    1lb snow crab and 1lb easy peel shrimp, comes with potatoes and corn. Cajun spicy hot sauce.
    John Y.

    I ordered through ubereats since this place is hard for me to get to. The food came early and it was fresh and tasty. I ordered 2 bags of "Happy Family C", which comes with 1lb of snow crab legs, Shrimp with shell (but no head), corn and potatoes. You get the choice of sauce and spicy level. I got garlic butter medium, and Cajun spicy hot. The latter was better, IMHO. The crab was legs were fresh enough for you to just snap them in half to get large chunks of meat out to enjoy. The Shrimp had the shell on, but they were super easy to peel. The shrimp were slit down the back. The corn could've been cooked a little longer for my tastes, but it was still ok. The potatoes were good. All of the food comes in thick plastic bags, so no worries about a puncture. The order even came with 2 pairs of gloves and I have to say, they held up well during the long meal! I don't think traditional latex gloves would do as they would be too thin. It does take some time to eat this meal so I'm glad I got delivery. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a quick seafood boil meal.

    I ordered last night for delivery. Extremely disappointed. Paid $23 (+$5.95 uber eats menu fee +taxes+service fees+tip) for a lobster roll that was so tiny and had barely any lobster meat. Owner claims the rolls have 4oz and I wish I had measured it because that was definitely less, but I have no proof, other than the picture attached that speaks by itself. Two bites it took to eat it. I've never felt so scammed from a delivery in my life. Don't fall for it, avoid this place.

    Mussles and clams with potatoes and corn. I got the Cajun sauce medium spicy.

    Delightful fresh well packaged and yummy ! The mussles are my favorite. The Cajun sauce is perfectly tasty and garlicky without you having to worry about smelling like garlic later. I got takeout but the service here is also very nice.

    Fresh seafood served piping hot by a friendly and efficient staff. I've never had a crab boil served as it was but I am a fan! The crab legs were delicious and they were complemented by the corn and potatoes. My husband had scallops served the same way. We both chose the butter garlic option. I chose a medium level of spice, and it wasn't too hot at all. I would go back if we are ever in the area again. Money, saving hint - the couple next to us told us that they tried Happy Crab because they found a Groupon. Good luck!

    The shrimp, spring rolls, clam chowder, & fried fish were all amazing!! Everything was fresh & well made. Highly recommend this place!

    Small, family-run restaurant with excellent service. They provide a fair amount of seafood per order and the seasoning is adequate. The lobster roll comes topped with spicy mayonnaise and tobiko, which is different, but not a huge fan of.

    My first impression was what I am getting my self into because of what NOT to expect or to expect. To my pleasure the food and service and ambience was quiet pleasing. I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE A RETURN TRIP! The seafood boil was very fulfilling and spicey...just the way I liked it. The environment in the restaurant was very different...a lot of flowers and plants of good nature. It gives a serene atmosphere of enjoying what you came to indulge. The employees were nice and respectful and honest about questions when asked. Not a bad spot to get into for a bite or two. Oh by the way, it has a very good bar with specialty drinks.

    This is our first time at the Happy Crab. A very lovely restaurant and we had a very good time. Drinks, apps and entrees were very good. Get dressed up, put on a bib and gloves, eat until you can't. There's veryou'll have a great time eating. There's very strong house sake watch yourself. Well we'll eat there again. Crab cakes Shrimp and mussels made to your spice level. Very good food!

    what a nice local spot! the service was wonderful as the staff was so kind. the restaurant itself was clean and beautifully decorated with a big crab lamp on the wall! as for the food, the spice was perfect and the french fries were even better dipped in the boil sauce. it was a very good amount of food for the price. i would go again!

Funny enough when we visited my friend was also in town that weekend and by happenstance we happened to get to the restaurant at the same time. I would definitely make reservations because I did not realize you would need a reservation for a Wednesday night, but we did. Luckily we were able to give our name and they had a cancellation and were able to be seated within 20 to 30 minutes. The upstairs is pretty cool. I really like the decor. One of my favorites was these monkey lamps they had. The food was pretty good and we had gotten a slider for my son which basically filled him up. My wife and I split a poo poo platter and got an appetizer and that was enough for us. The drinks were really good. We had gotten a few to try. I like my first one and really enjoyed my second one. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and she made one and then when we went for our second round she did say she was new to the job so I went with something I knew I would like. They also sell some of their mugs which is a cool bonus. If your into tiki drinks definitely pick up a wusong road branded mug when you stop by. We got two.
