    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

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

    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 visited on a thurs. night.. the place looked very clean and new. i liked the vibe you get with the nadical atmosphere you see in most seafood boil places. love the huge bar in the center with the huge projector to make it fun to watch sports or something. :::FOOD::: we ordered the *steam oysters* in cajun medium sauce. pretty spicy! i liked it thought. the quality of the oysters are better than at the duluth location. crawfish = frozen... green mussels = large and meaty. i loved them! dungeness = must order veryyyyy meaty and large portion!! shrimp (head on)= i love to suck the head jucies, so thats a must for me. large portion and large sized shrimp too seasonings = i dont care for the juciy special anymore. just wayy too salty. i always go for a combo of cajun + garlic butter! and the spice level you can handle. doesnt hurt to sweat a little while going in on your seafood boil. no pain no gain! the Manager Carri stopped by, and i must say, she was absolutely wonderful. she made sure we were being taken care of and even went above and beyond to make sure we were having a unforgettable experience. Hats off to her!

    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

    I came here two times. I love getting headless shrimp with potato and corn, garlic butter flavor. So yummy and filling!! I will keep coming back :) also tried their fried calamari which is very good too.

The seafood tower is a true showstopper: lobster, crab, oysters, and all the right accompaniments, beautifully presented and genuinely fresh. You can taste the care in the sourcing. The crab claws were tender and sweet, and the sauces complemented rather than overpowered -- the old, honest way, just as it should be. The space itself is bright, airy, and modern, with a relaxed coastal feel. It's spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, and the outdoor seating with open windows in warmer weather is a wonderful touch -- inviting, easy, and made for lingering meals. Service deserves special mention. Our server was genuinely kind, attentive, and never rushed, striking that rare balance where you feel well taken care of without being hovered over. The kind of hospitality that lets the food speak for itself. All in all, Seaside Oyster Bar feels like a little seaside escape tucked into Suwanee -- honest seafood, thoughtful presentation, and a relaxed elegance that keeps you coming back. A well-earned 5 stars

I honestly can't give enough kind words for our server Tori - she was a genuine treat! Professional, attentive, kind ... just a beautiful soul.

To their credit, the staff did apologize and replaced the meal, and also offered a Caesar salad. However, the salad itself was not good and didn't really make up for the situation. The replacement entrée was fine--it tasted good--but by that point the experience was already affected. For a place like this, you expect a higher level of quality control and attention to detail. While they did try to fix the issue, finding something like that in your food is hard to overlook. Overall, just not the experience I expected for the price. Only good thing was my server he was excellent, I wish I could have remembered his name.

They have you order via a QR code that doesn't really work all that well and then they want you to order everything at once instead of like most of these types of places where you can order as you go (ex: dim sum, kbbq, sushi, etc.). We like to order as we go so we don't overwhelm ourselves with too much food at once or waste food. The pros and cons: the scallion pancake is amazing. Super thin and crispy and light. I had the pork and cabbage dumplings (pan fried) and my fiancé had the beef pan fried and beef bao. The dumplings were hot and tasty (the first round anyway), but when we finally got our second round, they were just warm. Cons, the food coming out is pretty slow and they rush you to order everything at once. The server said they were super busy but it didn't seem like there were many people in the dining room, but maybe they were just short handed. Our friends we dined with had been twice before and said this was inconsistent with the last two times they'd been there and that the wonton soup was different this time as well. We had to ask for one item in our order to be canceled because it was completely forgotten. My fiancé also ended up with an upset stomach after but the beef dumplings did seem a little oily to me. Parking is in the same lot as the building, building is well lit and accessible. Comfortable temperature and plenty of space for seating and we were seated quickly.

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.
