(I'll preface this by saying I had a 9am breakfast of 1 cup of scrambled eggs, 1/2 cup of mixed fruit, 2 pieces of fried bacon, maybe 1/2 cup of home fries/breakfast potatoes, and a 12 fl oz can of sugarfree energy drink [200mg of caffeine]; a 12pm snack of some flavor of scone; and water throughout the day. I came here for dinner around 6pm.) I ended up getting sick maybe 5 minutes after finishing my meal. Luckily, the two individuals with me did not experience any issues despite being the ones with gastrointestinal health issues. The employees were all very nice and attentive. Service was quick. Dining area and bathrooms looked clean. Bathroom stalls are very small though. The doors open inwards which leaves a couple inches of clearance between the door and the toilet. Trying to keep my clothes from touching the walls or the toilet was a task. My group got the blue crab special in lemon pepper, boiled scallops in garlic butter, and cheesecake. Also, only had water with lemon for beverages. The food was okay to good. A lot of the other reviewers mentioned it, but the crab meat is pretty paltry. The shrimp, sausage, egg, and potato tasted good to me. Heard no complaints about the corn or the other egg and potato from the friend that ate them. They loved the cheesecake; thought it was delicious. I did not try it as I was starting to feel the beginnings of the sick around the time the cheesecake was brought out. read more

Service was awesome on a busy Friday night. Our 5 year old great granddaughter tried seafood for the first time and loved it. She wasn't hungry but she put away a lot of shrimp and crab. read more

Pretty nice restaurant food needs more season to be considered spicy but otherwise a decent experience

The food was pretty good! Most places I've been the snow crab legs are smaller and around the same price, but this place it was big and pretty meaty. There was a smell that was pretty strong after getting our food the smell went away. Our waiter took our food and served in less time than we expected, we did come as they opened so no line. read more

food was great but our waiters was very rude. the atmosphere was normal. however because of bad service it wasn't very enjoyable and our group felt like a burden. read more

Best thing about this place was the service. She was very attention and friendly. King crab had good flavor but was definitely over cooked and some of the meat was hard. Also the smell of the place kinds turned my stomach. I know it's a seafood place but as a floridian I've never been to a place that smelt like that. read more

We were so excited to eat here, however as a family of 6, 4 of which are kids under the age of 10 we were informed because of our party size we would automatically be charged 20% gratuity, but the manager could waive that since 4 of our party were kids. As the hostess arrived we asked to speak to the manager and our waitress was very rude about our request, as she walked away she said "it's just a tip but whatever", needless to say we decided to leave. We tip generously and always recognize the hard work of our servers, but attitudes like that do not deserve automatic tips. read more

Food was amazing, ambiance was great, and the service was second to none. The server was quick, friendly, professional, great sense of humor, and an absolute pleasure. I'd go back for the food, but what really draws me back is the server. She was amazing. read more

The food was cold and incorrect. And when I called to talk with the manager, he was very rude and did not want to fix the order.

And that's 3 stars for the wonderful waitress we had. Very sweet and attentive, so come here for great service, but go elsewhere for good food. The entrees just are not up to the price point. Sorry, tasted like fast food on steroids. read more

The food is amazing, the customer service was great, and the place was clean and nice. I would recommen.

A little on the spendy side, but the food was good quality. The take out option was available, I just wish I had remembered crab crackers.

Food was fantastic very good atmosphere the service was very good and welcoming tables were big enough and good elbow room By far the best crab place I've eaten at so far will definitely be coming back in the near future and the music was perfect good jams while cracking crab legs read more

The food was good and the spice level was perfect. Service was average. I recommend. Will be back.

Been here 3 times now and I absolutely love this seafood restaurant! Very quick service. I usually get a pound of crawfish and a pound of shrimp with heads attached. Prices are pretty reasonable and they give you a ton of potatoes & sausages. I love the sausages here. Will be back! read more

Another one of those spots that catches your eye from the street and finally one day you stop in. I went to a place like this in upstate NY that I wasn't too pleased with, so I was a bit skeptical. To start, the service was lacking. A delay to be seated in a practically empty spot, long wait to request drinks and a non-existent server for pretty much the whole meal. We spent a lot of time looking around for the server for a drink refill, instead of focusing on our meals. So as for the meal, I asked if it was possible to substitute the shrimp for the crawfish. She said it shouldn't be a problem and would probably be cheaper than the shrimp. No big fuss over a few dollars but I would've appreciated if the server told me that it couldn't be supplemented, instead of just adding it as a additional item. That type of lackluster customer care is a pet peeve of mine. The food was good and not terribly priced compared to the spot I went to in NY. Probably my last time but I'd still recommend. read more

The flavor just isn't there. I don't really have a whole lot else to say. I could tell that the seafood was previously frozen because it has that taste and texture we all love so much from frozen seafood. I pick up a lot of DoorDash orders from here so I had to try it. I will say that the seasoning they use is delicious. John Seafood right down the street is a little more expensive but I'll just pay the difference next time :) read more

A lot of food. If you have a large party they have the room. Scallops were excellent and the steamed shrimp fantastic. We had a great food experience. Not on the water so no beach atmosphere. read more

I'm so sad I didn't take photos of the dinner before we ate it. We got the special, the 1/2# shrimp, 1/2# king crab, 1/2# regular crab. Regular spice and buttered garlic. Comes in a large bag with potatoes and corn. My husband and I shared it and it was a perfect portion for two. I would definitely get it again if we are down this way again. read more

Absolutely delicious! Our entire table enjoyed it! So glad we ate here! The shrimp boil was delicious and the Key Lime Pie divine

Service was fast, plenty of seating and parking. Table was sticky and dirty but guess that happens with boils here and there. All of the crab was cooking well done or overcooked but the seasoning helped. I would go back. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place the entire week but was not impressed at all. the portions are small :/ got the snow crab & whole shrimp combo, it says half pound of each but there was like only 9 shrimps LOL. idk if the 2 tiny potato and tiny single piece of corn counted towards the pounds but smh. we got medium spicy and it was not spicy at all literally at this point forgot we even ordered medium spice. 3 stars though because the host, server & busser were extremely nice!!! read more

Cracking Crab - A. Snow Crab and Headless Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

I really like this place but i always seem to have an issue when I request the head on shrimp. I always seem to get the headless which I know is a special and is probably more popular. The last time I came this was a bigger issue because the server made me feel really uncomfortable and basically blamed me. I know what I ordered and I also specified and had been craving the head on shrimp. To be accused and blamed for getting the incorrect order was a pretty annoying situation but of course I took the incorrect order anyways. Now I know for next time to triple check that it is head on shrimp . read more

The customer service was on point. We ordered our drinks, she came back with the drinks and took our order. We waited about ten minutes. The tilapia was HOT (temperature) and fresh. Seasoned just right! The atmosphere was chill, family friendly. Samantha, our server, was excellent! We will definitely be going back!!! read more

My first time trying crawlfish, so I gave it a go. They tasted a little gamey personally but with the first time trying them, I'd need to try them again. Overall the food was good. We are from the North and we steam everything so the boil is a bit of a different taste from what we are used to, but again, our food was good. read more
