    Crab and shrimp Alfredo potato! Yummy!!
    Angela S.

    Some of the best food in the City! Located on 7 mile just east of Evergreen with limited street parking. Once you enter you notice the smallness of the place with booths lining the right side and a cooking area secure by plexiglass on the left of a narrow walkway. I usually carry out but have also eaten in. You are immediately greeted by a smiling face and friendly voice that is eager to take your order. The menu choices are CRAZY GOOD from barbecue ribs and chicken (the real kind), to charbroiled lamb chops and steak, to crab legs and shrimp! There are many southern favorites for those who are craving some good soul food. All served with their special recipe garlic potatoes on the side. Not to mention my absolute favorite - the Alfredo potato. This bit of heaven can be topped with seafood, chicken or steak (or any combo of these including all 3) to create the most amazing goodness. My pick is crab and shrimp! And you can top it all off with a nice big glass of Koolaid. If you want some great tasting food that is made fresh to order, then the Crab House is the place.

    I was treated here for my birthday. I highly enjoyed the food, but the service was just ok. It wasn't a full boil but satisfied my craving! I'd probably go back for another round in the hopes of good food & good service.

    Love this place. Always an easy fix to my crab cravings. Everything is seasoned well and very filling. Hard getting them on the phone sometimes for carry out orders, but once the order is placed they get the food out in a timely amount of time which is great. These are pretty decent sized crab legs too! You get a good amount for the price you pay here. Can't wait for another late night crab craving.

    Crab and shrimp Alfredo potatoes with Texas toast and baked and fried tilapia

    Best food I've had in a LONG time . Recommended by a friend - me and my two best girl friends (one pregnant ) went here Saturday early afternoon to fill my girls crab craving . It was our first time. After walking in we were told where to go to the back to dine in.... such a great little area nice new and clean .... not what you would expect from the outside appearance . We all ordered the Alfredo potatoes with crab and shrimp and got various sides as well as both baked and fried tilapia and kool aid ! It was seriously amazing and portions were great : we had absolutely no complaints. Service was great and friendly . Can't wait to go back.

    The menu is extensive

    Diamond in the rough. This place was a pleasant surprise so please check it out for yourself. When you enter it looks like a standard Mom & Pop where you get takeout or can sit in limited booth style seating. A nice woman greeted us and asked if we were dining in. When we said yes she told us to go through the doorway and sit anywhere we'd like. The other side of the restaurant was very nice. Spacious, mirrors, large tables and a tv. We sad down and looked over the extensive menu. The young lady was nice and explained the best values for the food we wanted. The food was delicious. I had grilled tilapia, shrimp, baked potato and corn on the cob. The potato could have been cooked a bit longer but it was seasoned to perfection so I ate every bit of it. The price was right. 3 of us ate for $51 and we had great portions. I will definitely be back to try other dishes.

    Food was DELICIOUS!! Ok! The restaurant needs some serious updates/ remodeling (Very church basementy) but the food was good. I'd go back

    This place received an extra star because the manager, she was the one who took my order and she was super nice and she kept the line moving. FOOD I ordered the half pound of grilled shrimp dinner. I got 8 shrimp total. The shrimp was ALMOST done, not totally. My main issue with the food was they smothered all the food in the same seasoning it taste like some kind of creole seasoning but they call it garlic. They put it on the bake potatoes, the egg, the shrimp, and the corn. I hated this "garlic" seasoning it was spicy and funny tasting. I don't think I will be going here again. Restaurant The outside looks much better than the inside. The interior is one semi long shack , with booths on one side and a long bulletproof glass counter on the other side with a thin strip to walk between the two. The glass needs cleaning ASAP. Credit card/debt card If you use plastic you got to show your I'd Extra prices This is one of those places were they charge you extra for everything. The girl in front of me wanted some butter it was .50 extra. My meal came with potatoes and corn. I asked can i swap the potatoes for Mac and cheese that's $1.50 extra.

    32oz of Kool-Aid.

    The adventure started outside when we decided to circle the block because there were 2 pit bulls running loose with no owner in sight. It had nothing to do with the restaurant but be alert. As I entered the establishment someone behind the bulletproof glass shouted, "Eating here or carry out?" Since my sister and I were dining in we were instructed towards the glass door straight down and and told to turn right. This is where the dining area is and it wasn't bad. There was one other patron eating and they have a TV on the wall. Our waitress was nice and quite courteous. She explained the menu and the process they use to smoke the chicken and ribs and went on to explain the soft drink choices, including the Kool-Aid selection. Nice!!!! My sister couldn't resist. I wanted some seafood but after listening to the waitress I had to try the Ribs and Chicken combo. My sister decided to get the same. I upgraded to a side of greens and she upgraded to both the greens and macaroni and cheese which was a dollar extra for each item. Our meal arrived rather quickly. It was room temperature at best which was a bit scary and quite disappointing since we were eating pork. Although both the ribs and chicken had a good flavor I was still bothered that it wasn't hot. (I know you are thinking I should've sent it back but I'm leery about doing that). The greens were bland but my sister's Mac and cheese tasted good. As I was finishing my meal I lifted up my bowl of greens from my plate and underneath the bowl on my plate was a long, black, wet hair. I immediately stopped chewing but my sister might have been more disgusted. She stopped eating too. I informed the waitress and she took my plate immediately. She brought my bill and informed me I received a discount. It was a measly $2.50. Our meals were $16.99 each before the upgrades. So yes this place is quite expensive for what you receive They had a chance to rectify my issue but they blew it. They obviously didn't care. Needless to say, I won't be back.

    Seasoned Delightfully! Sucking on the flavor off the crab shell.

    Always get the garlic rib tips along with the house sides. Great combination. Definitely can't go wrong with the Salmon salad as well.

    This was my first time eating inside of slows. Our server was incredibly kind and patient. She…read moredidn't rush us at all and had great suggestions. I got the deuces, which is two meats, two sides, and bread and pickles for $19. The pulled pork was great, the mashed sweet potato's and baked beans were phenomenal. I would go back just for the sides! The reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5, the chicken thigh was OK. The deuces allows you to pick two types of meat, but there's a $5 upcharge for brisket & ribs aren't available so you can only choose between pork, chicken thigh, or vegetarian bbq at that price.. hence why I got the chicken thigh.

    I'm really disappointed with this experience. I ordered at the bar and when I got home, I realized…read moremy vegetarian sandwiches were made with pork. I called right away, and instead of offering a refund or a simple fix, they required me to drive back and return the incorrect sandwiches before they would remake them. That meant finding parking again and waiting while the new order was prepared. By the time I finally got home, all of the food was cold and hard. On top of that, the vegetarian "mock meat" had a strange spoiled taste. Mind you we regularly eat this exact meal. Overall, it was a frustrating process and the food quality did not make up for the inconvenience. I wouldn't order again based on this experience.

    Delray BBQ - What a wonderful surprise!…read more It has been a long time since my last visit downtown and I was craving Motz sliders, but as I got closer, I saw that Motz had closed early. Damn! Then I noticed the Delray BBQ trailer in the parking lot. WTH? I was in a hurry and looking for something quick and they were here, and I was here. They had BBQ. I had money. Sure, why not ... The menu yesterday was considerably limited to what is posted here: - pulled pork - pulled chicken - rib tips - selection of desserts $12 is a rather high price point for chicken and pork sandwiches from a food trailer, but the clock was ticking and what the heck ... I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich. The chicken was wonderful; cooked well done, but not over cooked, not dry and not sauced. The portion was very generous and cascaded far off the bun. The bun; I forgot to ask which bakery makes that wonderful bun. I will admit to being worried that only one sauce was available. It is a thin sauce that flows easily. A bit sweet and a hint of tang (acid). The order included a small scoop of Mac & Cheese. It is of the firm variety, my favorite. Not creamy, nor a gelatinous glob. If they put a bit of bacon or lobster in it, I would order it for a meal. I also order a small cup of the coleslaw ($1) and added it to the sandwich. A nice complement of texture for the sandwich. It is wet, not creamy - fine by me. The two guys working the food trailer are friendly and helpful. After finishing my lunch I inquired about wet-naps to clean my fingers and they provided. The limited menu was the only disappointment. I would have loved a combination plate of the usual suspects found at a BBQ joint. The limited menu was aimed at SW Detroit lunch crowd. The full menu is available at other venues - check Facebook, their webpage or call.
