Fried Seafood Basketseafood

Been here several times and the seafood boil is always amazing. The service was attentive and helpful. The place has the ocean/beach vibe far from the beach.

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.

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.

We started with the Chicken Marsala Stuffed Mushrooms, which were packed with rich, savory flavor. I ordered the 'Shroomy Grilled Cheese, and it was next-level comfort food; gooey, earthy, and perfectly balanced. My husband and aunt both had the New School Smash Burger, and they couldn't stop raving about it. Every dish was bursting with flavor and truly "to die for." Our server, David, made the night even better. He was attentive, upbeat, and genuinely kind; an overall great spirit with a fantastic attitude who elevated the entire dining experience. David even brought us some of their popcorn, which was so delicious and such a fun extra touch. We loved the food, we loved the service, and we will definitely be back; highly recommend.

We ordered EVERYTHING, Literally... Hubby wanted steak, son wanted wings, pizza, other things and I had on my Fat girl eyes and just wanted all the things. I was torn on the wing flavor and the waitress (who was a F***ing riot by the way, I Love her)! suggested the maple, I didnt Love love them, but they were good. The pizza was ok, could have been cooked like a moment more. The Shroomy grilled cheese for me was the best thing on the menu. Hubby said the steak was just meh, but he is fancy, we take his reviews with a grain of salt, LOL... The decor and vibe of the place was great! Its big, misleading from the street, but there are rooms, and hallways, and more rooms! Super cute, but it does get busy, Make a reservation. Get the Brie Crostini, I remember that being great, and now Im drooling!

You order at the kiosk and they prepare your food and call your name when it's ready. I ordered the saag with potatoes and the gentleman also gave me a complimentary pink dessert. I've had Indian food all around the world and always love ordering saag. When I tell you this was one of the BEST saags I've ever had I'm not lying. Quite honestly it was incredible. The spinach was blended very well, it was incredibly creamy, and there were even some chunks of onions and peppers throughout. The potatoes practically melted in my mouth but still had enough bite to contrast the creamy saag. The meal was spiced perfectly and offered a multitude of complex flavors. The portions were enormous. They definitely gave me enough rice and curry for atleast two meals. If this was the quality of one of their dishes I'm excited to try out more of their options! Utterly fantastic. Don't let the outside fool you- this is a must try for Indian dishes.

I did go at 3pm and I was the only person in there, so I'm sure that had some effect on the quality of food. The rice was a little hard and cold, a majority of the toppings were fresh and crisp, but even the protein was a bit cold. The amount of sauce on top was drowning as well. The worker was very nice and walked me through the options which I appreciated.

I've seen on social media that people complained about the new location having mainly street parking - we both found parking easily on the street - quit yer b*tchin' people lol. Besides I believe they have a lot behind the restaurant that we didn't have to use but it's there if needed. We were the only ones there when we first walked in but more patrons came in as the night went on. Made our way to the bar and orders were flowing - one warning if you're sitting at the bar, it is an open kitchen so there will be alot of aromas flowing through and may get on your clothes but really it'll just remind you of how good the food was. Also, the barstools are not the most comfy - metal stools with no backing so after 2.5 hours, we were feeling a bit achy. We ordered way more than we should've but everything just looked so good! We got the croquettes (our absolute fave), the cauliflower, the pizza du jour (I think it had spinach, pepperoni, ricotta and garlic) and for entrees we got the fish tacos and the Orecchiette. Not one complaint - everything was divine. Croquettes were melty, smoky little nuggets of heaven and our favorites bites of the night. The pizza had a great balance of flavors and the crust was thin and crispy. We were so full but had a few bites of the fish tacos and pasta - the fish was cooked to perfection and the aioli it came with topped it perfectly. Pasta was different - had a scallion cream sauce that was a nice change up from your typical Alfredo. Don't sleep on this place - the street is busy being on a main road but so well worth the visit, I didn't catch our bartender's name but he and a few other servers were super personable and friendly - gave us just enough time in between meals and personal space to not hover. Absolutely will return!

RI food fights brought me in and you don't get access to the whole sandwich menu here, unfortunately you have to pick between their "Mushroom Bahn MI" and their "Screaming BLT". I went with the BLT since I wasn't feeling the vegan option. The description was "chili-hoisin glazed bacon | sliced tomato baby greens tomato jam | dill pickle pickled red onion chipotle aioli toasty thick-sliced white bread". Honestly, it was underwhelming. It had some tasty components but it was pretty average. The bacon was terribly weak. It was probably frozen precooked bacon that is heated and brushed with a hoisen glaze. I was hoping for some thick cut glazed almost candied bacon. Their avg. sandwich was around $16-17. If paying for that, I'd be left pretty disappointed. On top of that, it probably took around 35-40 minutes to get the sandwich. Again, pretty okay sandwich, the pickled onion, tomato jam and Chipotle aioli elevated things, but it's in vain with the bacon they use. Their other sandwiches sound good, so it's possible I'll visit to try them out at some point but can't see myself running back here after my impression with this BLT.
