    The food order was accurate. The service was accurate. The staff were friendly. The catfish plate is filling and great price. The sauce for the fried pickle was also delicious.

    View from our outdoor patio seating. - A scenic outdoor patio overlooks a marshland with umbrellas and a cloudy sky during sunset.

    The seafood was loved by everybody in our family... The ambience was great in the South Carolina low country here in Hilton Head... But what really made the dinner was our service. Our waitress, Kristen W. was tremendous with drinks, food recommendations, and a great sense of humor. We loved her and she made the entire Dinner even better! Thank you!

    Had a dinner at Crazy Crab, group of 11 adults, and everyone loved it! We will definitely come back soon! It was my first time there but i had heard of its good food. There was plenty of parking; the restaurant is located in a plaza with stores and from the outside doesn't look like much. The inside and decor is a surprise; many tables, walls painted to theme, large stocked bar. Service was good; one waitress for our large table but she was attentive. The food was amazing! We all ordered different combos, there were so many options. We started with apps, some dumplings, crab Rangoon, shumai and hush puppies. I got combo E with the combo spices, medium heat. It had a lobster claw, shrimp, mussels and crab. Also had potatoes (i didn't eat) and corn (loved!). The drinks were great too; had frozen mango margarita, plus we had shots to celebrate a birthday. They came to sing happy birthday with a gong! It was great!

    The corn included in my seafood boil.

    I got take out last night and the piece of corn in my seafood boil had a bite out of it! It's so obvious because it's corn! Disgusting. It was probably either recycled food or a taste test?.. Either way, I won't be going back there. I had already started eating then noticed the corn.

    My family decided to visit Crazy Crab for Cajun Style Seafood. We had a positive experience at a similar restaurant in San Diego, CA, so we were excited to find that one has opened close to home in RI. From the looks of the strip mall, we expected to find a hole-in-the-wall but was pleasantly surprised to find a modern and tasteful casual dining area and sports bar. I'd say it's pretty fancy for a place where you are expected to wear a plastic bib and eat seafood with your bare hands! Check out the photos. My daughter and I ordered Combo D, which includes one cluster of snow crab, 1/2 lb. clams, and 1/2 lb. headless shrimp, 2 pieces of corn, and 2 pieces of baked potato. The medium Crazy Crab sauce was delicious! We dipped the fried fish and oysters we also ordered in it. The portion of combo D was perfect for 2 people and very reasonably priced at $30. The fried oysters and fried shrimp did not disappoint, but I would ask for some lemons next time. The first I visited, I ordered the Po Boy sandwich, which is only available during lunchtime, for takeout. My husband loved it! Crazy Crab is a fun and lively atmosphere that's perfect for large groups and individuals who like to watch sports at the bar. The service is great, the environment is clean, and there's a ton of parking available in the lot. The prices are also very reasonable compared to similar Cajun seafood restaurants. Highly recommend. Will definitely return!

    Pound for pound the best seafood boil spot in Providence. Best bang for your buck, the food is good and the prices are a reasonable as they can be. This is my go to. Other spots, I would spend over $200, whereas here I spend $100.

    Piping hot and fresh -- but no cole slaw :(

    Looking for seafood and don't care about setting? This is the place --- down and dirty on a strip mall off the highway. Big parking lot and quick service at lunch in a clean cavernous space. Looks like a big bar scene. Very tasty fried clams and excellent oyster poboy. Only the cole slaw was missing.

    Best "seafood boil" in Providence. We stopped by on a Friday afternoon for lunch. We split the Combo B (with 1 cluster of snow crab, 1/2 lb shrimp and 1/2 lb crawfish) and added extra shrimp and steam broccoli. We did the garlic butter sauce at medium spice and it was amazing. Super aromatic, good balance of spice and taste! 10/10 recommend! The service is great and space is perfect for small or large groups!

Every single dish hit hard, the stuffed quahogs packed with flavor, the sushi was fresh, and the full lobster stuffed with shrimp, scallops, and crab stuffing is a must order.

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful both inside and out, and the atmosphere really sets the tone for a great dining experience. The menu also looked fantastic with a lot of appealing options. I ended up ordering the baked shrimp, which came with seasoned potatoes and string beans. Unfortunately, the dish didn't quite meet expectations. The potatoes were described as seasoned, but leaned more toward a Cajun-style flavor, which wasn't what I was expecting. The string beans were also quite undercooked. For a $29 dish at a fine dining restaurant, I was hoping for a more polished meal. That said, the service was good, and the ambiance truly stands out as a highlight. Overall, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed by the food, but I would consider giving it another try if I'm back in town, as the setting alone makes it worth revisiting.

The Providence location has a market as well with chips, sodas, spices, and frozen items for purchase. You can also buy fresh seafood like crabs or fish in the market. They have several menu items. I always get the half chicken with fries. It's topped with a delicious hot sauce, garlic, cilantro, and banana peppers. The chicken is flavorful and juicy. There is nothing like it around! The fries are seasoned perfectly. I tried the fried tilapia fish for the first time tonight and it was perfectly cooked and came with a white sauce, cabbage, cilantro, and banana peppers but the chicken is still my favorite. They did a great job on the renovation in Providence and the place looks brand new. You can tell the layout was thoughtfully designed. A great family fun restaurant. Love seeing the business grow!

She had just a couple of deviled eggs, which were a little dry, then continued with a good seasonal salad, accompanied by excellent bread which the restaurant gets from the ex-Wayland bakery, which has unfortunately moved to Pawtucket and changed its name For my main dish I had the appetizer mussels mariniere - tasty and just the right portion for lunch. With great willpower I did not order the fries as I had some the night before. And ended with an espresso. Our waiter, Joe, was knowledgeable about the food (and brought us an extra helping of bread) and gave excellent service. (We gave him a good tip.) As usual, the place was noisy but less so than in the evening. This really is an American bistro, reminiscent of the ones in Paris. The check came to under $50 per person, probably because we did not have any wine as it was the middle of the day. However, we left feeling replete.

My lobster mac and cheese (special) was so perfect, especially with that added fry sauce from the mussels (def add fries for 2-3$) The salmons were a bit under seasoned, the non hot honey version was wayyy better. Very high quality food for fair prices, wonderful ambience. Left without leftovers
