Grabbed boudin balls and dirty rice to go with dinner. For the most part this was a great experience. The lovely lady that greeted me and helped with my Togo order was phenomenal, seriously amazing. Aubrey I think! The food was also absolutely spectacular, my 1st time here! My only complaint would be that the lady working the bar could have definitely been more pleasant/customer friendly. She had that mad at the world look and attitude going on when i grabbed a beer while i waited for my food. (If I return, will be avoiding interaction with her but otherwise would have been a 10/10)

Truly disappointed in the service from a young man who should have all his faculties about him. He must have been on the job for perhaps a week at most otherwise there is no explanation for the lack of utensils and plates upon receiving our appetizers, no condiments or lemon for a dozen oysters on ice tray. We decided to build our own boil and requested 2 pounds of head off shrimp, 3 snowcrab clusters, 1 pound of mussels, 7 corn, 4 links of sausage, 7 potatoes, 2 boiled eggs and ramen. Well, they forgot to include the sausage so they brought 2 small sausage links plain in a bowl– not boiled in sauce. Then we noticed the potatoes were missing as well!
This time my son requested they put in with boiling sauce for which they accommodated us unlike the sausage. I guess the cook realized he sent out sausage plain in a bowl when he found out he left out potatoes for the same guests so he included 2 sausage links in this boil to make up for the mix up. My kids (now adults) are very cognizant of good manners and thus treat others as you would like to be treated and did not complain or bring these anomalies to the server’s attention. I, however, will tell you like it really is! That is because I am now a senior citizen in my mid seventies and try to spend my monies wisely. Especially now when prices are next to outrageous since that so-called “pandemic”–a total lie! So there, I told you of our sad experience on a bill of $265.00 for evening meal plus
tip inspite of above circumstances. Your choice.

We had such an amazing dinner at Smashing Crab tonight. Our server Abigail was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and really made the whole experience even better.

The food was incredible and everything was seasoned perfectly. Every dish we had was full of flavor and you can tell they really care about the quality of the food they serve.

Between the amazing food and Abigail’s great service, this was one of the best dinners we’ve had in a while. We will definitely be coming back again and would recommend it to anyone looking for great seafood.

Hearty, delicious seafood! Had the gumbo and seafood boil. The shrimp were huge and so savory, crab was easy to eat. Highly recommend; best crab place in SA.

I have gone to pretty much every location in San Antonio, and this one is by far my FAVORITE! From the food, to service, to atmosphere, it’s always phenomenal. Jen was our server and she took excellent care of my sister and I, helping us modify our boils and was very attentive too. The manager also stopped by to check on us which was also thoughtful; there’s always great energy and service here overall! To top it off, it was my sister’s 21st and Jen gifted us a cake on them, truly made my little sister’s day (: We’ve been coming to this location for 6 years and will continue too.

We came here for lunch. Jilly was our server and she was amazing.

The food was delicious. I know a lot of people come for boils but I’m here for these awesome lunch specials. Fried shrimp plate and shrimp poboy plate. Soooo good.

I love the Bandera location. It’s so much better than Alamo Ranch. Here, there us plenty of staff, quick service, great look great food, glasses constantly being refilled. It had a good vibe. It didn’t feel sad like Alamo Ranch.
Smashing Crab is the place to be. Finger licking good!

My husband and I had an experience at a different location that wasn’t the best, food-wise…so we tried this one, because we’d heard it was much better.
We were told correctly! The food was phenomenal! We both started with a drink (my husband had a beer on tap, and I ordered the Eye of the Hurricane. My drink was DELICIOUS…but unfortunately didn’t have anything on the rim like my waitress told me it would. Even without the rim dressing – it was still yummy! We then ordered oysters, and were so pleased!! They were HUGE…& came with all of the sides, except horseradish. We actually ordered a dozen, but only received a half dozen. We decided not to bring it up, because we knew we’d be too full to finish our dinner. Lastly – we ordered the Trolley Stop Boil with the Cajun Sauce and a #3 Alarm heat level. It was one of the best boils we’ve ever had at a restaurant!!! SO YUMMY!!! The seasoning was PERFECT, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. And for the record – we ended up having to take half the meal home with us! We could NOT finish it!
The atmosphere of this location was very chill, but welcoming. The host was great! He even helped bring food out to us at one point…& was just so friendly and funny!

Our only complaint was our waitress. As mentioned, she told us about things, and never followed through with them. The drink rim dressing, bringing out crackers for our oysters (we had to ask again), bringing us out lemons with our boil (again, had to ask twice)…& we asked twice for garlic butter sauce on the side…but never got any. She also seemed to rush us. It’s very rare that we get a date night…so we wanted to take our time and just enjoy our evening. She just seemed like she was trying to hurry us, and even seemed annoyed a couple of times when we weren’t ready. HOWEVER. The host? As mentioned – he was great.
We’ll definitely be back to this location…we just might try to get seated in a different area. The host, the food, and the atmosphere made it a wonderful experience!

We come here each year to celebrate a birthday.. This time the location in Stone Oak could not have been worse. Starting with the service, the salads were delivered AFTER the meals. Our waitress didn’t think there was anything wrong with that. The salads were both brown. We sent them back. The pasta was way over cooked and soggy. The grilled shrimp was cooked so much it was dry like beef jerky. They were out of crawfish and vinaigrette salad dressing.. We told our waitress we were here to celebrate a birthday. She later came up to the “birthday boy’ and asked if he wanted to be sung to!? We said not to bother- par for the course. I noticed there was smashed food underneath my placemat. The floor was so sticky under the table that my husbands shoes kept making loud noises each time he moved his feet from being stuck to the floor. The rice was so overcooked it was all stuck together in one mound. Finally, as we paid the bill, we brought up why when we paid the tip choices started at 3%? Our waitress didn’t say a word when we asked. We chose the highest tip % which was 15%. When she brought the bill back we noticed we were charged 18% gratuity for since we were a party of 7 plus an extra 15%!! There was no way we were going to pay a 33% tip for this experience. The manager removed the extra 15% but never apologized for any of this. With our meals being $30 each, this is definitely a place we will stop going to. There are plenty of nice restaurants in Stone Oak. Don’t waste your time or money going to Smashing Crab!
