Stopped in while in town for business as I had an hour before my meeting. A bit lacking on the interior decor in contract to the outside. Which has you park out back and yet entrance is in the front of the building that faces the busy road. Ordered the Jambalaya....took forever to get served and the meat to rice ratio was very disappointing. A few pieces of shrimp and not much more pieces of sausage...they were tasty but lacking in quantity. Ended up asking for a lid for the plastic container it was served in because it took so long to get that I was now running late for my meeting. I really wanted to like the place but it's going to be a hard sell for me to go back. read more

Excellent Jambalaya. Nice flavor with plenty of shrimp and sausage. The restaurant was clean. Table was a little shaky. Waiter was attentive and accurate. Service was a little slow but I assume they were preparing the dish instead of having it sitting before hand already prepared. read more

Ate here twice. Seafood was small. Crab meat was about 40% of what a full shell would have been and snow crab is in season! Would not recommend. It's expensive and not worth the money. read more

Wow! Run, don't walk to this restaurant! We had a party of 11. They were easily able to accommodate us on a Friday night. I'm a very picky fish eater and wasn't sure I would find anything to eat on the menu. I chose the blackened salmon platter (I neglected to get a pic). I don't like salmon. Stephanie told me I wouldn't be disappointed and she was right! I devoured it as did everyone else with their meals! We had 0 complaints! Food was excellent! Service was on point! We'll definitely be regulars! read more

Crab Attack Seafood Kitchen & Bar - We had the seafood boil. Excellent service and food! Highly recommended. - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Iowa

Reservations are needed for dine-in. This place is an absolute gem for seafood lovers and Cajun enthusiasts. Worth every bite. One of us got the garlic butter sauce and loved it; I got the crabby cajun sauce and loved it, it's got a good kick to it but nothing crazy! My husband got the triple attack sauce with attack level spice. Two different servers told him "it'll make a grown man cry." He sure did sweat it all out! Everything was awesome!! read more

Great place to eat. We had a wonderful time. Everyone was friendly and nice. We would go back

This place was great! People great, drink great, food great. The owners here were so kind and welcoming. The blackberry lemonade was made with real blackberries and delicious. But the crab, wow, absolutely scrumptious, with the house rub, so good. Would absolutely eat here again. read more

The food is very good, especially if you like spicy and/or New Orleans style food. The Cajun spices are excellent. I especially like liked the jambalaya. It is like a bowl full of magic, with shrimp and sausage, all with an amazing mix of spices. My companions had the seafood boil, which is this place's specialty. The boil food is customizable, with multiple flavors and three levels of spice. I tried the "crab attack" heat level, which is the highest. I would say it is about twenty percent of the highest heat you would get at a Thai restaurant. So, spicy enough to taste good but it isn't going to make most spice lovers cry. I thought it tasted very good, though. The service is good. Our waiter was very attentive. However, I have to say that the food comes out of the kitchen very slowly. We waited for about an hour for our food. So, if you are willing to wait an hour for really good food, I recommend it. But, if you are in a hurry, eat elsewhere. read more

Very pleased with the quality of the food. They were a little heavy on the seasoning on my wife's plate which was fries shrimp and catfish. But the food was delicious and I am so happy to have a greater alternative for seafood because red lobster Isn't quality anymore read more

The food and drink was really good but the service was horribly slow. We arrived at 5:30pm with 3 adults and one child. There were only 5 other tables seated with guests at the same time. We did not leave until after 7:30pm because our food took more than an hour to be served. Drinks were also taking upwards or 20-30 mins to get. It felt like there was too many servers on. Staff but not enough workers producing the food/drink. I hope they can figure this out... read more

The food was absolutely amazing. So flavorful and delicious, the triple attack seasoning is a MUST. The staff are attentive and incredibly friendly. We will be coming back! We had the shrimp and the snow crab, both delicious! Strongly recommend this place! read more

Crab Attack Seafood Kitchen & Bar - Snow crab with triple attack sauce. And shrimp with lemon pepper sauce - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Iowa

The star I gave was for the gumbo as that was pretty damn good! The 50 dollar seafood platter was over cooked or really old, the crab was hollow and dried up, the food did not match the quality I would expect. It would be hard to justify spending 60 bucks again for a small tub of food. Not a good value at all. James was the staff that took my order he was nice and super helpful. read more

Love the gumbo! A great find for me. My Father is from New Orleans and we grew up on good southern food. We travel through Cedar Rapids often on our way to Iowa City and I find it an east stop right of the highway! read more

This place was awesome! Friendly, fast and fabulous!! We ate the crabby feast and it was cooked to perfection! The snow crab legs were cooked just right and the Cajun honey seasoning we choose was perfect, just enough heat. Server and cook were friendly and made us feel welcomed. Highlight recommend this joint!! Thank you! Also, very clean!! read more

Crab Attack Seafood Kitchen & Bar - Crab boil with potatoes, corn, sausage, and crawfish - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Iowa

I've eaten here twice now and it hasn't disappointed either time! Only downside is that sometimes it's hard to get ahold of them to order pickup/make a reservation, but they're busy for a reason. You get a good amount of food and flavor for what you pay! If you're into spicy food make sure to check them out, because that triple attack spice is unworldly. read more

Insane! Flavor! Omg I didn't think crab or shrimp could taste much better. I was wrong. What they're doing here is next level flavor. We got the family feast with garlic butter and medium spice. In seafood boils I usually don't care much about the potatoes, corn or sausage...all 3 were amazing and my wife and daughter even wanted to drink the garlic butter sauce. It's seriously that good. I've been to East Coast crab shacks, I've had crab in Baltimore. This place is THE BEST seafood boil I've ever had. We'll be back many, many more times. read more

Food was good.. ordered it and got curbside service.. took about 20 mins not too long... read more

Crab Attack Seafood Kitchen & Bar - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Iowa

I went here with a few friends yesterday. It was really good! The seafood was fresh, delicious, and perfectly cooked. They have a number of creative sauces and seasonings that you can pick from. I chose the lemon pepper sauce and original seasoning to go with the snow crab and shrimp platter. The platter includes corn and potatoes, and I added andouille which was well made. I'd looked at the menu before going, and was thinking the sauce might overwhelm the seafood. It didn't, but instead added great flavor. Sides other than corn and potatoes are available as part of a build your own platter, or as add on's. I'm going back so that I can try their other menu items like pasta, gumbo, and jambalaya. I highly recommend this place. read more

Their "Cajun Seafood" sign caught my eye while driving in downtown Cedar Rapids this evening. What followed was literally just shy of a miracle! For one, this restaurant is just plain comforting. Between the impeccable service I received & the absolutely authentic friendliness of those there, the food tastes this good because it's wholesome. I tried two bites before I had to write this review. Ordered the Jambalaya & Fried Corn (on the cob). The fried corn was so rich & tasty, I couldn't help but share with another soul--to experience it too! The shrimp in their jambalaya is the high quality I hope to get when I order elsewhere, yet rarely do. Please support this local business so we can enjoy authentic Louisiana cuisine here in southeastern Iowa for many years to come. Thank you, kindly! read more

We ate at Crab Attack 2 today in Cedar Falls at the College Square Mall. It was outstanding. The quality of food was very good. The selection was also quite good. This was their very first day in Cedar Falls and I think we'll be back again soon. It's in the food court. You walk up and order and eat in the court, or take it with you. We thought it was affordable, especially for seafood in Iowa, and it tasted outstanding. The basic level of cajun spice is really good for anyone not familiar with it, and they can get spicier. We had shrimp and also some crawfish, and had some left over to take home. It was fresh, and really tasty. I love their sauce. Make sure you get plenty of napkins, however! read more

Just wow. We ordered for the first time tonight, and will be back for more. So. Much. Flavor. We ordered "mild" spice and it was still nearly more than our Midwestern palates could handle, but even though it hurt a little, I couldn't stop going back for more bites of mu crawfish etouffee. The jambalaya was amazing, too. The COVID order/pickup process was seamless, too - they asked for a car description and had the food hot and ready when we pulled up. Go get some, stat. (You're welcome.) read more

Really enjoyed this place! Certainly not fine dinning, but a place with good character. Attentive service. Food is generous, well prepared, generous portions, and well seasoned. Flavorful food in Iowa is not common enough and this was quite flavorful. Spicy! We will go back for sure! Well done!! read more

We went to this place 2/23/2023. First thing we walk in through the door by the back parking lot. First thing we hear How can I help you. I said just the tow of us. Then I hear Next time use the other door that is the employee entrance. Strange I thought, this seemed like the correct door. Apparently you need to walk to the front. We ordered and it took sometime but not long. I got crab legs so did my husband and he got friend shrimp as well. We were given one cracker to share. My husbands food served in a to go tin. With plastic utensils to get meat out of crab legs. I was served my dinner in a square plate with tinfoil wrapped and plastic utensils. Very hard to get our crab while sharing a one cracker thing. After I ate my meal I gave my left overs to my husbands left over container (his plate). I then discovered my plate was a top to a Styrofoam to go container. How weird, with the cost of our meal I thought we could have been given proper plates and utensils since we were eating in the restaurant. We will not be back. read more

This was a great place to get crab and shrimp! Great wait staff also! Hopefully they expand to other cities in Iowa!

Two inch and a quarter slices of corn on the cob, two potatoes, over-cooked shrimp, and the most meat lacking crab I've ever seen all covered is some bizarre sauce for $60.00. Never again. read more

From the first taste of the authentic Louisiana Gumbo I was a fan. All the food was excellent! But, my disappointment was to be handed a plastic fork and my wonderful Gumbo in STYROFOAM! The food is much too good to be presented this way. I get it for take out...but IF I am going to pay good money for great food I don't want a plastic fork and a styrofoam cup! Hard to decide about being a regular with that. I hope they make a better presentation next visit! read more

I'm gonna be as honest as possible! If you want to spend as much money as possible for a little amount of food go here! This jawn real life mid (not good) the drinks is fye but everything else ! I literally wanted to rumble everybody in there when i saw how little my food was! I got the pack 4 and it came it 2 baby potatoes cut in half, half of corn cut in half (mfks cut the corn that was already cut in half... i thought i was eating a baby corn!) 5 tiny pieces of shrimp and some baby snow crab leg for 30 fucking dollars...... i can get a platter from anywhere else for 15 tf going at this jawn?? The waiter brought my food out i was waiting to see if someone was following her with the rest of my food... smh as black people we gotta do better! read more

So i got the pack 7 in crabby cajun.when i say i wasted my money and time First off im from the South I dont know how puting Spaghetti sauce on something makes it cajun this is my first and last time going there so for anyone who knows what cajun is dont wast your money your better cooking yourself . read more
