Our service was good, but the food, not so much. Sadly, it LOOKED tasty, but wasn’t fresh. Fried shrimp, crab fingers and fried calamari were chewy. The calamari was barely room temperature.

This place was recommended by a couple friends and it did not disappoint!! The famous feast is really good. We got the house special sauce (garlicky enough and lemon-y enough) spicy level: Hot.

First time trying this place. I really like the food and service. The dining area was nice and clean. The restroom, however, did need attention and keeping up with it. Besides that, the food had a great taste. I would definitely recommend this place. Safe Travels. Prost

The medium order was great. A long week means spending $117 for seafood.

The food was pretty tasty. Not too expensive. What killed me was the drinks. A little pricy but all in all good time. Sat at the bar, the bartender seemed frustrated but still did well c

This was my first time visiting “The Famous Crab”. I visited in hopes of celebrating my mom birthday! They have this policy where you cannot be seated unless at least 80% of the party is present and ready to be seated even on non peaked hours. So we waited in the lobby until the hostess got bored or saw how long we waiting, they sat us down anyhow. I ordered the chicken po-boy, It basically a sandwich with chicken, Mayo, pickles on a toasted bun with your choice of regular or Cajun fries. I got the Cajun fries. The fries unfortunately for me had a freezer burn kind of taste and the chicken weren’t that bad but nothing rave at. But I won’t knock it too much since it a seafood base place and I dislike everything about seafood. The service was amazing. She constantly checked up on us and made sure we were okay! The bill came out and we payed, There was an automatic 16% tip although we were going to tip with cash with the tip included of 50$ (To avoid tip tax for the waitress). Definitely not for me but my family enjoyed all the seafood.

The food was delicious and the service was superb! I recommend getting the Cajun shrimp skewers because they were cooked to perfection and not rubbery.

Seafood was overcooked…. When we asked for a crab leg cracker tool, there weren’t any available, so we had to wait a while longer for some. Micheladas were alright…
