Called ahead of time and asked if we could be seated after a long flight and were told it was okay to come in and they said yes, after a $35 uber ride we get there and they aren't seating anymore and are clearly closing. Maybe adjust your hours or don't tell customers they can come in if the hours aren't accurate. read more

I visited Crusty Crab last night and ordered the small seafood platter with Cajun sauce. The sauce itself was absolutely delicious--flavorful and well-balanced. The potato, corn, and side of rice were also excellent. However, once we began eating the seafood, things took a sharp turn. After just a few bites--a couple of shrimp, two clams, and half a crab leg--I began to feel extremely nauseous. The flavor was overwhelming and unpleasant, almost like seawater, and I couldn't stomach any more. My dining companion and I left 97% of the seafood untouched. I requested lemon water or something to cleanse my palate, but the discomfort was immediate and intense. Our waiter was outstanding--attentive, understanding, and very professional. He brought over the manager on duty, Angel, to address the issue. I want to be clear: I wasn't looking for a refund or to avoid paying. I simply wanted the dish to be acknowledged as inedible and, ideally, accommodated appropriately since I couldn't eat it. Unfortunately, the response I received from Angel was shockingly rude and unprofessional. From the moment he approached our table, he was defensive and dismissive. When I mentioned that the seafood didn't taste fresh and that I was feeling sick, he took it personally and responded aggressively, insisting their seafood is always fresh and that they've never received complaints. I explained that I've been a loyal customer and this location is actually one of our favorites, but the food that night was not up to standard. Rather than listening, Angel continued to argue and even questioned whether I was truly feeling sick, claiming it would take 24-48 hours for symptoms to appear. I reminded him he was a restaurant manager--not a medical professional--and that making such claims was both inappropriate and dismissive. When I asked for his name, he became even more confrontational. He loudly stated, "I don't gotta write down shit for nobody," and walked away. This level of disrespect and lack of accountability was truly appalling. What upset me most was not the food, but the way I was treated. Angel showed no empathy or professionalism. After a lengthy and uncomfortable discussion, he finally offered a 25% discount, only to later apply just 10% at checkout. I have never been treated so poorly in a restaurant setting. I will be contacting corporate regarding this matter and am also considering speaking with legal counsel due to the severity of how this situation affected me physically and emotionally. read more

Don't dine here! I used a brand new card that I had not yet used and the waiter stole my credit card numbers and purchase SHEIN orders. Yesterday, I visited Crafty Crab - Houston - FM 1960 for dinner to wait out the traffic. The restaurant was nearly empty, with only about three ppl dining in. I usually avoid using my debit card, but since I had a new one that hadn't been used yet, I decided to use it for this purchase. While dining, I noticed that the waitress took an unusually long time with my card, especially considering I was seated right next to the register. I saw her coming from the back with drinks for the only other table on that side before returning my card to me. After returning home, I received two notifications indicating that my card had just been used at SHEIN. I immediately checked my transaction history to ensure everything else was correct; all other charges were either through Apple Pay or automatic payments, as I had stopped providing my debit card directly to businesses. I called the restaurant and asked to speak with a manager but was hung up on three times. When someone finally answered, they attempted to disguise their voice before asking what I needed. As I explained the situation, they hung up again. I continued calling--eight times in total--and each time, they either ignored me or picked up only to laugh and hang up again. Eventually, a "manager" answered, though he could barely speak English and kept asking me to repeat myself. After finally looking up my receipt to verify that I had dined there, he quickly denied any wrongdoing, claiming, "Oh no, my waiter didn't do this; we were too busy at that time" (which was clearly not the case). Stay cautious and protect your financial information. read more

Very disappointed with our experience. This was our first time visiting this location and unfortunately it will be our last. The restaurant was clearly short staffed, we waited over an hour, and the place was noticeably dirty. Tables were not being cleaned promptly and the overall environment felt unkempt. I understand busy days happen, but this was unacceptable. We will not be returning. read more

The oysters made me ill. I spoke to manager next day and asked for my money back. He refused hung up on me.

Hello, I'm Aric Melton one of the owners of Inspiring Minds Therapeutic Services in Houston , TX. Last night 6/21/25, I promised my wife some Dungeness Crabs for dinner. Since we were staying in the Woodlands area we tried the Crafty Crab ‍ I can't remember the managers name because he was so rude! We ordered probably $160 worth of seafood, I also ordered a house salad. The seafood arrived as I started to dig into my salad. TBH, I was already disappointed that my salad was made from iceberg lettuce, but I'm hungry. After taking two bites and moving the lettuce around I notice about 2 ounces of water in the bottom of my bowl. Ok, now I don't want this simple house salad! After informing our waitress of the water at the bottom of the bowl, I politely asked her to take the salad and remove it from the ticket. We even laughed as I stated to her, "that's what I get ordering a salad at a seafood place". The manager, comes over (Hispanic Male), says to me, "Sir, what's wrong with your salad?" I simply gave him the same story and he says, "No, you're going to pay for the salad, you ate some so you're going to pay for it. All salads have water in the bowl. It's a salad" Instead of arguing with this man, I looked at my hungry wife as she was salivating over these crabs legs and I said to him. "Well, we don't want any of this food then. I've eaten thousands of salad and I know they don't have water at the bottom of them. I'll pay for the salad but I'm not buying anything else from you. Check please". We left and enjoyed Steaks next door at Texas Roadhouse. I will never go there again that Establishment again and as long as that manager is on duty, I wouldn't suggest you either. Take care read more

This place is eh , it's not nasty but it's also not good it's nothing special , sauce is a bunch of seasoning thrown together. I'm wish I had kept my money instead of buying this honestly. You get a great amount of food for the price but what good is a copious amount of food you don't really care to eat lol. I had high hopes. They should also be ashamed calling that gumbo it's more of a hardy seafood soup Louisiana would not be happy of this representation of their food lol needs work read more

I definitely will not be ordering from this location again. I am new to this area, usually get 7Spice but wanted to try this spot since it was closest now. I ordered $60 worth of food and was completely disappointed. The crab legs and potatoes were overcooked so potatoes were not picking up the flavor in the boil. The crab just broke apart so just ate in pieces, unfortunately. The sausage and sauce was literally the only things I can speak positive about. When I spend this much I am usually satisfied, but of course that's at other seafood places but this was absolutely terrible. First and last time ordering/eating here. Blessings. read more

Manager is very rude & discriminatory. There's absolutely no hospitality or customer service from the current manager here, i will say the host i seen today & the server I had had good service but the manager here is beyond unprofessional and should be removed from this establishment as he has NO interpersonal skills . Today me and a friend came and got drinks , my drink was absolutely terrible so I politely asked the manager (as he was walking through) if i was able to switch it out or not , basically he said no i could change me NEXT drink and i told him okay understandable. After trying the drink again i asked my server if i could have some simple syrup to try to make it better and im assuming she asked the manager to which he respond NO maybe on my next drink. Which i find very rude especially since im willing to pay for it even though 2 pumps of sugar i think should be free especially as a manager of a business you look for a solution but i digress. I asked to speak to him directly to see why i couldn't have any. BEFORE I EVEN WAS ABLE TO LET OUT A WORD, the manager came over to the table and immediately pointed out my FRIENDS drink and said "oh and you already drunk half "????with an attitude Mind you IT WAS MY DRINK WITH THE PROBLEM not hers & my drink was literally still full i only took 2 sips!! So im immediately appalled at the hostility it was so crazy I've never experienced such aggression from the jump before i could even ask a simple question . So i said can you calm down?? I haven't even said anything and you're talking about my friends drink when im the one with the problem. He counties to huff and puff and rush me AGGRESSIVELY as im asking him to not be so hostile because im literally so confused as to why he's already upset with me ? I truly wish this incident was recorded because he doesn't need to work here or be in management at all with this terrible attitude. I am a server , so to see a business with with absolutely no hospitality was crazy to me because i haven't been to a place like this in a very long time and i see why no matter how good the food is a bad manger will run it to the ground! After explaining and communicating to him I HAVE NO PROBLEM paying for the drink my food and still tipping my amazing server he cut me off and said so what you want the sugar i said yes and he stormed off and had my server bring me some. Ruined my appetite but i stayed and ate a little cause i didn't want him to ruin me and my friends time we rarely get. This situation was highly inappropriate from a manager and i hope he ha the day he deserves. read more

Crafty Crab - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Waiters always with a bad ghetto attitude, and still demand 18% tip as if they deserve it. Problem starts with the manager not having a back bone to speak up and deal with his employees. read more

The food was delicious. The service was ok. My server was nice she had great hospitality. but the host...seemed rude. There was not a single greeting.‍ and maybe I could be cheap about this but why are we charging for lemon on the side?! I've been to other seafood spots and they don't charge for lemon.. read more

Date of Visit: July 30, 2025Location: Crafty Crab, 211 Cypress Creek Pkwy, Ste L, Houston, TX 77090 I usually don't leave reviews like this, but what happened during our visit was so unsettling that I feel obligated to share. My experience started off fine, our server, Genesis, was polite and attentive. She did her best and deserves recognition for her service. The problem came from the kitchen and management, and it was serious. The kitchen accidentally placed my side of corn and potatoes into the wrong seafood bag at our table. Instead of correcting the mistake properly, the kitchen told our waitress to ask the other diners to take the food out of their bag by hand (no gloves) and put it on a plate for me. When I asked to speak with the manager, I was shocked to learn that Angel, the manager, was the one who approved this. I told him this was extremely unsanitary, and he brushed it off and said, "Do you want the food or not?" He even told the other guests pay for extra corn and potatoes (the kitchen's mistake) or give it back and he accepted the touched food back into the kitchen. No gloves, no food safety protocols, just completely unprofessional and unsafe. To top it off, there was no health inspection grade posted anywhere, which raised even more concerns. I've never encountered this kind of behavior from restaurant management. It wasn't just bad service, it was a serious food safety issue. I reported the incident to the Houston Health Department because situations like this put people at risk. Until this place gets proper training and a new manager who actually respects health standards, I strongly do not recommend dining here. read more

So first I want to say the food was absolutely amazing the food was great. My only thing is the waiter that we had . I can't remember his name but he was extremely rude. He didn't introduce himself (maybe why I don't remember his name lol) . He just seemed like he didn't want to be bothered. We asked questions he acted annoyed. Never came and checked on us. We're at a crab place and we had to ask for a craker and was told they only had one. Hmmm!!! They have an automatic gratuity that they apply for parties of 6 or more so I feel like either he didn't expect he had to do much because he had a great tip coming. Or maybe he just had a bad day. I would say try for yourself because food is good but let them and me know about service! To me my tip depends on service not the food because I know they have no control over that. read more

The worst Crafty crab in the city . I arrived to this location exactly at opening ,the doors were open . I was met by a very rude gentleman telling me he could not service me due to his staff not being there and available to take my order . Also, the kitchen was not prepared to cook yet ! The menu is much different from other Crafty crabs . And lastly my seafood was so soggy and limp due to the container not being properly vented . read more

Uber Eats Review : I'm trying to understand why I'd order mozerella sticks ...with no sauce lol just fry cheese sticks right ...then on I ordered 1lb of shrimp with the head on . I put in the notes twice to please give me a side of lemons & dry seasoning . Please . Multiple times . What's the point of a notes section if you don't pay attention to the notes ? & now I have shrimp & no lemon & some may not understand but now I can't really enjoy my meal. Sigh . read more

Terrible customer service. I ordered over the phone and when I went to pick up they gave me the wrong order. Once I realized I went back. THEY WOULD NOT OWN UP AND EVEN SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. The manager is rude and condescending I would definitely not recommend every other location I've gone to have been great so I was really upset. read more

Great food. Excellent atmosphere. Fast service. Convenient location off FM 1960. Recommended!

Food was 10/10 and service was not that good but good. Ambiance is very nice and cute.

Bad wait service. Took long to take order. Took long for order to come out. Gumbo is Campbells soup. No seasoning. 0/10. Do not recommend.

I don't know if you when you eat there, they give you more food, but my plate was not worth what they gave me read more

I ordered, crab and shrimp to go, and upon arriving home and opening my bag up, there was no crab cluster in there. I called the establishment to let them know and request if I would be able to return to pick that up. I spoke to the owner/manager and after explaining my situation he stated "you're tripping, cause I'm not trippin, because I packed that order myself". This place is very unprofessional and will not be returning. read more

I was hesitant to eat here because of the reviews but after my husband bought the crawfish boil I wanted to try it so I did. Their food has so much flavor it was so delicious.

Crafty Crab - Crawfish boil - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

horrible customer service would not recommend. Visited this place last night with a friend and host immediately let us know they aren't taking card payments only cashapp/zelle or cash , we agreed to zelle . After being seated we ordered right away . Our food came out about 15min later however very bland we requested seasoning. Once seasoning was brought out waitress let us know they were not longer taking zelle or cashapp only CASH. We asked to speak to a manager because we did not have cash we agreed to zelle the company . Manger never came we had to find him at the bar where he did not want to find a solution instead ignored us . We offered to pay for half the food and leave as we did not feel welcomed however the manager threatened to call cops if we did not pay in full. We took the initiative to call first . NOT ONLY DID WE NOT GET TO EAT THE MANAGER WANTED US TO ZELLE OR CASHAPP HIS EMPLOYES SO HE THEN CAN RECEIVE THE MONEY! It is not our fault that your system was DOWN. After being held against our will for almost 2 hours authorities called and requested to speak to manager , TOLD HIM IT WAS ILLEGAL TO KEEP US THERE , WE WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SYSTEM BEING DOWN AND WE AGREED TO ZELLE COMPANY NOT PAY IN ANOTHER FORM Manager hung up and allowed security to let us leave at 12:25am. Overall horrible location , food was never finished/ made correctly and the way this place is being ran absolutely horrible . 211 CYPRESS CREEK LOCATION read more

I called the location on 45 and 1960 in Houston Texas to let the manager know that myself and my 3 kids got sick from eating the crawfish and shrimp there the day before. I'm was not asking for no money back, I simply wanted the restaurant award for the safety of others. This manager, named ANGEL was unbelievably rude and hung up in my face! He said, we'll go to the hospital " and that no one else got sick. Horrible customer service and very frustrating because this is my birthday weekend and my whole family sick! Mind you this was my favorite restaurant and I've spent thousands of dollars with them for years!! read more

This is a great hang out, sports catch, and eating spot. They got it right and it's not a one off, every time I go the service is good the food is good and I leave full read more

It's a new place and the inside is really nice!! We ordered shrimp baskets, fried oyster baskets, steamed oysters, hush puppies & more! It all tasted yummy! Idk what it was about the fries, we really enjoyed those too! Sadly I didn't get the mixologist name but man the Strawberry Margaritas he made were really good & I normally don't drink on the rocks so that says a lot! It's very spacious & due to Covid we all know restaurants are using disposable items but they made sure they were nice & even customized with the restaurants name/logo I'm one that appreciates the cute little things tbh! If you ever get a chance or have a craving for seafood give them a try! read more

This I can HONESTLY SAY, is the ABSOLUTE WORST PLACE I've EVER EXPERIENCED ! We started off with drinks to talk and catch up because it was my DAUGHTERS BIRTHDAY, my daughter asked for a shark bite, I asked for a hurricane and a miller lite, it took 30 minutes to get the shark bite, another 15 to get the hurricane ( that I've NEVER SEEN SERVED ORANGE, there was absolutely no alcohol in it, I took a couple of sips to be sure before asking for a manager). After another 10 minutes I asked our waitress what did I order, she replied a hurricane... Then a couple of minutes later said oh !, & a miller lite, 5 minutes later brings the beer, I asked if I could speak with a manager, 10 minutes later the manager says if I hadn't drank out of it she could have done a refund, (I guess that means that she could have given it to another customer) then goes on to explain that the only thing that she can do for me is tell them to FIX IT, then comes back 10 minutes later with what appeared to be the same glass, but topped off, only to tell me that if it's not strong enough that she can add one more shot. I take a sip, it's not & when I tell her it's not, SHE LITERALLY ROLLS HER EYES & goes to get the shot, comes back with a shot for me to put in the drink & walks off. I have never seen a manager behave this way with a customer, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE CRAFTY (CRUSTY) Crab to ANYONE EVER, UNLESS YOU LIKE BEING TREATED LIKE POORLY. Then I get up to go use the restroom and there is one stall with toilet paper that you have to literally stick your hand inside of the thing and wind the toilet paper out which took another 5-8 minutes. As I'm walking out I see the staff was SMART ENOUGH TO ORDER THEMSELVES PIZZA HUT ! Ain't that a BIT@H ! I should've spent 40bucks on pizza instead of WASTING 156.00 in this WHOLE IN THE WALL PLACE ! The food was MEDIOCRE AT BEST ! #THECRAFTYCRABSHOULDBETHECRUSTYCRAB #THECRAFTYCRABDONTDOIT #THECRAFTYCRABISTRASH #THECRAFTYCRABISAHORRIBLEPLACETOEVENFEEDYOURDOG I HATE MY BABYGIRL COULDN'T ACTUALLY ENJOY HER FOOD ! #VERYUNHAPPYCUSTOMER read more

We picked this place on a whim seeing as we both enjoy seafood. Upon entering there was a male and female employee arguing at the hostess stand. They didn't look up or greet us, we stood there awkwardly. The male started to walk away and then looking annoyed said to follow him. Ok how were we to know you were seating us as you didn't even acknowledge us. Place was pretty empty so we figured it would be quick service. Took forever for our waitress to come by like 20 min. Ordered two beers and an app. We had to wait for the app to be done to get our drinks apparently. I didn't even order any food as I was disgusted by the service. Even tho warnings on the menu, be sure you know what you're ordering as you can't send it back. Our waitress never check on us, asked if we wanted more drinks. To top it off the restroom was disgusting. Like human waste on the floor disgusting. I'll never go back. read more

Omg!!!! I knew this place was going to be good when they opened. I ordered the crab, shrimp and crawfish boil and it came with potatoes and corn. The food was outstanding the seasonings were on point. The mild selection that I had was more on the spicy side, even too spicy to enjoy. The drinks were trash not worth getting it. I ordered the blueberry lemon drop and I couldn't return it. There's no refunds nor returns on drinks. I came in around 7:30-8p and it was a 2hr wait (went straight to the bar and ate). I most definitely will be back!! read more

Service is slow. Crawfish had no flavor. Potatoes were hard. Not enough sauce. It was hard to communicate with the server. I waited 15 mins for my diet coke. He brought the wrong items to the table. The server gave himself a tip and its only four people at the table. He tried to deny me from ordering a kids meal. I won't return. I hardly write a review. read more

This place used to be one my favorites when it was first opened. In the beginning, they never missed. Every time I went I was completely satisfied. This year so far, I've been about 4 times and each time the food was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!! I've completely given up on their crawfish. I've made several attempts to return and given it another go thinking the previous time was just a bad day/night but I was so wrong. The server, including the manager were UNPROFESSIONAL!! I will not be going back. Throwing in the towel on this location. read more

This has become a new favorite for my husband, who by the way is very hard to impress. We initially went to the location in Pearland to have lunch with my family, and my husband stated that there was one not too far from our house in Humble. Both locations had fresh hit food, but the customer service was by far the best we've seen in a while at the location off 45-our server was very attentive to all off our needs and checked back with us occasionally to ensure we were ok. We've been back several times and will make this out go to place for hot and fresh seafood. read more

When I say this was the BEST crawfish I have ever had. I order their special which was 4/5 pounds of crawfish 6 corns and about 10 potatoes (fire garlic butter) (only $42 for all that food) and SMASHED it all. Only took them about 15 min to get our food out, the bartender was very attentive and very nice. Definitely going again soon! read more
