This is the place. You found it. Look. No. Further. The best seafood boil in Orlando is this amazing family run business. The keyword there is FAMILY. I have a saying: try everything twice, as you never know what may have gone wrong or right, the first time. Consistency is key. This review has been a long time coming, but I can say beyond any doubt Mad Crab Seafood is the place to get your seafood needs sent to heaven! Along with an amazing variety of choices (as long as you get there before they sell out; for good reason!) you can customize things the way you want. A total judgement free zone, they expect you to get messy and provide plenty of ways to clean up. Heat options are there, and the amount of flavor in every bite never fails to amaze. Constantly wanting to please, they adapt their menu and ALWAYS provide premium quality. Family. That's how you will be treated here. Even on my first time visiting, we felt like timeless friends from the start. There is nothing better than eating amazing food while having a smile from ear to ear for the entirety of your stay. I cannot think of any business more deserving of your attention. Once again, thank you Molene & Family for the amazing meals you have provided. I am sorry for being absent for so long, but as always, Keep moving forward! read more

Great food! Definitely recommend the seafood over the burgers but still yummy! Staff is also very nice

Wowww! Absolutely amazing. Our first time and we will definitely be back. We got the seasoning with every flavor mixed together and I'm very glad we did. Everything tasted fresh and of great quality. The people were nice and the banana pudding hit the spot. It was a perfect amount for 2 of us. Highly recommend! read more

Mad Crab Seafood - 1lb crab leg and 8pc shrimp combo - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We were staying at the Sheraton Orlando for a birthday party and wanted to get something to eat. So we looked up black owed restaurants near us. We saw Mad Crab and it had good reviews so we figured we'd try it out. Babeeeeee they did not disappoint!!! All 3 of us love seafood and they are one of the best we've had. It's family owned and operated and Adrien and Moe (the mom) were so wonderful!!! I felt like I was eating at a friends house. Me and another friend got a pound of Crab legs which came with corn, egg and potato's. Another friend got snow crab, shrimp, crawfish!! With the Ms. Moe's sauce with medium heat. Soooooooooo good!!! The wings were good as well. The corn nuggets will change your life. Now it is a hole in the wall and it's small only 1 table, so you may have to get it to go. But if your a seafood lover trust me, you'll want to try them. We are already planning on coming back tomorrow. read more

Mad Crab Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This place pretty much lived up to the hype. Don't let looks deceive you, it may be a quaint little store but the broil is FIRE I entered around 5pm and it was a little awkward cuz I didn't get a greeting and the two owners were sittin down eating some of their own broil so I may have interrupted their dinner, but regardless I ordered a lb of their shrimp that came with potatoes and corn. It took maybe 5 min for them to prepare it and it looked and tasted DIVINE. I wasn't going to finish it all but I couldn't help it. I went back to work and almost fell asleep. The seasonings are on point and the shrimp are in no way skimpy. They're nice large and plump. U know a broil is good when u can't help but dip every bite of anything u can get a hold of back into the sauce. The pricing may seem a little steep but keep in mind this is seafood by the lb. They didn't have fried options when I went so I'm looking forward to going back. Hopefully they'll excuse my awkwardness as I unintentionally interrupt their meals again ‍ read more

Mad Crab Seafood - Lb of shrimp with potatoes and corn - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Left a review here years ago and I just wanted to come back and update it to say it's still amazing and still my favorite. I've moved further from the location and it is the one place that I'm willing to drive to. The seafood is always fresh and the size of the crabs is always worth the price. The family running the place is always so accommodating. Recently we ordered 3 trays all made differently and each one was made right. My friend wanted enough seasoning to make her blood pressure rise and they obliged lol. For years this place has been my consistent go to and I'm glad to see them thriving, growing, and still maintaining great food quality and service (and prices!) read more

WOW. I am in love with this spot. You can tell they put a lot of love into their seasonings and food, here. The crab and shrimp combo was so flavorful and you could tell the meat was fresh. They did not skimp out on the crab at ALL and we cannot wait to go back. The wings were also so flavorful and we can't wait to try other flavors. We will definitely be back. read more

Some of the best snow crab legs around. The garlic butter sauce is delicious. The place is tiny so have plan b if it's full.

My favorite seafood spot in Orlando (well Eatonville) right now! I'm not too much a boil in the bag seafood kinda girl I like my seasonings and my butter! Madcrab's seasoning is absolute perfection!! I've been eating them for years & they NEVER disappoint! Even their different flavor lemonades are good! & of course I love to support my people, they are black owned! If you haven't tried them I would urge you to so you aren't missing out on your blessing lol read more

Nice small and cozy place, family business, Employees very nice. The food was awesome, if you have a low tolerance for salt tell them light salt. The homemade flavored lemonades are really good and sweet. The place got crowded pretty quickly for a Friday of course. All the employees are very helpful constantly tending to your needs. This family owned business is what we need more of. read more

Honestly, one of the best seafood places ever. My usual order is the snow crab combo and I just add shrimp for $5 more, which is a steal. Super flavorful. Smothered in Cajun buttery goodness.

Mad Crab Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This place is the personification of a hole in the wall place that offers big flavors. Factor in a friendly staff and great prices and you truly have a winning combination. I chose the fish sandwich and fries after several customers recommended it. While they use tilapia, which is a fish I rarely eat due to the negative findings that has come out on it, it was simply amazing and the price for this sandwich, which was two filets with garlic bread and a slew of french fries was seven dollars. This was quite the deal and so perfectly prepared. Well seasoned and properly cooked. I enjoyed each and every bite. This place, as mentioned, is small and not in a fashionable neighborhood, but this should not dissuade you from trying here. Like the old adage, "Good things come in small packages," this place is truly a gem. read more

Mad Crab Seafood - 1lb snow crabs, 1/2lb sausage, 1/2lb shrimp and lobster tail - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Passed this place a few times while driving through Eatonville & finally pinned it to stop by. I decided to do a date night with movie & seafood & this was the perfect place to get food from. I got here at about 5:30 and by reading the reviews i had and idea what i wanted but to be safe instead of calling in my order i opted to order there. I ordered 1lb of snow crabs with shrimp, corn and egg. I ordered a 10 piece of lemon pepper wings & 2 lemonades ( pineapple mango & pineapple peach). I read so much about the banana pudding so i figured they would be sold out & they were she told me the customer before me got the last one. Her younger son overheard me asking and just my luck he had one in the back for himself but he let me buy it!! My order was ready in about 25 minutes. I ordered a extra butter ($0.75). To have just in case. My tray came with 3 clusters. The food was SPECTACULAR that banana pudding taste like a piece of heaven!!!! I called soon as they opened on Saturday to get some more pudding but they didn't have any. I would most definitely recommend this place & i already have recommended it to friends. The people that work there were all professional & the place was clean. Can't wait to visit again! read more

IDK what they do, but they need to keep doing it! The food is so good. We ordered the Dungeness crab platter (2lbs) 15 shrimp, 2 corn, and potatoes, and between the 3 if us we left stuffed and happy, and still had more left. The way they cook the crab makes the shells soft enough to break with your hands, thiugh the tools are useful to get every last bit! The outside of the place may raise some questions in your head, but believe me, the food is delicious. The staff are nice and facilitating. As some mention it is predominantly a take out place as the seating area is small and compact. If you call ahead and place your order you'll be better off. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way if you have too, but the food here is some if the best I've had, the rub they use may be a tad salty for some, is amazing. read more

Mad Crab Seafood - Dungeness crab with shrimp, potatoes, corn, & eggs. - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Mad crabs! Well, I bet you would be mad I dropped you into a pot of boiling water alive. So I understand why they're mad but I will have to say there's something about an Mad Crab that tastes better that I happy crab. The building is very small and old. There's a real lack of seeded so we ended up sitting outside. Outside is a small porch the sun was Blazing right on us. Every time the wind would blow picking up big woft of rotten trash smell. I was about to take a starter off because this. For the food came I was nothing but plus plus plus Stars. As far as food taste flavor quality and service I would give this place higher than a 5-star if I could. The crab how to dry rub sprinkled over the top and however they could get it also soaked in the flavor. It was very good I even asked if they make their own dry rub which they do. The crab is cooked so perfectly I did not need any special tools to get into it. No crackers, no Fork, no knife. I could easily crack the leg and pulling a tire chunk of meat out of it. You think the koala be difficult to get into possible to apply a little pressure with my thumb and bust it right open. The flavor was so good! And so rich, anytime you crack some shell water and flavor we just pour out of it. It was really delicious! Another review said this is mostly a takeout place and this is mostly true. Seating is very limited and hard to come by. Location is very busy and does sellout. read more

I was in the area and ended up stopping by. The food was super fresh and good. I got the dungeness crab cluster, shrimp, egg, sausage, corn and potatoes combo. It was all for around $25, which is a great deal! The garlic butter and seasoning was really tasty. My mom got the bbq wings, which are pictured below. read more

I've found my new favorite wing spot! We happened to be in the neighborhood, so I decided to try this place. I was a bit scared when I saw other reviews cite long wait times. It wasn't busy, and they told me the wait on an order of wings would be 15 minutes, so I decided to give it a go. I am so glad I did! I got an order of Mad Crab Savory wings, and they were some of the juiciest, most flavorful wings I've ever had! They were perfection! If the wings are any indication of how the rest of their food is, they've got a customer for life! read more

Mad Crab Seafood - Mad Crab Savory wings. Oh so good! I might never try another flavor! - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Let's first level-set; what kind of foodie are you? Are you a food snob, craving perfection in your dishes? That's fine....you'll want to sit this one out....BUT, if you are a food adventurer willing to dig in to the experience and get your grub on. (& Maybe get a little dirty along the way)....then let's roll! Please note....before reading anything into any critical comments.....I'm still rating this place a well-deserved 4 out of 5. This is not gourmet by a long shot.....in fact it's very messy eating' (this was one of the messiest meals I've eaten).....But, it was indeed so tasty! The location was just a little shop nestled between Eatonville & Maitland. Seating is minimal....literally just a couple of tables. Not really a parking lot either....just a few places to park along the road in front of the unassuming building. This place is probably better served for take out, or your favorite food delivery service etc.....although I got the impression that I could have struck up some good conversation with the guys there if I I had dined in. First up....the menu.....it's visually loud and confusing. Lots to absorb.....it caused me a bit of stress that nearly caused me to skip this place.....but, there's a lot of options to customize here. These folks want to make sure that to have what you want when you walk away. The gist of the menu is that you get a combo.....it's a bunch of food piled in a tin (crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, eggs, sausage).....pick your crab types and go.....quite a meal when all is said and done. The meal.....let's face it.....most of us love garlic butter for our crab legs....it's the perfect addition. Well, these guys take it to the next level. They have perfected the garlic/butter/Cajun seasoning drip for their crab legs....and their shrimp.....so here is the messy part.....everything is drenched in it.....that's OK....it's tasty....it compliments the food. I read another review that called it liquid magic.....I understand the sentiment. Were the crab legs and shrimp cooked to perfection? Not really, but still cooked well enough. I'll Add that the potatoes, sausage, & eggs were an outstanding side to the shellfish! Bottom line. I'll be back. Very tasty. Try it and get ready to get messy. read more

My husband and I had carry out from Mad Crab for dinner on a Saturday. We called in our order. Just a little tip, they are very popular on the weekend. We called our order in just after 4 and they sold out not too long after that. I recommend calling in your order and picking up. I think our order took about 45 minutes to be ready. When we arrived, we waited just a couple minutes. The staff was helpful and friendly. We decided to get some of their house made juices. I got a pineapple juice which I took home and added vodka. Yum!! We got a side of corn nuggets which were delicious. I got the steamed shrimp combo (10 shrimp). It was so flavorful and very filling- comes with corn, potatoes, and egg. Definitely a messy meal so make sure you are sitting down and have plenty of napkins. My husband got the crawfish combo. He also enjoyed his meal. Sadly, they were sold out of dessert (banana pudding) by the time we got there. But that must be a sign that it's good! I felt that the price was very fair for the feast we enjoyed. We will definitely return! read more

It's the best seafood in Orlando and you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't order from here. Catch the mad crab while they are still small - because when people find out - this place will be nonstop. Also - top 3 wings in Orlando. Not joking read more

I was so annoyed that I called four times before I could call my pickup order in. However, all of that was forgotten once I got there. When I entered I saw black and white people licking their fingers and smacking their lips. The seafood looked as pictured on her social media. I was greeted like family. The owner and the cashier were very pleasant. You can tell that they really care about their food quality and customers!!! They opened all my orders to make sure it was prepared how I wanted it!! Love that!! I ordered 5 Hot Garlic wings, 5 BBQ Wings, $25 Snow Crab Tray (2 clusters, 10 shrimp, egg, potatoes, corn, and sausage), $18 Lobster Tray (1 Lobster, 3 Shrimp, potatoes, egg, corn, and sausage), Extra $.60 House wing sauce (OMG Sooo Good), Pineapple Carribean, Pineapple Lemonade, and Pineapple Mango juice!!!! The juices are soooo good too! Yassssss Ms. Moe (owner)! This place is a hidden gem!! The seafood was fresh and so full of flavor because she adds her special seafood butter sauce!!!! I most definitely will be returning. read more

Mad Crab Seafood - Create Your Own Combo - snow crab, shrimp, sausage - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I HIGHLY recommend this 8-yr-old, mainly To Go business that remained open during Covid & still thrives today. 10 STARS for Owner/Chef Mo & her bestie Areta for serving up not only an INCREDIBLE To Go seafood boil, but serving it up w/ their large, spirited personalities! Open Thursday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday, if you LOVE seafood & don't need a large, frilly chain-type atmosphere, ya gotta come here! There's not much room to sit (see pic), so your best bet will be to take your food on out the door. It's what I did. We English teachers love to play around w/ language, so to impress my kids I'm going to use some of their words & phrases to describe this small, local business. I'm gonna be EXTRA. I admit it; I was THIRSTY; I desperately needed some great snow crab, mussels, shrimp, corn, sausage & potatoes, & I didn't want to spend money on some LAME chain that would charge me for its pretty dining room. I wanted to take it home so I could CHILL. Yes, I'm throwing some corporate SHADE:) This eatery is FIRE; it's the place to come for excellent seafood (& likely wings) @ fair prices! It may not have the aestetics of GUCCI, but it's DEFINITELY GUCCI! You're going to get TURNT once you get home & sit down to one of the many seafood offerings. Chef Mo, you really need to FLEX because you DISH an incredible seafood boil w/ the largest muscles & clams I've ever seen! Both were so tender & JUICY-- packed w/ flavor! Mo is ON FLEEK-- offering just a perfect boil @ the right price! As long as she KEEP IT 100, I'll definitely return the next time I'm in the area. Don't believe me? I'm going to KEEP IT REAL, so read on you connoisseurs of LEGIT seafood... There's seafood varieties for EVERYONE-- 10 Combo meals that include everything from Lobster & Crab to Shrimp & Crawfish. (SEE wall menu pic.) There are 5 Mad Crab Specials; my #3 Combo was $29.95. (See the SNATCHED pic.) You can choose from four flavors, but it's an additional $1.50 if you want more than one. There are three Fried Shrimp meals, each served w/ French fries & Corn Nuggets. There's a Fried Tilapia Dinner w/ shrimp & a Tilapia Sandwich. Ten sides are offered, although not all are offered daily. Here's a few of what's on the menu: Garlic Eggs; Corn Nuggets; Cheese Sticks; Garlic Bread; Garlic Potatoes; & Veggie of the Day. There are WINGS! They come in sets of 5, 10, 20, & 50. Choose from 20 wing flavors! YES, I said 20! (House & Mad Crab Savory flavors will cost you more.) There is an additional wing charge for the following: extra wet wings, all flats, & all drums. All major credit cards are accepted. No cash refunds-- "store credit only." Curbside Pickup is available. Use Grubhub & Bite Squad for delivery. Mo & Areta, it was a pleasure to meet you. You two wonderful ladies are the G.O.A.T. And the seafood was LIT! Thank you for cooking up & serving up a delicious seafood entree w/ a side of those big smiles. The Combo that I drove all the way back to North Tampa is so large that I'll happily eat it for days. I share lots of food, but this entree shall be ALL MINE. You can call me SALTY:) read more

Soooo good. We're so glad we made the trip out here to try this place out. The food was AMAZING but for management/staff was even better. I can tell they take pride in what they do, and they go out of your way to make you feel at home. We got the snow crab shrimp combo. The garlic shrimp was also super yummy! I really want to come back before we fly back home. I heard they have really good banana pudding, but you have to come early as they run out. I will say, the dining room is a bit on the small side, can probably fit 12-15 people or so. So if you have a large group I would recommend calling it in and taking it to go. read more

Had a craving for fried fish and remembered Mad Crab was right on my route home. Having never been here, I was looking forward to a great meal after reading all of the stellar reviews. My dinner was okay, but not worth the price I paid IMO. I ordered the 2 piece tilapia meal with 6 shrimp (included fries, garlic toast and corn nuggets) for $12. While the fries were plentiful, they were soggy and the fish portion was very small. The menu specified hush puppies were included with the dinner, but I was given corn nuggets instead. While they were good (and the highlight of the dinner), it would have been nice if they had told me they would be making the substitution. read more
