    An all-you-can-eat seafood buffet... mostly. A group of us came in for an early dinner and had the all-you-can-eat buffet. A couple things... there are two price points - the less expensive option does not include crab and has some limitations on things like wings. The more expensive option does include crab but a maximum of pounds. The variety of seafood is limited, and each round you order takes a very long time. The headless shrimp are the best I've had at one of these places and try the ninja fries. But maybe steer clear of the mango pudding.

    Very good! They have an all you can eat broil before 745pm. We've been a couple times. The only con is service is a little slow BUT it's because most tables are filled. Also our shrimp has been over cooked each time so it's kinda chewy other than that I recommend it for seafood broil.

    As we continue our restaurant date through the alphabet, this week was the letter M. We tried Meet crab. Again this was a new restaurant to us. We got snow crab, scallops, headless shrimp and we added clams. All bags included potatoes, sausage and corn. We also added some bread. We got the medium garlic butter. Normally we would have gotten the fire, but as I have gotten older my stomach can not handle the heat lol. It came out hot and and fast. The whole meal was delicious and filling. It was a great value for the price. We will definetly go back. We also have leftovers for another meal.

    Additional bowl of butter (Costs about $3.50)

    Located in an older, somewhat empty shopping plaza in Albuquerque, New Mexico, provided an intriguing dining experience. We visited late at night, about an hour before closing, which might have contributed to the empty feel of the place. Upon arrival, we sat toward the back, away from other diners, which initially seemed pleasant for a quiet evening. Our waitress was helpful and explained the menu thoroughly. We were almost sold on the unlimited seafood option but lost interest when we found out the unlimited did not include crab. Instead, we ordered a single seafood bag to split and added a pound of Dungeness crab to our snow crab bag, opting for medium spice in garlic, along with two sodas. While waiting for our food, a large family with incredibly disruptive children was seated next to us. The kids were loud, banged on tables, and ran around the restaurant, disturbing other diners. Despite the commotion, the staff did nothing to manage the situation. In contrast, a homeless man who quietly entered and sat at the entrance was swiftly confronted by kitchen staff and asked to leave, causing a loud altercation when he started yelling. This inconsistency in handling disturbances was frustrating. The atmosphere of Meet Crab was confusing, with a mix of license plates on the wall and light-up wings for photo ops, leaving us unsure of the theme. However, the bathrooms were clean enough. When it came to the food, Meet Crab delivered an excellent dining experience. We were provided with all the necessary crab-eating tools, including scissors and gloves, which were unique and very useful. The food arrived hot and fresh, featuring generous portions of crab, peel-and-eat shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn. The portions were impressive, beating out any other crab place we've visited. We were stuffed by the end and still had some leftovers, which is remarkable for a single bag split between two people. While the food was outstanding and offered great value, the service towards the end of the night was lacking. It seemed the staff's attentiveness dwindled as closing time approached, possibly due to the lateness of our visit. Additionally, the disturbances from the unruly children and the homeless man made it difficult to fully appreciate the meal. In conclusion, if you're in the area and looking for excellent seafood, Meet Crab is worth considering for its fantastic food and generous portions. However, the service, atmosphere, and other customers may detract from the overall experience. We might return for the food but would hope for a quieter, more controlled dining environment next time.

I ordered a Michelada cocktail, which was equally delicious. The lobster deviled eggs were fantastic. My wife isn't really a seafood fan so she ordered a green chile smash burger. She enjoyed hers greatly as well. Our server was very attentive and eager to ensure we had a great meal experience. Will definitely go back. The only needs improvement I see is I would've liked to have had a bloody Mary and that wasn't one of the listed items on the cocktail menu.

Unfortunately, they didn't ask us if we had a special occasion we were celebrating, but overall the service was great. The ambiance was pretty nice and there is a back patio that has a few tables. They have a large array of oysters from the east coast and west coast. The oysters and the way they served and prepared were good. They do have raw clams also which I thought strange, but I'm probably just not fancy enough. We ordered a few appetizers including green chili hush puppies which seemed to need a little more Smokey green chili flavor and they were a bit dry. The lobster deviled eggs are sort of tart and flavorless and I didn't get any lobster on mine. My friend said the lobster rolls were good, and I had a salmon special that was out of this world delicious and cooked to perfection!! The red curry mussels were also outstanding!! Could use a bit more spice and salt, but really good. One of the kiddos didn't want raw food, but he also couldn't find much on the menu for kids. They were out of what he ordered and when they finally did get his order, his food came out about 15 minutes after the rest of the table. They did comp out appetizers so that was nice, but in my opinion they should have comped his meal since they didn't have what he wanted and then served him so much later. Their alcoholic fancy beverages were great. I had a glass of wine that was good. I would suggest offering more wines and meals from the adjacent wine bar and restaurant to Lure as well. They have a few kinks to work out, but I think they are on the right track. There is no phone so it's very difficult to make a reservation. I recommend visiting this place and trying some of their food during off hours. I'm not sure I'd recommend their appetizers yet, but with a few tweaks they will improve. Cheers!
