Title: J's Crab n Wings - A Seafood Paradise! (5 Stars) If you haven't made your way to J's Crab n Wings yet, are you even living? Honestly, I think I just had my taste buds elevated to another dimension, and I'm pretty sure I owe it all to this magical little spot! Let's start with the fried fish. Oh my goodness, it's so delish that I considered starting a fan club just for that crispy, golden goodness! It's like the fish swam straight from the ocean into a hot tub of flavor. I'm convinced there might be a secret fish whisperer in the back, because that fish is practically singing "Hallelujah" with every bite! Now, let's talk about the fries. These are not just any fries; they are cooked to perfection, like they've been training for a culinary Olympics. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they're the kind of fries that make you want to shout, "I'll never look at a potato the same way again!" Pair them with that seafood sauce, and you've got a heavenly experience that's basically a food hug. I might have actually shed a tear or two over how good it was. And then there are the daiquiris. Oh, the daiquiris! They're so delicious that I'm pretty sure they were created by a group of party-loving mermaids. I ordered one and then suddenly found myself in a daiquiri trance, where I was convinced the drink was sipping me instead of the other way around. I'm not sure how they do it, but I think there's magic in those cups! Let's not forget the endless variety of options on the menu. It's like a seafood wonderland! I felt like a kid in a candy store, except instead of candy, it was all the delicious seafood my heart could ever desire. I'm already plotting my next visit just to dive into the seafood boil. I don't know if I'll need a bib or a life jacket for that adventure, but I'm here for it! In conclusion, J's Crab n Wings is a culinary treasure that deserves all the stars in the universe. If you're looking for fried fish that makes your heart sing, fries that redefine perfection, and daiquiris that will have you questioning your life choices (in the best way), then look no further. I'm already dreaming of my next visit, and I can't wait to dive back into this seafood paradise! read more

J's Crab N Wing seafood - Seafood Near Me - DeSoto, Texas

Garlic butter and J's seasoning are delicious and HOMEMADE! No "crab boil" seasoning and it's delicious! Stopped in on my way back to Austin and just happened upon this place. The owner was super friendly and the crawfish and mussels were absolutely delicious! The best crawfish I've ever tasted! Seriously! We'll definitely be back! read more

The wings are so juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. All the fries are good and crispy (not a fan of soft fries) and the drinks . I didn't care for the fish. I'm excited to try the other seafood tho. read more

See all

This is a serious joke! I will not ever be back, my combo come with two clusters, get my meal the entire crab is broken up, the man said he ran out and gave me what they had left, really. read more

Ordered a pound of shrimp (headless) with J's xtra hot sauce ! 10/10 . Great atmosphere and awesome customer service! Would definitely recommend read more

We checked this place out last Saturday and I must say, they have the best crabs ever. We did go mild on the flavor but that crab, shrimp, and cajun fries was the best. I was surprise this place was not packed as good as the food is. not sure what the guy name is that cleans the tables but he was so great and helpful, we had to tip him. We forgot our To-go bag on the table when we walked out, I am so glad he came after us!!!! BEST CRAB EVER. THANK YOU FOR GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE WE WILL BE BACK read more

Tried this place for the first time last weekend- good customer service, you order your food at the counter and they bring it out to you when it's ready. Happy hour is daily from 4-7pm. There are a variety of daiquiri flavors to choose from. I ordered the seafood combo boil #2- came with 1/2 lb of crab, 1/2 lb shrimp, corn and potatoes. Everything was hot and fresh- my husband got the chicken wings and Cajun fries which are delicious also, and he enjoyed the chicken- hot and juicy in the inside, crispy on the outside- you can also choose from a variety of wing flavors, we will def be back. Even the vibe is nice and chill which was a plus! read more

Horrible and disgusting fake nasty old greayse fried fish. Cheap frozen shrimp. This was an awfully yucky day. It's my birthday today. This was yucky. read more

The happy hour drinks last 2 days - my wife and I tried the fried shrimp and they was Good! We haven't tried anything else, but then, if they did so well initially, I'm going back! Just to make sure Uncle John is still on his game! read more

The service is always great when I come here and the food is fresh "BOMB AF" love it !

Ordered the seafood boil "Combo #2" to-go...when I got home and opened that plastic bag and saw ONE crag leg claw and about 6-8 shrimps and the smallest potatoes I was completely done. It was clear I was pranked! Also they will need to make improvements to who they have answering the phones and who takes the order. If you get the young lil girl that has a difficult time articulating your order you're in trouble. And check your order before you leave as seafood is NOT cheap and one claw will have you "Hangry"! Their claims are that it's by the "pound". Not sure what their weighing but it's sure not the actual crab legs. Trying to support black business but I need them to re-evaluate their logistical approach. read more

Ordered the shrimp & fry basket. Very small portion of fries, the shrimp was so greasy I couldn't finish it. The shrimp also tasted like frozen dinner food. They were nice enough to exchange it for the gumbo. The cup of gumbo ( normally a whopping $9.99) has GREAT flavor BUT it's ALL Broth!!! Not one single shrimp, sausage, piece of chicken, or even slice of Okra. $17.00 later, I'm still hungry & I'm staring at a full daiquiri that tastes like off brand Hawaiian Punch from the school cafeteria. SMH. read more

This was the MOST disgusting seafood I've ever taste in my whole entire existence!!!!!!! I spent over $70 at this place and regret it terribly! I got combo #4 with a daiquiri (mixed with pineapple, strawberry and mango) the drink was the only good thing. I was already pissed I spent that much on something that was beyond disgusting! But I ate it since I was hungry! This food and sauce has no flavor! None whatsoever! I had to keep ordering sauce on the side just to have some taste to it but no luck . The owner is a pain and I could tell he would've had an issue with me sending the food back and wouldn't be sympathetic or understanding just by how he interacts and treated the other guests that were there before me. They even tried to give me a hard time about placing the potatoes with another 1/2 sausage after I told them it's ok if it's up charge, I'll pay for it. The girl taking my order and some white girl with glasses was saying no I wasn't allowed to. Excuse me! If I'm paying for it. I asked to speak with the owner and all of the sudden I was allowed to substitute the sausage for the potatoes. This place is just gross! The most disgusting food ever! No flavor! No seasoning! No nothing! Just gross! If you think the seafood here is good then you don't know nothing about good seafood and you been hooked on this counterfeit mess that is a downgrade read more

Decided to try this place after it recently opened. Ordered the fried catfish and shrimp combo at $11.99. Although it is priced like Pappadeaux's ($10 - $20 entrees) the food is like Long john Silvers. Save your money. read more

The gumbo is amazing. I lived in New Orleans for 3 years and this gumbo was on par with gumbo I've had in New Orleans. The roux was well seasoned and had a perfect chocolate color to it. I also tasted the pina colada and White Russian (mixed) daiquiri. Great flavor and value. I ordered a 32oz during happy hour, so it only cost $6.50. This is my 4th time here. I've tried the crab, shrimp, and wings before and have enjoyed them all. read more

The fried food there is dry and greasy. I only get the boiled seafood from there which is only crabs. They are always out of everything else. This is the only seafood spot for miles in my area so I was a big supporter until today. Their customer service is horrible...from the OWNER. The cooks and cashiers are always nice. But this was my last time supporting them. I'd rather go all the way to Mr. Crab which has better seafood and keeps stock of what's on the menu and has better customer service. I have never been treated this way at any place of business. I spend so much money there and now I'm mad at myself for even giving someone who doesn't appreciate their customers as much money as I have. If you are looking for good food AND good service in the south of Dallas area go to MR CRAB in Grand Prarie Tx or Shell Shack. Stop supporting businesses that think nothing of you..they're just in this neighborhood to get our money. They could care less about the community in which they place their businesses. read more

Workers don't give off a friendly vibe you basically have to stare them down to get their attention , ordered a #3 to go I asked how long was the wait and I was told 5 mins , I found myself sitting waiting at least 35 minutes. Food smelled so good . Got home ready to eat & the food was over cooked hard to take the complete shell off my shrimp , once I got it off the shrimp was very soggy (I gave them away) the crab legs were also hard to come out of the shell you can tell they were over cooked , sauce was nasty taste like they mixed a bunch a stuff and added a lot of water , I paid almost $40 & definitely was disappointed. Will not be going back . read more

Great seafood and great wings. This place is the kind of place that you don't know what to get because it's all that good. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

My homegirl and I were looking for a new seafood spot and we tried this place. We both ordered a #2combo. It was pretty good. Off first impression the staff was very nice and most were A.A. Which was good. They have happy hour every day as well as daqs and wine. The music was great. The food was good I will definitely be coming back! The service was excellent and the food was good. I look forward to trying something new on the menu read more

I was craving some catfish and did not feel like driving to Cedar Hill to Razzoo's, so I figured I would try J's. My expectations were just to have some that would pacify my craving without paying too much. Well I was extremely happy with the friendly reception, plentiful amount of hot food and the good taste. I ordered three fillet basket thinking it would be those rinky dinky size pieces, but that was not the case whatsoever. I had three large fillets on hot cajun fries! I enjoyed every single bite I had and still had ample left to share. This will be my go-to place for catfish!!! read more

I'm only giving this place 1 star because I can't give them 0. I found this place on yelp and today happens to be Valentine's day, so I figured I'd give them a try on my way home. I placed my call in order at 8:27pm and the young lady who took my order told me 20 mins. I pulled into the parking lot at about 8:35 where I sat in my car for 10 minutes waiting. I proceed to go inside the restaurant and pay for my food. The young lady who checked me out then told me it will be about 6 mins so I figure ok great. There were alot of people waiting but I figured since I called my order in, there would be no problem. Boy was I wrong!!! I looked up after 55 mins of waiting PATIENTLY and my food still had not come up!! 2 pieces of fish and 7 shrimp is ALL I was waiting on. I didn't realize how long it has been so I was super pissed. I inquired about where my order was and was told 3 more mins! I'm super livid now and that 3 mins was another 10 mins and still no food!!! At this point, all I wanted was my damn money back. They wanted me to wait another 10 mins to cook my order and give me my money back but I was furious and didn't want SHIT from this establishment. I will not return to place simply because of the lack of concern to make sure your customers, whether new or old are treated better than that. At this point, I'm sure the food was trash and taste like any other Asian owned fish and chicken place. Pure waste of my time on Valentine's day!! read more
