    House Special Combo
    Camelia W.

    Crabby Crabby has some very flavorful food at very reasonable prices. Babygirl and I caught their Happy Hour specials offered from 12-3. We ordered Combo #6 garlic noodles with 1/2 lb head-on shrimp, their house special combo, and a side of rice The service was great, I believe the gentleman that helped babygirl and I said his name was Juan. He appeared to be in his mid 20's, dark hair, and wore glasses. He was very attentive and on point. I loved all of the decor, especially all of the license plates from all over the Nation.

    This is one of the most festive and decorative restuarant around. Their decor is very fun and inviting! Lots of ocean, crab, sea theme, and futbol decor! The time I am writing this review, world cup is happening. My friends and I came here to hang, eat, and got to watch down futbol. One set of besties for a seafood combo bag of mussles and crabs in the classic Cajun sauce/garlic butter/and lemon pepper. My friends loved the spice level, they got medium but it more on the mild side. The Cajun fries were very crispy and perfectly done. Honestly, there's something here for everyone! We came on a Tuesday so some friends got tacos and calamari which they also loved. I got a mini quesadilla, a salad, Cajun sauces corn ans omg soooooo good. Service was outstanding! I love you get bibs because I know I make a mess lol.

    I have to thank my food critic and friend RITA for recommending this place to me and treating me to a great lunch. Before we begin, this is place is not for non-crabby at heart"! Lol Nestled right off the DUMBARTON BRIDGE in Newark lies this great crab and fish casual restaurant. Mexican and Cajun specialties are highlighted. I must say I was pleasantly shocked. I had the Jumbo Coconut Prawns and they were excellent. You have to take a look at the wide array of seafood that this place has and what you get when you order the full meal, amazing. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you Rita for the recommend and thank you Crabby Crabby for the excellent cooking and service.

    My parents and I decided to go to Crabby Crabby. This is unique because they not only serve seafood but also Mexican food. I basically scrolled through the menu and they have Mexican items. They also do Taco Tuesdays. Haven't had seafood boil for a while and I love to revisit to consume them. Food is really good there especially sausages and crabs. I also had Cajun fries and they're really on point with the seasoning. Crab is really hard to cut especially with the tool to cut it since I'm not really familiar with how to use it. Quite pointy though which made me have to constantly strategize on how to cut it until my dad showed me how. We mainly came here for the seafood boil but perhaps, I should try one of their Mexican dishes as well as fried foods that come with fries.

    Garlic Fries
    Allen W.

    Made a reservation for a saturday night but walk in would have been fine - there were customers for sure but no wait at all. The service was great, they came by to check in, took follow up orders as well. The combo itself did take a hot second to come out, but it was piping hot when it did. My favorite was the shrimp, followed by crawfish, followed by lobster tail. The lobster was not tender. Garlic fries came out hot also, with LOTS of garlic on top (note: garlic not that cooked, so it had a bite, which I personally liked, but was unexpected). Overall the ambiance was good. They had many TVs up for sports showings. I love the form factor of seafood boil where you can get a little messy with it.

    Cajun Fries

    10/10 find! I didn't realize Crabby Crabby was more than just a seafood boil spot, but was surprised to find out they also offer Mexican food. Pretty unique combo. We came in around 7:30 pm and it wasn't packed at all. We were seated right away and had our order taken quickly. We ordered 2 lb head-on shrimp with sausages, 1 lb crawfish with potatoes, and a side of Cajun fries. For both the shrimp and crawfish, we chose the Crabby Crabby mix (original Cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic butter) with mild spice. Everything tasted SO good. The sauce was not overly buttery or oily and tasted even better with the lemon juice. The Cajun fries were perfectly crunchy and even better when dipped in the Crabby Crabby sauce. Would recommend to friends and definitely saved in my collections as a go-to seafood boil spot!

    Super Nachos with shrimp

    This is an update of my previous review. They've nailed with the extended Mexican menu. But, everything else was lackluster. Service was okay at best and I'm a little surprised they couldn't substitute the carne asada in the Cajun burrito for another meat. It was pretty packed so they're definitely doing something right but I still think there's room for improvement.

    Combo #2 goodness!
    Sunshine R.

    My friends and I did a little detour to eat at Crabby Crabby and not that was a good decision! We had the combo deal #2 and it was amazing! Everything was fresh and so tasty! It was my son's first time eating a seafood boil and I've never seen him eat as much as he did! We all left talking about how great the potatoes, sausages, corn and all the seafood was! I highly recommend this place if you're looking to satisfy your seafood cravings! 10/10 for me!

    Special 5 dollar michelada
    Lucy V.

    First time being at crabby crabby The staff was welcoming. Sat me down quick took my drink order. Brought drink order fast. The michelada was very tasty was not too salty gray flavor and not too think of the tomato juice. We ordered. Half crab and half shrimp. Because it was only two of us. We tried all three sauces together non spicy for my daughter. I loved the flavor. The only thing was it was too oily. Not sure if that is a normal thing in this type of foods. I haven't been to these type of restaurant for a while. Don't remember if need too much oils on them. Garlic noodles was my Favorite. Anything with garlic I loved. Good flavor and can taste the garlic

    Combo 3

    Finally decided to try this spot and was impressed. The service was quick and staff were attentive to our needs. The quality of the seafood is also good- additional $2 for fresh crawfish but I didn't mind. We got the crabby crabby medium and it was the perfect spice. This isn't your typical seafood boil spot, she does have that Latin taste to it, and it was delicious. We came right before the dinner rush and the inside of the restaurant was very clean. I forgot to take a before pic, but here's the after!

    Louisiana boil and Mexican food is quite a combination but makes Crabby Crabby a hit lunch spot for those in the area or perhaps a feast of a dinner for those looking to celebrate by dining and drinking with the local sports game playing. Situated in a bustling local shopping center equipped with a grocery store, gym, gas station and other eateries as well as neighboring two other fully serviceable shopping centers, Crabby Crabby is crowded out yet stays relevant as the only seafood boil within a few mile radius. Given its proximity to the highway and bridge entrance/exit, this location is prime for commuters and can get a bit hectic during rush hour. But if you're coming off for a lunch break, you're in for a treat with their lunch special combos - one whole pound of seafood with the classic fixings of corn, sausage, and potatoes for less than $15! As you venture into the spacious parking lot and park in the seldomly taken spots in front of the shop, you'll encounter their wall of signs promoting their specials and deals. Taco Tuesdays are available here (2 bucks a taco), 49er game days are also a time to get BOGO bottle beers, and happy hour (5-7 pm) means half price draft beers. Whatever day and time you decide to come in, you can take advantage of the deal and fill up at a fraction of the normal price. The place is pretty spacious and has a few booths and large tables for medium to large parties. It's not a proper boil without the village (but of course it's perfectly fine to come as a village of one - you just better have the stomach to eat all that food)! As we were seated, the staff asked us for drink orders and handed out menus for us to peruse. The menu is pretty extensive as it encompasses a variety of seafood sold at market price, fried appetizers to soak up alcohol and for guilty indulgences, delicious hot entrees to accompany the shellfish and crustaceans, and Mexican cuisine classics. We came in specifically for their lunch special which itself has a few options allowing you to mix and match a half pound of shrimp with other seafood like mussels, scallops, crawfish or clams as well as other staples like garlic noodles and fries. As a party of three, we got three different lunch combos to get a taste of their mollusks. For each boil, you'll have the option to select your mix of spices/flavors and your level of heat/spice. For flavors, you'll have the option among Cajun, garlic butter, lemon pepper or a mix of all three, which they've coined the "Crabby Crabby" mix. As a first timer, go with their signature mix! And as for spice level, you'll be able to go non-spicy, mild, medium, or hot. As heat novices, we opted for the mild and it was the perfect level for us. Upon placing our order, the staff passed out some limes and containers of salt and black pepper to be used to supplement our seafood catch. In addition, they handed out a bib and a pair of gloves per person. It was a fun experience in itself to don the getup, but it definitely was appreciated as we dove into the food with no remorse, completely protected from the splatter of sauces everywhere. It took just a bit of time for the boils to come out in plastic bags, smothered in the seasoning and spices. The seafood was cooked well and the flavors were spread out evenly. The over one pound bags were certainly loaded up and after consuming it all, we were certainly full to the brim. If you do end up needing to take the leftovers to go, they'll help you bag it up. Overall, Crabby Crabby is your local seafood boil offering delicious food at a great value nearly everyday of the week and almost all hours of the day. Its variety of catch is abundant and will certainly satisfy any craving but for those looking for something more terrestrial, they have tacos and burritos filled with some of your favorite beef, pork or chicken fillings. The setting is super casual (you'll appreciate the decorations) so it's likely not a place to host any formal gathering but for any party where it's customary to eat with your hands (finger licking and all), this is the place to be!

    Shrimp Boil

    Everything was delicious, we love coming here! The food always tastes fresh and service is great. Highly recommend the shrimp boil and calamari.

    Great food. I ordered garlic butter sauce and it was delicious even with no heat. The portions are very good and price wise it is very fair. . I came around lunchtime and it was very busy so the wait was long. I had to go to the counter to get to go bags , and they never gave me my water. The place is well kept and the tables were arranged for easy access. The restroom was clean and well stocked. It is much better compared to the ones in San Francisco. I will be back soo

Many in our large party were locals and raved about the place. We ordered the two big seafood platters and coconut shrimp for the table to start. The local person who ordered extra shrimp said they are the best he's ever had. They were good!! Everything on the big platters went! I had a salad and then the salmon and was extremely pleased with my meal. We ordered wine for the table and they were great about refilling the glasses and keeping up on ordered drinks and water refills. Two people ordered the mocktail and loved it. My only constructive criticism would be to keep up on clearing dirty plates. The dirty appetizer plates were still there on the table during dessert. Even with my not-so-subtle trying to hand them to the waiter. I would eat here again.

The Owner/Manager Han reached out almost immediately, apologized for the experience then offered a refund or the opportunity for me to come in person for a Do-over. I really wanted to try the food at its best, appreciated the invite so I decided I would go to the establishment and give it another chance. I'm glad I decided to give them another chance as it was a great experience with customer service & the food was delicious! Good seafood isn't always easy to find, but they have it here. I came a week after I'd first had the food here & was told to reach out to the Manager (Pan) when I arrived. Everyone was really nice/personable here and I was seated immediately. I ordered everything I got the first time (2 shrimp baskets, Fried Okra, The red beans/rice with Turkey, but not the cornbread), and also ordered two more items. In addition to my original order I ordered the chicken strip meal and crab fried fries. The shrimp was fried/seasoned to perfection, The crab fries were hella good, the Okra was fried perfectly, and the Chicken strips were well made. The only item I wasn't a fan of was the Red beans/Rice W/Turkey...there was a strong taste of liquid smoke or some overpowering flavor where I couldn't taste the food well. I ordered an IPA, House Margarita and 2 Expresso martinis. I don't believe the martinis were on the menu, but they made them for me anyways. The Martinis were made with good will, but weren't winners...overall this was a great experience with good food and I would return in person, especially for their bottomless Mimosa brunch. My original order was comped, but I insisted on paying for the additional items/drinks one way or another and did so. I appreciate the offer to let me try any & all things at no additional cost, but the service/effort to make things right was so great here I couldn't let it go unnoticed. Cheers all around for my in person experience here. I will be back for sure.

It's also a halal restaurant so you'll notice this on the menu since they do not offer alcohol or pork items. One of my favorite discoveries of this restaurant is the chicken teriyaki roll. I feel like more restaurants need to offer this! I loved it! Their hibachi is flavorful and meat is tender. You get the same great flavor of a typical hibachi without having the awkwardness of a chef cooking in front of you or wreaking of food smell on your clothes when you go home. This environment is like a typical restaurant where the food comes from a kitchen in the back so it completely eliminates that. Large groups beware - This restaurant is small so and we witnessed a table of 8-10 get separated since they could not seat them together. I'm sure a reservation ahead of time would have helped this situation. Food is really great quality though and we will definitely be back!
