Go during the lunch special. So worth it. Got the mussels and shrimp with the mixed sauce. Just the salty, garlicky fix I needed! The drink was a little water down but overall the service was good. read more

First the odor hit you as you walk in the restaurant. The service is horrible. The staff act like they rather be anywhere beside at work and it shows in the food and service. We were seated at a booth that you could not reach the table. My husband order Shrimp Alfredo and it was inedible. I ordered the fish basket with side of shrimp. The fish was not cooked properly and the tasteless. The best thing we had was the Cajun fries. We will not be returning ever! read more

Unfortunately, my first and last time at this location. the restaurant is unsanitary and unclean. There was months of built oil dust and dirt on the blinds and window sill right next to my table. Along with used straws, paper trash and dead bugs, the places looked unkept and the staff matched the vibe. the food was poorly seasoned and proportioned. I had about 20 shrimp with one potato, one egg, and one piece of corn I was overall disappointed. read more

Ordered eggs with my seafood, never received them. And I reminded her again and still never received them as she sat at the bar with her friend. Soda was flat and our server was tending to what I think was her kids the whole time too lmfaooo. Told my husband it felt like we was at a daycare. Was $50+ for 8 solid pieces of shrimp lol. Not worth it. Will not be returning and I love crab de jour just not this location. read more

We tried this place out because I really wanted some fried shrimp. The service was blah from the moment we walked in to the time we were seated. They weren't attentive. They were preoccupied with each other. They were unprofessional. My shrimp were tasty, but the corn was dry and overcooked. My husband enjoyed his bag of shrimp, egg, corn and sausage. I ordered a piece of fish, and that was overcooked as well. There was an odor in the restaurant that I can't describe. I took most of my food to go because of this. There's plenty of parking. We won't be back. read more

Whenever I want a seafood boil, Crab Du Jour is my first pick. However, that changed for me tonight when I drove the 25 minutes to pick up my order only to get home a realize that the seafood boil was missing all the extras (corn and potatoes). All I had was the meat. No sides. What made is worse was the lack of empathy from management. Specifically, Treasure who seemed more interested in attempting to argue with me than resolving my issue. Her resolution offered was to bring the food back the 25 minutes or come another day to get the sides that were supposed to be in the seafood boil. Then she just stopped talking to me as if I wasn't still on the phone and in the middle of trying to resolve my issue with her. Don't waste your time here. There are plenty of other seafood boil restaurants in the triangle that will certainly offer better service than this. read more

We came in to celebrate our daughter's birthday on a Sunday afternoon. The place was quiet for the most part. The food was amazing! We have a party of 10 so I don't know if that played a roll but the only thing I could say is the waiter could have been more attentive with us since it was slow there. Had to ask multiple times for the same things and also had to ask for refills as well. read more

I would highly recommend this place. The seafood boil was delicious. I haven't tried anything else on the menu but my coworker had the seafood pasta and fries that he enjoyed. The service was good and the restaurant wasn't bad. They could work on keeping the place a little cleaner but I've seen worse. Check them out. read more

Very bad! Food was decent and flavorful! Except I was missing a portion of my order and had to wait another 10 minutes or so. Waitress was very rude!; started discussing their mistake with other customers and staff; as it was the customers at fought!

Decent restaurant if you want crab legs. They have an all day special where you can either buy 2lbs of crab legs (about $60) and get a lb free, or buy a combo and get a side free. We started with 2 appetizers, the Mac and cheese balls and the lobster fries. We really enjoyed the Mac and cheese balls ($6.99). The lobster fries ($14.99)were okay, not very heavy on the lobster whatsoever. We decided to share the combo with the 1/2 lb snow crab legs, 1/2 lb shrimp, and lobster tail. Our included free side was a 1/2 lb sausage. It also came with a 1/4 corn on the cob and a few potato's as well. They didn't ask us what we wanted in terms of spice or flavors but it seemed they did a garlic butter which is what we would have chosen. For a Pepsi and sweet tea and the above the total came to about 75 dollars before tip. The ambiance was kind of like a joes a crab shack. The service was not great, but not terrible. I probably wouldn't return but glad I tried it out. read more

The staff here were lovely and very attentive and pleasant. Unfortunately, the overall experience was ruined by the fact that the whole place smelled HORRIBLE. A mix of mildew/mold and old fish that really should not be part of any restaurant's ambiance. I only ordered a few small bites and a drink, which were both tasty, but the whole thing was just ruined by the stench. I tipped my server well because they were amazing, but omg I hope I didn't catch some mold-mildew based disease. read more

We stopped in for lunch at noon to basically an empty restaurant. We had to wait for someone to seat us and noticed one diner and two at the bar. Our server took our drink order and upon returning we gave our order. 25-30minutes later our fried meals arrived. My wife asked for mayonnaise but he said they have been out of it for weeks. Surprisingly the food wasn't bad but not worth coming back. No ambiance, dark, old and uninviting. We had an appointment nearby shortly that kept us there. read more

For starters, the waiter didn't know what kind of fish they had, the menu said fish platter and I asked what kind, no answer. I asked for silverware, they had only forks and spoons no knives. Some of our orders never came, and when asked about it, the waiter said "a lot of people are still waiting", welp that did it for me and the people at my table, and our food was cold. Last but not least, there was paper and crumbs around the table we were at, red flag for me. Our first and last visit here. T. Neal read more

When we came on Sunday for lunch and saw the place completely empty I was getting ready to run ‍ but since I was wearing my running should I decided to stay. And I am glad that I did ! It's been a while since I've had some creole food and It didn't disappoint ! Seasoning was good, portions were reasonable and the server did a good job in my opinion. I am glad to have this type of food as an option not too far from Wake Forest. The reason why I couldn't give the extra star is because I didn't find Crab du jour very affordable so I would have to save it for a special occasion. Furthermore the ambiance was not the best as this place was pretty empty. Will I come back? Yes but not too often. read more

I usually order from this place about once a week. I usually get it to go, they arent the best but they are close and they offer a 1/2 snow crab boil which is perfect for the late night craving when I have it. I ordered to go last week, over the phone. They stated 5-10 minutes which already had me uncomfortable. I pick the order up and nothing is popping right, they are like rubber. I had to dig into everyone, a waste of money. Which is why I only do the 1/2 pound from them because you never know. Called to speak with a manager, just to inform. He asked what time was the order picked up. It was around 9-10pm, he stated it was probably because they were about to close. They dont close until 11, so thats no excuse. If you're still open and taking orders its no way I should have old food especially when it doesnt take long to steam crabs. He then stated his "brother" would call back, as he was at the bank. Never got a call, no problem. Like I said, just wanted to inform him. Last night I decided I wanted crabs but since they are so close and it was "5 minutes" last time, I decided to drive there then order. I get there around 10:15 and as soon as I park I noticed a worker turning the open sign off but I know they dont close until 11. I call in and the worker acts confused about 1/2 snow crabs so I tell her no worries I would order online, like I usually do. Im sitting outside of the establishment and I notice people getting turned around everytime they try to go in. I go online to verify the menu hasnt changed then proceed to doordash to place a pick up order. They were closed on door dash, which sometimes isnt out of the norm. So I call back in, only a few minutes has went by. She tells me they close the grill at 10:30, huh? But you close at 11, it takes no time to steam crabs. So now I want to speak with a manager to verify. I called in today, same manager from last week. Super non chalant but listened. He ended up telling me he wasnt there cause he had to pick up his kids but when he is there he closes at 11 like they are suppose to. But they had a new stock holder there, who has been with them 2 months and pretty much can do what he wants and also the kitchen manager will shut it down when he feels the need or if they are slow. He also told me that guy I saw turn off the light was probably the kitchen manager, we confirmed it was. He ended it with saying he would let the owner know, just like "his brother would call back". Customer service is terrible when a manager doesnt care and can only offer excuses and rebuttals. Why not just close at 10:30? Why not take accountability as a manager? Seems lazy on everybody end to me, would not recommend, especially after dark since staff clearly closes when they feel the need, but I would highly recommend crafty crab on wake forest rd. The ONLY reason I didnt order from them is because they dont offer the 1/2 pound, a little further and are ALWAYS packed with a crowd (I like to eat inside this one). Which told me everything I needed to know when he said, they close if slow. read more

For good food and fun times , check out Crab Du Jour. I specifically went on a Thursday as I learned they had a DJ at 6pm but after 7pm it turned into karaoke night as well. Located in Plantation Point Shopping Center .. next to Red Bowl, you can find plenty of free parking spots in the parking lot. I arrived around 5:30pm and was able to get a spot out front. I chose to sit at the bar initially and ordered a Lemon Drop Martini made with Absolut Citron but if you have another vodka preference, the bartender will customize it for you. They offer $2 off certain cocktails as well and I took advantage of that special and got a Pirate Mule similar to a Moscow mule. I closed out my tab to go sit at table. * warning gratuity is already added to check even thought it doesn't say it on receipt At the table, Xavier provided great service despite the large crowd that started coming in after 7 for this special night. I ordered a crab boil bag with Snow Crab Legs with Du Jour sauce ( a combo of all the spices : Garlic Butter, Lemon Peppet, Old Bay). And asked for medium spice level. He explained it comes with one corn and two potatoes but can add more if you choose for additional costs. I thought the food was tasty and the 1 lb = 2 clusters was plenty for me. read more

Shrimp broils with the signature sauce can't be beat. Lots of flavor. I once bought it for a camping trip. We devoured it of course.

Unfortunately, not a great experience here. We were celebrating a milestone and we chose Crab Du Jour, it was a letdown. Service was the biggest issue. Took quite a while to even get our drink order placed, we were waiting on our server to show up. The food was meh. The fried mac and cheese was pretty bad. It actually tasted like it was from a package from the frozen section of the grocery store. My fried shrimp were average. I chose the Cajun fries, only had a few. Undercooked and basically zero seasoning. My dinner guest chose the crab legs with shrimp boil, with lemon butter seasoning. She enjoyed her meal. We were given no silverware, no plates, no crab cracking utensils. I asked for silverware, our server looked surprised. She brought us each one fork... I asked for the crab cracking utensil - she said, "oh! We were cleaning them." Hmmm $70 before tip for a completely lackluster meal with pretty poor service. One and done. Tons of parking, if you want to give them a try. read more

I'm from out of state, I feel that's important to note because maybe people that's from here like this, but I would give this definitely a three out of 10. Ordered my food to go in person, there were huge water bugs that were dead in the to go area, but since the bugs were very close to the front door, I just figured that's how they got in and it wasn't necessarily a representation of the food quality. The corn in my boil bag was extremely old, the potatoes were old as well and you could tell because they were discolored severely. The house sauce lacks erious seasoning. However, the restaurant was packed, it seemed like people were enjoying themselves. All reviews you see that are mentioning the staff members not delivering great customer service is true. When I walked into place my order, the young lady was on her personal cell phone, giggling, and smiling. I had to tell her, although I was standing there with the menu in my hand, that I was ready to order, and she told me to wait a minute. There was also a guy, no uniform, but he came from the back and asked us did we need any additional help when we declined he pulled out his cell phone and started talking on the phone giving someone directions to get to the restaurant. Lastly, in the to go area, there were at least a dozen orders ready And someone's order got mixed up, you could hear the associates talking smack about the customer although the restaurant is the one that messed up the order. I don't think employees should visibly be on their phones, and if you are, you do need to acknowledge the customer the moment they walk in, we also should not speak ill on anyone within earshot of anyone else. read more

First time trying this place, also first time ever tasting a southern cajun broil. The place was spacious and nice, and cozy. There's a nice bar area, booth area and space for larger parties. I was impressed by the space and use of decor. I ordered "Make your Own" with Snow Crab Legs and Shrimp (head-off), along with potatoes and corn. I also ordered some boiled eggs to go in my bag. The sauce I chose was the De Jour Special (which is all the sauces mixed) and Medium Spice Level. It was good! I'm typically a picky person, but the food was clean, hot and delicious! Next time I will order some more sides and try the Hot Spice Level. Other than that, me and my party were satisfied!!! My friends ordered: "Make Your Own" crab legs and shrimp (head-on) plus two boiled eggs in Mild, "Make Your Own" crab legs and black mussels with sausage and boiled eggs on mild de jour special, and "Make Your Own" green mussels and crab legs with boiled eggs and Hot De jour special. The service was good, very helpful. He made sure that we had everything we needed and more, I have no complaints at all. I will definitely order from here again. (I only have videos, no pictures but I will screenshot). read more

Good food I got crab cakes and sweet potato fries. Everything was tasty and seasoned just right. I got a takeout order. Well pleased.

Awesome customer service. Restaurant was very clean. Bathrooms were clean as well. Food came out in a timely manner, pretty fast actually. The sweet tea was good too. I decided on head off shrimp, crab legs & scallops in a mild lemon pepper & Cajun seasoning. Nice size scallops, not the little ones. Oh my goodness; I was struggling to finish it. I was full and greedy. Lol. It also had corn on the cob & red potatoes in the bag. They have TVs for those who enjoy sports. Restaurant also has a bar. The decor was pretty cool too. I think I saw a private room where parties could be held as well. I will be returning. I always get to go from here. This was my first time eating in. And it was a great experience. read more

This place is not clean. The bathrooms look like they have not been cleaned in a week. There was urine and feces all over toilet and stall with a horrible stench hitting your nose before you enter into the bathrooms. The entrance (waiting area) had trash and paper all over the bench. The menus are greasy to touch leaving a grimy residue. We did not stay to eat for the shear chance their food safety practices mirrored the uncleanliness of the dining/waiting areas and bathrooms. I can understand the restaurant looking in disarray after a lunch time or dinner rush but this was at 5pm. The restaurant was not busy and the staff was standing around, congregating/leaning at the hostess/pick up station. read more

If you want to get the thumping night club feel while you eat then this is where you want to be. If you don't want that, don't go on Thursday's.

The restaurant is decorated very nicely The hostess and waitresses were amazing The food did not hit the taste buds properly for us. It might have been the choice in sauces.

My boyfriend and I went here and I can only spoke on what we ate, the crabs were good, nicely cooked and a big size but it was overly seasoned with garlic even though I had ordered Cajun seasoning the spiciest they could make it it was just to garlicky which neutralizes the spice, he had the shrimp po'boy which was in his opinion good and gave it a 8.5, while the fries were great. Service was amazing, and the ambiance as well all though I felt like the chairs were dirty and the woman's bathroom smelled actually like death, I gagged. read more

I experienced severe illness after ordering the oysters and would advise caution when considering this menu item.

This is my daughter's favorite place. I usually get the soup and oysters, and she likes to get messy so she will usually order the crab legs and muscles. Service is great during the weekends morning/early weekends. The decor is super cute in a sea/ pirate type of way. (If you are on tik tok and heard the "North Sea" vids. But it's cute everyone seems so inviting. Right off capital close to the mall, so if you get tired of spending Benjamin's lol you should definitely stop by read more

Great food but service could have been a little better. I took my mom up here to give her a tasty seafood meal. We went in and ordered 1 lb king crab, 1/2 lb shrimp, and 1/2lb scallops with garlic butter. The garlic butter was perfectly seasoned and complimented all the seafood we ate. The potatoes and corn were cooked perfectly. Some of the shrimp was a little overcooked but still delicious! The struggle came with eating the food. We had to ask our waiter for plates, then silverware, then had to ask for crab crackers to open the crab legs (because you know, king crabs fight back). Other than that, our waiter made sure our drinks were full and food came out quickly. Boyfriebd enjoyed the po boy and said the sauce on it was excellent! A nice serving of lobster too! Overall, they are a little pricy but a great place to treat yourself to some good seafood. read more

The food was pretty good. The portion size is smaller than other crab boil places. The vibe was real nice though if you're into the club vibe on a Thursday night. The music was so loud you couldn't hear yourself talk or think but everyone was having a good time. Apparently they do that every Thursday. The king crab was tasteless, overcooked and rubbery. Skip the king crabs. Stick with the snow crabs. The service was good. read more

First of all, DO NOT come here on a Thursday night unless you want an alternative to the club. I went unknowingly for takeout and the music is so loud you cannot even hear yourself think! I placed a pickup order via DoorDash and had to actually go in and ask them to confirm it which meant I waited longer than anticipated. I ordered 2lbs of mussels and this is what I got, the "two pounds" include hefty potatoes and corn, not the actually mussels. When I went back in to voice my concern, I was told "the manager weighed it and it's 2 pounds." What a ripoff! I'm going to stick to Crafty Crab or Seagate from here on out. read more
