    Been here a few times now. Usually to celebrate a birthday in the family. The place is never overly busy which is nice. So no wait!! Our server was very good and very attentive to us. The place was clean and did not have any seafood smell to it. Sometimes you never know with a seafood boil type place. This time I got the catfish basket with fries. The pieces of catfish were very good. Could have used a little bit seasoning in the batter but overall good. It comes with 4 good sized pieces and a large amount of fries. The fries were a little plain and needed lots of salt and pepper. Overall good experience once again

    The interior is so cool, almost like you're in a shipwreck with all the giant crabs and lobsters and see food attacking haha and don't forget the pirates! We were seated immediately. Our server came and took our orders. We ordered rice, French fries, fried oyster (it came with French fries so we didn't know and we had double French fries) We ordered dozen oysters, Peel and eat shrimp with potatoes, and finally my other pot we can use it as natural break. We rly enjoyed it. They def pretty good and worth coming back!

    They provide a bib and gloves! As well as the utensils to crack the shells.

    Oh I curse the day I tried sea food boil! Cause It's just so good!. I have gone to all of the sea food boils around UCF area and I believe Humgry Crab reigns supreme. I have gone about 6 times to Hungry Crab and here is my review: Service: 10/10. The max wait time when full was about 10mins. Once seated the waiters are fast and friendly and help you our if you have never done a sea food boil. Food: 8/10. I have gotten the Dungeons Crab, the Snow crab, the Shrimp and the Crawfish. My go to is the every day special 1 lbs of Snow crab and half lbs of shrimp for about 36$. I always get the hungry crab sauce. The food is delicious. My only reason why I dont give it a 10/10 is because sometimes the shrimp and crab is iver cooked. Which makes it harder to peel/crack their shell and pull. Overall, i believe its it worth going. I give it a solod 8.5/10

    Hungry Crab is a casual spot offering delicious plates. First time visit for me, as I stopped by with family for dinner. They mentioned this place a few times, so I figured, why not try it. Our server was super friendly and attentive. Our drinks and meals arrived promptly. I went with the half pound combo as it was plenty of food for one. Their cocktails were on point too! Sadly, couldn't give it five stars as the dessert menu was lacking (only two options). Overall solid spot and worth the trip if you're visiting or new in town.

    My husband and I love the Hungry Crab. We had not been in a while so, last night we decided to order and pick it up. I placed an online order. It was easy and simple, but I never received a confirmation email back. My husband decided to call and ended up placing the order over the phone. As soon as he hung up, we started driving to the restaurant as our order was going to be ready in about 15 mins. We got to the restaurant and as soon as I came in I was greeted by the host. Our order was ready for us to take home. I made payment and on my way I went. We were about to leave when our favorite server, Jing, was leaving. She saw us and came to say hi. Pickup experience a 10. This seafood restaurant is very chill. They always have good music playing. The staff is great and y heir food is amazing.

    seafood boil night!

    Have been here multiple times before, each time has always been great. The past few times the restaurant has been very busy, but waiting times aren't too long. We get the daily special of 1 lb of crab legs and 1/2 shrimp (no head) and it's the best deal! Food is always delicious, sometimes you have to work for your meat though. We got lucky today with some great meat pulls!!

    It was my first time at Hungry Crab. The food was great. Friendly staff. Good selection for the price.

    $15 Snapper with fries. So so good!

    I was really impressed with Hungry Crab. I was in the mood for fried fish, and I was going to a movie nearby, so I figured I'd give it a try. I am so glad I did! I went with the fried snapper basket. Four pieces and fries for $14. Not a bad deal. The fish was delicious! Full of flavor and seasoning (my mouth is watering just thinking back on it). The fries were on point too (y'all know I'm the Fry Snob). I'm looking forward to trying more menu items, but it's going to be hard to pull away from the snapper!

    Special: 1 lb shrimp + 1/2 lb sausage

    Hungry Crab is such a FUN place to eat seafood at! I went with coworkers and they loved the food and the experience. We ordered the special: 1 lb of one of the proteins and 1/2 lb is free! It comes with 1 corn and potatoes, more than enough for 1 person. Oh! And we ordered it with ALL the spices We also ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizer, which was delicious. Service was quick and very nice. We will be back

    I came to the Hungry Crab in honor of Mardi Gras. Growing up on the Gulf Coast, I always did a huge boil for Mardi Gras, but since I came to Orlando, I couldn't find a place within the first few years, and then gave up. Well, I try and better myself every year, and this year I said no more! I was going to find a place for my hot, spicy seafood. I did some research, and decided to give this relatively new Hungry Crab location a try. Well thank goodness that I did. This place was incredible. The inside was very interesting, because it's nestled in the skeleton of an old Chinese buffet, but that left plenty of room for huge pirate ships and giant statues of Johnny Depp. Very cool space inside. Service was great. The mix 'n' match nature of the menu had us asking a lot of questions, but our server helped us navigate our way to the correct answer. That, and they kept the refills of excellent sweet tea coming the whole time. As for the food, oh man, it was very good. I forgot exactly what the menu item we ordered was called, but it was a combo meant for two people. It was moderately spicy boiled crab legs, shrimp, crawfish, clams, and mussels, along with some corn and potatoes as accoutrements. The seafood was all cooked pretty good. I want to go out of my way to say that almost all the boiled seafood I have had in Orlando, cough or Melbourne cough, ever has been severely overcooked. If you're an offending seafood owner and are reading this, please call up Hungry Crab and figure out what they're doing differently than you. Anyway, it was cooked good, it was seasoned good, and there was just the perfect amount of spicy, garlicky butter at the bottom of the bucket for you to sop up with the corn, the potatoes, whatever you want. So good. Overall, so this place is just dynamite. Maybe it's a chain, but they're a chain and other places are not for a reason. I plan on coming here every Mardi Grad like clockwork.

    Hungry something drink - oj,pineapple juice , passion fruit , and Bacardi ? Wasn't bad but VERY sweet . Lightly poured .
    Melissa C.

    The place itself is cute and great photo ops , however , it's the worst place we've eaten in Orlando for seafood . The oysters weren't bad but the red snapper was AWFUL , as was the coleslaw (inedible ) . We took one bite of each and left the entire platter there . Two tables near us complained they were going for burgers when leaving .

    Brittany N.

    Pros: The ambiance is a lot of fun! It's semi-fish tank vibe provides a lot of fun things to look around at, including a giant Jack Sparrow! Service was nice. She prepared us well for our messy meal, and kept the drinks flowing the whole time. Food was excellent. We have a hard time finding good seafood in Orlando, so the good cook on these delicate little morsels was really a nice surprise. Cons: No cons. Just prepare to get messy. Thank God they give you a bib. Lol. Tips: I feel like you'll have a good experience no matter what you order, but try to get a combo, because it's fun to switch back and forth between things you're eating. Bring a hair tie.

    The blue crabs were on the edge of being bad! More than 1/2 of the clams did not open and there was no option. Total disappointment!

    Great food, service, and ambiance!…read more I loved the vibe of the aurora. The restaurant was space and astrology themed with each sever having their astrology sign on their name tag! So cute. I ordered the eggs Benedict. One of my eggs was slightly overcooked, but the other one was nice and runny. My friend ordered a medium steak with her Caesar salad, and it came out well done, but they immediately fired a new steak and quickly brought out the corrected temperature for her. The restaurant has a view of the pool and it's very well lit inside. Nice brunch spot near UCF! Parking was free, but they also had a valet option.

    Aurora at The Celeste was a bit of a mixed experience for me. It's a smaller, intimate restaurant,…read moreand the service itself was good, although our meal did take quite a while to come out. I had heard good things about the eggplant dish from a friend, but I asked if they could substitute chicken for the eggplant at an additional cost. The chef declined the substitution, which was a little surprising, but okay. I ended up trying the eggplant as prepared, and it was actually very good and one of the highlights of the meal. The chowder was also excellent and probably one of my favorite things we tried. Unfortunately, I had a pretty rough experience with the camel empanadas. On my first small bite, the empanada was so incredibly hot that it essentially burst, getting extremely hot oil on and around my lips and burning me. That definitely made the rest of dinner less enjoyable. I'd strongly suggest allowing these to rest a little longer before serving. The biggest disappointment was the gator fried rice. The gator was extremely chewy, and overall the dish lacked flavor. I wouldn't order that one again. We also tried the Super Nova, which was good but very rich. I think it makes much more sense as something for a larger group to share rather than a dessert for one or two people. Overall, 3/5. There were some genuinely good dishes, particularly the chowder and eggplant, and the service was pleasant, but the long wait, empanada incident, and disappointing gator fried rice kept the overall experience from being a standout.

    First off, I want to give a HUGE thank you to the Cooper's Hawk Team for making my birthday feel so…read morespecial. My friend treated me to a birthday lunch this week and when we got to the table, the staff had a birthday card waiting for me! How thoughtful! We came during happy hour and decided to try a few small plates and drinks. The Egg Rolls are a must! They were packed with flavor and a variety of ingredients. My friend especially loved the shrimp. We also tried the quesadillas and sliders on the happy hour menu. Both dishes tasted incredible! Sadly, though the happy hour has half priced apps, the plates are also half sized. They were absolutely delicious, but the dishes felt overpriced for the portion size. As for drinks, I tried the sangria flight. I wasn't expecting such a full portion size and was pleasantly surprised with that. I did, however, only find 2 of the 4 drinks to be especially tasty. I wouldn't order that flight again, but would be interested in their wine offerings. I loved the low lighting in the space as it set such a calm and laid back mood. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and especially loved the food! Totally recommend.

    CH remains a favorite for my group of gal pals. Last 2…read morevisits: 1) Friday evening in time to make it for Wine O'Clock Happy Hour. To my dismay, they were out of the Arancini so I went with the Tempura Shrimp instead, which were very tasty. Since my table was sharing multiple apps I wanted an entree on the lighter side. The Soup & Salad Combo was perfect! I thoroughly enjoyed both. Jasmine, our server, was another shining aspect of the night. She created a feeling of comradery and adeptly met all our needs. Hope to be served by her again. 2) Sunday Brunch & Bubbles- Enjoyed my Bloody Mary, but the Breakfast Gnocchi Carbonara was too soupy for my taste. The Brisket Hash is much better. I'll stick with that dish in the future.
