Food and service was excellent! My only complaint is that I wish they would blend the sauce as there is too much garlic pieces. I love garlic but this was way too much! read more

Master Crab - Seafood Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

When I came to leave a review I was shocked to see this was only 3.3 stars. We are in Cape Coral visiting family and went here for lunch based on a recommendation. The food was excellent and the service was great as well. read more

Don't order fried fish or scallops the cook doesn't pay the items dry because when you pick up your food all the breading falls off all of the fish items. Bar person is good because my grand daughter had 4 drinks & was totally drunk glad I drank lemonade read more

This is one of my favorite places, I've been here several times, and I love the shrimp and the options of spices and levels of heat. Today, I opted for the extra spicy, because I've found most places don't live up to that advertising. Let me say, if you opt for the extra spicy, make sure you're ready for that! I love spicy food, but wow, this was an ass kicker. Service has always been great, but my male sever today was less than tip worthy, however, I still left one because that's how's I roll. Ambiance is always pleasing, with relaxing background music and they provide all of the needs for cleaning your hands, your messy face and lips, and a place for all of your shells! Love Master Crab and any time we have visitors from North, we always bring them here! I would have given a full 5 stars, but my server never came back unless I flagged him down and he walked past my table numerous times without checking in. I used to be a server/bartender myself, so I pay attention to these things! This gentleman obviously needs more training! read more

We love Master Crab! Fun atmosphere and great food! I had the 3 lobster tails- split between n the boil bag with the corn cob and two red potatoes for the very reasonable market price of $45.95. You pay $30 for a lobster roll sandwich in Maine! So this is definitely a great deal. My husband opted for the blue crab, crab legs and clams boil bag combo. We both get the master spent ce combo of medium Cajun spices, lemon and garlic butter combo. Very flavorful- good portions of food. Great drink specials daily. Will definitely be revisiting with family and friends also when in the area! read more

Went here with a family of 5 for a bday dinner. The crab legs were a hit but the crab cakes were not good and my fried fish dinner was so greasy I couldn't eat it. The lobster bisque was ok but too thick and the clam chowder was too thin. And something was wrong with the flavor of the water and therefore the iced tea. Not good. read more

The crab legs were amazing! Very good food. Next time just get the garlic sauce. The combo was too much for seasoning. Drinks were strong and service very friendly! We will be back! read more

This is definitely the best seafood boil in this area! The heat levels aren't consistent but I get medium just to be safe. I like hot but it's been so hot sometimes I can't eat it. Medium has been that way as well. The master crab special sauce is amazing. The sweet potato waffle fries are some of the best I've had and I get them every time as a dessert. The ambiance is nice and typical for a seafood boil joint. Our service was not bad this visit however upon being greeted by the server there was this mildew, rancid smell that was undeniable. When he came back with our plates and bucket I thought it was maybe dirty dish water and smelled all the dishes but nothing. I was like maybe it's dirty mop water, but the smell was only present when he was around. I came to the conclusion it was him. It was not a typical b.o. smell but rather a rancid, mildew smell like when u have stinky shoes that get wet. It was bad enough that when he came to the table I had to hold my nose and turn my head. It made me nauseous. There's no way his coworker didn't smell it!!!!! I told the mgr and hopefully she addresses it because that should not happen at a food establishment. I will ofc be back but will not accept service from him again. read more

Master Crab - Master crab special sauce combo A. Medium. - Seafood Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

Service was fine, nothing over the top. We ordered a special combo c + green mussels as our main, and hush puppies as our appetizer. Hush puppies tasted like fried unseasoned dough, wish it had some kick to it like jalapeño chunks inside the dough. Our special combo c + green mussels, it felt as if it sat and dried out before it was brought to us. Nothing was hot like it was freshly cooked, no steam. We opted for all seasonings mixed with medium heat.. was slightly spicy.. Seasoning was... present but not flavorful. Thoroughly disappointed overall, won't be returning. read more

Went there for a Lenten Friday, Wife had the lobster and I had the fried seafood platter, outstanding and lots of food read more

If you like your mono sodium glutamate with a hint of seafood. Try the deep fried anything. As an msg sensitive person I can tell you this place overdoses. King Crab legs were average quality but high price. read more

1st time there, something new sausage,shrimp and mussels in a bag.We enjoy it lot of flavor. Won't be disappointed.

Shrimp were not cleaned they left the tract in it, their calamari was chewy, their snow crab was over cooked. The king crab was great and so was the lobster. read more

Visiting in Cape Coral and a family friend said it was new and we should try. Certainly a great choice. We had 7 people in our party and was seated right away. The service was great our server was amazing. Staff made great suggestion. Food was hot fresh and tasty, well seasoned. This is certainly somewhere to visit if you're looking for a good seafood boil in a bag. The drinks are good too!! Pretty strong read more

3 things about this place: 1. Master Crab is formerly known as Mr. & Mrs. Crab. Same management as before and the owner was very welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice although to-go order was made. 2. The quality of the seafood was fantastic. Crawfish and shrimp were ordered with the House Special sauce and the food was ready in 10 min. 10 minutes for food to get ready? I was super impressed and the bag was hot. Shrimp outnumbered crawfish as they were bigger in size and there was something about their shrimp. It was different than other seafood boil place I have been to in a good way. Hush puppies were crispy and good and went well with the ranch. 3. Price was amazing and I was pretty surprised when I saw their various menu items. However, I wish the sauce was a little more saucier to dip the meat. Sauce was a little light but the taste made it phenomenal. Prices are increasing so if you want the accurate price for your order, you have to go online and see the prices. Overall, I enjoyed the food here and I highly recommend this place to people looking for great seafood boil spot. I would definitely come back to have this again and try different items on the menu as well. read more

We came to Master Crab after being turned away from two other restaurants that were busy on a Thursday night (snowbirds are back!!). We had a good experience. Service was excellent, restaurant was peaceful and pleasantly decorated, with plenty of booths. We ordered a pound of shrimp which was perfect for two people and two appetizers. Only fault was dirty restrooms, as mentioned in other reviews. read more

We came here for my fiance's birthday dinner last night. The ambiance is nice, the service was great, and we were very comfortable. Now, the downsides...the sweet tea was not good, the unsweet tea was cloudy, the water had a weird taste, and some of the food was too fried, which was not appetizing. Some of the other food was really good. read more

The service was good and the young lady was very kind. The crab spice was decent but way too salty. Just seemed like a ton of spice dropped into a vat of butter. Overall, the food was good and place was clean. I'm still looking for a seafood place that can challenge Submarine Crab in Pembroke Pines. read more

The seafood was very good! I ordered shrimp w/ heads and sausage which came with corn amd potatoes and an order crawfish. The seafood boil was tasty and definitely had the amount of hot spice I like. I got the "all the above" flavors which was delicious. If you don't like spicy food you can ask for non spice or just a little zip then definitely the mild. The bartender was fantastic! She was attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place if you craving a quick seafood fix. The manager and host were polite and thank me for coming in and wished me a great evening. Give this place a try and draw your own opinion. read more

The management is absolutely horrific and there's bugs crawling in the bathroom and near the kitchen where the bar is. During the hurricane they used the water that was not approved by the authorities in the area yet they still used it to cook their product and serve it to their customers. They've had people walk out for bugs! They had to change their name because of this issue and they've been shut down before something needs to be done! read more

Went for the first time .... Calamari was a frozen product, but delish ... I was surprised it was a frozen product considering it's in Cape Coral lol non the less it was fantastic Ordered shrimp, sausage & crawfish Shrimp was fantastic ( fresh) sausage was good Crawfish where disgusting..... please clean the crawfish before serving them. I ate one that was it I do boils all the time .... So I kinda know what I'm talking about Corn and potatoes ....Delish Went back again with a friend Got the calamari.... Delish ! Still frozen lol but really good Ordered lobster & shrimp with garlic butter It was okey this time .... They didn't let the flavors from the garlic butter Marinate long enough .... Kinda of plain but good Felt rushed this time and the place only had a few tables like maybe 6-7. Server definitely rushed our food and the flavor was lost ... Can't get a refill on ice tea to save your life though ... Both times two different servers ... I would recommend for sure 3 stars because the crawfish sucked & begged the servers for ice tea that never came ! Step it up servers ! I would go back read more

I loved this place when it was Mr & Mrs Crab & I love it the same now, if not more. I've been inside to eat a few times but generally my mom & I have it delivered & just eat it at home. We always each get a pound of snow crab legs with the master crab special sauce mild & some Cajun fries! It's always hot delicious, fresh, & tasty! But let me tell you, we had it lastnight & I think it was the best batch of food that we've ever gotten from you there. It was extra delicious & these were the biggest, juiciest crabs ever! Such a good meal! If you're unsure definitely 100% get the special sauce on whatever type of seafood that you generally enjoy. You won't be disappointed read more

Every time we visit Cape Coral, Florida we must stop at Master Crab. If you want to get a full stomach of seafood this is the place! I would have given it a 5-star but they don't have vegetables and eggs available with their seafood boils. Other than that, we always grab 2 lbs of shrimp, 2 lbs of green mussels, 2 lbs of sausage, and 1 lb of lobster tails, and we substitute the potatoes for 6 pcs of corn........ummmmmmmmmm A feast made for a king! The good part about going there is that whatever you don't eat makes a good next-day snack! read more

I went here for an office Christmas luncheon. I wanted to be disappointed by this place and was quite surprised how much I enjoyed the food. I had the sampler with snow crab, lobster and shrimp in the master crab sauce. This sauce was flavorful but not overpowering with all the seafood. The corn and potatoes were cooked perfectly. I am not a fan of just a plain seafood boil, but I think master crab steps it up a notch with the addition of some really good sauce mixtures. Appetizers were good. The cheesecake for dessert was just average. I would have given 5 stars if the bathroom would have been cleaner. That is the biggest thing I want to see when I go out is a clean facility. The bathroom looked like it had experienced high traffic and we were one of just a few tables there that day for lunch. I would return again and see if this establishment can make up for the initial impression with the restroom. read more

I have to say when I went to this place I was nervous because at first it was completely empty but, it was clean. I ordered queen crab legs, with sausage, shrimp, and a hard boiled egg. You choose the seasonings; I ordered Cajun. They steamed it in a bag and I have to say, it was delicious. I ate all of it. Within 10 minutes of arriving there the place began to fill up and it was very festive inside, I will most definitely go back to this place and I highly recommend this place to anyone who likes seafood. Very good food. read more

The food we did order was really tasty but clearly all frozen. The waiter stalked us about 5 times for order, after his second visit we told him we are first time diners and planning on ordering a couple of combos at a time. He never stopped. When we did order combo dinner, he decided to put all seafood in one bag. Looked so skimpy. We could not get out fast enough but even if we did want to order more combos, he never came back. No water refills or checking for another round of drinks. Nothing. By the time I paid we all were standing. Luckily we saved money so we will be checking out Merricks tonight. read more

So we found ourselves here for dinner. For the type of food it was, it was good. It is not fine dining or fresh food. It is frozen/ fried food and if the is what you are into you will be happy. The food is crispy and not greasy so.......:have at it! I had onion rings and coconut shrimp. Hubby got the chicken tenders and fries. The other people got fried clam strips and fries with a side of hush puppies. They thought it was a delicious fried food fix. The place was clean as were the bathrooms. Wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Good seafood. Good value. Family friendly. Convenient location in Cape Coral. We'll be back.

Went for a new years dinner, I was so excited to try this place. Their food is all purchased by Sysco (or some other restaurant supplier) - fried apps, Mac and cheese, fries, coleslaw, ranch, coconut shrimp, crab cakes. Every bit of it not made by them and at the most thrown in the fryer. Okay, so beyond that, this is a crab place so the crab has to be good at least, right? Our crab was so difficult to eat - the meat didn't come out of the shell well at all. I've never fought so hard for crab legs. Everyone else at our large table noticed it as well. That being said, the master crab seasoning was good. Next time I'm craving crab I'll probably go somewhere else. read more

I never review on yelp, but this place was so good I feel it's worth it. The master crab may have been the highlight of the trip. Best seafood I've ever had. The service was phenomenal; our waitress, Stephanie, took very good care of us, and knew everything there was to know about the menu and what was good. The overall vibe of the place was also something worth visiting for. If feels like a mom and pop hometown seafood spot. A place I will definitely visit again if I'm ever in town! read more

We've come for sit in service where we're always met with fantastic service and fresh delicious food and we've ordered for delivery where the food comes JUST AS GOOD! That's always a huge tell on how great a restaurant is, and Master Crab is a winner in our books! The fried platter, the massive servings in the seafood boils down to the Cajun fries, it's all good! read more

Ok but not great. Portions were small, both my wife and I stopped for take-out on the way home

This place is the worst don't wast your money or your time. Prices are outrageous food quality is horrible and portion size was like a kid's menu. So after we left we went to Publix and cooked some real food at home. This place should be out of business as soon as the owners run out of money. Anyway just pass on this one. read more

Love this place. Seafood bags with garlic sauce are delicious. Have come several times and always pleased with it.

What a ripoff. Per the restaurant's name, I ordered crab and received a cadaver. Gave it back. My date's crab legs were seriously overpriced. Won't go again. read more

Was excited to try this place. Not sure how they are on business. Way over priced to begin with as well as I was starving for crab legs. So I paid the price. They are brought dunked in whatever sauce you want but try cracking legs in drunken sauce! Garlic bread is frozen bread stick with a pre made garlic butter. Very disappointed! Especially in Florida where we know our seafood and our prices. read more
