    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.

    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.

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

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

    Craving soul food after a funeral and thought of past food from Mookey's. Rib tip dinner was pricey…read moreat $25 for what was provided. Originally I had 6 pieces of meat in the meal but I thankfully checked my bag as directed to on the signs. I inquired and the container was filled with what I should have gotten as a dinner. Maybe the staff member was new that initial did my order. They were polite. More than 1/2 was tough, some even so much not edible. Disappointing because I really wanted some rib tips. The cornbread was dry and crumbly. Cornbread is not difficult or long cooking so I'm not sure why I'd get old cornbread midday on a Saturday. Or they need to retool the recipe. In my head, I would think that portions would be sampled by the cook to ensure consistency, but I've never worked in a fast past restaurant so I don't know the process. Sides: dressing was good and not overly salty. Yams had too much sugar for me. I bought another meal for someone to eat and I hope it was better. A 1/2 chicken meal was $20. Overall, not with the $25+ tax I paid today. The staff was pleasant. The area was kept clean. However, the meat was a failure. I would be fine paying $25 of the meat was cooked correctly. I would not recommend going here for bbq as they have a not cash return policy. It is store credit or a gift card even if the food is poorly made. Likely need to go to a bbq specific restaurant next time. I have no plans on driving way back to the restaurant and just count it as a loss. The prices are equivalent to sit down restaurants without the service or quality.

We arrived shortly after they opened. There was almost no one there when we arrived. It was the most unorganized mess of an experience I've ever had. No joke. We ordered 2 drinks and the Aretha Franklin Chicken, 2 sides, and cornbread. We were told it would be 20-30 minutes until the chicken was ready. No problem. After 30 minutes we still didn't have our drinks, but the waitress reappeared to tell us our drinks would be out soon and the chicken would be ready in about 20 minutes. In the end, it took about 40 minutes to get our drinks and 1 1/2 hours to get our chicken. Even paying the bill took lots of effort. There were multiple customers who went inside to try to find the waitress and pay their bill. After 20 minutes of searching we were finally able to pay and leave. I'm all in for a not-rushed experience, but there's no reason to leave people baking in the sun for 40 minutes before you can bring them their drinks. We should have left, but we were locked in to discover if the chicken was as good as promised. The answer is no, unfortunately. It was fine. Very tender, but seemingly no seasoning at all. Also, they were out of cornbread and didn't have the ingredients to make our drinks the right way. The entertainment was good. We were outside, so there was a one man band blues singer who was pretty good. I hope Bert's can get it together. It's a great concept and a great location. If you go, have plenty of time and be prepared to wait. Perhaps you should bring a few drinks and snacks with you to fill the time until they can serve you.

Lots of small mom and pops around but we chose this one because they had a review already and were open. Menu looks very good. I got the smothered Pork chops , mac n cheese and collards. My son got fried catfish mac n cheese and loaded mash potatoes with cornbread. We decided to splurge and got peach cobbler and banana pudding, our total bill was $50. Seems like a lot but hey we are in Michigan ‍ and wth, Im cravin soul so its's worth it. I'm posting pictures below. I've got to tell you I mean this is some of the best stuff I have ever had. It just brought back memories for me. I devoured one of the pork chops, about a third of my macaroni and cheese and half of my collards and I was stuffed , I took a bite of the both desserts. They were very good. The peach cobbler was not served warm which is fine cause we can always take it back and heat it up and put a dollop of ice cream on it but just to let you know in case you wanna ask them to heat it up. But oh my God it's so good. I will go back there in a heartbeat! Thank you ladies for reminding me of my roots.
