    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.

We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to look over the menu before ordering. We started with the Steak Tartare, served with beer-battered smoked onion petals, truffle, egg yolk, and manchego. It was excellent and one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the Za'atar Roasted Local Vegetables with spicy greens, feta tzatziki, lime pickles, and pepitas. It was good, but it wasn't my favorite dish. For our entrées, one person ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese with pork and beef ragu, housemade raw milk ricotta, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. It was rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the Jerk Local Swordfish from Fort Lauderdale with braised Swiss chard, local radish escovitch, and jackfruit miso beurre blanc. While the swordfish itself was cooked well, I wasn't a fan of the jerk seasoning. The flounder, however, was outstanding and probably my favorite entrée. To drink, I had the Les Fumées Blanches Orange Sauvignon Blanc, which I really enjoyed. Someone else had an Old Fashioned. For dessert, we shared the Affogato with mascarpone ice cream, dark chocolate, and espresso, and it was a perfect ending to the meal. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and we appreciated being able to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. It is on the pricey side, but that's fairly typical for a farm-to-table restaurant using quality ingredients. There's a small parking lot behind the restaurant, and we were lucky enough to grab a spot. Overall, it's a fun place for a date night or a nice dinner with family. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Or if you want, they have a great bar and you can hang out there and have a bite.

We arrived early and then watched a steady stream of regulars come in... many greeting the waitstaff with hugs... always a great sign. Simply and tastefully decorated with a playful nautical theme.

Our guest ordered the Eggplant Parm and said it was excellent. Dinners come with Soup or House Salad. I upgraded to a Caesar (+$3)... basic, but very good, with a dressing I really liked.

The husband-and-wife owners are clearly hands-on... stopping by tables, checking in with guests, and keeping a watchful eye on everything. It's obvious they care and truly want you to have a great time here. I called for a reservation and it was basically sold out... when they said they could take me at 5pm, I grabbed it. Was actually perfect as I was heading over to see the tennis tournament after dinner. On arrival, the place was empty. As expected, when we left, it was completely full. A half bottle of Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay was perfect with my lobster. The wine list isn't extensive, but it's well chosen and fairly priced. The food was excellent across the board. A special of Scallops, Crab Cake, topped with Shrimp over Vegetables was fantastic. My guest enjoyed the Clams Oreganata. I loved my Baked Stuffed Lobster (stuffed with crab), served with amazing Mashed Potatoes... and bonus points for a real hand towel after the lobster. Of course, I had to try the key lime pie... very good. Now I understand why this casual, unassuming spot is so popular... it hits on every note.

I recently came back with a friend for oysters, clams, and drinks, and we sat at the bar for the evening. The oysters, clams, and mussels were absolutely delicious. I originally ordered a Grey Goose martini before realizing they only serve beer and wine, so I switched to a Chardonnay, which was great. The experience was nostalgic in the best way. I know the ownership has changed since I first came here, but I was so happy to hear the cook is still the same! It really brought back memories. We had a fun night overall -- although I may have slightly annoyed the bartender by asking her to take photos of us (they didn't come out too well under the lighting). Before we left, another server kindly helped us take a few away from the lights, and those turned out much better. All in all, I'm really glad I came back to give J and J's another whirl. The food was fresh and delicious, the atmosphere was warm and nostalgic, and it reminded me why I loved this place to begin with. You should give it a try too!

The restaurant is small, however it is beautiful inside and does offer outdoor seating as well. Now for the food. They bring out fresh hot rolls with a small plate of cheese pesto and balsamic drizzle. Outstanding!!!!! We came to find out the owner who is the chef, his wife is a pastry chef and makes the bread and desserts. To start we had the Spanish chargrilled octopus. I know I have said this before about other restaurants, but I can truly say hands-down. This was the freshest, most tender, and one of the most flavorful grilled octopus that we have had. It came with a mixture of capers, potatoes, and vegetables in an amazing sauce. Truly fantastic. For dinner, my wife had the blackened yellowtail snapper in curry sauce, and I had the shellfish pan roast. Both were one of a kind dishes. We have never had such great flavor and seafood. Not to mention the amount of food that they put out and the presentation is worthy of awards. My wife's blacked snapper was cooked perfectly had a light blackened coating, and the curry sauce was tremendous. My shellfish were super fresh. Again cooked to perfection, tender, and flavorful. The sauce they were in was amazing. For dessert, we tried their homemade Keylime pie, and this too was top-notch and made fresh. We are planning our next trip to this restaurant and if you actually want a true fine, dining seafood experience you have to try this spot. I'm going to say it is priced accordingly for the true quality of food, the amount you are served and the presentation. If you are looking for a fried shrimp basket or fish and chips, this is not the type of restaurant for you. This is upscale seafood, and a true upscale seafood experience. You might want to consider making reservations as they do get busy and as I mentioned earlier, it is a small restaurant.
