I love and crush crabs for a living... it is rumored that I sat and crushed 25 blue crabs in one sitting... 4 hours... stab wounds all over my finger... so I am a glutton for seafood... The price tag of $46.95 was pretty high for all you can eat... not because of the lack of volume being offered, but because of the quality of the seafood being offered. The fresh oyster, snow crab legs and shrimp with the head attached is pretty good. The appetizers and sides are generally fried and great for kids but you don't come here to eat that... so limit your consumption! But because all kids under 3 feet tall are free... the appetizers are great for their meal! The stone crab was horrible on my visit... the freezing and thawing destroyed its flesh and so the texture was like it was blended in sea water... so watery and powdery.... it was nasty! I hope they address this for the future. For the price, I wanted to be blown away... but I'll try to come back to see if there are any improvements in the near future. read more

Updated Review: Second visit was not as great as the second visit. Arrived at 9p after driving almost an hour to get there. I had hyped up the place so much and tried my best get back as quickly as I could. This time I had three friends come to witness what I had, unfortunately they did not get the 5 star experience I did. We arrived to learn that all you can eat ends at 8p and the kitchen closes at 9:30 so everything would be a la carte. This was very disappointing, because this is not listed on their website and after driving for an hour expecting all you can eat this was disappointing. So we sat for 15 minutes with no service, no one came to say hi or get drinks. We approached someone and then they sent the waiter that walked passed us 3 times. Now having only 15 minutes left before the kitchen closed we were rushed to place an order. Our food did not come out at the same time and we waited for everyone to be served. We were eating and suddenly the TVs went off, then the music, and the subtle get out was felt. We were disappointed overall and suddenly the drive didn't seem worth it. Later found out that one of my friends got sick from just eating shrimp. Hook and Reel offers a la carte with faster service and is much closer. All the thumbs up!!! This place was GREAT! I made a reservation and they were able to accommodate my party of 6. The selection was great and offered something for everyone. There were 3 types of crab, chicken, and sides. You select your food, flavor and spice level and they serve the food family style. It is all you can eat and the food just kept coming and coming. Only one complaint about the corn on the cob. It was not warmed thoroughly and was cold to the bite. The goodness of the crab and the all you eat factor over shadowed the cold corn. I will definitely return and bring a friend or two! It is worth the drive to Fairfax!! read more

After having this place bookmarked forever, finally got to try them out with my friends. We did all you can eat and destroyed 4 trays of seafood. Snow crab legs, blue crab, crawfish, clams, shrimp, raw mussels...RIP. The food was good and very worth it, if you can eat a lot :) They have a good variety of seafood and sauces. I don't know if they would be the best cajun seafood place in our area, but they are a solid option and the only all you can eat place I know of. Service here was excellent as well. read more

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

Ok, there's been big hype over this place, so I finally took a dive into it. We ordered the all you can eat.. good concept if you want to try it all, but you have to have a big appetite! While the appetizers were good, the seafood was not bad either. Crab legs quite small though, which was a bummer. And I would not recommend this for small children.. our 4year old was charged $30.. and probably ate 4 small crab legs. The next time we would stick with ordering from the regular menu. O did I mention.. to take the leftovers, it's a charge of $15 per Pound! read more

Crazy Crab - All You Can Eat. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

My friends and I decided to try this AYCE seafood boil place. We went right before the lockdown happened for COVID19. If you're in the mood for a lot of seafood, this place is for you. The food was good, however didn't see as fresh as an a la carte places. I also preferred more of the bland or subtle sauces because it was pretty salty after some time. The customer service was pretty poor, we waited about 30 mins for water. We had to repeat our orders multiple times for it to come out. We had ordered a 2nd order of fried calamari, however it never came out until we had paid and were on our way out. It also took 30 mins for the server to collect our bill and other 15 mins for our cards. It seemed like it was low staffed, but our server was pretty much MIA after a bigger party arrived. Probably wouldn't try again, but if you care more for quantity then this is it! read more

Come during their lunch special, only M-F, 12PM-3PM, where you can get all-you-can-eat (sans crab legs), for $30! That's right, $30 for AYCE shrimp, Maryland blue crabs, stone crab, mussels (black ones are way better than the green), and many other goodies. I honestly don't think the normal price of $50 is worth it so find a way to make it here during the week for an amazing seafood experience at a decent price! I recommend against the sweet potato fries (could taste the frozenness or just wasn't cooked well enough) and the green mussels (the black ones just taste way better). You can order up to 3 appetizers and 3 seafood items at once. The seafood comes all on one tray and has to be cooked in the same flavor/spiciness level. They're pretty clear about their policy about wasting food but even without that, just don't be a jerk face food waster. I'm a fan. read more

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

TL;DR: Good service, good food, I love AYCE I had put off coming here for a while due to mixed reviews online and from some of my friends. However, there was one day where I was just craving crab legs like crazy, and I wanted a lot of it. It definitely seemed like this place is hit or miss, depending on when you go. My boyfriend had been before, and he said it was decent. So figured I'd give it a try. We came around 5pm on a Friday to avoid a crowd on the weekend. We were seated and our server was very friendly and attentive. Any time I go into a buffet or all you can eat place, I really really don't expect the quality to be the best of the best, but this place was pretty good! For the first round, we got snow crab, mussels, and shrimp. The sauce was SO GOOD. The cajun seasoning and chunks of garlic, mixed with the butter, and just enough spice. My boyfriend said it was even better than the last time he came. We also ordered assorted fried foods, and again, manage your expectations. There was heavy breading, but could definitely taste the seafood underneath. The hush puppies were so good too. Our 2nd round, we got more assorted seafood, but the sauce wasn't as good or mixed up well enough. So a little inconsistent there. Overall, I really liked this place. It does have a steep price, but for what you're getting, it isn't too bad! Sometimes, you just want quantity over quality. Especially if the quality is still pretty good. read more

I can't say enough about the food here. It's absolutely outstanding. All you can eat seafood. They serve huge bag full of of shrimp, crawfish, green and black mussels, large scallops corn and so much more. We literally ate 5 huge bags full of seafood. What an awesome experience!!! read more

The waitress came in and explained the menu, gave us water and then came back to take the order. The business itself is rather small on the inside. There are tables and booths all around. As soon as you walk in, you'll see the hostess stand in the middle with the restaurant to the right. The food was really good. The shrimps were a little backed up but the flavor was still amazing. I would definitely come back and try them again. The crawfish were over cooked but really flavorful. It comes with unlimited sodas and unlimited seafood for the whole table. With a group of three, we were only able to complete two trays of food. Definitely worth the price. read more

Service here is good! We were seated and our server answered all ok questions because it was the first time we dined in. We ordered one of the combos and did the build your own combo. I love how you can chose to have half a pound of the seafood of your choice and mix and match as you please versus getting a whole pound of something. The freedom to try multiple things was a big selling point for us. We tried the mild spice, and couldn't even taste any spice so if when we go back, we definitely will get medium. The seafood was great, I just wish the Cajun flavor really spoke through the food like the food back home in Texas is. The flavor of the seasoning here is very light compared to the seafood boils you'd get down south. So if you're looking for that, unfortunately this place isn't it. However I was still very happy with my meal and will come back someday. 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

i've put this review off for long enough!! it's time to get into it. i used to be a HUGE crazy crab lover bc i went often with my seafood loving family. my boyfriend never had crawfish so i thought to take him to crazy crab for some crawfish!! we asked for the A Là Carte menu instead of the AYCE. trust me when i say, ALC is better than AYCE.. service: we got sat down pretty quickly for a table of two! it was still pretty busy but we. got lucky with a clear table!! we had a lovely server who introduced themself as Christine. she was very nice and attentive. however, she did make one odd remark but i will give her the benefit of the doubt. probably just wanted to converse w/ us [the customers] for a good note! food: calamari didn't disappoint per usual. it was tender, crispy outside, soft inside. it wasn't too chewy -- needless to say, it was the perfect bite. the sauce was ok but calamari itself was good enough :)) for our first tray we ordered: 2lbs crawfish, corn, potatoes, 1/2lb clam and snow crab legs. we ordered the spicy sauce, i wont lie i forgot the name cause usually i order the garlic butter. very disappointed anyways, because IT WASNT SPICY AT ALL!! it tasted just like the garlic butter sauce.... the crawfish also lacked flavor and were too soft. now i can't believe how wrong you can go with corn, but it was too soft and hard to enjoy. potatoes were probably the only perfect thing on the first platter. clams. idek where to start. it was actually pretty good but there were a few unopen clams. BEWARE: UNOPEN CLAMS MEANS DEAD OR ROTTEN. i found out the really hard way. it was genuinely hard to enjoy my food after i spat the rotten clam out. ok lastly for the first platter, snow crab legs were just ok too. lacked a lot of meat. since we were still hungry and wanted to give it a second chance, we ordered 1/2 or 1lb king crab legs, crawfish, corn, potatoes, and lobster tail, with garlic butter sauce this time, since the "spicy" sauce was a bummer. the KC legs were very salty and ALSO lacked meat. it felt like a scam. lobster tail was almost rubber like but still pretty good. crawfish had a lot more flavor and of course, lemon always helps. the corn was better this time around, but some pieces were still soft. potatoes were top notched. our whole bill came out to be $150-160 for two people excluding tip & tax. i will most likely only come back with only my family if they ever crave Crazy Crab again... read more

Great value and you get your seafood fix. At least when you pay, you get to eat. Just don't be wasteful and you will have a good experience. I go to this restaurant to satisfy my seafood fix. read more

My husband and I heard about this place from a friend. Christina our waitress was head and shoulders above any waitress or waiter we've had for a while. The food was absolutely delicious with generous portions. We got the, 'All You Eat' and oh my! We will definitely be going back If you need a seafood fix, THIS is the place to go! And don't forget to get the, 'Crab balls'! Ohhhh, the sauces are also worth mentioning. Ohhhh soooo awesome! Thank you, Christina, we will see you soon! read more

If you love fresh seafood this is the place for you! The quality of the steamed seafood was great. The shrimp were clean even though they are not split you don't see a vein. The texture of the scallops were perfect, cooked to perfection not over cooked. The variety is the best I've ever experienced for a ayce seafood restaurant. You have a choice of three groups of food to choose from, steamed, fried, and sushi (raw). I came with a party of four friends, came in and was seated right away. The tables are set apart which gives the right amount of space to be messy and eat yourself into a food coma if you want. The time limit is two hours and that works well because within the first hour you will be full. The service was good, our server was very attentive and friendly. He was friendly and professional he had jokes and was able to take a good joke. The atmosphere was clean and free of the odor that you normally associate with an ayce seafood restaurant. What you are able to smell are the spices used in the steamers, never was it overwhelming. There was no problem with parking, and they have outside seating for warm afternoons. The stars of the food were the crab balls , sweet potato fries, scallops, dungeons crab claws , fried and steamed shrimp. Now why I did not give five stars. The steamed food was overwhelmed by the sauce or oil the covered it. This made everything taste the same and the textures of the foods blended together so you don't enjoy the different natural flavors of each different food. All my friends stated this was the best seafood they had in a while and they would be willing to return. I'll be back! read more

This place took me about 45 minutes to get to from where I live, but the ride & the 30 minute wait to be seated was well worth it!!! My appetizers & main course for round 1 was sweet potato fries, hush puppies, fried clams, snow crab legs, scallops & shrimp in medium garlic butter. EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT you guys!!! Nothing disappointed. It's all you can eat for the entire table but we were only able to do 1 round. My favorite was the clams. The snow crab clusters were meaty, tender and sweet. In my mind I thought we'd be able to do at least 2 rounds but we were both stuffed. We had to take some of round 1 home. The tables weren't too close together with socially distanced seating if you're worried about that. Seating is available outside as well. Food is excellent. Alcohol is available. Staff very nice & polite. TV's all around. You'll love it but as always my experience may vary from yours. This place is DEFINITELY worth a try if you're a seafood lover and have a larger appetite than us. read more

Came here on the weekend before the dinner rush. The place is smaller than I expected but still very comfortable and clean. The service was good and the food pretty comparable to other seafood stores of this type. I got the blue crab and snow crab legs as well as the fried clams. Everything tasted excellent. We definitely liked how you can order a half pound instead of whole pounds which is unique here. Lastly I parking isn't plentiful here so I would definitely plan on coming on off hours. read more

Carry me out of a wheelchair why don't ya.... god have mercy on my soul. I am left not only feeling full as f*ck but happy and satisfied. My ass was so hungover today and my roommate asks me to get crabs with her so I said ya why not? Who would have thought I would leave in utter happiness... I get there kinda crabby (yes pun intended lol) because I felt so shitty and dizzy and weak. But after consuming the boat load of phenomenal food, I am ALIVE. I am woke af and my hangover is GONE let me tell you. The amount of food you get for the all you can eat deal is actually insulting & quite frankly you need psychiatric help if you DON'T take advantage of it. Oh yeah.... wait for it... THEY GIVE YOU A DESERT cup at the end!!!!! *mind blown* like WHAT?! I'm in the back seat of my roommates car writing this review about to go home and sit my fat ass on the couch and look back on the lovely memories of the evening. Thank you crazy crab.

Been going here for years but tonight's dinner (early Mother's Day celebration) took the cake! The customer service has been an improvement the last couple times we've been here. But today a gentleman (who appears to be an owner/manager) took the time to get us settled and ordered. Not only did he provide a "Mother's Day gift" to our mom, but he was so charming and funny to talk to! read more

Wow, love this place!!!! My boyfriend and I went during lunch hours for AYCE seafood and fried goodies. I think the quality of the seafood was pretty good, but the fried food was ok at best. I love the presentation of the seafood. My boyfriend and I always ordered the shrimp head on, mussels, and crawfish. For the sauce, we ordered the medium spice level, but it wasn't even that spicy. It was more like a mild! Also, at one point, the sauce got TOO buttery tasting and we got sick of it. So PRO-TIP, order the seafood without sauce and get some butter on the side. It will make you feel less full and indulge in more seafood. YUM. Service was good. Kept checking back on us if we needed anything! You can only order 3 fried food and 3 seafood at a time. Food comes out relatively fast too. read more

For anyone looking to eat seafood you should give crazy crab a try. I initially went on a weekday and got seated right away. We asked to sit outside which they accommodated. They have an AYCE option which comes out to be around $50. This includes everything on their ayce menu, soft drinks and dessert. Seems like a great deal to me! You can make as many orders as you want and everything comes out family- style. We got the snow crab legs, crawfish and shrimp. Everything came out relatively fast the first round, but unfortunately our group got jipped the following rounds. We order another round and some how it never made it to the kitchen. After twenty minutes we were old the table next to us actually got served our order. Another fifteen minutes goes back and our food comes out. At this point we were already full since the Cajun seasoning can be a lot. Overall, quality and price deserve the 4 stars! read more

Crazy Crab - Two appetizers and the first round of ayce! Ig: Table4tu - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Crazy about Crazy Crab My first visit to "Crazy Crab" Fairfax was a good one! My husband and I had the all you can eat, which is served for the table Cajun crab boil style on a platter. We enjoyed snow crab legs, shrimp, onion rings, crab balls, hush puppies. There's a lot to choose from and a good price for all you can eat. I will definitely be going back! Good service by the staff. The place had a nice vibe with music going and multiple tv screens. read more

Pretty good spot! I was initially really worried about this place being affiliated with the"Happy Ending Restaurant Group" who has the Arlington Chasin' Tails location which I found horrific. Come to find out they aren't! Pretty impressed with what this place has to offer. You can choose the unlimited option for a set price and are able to choose from anything on the menu, as much as you'd like. Pro Tip: don't fill yourself up with their endless sides (even though it may be tempting). Your best bet is to honestly just order rounds of crab legs before touching the sides. I must however say, the crab balls, clam chowder, calamari and mozzarella sticks were BOMB. Also super surprisingly, their sashimi was incredible quality. Did not expect it from an "all-you-can-eat" type place but boy was it fresh and delicious (even the wasabi was quality and actually had a hell of a KICK to it)! Service: for as busy as this place has been, they had pretty speedy service and were clearly able to flip tables fast. My boyfriend and I took our time and were probably at the restaurant for about an hour and a half before leaving (no rush to get us out which was nice). Throughout our meal we had various requests for small things such as butter, salt and extra gloves which were all given very quickly upon request. My only CON is that because the mains (I.e. muscles, scallops, crab legs, shrimp etc.) are boiled with corn, potato and andouille all of our crab legs were over cooked. It got to a point where it was so difficult scraping the meat off of the shell walls that we honestly gave up. Pro Tip: When they bring your bag of boil out, they double bag it and twist the bag closed so their not leaking juices. AS SOON AS your plastic bag gets to the table, open it to stop the cooking process! Will likely make a trip back to check out this spot, as long as they keep the unlimited price reasonable! They are new but I hope they stay true to their business model and keep all of the variety of options on their unlimited menu. read more

Started out great. Got in and sat in a timely manner. Got the luxury meal for 4 grand teens, hubby and I. Then service went downhill like a greased pig on a slip n slide. He never came back to refill our drinks. Waited 30 min to have our check brought. Then he asked if we needed refills when 4 of us we're already out in the truck waiting. It was a bit disappointing having to give an 18% tip (TIP= TO INSURE PROMPTNESS) yet there was nothing after our order was delivered that was prompt. read more

I noticed the word "CRAB" from across the street! Yes, my usual visit to Captain Pells introduced me to the opening of Crazy Crab. They are within a stones throw away(across the street). After following their Facebook page, I discovered the introduction of their AYCE options. Starting on August 20, they were offering $39.99 for nearly everything on their menu except for prime items like Lobster, Dungeoness Crabs and pricier seafood items. They provide you with their AYCE menu. They will take 3-4 orders at a time and serve it family style. The fried food was delicious and served hot. Their seafood bags: crabs, scallops, and accompanying fillers(corn, sausage) were good. The blue crabs were TINY but the meat on the tiny crabs were hefty. We tried several of their spices and enjoyed the garlic butter over the spiced seasonings. They did not have the Manila clams or stone crabs... There was a nice selection of sashimi that many of our group enjoyed. Service was fantastic. We asked if dessert was included and the manager let us try their beignets and gave us free ice cream cups. They are not Captain Pells. They are more in line with Chasing Tails. It's a real bargain for the $39.99. Kids are either half price or free. They have plastic bins and lots of utensils. The napkins are a bit skimpy and I would recommend big paper towels rolls because the bags are full of liquid. You won't have any stomach space to eat everything on the menu. There is something for everyone. If you don't like seafood they have fries and chicken. read more

This is the spot if you are craving for some seafood. I only go here when there is a special deal for all you can eat seafood. It is around $45-50/person. There is a cheaper price for lunch which is around $35, I think, but it doesn't include snow crab legs. When I eat there, the service was a little slow but I guess it was because there was only 1 server (pre-covid). The food was on point amazing. Everything on the menu for seafood was fresh. I tried the snow crab legs,green mussels, scallops, craw fish, and clams. I definitely recommend all the stuff I tried except the clams, everything was so fresh tasting. The scallops are huge and it is so sweet and tender (like how it is supposed to taste fresh). The mussels is super delicious too, and the snow crab was just full of meat. I really like the seafood itself but I didn't like the sauce. We originally tried the combo sauce and it was really buttery and salty, (maybe skip this and try a different sauce). Then we asked for different flavor but the server kept giving us the same flavor which was a bum. We didn't complain because we couldn't reach the server because he was gone. The server never ask us how the food was and didn't check up on us. We went for lunch and it was slow. Only 3 tables were there at the time (including us) and the service was slow so I couldn't imaging how it would be if it was crowded. We also tried the clam chowder, which is good but it is a little thick. The fried shrimp is super good so make sure to give it a try. The fry onion is good too, but I just hope the batter is lighter for all of the fried food. I also wish they give you hand wipes or something to clean your hand afterward before you wash your hand so it is less messy. I know there are gloves but your hands still get messy. Overall, very good seafood if you're craving for some, definitely come back to this place especially when there is all you can eat deal. read more

I came here with some serious seafood diners. This place is AYCE seafood, fried finger food, and sashimi. We had everything from the crabs, shrimp, mussels, sea scallops, clams, oysters, wings, and sashimi. Seafood was delicious and seasoned well. I have to admit the flavor at Hot N Juicy is a little better, but eating all of this seafood compensates for that. You know when you go to crab spot and the crabs are super small. You definitely don't get that here. Food comes out really quick. Our server was great. Drinks, tin cans and our tables were taken care of every couple of minutes. Even though they opened a couple of weeks ago you can't tell. Even though its a buffet they don't try to skimp you with the portions. Bags are filled with food, trays of raw oysters and sashimi came out every time. The restaurant is run really well and kept clean. Sushi here is no joke. Salmon, yellowtail and tuna are a must order! Our waiter told us the seafood comes in every day. That's probably why everything is so fresh. I'd definitely stop by Monday through Thursday when they have the buffet. read more

Went here for their AYCE dinner menu option (currently their only option to pick) early afternoon on a weekday. Place not too crowded. Server was very friendly and attentive- always checking up on me. I liked how they were able to steamed the snow crab legs for me without seasoning. Also liked how the usual corn, potatoes and sausage does not need to be included with each order. Snow crabs quality is good but not Captain George's great but i guess good enough for an AYCE seafood place in the DMV area. The sea scallops and the cocktail shrimp was decently sized and out of all the seafood i tasted, it seems pretty fresh. Also got the fried calamari and clam strips-- was alright since i doubt it was house made and at least the batter wasnt too salty. Only downside is the price since its a bit steep @ $46.95 per person. Would come back! Pro tip: if you too lazy like me to peel your shrimp, get the cocktail shrimp and just dip it in the boil sauce instead-- almost same thing as getting the boiled in seasoning headless shrimp. read more

I can say that they have already mastered the time to cook each seafood and I appreciate that. We got the Crazy Crab mix. Very tasty lots of garlic which I love! The snow crab legs shell is very soft, not sure why? Overcooked? Too salty as well. I think when boiling crab legs, you are not supposed to salt it since they are naturally salty. Shrimp is very good!! Perfectly cook! Raw oysters taste clean. Hubby loved the crawfish, fresh and perfectly cook. read more

Food: 5/5. Service: 5/5. Environment: 4/5 Environment: the place is pretty decent size. They have some space between each tables due to Covid-19. No reservation need it but I recommended to come early before busy hours. We got there around like 4:30 by 5 the place is pack and some have to sit outside. The place is nice and fill with sea decorations. One thing I got bother is flies pretty much flying around a lot. I think because the smell of seafood attracts them. They have some buckets on table for trash or seafood shells which nice. Food: they had all you can eat for September which is great and it lead me here. The oyster was amazing we order at least like 5 times. Calamari not very good, pretty small and tons of flour over it. Hushbaby was ok not the best just flour balls not much garlic favor. We went to other place and they the best hushbaby ever. The smell of garlic and whatever favor in there make me want to order again and again. I'm not a big fan of husbaby balls till I tried them. Friesd fish was pretty decent. Don't recommend chowder soup for sure. The seafood like blue crabs, crawfish, crab leg, scallop, mussels were good. I like the Cajun sauce here but they did have a lot of garlic it numb my tongue a bit. The other sauce they have which all favor wasn't good too oily and no favor. They give ice cream for desert, very stand ice cream but still nice. Overall, the food was good. Services: they do check on us sometimes. Friendly and honest. One thing I dont like is parking space. They don't have a lot of space so if it busy then it really hard to find one spot. I would come back when I miss seafood again. Highly recommended. read more

Three of us stopped by on a weekday evening due to a sudden seafood craving and there was no wait for us to be seated. We ate off the ala carte menu because the AYCE seemed too much for us, and we made the right decision because they give you a LOT of food. We got 2 lbs of snow crab legs, 1lb of headless shrimp, 1lb of the manila clams w/ a mix of the cajun & garlic butter; it also came with some corn cobs, sausages and potatoes. And oh my gosh, everything was so g o o d. We were shocked at how perfectly seasoned everything was. Nothing was overly salty or bland. The highlight was definitely the shrimp, which was sweet and plump. The only downside was we ordered a side of the steamed rice & it smelled/tasted spoiled. We let our waiter know and ordered a side of calamari instead, which he ended up giving to us for free due to the rice problem. While service was a bit slow near the end (it was around closing time), everything came out relatively quickly and we didn't have any major problems with service. We'll definitely be back for round two! read more

Crazy Crab - 2lbs of snow crab legs, 1lb of manila clams, 1lb of headless shrimp with sausages, corn & potatoes in a mix of cajun sauce + garlic butter - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Food and service were good. However, what really spoiled our experience was that it was not made clear that gratuity was included on the check for our party. There was a large section on the receipt asking us to select our tip percentage after the included gratuity which felt a bit underhanded. We are not upset about having left additionally gratuity, but the lack of transparency in this discouraged us from ever returning. read more

This place is a disappointment! My friends and I decided to give Crazy Crab a try. The "all you can eat" deal is what caught our attention! Unfortunately, the all you can eat option is unavailable at this time due to Covid. In lieu of the all you can eat option, they are currently offering seafood combos at "discounted" prices. We decided to get two of the Crazy Crab Luxury Special Combo which included 5lbs of snow crab legs, 2lbs of king crab legs, 1lb of shrimp, 1lb of mussels, 2 lobster tails, corn, potatoes, sausage and two starters. We got the "Crazy Special" sauce mild. There was NOTHING special about this sauce. It was disgusting! It was terribly bland, greasy and garlic heavy (which is crazy because I love garlic). In addition to the nasty sauce, the shrimp was over cooked and mushy and the weight of the seafood was inaccurate. We were completely missing our king crab legs. When we complained about not having an adequate amount of food, the manager came out and checked our buckets to ensure that we had not eaten the food already. He then says, "you're right, that isn't enough crab. They brought out another pound of snow crab even though we were missing the king crab legs. The combo also included 2 starters. Our starters which included clam strips, wings, and 2 orders of hush puppies we all over cooked and almost burnt. Our waiter was nice but was not at all attentive and would go missing for extended periods of time. I am so terribly disappointed. We all traveled an hour to try Crazy Crab and could have gotten way better food and service right at home. Save your money and time. If you want a good seafood boil go to Rock & Toss, Crafty Crab or just make it yourself! read more

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

Me and my friend went here one night they served us cold seafood they never took our fried part of the all you can eat order the waitress was rude as hell DONT GO HERE!!! read more

Ordered pick up a few months back, no scallops in the bag. Called and was told I was wrong because his employee said they put it in. Hilarious, because I didn't receive them. Your employee is a liar and you're a terrible restaurant manager. Ordered through uber this week, 2 order of mussels and 1 scallops. I received the scallops but no mussels, 2 orders of three missing. Just mind blowing. Uber refunded the money for the 2 missing orders. Is the uber driver responsible for packing the orders? I doubt it! Terrible business. Find another crab boil spot, I will be. read more

This is my second visit to this place. I'm very satisfied with the sauces here, each with its character. Snow crab is the favorite dish for me and my bf when coming here. The seafood is fresh, seasoned and delicious! read more

Gave this place another try and it was still disappointing. First off the oysters were warm and so disgusting. Clearly not fresh and bad quality. We did all you can eat, but the flavor of the sauces were not good and they seem to just pour sauce over it rather than it actually soaking in the sauce. Clearly frozen crawfish and shrimp weren't deveined! Spotty service, slippery floors, and just not good. read more
