You would not think a Flint Michigan location would have good seafood, but boy does this place seafood boil 1 pound of crawfish and 1 pound of shrimp is always my go to and I add two boiled eggs. The service is always very friendly and the store is always very clean. The water is always very good read more

The Tangy Crab - Seafood Near Me - Flint, Michigan

It has been a year since we last ate here. This time we ordered by phone and picked up the delivery, easy and correct order. It was the flavor and oil instead of butter that really disappointed us. We ordered the tangy mix for our boil but it did not taste the same. Just oily and flavorless. Plus it seemed like we barely had any sausages. Don't know if they have new owners or what, but last time we are going here, sadly. Yep we were that disappointed especially at their prices. Hate to have to give any bad reviews. read more

First time at The Tangy Crab. We were greeted and sat right away. Kat was our server and she did a bang up job, friendly, and attentive. She went over the menu in detail and gave us some great suggestions. The food came out hot, fresh, and made just right. It tasted great just like it looked. I will definitely be back. read more

All the food is great, especially the boils! Catfish isn't bad either my favorite is lobster boil

Good food and fast service. The place to spend time with friends and family. Will be there again today.

Wow what a wonderful pleasant experience. Best crab boil I've ever eaten. Perfect! Everything was perfect. Owner/Manager and our hostess Kat all amazing. Everyone helpful and cheerful ready to make our experience special. We were celebrating an engagement, birthday and failed Covid new years plans. 6 of us sat down and did it all. This is a wonderful establishment and I can't wait to return. Thank you all very much. I'll try and post pictures if allowed. read more

Very bad service, that They only have crab, no fish dishes. I should have known that it wasn't the best place because there were no cars in the parking lot, and every time I drive by and there empty. read more

Tried this location for the first time Sunday for a belated Fathers Day meal . I would like to say that the crab bisque and the hush puppies were both excellent. I found the Cajun Boil that we split to be adequate though nothing special . Corn was very overcooked and the potatoes not quite done.. The seafood was okay and the sausage was very good. I felt that the money spent for this dinner for two was not a good value. My wife tried the shrimp basket along with the sweet potato waffle fries and thought her meal was a good deal and she also enjoyed the clam chowder ... Perhaps another time but I do not think I would do another BOIL which seems to be the house specialty . read more

The food was very good. This was the first time we had ever gone to the Tangy Crab, and we told the waitress this was our first time. She did not explain what our dining experience was going to be like. We were very surprised when the food arrived in a plastic bag and our utensils were plastic gloves. She looked bewildered when I asked for a couple of plates. She brought us paper plates. The shrimp were very good. The crab was good also but if I knew we couldn't get any utensils, I would have brought my own crab tools! read more

The Tangy Crab - Seafood Near Me - Flint, Michigan

good quality seafood for a value price. It's still kind of a pricey outing, but when summer comes around we always do it at least once. Never questioned the quality of anything I've been served, which is pretty much the only thing I look for in seafood places. The snow crab is the best read more

It's located in a busy Kroger parking lot but well worth the visit. This is one of my favorite crab places. The prices are reasonable. The food is amazing and the service is excellent. I got a crab broil with sausage, corn? potatoes, shrimp. I ordered a side of hushpuppies and wings. I had to take food home because of course I ordered too much. Will definitely come back here again. read more

Greeted by a friendly young man, and our waitress was fabulous. We were a party of four. We all ordered The Signature Seafood boil. Crab, shrimp, sausage, potato's and corn. We added noodles which I highly recommend. All of the seasoning and butter was perfect. Our meal was hot and delicious. The decor is quaint and the bathrooms were very clean. Keep up the good work. We will be back, and can't wait to try something new. Pleasantly surprised. Worth every penny. I also had leftovers for the next day:) read more

The food here is excellent. Came here several months ago and thought it was good. They have improved since. Don't know about other reviews but service here was great from Erris. Had a crab leg broil, fried shrimp appetizer and hush puppies. read more

It was excellent!!! Dungeoness crab was so good. Shrimp and clams were cooked perfectly as of the crab legs. Cant wait to go back!!! read more

The Tangy Crab - 2 kinds of crab legs, green mussels, headless shrimp and clams. Very good. Tried a place in Cleveland and this beats it by far - Seafood Near Me - Flint, Michigan

Always delicious and reliable quality seafood. The fries are particularly good. Fried oysters, calamari, soft shell crab...yum.

The food was awesome we were skeptics at first because we never had a (boil) dinner.I could not find this place in lansing for my review so as a result this review is for the flint location.we will definitely be back dispite the sewer problem (the bathroom was closed).our waiter corey was great he explained everything to us like I said awesome experience read more

We got there at 5:00 and were told it was an hour wait. We were handed a pager and told it only worked in the parking lot and if we didn't respond by the fifth page we were out of luck. We headed east a couple blocks to the West Side Bar. Total dive. Sketchy customers. Bud Lights were $1.50. So perfect, basically. My wife had set her alarm for 40 minutes. We had two beers each and headed back. The pager exploded as soon as we hit the property. The traffic was ridiculous so the wife ran in while I parked. The place smelled fantastic. Our server was lovely if a bit distracted. We ordered rangoons (standard but sweeter) and hush puppies (). The only sauce was a sweet chili (). We got the basic level boil, added dungeness and black mussels. We chose the seasoned garlic butter and no heat. The food showed up in a reasonable amount of time. We disagreed on the dungeness being better than the snow crab, agreed the sausage was great, and thought the corn was a boiled waste and the potatoes just filler. The mussels were good but play better in pasta. The shrimp were shrimp. The sauce was the real star. Everything was better dredged in it. I was pleasantly surprised to ask for Tabasco and actually get it as opposed to the common faux pas of handing me Frank's. () They just got their liquor license so no alcohol was on hand. Our bill was about $77 after tip. We'd totally go again but agree we'd ditch the mussels, corn, and potatoes and double up on the sausage. read more

We started with hush puppies which were delicious with the pepper jelly sauce. For four of us we created a boil with 1/2 lb snow crab, 1 pound head off shrimp, 1/2 lb crawfish, 1/2 lb sausage, 4 corns and 8 potatoes. It was the perfect amount but I think next time we will just get sausage and shrimp do it isn't so much work. We had the Tangy special blend which was delicious. We will be back again as it is a fun experience and great food! read more

BEST RESTAURANT AROUND FLINT. (my opinion today) Get the Tangy Special Blend (mixture). As far as heat level goes I would recommend the middle level which is 'spicy'. It is not overly hot but has enough flavor. The pasta is awesome in the sauce cause it takes on a scampi jive which pairs well with the seafood. GAHLIC!!! BAM!!! read more

Just tried it tonight will be going back! Coconut Shrimp excellent I love Hush puppies they were little small but good! Fiestas Boil feed me and hubby! read more

I guess it depends on if you like crab meat in different types and ways of being prepared

Absolutely phenomenal food! Husband and I started off with raw oysters, and shared a Build Your Own Broil as our meal. Definitely looking forward to traveling through the area again so we can stop here! Cost was very reasonable, dining area clean, bathrooms clean, and staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Their liquor license had been recently approved, so alcohol wasn't available yet. Server wasn't overly attentive, but you can absolutely tell the restaurant is understaffed. Kiona was just our style server, anyways! Accurate, friendly, and likes to laugh with us. She's great! Keep up the good work, Tangy Crab! read more

The Tangy Crab - Seafood Near Me - Flint, Michigan

We got the boil with garlic and seasoned butter. Everything was great, and the server was super nice and attentive even though he was busy. The drinks were good as well. read more

Seafood boil is the bomb diggity. Very close to the flavor of New Orleans seafood boils

We went for lunch today which was our first visit. Interior has been nicely redone and has a nice atmosphere. The service was decent, the menu offered a nice selection, the pricing was appropriate, and the food was good. They have a full bar but, we ordered no drinks so are unable to comment. The only negative was they didn't have iced tea which seems especially unusual considering the genre. The restaurant has great potential as it is the only thing like it in the county. I really would have rated it 3.5 stars if I could have and it's very close to becoming a 4 star establishment. read more

Picked up carryout with a build your own combo. Snow crab was meaty and sweet, shrimp was cleaned (that's always a huge pet peeve of mine in boils) and the old bay sauce was fantastic. Will order again. They gave me everything I needed for home - gloves, napkins, etc. Did find it odd I got spaghetti and sweet chili sauce to dip? Cocktail would've made more sense, but none of the boil required extra flavor. Place was clean and organized. Only nit picky thing I noticed was staff was on their cell phones and it took a few minutes for anyone to acknowledge me, but hey...it's tough out there right now, and if that's the only negative they are doing great. read more

Good food and a service was better than average. Have been in for lunch and dinner. Surprisingly they don't offer a lunch menu.

It was better than expected. My wife and I both had the shrimp basket. Instead of the tiny little shrimp, these were much larger and not too breaded. Our server was attentive and very nice. I believe her name was AJ. We would go back. read more

I have to admit that I have never had a seafood boil, I don't like to get messy when I eat, and my kids aren't big fans of seafood. We ALL loved tangy crab and can't wait to go back again. The server helped us in picking the best meal for my husband and I to split and my young kids were very happy with other options on the menu. The flavor was incredible and I made a mess of myself digging into the food. Great ambiance and friendly service. read more

We just visited the Tangy Crab in Flint for the first time. We all had PoBoys and they were amazing. Hadn't tried Cajun fries before but they were so good. Not at all spicy but a bit of a kick at the end. Our waiter was Lavelle and he was outstanding. Very helpful and friendly. We would ask for him again. We want to try the boil next but today it was just lunch. Next time we will go when we are wanting a meal. read more

Been here twice. Not fancy, but the boils, the calamari rings and the coconut shrimp are outstanding. Good service, nice, strong drinks. I can see myself going here often in the near future. read more

Standard Midwest seafood spot. Great effort was made to bring the best, cost effective seafood so far inland. If you've never been to the east coast or gulf it's as good as seafood gets around here. Fair prices good staff. Goonangitusome!!&$! read more

Food was awesome! We each tried a different Boil and they were all fantastic. The shrimp were 3bites big and my husband s lobster tail in his boil was nice size and sweet. Mine came with mussels which were excellent.The smoked sausage in the dishes was really good. I took home enough for 2more meals. Prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Can't imagine what these meals would have cost at Red Lobster, maybe 60 to 70.00$ per person, although I have never seen really big shrimp at Red Lobster. Ambiance was nice. Upbeat, clean. Down side was the service. Never being there before we could have used some suggestions, and directions when the meal showed up in a big plastice bag. Server was not interested in us at all. read more

Love the food and service was great. Ordering online a bit of a challenge-BUT Hit the Submit Button-learned the hard way but the staff is wonderful and made our meal happen. Will be going back for sure. Crab legs, scallops and shrimp ROCK! Butter with light seasoning. Maybe will add a little heat next time! read more

My second review of this establishment. The first was five stars. I've been several times since then, and the service has fallen off a cliff. Nearly empty restaurant, and every time there's a lengthy wait to even get approached by a server. I've had my order botched multiple times (order oyster po' boy, get oyster basket). Not a catastrophe, but if I order a sandwich, I should get a sandwich. Very long wait times for anything, always with plenty of staff standing around talking. Other reviews here say the same. What a shame, because the food is pretty good. I also notice that there's no management interaction on this page. Pretty telling about their concern. read more

Lavelle was absolutely awesome! He was rocking the whole restaurant and giving us great service. I highly recommend asking for him. Tangy, I hope you pay him accordingly hourly because he deserves above server minimum wage!! Jamie and Monica will defiantly be back to see you! read more

The Tangy Crab is a new restaurant in the area. Food is great loved the lobster soup. The wait is long about 45 minutes but that's on the governor not them. Limited capacity increases wait time. Would defiantly come back again. read more
