    The second you walk through the door you're greeted, the place was very clean, the decorations were amazing. We got the specialty boil had about 3 1/2 pounds of seafood and it tasted amazing. The flavor was phenomenal. We will definitely go back again.

    I'm mad at myself that I haven't been to Crafty Crab until now! How shocked I was that this local joint packed so much flavor and met all my seafood boil expectations. I was thinking it wouldn't. Upon entering, I waited for a host to come up and see that I walked in. I was seated after a few minutes but the server didn't actually come up to me and take my order until 10-15 minutes later. Knowing that she was late, she came over and apologized for her delay. It was quite a wait but the food made up for it. I ordered 2lbs of crawfish at $12.99/lb and mixed two flavors, cajun and garlic butter. I asked for all corn instead of potato and I have no regrets. I could not get enough of their corn. The end product was amazing and I'll definitely be back for more. Such a gem in Boynton Beach.

    We waited for 30 mins and nobody came ... so we left horrible service but ate here before and it was good so I give a few stars maybe come on a dead night and won't be so bad

    For my seafood boil lovers you will get a kick out of this place. It's a decent amount of food for a reasonable price. On the weekends they have a live DJ later in the night, and happy hour as well. We were able to get a 3 drink special that were half off! The customer service was really good, I had to compliment the waiter on his promptness and attention to detail. The only thing I can say was a con, is the bathroom was pretty dirty and I was not comfortable using it. Try to empty out your bladder before going to this place. Other than that my experience was solid. There is plenty of parking, as this spot is located in a Publix shopping plaza.

    I've ordered from crafty crab via Uber eats and DoorDash over the past year or so, and I never went to a restaurant until last month. I've never had an issue when I ordered online-- my food was always delicious. So I was excited to visit a location in person finally. I ordered takeout with Jenny on a weekday evening night. She was so pleasant, helpful, and charismatic. I ordered bbq wings & french fries and shrimp with french fries. My meals were delicious, and I look forward to dining in Crafty Cab soon!

    We had an enjoyable meal and dining experience. The service is great and atmosphere is nice. I love all the decor. The crab boil bag was full of flavor! I'm sure we will be back to try some more items off the menu.

    Hair on snow crabs

    Ordered from uber eats. Food looked amazing and once I was about to eat I saw there was hair around my snow crabs. That is absolutely disgusting. Food went right in the trash. If I could give 0 stars I would.

    We have been wanting to try a nearby crab house & get a seafood boil for a while. We drove by Crafty Crab not too long ago & after checking them out online we decided to give them a shot. We went in with limited expectations & left very pleased. Our server was great. She took the time to walk us through the menu. After listening to what we wanted, she suggested a terrific seafood platter. We were able to specify the sauce we wanted along with the level of heat. You can also select the different items you want and they will make you a custom boil too. Everything was so good. They have this down to a science & provide you with all the tools you need. The table is covered with paper and they provide a roll of paper towels on the table + a bucket for shells and trash. The place was comfortable inside however my only complaint was they sat everybody right on top of each other even though there was plenty of room to spread out. Regardless, we will definitely be back as the food was really good & we enjoyed it.

    Not necessary, but if you haven't had it, and your saucy like me.. GET IT!

    This place is not cheap so 4 stars for the price, it is a bit in the expensive side and because prices are rising, many locations differ so call in or check online if your tight on the cash. Nonetheless, this spot is absolutely amazing, my personal favorite and the service is outstanding. Personally one waiter who stood out the most is Naelle, come check her out and support your waiters too! She was extraordinarily nice and great customer service! Made sure to check in frequently and that the food was on point, which it was! Thank you Naelle and crafty crab for the wonderful experience and the delicious food. This is a must try spot if you haven't tried seafood with a kick of flavor, I highly recommend Boom Mix, your welcome! FYI : Pick ups are also a perfect to-go option ALWAYS fresh and just as delicious as going inside everytime I make a to-go order as well.

    When you get a craving for a good seafood boil, Crafty Crab is the place to go. We came across Crafty Crab on a recent hunt for Ice-cream. Once you enter this corner spot off Congress and Boynton Beach Blvd, you are greeted by a Giant Crab -- makes for a fun photo spot. And since we are talking about interiors, this restaurant has casual ambiance vibes, but is decked out in fishing/nautical/seafood decorations. Food: my husband and I shared a 1 lb steamed Crab & Shrimp seafood boil bag and added 2 lobster tails. This was enough food for us along with our 7 year old as the meals came with corn on the cob and potatoes. You have an option of 4 seasonings to choose from (garlic butter, crafty crab, lemon + pepper, or a mix of all 3). Then you get to decide how spicy you want the flavor. We enjoyed the shrimp the most and the crab was hard to crack as we were provided with plastic silverware and eventually asked for crab crackers to get to the meat. The lobster tails came out curled and cracked in half for easy removal. The flavor was on point, and we enjoyed the steamed bags. Price: like most seafood, it is market price. I feel like it is comparable to other seafood places around. Service: our server was a hoot lol we enjoyed talking to her, but we told her it was our 1st visit and asked for recommendations but she said she only eats the shrimp and wasn't very enthusiastic about seafood. We were seated right away on a Friday evening and drinks and appetizer came out quickly. The steamed bags also arrived at our table shortly after our appetizer. Service would be 5 stars as especially being a Fish Friday we didn't have to wait and the restaurant wasn't packed. 4 stars as we felt the variety wasn't there. Make sure you bib up as it gets saucy :)

    Close friend told us about Crafty Crab, we've been back about 3-4 within the last couple months. The staff is really nice. We had the same waitress twice and she remembered us. The Cajun seasoning for the seafood boil is goood. They give you a good amount of everything so that was nice. Mozzarella sticks were nice and thick so that was nice. Calamari was on point. We also got tenders and wings. I wouldn't get those again but it was nice to have that option because one of my kids doesn't eat seafood. The place is pretty big so we basically had a section to ourselves. They have a dj there on one of the Saturdays we went and he played good music. Overall great experience

They have a really nice outdoor seating area,complete with heaters when needed. We chose to dine inside. The vibe inside the restaurant was kind of a boho rustic feel, and I really liked it. Soft lighting and music really set the tone. We were immediately greeted by our server, Gustavo, and given our menus. We don't drink, but they had a nice selection of drinks, cocktails and spirits. We decided to start with the sweet and sour cauliflower. It was absolutely delicious! Cauliflower battered and fried and tossed in a sweet and sour sauce. For our entree we shared the 44oz Creekstone ribeye. It was served with charred broccolini and and a fried airy potato side dish that was out of this world! The steak came sliced and off the bone, so it was perfect for sharing. It was served with 3 toppings; a horseradish sauce, a balsamic glaze, and delicious mixture of sliced peppers. Our steak was cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. We did not have dessert there, as we had a birthday cake at home. And I feel remiss that I didn't even look to see what they had. Overall, it was the perfect place to have a romantic, celebratory dinner! Thanks Driftwood. *Just a Note ~ I found it odd they added a 20% tip on a 2 top table, and I was glad I noticed it on the bill before we double tipped.

A few of the things I liked.. - Fruit juice used for mixers is made in-house fresh daily. The drinks are creative and made well. - The sweet and sour cauliflower, the sliders, the chicken and dumplings. - Servers are always knowledgeable and attentive - indoor and outdoor seating with fans on a warm day. Upscale vibe with dim lighting. - plenty of parking A few I didn't.. - The fish dip was just ok - the fried part of the southern fried chicken while juicy on the inside, lacked flavor - the up charge for almond vanilla milk in the espresso martini without being told up front of the added cost -the steak tartare happy hour portion is 1 bite-sized piece. Just offer the normal sized portion for a reduced happy hour price as opposed to 1/4th the portion for 1/3rd the price. Overall I would say every experience is good but not great. I would recommend giving this restaurant a try and seeing if you agree with my review.

    Better Than Ever -- and I Didn't Think That Was Possible…read more I'll be honest -- when I heard J&J Seafood Bar and Grill on Atlantic Avenue had changed hands, my heart sank a little. I was a devoted fan under the previous owners and couldn't imagine it getting better. I was so, so wrong. The new owners haven't just maintained what made this place special -- they've elevated it into something truly remarkable. The moment you walk in, you feel it. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and alive in a way that makes you want to linger. They've created a space that feels like a genuine gathering place, and that's a rare thing to find. Now, the food. I ordered the mixed seafood grill, and it was simply spectacular -- fresh, beautifully prepared, and cooked with real care. Each bite reminded me why seafood on the coast should taste like this. And just when I thought the meal couldn't get any better, the turtle cheesecake arrived for dessert. Absolutely divine. Rich, indulgent, and the perfect finish to an already perfect meal. And then there's Chelsea. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely delightful -- the kind of person who makes you feel like a regular from the moment you sit down. She perfectly embodies the spirit the new owners have created here. To my fellow South Florida neighbors -- whether you're in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, or Deerfield Beach -- do yourself a favor and get in here now while the off-season means you can actually snag a table. This gem on Atlantic Avenue is the real deal, and once word fully gets out, you're going to wish you hadn't waited. J&J, you've made a lifelong regular out of me all over again.

On the whole he did a good job but there were mixed reviews from the group. Let's start with the location....it was a bit hard to find because the building is located behind a Publix shopping plaza. There are a few parking lots around. It's hard to know which door is the entrance. It turns out it's the Red door. It's a small stand alone venue. Very coastal - remember it's basically a fish place. There is a bar that you can eat at or at tables and chairs along the perimeter. This is a fun casual place. Expect to wear a bib and have paper tablecloths. Get your anger out on the shellfish as you hammer the shells off and use your hands in many cases to pull out the fish. All equipment is provided to get the job done. You ARE working for your dinner. One of the neighbors does not eat fish so she was able to get a grilled chicken. Unfortunately, it came out too spicy and she couldn't eat it. Waylon didn't come out to check on us to see if everything went according to expectations. However, to make it up to her, he took it off her check. One of us ordered a beautiful piece of salmon and sides. That was impressive and delicious. I had the PACIFIC CLAMBAKE.. Dungeness Crab, Snow Crab, Shrimp, Corn & Potatoes Admirals. It was a very generous portion. My husband started with French Onion soup and a crab cake. That was a "WOW". All crab - no filler and so delicious. I'll come back to eat that next time. Also I saw a couple of girls eating sushi at the bar and they said it was amazing. It's served on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I would also be very interested in that. None of us had room for dessert. The prices were very fair also. This was a nice change of pace to eat at Riggins. It wasn't overwhelmingly crowded at this time but I know it's crazy on the weekends even for lunch. You should call to make a reservation. And leave your phones home because there's no room for them on the table, and you'll be too busy working to eat your food. lol
