A waiter smelled like a full ashtray and the bartenders were vaping while on duty the whole time we were there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was not inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think they just lost a customer. read more

Found a fly in my water cup (make sure to check). Other than that, it was great! Make sure to only come for LUNCH, because the lunch special is significantly cheaper than dinner price. - Deep fried oysters 0.9/5 Thin and over battered and weird tasting, pass. The Cajun fries it comes with is amazing. Very crispy, tastes good, not overly seasoned. - Shrimps were cooked well. - Mussels - a few of them tasted funny... The extra spicy isn't extra spicy, seems more of medium spicy. Ask for lots of lemon on side with a dipping cup. Put salt and pepper in it and squeeze the lemon. It's a great dipping sauce! read more

The seafood is amazing with the right seasoning. I make my way to eat twice a month with my wife. I recommend this restaurant to everyone

This restaurant is NASTY. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom doubles as a storage closet, the floor was sticky, and the roof was leaking, like they had AC problems.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fine, no complaints, but the food wasn't nearly what it should have been for the price. Minimum wage cooks read more

Great seafood. The special seasoning flavor was so good. I had crab legs, shrimp, crawfish, corn, potatoes, eggs. It was fresh. The service was par excellent. Very attentive making sure that I didn't want for anything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quiet, clean and it doesn't smell seafood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend it as a tourist read more

first impressions, they have a banned board upon entry, not sure what went down but this comes into consideration. Great hushpuppies thoroughly enjoyed them, ok service, no complaints, good aura, little sticky, good lemonade! as a new englander i can say the calamari was a little rubbery but uhm maybe better luck next time read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]All tables were covered with butcher paper ready for all the good stuff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely go back when in the area. read more

I recently stopped by , and I have to say, the service was surprisingly delightful! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile, which instantly made my day a bit brighter. Ms Christie was friendly and attentive, making the whole ordering process smooth and quick. Most of the time she already knows what we're gonna order ugh I love her All in all, it was a quick and pleasant experience. Sometimes, you just need some good food and some fast service, and this place delivered on both. I'll definitely be back THANK YOU CHRISTIE!!! read more

Food was awesome .service was right in and very attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great Cajun food and kid friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Stopped by for something different than burgers and deep fried stuff. Ordering was very easy and I went with the crab legs/shrimp/sausage combo with lemon pepper (the least salty option). Service was quick and efficient, food arrived super fast and it was a nice, satisfying meal. Would not recommend other seasonings if you have high blood pressure. read more

The Mighty Crab - Texarkana - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Texarkana, Texas

Under new ownership. Less food, higher prices. Food WAY overcooked. Ordered Wednesday special, crab and shrimp so overcooked you couldn't get it out of the shell, ordered it mild, it came out hot. They replaced half the crab you used to get with an extra potato. Now apparently you have to beg for stuff they used to put in your bag, like utensils, butter, napkins, wet wipes, gloves. Won't be going back, no longer worth the price. read more

Wife and I were Passing through. craving a little seafood. I was reminded that you don't order raw oysters this close to the Midwest on a weekday. I ate the first couple and gave the rest back. I travel quite a bit, these were close to the most disappointing ever.I asked the server not to take them off my ticket. I should have known better and "nessa" our server was a sweetheart of a gal. Gumbo was better than decent. Crab cakes less than average. The Boudin eggrolls were a slam dunk. Love Boudin, never thought of putting it in an eggrolls. Overall I bet this place is probably pretty Good Friday-Sunday. We'll stop again in November when we come back through if it falls on those 3 days. read more

Always yummy & fantastic service! My favorite is the snow crab and corn! And you always have to get the "mighty special" because the flavors are just *chefs kiss* read more

Great seafood for being so far from the ocean! Service is good and although it was a little pricey it was expected being so far from the coast. I'd definitely go back! read more

Great place! Hot tasty food! Get the mighty mix seasoning hot! Crab snapped properly probably because it wasn't frozen first. Made extracting meat easy. Pricing was on par with boils. Service was so-so. Just reflected that in the tip. But you won't be disappointed with the food. We had tried lobster tails, shrimp, scallops and of course crab. read more

I came last week with two coworkers. I love a crab boil and I always look for one when I'm out of town. Texarkana had a couple to choose from but I picked Mighty Crab because they had specials that I knew my coworkers would like and it looked clean online. They had never eaten a crab boil before so they were looking forward to it once I told them. They really loved the experience and the food. Everything was great all around. The service was kind and prompt and everything was very clean. The food was tasty as can be :) the prices were especially awesome. I couldn't believe how cheap it all was compared to when I eat a boil in a tourist town. I'll def go back when I'm in the area again. read more

Looking to try some local seafood places so we went to the Mighty Crab at about 4:00 in the afternoon. The food tasted good, kids shared the $33 Friday special with crab, lobster, and shrimp in garlic butter and the wife had her own too in garlic butter mild spicy. I went with the $45 king crab legs, Cajun with medium spice, which only had two legs and didn't seem like a full pound to me...maybe it was, the service was good. I ended up finishing my wife's meal and bagged the kids shrimp to go. I however was disappointed to hear the male bartender cursing loudly to his coworkers, around not only my kids but the other children that were there too. Also if you go there, make sure to ask them NOT to add MSG to your food, makes you feel full when you've barely eaten anything. 4 stars for the MSG and the cursing. read more

This is in the former location of Hopkins Ice House. The seafood was delicious. If you like medium spicy, the Mighty Special seasoning is good. Bee, our waitress, was pleasant and helpful. The bar can make to order. Try mixing and matching the 1/2lb of seafoods, crawfish too. They provide gloves and bibs, recommend wearing,! read more

I'm really disappointed with this restaurant. I had pretty high hopes. This restaurant is on the high end for price. (Think like you're going to Joe's Crab Shack). The flavor of their food is excellent, don't get me wrong. But the most expensive item we ordered, they bombed at. I ordered the Saturday special (snow crab, lobster, shrimp) for $34 which came in a steam bag. STOP DOING THIS. It caused my lobster tail to be way over cooked, shriveled up and sad. The shrimp was better, maybe the shell saved it? The crab was the saddest part. All the meat was so over cooked it stuck to the sides of the shell. I couldn't pull any of it out. The legs wouldn't break cleanly, they were like bending rubber. They provided a plastic fork and a leg cracker. A plastic fork, y'all. Why?! The raw oysters were still attached. I'm used to most restaurants detaching them so they slide right off. Nope. Me and my tiny fork wrestled to pull off the oyster meat. They have their own drink menu. Creative, right? We asked what was in one of the drinks before ordering. Server left and came back. We were told "xyz, but the bartender said we can't tell you everything because it's their own creation." Okay, bartender... I can appreciate that you have your own craft, but we aren't there to steal your drink menu. You have a duty to your customers to disclose what are in the products you sell. We weren't asking for specific measurements. It was ridiculous. If you want to keep it safe, order the hush puppies and something fried. read more

I have been wanting to try crawfish for years but was always uneasy about them. This place has created a fan of crawfish!! Every bite was super flavorful. The service was pretty fast considering it's all freshly prepared for each order. Highly recommend if you're craving some yummy seafood at a very reasonable price. read more

First off the food is great, but the workers are weird as hell! I was sitting at a booth and eating my crab legs. Then the bartender was talking about sex positions to these two women couples. And he just kept going and I was trying to ignore it. But it just kept getting worse read more

I went to the location in Texarkana, upon going to the bathroom there were NO pape towels to dry your hands, the faucet was running at a slow stream (it wouldn't shut off) and the trash cans were overflowing where trash was all over the floor. I went to the bathroom in the front of the store. It was just as disgusting as the rear bathroom. Also the front bathroom had an electrical hand blower that did not work. I asked to see the manager, she looked like a deer in headlight. I informed her of the mess of BOTH bathrooms. I told her how can the servers and cooks clean their hands (also) the customer. She have no answer! I immediately left. This store should be shut down! read more

I had this deliver via Grubhub. They provided everything I needed for a shrimp boil right in my hotel room. It was so good.

Came here only a few days after it opened. With that being said, going to a restaurant right after it opens, it's normal to experience below average service. However, I felt the service and food was excellent. I got crab legs, shrimp, lobster and sausage. I did the seasoning in the Might Crab seasoning with the spicy spice. It came with potatoes and corn. It was AMAZING!!! Definitely best in town. Can't wait to go back. read more

The Mighty Crab - Texarkana - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Texarkana, Texas

We decided to try this restaurant because we wanted something Cajun, spicy, and seafood and they had it all. We ordered the Saturday special and my husband and i shared a pound of crawfish. The crawfish were triple the going price right now! They tasted different than fresh crawfish that we get from other places. The food was ok but not worth the $114 for two people. The food comes out in big bags that hold allot of juice so make sure you wear the bibs!! And get plenty of napkins because you will need them. We will not be back. read more

Delicious food! I really enjoy the shrimp with heads on and the extra spicy sauce with all the seasonings.

We went to Mighty Crab for the first time on January 4th, 2024. The drinks were awesome. The bartender was great. The food however was different. I was supposed to have mild but they mixed mine up and made it hot. I sent it back. I'm assuming they rinsed it off and boiled it again. I've been eating seafood since I was a kid. The amount of seasoning on the food was way too much. It was just clumped on everything. I love some seasoning but that was way too much. The hot I got the first time burned my mouth so bad I couldn't enjoy the food after they redid it. I hate to spend that much money and can't taste my food because they messed up. read more

Yummy, yummy, yummy. We stopped by on our way to Tennessee. Great flavor. Great service. Highly recommend when driving through town or if you live in the Texarkana area ... this little gem is the place to go. read more

My Mother and I wanted to try the The Mighty Crab. We love Crab Legs. Well, we will not go back. We were seated promptly. That was it. We did give our drink order to the hostess who said that 'Lizzy' was busy at the moment. We waited for 20 minutes. NO Lizzy, There was a young lady working that isle who looked at us several times. She did not acknowledge us nor did she take our order. There was a group at the end of our row that she sat with. (small table) If that was Lizzy. Who knows. We left after 20 minutes. We were disappointed ! read more

Ordered Dungeness crab, came out quick but was inedible. Got through two legs of horrible chewy flavorless meat before I had to spit it out, six legs were 32$ by the way. Service was not great, rude and ran my card twice and was not corrected. Smell was of old food and bleach. Not a forty dollar experience lol. read more

This restaurant caters to people that do not know what good boiled seafood is suppose to taste like. I am from South Louisiana, New Orleans. I've been cooking and eating seafood all my life. In fact I have an unwritten rule that people from Louisiana should never waste seafood. I confess that I ate most of the seafood served at this restaurant. The boil crab was overcooked and most of the meat was mushy. I was glad that they gave me a bib and gloves because all of the seafood was oily. I have never eaten boiled seafood that is floating in oil. So far five hours after eating the food I am not sick. If you know what good boiled seafood is supposed to taste like you may want to steer clear of this restaurant. I have a feeling that whoever cooked my shrimp and crab used Asian seasoning. That's the only way I can explain why my seafood was floating in so much the oil! Spicy Chinese and Thai food uses spicy hot pepper oil to flavor their food. Gulf seafood should be boiled in Shrimp/Crab Boil (I like Zatarain's) with salt, onions, lemons, garlic and bay leaves. What you put on it, after you boiled it, is up to you! read more

Y'all......ohh my goodness! This place was delicious!!!! The outside of the building doesn't say mighty crab it just says seafood bar. Once inside it's super clean and decorated very cute with fish and crabs and even sharks hanging everywhere. But most importantly the fish.....tasted so fresh and was very hot. We got our food very fast. They have three options for fry's, regular Cajun or sweat potato. The Cajun aren't super spicy. Taste like a traditional curly fry but straight. Delicious! We got the lunch portion and could definitely split it. Our waitress was also so sweet and very attentive with out being smothering. We asked to speak to the manager to tell them how happy we were with service and food and she was incredibly sweet as well. We drove about an hour and a half for business and definitely will just road trip next time we want some delicious fish! Next time we want to try the fish sliders! And definitely bringing more fish lovers with us! read more
