Crafty crab sure is crafty...sorry had to input a corny line. It's your local crab spot for all things seafood, buttery, and finger licking. With affordable daily seafood and drink specials it's a spot you gotta hit up. It's not just about crab boils here but they also have great appetizers like hush puppies, calamari, oysters and more. And for those who dont appreciate the seafood gluttony you can always have things like fries , corn, salads, onion rings, sausage, corn, noodles, or chicken tenders. If you do decide on a crab boil make sure to pick your seafood of choice (mix and match away) like lobster, crab, scallops, clams, crawfish, shrimp, mussels, etc. choose your sauce or have all three and be prepared to be stuffed. And if you can fit anything else in, try out a dessert. Put your bib and gloves on and go to town on it all. read more

My niece and I ordered a seafood boil from here for dinner, and since we'd never done a seafood boil as takeout before, we were a little nervous. Ordering was super easy. I placed the order by phone, and it was ready right when I arrived for pickup. I loved that the food came in a nicely sealed, sturdy takeout bag with the receipt attached. Once we got home, the seafood boil smelled amazing. The crab was a great size, and the shrimp were tender and delicious. We ordered the Cajun seasoning mild, and it had a lot of flavor without being overpowering. Overall, I was very satisfied with my order, especially considering it was takeout. I'd definitely order from here again! read more

In town on business and a co-worker was craving crab, so we came in for dinner. I don't do the crab much so I had the fried catfish with fries and sweet tea. First, how do you mess up tea? Way too sweet, couldn't taste the tea itself. The catfish was decent, although I could taste a bit of old oil in it. The coworker said the crab boil was good, I'll take her work for it. The service was kind of spotty, you could tell the server was assigned too many tables, he was all over the place or gone for long periods of time. The ambiance is kind of dated and tired but also very loud. Between the overbearing music and the roar of the crowd trying to talk over the music is wasn't very comfortable to have a meal here. They need to work on a better mix of service and ambiance. read more

Went on a busy Saturday nite. Well run crew! Went in the kitchen & everything so organized. And where else in town can you have a great meal with a fully stocked bar! So much safer & comfortable than other seedy joints..!! read more

I continue to give this place chance and I am not sure why. Let's just say I have learned my lesson. My boil was so salty everything the sauce touched was just overwhelmingly salty! read more

The service went well at the time me and my son went plus it was bad weather. We added oysters at the end that was deliciously steamed read more

Crafty Crab - The lobster special - Seafood Near Me - Homestead, Florida

"I JUST WANNA ROCK ROCK I JUST WANNA I JUST WANNA ROCK ROCK" Is the music we hear entering the establishment. This place is such a good, fun vibe. I am a huge music person and the playlist is just on point. Our waitress was helpful and very friendly. It was our first time here so we needed help with the menu. We settled on 1/2 lb snow crab 1/2 lb dungenous crab, 1 lb peel and eat shrimp. It also comes with potatoes and corn (the corn was so delicious, I want to order extra next time!). The waitress brought us samples of the sauces to try and im so glad she did. We were going to go with the boom which is a mix of all three sauces, but it was too salty for our liking. We ended up just going with the cajun medium and it was perfect! They give you bibs and gloves but we just wore the bibs to save our clothes. The food was soooo good the best part was the snow crab is is so sweet and buttery. The dungenous crab is not as tasty but there is more crab meat. Such a fun experience I cant wait to return :) read more

I love this place and the service is amazing . They have happy hour good prices the music you play whatever you like

The first time I came here was good but this second time, not so much. My waiter took my order. I decided to try their Thursday deals. When I get my drinks, one had less drink than the other cup. On the lemon drop shot, there was a little spec on the rim. I decided to just wipe it off until I realized both these cups were filthy. I got my "All By Myself" special but my rice didn't make it until after I was done eating. I waited half an hour for my rice .... I might as well not have had it but never mind. Took it home. Not the worst. I decided not to make a big deal. I just paid for what I did consume, the waiter did apologize & removed the drinks off my tab. It wasn't a horrific experience but the dirty cups & rice coming after my meal was a downer. I do like this spot. I had a decent first experience so maybe third times a charm ? read more

Good food at fair prices. Servers are good, Nicole is excellent! Atmosphere is appropriate for singles, dates, and families.

The pasta is really good and they have a non-seafood option and honor heavy sauce. Front staff was very helpful and displayed great customer service. We ordered to go but the glimpse of ambiance appeared nice. read more

So, Maritza and myself went Saturday evening. They mistakenly gave us a happy hour menu, but decided to honor it, so we got 2 free beers. Conch fritters were on spot. The oysters were good. The boil we ordered was good, and the service was good. My big issue is, for silverware we had 2 plastic forks, no knives, no oyster forks. And Styrofoam plates. I'm not an extremist for the environment, but Styrofoam? I just watched a video showing a prisoner trying to work with plastic utensils. And felt a bit of compassion. Now I'm in a restaurant spending over $100 and trying to cut an eye from an oyster with a plastic fork?? Do better!! read more

I was in Florida visiting for the weekend and to celebrate my sister's birthday. My niece surprised us by ordering two boils for everyone. It was amazingly delicious. I couldn't stop eating. I was happy to satisfy my seafood craving with FRESH, tasty,, good seafood. Crafty Crab delivered. Thank you! I will eat in next time and go on a diet before I come. read more

We ate there after a day at the Everglades. Seated right away & we wore jackets--brrr. I had a passion fruit margarita, the special. It was bland so I'd suggest strawberry. Hub's beer was in a bottle but menu said draught. Both delivered quickly. We ordered crab cakes, but they came with the meal, not before. They were just okay. Hub's had wanted to try a seafood boil & finally got to do so! He had a pound of headless shrimp in a buttery garlic sauce with the mild heat. Mmm...delicious! It only had one piece of corn on the cob & two small potatoes, but for $20, I understand. I had fried oysters & onion rings. Perhaps a fried overload! Food was fresh & service was great! read more

Food was horrible, unseasoned and crab legs and shrimp were very overcooked, very mushy. I got the boil with potatoes and corn just horrible no flavor, I get better steamed seafood from publix!! Waste of $$$ read more

Food was great! Service was too! The bathrooms need some work for cleanliness. We went on Valentine's Day so it got busy but service stayed consistent. read more

Don't order any pasta from here. (I knew better than to order it, so that's my fault). It's jarred Alfredo sauce, on some fettuccine, with some chicken breast that's been sitting out thrown on top. The wings were good though! They weren't "Cajun" just seasoned with seasoning salt, they were good though. read more

Crafty Crab in Allen Park was amazing our waiter Jose was super helpful since it was our first time!!!

It was alright. Had the seafood boil, very messy as expected and not really my thing but I get the appeal for those who really enjoy that sort of thing. The service was ok I don't think my waiter could really hear me because of all the noise. The atmosphere was very cool. Kinda felt like I was on a ship. I'd probably go again sometime. read more

Service ok 10-15% tip is generous. My better half wanted white wine but he didn't know what they had to offer. The drinks took about 6minute. Kept telling us our appetizer where coming out but it took over 15-20 minutes for the fried apps the oyster came out timely. Food kind disappointing we had raw and steamed oysters they where not cut free of the shell and the steam one must have shrivels up cause they where smaller. The raw ones did taste fresh. Calamari was good not over breaded. Crab cakes where very disappointing thick hard crust, no crab chunk tasted like something from a chain restaurant bland and boring. We where looking forward to a Key lime pie but they where out. There was a table of loud obnoxious woman which took away from our quite dinner. read more

Do not do it. The food was over cooked. When I called back the Restaurant they really didn't care and a bunch of youngsters who are very un professional. I asked them to add some bibs and table cover in the order and they said we don't do that. So If I eat there they will use it for the table but when you order they dont add it? Very weird. Also you can tell the pound of shrimp is not a pound unless they add the sauce to it. I think they weight it after they add the sauce. There is definitely some what a scam going on in the orders and they don't give you what you pay for. read more

I ordered takeout on Saturday night. The restaurant was packed and I had to wait an extra 10 minutes for my order. I ordered 1/2 lb of snow crab legs and 1/2 lb of headless shrimp. The crab legs only had a little piece of meat, like practically empty shells. I have never experienced this. The shrimp were overcooked. I also didn't receive corn on the cob. I am very dissatisfied with this location and I will not return. I usually dine in at the Crafty Crab across from The Falls, which always has great food and service. read more

The food is amazing, the specials they have going on are amazing. The drink happy hour menu is also amazing. The crowd is always live and having a great time the bartenders seem to always enjoy their time to take care of their customers. I just recently moved to homes and wanted to go somewhere to have good quality food but also enjoy my time. I didn't think that I would find this here in Homestead, but I have to say wait. I will definitely come back, but I have to give all props to my customer. Service service was hands-down to. Danielle.. not only was she my server I saw her running in the back to serve drinks as a bartender and working the back also to make sure that customers were getting their food out in a timely matter with that being said she deserves a raise 100% I hope to see her in management ASAP. read more

Food on my part was not eatable but my husband loved his steamed king crab legs !!!! Order what they specialize in. read more

When my husband found out this place was open we were so excited. There aren't to many seafood restaurants in our area of Homestead. On our 2nd visit my husband found a very fine black hair in his crab. How disgusting ! When we asked one of the staff members if hair nets are worn in the kitchen by those preparing the food, it was advised they only wear hats!? Then to top it off my 7 year old son found hair in his Catfish. Within this past week we have spent over $350.00. How disappointing. So we will never return. read more

OMG AMAZING food!!! We sat at the bar bc the wait was long and there was only one bartender on a Saturday night so the service was a little slow and it took about an hour for our food to come out. I know this is a new place so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping the device Ans Mitch issues get worked out because the food was off the chain. The female bartender finally came out of the back to help the poor new guy who was taking care of the bar and entire restaurant by himself. If a manager reads this, the female bartender with long black hair is VERY inappropriate and LAZY. She mentioned she had a hangover and looked very rough... read more

Food is amazing! Prices are great for the portions you get. Keep in mind that crab is expensive so you will not leave there without spending at least $30 per person. Only gripe is most of the times I go, I will never see waitresses again after they bring out my food. No refills and have to walk over to bar to ask to pay. Important tip: bring your own gloves. The ones they give are like huge grocery bags. I bring my own and my own crab utensils as all they give you is a cracker and plastic fork. read more

The food was fantastic, and the service was excellent. Upon entering, I immediately noticed the inviting atmosphere, and the meal was delicious(you don't find in Miami often). After finishing, I accidentally left my wallet on the seat. Fortunately, they kindly held onto it and returned my call to inform me it was still there. I was relieved to find that nothing was missing, which really demonstrates their honesty, thanks to Brayan, Jessica, and Sunday night crew!!!!! read more

Delicious professional service. Costly though but worth it. Variety on menu very clean. Pleasant atmosphere Great for large gatherings. We ordered a large boil. Family ate every last drop. We save broth for a meal at home. read more

We happened upon this place Sunday 1/23, 2 days after they opened. The oysters were great and the boil delivered was good. Service was good. Being brand new there were expected glitches, but overall better than nearby options in Homestead. A bit pricey, but the choice would be , drive to Key Largo and look for better or, drive to Cutler Ridge /Perrine and get something similar read more

Decided to stop in for a late lunch. The place was empty and we were seated immediately. The dining room was clean and they had a full bar. You will receive 1 styrofoam plate and 1 plastic fork per person when you arrive. The plate and fork are dollar tree quality. It's important to note because the fork is the ONLY utensil you will receive. We ordered mozzarella sticks and marinara sauce for the appetizer. It was very generic tasting. I ordered the catfish with cole slaw and sweet potato fries. My friend ordered the lobster boil. The catfish was okay. The cole slaw came in a to go container. It was watery and generic tasting as well. The sweet potato fries were the best part of my meal. The lobster boil left a lot to be desired. The lobster tail was okay. The only other thing in the bag was a potato. That was it. You get a lobster tail, a dry potato and the accompanying sauce on the side in a to go container. Digging the meat out of the lobster tail was difficult given the lack of utensils. We asked for a knife, the waiter seemed puzzled at the request but proceeded to bring a plastic, dollar tree quality knife. I suppose most people douse the "boil" in sauce so there is no salt or pepper at the tables. We asked for sour cream for the potato and they didn't have any. They also don't provide butter. I do not recommend this restaurant. I'm not sure if all crab boil places are the same but I got the impression that they cut a lot of corners to keep their costs down. While our waiter was polite and served us quickly and efficiently, he didn't provide much information when we asked for recommendations. read more
