    Valentines Day Dinner with Love Boil
    Carmen F.

    One of my favorite places to go. Always a good time. Great staff. Good prices. The food is always hot. They always have specials on the boils. The drinks never disappoint. Did I say how nice and professional the staff are. No matter how busy they are which scores a lot of points with me. I have gone back several times and will continue to go

    Got to watch Sunday football here the Ravens and the Chiefs. They have a huge full wall screen. The only set back is it goes to the floor and there is a table like right in front of it, so if the play went too far to the bottom of the screen, you would end up watching the people at that table. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great as well.

    Snow Crab and Whole Shrimp Seafood Boil
    John M.

    The ambiance was a little different here, but maybe because I was there on a Tuesday night. I bet it's a happening place on a Friday through the weekend. Definitely heavy on the "sports bar" vibe. But honestly, it didn't matter. The seafood was amazing! I got the mixed boil, 1/2 pound of snowcrab legs and a 1/2 pound of whole shrimp. It was a lot of food-- but in a perfect way. I got the crafty cajun seasoning. I lived in Louisiana for 10 years. And I would classify the crafty cajun seasoning as "mild" -- it really wasn't that spicy. But nonetheless, delicous! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visit, but not for a romantic date... just for good seafood! Service was good-- fast, polite, and attentive.

    Lobster seafood boil
    Lasana S.

    My mom told me she had been craving crab legs, and we happened to drive by this Crafty Crab so it became our dinner. Parking was easy as the restaurant is in a plaza with several other restaurants and stores. We were quickly seated as we walked in and I noticed on their chalkboard that they had a Lobster special for $46! This seafood boil included a lobster tail, half a pound of crab legs, shrimp, corn, and two potatoes. We ordered it with the garlic butter sauce along with an order of hush puppies. Everything came out hot and delicious. Our server Brooklynn had a great personality and was very attentive to our table. I would definitely consider coming back to this restaurant when I'm in the area.

    We came here after a work conference and the seafood was delicious! The wait staff was super friendly and accommodated a big group of us with ease. There was plenty of places to sit and a large bar area. I highly recommend the boil- it was seasoned to perfection! The decorations and vibes in the restaurant were fun as well. If you're craving seafood definitely check this place out!

    I wanted some Floridian cuisine while I'm down here, and since this place is based in Florida, we went for it. Things started well enough, brought to our table, order went in promptly, bucket sat on our table... the bucket being standard for a seafood restaurant. I get it. Okay, so let's start with the food. Hushpuppies were decent, small but not bad for 50 cents a pop, and they came unannounced with a sauce. Problem #1: lack of announcement. I would have chosen a sauce different from the one I ordered with my meal, to have a bit of a comparison. The Boom Boom sauce is good, but ended up a bit overused. We got done, our order came out shortly after, and the waitress came out twice in short order to check on how we were doing. The second time, she brought us more water. The mussels were fine, all healthy and I enjoyed dipping them. Generous portion of cole slaw. So overall the food gets a solid 4 from me. Wish there was something spicier than just the cayenne powder they brought (read on). Next, the ambiance. It's a bit too large in there. There's a bar in the middle, and from anywhere in the house you can see everywhere in the house. Could have used lower ceilings or something to set the bar aside. It just felt empty there with a lot of space between the bar and the tables. 2.5. Service: I noted the positives above. The first negative was when I breathed a little cayenne in. I was coughing copiously, even as our waitress came to the table, but she didn't ask "are you okay?" or anything similar. Then - this is a special case here - at one point I dropped part of a mussel in the sauce-cayenne mixture and _powder splashed into my eye_. Medical emergency, and I am not joking. I jumped up, ran around with my one good eye open, and saw not a single staff member on the floor. No waitstaff. No bartender. No front greeter. I had to use my friend's ice water to begin rinsing my eye, then brought that to the bathroom to fill with warm water and keep rinsing. People at other tables were looking... but no service at all. I came out of the bathroom, dripping towels and holding a water glass to my eye, pouring water into that bucket they'd brought to the table. At this point a couple of staff were back on the floor - none of them noticed this. When our waitress returned, I told her what happened and said we needed to just take the check and go. "Do you want anything else?" "No we need to go." "Do you want the check now or...?" Canned responses. Service gets a solid 1 star, and that's unfortunate because it started so strong, including from the waitress herself. 4 + 2.5 + 1 averages right on the bubble. Since mine was a unique case I will round up, but I hope the owners notice this and do a better job having someone out on the floor at all times and looking around to check on diners _just. in. case._ You never know whose eye, or whose life, you might save. (P.S.: I think I have avoided any major damage. I typed this review with both eyes open.)

    Stopped by Crafty Crab and had a solid experience. The fried calamari was nice and crispy, and the fried shrimp with onion rings hit the spot. Service was good and everything came out quickly. It's basically fast-food style seafood, but done well. Good option when you're looking for something quick and tasty.

    OMG! Satisfying, late night dinner? Yumm. Very flavorful, service is great, got our food in less than 15 minutes, and they always check on you. You take your time when eating, nice ambiance

    Hands down the best food I had in Orlando. The food was so fresh and full of flavor. They have several locators you can choose from and the amount of heat you want. The flavor is amazing. The service was above and beyond the waiter went over the menu with us and was very patient with me asking all these questions. He was just amazing I definitely gave him a generous tip. The place is a whole vibe on its own they have fun decor a huge crab on the wall that was my favorite. This is a very family friendly place don't pass this place up. We walked in and were seated immediately they did get really busy as we were ordering. but it looked like they were seating people quickly. I will definitely be back next time i'm in orlando.

    Small Seafood Platter. Cajun Seasoning, medium heat.

    4.5-Stars. Very clean establishment! Wait staff was polite and attentive. For two adults, we shared the "Small Seafood Platter," which was the perfect amount of food. (3) halves of crab, mussels, clams, shrimp, crayfish, corn, and potato. Crabby Cajun seasoning with medium heat. Mussels were huge. Few clams were duds and did not open. Very tasty seasoning, flavorful without being overly salty. We'll be back the next time we're in the area.

    Stopped in for dinner with my family and we had a time! Our amazing waitress Brooklyn, took great care of us and provided outstanding service! The food was full of flavor. Very delicious! It came out hot, fast, and Brooklyn gave it a nice shake before plating it. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend if you're in the area, want great seafood with great service at a decent price.

    Chicken tenders and calamari

    We went to the crafty crab for our niece's 10th birthday. When you first walk in, you're met with a friendly staff and a view of the menu. Throughout the restaurant there is a lot of sea-related ornaments that help set the tone. The food was fantastic and the flavor was great. The food was served fast with great drinks. Our server was very attentive to our needs and even brought out a cake for the birthday girl! This restaurant is very seafood heavy with not many other options. My wife who's allergic to shellfish had the only option of chicken tenders. However, we enjoyed the evening and recommend this place for anyone craving seafood.

    It was my first time having a seafood boil and by far the best experience I ever had…read more From the beginning it was a Saturday night and around 7pm we had gotten to the restaurant. The parking wraps arounds and it was very busy and surprisingly finding parking wasn't that bad. When we got into the lobby the wait time was 1hr 15 mins almost 2 hours . They set you up with a text message when the table is ready. We decided to go next door to the souvenir gift shop and wasted some time there and then decided to get back to the car . It was getting closer to time and since at 9pm they stop seating. We were able to walk in and our table was ready. The menu has a lot of different options. We asked the waiter how does it work and they do describe it to you if any questions. We got the cheese sticks to order I would say I wish it was cheesier but it was still good. The house salad with ranch was decent. For my seafood boil I got shrimp headless, snow crab legs, potatoes, sausage , corn. IT WAS THE 10/10!!! I'm not a spicy or a too much seasoning person so I got the garlic butter only. It was very good and had so much butter. For the second round I got calamari , green mussels , corn ,egg, potato. The calamari was so good . And I've never had green mussels and they were delicious! And to finish it off I had a cheesecake for dessert!! Everything was great.It's all you can eat and we definitely enjoyed it to the max! can't wait to come back!! They give you tools just in case if you need it btw!

I got the Hungry Sauce medium and it was super tasty. It was A LOT of food. However, I think the name is a little deceptive. One appetizer, one seafood boil, and one dessert is all you need. I would rename it 3-course-meal. That would be a more accurate description. The place was seafood tacky. Just the ambiance you would expect from a crab shack. Our server was AMAZING. I wish I remembered her name because I would absolutely ask for her again if I go back. My bill for 3 lunches was $205. I don't feel like I got my value for the price. We ate our meals with a paper plate and plastic utensils. Again, for the price, they could give us sturdier eating elements. All in all, it was somewhere I'm glad I experienced just to say I did it. I'm not sure I would return.
