I have been by this place several times which there were never a lot of cars so I figured it must not be good. I was so wrong! I spoke with the manager and she was very nice. They have been there for about a year and usually are busy Thursday-Sunday.
First, DJ was very professional, knowledgeable and personable! She definitely needs a raise because she provided excellent service from beginning to end so thank you for making my first experience AMAZING!!!
The food was delicious! We got the Thursday meal then ordered fried shrimp with sweet potato waffle fries.
Now, I got a half pound of steamed shrimp which are covered up in the photo but there were quite a few.
Everything was seasoned to perfection, steaming hot and prices were reasonable for the portion size.
Overall, It’s a very spacious, well designed and good energy spot. They even have a separate sink area to wash your hands if you don’t need to use the restroom. I would definitely go back as well as try other locations.

Excellent food and atmosphere. My wife and I went at 12pm and were quickly seated. We chose a seasonal special and added a pound of snow crab legs! The Snow Crab was delicious, but the Dungeness Crab was out of the park!

Place is very clean and servers are friendly. I ordered kids meal catfish and sweet potato fries. Adult meal comes with 4 pieces mine came with 2. Plenty. Wanted to try the crab cake appetizer. Both were tasty. Loved the spicy sauce the crab cakes which were hot and fluffy. The fries were coolish. My friend ordered the crab cake meal. Very yummy. Came with plain white rice and cold, yup cold, broccoli. I think someone forgot to warm it up. Our server was kind to give my friend a discount on her meal. Well done! Good customer service. Looking forward to trying their Dungeness Crab! Or maybe that yummy seafood boil! Make sure you have your appetite, portions are good.

As someone who was raised on fresh seafood, I’m VERY picky about seafood & proper cooking. This restaurant got the cooking times correct!
Pet peeve: Cooking shrimp too long. Shrimp should NOT be tightly curled. They should be a slight curve. Shrimp should not be a tough bite.
OK, so the decor is pretty! Red Crab has a very cool projector system with videos of soothing waves. They use paper on tables!
Also, the restaurant didn’t smell fishy and that’s a GOOD thing!
If you order by the pound & want it steamed, it will arrive to table side in a bag that they steamed it in and your corn on the cob & potato are in there too. Very cool idea!
I mistakenly thought the sauces I picked were dipping sauces. No, they are steamed with your seafood and are delicious to dip into. Also, you can choose one sauce, have a mix two, or mix them all which =”Juicy” Sauce.
If you order by the pound or half-pound, be prepared to get your hands dirty. It’s part of the experience! Order a seafood entree of you don’t want to eat with your hands.
Unlike other seafood places, there are no “unlimited” sides. If you want hushpuppies, you must order them and they are tasty!
Red Crab has a full bar.
The waitstaff is VERY good! If you don’t know what to order, ask them what they recommend. And please, tip them!
I would recommend this place as a treat as the prices are higher. (SEE MENU PICS) If you order appetizers, teas & dessert, it’s about $80-100.

For a restaurant that’s been open for several months feels like all the servers are day one new. The host seating us had a section in mind and was then directed to another section by a manager. Where we sat unattended for about 5 minutes before the host checked on us asking of we’d had a been checked on. He took our drink order not a server. Sigh of things to come wish I had left at this point. Soup was cold, the pasta shrimp lacked any kind of seasoning just butter noodles. My partners shrimp po boy was good but the fries it came with were also unseasoned despite being “Cajun fries.” I’m perplexed by the utensil provided. The cold soup came with a metal spoon the pasta came with a prepackaged plastic spoon and fork. Wish there was a zero star option to let people know I’ll not be coming back. Gold star for the host. Restaurant over dirty star.

Had a great experience here with the family. Helen was our server and she was extremely attentive and didn’t miss a beat. Food was tasty and the portions were more than enough. Great decor and vibe.

The food was amazing . This was my first time having a boil and it was great‼️ Our server was quick and very helpful with explaining the menu to us. The raw oyster was good as well and big. Highly recommend this place .

This place never seems too busy and I really don’t understand why…we got the weekend special with an extra lobster tail and the juicy sauce…it was the BOMB! It was enough for two so we spilt it…everything was cooked to perfection, crab legs, lobster tail. Shrimp, corn and potatoes! The waitstaff were extremely nice and attentive and the wall projection screen underwater display was a nice touch! This is our new go to for seafood!

The first mistake I made was considering eating here and the second was actually going through with it. If you know what real seafood boils is supposed to taste like please don’t disappoint yourself by eating here. The fried oyster was not crispy, it was very mushy. The corn was UNSEASONED. UNSEASONEDDDD. And the clam chowder, I didn’t even bother so I don’t throw up. I wouldn’t even be upset if they didn’t market their restaurant with food that literally ends up looking like nothing that comes in the plate.
