The plate of fried shrimp and catfish was cooked to perfection. Both the shrimp and catfish came with a golden, well-seasoned coating that provided a delightful crunch with each bite, never feeling too heavy or greasy. The ample serving of fries on the side was a great touch -- they were crispy and served hot. Overall, it was a fantastic meal that pleased the both of us from beginning to end. read more

Food wasn't something to write home about, the service either. A group of 4 of us all did the AYCE and they didn't charge for the person whose birthday we were celebrating. I wish there was a hand washing station other than the bathroom as it does get messy. read more

We had a great experience at Laughing Crab! The food was really good, and the seafood boil was definitely my favorite. The seafood was flavorful, fresh, and seasoned really well. It's a great place to enjoy a good seafood meal, and we'll definitely be coming back! read more

Little disappointed, we ordered the get your hands dirty blue crab seasonal. It came very soft and the crab meat inside was like paste. I don't know if it was cooked right but it the texture was very different then any other crab u have had. read more

We went there again recently, and it was much better experience. The bathroom was cleaned. The food was cooked really well and it wasn't overcooked. The crab legs tasted great and so did the shrimp ! service was also really good. Thank you read more

The waiter was very nice and it was a nice restaurant inside. However, we went for crawfish and they were mushy and very small. The all you can eat is a tad misleading. It is all you can eat, but I thought we could order by the pound. You tell them what you want and they bring out a plate with their own portions. They do give you a lot of shrimp and they were very sweet and the seasoning was amazing. They also offer a lot of appetizers. We tried the onion rings and appetizers. When we tried to order the gumbo, we were kindly asked to finish what we ordered before he would bring it out. It was a bit of a drive for us. If I wanted just shrimp, it would be a great value for my dollar. read more

I ordered 1 lbs of shrimp and received 14 oz. at 19$/lbs I ordered 1 lbs. of scallops and received 7oz. at 29$/lbs I ordered these to go. Its lack of clientele on a Friday at 6 pm should tell all. Fool me twice. Shame on me. Total con and the "crab"is still laughing The Laughing Grab. read more

Terrible Terrible service. Not sure whats going on, but it seems noone actually works here. First the door locked us out and we had to wait outside for a customer to let us in. Zero staff anywhere. We waited for 10 more minutes in line with 5 other couples and we were NEVER seated. We even made reservations. Never got seated, so we left. read more

OMG! Such a good deal! They have all you can eat. Choose 3 seafood options, 3 side option, flavor & spice level. Most of everything is basic grade except the shrimp but still very much worth the price & you will get full! Flavorful! read more

I was beyond excited to learn Dallas opened a location and to order from here because the first time I tried Laughing Crab was in Louisiana & it was soooo good, like think about them once a quarter good. I guess it's my fault for having an expectation to begin with, but the truth is this time was nothing like the first & I have to admit I'm disappointed. When it came to ordering the food online (which is user friendly), the level of customer service when you walk in, the impeccable decor, and the fact they have one of the most competitive specials Mon-Fri when it comes to seafood boils ($20.99 for pick two that comes with potato & corn) or an all you can eat option- they're great. It's the food that's the problem. I ordered the Combo Special B medium w/the house blend. For those who don't know that combo comes with 1/2 lb of snow crab, shrimp no head, crawfish, three potatoes, two corn and two eggs. Not sure why a lot of boils in TX don't also add in a 1/2 lb of sausage (beef or pork) so I had to add that separately. The total came out to $42.24. Now that's not bad for all that you're getting, but for the price I was definitely expecting to get what I paid for in terms of spice and flavor. Not only was the boil flavorless in terms of seasoning (especially surprising being that I ordered the house special and you can clearly see the butter etc in the bag), but it wasn't even mildly spicy & I ordered medium ??? It was also a hassle trying to get through the crawfish as they seemed overcooked. When I walked in I did notice that only 3 people were dining in. I'm curious to know if it was just due to the time I went (3:30pm on a Friday) or if it has to do with the food being bland? Idk. I hope I just caught them on a bad day, but it'll be a while before I come back. read more

Came on a Friday night with my mom and 2 kiddos. It was pretty empty so we can say immediately. All the decorations were really cool to look at. The food and flavor were solid. I would definitely go back to try out the "all you can eat". We didn't get it due to the price for the children. The waiter said it would be half the price for both the kids(it was their first time eating boiled seafood). So it wasn't worth it for us but definitely for a date or lunch alone with my mom. You get 2 hours and you start by choosing 3lbs of whichever protein you want then 1lb after. read more

We love a good Cajun restaurant. The Laughing Crab definitely *looks* like it would qualify; inside and out, we liked the decor. But I'm sorry to say that the food was pretty disappointing. The fried foods had super-heavy breading that we all agreed was Cajun in name only. As a point of procedure, waiters should mention it if a side you order will cost extra, and not have a surprise at the end when you learn that your onion rings (instead of fries) cost $2 more. Also, it would be great if the waiter would check back in occasionally to see if anyone's drink needs refilling. read more

I just ordered the Tuesday special via their website which clearly states that it includes 0.5 crab legs, 0.5 shrimp, 0.5 pork sausage, 1 corn, 1 potato, and 1 egg. I called the location because when I got home there were no crab legs. I called and they were not accommodating and told me I was wrong and that crab legs are not included in the Tuesday special. I was going to go back up there but it's not worth the 30 minute drive. I will not be going back because they are dishonest. read more

Laughing Crab - Seafood Near Me - Garland, Texas

they gave me and my friends BAD seafood. it had literally gone bad. i'm a crawfish lover and can eat a pretty good amount of it, but last night i couldn't finish my first pound. i just got fries after the first round and waited for my friends to finish. we got the AYCE option, and my friends got the mussels, snow crab, and some shrimp. shrimp looked fine-- it's shrimp. his mussels however, were not opened up the entire way like they normally would when cooked. that's a huge sign that they've gone bad. snow crab legs just didn't taste right. our server was super nice and very attentive, but as a foodie, any bad food will just ruin my mood. read more

Laughing Crab - Combo bag - Seafood Near Me - Garland, Texas

We came back here not too long ago for the second time, just to be highly disappointed and disgusted by this place. As we walked in the door, it is posted that a recent health inspection had been failed, which the City does not post publicly here unfortunately, but you can ask for it in person at the restaurant and they have to provide it to you, which should have been the first red flag. Before we even ordered, I had to run to the bathroom with a young child, and was greeted with the nastiest bathroom I have ever seen. 2 of the 3 stalls were locked because they had been clogged with feces and toilet paper, and there were signs on the stall that stated to not put toilet paper or anything other than liquids in the toilet because of their "sensitive pipes" so people were literally wiping after using the bathroom and throwing it in the trashcan or on the floor. For it being a tuesday before dinner rush, that bathroom, whether they could unclog the toilets or not, had not been cleaned in several days. Really disappointing that the owners and staff practice poor hygiene because the food was actually amazing the first time we went before all this came to light. read more

I'm giving 3 stars because the sever was tentative. I ordered a boil in a bag as the main reason was for the sauce to penetrate the food. What I received was seafood boiled in water, with sauce poured over it. I was told because we orders so much they delivered it that way. Bland land. Crab wasn't even sweet and I'm not sure how that happened. Not a good experience and sad I spent so much money trying this place. read more

I am really frustrated because they have a policy that if one person at a table gets all you can eat then everybody at the table has to get the all you can eat, but we have a younger son who doesn't like crab or seafood, but our older son really wanted to come here for his birthday. I'm trying to ask somebody at the store if they would make an exception, but nobody seems to speak English it is extremely frustrating. Please hire at least ONE person who speaks English. I don't think that is unreasonable. read more

Never mentioned crawfish were frozen. Funky bad fishy taste. Shrimp were freezer burned and gummy, couldn't peel them. Covered in grease not sauce. Not good at all. read more

Not sure if it's just the day I went, but all the seafood was extremely dry and some pieces tasted funky. I got the lunch ayce and was highly disappointed. I've never left an ayce so quickly. The snow crab was so dry that it was hard to swallow even with the sauce and some water. Save your money and eat elsewhere read more

This is for the oyster basket and sea food gumbo, Well All I can say is the frfries that came with had no crisp to them, almost raw,uncooked, Bad. Taste was so off Even when I tried yo give the to my pet who eats everything, he actually growled at me, not a good sign. The oysters well, soggy like the fries, also cold probably due to not being fully cooked, should of had them on the halfshell if that's how I wanted to eat raw oysters. Seafood for gumbo, price wise, bad value due to very small portion for 7 bucks. It was kinda bland..yup Waste of money. I'm hophoping this was just a bad day, Service was okay, not really on par but close, they were friendly but. I'm gonna try them one more time, Usually when I have a bad time I'll try it again once, after that I can care less if their friendly, bad food has no place in my life and this was to me a waste of money, time and all around bad dinner..RATTS!!!. It almost brought tears to my eyes ,, It seems lately I've been running into bad, over priced food. Bad reviews are ugly, I hate writing them but I will, and I'll do it with no sympathy, if it's served bad I write bad, I do not cater to bad food or business, oh how I wanted to write a good review but dang if they didn't step on my hands and taste buds, come on guys, isn't there a reputable establishment that can serve seafood without uneducated mmistakes? Going to give this place one last try but not soon, they kinda took that seafood flavor out my mouth. read more

I've ordered from here a few times and while it's not the best, it wasn't bad...until today. I ordered crawfish from a food delivery service and the crawfish was inedible. It's crawfish season yet these tasted like they've been dead for ages. Even the potatoes and corn in the order tasted bad like on the verge of expiring. Maybe they thought they could mask the expired food with sauce. Unfortunately, I won't be ordering from here again. read more

My wife wanted to meet here for lunch. We both ordered the L9 lunch special. Bag of food came out looking like a balloon, minimal juice/flavoring and the food was sparse. 1 piece of corn, 1 potato, 6 slices of smoked sausage. The shrimp and veggies were fine, but the crab not so great in my opinion. Not one piece of crab came out without digging into the leg. I've eaten crab plenty of times to know how to break the leg and get the meat out as one piece. The place was empty when i walked in at 1 pm in a Friday. The "All You Can" shocked me because i've never seen this in a restaurant of this type. Overall, know what you're getting. Personally, i'll go to Fish-n-Tails in Wylie when i want crab, shrimp, and veggies in the future. read more

Family decided to try this place out. We won't be returning. Ordered a dozen raw oysters they looked ok but tasted bad. I thought I just had a bad one but tried another and decided it wasn't worth the risk. Between the 3 of us we had 5 before sending them back. Our waiter came back to tell us we would be charged for half dozen since some were eaten. I was blown away, I was charged for horrible oysters. And no one ever came to talk to us, they sent our waiter to tell us. Unfortunately I'll never be able to trust this establishment to stand behind their food, so we won't be returning. Eat at your own risk. read more

Delicious food! Stick with a boil, can't go wrong. House seasoning for the win! Very cool interior for great atmosphere!

I think I may have found my new go to place for seafood in the area. We went on a Saturday afternoon so it wasn't very busy but I definitely liked to vibe in the place. Our server Britney was amazing, very friendly and helpful explaining the specials and making recommendations. I had the weekend special, sorry no pictures. Crab legs, lobster tail, sausage with an egg, corn and potato. I ordered the flavor that had everything mixed together and Hot. The hot was hot not like other places that say hot and it's not really. They have a pick 3 special that wifey had with shrimp, crab legs and clams with garlic butter/lemon pepper seasonings, mild. The food came out fresh and hot and the flavor was amazing. This May have been our first but it will not be our last visit. read more

First and Last time. I had about 3 crawfish the rest was all dead and where's the flavor at?!! I had picked all above flavor all I taste was unwash fishy seafood! The crab legs and shrimp were over cooked and fishy from the dirty juice that they have in the mixture. Every bite was chewing dirt! read more

Wow... where to start? Hostess great! Sat w/ my wife for dinner. Excited to try a new place close to home. I ordered 1/2 lb snow crab, 1/2 lb sausage cajun style. Received 1 cluster (not a 1/2 lb. and eckrich sausage In garlic butter. They need to learn how to boil seafood! The few legs I got were so dried out, I could hardly get any meat out and the shells were impossible! Sausage... eckrich? Really? How bout andoullie? Flavor? Can't tell ya since I got garlic butter.. ahhh speaking of butter. I asked for melted butter for the crab. Finally, got a little tub of this thick yellow stuff like someone poured "I can't believe it's not butter" spray in a tub and served it. I know this may sound harsh but be forewarned! Much better places to go!! read more
