I am so sad because I was really looking forward to trying this place out! I had seen the reviews but, I also know things can change. Sadly, that was not the case for me. I did not even get a chance to eat my food either!
Before I even get into what I ordered: this place was trying to sell a basket of 12 wings for $24 and a half dozen for $12. I would recommend wing stops before this place because this isn’t even including fries and a drink. I originally ordered 12 wings and fried mushrooms but when the waitress read $30+ out to me, I had to make a full stop and ask what the hell was I paying for? After she explained “oh I guess the prices were updated”, that raised another red flag because she seemed to not know anything about the changes.
Moving on, I ended up ordering fried mushrooms and a half dozen basket of dressed wings. After waiting about 25 mins, I received nearly burnt fried mushrooms and half done wings (photos included).
Thankfully, I was smart enough to check before leaving the parking lot and I brought the food back inside. I got a refund but the waitress working didn’t even ask what was wrong and when the owner/manager came to talk to me about it, it just seemed rushed. She offered to remake it but after waiting almost a half hour, I just asked for the money back. I hate to say it but this place has a lot to improve on.
I don’t recommend. I’m sorry

A mix of positive and negative aspects. Overall, it was a somewhat inconsistent experience with highlights in seafood flavor but drawbacks in service and portion size. Therefore, I would rate it three stars.
✅ Recommend: First, their SEAFOOD BOILS, served with a side of potatoes and corn with Caiun Garlic Butter was great and flavorful. Pho Tai (Beef) was decent but a bit pricey.
❌ Not good: The service was extremely slow. We waited for over 40 minutes for our pick-up order (note that it was during the summer when they were less busy). Additionally, their Fried Calamari was dry, overcooked, and the portion barely amounted to 1/2 lb.

Worst restaurant experience. Terrible tasting food, slow service, and very understaffed.
We were excited to try the Vietnamese side of the menu as pho is my husband’s favorite soup. After 20 minutes of orders, we had finished our water and were still waiting for our appetizer order of hush puppies.
Then our waitress then let us know that they had run out of ingredients and the pho would not come with any of the vegetables (no bean sprouts, basil, jalapeños, lime, chili peppers). She asked if that would be okay and when Josh let her know that he would rather change his order, she told him that they already to start to make the pho. We asked if we could still change it and she reluctantly agreed.
When our appetizer finally did arrive, they were perfectly bland. They had no seasoning or corn inside.
When my entree arrived, she gave it to Josh. Then 10 minutes later, his entree finally arrived and the egg rolls were burned.
We asked our waitress about why the food wasn’t up to par and she said the cooks were new.
We told our waitress we were quite disappointed in the entire experience, she didn’t make any effort to improve or amend our experience. Our waters remained empty the entire meal.

We went to The Crab Hut in Athens Eastside. It’s a Vietnamese Cajun Seafood Boil and Fried Seafood Restaurant but the Eastside location has Vietnamese food on the menu. I’m Asian and I’ve been a little underwhelmed with the Ethnic offerings in Athens and surrounding areas. I had Bun (chilled rice vermicelli with lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, and peanuts) with Grilled Marinated Pork, Two full sized Eggrolls, and an extra protein order of fried over easy egg. My friend had Pho (Beef bone broth soup with rice vermicelli noodles), flank steak, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and a wedge of lime. She wasn’t sure if she would have enough protein so I told her to try Vietnamese Meatball as a side. She loved it! And remember this dish is what her son ordered for her before. For dessert, we shared a Red Velvet Cake with thick layers of Cream Cheese Frosting and a wafer of chocolate. Authenticity wise it was on par with ordering in Gwinnett or Buford Highway. We were both pretty happy campers with this spot and will put them on rotation.

Hadn’t talked to anyone about this place so I had no idea what to expect. The inside is nice and clean. The service was exemplary. The food was not only amazing, but also very fairly priced. I foresee many trips back in my future.
I wholeheartedly recommend The Crab Hut.

The transition from one restaurant to another has its hangups but all in all the service is really friendly and the food is good. I go often to have their shrimp pho. They’re generous with the shrimp and the shrimp are really big but it’s the broth that does it for me. It can be a little bit of a wait but the staff are really good about acknowledging you as you wait.

We were excited that there’s a place that sells Vietnamese food on the east side. The food is ok. The pho is greasy but tasty. The meat has a ton of fat on it and we peel it off all the pieces. They often forget the egg roll when I order the egg roll and pork vermicelli dish. Dishes are on the pricey side and the waits are always substantially longer than they say. Last time I waited an hour and a half for my food. The hostess wrote in the book that I’d get 30% off this time (and it was there in the book with my name). When I came back and asked about it, they wouldn’t honor it and the management said they were too busy to even talk to me. So we’ve been pretty frequent customers because my kids like the food, but that is unfortunately our last straw and it will be the last time we are going there.

I love crab legs, if only it was all you can eat, oh boy. Great food, the fried calamari was slightly over cooked but great tasting. The clams, crab legs crawdads were great as well.

DELISH!! Apparently under new management I heard, the pho was actually so good, and I’m a bit of a pho snob, best in Athens right now in my opinion (no shade). Very flavorful broth, bright, and just the right amount of fattiness. Beef slices were also not skimpy portion size was very generous but not sacrificing quality.

My husband and I love Vietnamese food, especially pho. We tried places in Athens and we didn’t like any of them so when we wanted pho we went outside of Athens until this restaurant opened and I think their food is very good, especially the pho.
