    Seafood boil
    Skye Z.

    It was so good. I forgot what the exact name was but it was the 2 ounce crab and shrimp only

    HAIR IN MY FOOD

    Very disgusting! I spent $130 on to go food today from juicy crab and there was hair in my food. Didn't even eat the food! Threw it away in the garbage. I'm never coming back here! That's nasty as heck. I'm very disturbed and want to know why they aren't wearing hairnets when dealing with food.

    We love this place. It helps that I get a SAMC Discount but the food was so yummy. We went for the first time with friends and the service was great, the express wonderful as they explained their menu and details on what they suggested/recommended for the visit. It was our friend's daughter's birthday and it's her favorite place to go. We can't wait to go back. It wasn't overcrowded and we were seated right away. They also had a lady doing face paintings and balloons.

    It was my first time trying The Juicy Crab at this location. I ordered takeout since it was on the way home and my order was ready super fast. I got the catfish basket for my main with some hush puppies and lemon pepper wings as appetizers. The catfish was NOT it. It wasn't seasoned at all, it just tasted like the ocean. I actually seasoned it and put it in my air fryer for a little bit of pizzazz and dipped it in alotttttt of LHS to make it palatable. The hush puppies were ok, a bit over fried, but the wings tasted fine. If I do go back I'll try their other menu options, but definitely staying away from that catfish.

    Food was not good! And customer Service was awful!. I will not go back. And I don't recommend this place to nobody.

    I was excited to try out Juicy Crab. Im kinda picky about seafood cause I grew up in Maine and live pretty inland now. Fun atmosphere, huge bar, super friendly service! My waitress was wonderful. She answered all our questions and was quick to bring out anything we needed. Fast service. My favorite part about this place is.. 2 things! Its a fun interactive eating experience. I loved sharing it with my son. Second, ooohhhh the juice! Different flavors and spice levels. So so delicious. The flavor in everything was excellent. Only eh take away was, everything was slightly over cooked. The shrimp altho yummy, were rubbery and the egg..... oh that egg. It was hard hard boiled. You couldn't even really cut it. BUT again it had the yummy juice on it. Fun place for a family 100% Juicy Crab!.... bottle and sell your juice

    Bob Marley drink
    Christian E.

    We visited again & we're happy to see they had a drink menu vs. the written one they had when they first opened; however, I was very sad to see the Bob Marley drink was no longer on the menu. Thankfully the bartender said he could still make it For me. The food was still Amazing and good portion size. Ohtham was a great server despite being busy & short staffed.

    build your own boil

    the food is really good and flavorful and my waitress was super sweet! i did the build your own seafood boil and for $35 it was perfect!

    Rice that was supposed to be coleslaw. That they didnt replace.
    Jerron C.

    Food is ok, but the service is horrible. We had to take out lunch today and ordered two coleslaws and sauces. Well, I got home two medium containers of white plain rice. I called and got voicemail luke 5 times, and then i hit the order option. The young lady answered i explained the problem she said they were out of coleslaw. I said its 1pm! Tell us dont just give us white rice she said come back and we will replace what do you want? I tokd her broccoli and sweet potato fries. She said that cost more! Well, you asked, "You're the one who incorrectly made my order. I'm using gas to come there twice. I said, "No worries, im not going to argue, and have you fix food for me?" I dont eat bag seafood anyway, and it's 3 with different names. A rock throw from each other they probably own all three. i won't eat here again for free. Order clearly says coleslaw.

    I used to get juicy crab all the time at the duluth location. I tried getting a takeout at the buford location last night and honestly it was disappointing... the inside looks amazing with a huge screen that takes up the whole wall and it was pretty packed on a sunday night. Parking was almost full. I was glad I called my order as a takeout. I ordered 2 clst of snow crab, 1lb of crawfish, 1lb of black mussels, 1lb of shrimp without heads. Total came out to be a little over $80. Everything was fresh and very meaty. But the seasoning was honestly very salty. I had the juicy special in medium. I used to get juicy special hot... maybe I'll get garlic butter next time instead

    This is my second time at this location and my most recent visit was just as pleasant as my first…read more I see that they have a seasonal menu, but I never realized that their items all have about 600 or less. Now I understand why their dessert selections were mini indulgences instead of a full dessert entree. For this visit the table ordered crab and shrimp, stuffed mushrooms as well as their avocado toast for appetizers. Each appetizer was so very tasty but I was very impressed by the stuffed mushrooms. They were delicious. The other people in my party, ordered fish dishes, and I ordered the steak and lobster. We all throughly enjoyed our entrees. Everyone ordered one mini indulgence: oatmeal cookie cream, turtle cheesecake and the key lime pie. Those mini indulgences are so good I wish it was a full entree dessert. We will definitely put this restaurant on our date night rotation.

The parking lot is a little small, there's complimentary valet (tip suggested), and some self-parking spots.

Service was lovely and the inside had a great vibe.

I recommend coming on a non peak time like weekday night if you want to enjoy a very laid back and server attentive with friendly customer service. Amy (sp?) was super helpful and friendly and brought the whole experience together. As far as the food goes, the seafood boil was fantastic! We ordered combo B and added a crab, pound of shrimp, corn and noodles a la carte and the portion was generous and enough for some take home doggie bag so I could share with my wife and kids at home. We went with the Cajun butter hot seasoning sauce and to be frank at first it was a little spicier than I expected but as we dug into the meal more the spice level balanced out and it was a truly fantastic and memorable meal. I might suggest mild or regular spice level for those who do not have a high spice tolerance. We ordered a pitcher of the premium draft IPA and we really enjoyed ourselves to seafood boil and a pitcher of fine refreshing ice cold brewskies! 5 star night, 2 thumbs up experience, and a solid 5 star for Mama's Crawfish and Wings of Suwanee!

    Overall- the food was delicious and we'll definitely be back for it…read more Something to keep in mind if you're visiting in the next few weeks: they're still new and the staff do seem to still be working out the kinks and getting the hang of things. There is a QR code on the side of the napkin holder that you're supposed to use to order, but we weren't told this so we sat for several minutes before a staff member came by and told us. Then, when I was almost done putting our order in through the QR code process, another staff member came by and asked to take our order. That was a little confusing. Judging by other reviews, it's clear we're not the only ones who hit this snag. However, the confusion could easily be avoided by having the host explain the QR ordering process upon seating guests - and this may be one of those kinks they're working on. There were a few small things like having to ask a few times for the same thing or waiting a bit to get drink refills, but they did seem a little short handed and busy when we were there. Everyone was friendly and the service waits didn't seem to be due to rudeness or laziness - people can only do so many things at one time. The restaurant itself is very cute - there is a boba tea bar where you can see your drinks being made and the menu is easy to understand with plenty of pictures for those who are still new to boba. All in all - the staff could have poured hot soup in my lap and not apologized and I'd still be back for the food. We eat a LOT of Asian food - and not the Americanized kind either. My husband often jokes that he's convinced there's a little old Asian woman trapped inside of me. Their soup dumplings are exponentially better than the ones from the new place that just opened inside the Mall of GA (those are hot garbage. Skip it); the bao was absolutely perfect, meat seasoned masterfully, I could have drank the dumpling sauce straight out of the dish. The soup dumplings (going back to those because I can't praise them enough) were just the right size to eat in one bite without choking (I don't know why this seems so difficult for other places, but it's filled with soup. If you have to bite or cut it in half, it loses the essence of it). I can't wait to go back because I want to try each variation they have! We also got the crispy chicken, pork dumplings with chili sauce, and shrimp sui mai - each one just absolutely delicious. Savory, spicy without being overwhelming, and such depth of flavor. The boba teas were very tasty as well.

    Saw this place open up around Mall of GA from afar…read more I knew it was a mistake when pulling up the front door. Looking in, I couldn't tell if it was open or closed at 7PM, but fortunately/unfortunately, it was open for business, so we went in and risked it for the biscuit. Pretty sure the soup dumpling were store-bought and re-heated + the pork had a flavor of old meat. Somehow, the pork/crab soup dumpling didn't even have crab and yet tasted more pork-intense than the regular pork one in a bad way. The Pork/Chives pan fried dumpling was better since it was actually hand-made, but still had the old-meat tastes Also, $80 for 2 people in a cafeteria setting + a server who threw plates on the table and walked away immediately is a strange experience. 1/10 for the food, 0/10 for the service. Maybe I'm jaded.

I attempted to order the crab and spinach dip with the garlic bread like I typically do at other locations, and my server told me if I were to order it with the garlic bread, it would be an additional charge and I would only get two. I was shocked. I've ordered that and other locations, and that was my first time hearing that I would be charged extra to swap out the bread and then on top of that only receive two pieces. I ordered the Texas redfish pontchartrain with mashed potatoes. I asked if I could add cheese, and I was told yes; however, when it came, there was no cheese, and our server took so long to return, I didn't even bother. In addition, by that time I was already turned off with the bland fish that had several bones, minimal sauce, and overcooked shrimp. I was extremely displeased. I wish I would have just stuck with a fried dish, such as the chicken tenders and shrimp. That would be a safer choice. Both the fried shrimp and chicken tenders were pretty good, but know that they have a kick. The brownie dessert was pretty good. It was actually the highlight of the evening after a disappointing meal. I will never return to this location.
