Had never had a seafood boil, but certainly was on our list to try. My son had been off for spring break so we went to check it out. When we got there I loved how open the space was. It was very clean looking and we were the first ones in! Our waitress came out quickly and gave us menus, suggestions, and all the available options. We opted not to do the all you can eat... though there is that option.... We got scallops, crab, sausage, and shrimp. We added potatoes and corn and also had coleslaw Everything was excellent! And we'll absolutely be returning! read more

Stopped by after work and didn't look over the menu beforehand. My mistake! It's extremely expensive for what was served. I was hungry for crab legs. The legs served were not very well cleaned and seemed of a lower quality. I was also told it was 2lbs but it didn't seem that way. The staff was nice and friendly. The restaurant looks nice. However I think in Albuquerque Red Lobster is a much better deal for crab legs. Or make them at home. In Tucson AZ the asian buffets on weekends have all you can eat legs for 27 dollars. I do not plan to return here. read more

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. read more

Meet Crab - Seafood Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I called a week prior to my event with 7 guests and easily made a reservation for Saturday evening. Through the week I updated my head count with the restaurant and they were able to accommodate 12 of us for a bday celebration. Incredible service from start to finish, very easy to split the bill between everyone at the register, and many in the party agreed it was all-around better quality and pricing than CC (other crab place). Will definitely be back! read more

My husband I stopped here the other day for date night and wow! We've heard about this place and finally got around to trying it out. They have plenty of seating and it was empty when we went. The menu has three combos and you can build your own combo as well. They do have an AYCE option too which is the first time I've seen that with a seafood boil! We ended up not getting that and just built our own combos. Their spice levels are what they say they are! It is quite expensive compared to Storming Crab or Cracking Crab but definitely worth it. You can also tell in the quality of their seafood. We will definitely be back! read more

There are so many reasons why I'm giving this a low score. 1: we waited 20 minutes in line outside while there were several empty tables. Waited 10 minutes for someone to even give us a menu 2: we ordered the crab legs, lobster tails, etc with the Cajun butter which tasted amazing. Unfortunately they ran out of corn but it was fine because our order came with extra potatoes and sausage. Our order had at most 3-4 sausage pieces and hardly any potatoes either 3: asked repeatedly for scissors for the crab legs and didn't receive them until we were ready to leave 4: there was hardly any staff walking around, one person cleaning all the dirty tables, 2 people passing out menus, food and taking orders, and seating the people in the line outside. Ultimately I would not recommend this restaurant because it's clear they do not function well while busy and the amount of food received is not worth the price. read more

I've been here a few times, and each time is as good as the last. I enjoy the quality of the seafood and the seasoning. The server was very attentive and quick. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Meet Crab - snow crab, headless shrimp, corn, sausage - Seafood Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

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. read more

Best seafood boil in town!!! Every time we've come it was so delicious and the service is always exceptional! Daisha always takes great care of our whole family! read more

I was there Dec 23. It was not even worth 1 star.. We did the all you can eat buffet and for 1 order it took 40 minutes! When told about it, they were extremely rude to say the least. Our waiter Guam shouldn't work anywhere near customer service because he does not know the definition! It was awful and unacceptable. On top of all that, it was my birthday and they completely ruined it. I was so upset. The owner had no empathy for there mistake of not putting the order in!!! I will never be back. read more

AMAZING FOOD 10/10 taste, seasoning and good amount of portions of food. Our waitress Reyna was very kind and was very helpful of explaining the menu to us with whatever questions we had ! read more

First time visiting NM. We wanted to try something different. New Mexico has plenty of Mexican food and why not try this place. Let me tell you, if you are reading this review, do not hesitate and give this place a try! There is plenty of where to sit. No waiting time. Great customer service, shoot out to the waiter. Also, the interaction of the owner to come out to our table to greet us and ask if our food was good shows how much they care for their customers. We ordered Combo A with combination of Hot and Fire WOW the crab, shrimp, crap legs, corn, red potatoes and sausage all mixed in had an AMAZING FAVOR!! We also ordered the fried calamari.. it was good. read more

amazing service from Cindy, Elecia, Mark, Guan and Raina. Sometimes they get slammed and all the servers can handle their own whenever it happens. Friendliest and fastest service I've experienced. I will note that it is NOT all you can eat crab, you get 2 lbs which is a pretty reasonable price in ABQ, and then you get unlimited appetizers, shrimp (w or w/o head), clams, mussels, crawfish, and all the sides (corn, potato, sausage, egg, rice). So essentially just paying for the crab. Overall amazing experience! read more

Omggggg you should come here immediately!! it's super yummy got some seafood and had a good variety and the QUALITY IS AMAZING!!!! it's got a lot of meat or (meet)! the service was very good quick and speedy and the people are very nice so everyone should come and make this place popular Meet out read more

Recently found this place while looking for cajun nearby. Never realized it was there! They have an all you can eat option for those who are truly starving, but Ive always gotten just a pound of shrimp with corn, sausage and potatoes. They do have combos for those in a party which will definitely fill you up and have some leftover to take home. The sauces are just right in my opinion. Not too thick and not too runny. Modern day vibe but they of course provide bibs gloves and the tools needed to get cracking. read more

The service was great, the server answered all my questions and explained menu. The food was really good. The kitchen whipped out the food very promptly. I like the decoration of the place with all the license plates on the wall. They give you tools in order for you to get your crab meat out. The scissors were the most helpful and I've never had safety scissors at a boiling crab place. Would be coming back again worth the drive from across town. read more

Great food and service. Not from the area, but I would definitely come back and eat here again.

We three went for lunch around noon on a Sunday. We were greeted warmly and told to sit wherever we wanted. Tat, our server, came over to us and explained the menu. We chose the Combo B (mild Meet house sauce), coleslaw and a coke. The food was fresh and delicious. At one point, the very nice owner came by to see how our meal was. Tat also checked on us several times. The room is decorated simply and tastefully. The restaurant and restrooms are very clean. The prices are within reason. We highly recommend and will return. read more

We wanted to try something new and heard they have AYCE seafood. Well it's kinda like that. You choose between to price points red and yellow. Red allows you to have crab and you can only get the crab one time. And of some other items where limited to one go around. They also state if you don't eat it all. You have to pay for it. Portions were good for the first round and the 2nd round was so much that you almost felt set-up. Ended up taking home extra bc one person couldn't eat all the extras they brought out. The 2nd round could feed 3 people easily. So for 3 people we paid close to 170 bucks. 50 each for AYCE adults and 30 for a kid. That's for the drinks and shrimp and clams we had to take home. The food was delish and enjoyed the seafood. Worth a try but be careful with the AYCE. read more

We had the all you can eat sea food boil deal and it was DELICIOUS AND AMAZING, excellent food and service, the amount we paid was will worth the quality of the sea food prepared including the 60 mile drive, it was AWESOME to have the co-owner Young come to our table and make sure we were taking care of.

The BEST seafood in Albuquerque. The food reminds me of a clambake at the beach My wife and I just loved it. The owner came to our table to make sure everything was good, WOW, when does that ever happen. We have tried different seafood restaurants around town, as they can be a hit or miss but this is going to be our go-to seafood restaurant from now on. Everything was clean, and the waitress was friendly You know it's hard to find places like this anymore. So if you are looking for a great seafood restaurant. Give Meet Crab a try.

could've been better for sure! granted I'm from Houston & I am used to expensive seafood. But to charge $5 for a small cup of butter to me is a little outlandish. already started at $60 for 1pb of shrimp & crab, which is fine! But instead of there being a $1 difference to switch between clams (14.89) and mussels (15.89) they charged me $5 for the difference. There calamari was HUGE, every state I've been in, even country, calamari is served fried and small and crunchy, here however, the calamari was the size of onion rings & did not taste like any calamari I've ever had. Even when I opened the bag for my seafood boil, every where I've been I've been met with an instant amazing seasoning smell from the bag, juice in the bag and everything! the bag smelled purely of mussels & some garlic, not even butter, not even salt. that's all :) read more

Omg. Best seafood in Abq. This beats crackin crab, storming crab, and every other place. The house sauce is soooo good. The seafood is fresh, hot and so flavorful. I didn't need any other butter because the sauce it was cooked in was delicious. Most places do happy hour before 4- this place does it from open until 4! So perfect for lunch time. Will definitely be back. Great prices, great seafood, good music, clean and professional atmosphere. I ordered the scallops, clams, and headless shrimp is the house sauce. So delicious and enough for leftovers. Will be coming back to do an all you can eat when I'm super hungry next time! read more

It was absolutely delicious! Mark was great & very good at explaining the menu. Seafood was as fresh as it can be...

A newly opened boiled seafood restaurant in Albuquerque. Very friendly and nice staff. Food is EXCELLENT and very cost effective. Our family had a blast there. Will come back again soon. Highly recommended: fried oysters, Cajun chicken and of course their seafood combo. Combo #2 is very comprehensive and tasty. read more

A spacious and tasty place. The staff was nice and accommodating about my friend and I's shrimp allergy by substituting in clams. Three things that need attention. Google map maps to the Village Inn but it's located next to the Dollar Tree. No huge visible signage from San Mateo. Lastly, too much salt in seasoning! Not high blood pressure friendly. I appreciate the seasoning but I wanna taste the seafood more. But definitely would return for more. This place would be great for large groups too. read more

I am hesitant to post this because I have never had an experience like this before.. My husband and I went to go give meet crab a try last night ( wednesday ) after all these amazing reviews! I mean a 4.9 is hard to come by... While speaking to the server, she had pulled her notebook and dropped a bag with a white substance.. she picked it up and we told her we needed more time.. ended up leaving without ordering because we will NOT support any establishment that allows drug use. No I do not know for certain that it was drugs but she was super loud and jittery from hello, it was not hard to believe that she was using. Even if the owners don't know they sure do make her feel like it's okay if she had it on her person. We will not be returning and I will not be recommending this restaurant solely based off the clear drug use going on with the staff. read more
