Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday with all you can eat seafood. We walked away stuff and satisfied. Service was consistent. They also had different choices for a la carte as well . Definitely a must try. read more

We met up with my sister and her boo for his birthday meal she planned. Everything was delicious. The crab legs, shrimp, crawfish and scallops were cooked well. Eat the scallops immediately though. Or they will become chewy. We tried multiple sauces, like garlic butter, some house sauce and tried different levels of heat. Wings, fried clams, crab balls, fries were all great. Drinks were good. Margarita was great. Long Island was ok, next time I'll get the top shelf Long Island. I'm sure it'll taste better. Sister had a beer, looked so cold and refreshing. Her boo had a mai tai. Said it was good as well. Will definitely be back. read more

Crazy Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I love finding All You Can Eat options. Crazy Crab in the heart of Fairfax, VA! The parking is kinda limited as it is just a small strip so you might have to walk when its busy. This spot greets you with a warm welcome from the staff. They've got a well-oiled team of servers and managers ensuring everyone's taken care of. Seating is comfortable for both small and large groups. The menu offers both All You Can Eat and a la carte options, featuring fresh seafood with garlic butter as my personal favorite. Don't forget to ask for extra butter! Plus, you can take leftovers home for a small fee, but they're big on minimizing food waste. read more

Crazy Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Try not to let the servers walk around with ipads watching nba games or playing with cell phones, instead of taking care of customer needs.

I was recently introduced to seafood boils this year and the first time I tried it out in Northern VA, I kept thinking of how awesome it would be if there was an All You Can Eat option in the area; well, there is and it's called Crazy Crab located in the heart of Fairfax,VA! The location of this restaurant is very convenient with ample parking nearby. The staff are very welcoming from the time you walk in to the time you depart. They have a team of servers whom take orders and a team of server whom make runs to the table. The managers on duty are also keeping an eye on what's happening and ensuring guests are properly being taken care of. The seating is comfortable for guests of smaller and larger groups. If you have a very large group with more than 6 people in your party, I'd call ahead to see if they could accommodate your group. The place is large enough for them to do so but they'd have to prep the area first. The menu has all you can eat options and a la cart. The food is fresh and my favorite flavor is the garlic butter. Don't forget to ask for extra butter on the side! You get a choice of appetizers in addition to your main. You can all take your left overs home for a price but their main goal is to avoid wasting food. I've already been here 2 times in the last couple months that I've found it and will be back for many more visits and highly recommend that you stop in for your next seafood outing with family and friends or just by yourself! read more

I love visiting Crazy Crab when I'm in the mood for a seafood boil. This place is all you can eat for about $60 a person. They have a variety of items such as crab legs, clams, shrimp (both head-on and headless) , mussels, sausage, potatoes, corn, and more. The seafood is fresh and plentiful. My favorite options are the snow crab legs and the clams. I also like the mussels. If you're not a seafood lover, they have additional items such as wings, fries, hush puppies, etc. You are able to order a few items at a time (3 for the non seafood items) and customize spice levels. We always get the sauces on the side as to not eat too much oil/others in our party don't like the items drenched. They are flexible with this and this allows those who have various spice preferences to be accommodated. Overall, delicious seafood and they provide bibs and gloves so your hands and clothes don't get messy. For dessert, they have ice cream. Parking is easy and this is located off route 50 a little bit down from 495. Overall, highly recommend as it's a good bang for your buck because it's all you can eat. read more

One of the best AYCE seafood boils in the area. One of the only places to serve raw oysters as well. The flavors of their sauces is one of the best I've had. read more

Do you have a craving for crabs? I just started a new craving :) That's how it makes you feel. We had the 'all you can eat', and thought such a thing exists in Indian food, Brazil beef and some well known eateries with such a menu. Now, I have crabs under my belt. The choice is plenty. (I loved the snow crab and scallop). Why the 4 stars, the butter that the crabs come with is a bit on the extra side.. and makes you full faster than necessary. Rest, still coming once a couple months for sure. read more

When your kids ask to try seafood? Specifically crawfish and crablegs? I decided to bring them here. We got the all you cab eat option. That way if they decided they didn't want seafood they would have other options and I could continue eating seafood. I figured that would be mych cheaper then playing food roulette with them and end up ordering everything Ala carte. Thank god they did like everything but they still went ham trying nevertheless possibly could. I don't mind. As long as they eat. Crawfish was fresh and not frozen always a good sign for me. I couldn't get my normal spice level since I was eating with the kids. But that's OK. They brought it out on the side for me. read more

Got food poisoning for the first time in my almost 30 years of life. Steer cautious of this place if you're in the mood for seafood.

If you're in the DMV and a seafood lover I definitely recommend Crazy Crab. I suggest the all you can eat, you'll definitely get your money's worth. Everyone at your table has to do all you can eat. It's served family style. The crazy special sauce was so good, made you want to slap somebodyyy. For your second round, I was suggest two choices. Whatever is left will be weighed and you are charged $15/lb. If it's less than a lb it's still $15. For my military folks they do a 10 % discount. They don't do reservations so expect to wait. Our wait time was 1 hour and 45 minutes but we were were called 1 hour and 30 minutes. It was worth the wait. We figured it had to be good since no one left after being told the wait time. Next time I'll probably come when they open. But it was nice spending time with my bestie and sister catching up. Kookie Review 5/5 it was worth the wait. read more

Finally made it to Crazy Crab after reading about it in a Facebook foodies group. I was all set for the all you can eat option, but when my brother and I arrived we thought one of the specials (pictured) would be more than enough food for the two of us, so we did that and got an order of hush puppies (which were great). We tried the Crazy sauce, hot on the seafood, and it was fine but I wouldn't do it again, as I feel like the garlic butter sauce (which isn't really butter) doesn't really add anything. If I were to go back I'd just get the Cajun sauce (which we got on the side for dipping this time). Of the seafood, the crab legs were my favorite, followed by the shrimp, crawfish, and mussels. I would skip the blue crab next time, as I don't find it worth the effort. read more

Perfect for a family of 5. read more

First time at crazy crab and our first impression was that it was kind of dark and loud inside. The surrounding tables and music were loud. The service was good and the food came out quickly. We like how this one had raw oysters and scallops. However for three people they have us an insane amount of oysters. Almost too much for just three people. They also gave us 10% off for our first time there which was really nice! read more

In an all you can eat environment speed definitely helps and this place was continuously bringing out the food in a very fast manner which I loved! They have such a great selection and it's nice to be able to try a little bit of everything from the appetizers to the seafood boil. I really did like the flavor of the Cajun sauce however when you get all three blended together I couldn't really taste the difference. The seafood was hot when it came out, but I had a problem with the crab legs and blue crabs being cooked very inconsistently as some were completely mushy on the inside. Sad to say but the sweet potato fries were my favorite as they were extremely crispy and had a delicious flavor. Oysters were super great deal with how meaty they were. Price versus food quality I really think it should be priced closer to $48. Although not a huge price jump I still think it should be lowered just a little bit. read more

We got the garlic butter crawfish, mild. It tasted very fishy compared to other places I've been. And the garlic butter flavor wasn't strong. There was not a lot of butter/sauce/juice in the pan. I don't think it was fresh. I gave it 2 stars because the person I was with liked it, but personally I would not return for the crawfish. read more

Top-notch service from Josue from the moment we sat down to when we finished our dinner! Everything was perfect, by far our favorite seafood restaurant if you want the all-you-can-eat option.

This spot is perfect for seafood lovers. They serve seafood boils with a few flavors and they come with appetizers as well. The all you can eat price is not bad at all however don't think you can just eat all day, there's a 2 hr limit per table. There is also a charge per pound for any uneaten food. We choose to try the boils which were great, I would order them again. I wasn't impressed by the scallops but everything else was pretty good. Location This spot is located in a small shopping center so parking is limited however you can find a spot while you wait. I don't believe it is accessible by public transportation so prepare to drive or catch a ride. read more

The food here is amazing and, if you go with the all you can eat option, it's basically endless. Sure, it can be considered on the pricey side, as it's currently at about $60 for the all you can eat option, but that also includes a soft drink and dessert. I've eaten here multiple time and have never left room for desert though! The seafood is just too much and tastes too good to leave room for desert. The oysters are great. They are part of the appetizer selection. The calamari is also a good option to go with for an app. You get to pick three seafood items and the level of seasoning you want to have on them. Once you are about finished with your first serving, you can order a second serving with the same or different items. The service has always been good. You are greeted as soon as you walk in and will be seated quickly. The wait staff will periodically check up on you while you're eating and get you whatever you need. The place is really casual. You will be eating with your hands and you will have the option of using plastic gloves and I plastic bib. Probably more like extremely casual. If you love great seafood and can handle a lot in one sitting, then this is a place you need to try. If you're not into the all you can eat option, they also have a regular menu you can order items from. The regular menu is available for both dine in and take away. read more

Eh. A lot left to be desired. Went here for dinner with three others so we were a table of 4. With that being said, it wasn't even that busy of a night but the service was possibly the worst you could possibly get at a restaurant. For how not slow it was, I was shocked. The server came by the take the initial order and then never came back again while the food runners brought out the drinks and food. And yes, never once received a refill on the drinks either. What was shocking was that we opted for the all you can eat option which means they have to come receive your next order so you can order again, but they never came back so honestly after tyring to find and chase down the server, we just left. I wouldn't go back. Food quality was average at best as well. read more

I've been here a couple times but I don't get service to the back of the restaurant so forgot to leave a review! The waiter service in restaurant is great, they're attentive and clean up is quick. The manager is also very friendly and is on the floor most times I've visited! It's also a very clean restaurant, no fishy smell indoors and they have smartly placed sinks outside the restroom stalls for quick clean up after eating. The snow crab boil is delicious and it's well priced. I have returned and would return again! read more

We went on Mother's Day. It was jam packed. We put our names on the waitlist at 6pm we finally was sat at a table at 7:45pm yes an hour and 45 minutes. while all that sounds horrible I can honestly say it was worth the wait. The food was delicious however I wouldn't recommend the crabs they were so small and difficult to enjoy, the scallops were very chewy but everything else was absolutely delicious. They gave all the mother's a free glass of champagne which was highly enjoyable with the meal. I wouldn't recommend going on a holiday unless you eat something before you go and don't mind waiting. The bathroom was a bit unsanitary but I did think it was unique that they had sinks to clean your hands outside of the restrooms. Also the tip is added automatically to your bill. just fyi. read more

Great food and great, friendly service. I think our server name was David and was very friendly and attentive. The owner of the restaurant is very friendly also.

I definitely recommend it and would like to go back read more

A relatively laid-back Cajun buffet located in the same plaza as fan-favorite Korean barbecue and sushi restaurants. (Both the Qui and Sushi Cho are both highly-rated neighboring contenders.) It wasn't packed when all three of us arrived, which made for good service. We were seated immediately on a Tuesday at 4pm and thus kicked off the $60 AYCE with (3) Ginger Ales. Everything is great to try once -- I noticed that ordering everything in *half* portions kept the food hot, and smaller platters definitely felt easier to eat because we weren't slugging through a mountain of protein. We opted for the "Crazy Special" sauce at medium spice level -- a mix of Cajun, Garlic Butter, and Lemon Pepper. It was great to try, and brought an addictive salty-butteriness to the meal, but after four platters... And seven platters.... Should've changed it up. - The Snow Crab is fun to demolish but takes time. Quality was kind of bad but consistent; the meat sticks to the shell and there isn't much, but it's easy to break á la Strong Hands and Teeth. - Mussels (points for being SO easy to eat) were lovely: Black mussels tend to be more on the smaller and tender side, while Green mussels (a buffet favorite) are chewier and hearty. - Manilla and Surf Clams follow a similar route. I found that the best use of my time was just shoveling mussels and clams in my mouth. They are quick to de-shell, thus I can eat them without worrying about my untouched platter getting too cold. - Oysters looked good but did not taste ok. read more

This place is poppin! My husband and I came here as a recommendation from a friend. My husband loves seafood. I like it if I I'm in the mood. We ordered all you eat. The food is served family style. We ordered snow crab legs, mussels, and shrimp as our choices for the first round (there are three rounds)! The crab legs were full of meat and cooked to perfection. We also had a long list of choices from the appetizer list. We chose mozzarella sticks, crab balls, and fried calamari all were hot, fresh, and delicious! Also, the we were able to choose from three different sauces to coat our seafood. They didn't get 5 stars because I chose the garlic sauce. I like garlic but geesh, that was just too much garlic! I could not wash that smell off my hands no matter what I tried. I wore the gloves they gave me too. I will definitely return but I will not choose the garlic sauce. My husband however had no complaints. Oh our waiter was extra nice and very helpful when it came to making our choices from the list of food. read more

I love garlic but it IS possible to use too much and this place proves it. I've never had a worse seafood experience than this place. I will say our server did a good job but the food was horrible. Every item on each tray of 3 selections tasted exactly the same. Furthermore I'm not a fan of their policy of everyone at the table is required to order the all-you-can-eat if any one person wants it. We had 5 people at our table, everyone ordered the ayce, but only 3 selections at a time are allowed. So the table has to agree on what to order. To add insult to injury the bill was $428 (that included one $26 bucket of 6 bottles of Modelo) read more

This place seasoning is on the saltier side. If you like salty and a lot of garlic. This is it! Seasoning was drenched in every piece of seafood. The shrimps were not as firm, but they are still good to my standard. Lobster tails were good. It was not too soft. Meat was firm. Overall, I love the seasoning here. Their service was awesome. The waiter came to check on us a few times. They greeted us and tried to accommodate our parties. Thank you. read more

Upon walking in. It's a two door glass environment. One glass door kept locked at all times down to a one door environment. There is a small waiting area inside of the two to one door setup. This however is a MAJOR FIRE HAZARD since it's the only exit and the back door is blocked. **SEE PICS** Upon entering you're greeted and asked for your phone number to be placed on a waiting list. Which was weird since there was CLEARLY some empty tables in the corner. So I suspect they're using the tactic of "If you have to wait for the food. It must be good". They said it would be a 50min wait. We got a text like 10min later. Lol. Upon entering back inside. We had to squeeze thru people just to get back in the door. **SEE PICS** MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. After being seated. We got menus and ordered. Everything is unlimited but Alcohol and desserts both of which were overpriced. After waiting nearly 40min we finally got the crabs to which everyone agreed were loaded with WAY TOO MUCH OIL. When biting into the meat part of the snow crab a mountain of oil came out of the crabs which was very disgusting. **SEE PICS** Upon asking for less oil and NO liquid butter. They brought more crabs to the table after about 20min. Still DROWNED in oil. My friends ate SOME. I didn't eat anymore of the drowned crabs. I called the server back over and then asked for NO OIL, NO BUTTER OR ANY OIL OF ANY KIND. 15min later they returned with more oiled down crabs despite being clearly asked NO OIL OF ANY KIND. It was so much oil. One of my friends hands were soaked in oil. **SEE PICS** We then ordered Buffalo Wings which weren't bad. The fried shrimp was loaded with grease and Crab balls were burned to hell. They were so burned they were very black. **SEE PICS** We then asked for drink refills to which we had to ask numerous times until they finally refilled us. Upon ordering more crabs I had to explain in very precise words. NO OIL. NO GREASE. NO SAUCE OR OIL OF ANY KIND. To which they finally complied when they brought the new order of crabs out after 15min. The UNMODIFIED crabs weren't bad and were actually bigger then the oiled down ones since they're weren't SOGGY. At this point the manager we could see started eyeballing our table since we ordered UNMODIFIED snow crabs to which since they're not oiled down. People can eat a lot of them very fast since it's PURE CRAB MEAT. Overall. Not a very good experience. Their tactics here to prevent people from eating a lot of crabs is CLEARLY TRYING TO LOAD EVERYONE UP ON OIL. Which when eaten. Expands inside of the body thus resulting in people filling full even after eating only one tray of food. This was confirmed when I seen other tables paying for unlimited and eating not even one tray of crabs and some even complaining about the oil too. The overall general crowd was mainly adults. Not really that many kids really. Some teenagers. Normal Class. The overall noise level was normal for a seafood environment. They could've use more lighting though. They do have TV's too. The ventilation was good due to the AC being on and working good. Lastly. The bathrooms DO NOT have a automatic soap dispenser but rather a pump system from a "dollar store" brand soap dispenser. Not even commercial which has stronger antibacterial compounds inside. This is weird for a food environment since a hand pump can spread germs VERY FAST since everyone is touching the pump. Overall. Probably NEVER AGAIN. read more

Cravings for crabs and cajun seafood had us searching for nearby restaurants and found Crazy Crab. We ordered the Crazy Crab deluxe from the menu and drove 20 minutes to pick up the food. The food was steaming out of the bag and was excited to take back home. However, when we got home and opened the lid, they left out the half pound sausage so we called to let them know. They told me to comeback to pick up so I drove back 20 minutes only to find out that nobody knew about the missing sausage. I had to explain the situation to two different people and still had to wait over 15 minutes with no apology. Food was great, a bit salty but we added more potatoes we had at home to lessen the saltiness. The service need to improve and an apology for any mistakes would be much appreciated. read more

Did the all you can eat option of course. Love crab legs. The crab legs are the small ones but as long as you keep getting them it adds up. Only got the sauce once and then stuck with just steamed. The oysters are huge. The fried stuff is kinda overcooked. The crawfish was a no for me. Basically had everything with and without sauce. Ended up going round for round with the crab legs til it hurt to walk and breathe. The price is moderately high but you make up for it by overeating. read more
