Honestly, I haven't had a crab boil in a minute and this hit the spot. The crab was cooked perfectly the corn the potatoes there was enough of everything. There was so much sausage. There was a lot of shrimp and since it's seafood like I felt full when I left, but like not like bloated and you can ask for extra sauce, I love the extra sauce. It was so good I mean like seriously if you haven't had a crab boil in a minute, go to this place down in Gainesville, Mr. and Mrs. crab I 10 out of 10 recommend. For drinks I got the rum runner of course drinks could always have probably a little more alcohol, but it was good enough so I got two and the ambience of course was nice. Kind of you know check style but very like it gives like we're at a cookout, eating a crab boil down in Florida. read more

The market price for one pound of king crab was $100. The service and food were good. We got the Mr. & Mrs. Crab seasoning at medium level, which wasn't spicy at all. The interior was very busy on a Friday night, with almost every table occupied. read more

Soooo....I ordered a pound of crab legs! These were the worst crab legs I ever had....ok, wait, the seasoning was good...and that's about it! Crab legs SUPER OVERCOOKED. Must have just been sitting in the water for hours...got into the crab leg (because I can't say I cracked into the crab legs because even after them recooking me a new set, they still bent when I TRIED to crack into them). The manager tried to make it right by having the kitchen redo the order but could not deny when I showed her how the crab legs bent when I tried to crack them...and when I had to CUT into the crab leg to get to the meat, only to discover that the crab meat was essentially MUSH! She said maybe it was an issue with the supplier....no ma'am...these crab legs are either old or overcooked, or both! So disappointing...and they have the nerve to charge $37 dollars for this crap! Listen, if you are a restaurant that's supposed to specialize in crab, then I expect that the ONE thing you should do well, is make good crab legs! I hate to be a butt, but I'm warning anyone who will listen...do not come here if you want fresh crab legs! You will regret it! I wish I could have shown you a picture of the mushy crab but it was already getting cold and I was so hungry that I just ate it despite it being pretty horrendous to eat.... Still hungry so I guess I'll order a pizza... read more

I was visiting my cousin in gainsville and was craving a seafood boil so decided to try this spot for lunch and I got the one with crab legs, shrimp, sausage and potato with everything seasoning and everything was good!

I've been twice and new to the area. Ordered fish basket and shrimp baskets, seasoning was very heavy. Not my fave. Next visit ordered a Shrimp Boil and it was excellent. I think it can be hit or miss or depending on the item. Staff is super nice and friendly read more

I was really hoping for a better experience! I was sat rather quickly on an early afternoon with only four other tables sat. I waited for nearly 15 minutes for a server to arrive. (Unbeknownst to me my server was the bartender despite my not sitting in the bar area). When he did arrive he was nice enough and took the order although didn't bring drinks until 10 minutes after my appetizer arrived. My biggest complaint though comes from the absolutely insipid crawfish; I got two pounds and one pound of snow crab. The crawfish was tasteless and very much seemed prepared from directly from frozen. For a seafood place I'm a quite displeased with that, but would give them another change but wouldn't order the crawfish. read more

Slow service. Mediocre food. Crab was probably frozen since the legs were rubbery. Server didn't bring utensils to open crab which should be delivered with the meal. Oh well. read more

The food was good however they didn't follow the waitresses information because my shrimp boil didn't have the correct items I ordered in them. And the eggs were boiled too hard. But the shrimp were cooked well. My friends and I were there for lunch but it was quite empty in there. So I was a little confused how the order got messed up. All of the boil bags were good, and the drinks weren't watered down. So that was also a good thing.. read more

We went on a random Monday night for my husband's birthday and found it to be absolutely fantastic. The Mr. and Mrs. Krabs seasoning is perfect. I don't like spice so I got no spices; my husband likes some spice and he got mild; his brother likes a lot of spice and he got medium. He said the medium was amazing and spicier than he thought that delicious. We had a great time and it was actually packed in there for a Monday evening. Highly recommend! read more

The whole family enjoyed this visit. Food was plentiful and well seasoned. The appetizers were very tasty. Food came hot and fresh. The waiter was awesome young man. I was impressed by how seasoned the white fish was from my order. read more

Absolutely the best crabs ever! I don't know what they put in their seasoning, but it is truly ambrosia and if I could bottle it, I would. I have to say that three crabs make up a pound, which seems a little on the short side, especially as I was hungry, however no complaints. I suppose a bit more potato wouldn't hurt. This place is outrageously good and on my return trip we'll definitely stop here. Meantime- what's the recipe. I need this at home. Service was excellent by Jamie and price is reasonable considering the great taste. read more

Mr. & Mrs. Crab - Seafood Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Mr. & Mrs. Crab was a disappointing experience for many reasons: - Mr & Mrs Crab Seasoning was so salty so our entire bag of crab legs+lobster tails+corn were almost inedible - We got 2 lobster tails and they tasted fishy and dirty - I asked for no cheese on my salad and they still gave me cheese and the croutons were stale - The server charged another table's check on my credit card and said the refund would go back on my credit card in 3-5 business days - Clam chowder was too salty as well - Chicken tenders were ok The only things that I liked were the sweet potato fries. So sad. Definitely not worth the money! read more

Seafood by the coast atmosphere in the city. Server was friendly and attentive. The Mr n Mrs Crab Special Sauce definitely brought I good flavor to the seafood. The Build Your Own Boil was a lot of food compared to other seafood restaurants that offer the same boil. With a great option to add more of what you like, of course it cost extra but you can add more potatoes or corn or boiled egg, n other yummy yummy yummy options. During the day, family friendly environment. Kid's menu for kids. TVs all around for viewing of sporting events. A bar for drinks, a jukebox for music, so I'm sure at night it is a good time. Overall, when in Gainesville and looking for great seafood, this is the place! Great environment! Great food! Great staff! read more

Food was very good. Had clam chowder and a house salad for $9.50. The waitress was very attentive. Would go back again.

Checked this place out but could not take any photo as I did not want to get germs on my cellphone to my hands before eating, but the portion size was great and servers were very attentive. If I come again, will likely pass on getting the blue crab though and just get shrimp/mussels. All in all, great seafood boil restaurant and will come back again later! read more

Terrible not worth the $ waste & rude cashier food was dripping with nasty sauce...i told the cashier I wanted no spice but in the bag to go was soaked in terrible salty sauce...i would not recommend this place read more

Server was amazing! He was friendly and knowledgeable on the menu! Now the 1lb Sausage and 1lb Crawfish with Potatoes and Corn were amazing!

Food was amazing had a party of 3. My daughter had king crab that was cooked perfectly. Market price of the night $80. Future son in law had a boil with crab sausage 1/2 pound each and I a had a boil with green muscles and headless shrimp. What I loved the most was you could choose your flavor and your spice level for everything. Our server was Shamous he was very attentive. Price for all was $168. Ambiance was good for a full bar restaurant. read more

The seafood boil here is amazing!!!! The service was great and the lady who took our order was so sweet and polite. We did to go and the food came out super fast, all our seafood was cooked to perfection, nothing was under or overcooked. I really recommend checking out this area if you love a good seafood boil. Also grab some bread sticks when you stop by! You won't regret it read more

Tried this place while out of town, and to be honest may have given it a 3.5 if it was an option. Good side: Quick service, Great Waitstaff (he was super friendly with everyone), Great deal with a pound of shrimp thrown in for free with two lbs of crab legs. Fun set up inside, decor, crab bibs, etc. We had the garlic butter with Old Bay on the side. Negative side: Lack of tools made it less enjoyable. Seems crackers were limited, and no small forks or picks. Plastic silverware didn't help so I had to leave the meat in the some of the legs behind because I just gave up. It really was challenging and for the price you pay, and for their specialty being crab legs (hence the name) I expect more. It was a disappointment. Would I go back? Maybe, if my son really wanted to. He had fun, but had the same challenges I did, so the work became doubly as frustrating for me. read more

It was 9:30 on a Friday, parents weekend at UF and no reservations. I went directly to Yelp for best late night restaurants in Gainesville and Mr & Mrs Crab was number 1. Fellow Yelpers, once again, you nailed it! Super fun, super casual place with great nautical décor. Once you enter, you know you're in for a seafood feast. We walked in and were immediately seated. The service was excellent. Hostesses were friendly and accommodating. Ken, our server, went above and beyond. We had never eaten seafood boil before and had no idea what it was. The menu is big with plenty of choices. We ordered a "Pick Your Own Boil" with shrimp, clams, calamari, and muscles boiled in spicy Mr & Mrs Crab sauce. Ken let us know that spicy is super spicy, so we toned it down to medium. Thankfully, we did as the medium was fire and fabulous! With every pound of seafood you get potatoes and corn. Couldn't figure out why we got gloves and a bib and then came a giant bag with the boil inside. So messy, so much fun and so out of this world good. This is now on my "must go" list when in Gainesville and I'm so happy, I just realized this is a chain and there's one in Ft. Lauderdale too. read more

Checked out Mr. and Mrs. Crab for dine in for the first time for an early evening dinner date with my bestie. I'm a seafood boil super fan so when this restaurant came to town, I was waiting on it! I've been to a number of similar spots and thought I'd give them a try! We got seated quickly which was great! We were quickly greeted by our server, given two ice cold waters and menus within two minutes of sitting. Gotta love great service! The prompt service didn't end at the server, but our order came out so fast. The special sauce is always my fave at seafood boil spots and they definitely have a great one. I ordered steamed oysters and they tasted great but temperature wise, felt like they were sitting for a bit but I won't deny how delicious they were. Maybe not my go-to seafood boil spot just yet, (although it's right in town) it's worth a taste to make it a fave! read more

Mr. & Mrs. Crab lived up to what they say they do - it was a unique dining experience. I had never done a seafood boil but had always seen pictures of the "big dump" of seafood on a table. Yet Mr. & Mrs. Crab successfully achieved next-level individualized experience with well-presented seafood boil bags; they are good design and hospitality-chef innovation. Nice open atmosphere! Mr. and Mrs. Crab was fun; the entire time, it felt informal and clean at the same time. Branded hand sanitizer and everything! Everything was done really well, and our waiter was on top of everything and solid customer service. Great variety in the menu. A seafood fan haven or for a seafood boil novice like me. We had to try a boil, so we got our hands dirty into 'COMBO A' and a basket of Fried Shrimp to share. Personally, my hands stayed clean as I ate most of the yummy plumpy fried shrimp, but the pieces I had from the boil were bold in Mr. & Mrs. Crab Special seasoning flavors. I may still not be a full-on boil eater, but I will come back with a small group of friends. Mr. & Mrs. Crab was a good time and good food. We felt we had the perfect amount of food and a balance of sides. Mr. & Mrs. Crab has earned all of its STARS for me! read more

Four stars for the food, three stars for service! Our poor waitress struggled w her own staff to get us the right drinks to even start. Once we got that down things went better. We had a group of 8 or 9, so we ordered four of the big meals that fed 2-3 plus four pounds of snow crab and one pound of scallops. We did the garlic butter for all---messy and tasty! The good comes in a big aluminum foil pan, it's a free for all! You even wear a bib, I recommend the bib, you cannot eat this food daintily. They deliver crab crackers, scissors and forks to help you eat. Our food was full of flavor and delicious, really good for a large group or family. Just remind the wait staff to get your drinks and ensure they are the right drinks. read more

Mr. and Mrs. Crab does not miss. It doesn't matter which restaurant you go to, the food is always good. I had been to the locations in Pinellas Park and in Ruskin but this was my first time visiting the location in Gainesville. I got my usual, which was the boil - Option C, with added boiled eggs. My boil consisted of snow crab legs, shrimp, a lobster tail, corn, potatoes, and boiled eggs. I always go with the Mr. and Mrs. Crab seasoning and I choose the Hot option. This meal was amazing. You can't get a better deal on elite seafood for under $35. I had a Cigar City Jai Alai to go along with my meal and it was good as well. I will definitely be back again. read more

I'm a Jacksonville transplant residing in Starke. Being from Jacksonville, the number of restaurants serving blue crab are numerous, along with shops for buying them live to cook at home! Recent visitors suggested Mr and Mrs Crab as a place to try because they wanted Blue Crab. We were a party of six first time guests at MMC. We all had the best experience, from the server to the fantastic food! I can't wait to go back. read more

It was the worst meals I ever had. My son and I ate there between lunch and dinner. First they did not have tea. The meal was $52.00. Everything was over cooked!! I would never go back. I should have ask for my money back. I don't know how They will stay in business. Don't waste your time and money. read more

We chose Mr. & Mrs. Crab for our lunch after a visit to the Kanaphna Botanical gardens. We are from Maryland and total seafood lovers, especially blue crabs. We started with an excellent tasting lobster bisque which we shared and would order again on a return visit. Then we both chose the blue crab boil with Old Bay seasoning which included corn and red potatoes served in a huge plastic, air filled bag. We both completely enjoyed our meal. The prices were reasonable considering it was all fresh seafood. We chose non-alcoholic beverages with our meal. Our server was friendly & helpful without being "pesky". The restaurant was a relaxing and clean atmosphere. We plan to return again when we visit the Gainesville aerea. read more

Jazlyn or jazzy. Was a great server ! She made sure everything was fresh and served to our liking.

Yarrr! I don't want anything ye landlubbers cook, I want things of the sea! You walk in to be greeted by an atmosphere of the sea, everything here is very well-themed and fun, but more importantly... You want seafood. And you want it NOW. Well here at Mr. & Mrs. Crab, they got you COVERED. A build-your-own (or prebuilt!) well-seasoned, spice-level optional seafood boil. Controlling the amount of meat in 1/2 increments, Mr. & Mrs. Crab lets you pick your own boil, how YOU want it. Each boil also comes with potatoes and corn depending on how much you get! Really good, filling seafood, one of the best boils I personally have ever had! I will say, the service is a little bit spotty. I've had good servers and bad here, so unfortunately I can't give a perfect score in good conscience. read more

The food was the only redeeming quality of our experience. We went on a Monday around 2pm. The place was nearly empty, but our server was slow and forgetful. We sat for about 10 min before she came around, then another 10-15 after we ordered. She brought out our appetizer and my entree but not my boyfriend's - and no drinks for either of us?? We had to get up and look around for her after another 10 minutes. When she finally came back around to bring out the other entree, she ask if we needed anything. I said "our drinks?", and she looked perplexed and then realized we'd sat for 30 minutes with nothing to wash our food down with (we ordered a water and a lemonade mind you). Then she finally gets the drinks and proceeds to give my boyfriend a water with lemon instead of a lemonade like he'd ordered. The food was pretty good. We got fried shrimp, Cajun fries, hush puppies, and a seafood boil with crabs and mussels. The next issue came with trying to leave. We sat for another 15 - 20 minutes after finishing our food waiting for the server to bring a box and our check. Once again, we had to get up and look around for her. Finally, she comes back and asks us again if we need anything, so we had to remind her that we'd asked for a box and the check 20 minutes ago. I'd be more understanding if she had more tables to wait, but we were one of maybe 2 or 3 tables. Her name on the check said 'Liz'. I was excited to try this place, but I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Super yummy crab pots, everything was cooked perfectly. I got the garlic butter seasoning- kinda like old bay but not as much kick

New Food Wednesdays Ordered: Hush Puppies, Fried Calamari, Fried Shrimp entree, S-1) The Basics Recs: First of all, we're not big seafood people. The batter for the fried food was thick and nice, and the Mr. & Mrs. Crab special sauce was decent. We ordered the medium spice level and wished it was spicier. It seems comparable to a family seafood boil, but wasn't superior. Thumbs up 1/ down 3 read more

Spice, flavor, and quality were all on point of the seafood boil were all on point. The service was a little rough so they're losing a star for that. It was slow, staff were arguing with eachother on the floor, forgetting things we asked for. To their credit, when they took breaks from fighting each other they were courteous to us as customers. The price is good, and the food would be fine to get to go, but dine in was not a great experience. read more

The butter garlic sauce was salty and alittle spicy didn't mind the spicy but the salty made me sad cause I couldn't enjoy the sausage. The food portion for this shared platter was great I enjoyed the green Mussels. The Mr shot was really good which contained henny. I HATE henny lol but you barely tasted it. Will be back thanks :) Also our server was very nice but I forgot his name. The calamari could be more fried and it could also come with more if your sharing with a table of 4+ I suggest getting two. read more

Mr. & Mrs. Crab - Share plate - Seafood Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

This was my first seafood boil experience in the Gainesville area and it was up to par. Unfortunately, we didn't dine in the restaurant this visit, but if the to-go experience was good I can only imagine how well the dine in will go. My bf and I ordered 2lbs of seafood with the Create Your Own Combo option trying the shrimp (no head), scallops, mussels, and snow crab legs - all half pound orders. It was doused in the Mr. & Mrs. Crab Special sauce at a medium spice level is just *chef's kiss*. I highly recommend. You can mix it up however you'd like and the combo comes with corn and potato pieces. They provided all the necessary materials (bibs, gloves, wet naps) in our bag and it was ready within 15 min! Can't wait to dine in the next time! read more

My first visit to Mr. & Mrs. Crab. First impressions, the music I notice was very very loud and I am not so much a fan of rap music. I asked the server if they could turn the music down. I had to ask a couple of times. I ordered the Alaskan Snow crabs in butter and garlic sauce, corn muffins which were greasy but okay. The sauce was very tasty and for the price of 1bl of crab legs, it's affordable. The server was super nice and I appreciated her asking me if everything was okay and few times. I believe I arrived at the restaurant's opening on a Friday so it was not very busy. Overall, it's an okay experience and I would have given them a higher rating except for the music. The staff at the front desk replied , "this is the staff thing on Fridays we love to jam out""" but the restaurant is for your customers not to satisfy the staff. Anyway, the crabs were good. I don't think I'd be back though or I'd just get take out if I'm in the area. I drove 30 minutes away is the reason I ate inside. read more
