I came here on a Saturday night and was immediately greeted and seated by the owner herself who was very friendly and nice. The dining area is small yet cozy and simple, which is just how I like it as the main focus should be on the food. I got the lobster roll which was absolutely delicious! Both the lobster and the bun were very nicely seasoned and full of flavor that just melts in your mouth with every bite.

I dined in today and it overall was a great experience!! Love that it’s family oriented! The flavor was good … unlike most boils the sauce was on the looser side (watery) I suggest thickening the base (sauce) with more garlic or different butter that will be more on the solid thicker side… other than that very good very flavorful decent amount of food and fairly priced . Will visit again

Such a gem!! We order catering for our house warming party for 12 people. My friends all enjoy their seafood. All of them become regulars. Would recommend the spicy flavors. I would recommend their shrimps, clams, and crawfish combo. Great price!

Brand new hidden gem! They are a bit hidden as the entrance is parallel to the street. Small inside with about 9 tables, nautical themed, and very cute! We arrived at about 6 pm on Friday night.. we were graciously greeted and seated. There were 4 of us, and we ordered: calamari, garlic noodles, the combo with double shrimp and crawfish, and king crab. We all had the house ‘lemon sauce’. The food was absolutely amazing! The French fries that were served under the calamari were so crispy and delicious. I just can’t say enough about this place. Selfishly, I don’t want to share this find with everyone… but it’s just too good not to! Super friendly.. great service!

Had a great experience, all the food was really good. Large portions and great prices if you compare to other seafood boils. Ordered the bags of shrimp and king crab..nothing was left after we finished!

I was here a month ago. The seafood boil that they do was underseasoned and there was no wow, no heat for their hottest flavor and it was bland. The burgers that were ordered were terrible, there was no flavor and it didn’t look like meat. It came with a pineapple slice and some dressing that belongs on a salad. At the time of order it wasn’t specified that those would be on the burger as the menu said tomato, mayo, an grilled onions. The fish filets were not filets but more fish nuggets, they were salty and oily. The fries were soggy and tasted like old oil.

Excellent Cajun seafood place. My wife and I had stopped in for dinner and picked a seafood bag. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing!

What a lovely find for a very different Valentine’s Day dinner! A woman-owned small business! Hubby and I decided very last minute to celebrate together and after a search of local seafood boil places (thank goodness we have a variety!) I called Lemon Crab after seeing “Recently opened” and Cajun on their listing. Was told two tables just opened up (it was already 7:30) and we were there five minutes later. The 1st combo was the perfect quantity of food for us – crawfish, mussels, shrimps and the included sides of corn, potatoes and sausage. We added a corn and garlic noodles (YUM!) because we ordered medium spicy, perfectly enjoyable with the unspiced noodles and bonus corn. No beer yet since they’re awaiting their license so we enjoyed our meal with water.
