The service was ok. No one really bothered you. The food was delicious! Perfectly seasoned and plentiful. Lots of juice at the bottom of the bag but very messy. I would do a take out rather than eat in. read more

Food is great, decent prices, food is messy if you get a seafood boil. Parking is good.

Food was very good. I was hesitant at first because there wasn't a lot of vehicles in the parking lot. But I gotta say the crab and shrimp were very good. read more

The hostess was lovely. However when we sat down the music was so loud we could not have a conversation at our table without using a loud voice. Not a good atmosphere. When we mentioned this to the server she didn't say anything we decided to take our food to go. Good good server less than that read more

The food was average and too expensive for what it was. The service was almost none. Ambiance.... what ambiance? I've not returned.

Yes food is very good and experience was Great! Love the staff ! Crabs and Shrimp always fresh and well Season! read more

They need bigger oysters! The price def does not match quality. Smallest oysters ever and pricey.

I would NOT recommend this restaurant. I ordered the 4 piece fried catfish basket with onion rings. After 15 minutes the food arrived. Four pieces of fried catfish that were golden brown on the outside and raw inside. Oh, and the eight onion rings were cooked but with a pale brown hue. I returned my entire order. After an additional 15 minutes, a full basket of onion rings and THREE pieces of fried catfish. After an additional 3 minutes, the fourth piece of catfish arrived. The catfish was fully cooked but the onion rings were still that pale brown hue. Albany Georgia has better restaurants to spend your hard earned money with. My advice is to eat elsewhere , unless you enjoy your fried catfish on the raw side. Here's what the catfish looked like. read more

If I could rate this a zero, I would. My fiancé and I went yesterday to celebrate Valentine's Day. We got there at almost 9pm and didn't get a seat until 10 - mind you they wasn't packed at all. We sat down at 10 and no one came to take our drink order until 10:20. When they came we ordered our food as well, I ordered french fries as an appetizer and rice to eat with my seafood bag. They advised they wasn't doing any more frying for the night.. I said ok thats fine. So when they brought our seafood bags they advised they didn't have anymore rice.. I said ok thats fine. Shortly after I asked for a refill on my drink they said their drink machine was down. What restaurant doesn't have drinks???? I would never go here again. 0/10!!!!!! read more

OMG, the service, the atmosphere, the space, and the cleanliness of the restaurant were all spot on - and this is all before we even ordered the food! My husband and I were in town to take my mom to some appointments and to also do a bit of light shopping at the mall. After all of the running around, we were ready for a "hearty meal". Our first choice was Cracker Barrel (I love the country food, my mom loves to shop)! However, due to the wait and to the restaurant having only one dining area open where they were packing ALL of the diners, was a no-go for me. On our way to yet another restaurant, we noticed Juicy Crab and decided to give it a try. Great choice! We happen to beat the crowd apparently; there was absolutely no wait at all and we were seated immediately. The hostess was very pleasant and our server was super nice! We started with appetizers - wings, onion rings, and fried calamari - all very good, very filling. And the "Boom Boom" sauce was a great match with the calamari. My mom ordered the fried catfish with sweet potato fries and hushpuppies; my husband ordered the Sausage boil (sausage, corn on the cob, potatoes). I knew I would be satisfied with snacking on the appetizers, so I just ordered corn on the cob (but we did order another catfish meal to go!). EVERYTHING was delish!!! Fresh tasting and cooked to perfection. If I had to complain about anything, it would be that there was no "greenery" on the menu (salad, etc.). :o) My mom made a joke about me wanting something green and she suggested I order the "green mussels". LOL!!! In any case, this restaurant is officially one of my go-to places and I will be sure to visit when in town again. Of note, they even do the "wall of fame" thing where it seems they hang photos of famous people that have been taken at the restaurant... read more

Brought our drinks to the wrong table. Then our waitress got yelled at for doing so after I asked how much longer on our drinks. I got 1lb of clams and .5lbs of black muscles. When I got my meal it was just 1lb of clams. read more

Excellent service!! Jassmine was our server. Best customer service ever, very attentive with a pleasant spirit. Social distancing and masks were enforced. Very clean. Food was great! Will definitely visit again. read more

The Juicy Crab Albany - Waitress - Seafood Near Me - Albany, Georgia

Before you can walk to your table, the hostess gives you a mask to wear to your table... where you can remove your mask. Most of the employees were walking around with their masks under their noses. I had to potty before the waitress came. Uhm. 3 of the 5 toilets were stopped up. There was toilet paper in the floor and 1 of the 2 sinks was stopped up... and the paper towel dispenser didn't work. #RedFlag Went back to the table to the steamed oysters my husband had ordered. Uhm... they were not even edible... and not steamed at all. We let our waitress know that we would like to cancel our order, pay for the inedible oysters, and leave. She was VERY sweet. The opening manager, Tommy, came to our table... he saw the not so steamed oysters & profusely apologized. Although we had no issues paying for the oysters, he refused to let us. My review - great service, food & experience was lacking. read more

The food is a 50/50. Sometimes they season every thing perfect then other times it is a complete miss. On top of my food being bland my waitress Amber is completely rude and incompetent.. customer service needs to be # 1 read more

This was my first experience with juicy crab but I'm going to be a regular. BEST seafood I've ever had. So much flavor! Fun place to eat. My husband had the Hungry feast and I had the Four Your Special. It wasn't cheep but it was totally worth it. Look at all the seasoning they put in the bag, and this was just garlic butter and mild read more

The Juicy Crab Albany - Garlic butter and wild seasoning - Seafood Near Me - Albany, Georgia

Please provide sea shellers for your customers who have bought $60 worth of snow crab ... you owe it to them ... red lobster and MANY other seafood places do. And when you CANT provide something this standard, do something COMPLIMENTARY for them. Food was delicious - but without the right utensils you can't get to it. Plastic forks will not break through the shells and break when trying to pull out the meat. read more

Service is just like a crab...food is horrible, waiters introduce themselves then disappear.Building practically empty and still took forever to get a drinks Management doesn't help staff,stayed on personal phone. There's much more to say but I guarantee this is my LAST time going there.No wander the parking lot is always empty read more

Been hearing all the rage about Juicy Crab from friends in Atlanta. My daughter and I did our mother-daughter date night there and we enjoyed it. Value was about right...we paid $50 for a bag of juicy goodness....2 big snow crab clusters, 1/2 lb shrimp that were a good respectable size, 1/2 lb of sliced sausage, 2 corn cobs and 2 potatoes. Everything was freshly prepared. We tried the juicy sauce mild for our seasoning... it was good but a little sour for my taste. I think I will stick with just Cajun when I visit again. The place was very clean, great COVID 19 protocols and the service was outstanding! Hostess staff was pleasant, server was very attentive and manager was very friendly when she stopped by to check in. Had a great dinner outing! read more

Loved eating a Juicy Crab everything I order tasted amazing. The Juicy seasoning is a must have.

I honestly don't even want to give it a one as a grade. We came into the restaurant and there was only one other couple there we ordered our food which included a soup and a family meal of seafood 25 minutes later when nothing was on the table, and I had spoken to the waitress several times already... I asked to speak to the manager. I told him that this was no way to run a business. I could not imagine that if there was more than one person in the restaurant, how they could possibly get food out to people. He told me the soup was frozen And it took a long time to defrost well I could've gone to Walmart and bought frozen soup, that was not what I wanted to hear and his offer of giving me 20% off was ridiculous since we still have gotten nothing from me. Needless to say we left. read more

Mmmm good food I had the four piece catfish dinner was plenty of food with cajun fries and onion rings great price for the amount of food

Tonight was a mini celebration for my family. Many milestones reached this week. We had driven by and wanted to come in many times. Finally tonight we decided to try the place out. I must say we are extremely pleased with not only the service but also the friendliness of the waiting staff and the speed the food was delivered to the table. Now, to the flavor of the food. I have eaten at many seafood restaurants and a lot of them right on the coast, I have never in my years on the road or in my life tasted seafood like this. The flavor is indescribable. If there were 10 stars, I'd give 20. We will be back I promise that. Also, Jalin was our server, 10 stars to him as well. read more

The hostess was friendly and helpful however our waitress seemed unfamiliar with the drink menu and to top it off I found An insect (fully intact) in my drink Of course they removed it from our ticket however our waitress had to show several coworkers one being management before it was removed from our table and no additional discount was offered. The crab legs were big but lacked meat. read more

My first experience started off great! Our server Jalen was awesome as well as both managers. The food was NOT what I expected my sauce was bitter. The manager was very professional he apologized and took the meal of our ticket. Even though the service was great I will not come back because the food was a huge disappointment. read more

The hostess wasn't so friendly , service was super slow maybe restaurant is too big idk. There are no modifications that can be made to meal choices and pricing is a little confusing with the combos. The flavors were spot on but my overall experience was not good and I don't think I will return read more

This spot is EXCELLENT. Khadijah (our waitress) and KE (the manager) were awesome. The food had great flavor and temp. We shared the Hungry Feast and could not have been happier with it. The only way to get the same quality seafood would to be dockside at the beach. The staff paid attention to small details including the music. It's a fun environment with great food and staff. We were very impressed! read more

Very disappointed. Pulled up in front and looked at the mixed reviews but decided to give them a try. Walked in, waited a few minutes before someone came up front. Told be with us shortly after they seated the couple in front of us. Ok cool. Then we wait another 5-7 minutes and watched the hostess or shift manager find someone to take us. (9:20pm Friday night). Apparently no one wanted a party of 2 to serve. I watched servers shake their head "no". We walked out and went across the street. read more

Worst experience ever don't waste your time and money at this place. staff don't know how to talk to no body and managers on duty go right along with them. They didnt have hardly no food to serve everything I wanted had to substitute for something else. we never got refills on our drinks the place was not crowded at all and still poor service. Staff standing around on phones and laughing with one another instead of serving customers and making sure they ok. I only gave it a one bc that lowest I could give them never again . read more

We had spoken with several people who raved about The Juicy Crab, so we decided to try it out last night instead of going to Albany Fish Company... Big mistake! The hostess was rude, the waitress was rude, the food was over-seasoned and awful, and the restrooms were disgusting! After we were seated and our waitress finally came over, I asked to see the drink menu (like the food menu instructed), and she told me they didn't have a drink menu at that time. Okay.... So then I asked if they could make me a sangria or tell me what wines or beers they had, and she finally told me they didn't have beer, wine, or alcohol of any kind "at this time". I'm not sure what that means, either they've already lost their liquor license or never had it, but they'd been open since September. A dozen steamed oysters were a whopping $25, and not only were they tiny and horribly over-seasoned, they came with nothing... No crackers, no hot sauce, no lemon, no horseradish, no cocktail sauce, and we weren't even brought silverware, plates, or napkins. When we asked for cocktail sauce to mask some of the flavor, it took a half hour to come out and we were charged extra on our ticket! Needless to say, we should have canceled the remainder of our order and left then, but hindsight is 20/20. The rest of the meal and experience continued to get worse from there, and suffice it to say that we will not be back! read more

They had the best customer service. We were greeted when we walked in the door. We were seated quickly. The server came to our table and was extremely pleasant. The manager came by to check on us. It was unbelievable how well were treated. The food was wonderful. It came out as ordered and was hot. This is the best seafood boil bag restaurant in Albany. read more

Wait staff standing and dancing around the DJ, not waiting or serving patrons. Music to loud. A plastic fork was provided to crack crab shells. An absolute awful experience. Will not return... read more

Don't waste your time or money. Let me just say that I waited about 3 to 4 months before trying this restaurant after it opened because I wanted to give them time to get the recipe together so that I could get a honest first experience at this restaurant. As a person that has experienced the original Juicy Crab in Atlanta, Ga. Let me tell you this is far from it. I should've known something wasn't right when I pulled up in the parking lot, I noticed it was almost completely empty! Let me mind you it is 6pm in the evening when most popular restaurants are crowded at this time. I ordered the king crab legs , 1/2 lb of shrimp with corn,potatoes and egg. The food did not taste fresh. The shrimp was chewy and tasted overcooked, the corn tasted as if it had been sitting in juice for several days, it was so soggy. Please don't waste your time or money. read more

For starters, I would give zero stars if I could. If you have ever eaten fresh or even decent crab legs, you will be highly disappointed in The Juicy Crab. Service was OK other than waiting 25 minutes for our check. We asked for crab "crackers" (not that we really needed them due to the paper thin shells), and were given a pair of scissors. Save yourself $70 and just buy some frozen crab at the grocery store if you are in the mood for seafood. Don't waste your time or money. read more

my husband is from atlanta, so i got to try the location in duluth and was amazed. but this location is sooo great even compared to there! atmosphere is nice and fun, interior is spacious and clean, and service was excellent!! i'm usually not a big seafood person, but juicy crab has turned me. thank you to our server keisha!! everyone we came into contact with was awesome!! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at The Juicy Crab. We had the fried shrimp and catfish, sweet potato fries and a side of cole slaw. The food was great and the catfish was outstanding. Service was excellent. Everyone was friendly. I recommend this restaurant and will be going back. read more

It's fairly New but has great service. The staff is fantastic and has excellent manners. 10/10 recommendation and the live dj is the best!! When it comes down to the food there are no words just come! read more

Came down to visit friends and family, and just had to see if Juicy Crab is everything people keep saying. My boys and I went for dinner so let's start with the outside. The parking lot was clean and very well lit. As soon as you open the door you are greeted by friendly faces and an aroma that makes you think you haven't eat all day. The hostess got us settled into our booth and let us know our server would be by shortly. Not even 45 seconds later Nikita was at the table greeting us and taking our drink orders. We ordered our drinks and wings (appetizer) they were out quickly and smoking hot. Some of the best wings I've ever had at a non-wing establishment. I could actually see myself ordering wing trays for events, but I digress. The manager KE came over and told us that the food would be great or exceptional, and that there were no other options, because of it wasn't he would make it right (talk about making the patron feel at ease and excited to eat). Nikita went over all the flavors and spice levels so that we could make the right decisions for our taste buds, and she was spot on. The food was plentiful. We ate there, had some late last night, and I'm finishing my wings as I type this, and yes the wings are still good. Before we left the GM, Colin stopped by to make sure that we enjoyed our meal and thanked us for dining in their establishment. Hands down one of the best dinning experiences I've had in a long time. Friendly staff, delicious food, and great value. Well be back for sure! I wish I had taken pictures, but the food was so good we were too busy eating to document it. read more

When you go ask for Jassmine, she'll get you right... Excellent customer service and excellent food, you can't beat that... Definitely will be back soon read more

Was not as good as I thought it would be. The seasoning was off, the potatoes were not salted correctly. Overall I was not impressed.
