Don't forget to look at their Daily Specials! There could be the right deal and combination for you. Their sauce is not as thick as other places I've had, and can be a bit salty, at times oily, but all still good in my opinion. I like that the shrimp came sliced open and deveined. Snow crab legs were easy to eat. Cracked them open and the meat slid out easily. The crawfish were meaty, just wished there were more. I love crawfish way too much. I've only had their food delivered. They're quick and decently priced. read more

I'm honestly so surprised by the low ratings yall cause I just had this place last night (doordash) and it was amazing! I was literally in heaven and yagurl has eaten a lot of seafood boils throughout her life. Ever since I was a wee little girl, I was eating fish heads, crab guts, shrimp heads, you name it. The shrimp and crawfish here are huge and the flavors were so well balanced. read more

The Mighty Crab serves seafood boils. They are located within New Grand Buffet. No indoor dining as of COVID but they have outdoor dining. There are daily specials which can feed two people. I had the Wednesday special consisting of 1 pound of headless shrimp and some snow crab legs. They have three types of seasoning, cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic butter, or you can choose a mixture of all three which they call juicy special. They can also adjust the spice level. They provide bibs, gloves, and hand wipes with an order. The food was pretty good, but the seasoning wasn't very flavorful. I had mine with the juicy special and no spice. The flavor was salty and buttery. Might be because I asked for not spicy. The seafood comes with some corn on the cob and red potatoes. Shrimp was good and not overcooked, unlike the corn. Surprisingly, my favorite were the potatoes. Nice place for seafood boil if you live nearby, but I would not go out of the way to come here since there are much better boils elsewhere. read more

This is a good place to go if you like the buffet, but they also offer a full menu, which we didn't ask the first time we went there. They don't have many dishes I would like to enjoy as a buffet, but I liked the broccoli cooked with the chicken. That broccoli was crispy and not overcooked. I also enjoyed the shrimp cocktails and baby clams. The crabs were delicious too. I didn't care for desserts. The salad section looked good. The service was good but I could see they needed more staff. read more

Ordered online using menufy as listed on their website. Arrived and they did not receive the order. As I was willing to still give them a try, I ordered in person and waited for the order in person although I was already in a time crunch. Went home and the food had no flavor or spices. I ordered 1 lb crawfish and 1 lb shrimp with their mighty juicy seasoning and spice level: HOT. The crawfish tasted as if it had been boiled in plain water and had no exterior seasoning besides minimal oil tasting like flat vegetable oil. I was and am highly disappointed...and I have no idea how this place has received semi positive reviews thus far. Will not give this place another try and suggest you do not either. Try out a place that respects your business and tries to produce good food instead of doing the minimum by ripping off customers. P.S. location was in a former buffet and could use some tidying up. Check out their restaurant rating before making a decision if you dare. read more

Entering the building I should've known this was going to be a horrible experience. The smell is like old seafood that's been sitting out all day. They charge $22 per person && the food is nowhere near edible. Servers barely speak English and when they do they are very rude. Hair, bugs, food all over the place you name it. If you need an excuse to not go to work the next day eat here. They also have the audacity to put a sign when seated any food wasted will be another 30% charge on your bill.

They picked up the food and put back in the tray. There aren't that many kinds of food to choose. The sauce area are extremely dirty. It feels like this place is running by a bunch of homeless people. I feel they just treat the customer like feeding animals. 3 people cost 76. The waitress just standing by us and staring at the pen when we sign the tip, we gave 85 and she just fucking rude and keep asking how much how much? 85? How much? Fxxk! This place is a fucking joke!

A few weekends back my boyfriend and I were feeling.. extra. The night before we went to a steakhouse and decided to keep splurging. We haven't had Cajun food for a hot minute. Try 8 or 9 months. Yes, risky ordering a seafood boil via delivery but it was still hot when it arrived! The make your own combo is the way to go IMO we opted for the snow crab, crawfish, and shrimp. You really need to have patience with crawfish but totally worth it. The portions were large and we go for the garlic butter sauce. We're wimps and both have zero tolerance for anything spicy. We had ordered through seamless and the total all said in done was around $100 after tip. read more

The seafood boil was not fresh. It was very fishy and the crab meat was tough (you can see in the pic). I got 1lb which was about 4 crabs and had to throw them all away because they were unedible. The sauce barely had flavor it was mostly just salty. I'm going to stick with oceanic boil. It's more expensive but you know you are getting fresh seafood with good seasoning. This is my 2nd time giving this place a chance and it was still disappointing. I wish they will take this feedback into consideration and hope they do better in the future. read more

Entrees - blackened Sesame Salmon was just okay and dry. Crispy roasted French chicken, didn't have any flavor - the chicken was just okay, the green beans had bacon in it that tasted overcooked, I almost didn't recognize that it was bacon. There was no cream, fat, or richness to these entrees that I expected to get from a New Orleans styled restaurant. The appetizers were better than the entrees. There was no weight, or layered flavors to the dishes. I almost feel like this was more of the restaurant catering to the audience, instead of staying true to what it was designed for. As the time passed the environment became less alluring and felt more like a chain - the music was some awful top 10 If the restaurant stayed true to the website it could have been the cutest experience to stumble upon.

I ordered $200 2pound dinner of crab and lobster. What showed up was less than a pound…read more I called the restaurant to alert them this where I was told it doesn't matter how much it weighs. A lobster tail would charge $64 for less than a third of a pound and $140 for two crab legs that equal a half of a pound and the restaurant told me to deal with it. They blatant rip off at the restaurant acknowledge that that was how they charge. To charge me $65. for a quarter of a pound of lobster tail is criminal. I will never in the history of all mankind ever order from establishment again as the last time I ordered I got a very nice size meal and this I now have to go order a pizza so I can get full. Shame on you for starting $200 for .8 pounds of food. Disgusting unprofessional, and shameful. Other than that, hope everybody's having a great day.

Not to be confused for its smaller location (#1) IBN Hamido has not only overshadowed its sister…read morelocation, but has become one of the most recognized seafood spots in the borough. The demand is so far through the roof that there is a nightly line for hungry folks looking to get a bite of their of their Egyptian / Mediterranean fare. By Ditmars standards, the place feels large and spacious. Their renovation from a few years ago is really paying off, Waiting is a part of the experience, as folks will eventually pick items from the display and cooked to their liking. It's hard to go wrong with anything on the display which for me include stheir chunky octopus tentacles, their succulent butterfly shrimp, grilled fish, and tasty grilled scallops. For a good time, combine it with babaganoush, lemon potatoes, beet salad, and wash it down with a mint lemonade. Service isn't the warmest, but dealing with a bunch of folks in line all day always creates a hardened attitude. Most are fluent in Arabic and English. While waiting in line, be sure to look at what's being served or have a list handy for ordering quickly. Your linemates will thank you. __________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/hamido-seafood-astoria-5
