Wow!! That’s literally how I have to start my review because the food was amazing, the manager was so nice and welcoming. The drinks were 10/10 had a strawberry margarita, raspberry margarita and a pina colada and I would definitely get all 3 again. First time here and it’s my new spot to come to for seafood boil because the seasoning was so good and food was cooked to perfection (Lobster tail, shrimp, mussels, crab legs, egg, potatoes, sausage, Cajun fries and even the rice). They even have mimosas with GLITTER! Super cool oh and the music definitely a vibe.

If you’re looking for a seafood spot that values your time as much as your tastebuds, Family & Crab is the Gurnee gold standard. We rolled in with a party of four and were seated immediately—a rare win for a weekend outing.
The Experience:
The service here is “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it” fast, but without the rushed attitude. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Pro-Tip for my fellow service members: They offer a military discount, which is always a class act and much appreciated.
The Main Event:
We tackled a massive shared “bucket” featuring 2 lbs of crab legs and 2 lbs of shrimp. In the world of seafood boils, overcooking is the ultimate sin, but everything here was executed to perfection. The shrimp were snap-tender (not rubbery erasers), and the crab was sweet and succulent. Even the supporting cast—the potatoes and corn—were seasoned to the core, not just glazed on the outside.
The Verdict: This is the ultimate spot for a group that wants a high-quality, messy, delicious boil without the two-hour “tourist trap” wait times.
Power Move: Wear the bib. Your shirt will thank you, and the garlic butter deserves your full attention, not your laundry bill.

Picked up the King Crab Special here to bring to my 92-year-old mom’s house for Christmas Eve dinner and it was excellent. Everything tasted great and was exactly what I was hoping for. Order was ready right on time and the staff was very nice at pickup. Made for a really special meal. Would definitely come back.

Great food! Service could have been a little more attentive. Parking kinda difficult becausr you have to park in the back. Other than that it has great seafood! Would go back.

Our server was a very polite young man named Ethan. He was very enthusiastic. My wife had a snow crab and shrimp boil, she also had a pineapple and green tea drink. I had the haddock and chips, and calamari starter. I had a Sprite to drink. All in all, I would have to give it a double thumbs up. Atmosphere was quite interesting, the facility was very clean, and the bathrooms were spotless. That bodes well for the quality and cleanliness of the food and the kitchen itself. I would recommend this establishment. I’ve seen more and more of these crab houses, and they really are very nice. I also like the idea that this establishment gives you these curved scissors to use along with the shell cracker. That makes it much easier to remove the shell and get to the meat. Less mess!

Service and Atmosphere is great! The food and sauce however were lackluster. Small crab legs and watery sauce. I ordered the extra hot and it didn’t seem to be that spicy at all to me.

Okay, this is my second time trying Family & Crab, and when I see something I like, I literally stick to that from the menu every time I find a good restaurant. So that is what this review will be based off of.
The pasta and vegetable rice, both with sausage, are really good. The first time, I ordered them with shrimp, and added sausage, and that was good too. Today, both dishes were a bit on the drier side, but nothing a little splash of water couldn’t fix. And although really good, I did have to season up my pasta a little bit more today. Between the two, I like the rice more. And lastly, my God today, I tried their crab ragoons, and baby, those were the best damn ragoons I’ve had in my entire life, literally! I’m kind of hesitant about sharing that tidbit because I don’t want them to be sold out the next time I visit to get some, but oh well, the public must know they are that good!
Any who, that concludes my review of Family & Crab.

Stopped in prior to a show. This place is wonderful. The food was delicious and the service was amazing! Portia was our server and a complete joy! The Cajun spices were flavorful. I’ve had many seafood boils that lacked flavor, this was perfect. It’s a bit of a drive from home, but definitely worth the drive. I will be back.

We stopped in to support a local spot. Was not disappointed the decor is cute and fun no remenants of the old paragon restaurant. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food is good great flavor and most importantly the shrimp was clean. Which isn’t always the case at seafood places. Highly recommended trying them. They also have boba.
