Crab Du Jour is definitely on my top list for roanoke visits! It was my first time dining here and i can say i had an amazing experience. I was immediately greeted by the host and seated even on a busy saturday night. Had a small booth perfect for me and my partner. Our server Lori was amazing, remembered all modifications, checked in on us frequently, worked quickly. Lori took our order at 8:43 and the food was out by 8:52! Build your own catch (2) (1)- 2 clusters crab legs +1 free when you dine in on saturdays! , 1/2 lb shrimp head off, corn, potatoes, egg (2)- 2 clusters crab legs +1 free, 1/2 shrimp head on, mussels, corn, potatoes ticket totaled to $130.60 The shrimp was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Sauces and seasonings were delicious. Everything came hot, sweet tea was perfect (coming from a sweet tea addict). Overall i'd say i had a great experience and will definitely be back. 10/10 i'll request Lori again :) read more

I asked the girl at the desk at our hotel where the best seafood was. She was soooo right! Oh how I love a good seafood boil!

It's been a while since we have been wanting to try this place out, something always came up and it was always fast food. However we recently took the time to try it out and we were pleased with both the service and the food! It was on a Saturday afternoon that we decided to try it out, no wait time, we were immediately seated at a booth. Everything looked clean, there were several families already dining. Definitely family friendly! We ordered Combo D with extra potatoes and extra corn and we also decided to add noodles. We went with Original Cajun Seasoning Mild (just because the hubby can't take it spicier ) guys, it was seasoned right, not too salty, very buttery, so delicious! We also ordered the fried calamari, it was absolutely crunchy and delicious, loved that it comes with 2 different dipping sauces. This place is a must try if you like seafood! There's alot on the menu we have yet to try but we definitely liked this place! Will be coming back read more

The seafood boil bag was wonderful. Three of us shared a large bag. All of us agreed it was very good.

Prices are pretty good compared to the area I am from (DC). Only paid about $34 for 1 pound of crawfish, 1/2 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of clams, potatoes, corn, and sausage. Service is good. Quality of seafood is hit or miss. Interior is cool and there's lots of TVs. I do recommend getting a medium or higher for spice because as someone who usually gets mild at other seafood boil places, this places mild is truly mild and tastes like nothing. The medium was great. read more

Crab Du Jour - Seafood Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

Crab Du Jour is not your typical traditional seafood restaurant. It is a memorable dining experience in a dynamic ambiance, with a very creative seafood menu, wonderfully cooked fresh seafood, served in a dynamic way, and with extraordinary customer service. Founded in 2019 and based in Noth Carolina, this chain business specializing in signature Cajun-style boiled seafood with a variety of seafood sold by the half-pound, then steamed via plastic bags and presented table-side with the seasoning of your choice, stands out from the other seafood restaurant by its innovated nature. But what impressed me the most from this restaurant located on Valley View Blvd near the Valley View Mall is the well run it is with great hospitality and excellent customer service. When I arrived at the restaurant, I was impressed by the majestic building structure beautifully designed and painted, with a large lit sign with the name and logo of the restaurant on a tower high above. This and a statue of a pirate up front. Inside, you first walk into a beautiful decorated foyer also with a statue of a pirate and a giant red crab. Then through another doors you arrive at the restaurant's interior and the Host's station. The host gave me a warm welcome and took me to my table handing me a copy of the menu. The inside of the dining area was very clean and lively decorated in a relaxed environment. My server Kevin, a young US citizen of Chinese descent, and a Biology major graduate of Virginia Tech, gave me a warm welcome with a big smile and explained the menu to me in a very effective way. To drink I had an Iced Sweet Tea. As appetizer, the Coconut Shrimp; and as the main entrée the Make Your Own Combo with 1/2 lb of Scallops and a 6oz Lobster Tail with the Du Jour Special seasoning. This came with corn on the cob and potatoes. When my server brought out the Coconut Shrimp, it was so fresh and fried nicely. One of the best Coconut Shrimps that I have ever had. Then the main entrée was brought inside a plastic bag with the season inside. My server Kevin mixed the items inside with the seasoning by shacking the bag and then turned it over inside the aluminum deep dish. The seafood was very fresh, of excellent quality, and cooked to perfection. The seasoning was very tasty without being too spicy. I had some trouble taking the meat out of the Lobster shell and asked my server for some help and he put on some plastic gloves and stripped the meat off the shell. It all tasted so delicious. For dessert I had the Chocolate Mosaic Cake and asked if it came with Ice Cream. My server said he would bring it with Ice Cream and he brought it out with Chocolate Ice Cream. Amazingly delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to all those out there lovers of fresh seafood cooked nicely and seasoned with a wonderful seasoning. Served with an amazing presentation by an excellent server. read more

The interior of place definitely fits the seafood vibe well, with Jack Sparrow greeting you twice as you walk in. However, Jack is looking kinda rough nowadays. We both ordered combo B; however, we got different seasonings. Our Waiter, Kevin, who was excellent, suggested I get the Du Jour special. My grandfather got the Cajun seasoning. The food was great and came out promptly. For dessert, I got Tiramisu, which was delicious and was presented quite nicely. read more

The food was good but finally getting to it was much to be desired. When we arrived the host told us we could be seated in 10 minutes. There were eight of us so we waited in the lobby instead of in front of the host stand where there was a lot of foot traffic. After 10 minutes I walked in and he said it would be another three minutes, so I walk back out to the lobby. I could see his face through the glass door the entire time. I figured he would just look up and see us staring at him and know that we were still there. After another 15 minutes, I walked in and he seemed surprised to see me and said, "I looked for you." Mind you, he never looked into the lobby!! I said, "we have been standing here the entire time." He finally sat us after another 10 minutes! read more

I've only done take out but they are so quick and the boil is oh so good!! I always get shrimp, and snow crab with their du jour special flavor and anywhere between mild to medium spice. Waiting for my food the inside looks very ship-like, and feels like it should be near the ocean. if I'm ever back in the area I'd be happy to get more food from them! read more

Great service, atmosphere and unique presentation. Definitely will try it again. Recommend the steamer bag with classic Cajun add sausage!

Crab Du Jour on Valley View Boulevard was a rather barren place when we entered on a Sunday in October. Host and waitress were extremely pleasant and helpful. Seafood Boil is the focus of this place. We tried the two pounds (this was a special, possibly buy one pound get one pound free) of Snow Crab legs. You get to choose the type of spice and intensity. It comes out in an inflated bag that the waitress opens and pours the contents for your enjoyment. The Boil comes with potatoes and corn on the cob. Neither will light your fire--skip those. I did appreciate the hot drawn butter for dipping the Snow Crab! Scissors would have been helpful in extracting the meat of the Crabs. The texture of snow crab is more fibrous and chewy than say lobster, still yummy. We also tried the Fried Fish & Shrimp Basket. The Shrimp were outstanding, fish okay. All in all a pleasurable experience. Kids would probably love this place. read more

Place has bad bugs , bathrooms stink and my glass was not washed properly at all , The manager who is not a manager at all completely tried to avoid this and the whole place needs new staff read more

So fun! good food, gracious waitress. We enjoyed a steam platter with crab, crayfish, and shrimp. The bisque was quite rich and very delicious. Glad there is a place in like it around. read more

Food was pretty good but service was bad. The guy working the front area was mean mugging everyone coming in and leaving. Looking like he hated his job. The waitress was nice but bless her heart she couldn't keep up and it was very slow. When you spend over a $100.00 for dinner you expect good service. And really an overall better experience. Too bad because that was my first time and it would have been awesome had the service been better. read more

The crab Dijour in Roanoke Virginia is a nice place to eat. Seafood decor is nautical themed you choose from you can get a bag meal of the different proteins, crab legs, shrimp scallops so on then then add what type of seasoning you want they will mix it put it all together and bring it out in a Big plastic bag. Service was good. The prices were reasonable. Food was good. read more

The service was bad, the waitress only came around 1 time and the manager Rochelle, was not nice at all. I heard her be rude to customers and say don't come back to the restaurant again. You and your family are not to come back, it was over them not leaving enough money on the tip. To improve the service I think the restaurant really needs a New manager. If you go to this restaurant, ask for Rochelle and ask her about the tip policy. It was an interesting conversation to hear. The food was very spicy. read more

The service was great but the food was way over cooked and over priced for the quality.

Very good fries and extremely delicious salad and wings The servers were very nice and it was quite a nice and unique experience. The crabs were quite garlicky, however not inedible. 4.8/10 would definitely recommend and try again read more

Trying to figure out why the 1800 taste like aristocrat. Probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. The manager was rude upon entry. The host walked us to about four tables before seating us. the only thing that made the experience any kind of the good was the amazing server we had Kim. read more

Got the pick 3 seafood boil special with the crab du jour sauce and a pound of crawfish with cajun sauce. The seasoning was really good and the seafood absorbed the flavor. I enjoyed the food but my only complaint is i wish it was hotter (temperature). i think it got cold fast and it would've tasted much better. the service was really good - loved our waiter. pirate themed restaurant with lots of seating. will def come again! read more

Waited to visit since we heard some negative reviews initially. Very glad we finally came in. This was a wonderful meal, seated immediately at 7:30 on a Friday and service and food was fast. Table of 3 and we could have been done in 30 minutes if we weren't taking our time and being leisurely. Food was hot and delicious. Bartender took great care of us at the tables behind the bar. read more

My sandwich was cold and the rest of the food was unseasoned. The fries were pretty good and the waitress was very nice though.

The wife and I had lunch here today. Food was great and so was the service. Thanks Kathy!!

Ordered the crab meat sticks (french fries with crab meat and yum yum sauce), a Caesar salad, and 2 of the seafood combo boils. The fries were great and plentiful! They were especially crisp and hot. The Cesar salad was HUGE and pretty good - it's salad. The seafood boils were out of this world delicious. Their house special seasoning is top notch and their spice was hot and left my mouth pleasantly tingly. The staff is super friendly and fun to talk to which is a huge plus. I will forgo the salad and crab meat sticks next time so I can fully enjoy the seafood boils! read more

The service was good, but the food was bad. The seafood was very band and tasted dirty. I had the bowl in the front of the picture and I mean really it doesn't look like they were cleaned at all before thrown in the bag. In the back, the crawfish still had dirt in them/ on the outside of them. Wasn't the best. Wasn't worth 80$. Will not go back again. read more

I decided to try this place because I absolutely love the Asheville location definitely my favorite stop for seafood boil! The service was great in Roanoke and I may have gotten more crab. The corn and potatoes were cooked better here. Although the sauce was definitely different from the Asheville location. It was still pretty good we had the garlic butter sauce,which in Asheville seems to have chunks of garlic and some other spices this one was more like butter and garlic powder...still wasn't terrible. Food was cooked well...will go again but may try a different sauce! read more
