Preferably my go-to for a seafood boil restaurant. My family & I love this place; we drive 60+ miles to eat here. Fresh appetizers and food. Customer service & the atmosphere is also great.

I tried out Madison Crab House in the West Loop and it’s a fun kind of seafood spot if you’re craving a boil or Cajun-style seafood feast with friends. The vibe isn’t fancy — more lively and casual — but that works for a messy, hands-on meal where the focus is really on the food. They do seafood by the pound, so crab, shrimp, crawfish and other shellfish come piled up with corn and potatoes, and you can choose a sauce or spice level that kicks it up or keeps it mellow.
I went with a combo that included snow crab and shrimp, and the seafood was fresh and juicy, not rubbery or overcooked, with plenty of flavor from the seasonings. Sides like Cajun wings and garlic edamame were solid little extras, and the friendly staff kept everything moving even when it was busy. Some people say the atmosphere can be a bit plain — it’s more about digging in than dining in style — but that’s exactly what made it feel welcoming rather than pretentious.
Overall, it’s one of those places where you go to get your hands dirty, savor good seafood, and share big portions with friends rather than worry about a quiet dinner. I’d call it a dependable choice for seafood lovers who want bold flavors and a lively setting.

Food is delicious. The atmosphere is very cozy. Not a crowd or wait. Try the Mad sauce, it’s amazing! Good customer service and the drinks are well prepared! The combos are on the pricey side but the amount of food is worth it.

Got the combo A with the shrimp, crawfish, and snow crab. On the pricy side in my opinion $167 for 2 people (automatically added 15% tip) Food was cooked perfectly. However the mad sauce lacked in flavor, it was a bit bland compared to other seafood boil restaurants. Service was nice and fast but we were the only people on a Monday night.

I hate wasting my hard-earned money on bad food. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened here. Ordered the crab fried rice & it was abysmal. It had NO flavor, which the soy sauce didn’t even help. Also, there was a really weird aftertaste with each forkful. I didn’t even eat half of it before deciding I was done. I will not be returning.

This restaurant looks very similar to my favorite Boiling Crab. We got king crab legs, snow crab legs, lobster tail, and crawfish. They are all pretty fresh and flavory. Service is also good, they made a dessert as a birthday gift even though they don’t have dessert on their menu. Only drawback is slow speed. We wait 15-20min for apetizer. With all of that, I don’t understand why there are so few guests in a Friday evening.

This place is a solid 4. The lobster roll was incredibly tasty but small and overpriced. My family literally lives in Maine so I have had the best of the best when it comes to lobster rolls, but what made this one special was how different and yet well delivered it was. It had no mayonnaise, just a perfectly toasted roll with butter and claw and tail lobster meat. It was simple but each component was perfectly executed.. the roll was perfect, the amount of butter was perfect, etc. My only complaint would have to be the price and portion size. It should also be noted that I came at an odd time so I was the only one in the place, but I still had to ask for a refill on my soda and had to ask for my check. Still, the waitress was friendly and polite. In that way the service was similar to the food: good (better than most) but not stellar.

Customer Service Was Great So That’s Why They Get The 4 Stars. Came Especially For Some Salmon. Even Though It Was Advertised, They Didn’t Have Any. They Didn’t Sell Scallops Either. Don’t Know How You Can Be A “Seafood Boil” Spot And Not Have The Two. The Lobster Tails Were Tasty, But I Felt A Bit Too Small For The Price. The Calamari Was A Little Too Breaded (For My Liking). Tasted More Of The Breading Then The Seafood. Oh Yea…They Didn’t Even Have Tarter Sauce!!! How Do You Not Have Tarter Sauce. I Feel Like Some Things Are Just Expected. Even Wendy’s Has Tarter Sauce! LoL.
In Closing, The Place Was Clean And As I Stated Before The Customer Service Was Great. I Most Likely Won’t Come Back Though, But Only Because I Am Now In Search Of A Better Experience. Doesn’t Mean People Shouldn’t Try It. I’m Just A Regular Guy From Jersey! LoL
