Good service, friendly, pretty much exclusively seafood. The specialty is their seafood boils. You pick 2 or 3 things in a sauce , spice level, and it comes out in a puffy bag. Messy eating but pretty tasty. Not cheap, but it's good. read more

If you come here DO NOT SIT AT THE BAR. Worse f***ing service ever. don't know the bartenders because he never offered. Asked for the shell crackers was practically thrown on the bar. Never cleaned up after we ate and you know these boils could be messy. Never engaged or made eye contact. We are a two to three drink couple but since we felt we were bothering him, we just went with one. I'll sit at the booths next time read more

Crafty Crab - Be this way for about 10 min. Place is empty. - Seafood Near Me - Boynton Beach, Florida

The space was near cavernous mid afternoon and curiously empty. We ordered crawfish and crabs leg entrees. The crawfish came with a sauce that tasted toxic. Spicy but unflavorable. I asked for an alternative which was as bad. The crawfish were near nonexistent and only 1 had any substantial meat. The rest were mere shells coated with an unrecognizable sauce. The crabs legs dish best feature was the half corn cob. The crabs legs weren't restaurant grade, thin and lacking meat. In all a pricey experience. Bad food, no ambiance, a somewhat distant server at a location that appears to lack a following. read more

If you like to eat seafood and you like good customer service, please come over here. I do recommend Kyle. He is an amazing sweet person. He is very attentive so please do me a favor that if you ever come eat here ask for him he is very sweet.

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Seafood boil is such a good meal for seafood lovers. One of my family members who does not usually order seafood enjoyed their meal. The quantity of food is a bit on the heavy side. They do not skimp on the shrimp. The other items tend to fill you up (Corn, Potatoes, Sausage). Be prepared to get your hands dirty because that's the best way to eat everything. read more

My bestie and I got a large seafood headless platter and we loved it! Good music bumping, had all kinds of people next to us singing along. There was so much left overs, definitely worth the $80 since we split the price. The vibes in here are great and we felt very comfortable with our server and the audience. Well decorated too! We loved looking around in here. read more

too salty, frozen crawfish from the ice age. no taste. quitted here. Jog/lantana is way better.

Ordered the mussels and clams. Mussels were delicious. About the clam. Received maybe 4 that was eatable. When I called the restaurant they told me they fell to the bottom. No e not to mention the clams that didn't even open. When you pay that much for food you expect to pay for what you pay for. You should be ashamed of yourself. Only sorry I didn't take pictures. Make survyoyr getting for you pay for with this place. Apparently they like ripping off people who work hard for there money. Left several reviews. Only allow you to leave the good reviews. Shame on you read more

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. read more

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 :) read more

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 read more

Crafty Crab - Crawfish boil - Seafood Near Me - Boynton Beach, Florida

10/10 recommend! The snow crab boil is my favorite and the boom sauce is amazing! Service is great and prices honestly aren't bad either

The restaurant opens at 3 PM. We found out the hard way because we went there for a late lunch and arrived at 2:30 PM. Don't let the Open sign fool you like it did us. The doors opened exactly at 3:00 PM. We both had Seafood Boils: one with 1 lb. Headless Shrimp, Boiled Egg, and Potato with Very Mild Spices; the other with Headless Shrimp and Crawfish (upcharge to add the Crawfish) and Corn with the Boom Spices (combination of Buttery Garlic, Lemon Pepper, and Crafty Cajun spice mixes). The meals came steamed in plastic bags accompanied with a bib, gloves, handiwipes, and a pail for the discards. They serve plump shrimp and large crawfish. The seasoning is outstanding. The restaurant decor is functional rather than decorative. All the patrons were seated in booths lined up against one window. The window has an advertising sheet on it that keeps the people walking by from gawking at you while you are eating. read more

Delicious happy hour. Fried shrimp basket and sweet potato fries. $6.50! We can't wait to go back . Also had tilapia or chicken baskets.

Delicious boiled seafood! Get the mixed flavor and don't forget to add the smokey sausage.

The BEST seafood boils around. Yummy buttery sauce that the potatoes soak up. Great seafood! read more

Don't go in nice clothes, Not a place you can eat off a plate. Very messy and but fun. Shrimp was fresh, clean and very good, music was awkward... some party rap stuff. Food came out fast. Service was good, kind of strange not to have salt and pepper on the tables though. Restaurant is clean, Bright and lots of room. Drinks are expensive and had very little alcohol to our taste. Good for the money though, give it a try. read more

Crafty Crab - Gumbo is really good and tasty. Somewhat spicy. - Seafood Near Me - Boynton Beach, Florida

Cajun seafood chain done right. I have been to multiple Crafty Crab establishments in south FL, but the Boynton Beach one does it best. I usually order "the boom" sauce mild with headless shrimp, clams, and craw fish. Don't forget to add the extra corn! This place is seriously tasty. The service is usually pretty good. I have had a couple times when it was spotty but it was busy. The music in the establishment can be loud and some what annoying at times. Other then these few things, Crafty Crab is a must. Overall I rank it a 4.4/5. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

Knew I wasn't making dinner so decided to order online and pick up after work. When I go to pick up I'm immediately greeted and my order is brought out. On first inspection I had more food than I thought I should have received. But once I got it home and plated the quality was average at best. Crawfish tasted frozen even though we are currently in crawfish season. No clue if the crawfish is coming from farms or local sources. The season was great but some pieces from didn't feel as fresh as others. Then when biting into the eggs there was an extremely thick grey ring around yolk. IDK It's the weird little things that I've never noticed before. Service was good but food was just ok. read more

I came in on a Tuesday where I was greeted by one of the waitresses her name was Joanna she remembered me when I came by the last time I did and can I say she did a even better job than last time super friendly took her time to show me what's the best meal to get and vert patient her services is so top notch I could go there every day she is the star of that place and they're really lucky to have a phenomenal worker working there read more

We come to this location often. Always clean and the food is great. Once waiter I want to call out is Kyle. I've never seen a waiter pay so much attention to the customers. You don't even have to ask for anything because he thinks of it before you even notice you need it. Always pleasant, stops by a few times while you're eating doesn't disappear on you. Definitely recommend going to this location and asking for him because you'll be pleasantly pleased with his service. Very professional! read more

We came starving for dinner on a Saturday evening around 7:30 pm. The shopping center this place is in is nice. The location is nice, brightly lit, and has plenty of parking. It's close to 95, so that's convenient when you're not from around here. First of all, there was a love DJ playing very loud music when we came in. I mean, unnecessarily loud for a dinner crowd, and it wasn't like he was playing easy listening music. Club-level hip-hop should really be reserved for the after 10 crowd. It was hard to have a conversation. The service was good, not great. Our service was friendly but our stuff took a few extra minutes to come out. We ordered hush puppies, calamari, shrimp basket for 2 little ones, the lobster special, and a 1/2 pound snow crab & shrimp boils. Hush puppies were really good, not too big. Calamari was crispy and seasoned well, not too salty. The shrimp basket was a good portion & tasty, so no complaints at all. A little warning that the cocktail sauce is a little spicier than the normal. I liked it, but if you're kids aren't used to spicy, beware. Now the boils! Holy cow! They were both delicious and filling!! Hubby got the butter mild & killed it! I got the lemon-pepper medium heat... it's more like a mild heat though. Still, it was delish! read more

I've never eaten in but have gotten take out more times than I can count. I always order their crab boils. This time I had the Dungeness Special. This boil could feed two people but if you are obsessed with crab boils then this is only for you lol. I love everything in the bags except the sausages. I have to add eggs in order for me to enjoy them or I'll just give them away. I have substituted the sausages for an extra corn before. Depends on who take your order because I find that some people say you can't sub them and some say you can and some say it'll be an up charge so I don't know exactly what the location policy is. My favorite boils are the ones that include lobsters. This is definitely a go to for me when I'm randomly needing my seafood boil fix. read more

I stopped by after work on a Wednesday afternoon. The restaurant was nearly empty. There was no social distancing of tables. The restaurant opened at 3 & I arrived before 3:45. There were only two other parties in the restaurant at the time & we were all seated right next to each other. My waitress was very polite & prompt. I ordered a blue Lemonade margarita & browsed the menu a bit. I've patronized the Ft. Lauderdale location on a few occasions so I was no stranger to Crafty Crab. I decided on a crab boil of 1lb of snow crab legs & one lobster tail. The boils already come with potato's & corn when you order a minimum of 1lb. My margarita was perfect. Just what I needed to ease out of a workday. My food arrived in about 15 minutes. My boil was hot, fresh & delicious. I had my boil seasoned with the "boom" sauce, mild. I should have gone with hot for more of a kick. Overall I was satisfied with the service & quality of my meal. read more

Ordered this through DoorDash! There was absolutely no crab meat in the crab legs - a cracked shell of absolutely nothing. This was an expensive Seafood Platter and it was awful, most of the clam meat was out of its shell, or completely closed. Total disappointment. read more

It was me and my family's first time going there, and I cannot express how delicious the food was! The setting, the full bar, the restaurant , very easy on the eyes!!! However, the bathrooms were absolutely filthy. And when I mean, filthy, you can tell these toilets Haven't been cleaned in a very long time. I have to say I was shocked. Stark contrast from the restaurant itself. read more

Food is good, i love seafood boils. The sauce is amazing (the BOOM). They combine three flavors (Cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic) it's a must! The service is TRASH. waited an hour to sit, 20 mins just for water for the table (which i had to ask the hostess for) I really recommend if you want to try this place, get it to go. They had probably 20 people waiting outside but half the restaurant was closed off. I thought maybe due to covid, but it's because "they only open half the restaurant on the weekends" So you rather have paying customers waiting outside for an hour than have them seated? Food is amazing but environment is not. Get it to go. read more
