★★★★★ 5.0 Sharonda Philpot Ed.D (Twin) · Dec 2025

There was a lot of young teens there and it was really loud. The waitress seemed like she was slightly irritated with serving, but the food was out timely, had a little confusion with some orders, but things eventually smoothed over. Overall, I had a great time dinning with friends and the food was good. I had half of dozen steamed oysters and half dozen steamed scallops and a gumbo !

I was hungry the wife “could eat” and after some deciding we ended up choosing crafty crab as she has never been. We had an awesome server Zach who gave great suggestions and made amazing drinks! We started with some hush puppies and our 1st drinks (2 for 1 special). Had some great conversation, put on our bib and gloves and waited our feast. I ordered the crab boil with Cajun and garlic butter seasoning and the fire level of spicy. The wife had lobster and shrimp, with the boom ( all seasoning mixed together) our food really hit the spot. We both agreed that it was an excellent decision! I did wish It had a bit more sauce and it was easily remedied by asking the waiter and paying a small up charge. :) It was a lot of food and I do have some left overs! Some other notes. We came

The service was fine enough. I went in by myself. I ordered the holiday special that came with 2 snow crab clusters and I immediately noticed two things; 1. There was barely any sauce in the bag. 2. Both My snow crab clusters were missing the large claws. They were intentionally cut off, which I brought to the managers attention. He was quick to send out 1 large claw and a small extra cluster. Albeit in a different sauce but fine. Then I go to pay. I see on my receipt that my total is $58.84, but the restaurant went ahead and added a $10 tip without asking! When I asked the front desk to inquire why I was charged, I was told that they add ‘automatic gratuity’ to every bill. Even parties of 1. I was flabbergasted. I had already planned to tip as much but I didn’t want the restaurant to make

Let me just say the service at this location is ok I have no negative feedback about the servers. I noticed since this year each time I would order a seafood lover special I would only get 6-8 pieces of sausages and whenever I asked them why such a small amount they would say yea that's a 1/4lb but when I order an extra side of it it's like 12-14 pieces. So tonight I decided to not dine in and get my order to go. Soon as I got home checked my food 8 pieces of sausages so I called to speak with the manager, tell me why this guy was not trying to hear what I have to say and being rude to me. I said to him I'm going to leave a bad review he gon tell me to tell the truth lol like why I need to lie abt 2 pieces a sausage? The employee was very nice to me over the phone but that manager "marco"

I called my server to show her they give us bad potatoes she turn around and say it's burnt i will give you another one which I didn't even bother to eat. Then they caught me with tip part. Home girl added her own tip 16 dollars I will definitely be calling my bank Monday morning.
