So disappointed. I've had nothing but great experiences here in the past, which makes this one even more surprising. A friend and I stopped by for some quick peel and eat shrimp. According to Google, the restaurant closes at 10:30 PM. We arrived at 9:55 PM, knew exactly what we wanted, and would have been in and out well before closing. When we asked for a table, the hostess told us they were no longer seating guests for the evening. While I understand restaurants may stop seating before their posted closing time, the issue wasn't the policy. It was the way it was handled. There was no apology, no explanation, and no invitation to come back another day. The interaction felt more like, "Why are you here?" than, "We're sorry, but we're unable to accommodate you tonight." A manager then came over and identified herself as the manager. Unfortunately, she was even ruder than the hostess and appeared completely uninterested in resolving the situation or showing any concern for the customer experience. At no point did anyone attempt to handle the interaction professionally or make us feel valued as customers. In a city with countless dining options, service matters. It's not always what you say, but how you say it. A little courtesy and professionalism would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, this experience left a very different impression than the excellent service I've received here in the past and I can't say that I'll be back. read more

So happy that there wasn't a wait here as a walk in. It's pretty big inside too. We really enjoyed pretty much everything that we ordered. The seafood boil was fresh and delicious. The only thing that was okay was their chicken sandwich so I suggest sticking to their seafood items! I love showcasing the best of Miami so find me on IG to see more @chloexmorgann read more

If you love seafood boils, then this is your place to come to! Ours was absolutely delicious with incredible seasoning and perfect temperature!! Kudos to the chef! We would order this again on our next visit here! If you love fried catfish, then this is the place to order them at! This catfish with fries was the BEST that I have ever tasted and I've eaten catfish in many states. Wow, it was perfectly cooked and the batter was out of this world! The fries were seasoned with a crispy outside and soft inside. Yummy yummy! Our server was Marvin, who is one of the hardest working servers around Miami. He was attentive, friendly, quick, and knows the menu inside and out. Thank you, Marvin! The vibe at Crab is really cool, very Johnny Depp with the pirate statues and decor. We loved it! The place is huge with very high ceilings and a giant sports bar with many TVs. They have their Signature Cocktails waiting for you to try! We can't wait to go back to enjoy it all some more! read more

It's so sad that I have to write this, but the place has gone downhill real quick. 36% service charge for groups of 6 or more. Before, it used to be booming and even when there was a slight wait, you'll still be seen within a reasonable amount of time. Now? 40 minutes to even been seen but someone. I get that it can be super busy sometimes but the last few times I've been there, it took FOREVER! Plus my man and I both got bad food poisoning. Save your money and your brain cells and find another seafood boil place. read more

I visited 5/14 The new manager Janet doesn't know how to manage situations she insisted on calling the cops rather than honoring a Groupon. I get policies (which is barely visible on their scratched up menus) but she didn't even attempt to come to a happy medium, or care to keep a returning customer. Once the cops arrived she finally managed to do her job. Beforehand she was showing me pictures of her daughter and just repeating " I can't lose my job" and making suggestions for me to return to the business which certainly wasn't on my agenda after being threatened with law enforcement.. extreme! Anyways my goal was achieved which was to use my Groupon & not come back! The seafood boils are now very salty, you have to ask for water it's not given upon sitting down and I heard employees doing drugs in the bathroom, perhaps that's why she couldn't think straight. This was once an okay spot to visit not anymore the atmosphere is completely different and was almost empty. PLEASE READ REVIEWS BEFORE GOING AND DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT DEALT WITH HER WEIRD BEHAVIOR. JANET ALSO LET ME KNOW THE PLACE WAS CLOSE TO SHUTTING DOWN I CAN ABSOLUTELY SEE WHY. RIP CRAB DU JOUR. read more

Hey great happy hour menu! I ordered a seafood broil for $15 --can't beat that! Unfortunately the broil was a bit cold only leaving the veggies hot. However I was too hungry to get it warmed up. I also got an amazing deal on the oysters, 12 for 15$ but it looked like the oysters had some kind of ...feature.. that we don't like to see or eat! Hey that's normal for fresh shellfish though the staff was kind enough to take it back and off the check. Speaking of the staff, as DARLING as they were they were very slow and had no sense of urgency. I was only one of three groups/people in the restaurant mid day and had to get up three times to ask for service, mind you I was sitting at the bar. I know they can do better! So I hope next time I go I can get a better impression!! read more

My husband and I visited this establishment on a Wednesday night with our baby in a stroller. We were looking forward to taking advantage of their advertised happy hour menu (5-8 PM). Unfortunately, we were told that happy hour was only available at the bar. What was extremely disappointing was that they were not willing to work with us at all, despite the restaurant being empty. They would not allow us to sit at the bar while our baby slept in the stroller nearby, or sit at a booth while my husband ordered and closed out a happy hour tab at the bar. They also would not allow us to split orders -- for example, him ordering a couple of happy hour items at the bar while I ordered from the regular dinner menu at a table. The manager made no exception and was unwilling to find any reasonable solution. In the end, we were effectively excluded from happy hour simply because we had a baby with us. We ultimately had to leave and scrambled to find another place to have dinner at 7:30PM. The policy itself feels unnecessarily rigid, and the lack of flexibility or accommodation toward families was disappointing. Families should not feel penalized for dining out. I hope management reconsiders their policy, and how they handle situations like this in the future. read more

Crab Du Jour is one of my fave seafood boil spots in Miami. Music is always a vibe! Food is always delicious! Crab nachos 9/10 - these were so good! The sauce on it was sweet and they weren't shy with the crab meat! The only thing that would take this to a 10, would be different tortilla chips. These were a little thick. Seafood boil 10/10: I had the mixed sauce with medium spice and it was BOMB!!! Delicious. Seasoned to a T with the perfect amount of spice. Loved it. Crab tostadas: my friend gave them an 8/10. She said she highly recommends. Not my first time here and won't be my last! Food is always on point. read more

Crab du jour is a super underrated spot! Whether you want to catch a game, have a couple drinks, or just EAT. It's the place to be. They have everything from shrimp po boys to crab tostadas. Mine didn't make the photo opp, but that speaks to my point! Get there! lol read more

I can't remember the last time I had service this bad at a restaurant. They got most of our orders wrong and half of us were done eating before everyone got their food. Heck it's been an hour since I ordered my drink, and I've told them at least three times at this point, and I'm still sitting here drinkless. I could go on: they didn't bring silverware or napkins out, never refilled our water, and went long periods of time when we never saw our waitress (despite the fact that the place was nearly empty). Oh yeah, and they NEVER actually got our orders right. Finally just gave up asking. And despite ordering during happy hour, I got charged normal prices. But at this point I'm too exhausted to ask them to straighten it out. read more

Great place! Sauce was a little light though.......... I did like that. They offered photos with your meal, but the photos were kind of expensive too. read more

First off, certain times the food is amazin. Other times not so much, the last time o was here the boil I had was not up to par. However, the customer service is what stood out from the hostess to the manager. The last time I was here the manager conducted herself in a way that did justice to her position( and if she's the owner thats even better). The person I would like to take about is my bartender, Nathalie, she was amazing. When I go out, it's not to do the trend of "solo" dating, it's really to enjoy my company and hopefully that of others who arent crappy. Nathalie is a pause at midtown. she's a person who sees you and advocates for you without you asking for it. So she is the reason I give this place 5 stars. read more

I had a very upsetting experience at Crab du Jour that needs to be addressed. I dined at this location for the first time and I was told that in order to sit outside, I had to give my driver's license. Although I was uncomfortable with this, I complied. Unfortunately, I forgot to retrieve my ID that day. When I returned today the situation escalated in a way that should never happen at any business. The manager on duty treated me with extreme disrespect and refused to return my driver's license, despite my calm and respectful requests. The situation became so serious that I had to call the police just to get my license back. No customer should ever have to involve law enforcement to retrieve their personal property from a restaurant. This experience was humiliating, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. There is absolutely no justification for withholding someone's identification or treating a paying customer in this manner. I strongly urge corporate to review this location's policies and management behavior to ensure this never happens again. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this location. read more

I love coming here for a quick lunch - bar area service is relatively quick. I've tried their poboy, wings and shrimp boil and everything is consistently good, great portion to get you full and reasonably priced. Highly recommend read more

Crab Du Jour - Miami - Shrimp (Head On) - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

I bought a Groupon for this restaurant because I LOVE SEAFOOD BOILS! I'm on a mini vacay and looked forward to this. I'm sad to report that I was disappointed due to a lack of flavor. I ordered the seafood boil with the Snow Crab Legs and headless shrimp, and my spice was supposed to be hot. I also chose the hush puppies and 2 for 1 margaritas The margaritas were superb, but the boil? No thank you. I'm accustomed to seeing the spices. But there was none. The hush puppies were microwaved. I know this because I could see the server nuking them. That caused them to be hard. I bit into the corn first. Very juicy, but no flavor. The shrimp were a good size, but no flavor. The crab legs were small and flavorless. And so was the potato as far as flavor. I gave up and took the bag as leftovers hopeful that there would be flavor the next day. Nope. The Groupon was $35 towards a purchase there. I still paid $52, which included a 7% tip. read more

Crab Du Jour - Miami - Mina, the best server! - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

Never coming back to this place again! We came as a group of 8 with kids included looking to have a good time. Since we got inside this place we felt unwelcome by the host. After being seated we told the waiter about 2 out of the group are allergic to some of the seafood so they could have another items of the menu different from the "all you can eat" option, but rudely she declined and expected us to separate the kids from the group to another table. Even after we ordered drinks and everything. The manager came and instead of being understanding she escalated the situation. She said "the last manager got fired for this situation". What kind of explanation is that? She could have just tried to attack the problem instead of attacking her patrons. Also the place was empty and now you know why, will not come back. read more

My husband and his family love seafood boils and we like to try as many as we find. Yesterday we finally got around to trying Crab Du Jour but it sadly left much to be desired. We arrived at 7 PM which is normally a very busy dinner time on a Friday night but the place empty and full of tables. While I was happy to be seated right away, this couldn't be a good sign. The drink specials are great! My husband got 2 for 1 vodka drinks and the beers ranged from only $5 to $10. Unlike at other seafood boils we've done, the menu was extensive with items for non-seafood boil eaters like myself and my son. While my husband and his family each ordered plates of crab, shrimp and crawfish, my son and I opted for a cheeseburger and a shrimp po boy. The cheeseburger was originally brought over to us with no cheese, but the waitress brought over a slice of cheese for it. The burger was so bland and a little on the cold side and my son took 3 bites and had no desire to eat the rest. My shrimp po boy was extremely bland. The bread wasn't toasted, seasoned, or even have a spread. My sandwich was just white, boring bread with a couple shrimp and a giant piece of thick tomato. I'm usually able to finish my sandwiches and ended up taking out the shrimp and leaving all the bread and veggies. I ordered Cajun fries with my sandwich that didn't taste Cajun-y at all. Although they tasted good, they were just fries heavily seasoned with pepper. My husband and his family enjoyed their seafood boils but agreed that other places offer more and leave them more satisfied. The place isn't horrible and the drink specials are great but it's not a place I will go to more than once. read more

Alrighty, first off I am a hugeeee crab broil fan. I had a spot near my previous apartment in Brooklyn that was the best of the best. Since moving to Florida about a year ago I haven't had a crab broil until coming here. I can assure you this place is top-notch! I genuinely thought I ordered more than I can finish but I shocked myself when I was digging in the bag looking for more food but it was gone LOL. I ordered: - Shrimp (head off) - Scallop - Dungeness Crab - 2x eggs - Potatoes & Corn - Mild Butter Garlic sauce This place is the definition of finger-licking good! The scallops were perfectly soft and tender. The crab was hefty and the meat was absolutely delicious. I didn't even need to use the crab-cracking tool, I just went in with my bare hands. My favorite part about eating here was the moment when I'd crack a crab leg and the meat would slide right out in one whole piece. It's a delightful feeling of accomplishment for food lovers! On another note the service was great, the restaurant was playing the best music, and the drinks were really good too. I was dancing in my seat while tearing up those crab legs. Ya must try them, you won't be disappointed. read more

Can't support an establishment that doesn't give the waiters the AUTOMATIC 18% SERVICE CHARGE!!!

Stumbled upon this place while walking around & definitely worth the stop. Surprisingly, this restaurant was empty on a Saturday afternoon, but it was fine. We sat outside & were not forgotten about and I definitely appreciated that. Our server was very attentive and was spot on with every suggestion. Medium is definitely needed for the kick. The calamari was good, nothing extra spectacular. The crab fries though... 10/10! If I could've ordered a large, I would've. The bag was good. The corn & potatoes didn't taste like anything, but everything else was good. read more

Had an absolutely delicious boil here! Tried some of the variety boil as an appetizer, but ordered the Cajun shrimp boil as my main dish and it was so good! The shrimp were super super juicy and had great buttery flavor. The drinks here are STRONG! They're really good but two will have you feeling it, so it's definitely a good place to come if that's what you're going for! Nice vibe, large, open space, with friendly service & food coming out quick. I would definitely come back and try more boils! I might be addicted now. read more

As disappointing as could be expected given name. Against better judgement after long day ordered crab po' boy with Cajun fries which were not spiced. Surprised crab was not lightly battered. It was both tasteless and taste bad. The presentation had a likeness to tuna fish. I ate only the bottom two pieces of toasted hero roll as they didn't touch said crab. Bread was good. Pickle was star of the combo. Sometimes listen to your first mind. read more

Food was delicious. Restaurant was Spacious with festive Decor. Once seated, the Service was great as well.

Disclaimer: I am a tourist. LOL. We stopped by this place on recommendation. It's a nice spot with "club vibes" in the inside. Appears clean as well. There is also a beautiful patio area! The food was great! I have been to a couple of these "sauce" seafood places in Louisiana but, I will say, they give you your money's worth here. The seafood was cooked well--not overly or under cooked. I had the House Mix for my sauce. Now, I will say...I prefer mixes from other places over this one. I don't know--this one just tasted like a bunch of creole seasoning to me lol. The cons we experienced: 1. The music was SOOOOOO loud. It was so odd how loud the music was--I mean, louder than some actual bars lol. It was really difficult to hear our waitress. 2. The service was a bit slow to say the restaurant wasn't crowded at all. Our waitress tried to explain why, but, again, we could not hear her. Bonus: a man played the saxophone atop the bar, which was a treat! read more

I was excited to dine at this place on 7/14/23 to satisfy my ongoing seafood cravings, but what a disappointment especially because the food was delicious but the service and vibe was so poor it left with a bad taste in my mouth. Even so, let me start with the positives; this place could have potential but they need a staff overhaul an ethos, let me suggest: "Treat people well, your reputation and business depends on it!" This place has: 1. Good location, decor, and my husband liked watching the sports on the many TV screens. It looks like the kind of spot that you can frequent, hang out, have lots of drinks, and have a good time. 2. Big bar, nice drinks & cold beer 3. The music may be a little loud for some, but we didn't mind at all, and we liked the playlist, which was upbeat and diverse. Problems 1. The hostess was lackluster in her greeting, and immediately upon seating, I didn't get a welcoming or positive vibe. I actually was considering leaving at this point, but I decided to stay because the place looked nice, and I was craving some good seafood 2. The waiter appeared uncomfortable communicating with us, and he asked us what we wanted to drink and order without introducing the drink menu or saying anything else; ie. introduction, greeting, specialty drinks, menu items, etc. Don't they teach this in waiter school??? We were trying to read and decipher the menu options, and he offered no input or help. When we told him we needed time to look at the drink options and menu, even though the place was not full or busy, he took a long time to check back with us for the order. 3. Our meal arrived fairly quickly and I must give compliments to the chef because everything was delicious. But again, the waiter did not check in, I know my husband probably wanted another beer and I most definitely would have appreciated a word about dessert options but the vibe was saying get the bill and get to steppin! I watched another party of 5 walk in the walked out 5 minutes later. It took us another long wait and me coercing the hostess to get this guy back to our table to collect the credit card receipt. We watched him sit at the bar and he clearly saw us still there, when he finally returned he said I could have just left it there and left. As we walked out, we understood why most of the booths and outside seating were empty on a Saturday evening. I don't know if this is how this place is operating, but I do know that I will not be returning, and I'll let others know, go spend your good money and time else where. There are far too many great restaurants with great food and outstanding customer service in Miami to accept this crap! read more
