First. The service was GREAT. We we greeted right away and led to our table. The server was friendly and attentive all during our visit. The restaurant is quite large and has a couple of dining rooms and a bar. There were only a few diners when we arrived, but it started filling up right after we arrived. We had fried calamari and soup as appetizers. The issue was the soup was cold. I was seriously disappointed because I love soup, clam chowder and gumbo being my favorites. The 'boil' (in our case shrimp and scallops) was excellent. Our server opened it on our plates, refilled our drinks, and made sure we were ready to eat. The only shortcoming was the the soup. Since then, I have looked at other's reviews and noticed Mighty Crab seems to get two out of three things right. The restaurant and service were wonderful for us. The food missed it's mark. read more

The mighty crab is a great place to get a boil bag. If you know what that is, if you don't, you should come and find out! You can get a steamed bag of crab or you can get a crab oil which has potatoes and corn and other items in it and they are excellent. They have drinks of various kinds that you would enjoy, and they also have a bar for those that prefer that service. It's clean and has a dance floor too if you want to do that and they have live music certain nights of the week. read more

I love the steamed and raw oysters served here, in addition to the variety of sauces provided with them: lemons, horseradish, garlic sauce, hot sauce, etc. My best friend and I were met with super positive energy and a fast-serving server! Only downside was that we aren't allowed to take raw oysters to-go, due to the risk of food borne illness, and the wait to get a table. read more

I Had the catfish basket, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned, fried pickles and fried green tomatoes were awesome. Definitely will return when in the area read more

Food: The food here was THE BEST food I have ever had. For somewhere as boring as Fort Smith, this place makes the whole town 10 times better!!! Not one complaint. Service: Our waiter was fantastic! So friendly and she even was able to give us a discount on what we ordered. Ambiance: The decorations are so cute and fitting! They also had a band playing the entire time to enhance the experience. It also didn't smell too bad like the ocean inside which I appreciate!!! Overall 5/5 I wish I could put 6 stars! MIGHTY CRAB I LOVE YOU!!!! read more

Food and service were excellent! Allison (I think she goes by Allie) was attentive and quick, answered my questions and found the answer if she didn't know. We stopped for lunch so we shared the fried calamari, 6 raw Oysters (Gulf Coast and they were delicious!!) and the Monday special which was a 1/2lb crab legs, black mussels and shrimp with potatoes and corn on the cob. We did the garlic butter, mild and it had a lot of flavor! Definitely recommend! read more

Me and my husband always split an entree, the oysters weren't for him because he doesn't prefer them so I got the half dozen. We shared a boil which had no flavor. It was delivered with no napkins or butter. So, other than an ice cold delicious Coors light on tap: Presentation 10/10 Flavor 2/10 Beer 10/10 Price 4/10 read more

Mighty Crab - Raw oysters - Seafood Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

The Food Was Good But The Customer Service Was Absolutely HORRIBLE The Waitress Took My Order And Didn't Show Up for 10 Minutes After The Very Long Wait She Brought Are Drinks And Food And She Didn't Show Up Afterwards Food Was a Solid 4 Stars service Was 1 Star read more

I almost didn't try this spot when I saw that it only had 3 stars BUT it I'm so glad I did! We started with a dozen of oysters and some sweet potato fries and they were so fresh, we ordered 2 more dozens. The sweet potato fries are waffle fries and they were the best I've had. They came with a caramel sauce which was odd coming from the west coast, but oddly delicious. We ordered the weekend special with the special sauce and a pound of crawfish with the lemon pepper sauce. I say pass on the lemon pepper but the special sauce was delicious. The perfect amount of butter and garlic and everything else you could imagine in a good seafood boil sauce. I read from other reviews about bad service but our server was great and very attentive. She checked on us multiple times and was very friendly. Please ignore all the bad reviews and try this place. You won't be disappointed. I will definitely be coming back when I'm in town! read more

Horrible service random people walking behind checkout counter took forever to get drinks ordered and forever for food to come out even tho the restraunt was nearly empty do not recommend coming here read more

After tonight, we'll never return. Watery crab legs, potato-filled clam soup, and fishy catfish fried in old oil. We told the waiter, who spoke to the owner and came back with, "nothing we can do." The owner couldn't even come talk to us directly. Terrible food and service. No thanks! read more

The seafood boils are so good ... but they are pricey! Be careful when ordering the "lunch specials" as the price on the regular menu are sometimes less. read more

food was okay, the service was literally awful. went last night and had to chase our server down to get to go boxes. she checked on us one time and literally walked away before i could get another drink, then wanted to offer when i asked for the check. read more

I was in town while visiting family and wanted to try some Cajun seafood outside of California. Well, this place was ok. There wasn't enough flavor or spice in the seafood combo. The service was slow for a weekday late afternoon given it was not as busy either. The fried calamari may not be fresh since it did have a chewy texture. I was hoping for some really good calamari too! The restaurant was pretty quiet throughout my dining experience with the family. read more

It's too bad most people only do reviews just to complain. Also too bad they didn't get "good service". As for me though the first time I went it was AMAZING and the servers were very friendly loved the energy and the sauces are good, I've definitely had better but what else but what is there really out here in fort smith lol. I forgot my severs name but I believe it started with a "B" she was really kind and I really appreciated her service! read more

I came on Monday to try this place, and I love the Cajun Monday Special, also the service was exceptional , no complain. When I left this place I forgot my purse and they kept it safe til' I return to pick it up! I am so glad that there's still people with values . Thank you so much Mighty Crab!!! read more

Wait staff was good. Food was plentiful. A good variety of menu options. Prices are as expected for this time in our economy.

I like my shrimp, hot & spicy with the potatoes & sausage. It's always tasty and I get good service when I do take out.

We had the catfish and the fried oysters for takeout and were disappointed with the quality and the bill. Service wasn't needed, yet the still charged us for a tip and a convenience fee which wasn't seen on the device we ordered from. We had a dine-in experience a month ago that was just ok. this time, the food was overcooked and had a burnt taste. Finding a new seafood place next time. read more

We went last Thursday, karaoke night. They had good reviews so why not give it a try. It took forever to get our appetizers and meal. Our waitress was not attentive at all. We had a hard time locating her. She was either at the bar or singing karaoke. The food was okay so I'll give it a star. read more

Food, service and atmosphere was nice. Fun place, good food and a shout out to Rachel. She was our server and was friendly and efficient. We will be back! Thank you. read more

Food was good, service was fair and ambiance was that of a typical seafood restaurant.

Twice I've eaten here and really good. Today for lunch, not so much. Questioning snowcrab quality. Hope I don't get sick. Had the snowcrab & shrimp Boil Bag all 3 times. read more

Yummy. The food could use a little more marinating time. Other than that we enjoy the food

We LOVE seafood and now we LOVE The Mighty Krab . The Prices are reasonable the food is excellent. So our Waiter was named VJ and they done a fantastic job . Story time .... I had lemonade to drink . I had drank not quite half when it was full again , wow I didn't even see that happen. I drank half again , BOOM! Full again . I was determined to empty my glass , didn't happen . We were finished eating and just visiting so I turned towards the people we were with to talk and hid my glass. Finally emptied it but he was trying. That's awesome , keep it up VJ . read more

Very good food!!! And great service They had a great bathroom that I absolutely blew it up (: thank you so much to all the staff who have to get the stains out I highly recommend the mighty crab!! read more

The food was decent, definitely not what you pay for it! They need more options for non seafood eaters. My wife goes with me and they don't have many options. read more

Poor example of a seafood restaurant. Service was horrible , food was overpriced and all around lacking. We'll at least there is a bar. Nope, they failed to mention the bar was not open yet. Very disappointing. read more

My family went for lunch & enjoyed the meal very much. Our waitress was friendly & explained everything to us since we had never been there before. We had the sampler plate,snow crab leg combo, and shrimp po boy. My grandson had the chicken nuggets & fries. Everything was perfectly cooked. We went during lunchtime & was seated right away. The decor was very nice & booths were large enough to have plenty of room without feeling crowded. We will definitely go back someday. read more

Went to mighty Crab in Fort Smith. The fried sampler platter was good but my sister and I had discussed the boil bag before we even went. I told her they were charging way too much for this. You only get a little bit of food, you can't trade out what you don't eat and what in the heck is with the sausage and eggs? I've read the reviews. My gut instinct was right. People are complaining about the price, about being double charged on their cards and not getting refunds, and how the bag tastes like it is from the freezer and no flavor. It seems like the mighty crab has made enemies in Fort Smith. This is not good for them because once word gets around, it can kill a business. I had discussed the pricing with my sister and we decided that when we want to do a boil, we will just get seafood ourselves and boil it with some crawfish boil with potatoes and corn.....NOT sausage and eggs. What a freakin' joke. I don't know who brainstormed this, but it is a failure. A complete failure. People are saying it's flavorless and this is probably, if they are right, because it may come frozen and precooked which means it is being heated up in hot water which is a huge mistake when it comes to seafood. The prices are way overpriced and people that don't know any better will pay it. They give you three or four things but some things may not be what you even eat and you can't trade it out for somethng you do eat. A 1/2 pound of Crawfish????? Shrimp?????? What are you going to do with a 1/2 pound of Crawfish????? LOL Then they have sausage and eggs added to a boil? What the heck? These things have no place in a boil They are putting them there because they are cheap products and they still charge outreageous prices. POtatoes and Corn...yes....Bad sausage and eggs belong in the garbage can. Eggs? Where??? How???? Why???? Disgusting!!! Sausage in Arkansas is, for the most part, not edible and should never be called sausage. It is made with filler and it is mushy so why would you want that in a boil. It isn't seafood, if it's not real sausage then there's nothing special about it. Eggs??? This is the most ignorant thing I've ever seen in my life. Feeding someone some garbage and charging these prices...it is shameful and I am embarrased for them for their ignorance. I am also sorry that Fort Smith has to deal with a place like this. I mean it's not complicated. You can buy your own seafood and throw it in the pot and cook it like it was intended. Harp's has crab legs, but frozen, 3 pounds $12.99, Walmart has Shrimp for less than $6. Sea's Seafood on Towson has other seafood. You can make it right yourself and have better quality and quantity. Now, all the negative I had to say, I will say that the platter was quite acceptable for being in Arkansas. The service to us was great. I did notice thathardly no one was there. Once lady did say that they were double charging on a card and then refused to give her the money back on it. I, in good conscience, would recommend a fried dish over the boil,but you will have to judge for yourself if you decide to take the chance. read more

Service and food was great. Very noisy even though there weren't many people eating there that evening. That's why I'm giving it a four star rating. read more

We walked in at 11:30 and they were already busy. The general manager Jessie helped us get seated and took our order very promptly which was great. The food however took 40 minutes to come out and when I asked one of the waitresses she was kind of snarky about it and said she wasn't our waitress. When it came out, the food tasted great. The mussels did seem much less than a pound but the shrimp seemed like the correct amount and tasted good. Our waitress Nikki was very sweet also. I noticed A LOT of people complaining about the wait time so hopefully this gets fixed. Also, compared to other shrimp/crab boil places, the price for 1lb of shrimp head on seemed very steep at $20. read more

Prices are a bit high but the place has high quality seafood and plenty of choices for spices. Real Cajun spices is a welcome addition to the area. There are lower priced items but the seafood boil I had was delicious. PoBoys were very good and everyone seemed to enjoy all the entrees we ordered. read more

How can you not seat two people? Waited for almost an hour. From what I'm reading the food is disgusting and overpriced so we didn't miss out anyway. No thanks, never again. read more

Awful. Just Awful. There is no other word to describe the food. Awful. My wife and daughter and I had lunch there today. None of us finished our meal. Their policy is you order it, you pay for it. No sense in complaining in person with a policy like that. We will never grace their doorway again. Awful read more

The service has been great every time, but one time. It was a little miscommunication. No biggie. Now, let's talk about the fast service, great flavors, and delicious food! From entrees to appetizers, everything taste amazing and full of flavor! Servers are always polite and helpful. They really take care of you here. Wait time is usually slim to none. The busiest day was a 15 minute wait. The restaurant was packed. I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is lovely, and cozy too. As many times as we come here, we should get a VIP discount . Kidding, not kidding. Kidding... NK read more
