I know that there aren't tons of crab boil locations in this area! Makes it tough! This was as tough one! I had to sit on my thoughts for a while before I could write this. Let me explain... The Great - The price for all you can eat is a great value The Good - uh.......The crab was really good... there wasn't anything else good The Bad - The service The Ugly - The service I try not to write dissertations, but let me explain! The young server (found out this was the "boss's daughter" started off on all the things we COULDN'T do with all you can eat. While trying to order cocktails she told us she tries to stay away from people who drink. Waited about 20 minutes for 3 mixed cocktails and my beer. While waiting for my beer, I was watching the bartender and crew pour beer back and forth from one mug to another. They brought it out to me - said "blue moon", I took a drink and it was NOT what they said. What were they doing to the beer back there? While ordering, the server's cell phone started ringing. She said "excuse me, I have to take this" and walks away from us. At the end of our meal, our server had disappeared. Eventually we asked another server for our check. She mentioned that our server left. We were speechless. read more

I want to first say that the food was excellent. We arrived at 04:45.. didn't get out until almost eight. I'm saying this to put specifics on the time we waited. Our waitress asked for our drink order, some of us said we weren't ready. One person in my party asked for a Jack and Pepsi. She didn't know what Jack was (which was ok, until), to which she responded "oh". We enlightened her, then she said, "I try to keep away from those type of people" (people who drink). Then she says, "I'll just go get you waters." When she returns we place our drink orders, two margs, a Diet Pepsi, a blue moon, and the Jack snd Pepsi. We were confused when a glass of Pepsi showed up to the table for the Jack and Pepsi. We explained please tell the bartender a Jack and Pepsi, they will know what to do. The other drinks didn't come for a long time, so we sent someone in our party to inquire about them. They were forgotten. The beer that was brought to the table was wrong. Our party agreed that it was unfortunate more attention wasn't paid to the bar because we would have ordered more. While we were ordering a phone started ringing, and it was the phone in our waitress's pocket. She cuts my husband off in the middle of his order and says oh I've got yo get this and walks away. I can say say that was a first for me. The food came out and it was great. No complaints there. We had to ask for the refills of Pepsi and for our table to be bused. Our waitress verified our split checks and that was the last we saw of her. She left without giving us our bill or saying anything. We were just sitting and waiting. We eventually paid our bill. The "boss's daughter" left a first impression that is and will be unforgettable. read more

Really wanted to like this fairly new restaurant in Pace, as we really need some good restaurants. PROS: -The staff was great. Very welcoming and waitress did a fantastic job -They have tried really hard to convert this previous chicken wing restaurant into a cajun seafood spot CONS: -My food was not that great. The fried shrimp was heavily breaded and the shrimp were small, rubbery and chewy. Seemed like previously frozen shrimp. If you eat here and then go down to P-Cola beach, you will immediately notice the difference in taste and texture. -High price point for the quality of food -Fries were greasy Depends on what you are looking for whether or not you would enjoy this restaurant. If you are looking for a close spot to have some beers and just eat some food...this would be great. If you are looking for good quality food that will impress your palate....there are better options. read more

Have eaten here twice. Got a steam pot for 2 the first time. Really good other than the crawfish. This trip we got fried baskets. Both were very good. Got 10 very large shrimp and sweet potato fries for $13, and fried fish with boiled potatoes fir $12. Very reasonable. Fried seafood and boiled potatoes were very good. The sweet potato fries were outstanding. My only gripe is that getting your food is slow. The kitchen is still struggling to keep up. read more

Last night we went for the first time! Upon arrival we were greeted and served by Michelle. Such a warm welcoming and so full of energy. She patiently answered our questions. We truly enjoyed the evening- great food and they even had a musician from Tennessee. We will return. Highly recommended, ask about their specials! read more

Cajun Crab - We chose number 6! Delicious - Seafood Near Me - Pace, Florida

I have been to this place before and it used to be good. This time, we were greeted by bad vibes. The waiter was very scattered, like he didn't want to help us. We ordered the combination with 1lb or crawfish and 1lb of snow crabs. We had the hardest time cracking our crab legs without a cracker and someone other than our waiter said they had a shortage... there were only 8 people total dinning there. Its pretty ridiculous that a crab place has run out of crab crackers. The BOOM sauce was way too salty - not how it used to be. Also, we were given so many inedible crawfish claws that had no body attached to it. Its like we got the bottom of the barrel and got all of the claws which you cant be doing when we are paying by the pound. Also they no longer serve potatoes and corn with the combination bag which seems silly since its called a combination Also our bag had one smushy broccoli jn it - not sure where it came from! Overall poor experience. So sad this place went downhill. read more

Cajun Crab - Not too great this time - Seafood Near Me - Pace, Florida

First time here and we were really impressed! We got fried crab claws for an appetizer, they were pricey but really good. My wife and I shared a large Kraken which was more than enough for the two of us. It was a mix of snow crab, shrimp, crawfish, clams, mussels, corn on the cob and potatoes. We got the medium hot Cajun spice, it was divine! Our server Josh was very friendly and attentive, as well as the rest of the staff. So glad we came here, and this crab and seafood loving man can't wait to go back! read more

Cajun Crab - The Kraken. Snow crab, shrimp, clams, crawfish, mussels, potatoes and corn on the cob. - Seafood Near Me - Pace, Florida

Ok, first, the only reason it's for out of five stars is location, location, location. once you get past the strip center location, everything else is fantastic. I was concerned with an all you can eat seafood experience, but we went on a Sunday night, and Jordan was our waiter and made the experience five star. The Dungeness crab was delicious, the snow, crab crab was delicious, the shrimp were delicious. The seafood boil in general was well done. The only thing I would recommend is that the corn and potatoes get thrown in a little later in the process so they don't come out so soft. Again, going back to Jordan he was attentive took care of the four of us with great care, but didn't hover, and when I go back again, it will be because the food was excellent and the service was better! Please support this establishment because the other location in Pensacola obviously is closer to the beach and probably gets more play because of its location. I would hate to lose this gem in the rough in Milton because we didn't support it! The local Pensacola beer was awesome as well! I also normally have photographs, but we were so hungry and ate like wild wolves, so I forgot to take pictures! Promise on my next visit I will take pics. read more

First the service. He tried. Second the bar. He tried 8 types on wine on the menu, none of them available. Frozen cocktails were bland. Third the food. Mahi Mahi was some other type fish. Shrimp & Crab overcooked. Not worth it this near the gulf seafood experiences read more

Man they all you can eat is a scam! When you try to order seafood they get mad and the more you order the nastier the food gets its like they start making it nasty so you won't order more and they become rude!! read more

I have been here lots of times.... Probably once a week if I can!!! I love their seasoning that goes into the boil bag. I typically get 2lbs of seafood, the boom flavor at level fire. What you see in the picture is blue crab(my favorite), whole shrimp(also my favorite), and crawfish(ok my favorite too). Eat it with white rice to balance everything out! I'm telling you, if you love seafood, this place will not disappoint whether it is take out or dine in. Oh! And the staff there are super kind and always quick! read more

Cajun Crab - Blue crab, whole shrimp, and crawfish - Seafood Near Me - Pace, Florida

We looked at Google review and was very hesitatant to go. We chose to go because our son, who has severe anxiety, wanted crab legs and rarely goes in places to eat. The lady was SO sweet and told us she was the cook now and it'd be good. And it was. Everything about it. The food, the peeling was easy. The flavor and service. The drink she made. And when our son said he loved it and would give a good review to help the bad one they had she got even sweeter and came out in a crad costume to tell him bye. We will be back! ​ read more

Came in for a light dinner, actually just for their Gumbo. It was delicious, the wait staff was friendly. The Gumbo was satisfying, the hush puppies were delicious!! Went away with a full belly for just over $10. However if you have money to burn and have a hankering for seafood, they have an all you can eat meal. $46.95 a person and all the fish and seafood you can eat. No sharing, no carrying home your last plate full. Eat in only. You can order food to carry out, but not with the all you can eat meals read more

Bad experience. Got left on hold after they failed to say anything about being out of crawfish until after they said the order was ready and they took the money and I got there to pick it up. Ended up subbing for some crab and it was 30 dollars less than I paid already but they said they can't do anything about refunding the difference. Got real rude on the phone about it. Overall this was a horrible experience. I don't know if it was a bad night or what but the customer service was trash and super disrespectful. Definitely gonna make a longer trip somewhere else next time to get seafood. read more

A very good spot if you plan to do one thing - gorge on seafood swimming in butter. If that's not your plan, if youre super picky, don't like to get messy, want to impress your first date, etc - don't go. But go when you're ready to order some seafood and get super full. It was all very good - get the Boom style seasoning for sure. Dip your seafood in the butter sauce that comes in the bag - it's the best. Our server was very sweet, knowledgeable, and helpful. We all left stuffed as can be. Pricing is fair - it's not cheap to eat what they serve, but it's fair for what you get and how well it's seasoned. I wish we had tried it sooner. A must go if you are in the mood for a boil and in Pace Milton or Gulf Breeze areas read more

I am going to be as consice as possible. This establishment is actually sub par. The management staff is barely there...even on the clock If anyone that has real restaurant experience is disgusted and overwhelmed with simply making the stations clean and prepared for service when the staff cannot even enter the building until after the advertised opening times. There's been several times that people have been waiting and left. One would think that if the establishment is open to serve; then the staff was in the building 30 minutes (at least) prior. I honestly speak from experience. I am one of The cooks. Also...just as a P.S.A. The entire cook and fry level has recently changed . Basically, good luck read more

Ordered sweet tea and it was sour. People next to us said they had already sent there tea back for same reason. Ordered Calamari rings for appetizer and couldn't eat many, they had a lot of stringy stuff. Ordered baked oysters for entree, crackers were stale, one shell didn't even have an oyster on it, and after eating 3, I had to spit it out on my plate. They had a very bad taste. Asked to see the manager who the waiter said was the owner which she refused to come out and speak to us. After 30 minutes and arguing and going back and forth they finally agreed to give a 60 dollar gift card discount. Will not be returning to this restaurant. The waiter said the owner was doing the cooking. read more

Amazing service. Food was good, a lil pricey for what we got. I would go back and try the bar and enjoy the live music.

My husband suggested we try this place as we were tired of always hitting hibachi or Texas Roadhouse so in we went, and it is an awesome place. Josh was our server and he was super friendly and helpful in explaining the menu and how the books worked. It's basically like Crabs on Pensacola beach but the food is better and the prices are lower! The crab cakes with jalapeños were to die for and the snow crab was perfect. Josh was attentive and made sure we were happy, but he didn't hover. The restaurant was clean and had a relaxed atmosphere with full bar service as well. Will definitely go again! Try it out; you won't regret it. read more

Cajun Crab - Crab appetizer - Seafood Near Me - Pace, Florida

I was just there last week for the first time - i had the crab fries and a shrimp/crab legs boil Let me start off with some pros - the customer service was spot on. Two different people helped me (i sat at the bar). Both were very nice and were quick to assist with drink refills/order. I was there around 2 so it wasn't busy either but they still made the experience a good one. Food: the crab fries were okay - nothing special and for $12 you would maybe expect more real crab but imitation crab seemed to the crab of choice with the cheese on top of the fries. The shrimp/crab leg boil bag was decent in terms of taste (i got the medium spicy garlic seasoning) nothing to rave about though. I got the 1/2lb mix (1/2lb shrimp 1/2lb crab legs) which also came with 2 small potatoes and a half ear of corn. The crab legs were exactly full but the shrimp were a good size and were probably the best part of the boil bag. Overall not bad but nothing great and just not worth the overall price of what they offer in my opinion. I think this place might do okay based on there not really being a seafood place around (shrimp basket in milton probably the closest competition) but just nothing worth me coming back for is all. If you like fried seafood baskets, they had a few to choose from and maybe those are better. read more

If you have been wondering about The Cajun Crab, let me help you by my experience. I liked the decor, it's clean, whimsical, and relevant. The staff was welcoming and our server Josh is friendly and attentive, but not overly, which I really appreciate. The food, my wife and I started with Cajun Crab jalapeño boats, they were so good. We like that they seeded them and roasted them so it brought out the sweet of the pepper while cooling the heat a bit. My wife had the Fried Shrimp basket, the shrimp was cooked perfectly, not tough at all. Although she would've liked the fries a bit crisper, but not a deal breaker. I had the the 1lbs Dungeness crab boil, extra extra heat with the garlic butter and crafty Cajun mix and a side of hush puppies. It was a lot of food, but so worth it. Everything was delicious and well worth the money. read more

This place is amazing! I don't know about the other reviews but we had AMAZING customer service. Our waitress Kayla was very attentive and accommodating to our needs. The food was perfectly cocked and fresh! I will recommend this place to anybody who wants seafood!! read more

This my spouses and my first visit. Let me say we were underwhelmed and here are what we experienced; First the restaurant is very nice in its decor and the staff seemed friendly enough. Upon inspection of the menu we noticed they were real proud of their fare for it seemed a bit pricey. As it was early afternoon, we just wanted lunch so we each ordered a Seafood Basket. My wife also ordered a bowl of Gumbo which she was hot enough but didn't seem to have much spice to it. She is from Lousianna. She also selected Catfish & Onion Rings of which she told me she liked the fish but couldn't taste any onion in the onion rings and they seemed preformed and came from a frozen bag. She also had a slice (small) of Key-Lime Pie which she did enjoy. As for myself; I ordered the Fried-Oyster Basket with fries and coleslaw. I will say the Oysters were breaded and fried perfect and hot when the basket hit the table, but that is all I can positive. The fries tasted like they had been formed from mashed potatos with a machined texture and not very tasty at all and aside from the cup of coleslaw being only half full and costing $3.00, it tasted room temp and so so in taste. I believe if the slaw had been cold from a refer, it would have tasted better. My wife had a beer and I water. The total check was almost $44 for very little and so overwhelming food. Our waiter was solid and on point so he received his well earned $10 tip. When I queried my wife she just shook her head and stated,"We won't be back". "nuf said, but hey ya gotta try it for your self. We only had a small sampling and by the way, we did think the prices were a bit stiff. We are locals of 23 years and not tourists. read more

Showed up at 11:10 am (supposed to open at 11) with my family and the place is locked/closed. There was also an employee sitting outside in this outrageous heat who stated that whoever is supposed to open the restaurant has not arrived to let her in and management is not answering her phone calls. If whoever is responsible for opening up the restaurant on time for their workers to begin prepping on time, I really question the quality of everything else. I hope that employee finds another reputable establishment for employment, I feel terrible for her. read more

Do not go to the Cajun crab in pace the food is bad. We went there and got sour tea, stale crackers, uncleaned Calamari, and bad oysters. When asked to speak to the manager she refused to come out and talk to us had her staff running back and forth and gave us a gift card to apply to our bill. Poor management read more

Random broccoli in my boil...that's weird but okay...It's not bad but I have had better and will continue my search for great seafood! If cravings are deep then it might work in a bind though! The flavors are nice though. read more

We have eaten here multiple times and it was good today I got the snowcrab and shrimp it was over cooked, shrimp was small and tough the snowcrab was like chewing beef jerkey. We informed manager and all he said was he would inform kitchen. There is no excuse for bad seafood in Pensacola but it seems that all the restaurants have raised price and lowered quality. read more

While looking at the online menu, I saw Fried Tilapia but NO fried mullet..... no thanks, not for this NW Fla beach combing native. Apparently Tilapia is their base fish they use so..... OBTW....... We went there and gumbo was good, fried oysters good and the boiled red potatoes (spicy) were very good. read more

I have tried this place, 3 times, and every time there has been a issue. First visit, ordered scallops, menu said 6 scallops on plate, when plate came out ,it was two scallops cut into 6 pieces, I said NOW WAY, IAM NOT PAYING FOR THAT, the server tried to tell me that is normal, NOPE ,not paying for 2 that looked like they were cut by Freddy Krueger. Next trip, ordered shrimp boil , was the majority of shrimp was mush, old, a few were very good, but mostly old shrimp mixed in. Potatoes small and a nub of corn, left hungry and upset. I decided to try one more time, this time lunch, walked into restaurant, not busy, ordered food, and had to listen to employees complaining about the place, and also heard them discuss something that made me sick to my stomach , paid ,left and will never be back! read more

If you love a good seafood boil spot that's not overly priced with great fried sides & a good vibe, this is the spot to be! The servers always seem to be in a great mood, always offering suggestions, and staying attentive to needs. My husband and I usually get the boils with either the mixed sauce or the Cajun. Both are equally as good! I love to get crab legs and head on shrimp. Something about head on shrimp tastes a million times better than the ones without! read more

5 stars for the food and service. less than zero for the management. This place should be packed, but it's not. The servers don't seem to know who's table is who's, how to seat customers, etc. Not their fault.... they're trying awfully hard to take care of the customers. Management sucks, the food is good... You may need to ask to send your order back to be heated to the proper temperature, but man is it good. Why isn't this place packed every night? Why?.... Management sucks. That's why. read more

This place has Great Food and great service! I took me my Wife Uncle Aunt and two cousins. We started off with 2 orders of scallops and calamari. The servings were generous cooked to perfection fried shrimp grits with shrimp oysters and the bag of crab crawfish and anything else that's good that ya can think of!! Can't wait to go back again The only thing was the restroom maybe it was because they were busy? Come here Hungry!! read more

The food and crew here earned a well deserved 5 stars out of me tonight. Don't bother with the appetizers but only because your stomach is going to need the room for one, or more, of their customizable seafood boils! The staff is awesome as well, super informative on the menu and are quick to get the food out correctly! I'll definitely be back to cure my seafood craving! Not to mention they have Karaoke on Thursdays!! read more

Delicious crab legs and shrimp! Great service too. I've never eaten inside but they deliver quickly!

First! I do not, nor have i ever, worked here. This was my First Visit here. So this place has potential. But! It needs TRUE restaurant management... The safe serve certificates simply taped to the wall Should have been a Warning when i sat down. Reminded me of the pictures we used to draw in grade school that the teacher taped to the bulletin Board. (Dollar tree sales cert frames! For a 1.25 at least!) 3 Flat screen tv's at the bar 1st one showing Spanish programing No one in the room that was Spanish 2nd one showing nickelodeon channel and half the tv is flickering out off and on. No kids allowed in bar! 3rd tv i had no idea i gave up at the second one and me and the wife had fun translating Spanish words into what ever we wanted them to mean ( No Habla Espresso) Bar didn't have the supplies to make a simple cocktail Yep... Out of sprite? Tom thumb,and liquor store, across the street, Walmart within visual distance. All sell Mixers (Failed Bar Management) What ya see on the menu is not whats coming to your table. (Its a Surprise) (poor back house and senior Management) The portions don't match the price point. Just give us your money and leave Hungry! (poor Senior Management/ Ownership) Usually my wife's favorite! crab claws Appetizer for 19.99 just isn't a deal, Averaged 99.cents per crab claw. half the plate was fries. And the fries tasted better. (poor Senior Management) Fries makes it a basket not a Appetizer. The batter on the claws, where just slightly under cooked while the fries where perfect. (In experienced Fry cook) The young staff was great, Extremely nice! Energetic But stressed. Im only giving this place 2 stars because of how hard i seen them work. They are the only reason i would give this place a second chance... We had a abnormally long wait due to a large party that come in just before us. Understandable But i didn't mind spending time with My Hot wife. And told them the wait would be ok. I guess i thought A Hot wife equals Hot Food! But The cold food disappointed the Hot Wife. Yep, food came but missing Management never came by about the long wait.. only the staff did.. Unfortunately the Management also never appeared after i mentioned that the food wasn't fried at the correct temperature. Because ya know it wasn't the golden color batter turns when its fried correctly, This was a problem on the crab claws and the fried oyster basket. (poor back house Management) My wife ordered the muscles and clams with new potatoes and corn She received clams and muscles , only 2 New potatoes that where not cooked fully and 2 small broccoli trees instead of corn on the cob. This didn't look like the picture on the menu at all (poor Management) Now i know its not fast food, But on top of all of this our food came out cold. Cold as ice. (Did ya start singing the song in your head? Now its gonna be there for hours, Make it stop) Don't mind waiting but, Waiting on food thats Cold, is un acceptable. When my Hot Sexy Wife cut into the one smaller potato that managed to cook mostly, I expected steam to rise, nooooope room temperature. Morale of the story is, Two stars equals, Cold undercooked, mystery Quantity, and surprising extra food. Or was that to make up for poor management that left ya with a hungry Hotwife. Fire the management it needs to be replaced Immediately.... Or this Business wont last much longer! read more

Ok, it may sound counter intuitive, but being allergic to shellfish and getting to enjoy food here is one thing, but when the staff remember that fact AND know what you are going to order? Great! read more

Food is great, service is even better. The bartender was very attentive and everything came out promptly!

Food is amazing and the staff is awesome! Only down point is the high prices! Also, I am now hearing that if you can't finish all of your food and it's the all you can eat, they will charge you extra? Not sure how I feel about that, I want to be able to stop eating whenever I feel the need to do so. And at almost $40 a pop, I feel like that's my prerogative read more
