'm allergic to bees). I had already ordered another (2nd) round of snow crab. By the time it arrived my face was so tingly I didn't want to eat or drink anything else. I went to the car. The only things I had different from my family was the drink and clams. The reaction I had was most likely caused from spoiled or properly handled seafood. I'm now at CVS purchasing some Benedryl. There is no kids menu. So you have no option for the kiddos. I will never ever return. Service was slow and rude.

    Staff were friendly. Food was okay. Gumbo was bland and missing the authentic gumbo flavor. The fried shrimp were tasty. Drinks on point.

    Absolutely one of the best restaurants in Doral and the Cajun cuisine is definitely tops. The flavors are authentic and delicious, and the portions are generous. The dining area is clean, well organized, and wonderfully decorated. The ambiance is lively with great music selection. The cocktails are creative and mixed perfectly. The best part is the staff and the service. Everyone is friendly and happy. Miki, who took care of us was simply amazing. She made great suggestions and was always available to make sure we had a great experience. I highly recommend the Fatty Crab for a great time and a truly wonderful meal.

    Came here to celebrate one of my friends birthday and the food was pretty amazing. The lobster Mac and cheese is fire with the garlic toast it was a nice touch. The gumbo soup was pretty good and very tasty and spices were perfect. A great way to start your meal. The crabs and mussels were awesome and the dipping sauces were super fire. The waiter was good and very attentive. He got the stuff of what we need right away. The environment was great and cozy.

    My friends and I make it a point to get together once a month for cigars, a cold drink, dominoes,…read moreand a healthy amount of smack talk about sports and the good old days. We rotate locations to keep it fair, and last month brought us to Doral. We started at a cigar shop, wandered into Sports Grill Doral... and never left. At first glance, it feels like a classic sports bar. But spend a little time there and you realize it's operating on a different level. The food is outstanding, the beer selection is strong (especially if you're into IPAs), every major game is covered across wall-to-wall screens, and they even have a DJ on certain nights. What really sets it apart is the service. The manager, Manny, and his team created an experience that felt intentional, not transactional. When they saw we wanted to play dominoes, they didn't hesitate. They set us up with a proper table on the terrace so we could enjoy cigars, order cocktails, and settle in for the night without feeling rushed. That level of awareness and flexibility is rare. If you're in the Doral area and want a place that delivers on food, drinks, atmosphere, and experience, this is it. Whether you're catching a game or running a few rounds of dominoes, this spot earns a return visit.

    Came here for dinner with the family and it was ok…read more The menu, while big, had no description so we had no idea what we were getting. For example, I got the "sports burger" as an entree but had no idea what toppings/sauce came on it. I got a side of fries, which could've used salt, and asked for a side of BBQ sauce to which they ran out of... on a Friday with a big football game happening. Service was on and food was ok at best. If you're looking for a quick bite, I'm sure this place is good but if you're looking for a proper meal, not sure it's "the place" to go. Also, bring a sweatshirt. The place is VERY cold.

    We didn't try the food but look good my friend order turkey sandwich he say taste good…read more The service was pretty fast , we order different beers was cold like they advertised . They have good variety of beer from different breweries we didn't try their own beer someone mentioned that it taste like Corona or Budweiser beer ,we don't drink that type of beer,except the IPA , Bourbon Barrel, Ale . The ambience was nice except was a bunch of kids with there family running around the tables and there parents let then do what they want. Look like it is normal . The place it is big with a lot tables inside and outside with 2 bar and seats it can hold a lot people . I noticed that it is not to many parking spaces I saw people parking across the street taking the risk can be tow . Check before parking. They have TV all around good when you want to see a game. The next time we will try the food Recommended to drink beer

    This fun sports bar was my post run and extended birthday celebration spot this Sunday! We sat on…read morethe patio and received excellent service from our waitress, who brought out the lit birthday brownie! I've enjoyed other locations of Twin Peaks, so I'm familiar with their elevated sports bar menu. I started with their blonde ale, yes a beer instead of my usual cocktail. It was light, not overly hoppy, and well presented with a fresh orange slice. For my food, I enjoyed their Nashville hot chicken sandwich with no pickles. The sauce was spicy yet mildly sweet. The fries we're nice and crispy and I dipped in ketchup and barbecue sauce. For dessert, I enjoyed their chocolate brownie à la mode with a good presentation by the waitresses. Both in the patio and in the restaurant, there are plenty of TVs when you want to enjoy the game. There's plenty of parking outside also.
