We loved this place! The Crab snd Shrimp were amazing! I got the mixed seasoning and my husband and daughter both got the Cajun medium. They said if they would have got hot it would have been too hot! Delicious! Messy! And so fun! Don't miss this place! You won't regret it I promise. read more

The food was amazing and well worth the price. I got the snow crab leg and shrimp boil. The crab legs were a very good size and the shrimp was really good. I got more food than I expected as well. Jason was our server and he was very helpful and absolutely amazing! His word is as good as gold when it comes to the food there. I'd definitely recommend this to friends and I will be returning AND asking for Jason. read more

Stopped in here because I've been to several similar locations in California that serve boil bags EXACTLY like this and I was so excited that this place showed up here! The menu is pretty clear, laying it out in steps of how you order. It even states you'll receive a corn and potatoes for each item (pound) ordered. I got the green lipped mussels, clams and shrimp (head on) because I know where all of that sauce goes when the heads are on! I also ordered white rice, which I strongly recommend. You can pull the shrimp out of the bag and leave them on the white rice as you peel and eat them allowing the sauce to drain into the rice turning it into Cajun deliciousness! I also added sausage to my bag because it's amazing! If you're a person who doesn't like to get their hands dirty, avoid this place. If you're a person who loves a great Cajun seafood boil (and not that fake Joe's Crab Shack thing) this is definitely the place for you! read more

First timer and it was very good! I did the seafood combo and we shared the calamari as an app. Tables could have been bigger but overall very nice! I will be back. read more

Out of all the seafood places in Columbia this one is #1. Great service & the food is everything! If you're wondering which seafood spot to visit service no more. This is it! read more

I ordered a take out order via telephone. The "manager" that I spoke with (she said her name was Ms. McCray or McRae) was very rude and unprofessional. She was acting like a "wild crab." Additionally, the pick-up for to go orders is very unorganized. Please do not come here or order take out from here if you want courteous and professional service. read more

I have been twice and it's not juicy crab but it was closest to the other ones (yummi and Crafty). Why is sausage extra?

We had read a lot of bad reviews so we were skeptical. Decided to give it a go. Wait time was non-existent when we went. Server was prompt. Lots of people waiting to help guests. All looking professional and eager. I got crab legs and all the seasonings offered with medium heat. Next time I will get no heat. Was too hot for my liking but not unbearable. The sausage amd potatoes were my favorite. For the money I'd like another piece of corn and larger portion of sausage. The eating out of plastic bags with gloves and a bib on is different. Unique. At the time they only had beer and wine. I'm not sure if a full liquor license is coming. read more

With the new craze of seafood boil restaurants popping up around town it's hard to choose which one you want to go to. Found Wild Crab one day when I was actually headed to get pizza but decided to go to the place next door. The atmosphere is nice, the restaurant is clean and smells inviting soon as you walk inside. The food comes out very fresh and it is soooo good. It is a messy experience but they provide you gloves and a crab bib to help with the mess. But I promise the mess is worth it. The price is pretty average for seafood places around and there are lots of options to choose from. Can't wait to come back again and try a different combination other than snow crabs and headless shrimp. read more

Went there last week. The manager said they were working on new staff training but happily took us. I got the snow crab and shrimp combo with wild sauce - hot. The flavor was incredible. I think the crab legs could be a bit better (bigger), but still very fresh and good. I'll be back. read more

Tried this new place in town tonight. We loved it!! definitely a splurge but you get a good bit of food for the price. Best way to describe it is Joe's Crab Shack but better! read more

Fresh food, great service, very friendly waitress KeeKee served me and my family. We'll definitely come again.

Awesome. OMG so good. Service is not that great but the waiter we had was new. The was so tasty. I cannot wait to go back. It is messy but worth it. read more

Service was fast and friendly. I had the 1lb crab and 1 lb shrimp (headless) with mild wild seasoning. It was very good. It was messy and a bit of a challenge eating the crab with only a shell cracker and plastic fork, but it was well worth the effort. Prepare to be messy! read more

Very different this is low country boil served the old way. Plan on sticky fingers. Could be messy but they provide bins and gloves and lots of napkins read more

It's a great place to just chill and hangout either by yourself or with friends! Also, they have a bar and "GREAT SEA FOOD" their seasoning is the boom dot com! If it's your birthday come down because they celebrate that as well! And the wait time isn't long at all.! read more

This restaurant is great for seafood lovers! Even if you don't eat seafood they have amazing wings and fries, etc. I love to go here, even though it's always packed! You can always get stuff to go! 5/5 stars delicious! Always keeps me satisfied after a pound of crawfish, potato, and sausage! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about this Restaurant!! The staff is courteous and helpful, and the food is out of this world!! Has become our new favorite! This is definitely a MUST try!!!! read more

This place is average at best. The food (fried shrimp) was just average. Service ok. Rap music was to loud.

I consider myself to be a crab leg connoisseur and endeavor to seek out opportunities to enjoy them whenever I can. Not only was I pleasantly surprised with Wild Crab, but I can honestly say that these were the best crab legs I've ever had. Not to ignore the rest of the menu, which I also tried thanks to dining with my husband. Now, keep in mind, it's not pretentious nor are they full of themselves. It's honestly just REAL good seafood with a flavor combo that amazes. The service was a little slow (oh so nice though), but not so much so that it took away from the meal. It almost created a welcome anticipation. I'll be back again and again and again as long they stick to what they're good at and don't stray too much. read more

This restaurant has good food but terrible customer service. The managers are so rude and disrespectful. We waited over an hour to receive our food and it wasn't even hot and we complained and the manager said "well what do you want me to do about it because i don't have time to argue with y'all" how rude was that read more

I love this place. It was my first time here and it definitely met my expectations. Me and my girl did the half pound shrimp and crab with the wild style spice. It was amazing. It filled both of us up. We also got calamari and hush puppies which I thought were very well made. Service was great and I recommend to come here to satisfy your seafood cravings ! read more

I've been waiting for this place to open and now that it is yuck! I'm not sure who's in the kitchen but they need someone else. It's clear they aren't washing the crawfish before boiling it and when they do boil it they not adding enough seasoning in the pot. I ordered crawfish and snow crabs they both lack flavor and smell funny. I'll wait a few months before i try them again. I'm disappointed read more

I loved everything about this place! From the staff to the atmosphere to the food, Wild Crab is great. Just wish the mozzarella sticks were a little more crispy. read more

This places service was awful. We tried to be patient but our waitress Mahogany was very rude. My husband was so disgusted with the service he went outside and didn't eat his dinner. The waitress also told me to "get the fuck out "when I explained to her why he was upset. Thanks for ruining my Birthday dinner Wild Crab. We will never eat there again and will never recommend this place. I wouldn't even give one star but in order to do the review I had to. read more

Great service amazing food better than juicy crab! Got king crab and seafood boil was very good. I just wished that the boiled eggs came inside the broil room had to order some things on the side but overall it was great! read more

A bit pricey for the little amount of food they give. I know that there was not a pound of crab legs in my bag not to mention no sausage provided like the other places. read more

So amazing. I had the crab legs and shrimp combo with the wild special seasoning. Definitely can eat it everyday

Service SUCKS!!!! My waiter took my order, brought my food and never came back! The food did arrive extremely fast and it was delicious!

The food was really good and worth the 20 min wait honestly. The reason they have 4 stars is because they don't give you forks to get all the crab meat out and our waitress was late with our crab breaker things . But overall I'll be coming back oh yea and the alcohol drinks . The music was good to vibe too tho. It was a good atmosphere and food. Ohhhh and i love the decor read more

My kids and I enjoy it ever time. If you need a bid and gloves it has to be good. Recommend this place if you don't mind getting messy

My new favorite seafood spot!! So bomb! I've eaten here 3 times, and each time has surpassed my expectations! You MUST try the "Wild's Special", which is a blend of their original Cajun seasoning, Lemon pepper, and garlic butter. They also have 4 categories of spice levels: Mild, Medium, Hot, & Extra Hot. I Love spicy foods, and their medium season had me guzzling water lol so the mild is just fine! They also accept call in orders at the bar, so feel free to carry-out or dine in! read more

Atomosphere is good. Service not so much. Sweet potato fries. Grossly overdone Ugh got sick few hours later. Oyster basket. Will not be back since there are like 4 crab places in 29212. read more

Ordered fried oysters and hush puppies for $12. If you wanted fries and slaw which is included at most places it was an extra $6. Oysters were good but hush puppies were very bland. At least twice the price of other restaurants nearby. read more
