Really good seafood. Love the freshness – very noticeable and better quality than other seafood boil places in the Nashville area. Love the seasoning profiles. My only other comment is they may potentially over boil the crab and shrimp a little (leaving you to peel longer – been here twice so far and both times this is the case), however the taste overall is worth the additional effort. Boudin balls are also noteworthy – very good.

We tried out Smashin Crabs the night before their grand opening. We ordered the bloody mary which had the perfect amount of spice and a moscow mule which packed a punch. Then started off with the Jambalaya bites which were perfectly crisp and char grilled oysters that we all agreed were delicious, which we can’t say for all places especially with the New Orleans native in our group.
We then dined on snow crab, king crab, shrimp, mussels and the Cajun pasta. You get to pick out your flavor profile and level of spiciness which we all liked. We went with the Trinity levels 2 & 3, both delicious, the 3 definitely packed a punch and I would relate the 1-5 scale being similar to Thai food. We had a blast eating it and everything was delicious.
I think it would be helpful to note that the Perfect Storm Platter is very large, my husband who can normally eat a lot of food couldn’t finish it and said he would split it next time.
My only critique, and it’s being very picky was that the chicken in the pasta tasted like it had been cooked, cooled, sliced and then microwaved – slightly rubbery. But everything else in the dish was tasty. Before we left we were already picking out what we wanted to try next time we come. Definitely try this place out!

So this was my first time but the rest of the family has been here several times and then it’s definitely turned into one of their favorite places. The food was really delicious and they rave at how good the king crab boil is. Definitely a breath of fresh air having a good, quality seafood restaurant! The decor is really bright and cheerful too bringing in a little bit of that NOLA vibe! I almost forgot to mention how great the service was, Keith was our server and he was awesome, fun, helpful and definitely did a great job!

I was impressed with the Snow Crab at this location! I got the “trinity”which is all the sauces in one. Very tasty. The Gator bites were super good! The Jambalaya bites were extremely good too. They tasted kinda like sausage balls. The Margarita flight was mixed very well especially the mango and strawberry Margarita. I highly recommend this seafood restaurant.

Went to Smashin Crab for the first time today for lunch with my husband. From the looks of the outside of the restaurant we thought it was an upscale restaurant but to our surprise it was very casual. The food was good and they gave you very generous amounts of food. I had the shrimp basket with fries and my husband ordered the catfish basket. We also ordered a basket of fried pickles which were very good. Our waitress Maddi was super nice and very knowledgeable of the menu.

Smashin Crab was superb! We had Crab cakes, Redfish and rice, Cajun fries, onion rings, hush puppies, and Bayou bites with ice cream- beignets with a chocolate drizzle. The service is excellent, and everyone was extremely attentive to all of the patrons. Our server was Ramsie, and she makes great recommendations. Everything was seasoned perfectly. Our temperatures were taken, and seating was socially distanced. If you come close to Nashville, you definitely need to visit Smashin Crab.

I went for my birthday. The food was great!!. I would go again. My mom and I shared this meal. Absolutely delicious and we had leftovers for later. It was a great experience and I love that they have outdoor seating. Our server was very nice and personable.

At Ultium Cells this place was posted up. Never tried it before and I thought, why not? First of all the flavor was definitely worth it. My only issue is the shrimp was lightly breaded and would tear off ever time I dunked it into the cocktail sauce. Other than that this was definitely a good meal. $20 with a coke. The food came out piping hot! Just the way I love it!

Our first experience at this restaurant. Met the owners on a walk and this is why we are here to give it a try. We aren’t big seafood people. We had great service (Collin) and the food we selected was wonderful. If you like seafood give them a try. We will definitely be back.
