I'm wondering if they are under new management as the garlic butter is different and the food was extremely fresh. The service was still good in addition to a comfortable atmosphere. Good prices with many selections even if you aren't into seafood including pasta and tacos. The only thing is the seafood needs to be cooked with a lil crab boil or seasoning for additional flavor on the actual crab, etc ... I had 2 bags.... 1-jumbo crab clusters (they actual look like regular snow crab) , 1lb. shrimp, 1/2 lb green mussels (beautiful size and plump), 2 regular crab clusters, and 1/2 lb crawfish. Most importantly you get corn and potatoes in your bag. A perfect amount of food even if you are not a huge eater. Great drink options also. read more

We visited restaurant on a Thursday afternoon, plenty of seating and a welcoming wait staff. We ordered four appetizers, fried chicken wings, calamari, fried pickles and crab topped French fries. The wings and calamari were good, fresh each with a complimentary sauce. I enjoyed the pickles, good size, fresh each, breaded perfectly. Our entree consisted of garlic noodles, shrimp, snow crab, corn on the cob, and potatoes. We tried the crab da jour seasoning hott! I thought everything was delicious, plenty of shrimp, there was enough to take home, fresh, tasty food . Melrose park has a gem. Service was very good, attentive. Some customers will have an issue with the service fee included on their bills but I thought it was worth it. Definitely worth the trip read more

The food was great service was great could have had a few more items on the menu but that's all right we had a good time

This place is now under new management and staff. The food is over fried, and the drinks are not the same quality anymore. Very disappointing! Goodbye Crab Du Jour. read more

Service was ridiculous server kept asking for clarification and still got the order wrong. Eggs were green and crab legs small and filled with air Sauce is fine very watered down read more

Service absolutely was bad. Food was ok, I ordered a second drink it didn't come the same way I got the first one. Came in a small glass Had to wait for my food. No tool for the crab legs. Had to ask for the tool. Waiters not very friendly. Very bad for our first time there. I would not recommend it. The guy at the cash register receiving the money didn't even ask us if everything was ok. Very cold experience for sure please do better!! read more

Crab Du Jour - If you love onions, you'll love this fish dish loaded with onions Firm textured rice The dish was a $25 disappointment. . - Seafood Near Me - Melrose Park, Illinois

I'm giving this restaurant a 4/5 stars for the following: * Nice size parking lot (formerly Ruby Tuesdays) * Seated right away * Full bar for alcoholic drinks available * Various appetizers not found at some crab boil places in Chicagoland Now to the food. The appetizers we ate were very good - buffalo chicken wings and mozzarella cheese sticks. The crab boil was okay, portion size was good, but I feel like the flavor was missing. Maybe I should have tried the crab du jour seasoning. I opted for the garlic butter and cajun seasoning. Most crab boil places I visited, that seasoning combo would have been enough, but it tasted like the cajun seasoning part was missing, there was tons of butter flavoring. My daughter got the garlic butter noodles, and we both weren't fans. We had hopes that they would have used angel hair or linguine noodles. We're also happy that they put the noodles to the side, otherwise, it would have soaked up all the juice from the crab boil and the noodles would have been mushy! She did enjoy the strawberry drizzle cheesecake too. Our host was very nice. I don't recall his name, but he got a nice tip from us. read more

Came in around 5: 15pm on Thursday. Place mostly empty only 2 other tables already eating their food. Service was nice and waitress explaining dishes that was not described on menu. They brought my husband his plate without his rice. Waitress said that rice takes long to cook and was not ready yet. His food was cold. Waited 15 after he got his food still no rice and I didn't receive my food yet. Meanwhile a customer came in and order food to go and they got their food in 10 minutes. And I still didn't get my food or rice. Never got my food. Since you have to rate. 1 star for place looks nice and waitress was nice. read more

The service in this place is amazing! All of the staff kept checking on us the entire time. Our waitress, Edith was phenomenal at attending us and checking in with the food. It made us feel welcomed and never were avoided! As for food, the only thing I'd say, was the deviled eggs weren't actually deviled. They were just hard boiled eggs with topping. BUTTT other than that, the food had great flavor and the boil was boiling. I personally think the 15% gratuity is not bad considering that everyone is friendly and ready to serve us. It just makes paying way easy! read more

This place is terrible, I have nothing good to report, food is over priced Ànd portions are tiny , for a Cajun place it has no flavor, Ànd they have stuff on menu that they don't have to serve so your playing guess who ordering it's very annoying oh and the first sign I should have turned around is the sign in front door saying they automatically take15% tip Lile if u got tnat many issues u think your smarter than tbe customer when it comes to gratuity smh that's how I know of your store is doing good or not smh the waiters there were happy go lucky cause they get the 15% regardless of how bad tbe service Ànd food is personally I will be overjoyed to see this place close down Ànd they turn the spot into a tax place or something read more

Crab Du Jour - Potato looks moldy/ rotten - Seafood Near Me - Melrose Park, Illinois

Went in for happy hour. Sat at the bar. We ordered from their cocktail menu. All the drinks were very sweet. They were all made by the bartender, no mixers so it does take a few minutes to get a drink. We ordered a couple happy hour appetizers. They weren't bad but honestly, they were nothing special. All the staff checked in on us when they pass by. I'll have to come back again to try the food. Decor was as you expect in a chain seafood place, but it looked clean. I would have only done three stars because I was not blown away by anything, but two people having drinks and appetizers for a couple hours and it's less than 40 bucks with tip. I can't complain. read more

Greetings My Foodzies, we dine at Crab Du Jour 2-3 times a month, they have very good specials. The restaurant is always clean, the staff is warm, inviting and friendly. Our favorite server is believe it or not Dajour; he is friendly and attentive. The seafood bag and po boys are awesome. Plenty of food and seasoned perfectly. The crab fries and hush puppies are our favorite appetizers. My only complaint is that not to long ago they implemented an automated gratuity of 15%. Not that the servers don't deserve it but the tip should be at my discretion. I'm sure this was implemented because people don't always tip accordingly but regardless I still give them 5 stars. Please try them out and let me know what you think. Ciao, Ciao for now. read more

Service is amazing!! Offering great recommendations and quick! The crab fries appetizer was super yummy. Would not recommend the calamari. It was a little chewing. We got catfish entree and a po'boy. Both were great. The Parmesan du jour corn was a hit. The prices were very reasonable. Look forward to coming back and trying one of the boils! read more

Food is okay but the people are very nice and the restaurant is clean. The parking is good.

First time visiting this place and it had just opened a few weeks ago. It's off North Ave and has its own parking lot . We were told right when we got in that their system is having problems and they are only accepting cash. They have a good variety of food on their menu , in case someone in your party doesn't like seafood, they do have chicken and other non seafood items. The service was great , we really liked our waiter and hope he is there next time we go. You get a bib and gloves so you don't get your clothes and fingers all garlicky, and a wet wipe when you are done with your meal. The decor is very cool in there , not too tacky or cluttered . We got the crab deviled eggs for appetizer, it was FANTASTIC!!! I highly recommend them. My husband and I shared a steamed bag with the garlic butter and added noodles to it . The crab legs were a bit small but they were still good. We also got the crab cake basket , for $20, it wasn't worth the price . They were dry , over cooked, and small. Will not be getting them again, but it came with a side so we chose the waffle sweet potato fries . They were very good , brought the rest home to throw in the air fryer :) read more

Amazing experience! This was the first sea food boil for me and wow. I get the hype now. Honestly the most affordable place. We got a boil for about $60 for 3 people and we still had leftovers to take back home. I will say that it was a bit too salty but everything else was delicious. It came with potatoes and corn. The corn was juicy and creamy. For appetizers we had shrimp tacos. Oh my GOSH! It was beyond good. It came with spicy mayo with game the shrimps a soft kick. The Cajun fries were crunchy and fresh. Perfect amount of seasoning. We did come there with an 8 year old and I saw a lot of families with kids coming in. So I'm glad to see the place being family friendly despite being a bar. The interior is beautiful in my opinion. Obviously sea themed. the place was clean. The service was fast and the server was nice and explained to us the menu fast and easy. She clearly knows what she's doing. However we did come around 12, and we were the first people there, so about 3 different servers would come by each 10 mins and ask "how is everything" and that's fine but they choose a moment when you're chewing and can't answer. read more

Went here for the happy hour. It is 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. it was the first time I've been to this restaurant. Drinks were drink specials were $4.50 you call it however, the margaritas were $7.50 only 25% off so I ordered a vodka and cranberry. When they drink came it was in a 3 oz and very watered down glass for $4.50. not a very good deal. I ordered a bunch of appetizers from the happy hour menu. Everything was terrible also very small portions I strongly recommend avoiding this restaurant read more

Never thought I would eat anything with gloves lol BUT it was fun. Delicious flavor! I got lemon pepper. There's alot of food in the bag too. Well worth it. The decor is lovely, friendly staff, just overall great experience. The drinks are so good too and unique. Can't wait to come back! read more

I ate there yesterday. The place was clean and well lit. The service was quick and efficient. The food was tasty. The shrimp poor boy sandwich was tasty but kinda small in size. I also ordered the Seafood Combo option C which comes cooked in a bag consisting of shrimp, crab legs, lobster tail, corn on cobs and potatoes. You choose the seasoning and spice level that you wish the food to be cooked with. The tip is automatically included in the final bill at 15%, which was fine. read more

6 stars 1. Plenty of parking 2. Clean, attractive interior 3. Fish portions were generous, and wonderfully seasoned. I hurt myself on the Cajun fries. 4, 5, and 6 Our waitress, Melissa, was absolutely everything you would ask for. She was polite, patient, explained and offered suggestions, and then came back to check on our meal satisfaction and anything else we might need. KUDOS to Melissa for her exemplary service and exemplary professionalism. 7. Never had fried pickles before. Ridiculously tasty. They didn't even need sauce, My sister and I will be back. Do acknowledge Melissa in her work ethic and absolutely professional behavior. Melissa, the wonderful food, AND the fried pickles, means we will be returning customers. Oh. the grilled founder basket, and combo mix with oysters for my sister, were sublime. read more

Food was amazing! I had the scallop and black mussels combo boil, it was addictively yummmm! Even the corn and potatoes were tasty! Plentiful and delicious! My husband had the fried catfish, collard greens, fried okra and black beans. Service was knowledgeable and attentive. Ambiance was fitting for seafood. I actually had this for the first time in Charleston but plan on trying the Illinois location when I return for my birthday celebration. read more

Been here a couple of times, not the best experience but I went back. It had been quite sometime since we had been there hoping things would have changed we went in, were seated and I immediately asked about gluten free options. Now anyone knows fish is free from gluten it's how it's prepared. After the server went back and forth a few times, first message was nothing is gluten free. I asked fish that is boiled and steam it not?? Went back and asked said yeah the garlic butter is not. Ok come to find out I can have plain fish with like a lemon pepper seasoning. Not at all what I was expecting, so we left. What made me leave was that the nice friendly server had to go back 3 times to find out and still really didn't have a confident answer for me. How does a manager not come out and speak or the number one issue how does the chef not know what is gluten free. We are in a place where gluten free is very common now. Please get your act together and clean up your restaurant and make your staff knowledgeable. Won't be back!! read more

We had the crab bisque, which was creamy, buttery and delicious. The crab deviled ages were fantastic! The seafood pasta was also very good. The hush puppies were just ok.

WoW. We just had a fantastic meal with great attentive and knowledgeable service from Mellisa. Our two soups, clam chowder with bacon and crab bisque were thick, creamy and very good. I was worried a bit about the food, being under seasoned, after reading some other reviews, but our Du Jour Catch Special seafood boil ordered with the garlic butter sauce, at mild spice level, was perfectly seasoned, and simply delicious. So good, we abandoned our forks, donned our bibs, and just got messy eating with our hands out of the bag. We highly recommend this restaurant. Cheers! read more

I was actually going to another restaurant, saw this new spot and stopped to check them out. When I got here it was only 1 other table dining in. We were seated in a booth in the back. The menu offers ALOT! The appetizers are cheap like 5.99-13.99. They offer a variety of items. I ended up getting Dungeness crablegs bag with corn/potatoes, and my cousin got a shrimp poboy sandwich. Food came out hot and quickly. But it was bland. I mean nothing to it. The crablegs were very fishy tasting too I've never had thise before so I can't say if they were cooked ok, but they tasted different from king or snow crablegs and based on those I will not be ordering them again! No ma'am no thanks! The fried wings app we got was good, the wings are kinda big we ordered well done and they were kinda pink on the inside. But they were good. Our server was a young guy he was fair. Nothing more or less definitely no frills or thrills! *I honestly won't be going back but it was a nice place to try out. read more
