Food so good it has me leaving a review. They know how to season the food! Great energy and service.

Visited for the first time tonight with my family of 8. It's located in a strip mall so parking isn't bad. The atmosphere felt almost like a club when you first walk in. We were warmly greeted and seated. Our waitress was friendly from start to finish. She could've visited more frequently, but she was very nice. We got 4 apps, 2 seafood platters, and 2 entrees. We had plenty of food! The seafood platters were outstanding! They are the same as a crab pot or crab boil, but seasoned much better. One of the best I've ever had. We finished with a complimentary cheesecake for my daughter's birthday so that was fun. The tab came to $385 after tax and tip for 8 of us. We will definitely return! read more

I've never had a bad experience coming here. The seafood always fresh sauces to die for‍. Now I have to give it to the server Moe she's so sweet, very respectful and so helpful! I come every weeks and she's always here with a smile . read more

The food here was great and not too expensive.bathroom easy to find, staff great! Reason 4 stars was because it smelled like fish..but it is a fish place right!!!! read more

I was pleasantly surprised at the experience here! The food was amazing. There are not many seafood boil restaurants around Clayton, we went to one near the outlets awhile back and it was terrible. Clayton Seafood House is fantastic! They have a pirate theme decor, the prices are reasonable and flavors are a dream They do daily specials with the boils and you can anything else you like from the menu. They let you choose seasoning and spice level. We had the Cajun mild and it was perfect. I love spicy, so next time I'm Going all in. We also ordered the grilled oysters which were seasoned in Cajun and garlic butter. Very good as well. Service was a little slow, but that's OK. We weren't in a rush and were celebrating a birthday. read more

Officially my new favorite seafood spot! I love ordering the seafood boil bag and being able to customize exactly what I want inside. The calamari is also delicious. The staff is always friendly and incredibly helpful, especially when I called with questions about placing an online order for the Small Catch. Great food and great service every time. read more

The good: The shrimp were large. There portions were large. The service was fast. The bad: Ordered two appetizers--the Calamari and coconut shrimp. They gave us an Asian eggroll sauce for dipping. No pinata colada sauce for the coconut shrimp or spicy mayo for the Calamari. No salt and pepper. The ugly: Dark and no atmosphere. Wait staff barely spoke English. Sorry. If I ask for a different sauce and you don't even know what I'm saying and can't answer me, that's unacceptable. Too much money spebt $150.00) for this. read more

Thought the food and serve were good. They got the food to us quickly and it was as order. I think we'll go back to order thr poor boy with oysters instead of crab. read more

Great carry out service, great food quality and price is just unreal, I love seafood and I can tell this is the best place around.

Yesterday was the first time visiting this restaurant in Clayton and right off the bat when I walked in it gave me a night club feel (which I know sounds ridiculous) but that's how i immediately felt with the lighting and the music they were playing so I was little drawn off by that. When sat down the tables were clean chairs were clean! Bathrooms were clean and functioning! I know especially at seafood broil restaurants things can be sticky and gross. So I was very impressed with the overall cleanliness! Last the service and the food was phenomenal!! I've ate at plenty of seafood broil type restaurants and this one is a solid option! I highly recommend it and I will personally will be going back!! read more

If you're a fan of seafood steam bags, Crab Seafood House is one spot you absolutely don't want to miss. This place is a hidden gem that delivers every single time. The seasoning mix? Easily the best I've had--rich, bold, and downright addictive. I always go for the house special (minus the Old Bay), and it hits perfectly every time. The seafood is consistently fresh, perfectly cooked, and drenched in that buttery, well-balanced seasoning that sets them apart. And don't even think about skipping the soups. Their lobster bisque is next-level--creamy, packed with flavor, and just the right amount of decadence. Pro tip: Order a side of white rice with your steam bag. When you're done, mix the rice into that leftover buttery goodness at the bottom of the bag. It's a total flavor bomb--and honestly, it might be my favorite part of the meal. Whether you're a seasoned seafood lover or just diving in, Crab Seafood House is a must-visit. Just be warned--you'll be craving it again before you even leave the parking lot. read more

A year or so later and the food is still good! Service is great, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the ambiance is nice. You won't be disappointed! We came on a Saturday, which you can get any daily special...not limited to Saturday's special. Hubby ordered his usual pick two fried basket and it was plentiful! I did order the Saturday special which was enough for me to share with my youngest. Don't forget to sign up for their rewards, as you get points to free stuff! read more

Ordered fried grouper, shrimp & fries to go. Food was good. I will return to try their seafood boils.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GO HERE! I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt 2x. I only ever order take out so I can't comment on the service but there have been two occasions where my shrimp tasted old, the meat tasted gritty like they reused old meat or maybe froze it multiple times. The second time it tasted like that again which is confusing because when I first tried there place I order shrimp and crab and never had an issue before, this is why I tried to give them a 3rd chance. I ordered some mussel just to try something else and guess what happen these mofos gave me FOOD POISONING their food is not fresh at all they reusing meat and giving us expired food too. Unacceptable I'm still recovering from this 4 days later. I'm disgusted. read more

Crab Seafood House has an unparalleled and quite amusing ambiance. The shrimp pasta with their house sauce is elite and an amazing price. The crab balls pack a real wow factor between the amount of crab meat and the surprisingly delicious sweet and sour-like sauce they come with. The catfish is also pretty good, with a decently crispy batter. Only thing so far that I'm not sure about it their crab po-boy sandwich. This was composed of mystery fish flakes that I'm not very confident in. Don't let that discourage you though from trying all their other great foods! read more

Hidden gem in Clayton! We were greeted as soon as we walked in and immediately seated. The restaurant nicely decorated and has plenty of tvs for entertainment as you eat. Service was by far one of my favorite things, our server constantly came by and asked if everything was okay and would bring us refills. She even brought us scissors for the crab! Everything here is affordable and delicious. The medium spice level was a perfect combination with the crab. The flavors were amazing from the crab and shrimp down to the corn and sausages. This was my first time here and I can definitely say I'll go back! read more

This is probably the tastiest boil I've ever had, it was extremely flavorful, and we did not leave disappointed. I came here with my best friend for dinner. We both ordered the house special (all the spices) a pound of shrimp each, potatoes, and corn. I was excited to see they also offered rice as a side. The service was quick and speedy. When we were leaving, the table behind us asked to speak with the manager to compliment their server. Our server was great as well, however it was hard to find her when we needed something. There were other servers around, however they were busy, as there was a company party going on towards the back, along with three other tables with large parties, that were celebrating birthdays. There was enough to take home, and I look forward to coming back with my family. read more

Located next to the Walmart plaza in Clayton with plenty of parking. The restaurant was spacious and clean when we visited. The menu and prices are on par with other crab houses. Our waiter was super friendly and our food came out quickly. Everything was delicious! They weren't too busy at all and we had leftovers to bring home. Our waiter put our left overs in a second bag to keep it clean and then a shopping bag. We will definitely be back. read more

Had lunch here and everything is fried. The service and atmosphere is great. If you like fried food this might be your place. Just not my cup of tea. read more

Service was quick, the ambiance was like a pirate ship which I wasn't a fan of. Now for the food, the oysters were just plain bad, like I never had any that were so gross. I had a boil bag which was decent but still a bit bland in my opinion. My dad had the fried catfish which he said was good. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place all things considered. Mediocre food and so so drinks. read more

My husband and I love Crab Seafood House. Good food, good service and good seafood ambiance.

This is actually one of the better seafood houses that I've had! The fried calamari are big and fried to perfection! The seafood bags are plentiful... best part-not too salty!!!!! The drinks from the bar were good...got the job done. The service was pleasant. Would surely recommend. read more

I haven't had a seafood boil in about 3 years so when my aunt suggested this place for my grandmother's birthday, I was all in. Not only was the place nicely decorated and the waitstaff (Olivia) was great, but the food was BOMB! I didn't get any pictures, unfortunately, dealing with two toddlers (did I mention, Olivia brought out scissors for my baby's chicken tenders to cut) but I got the seafood boil with crab legs, lobster, sausage and egg in the mild house sauce and it was so good. I can't rave enough. My whole family got variations of the seafood boil and no one was talking by the time the food came out. Everything was delicious and I will definitely come back. read more

Food was good. Sam was a very attentive and friendly server. My family and I will return.

Food was delicious. We ordered two combos, one in garlic sauce with green mussels, black mussels, and shrimp. And the other in a spicy sauce with crawfish, shrimp and crab legs. The server was very attentive and delivered our food right away to the table. A nice atmosphere and great music playing in the background, it was not to crowded. We arrived around 2:15 PM. read more

My sister and I just left. We arrived around 6:15 pm. We were immediately guided to a table. However,we sat there until 6:30 and not one waiter or waitress came to our table. People at the table behind us sat down after us, and a waitress immediately took their order. The restaurant was too busy after being ignored. We walked out. I've heard mixed reviews about their food and wanted to give them a chance... read more

My husband, son and I ate at the Crab Seafood House in Clayton on a Sunday afternoon May 2025 and the food was wonderful! I had a two item catfish and shrimp basket, my son had the larger crab boil thing and my husband had a flounder and shrimp basket. The shrimp were some of the best I've ever had and I know you may think french fries are all the same but honestly, we all commented that these were the best fries we've ever had and they were. I don't know if they were beer battered or what but I can't wait to go back there and do this again! Plus the guy that waited our table was very attentive too. read more
