amazing food been here a few times and experience was amy too our server was brayden.

We came here recently and the service and food was terrific. Our waitress (Ty) was awesome and made the visit very nice. We split the fried shrimp platter and the shrimp etouffee (with dirty rice instead of white rice). The food was delicious. We went around 4pm on a weekday, so it was practically empty, but the atmosphere and vibe inside was incredible. I loved the nautical theme. They were playing a lot of rap music which was funny since we saw elderly people eating there who probably thought that was odd. I assume the nighttime vibe is lively and much different. And the restroom was not the cleanest there, even with an empty restaurant. But other than that, I'd recommend everyone go visit and enjoy! read more

I met a friend and we decided to share a boil - the three boil choices don't have any prices listed other than "market price". We selected the Mr Crabby boil - pretty standard, 1/2 lb king crab (2 legs) 1/2 snow crab legs (1 set of legs), 1 snow crab claw ( one set claw plus legs), 2 pieces of corn, 4 pieces of sausage, 4 small red potatoes. The crab was cooked fine, the claw meat was a little overcooked but the corn itself was soft / soggy and overcooked. The drinks weren't bad at all, a hurricane and a vodka soda. The server had the crab crackers in their back pocket, not what I would consider clean especially with a $100+ boil that I'm about use them on and the final bill was $180 after tax, before tip. If I would have known l that I'd be paying $100 per person to spilt a boil and one drink each, I would have gone to Smashing Crab, SAT Asian, a Pappadeaux and spent probably a good amount less. Very disappointed given the surprise price point: talk about sticker shock and an average dining experience. read more

Visited for the first time last night. It's a great place to eat on the weekends if you wanna hear loud music. We waited about 20 minutes for a table before being seated. Our waiter, Nick, was kind and very pleasant, and our food came out within 20 minutes of ordering. I ordered a pacific punch and the weekend special. My child had ramen noodles and a strawberry lemonade. Unfortunately Mr. Crabby's has eliminated itself from our list of regular spots. Adding extra $2.00 for strawberry lemonade, and charging $16 for the pacifier punch is very nickel and dime-ish. read more

Take out here is horrible , no personality from the guy at the host stand handling to gos. Asked for lemons, was charged because they are "extra lemons" when my order came with none to begin with. After 12 minutes of waiting for lemons I asked to be refunded he just said we are busy tonight, I asked for a manager and NO MANAGER came out instead I finally got my lemons. Apparently no manager on duty? read more

Mr. Crabby’s - 12 minutes waiting on lemons, ask for a manager, none comes out but suddenly lemons manifest - Seafood Near Me - Live Oak, Texas

Food was awesome! Some of the best Cajun food I've had...service was wonderful - I can't remember my servers name unfortunately, but she was great too! Definitely will come back next time I'm in SA! read more

This is my husband and I's favorite crab place if we want to also have drinks. The bar is big and the theme is so fun. We always order crabbys medium with a seafood boil of dungeoness (sorry) crab, snow crab, shrimp, lobster tail, veggies, and plain Ramen on the side. It is soooo good and flavorful with lots of butter. Service is quick and wait time is short. The vibes are fun. I recommend sitting by the bar area on a date or main floor space with family. read more

Arrived on a Saturday night after 7pm, and although the restaurant parking lot was packed, my table for two was seated immediately. Our waiter, Jordan, was kind and attentive. We received our drinks and food quickly. My crab boil was so good, I am a bit embarrassed of what my bin and table looked like afterwards lol. Trifecta sauce is the way to go! We sat near the bar so we were able to glimpse the TVs showing basketball and the music playing was smooth r&b that we enjoyed. We will be back again! read more

Mr. Crabby’s - 1/2 lbs snow crab / 1/2lbs shrimp (no head) with trifecta sauce - Seafood Near Me - Live Oak, Texas

The staff was lovely and so helpful. Or server, Imari was the best part of our visit. She was kind and helpful even though she was very busy. I love a good crab boil. This one was okay. And for the price of an expensive restaurant, perhaps you'd expect something a little less TGI Fridays meets tourist trap seafood. The seasoning isn't balanced, it has notes that just stuck out. We even ordered the Mr Crabby Special medium heat so it should be a classic blend that they're familiar with, but I can't think that this was portioned correctly. The sausage was weirdly smokey. The lobster was very overcooked, and the shrimp were marginally so. The crab was so overcooked the shell was soft and uncrackable. The scallops, corn, and potatoes were all done just fine and I could have made a meal of those. I liked having mushrooms and will add some to my own boil the next time I make one. The drink had plenty of alcohol but was slightly over sweet, but it was a hurricane, so that tracks. Again very tourist grade food and pricing. Every part of the interior is busy. Decor, loud music, multiple TV's playing a variety of shows. Not bad, but not conducive to conversation, either. read more

Mr. Crabby's has great seafood boils and drinks! If you are ever in San Antonio, TX and in the mood for some great seafood Mr. Crabby's is your spot. We went with our kids and grands that we were visiting. They sat us in this cute round booth. It was back by the restrooms, which was convenient for the kiddos. Alissa was our waitress and she was very nice, friendly and helpful. She was attentive and answered our questions. We had some great drinks. We were there during Fiesta San Antonio so they had four little shot drinks in honor of that. They were delicious! All in all I really enjoyed myself from start to finish. read more

It was our first time here and we really enjoyed the food. There's quality of the seafood was really good and the flavors slapped. The menu is pretty versatile, there's a great selection for building your own and also a great selection of set platters. The service was fantastic, our server Lincoln went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable and easy. He was very knowledgeable on the menu and very attentive to us and the rest of his tables, great job. The place itself made us feel like we were under the sea having dinner with sponge bob lol. Great ambiance and they had a great playlist going. I will say get ready for a hefty bill cause it is very expensive but well worth it. read more

We arrived at 9:55 PM and were greeted with uncertainty about whether they were still serving, even though they close at 11 PM. Once they confirmed they were still open, the hostesses seemed displeased, and the male waiter rolled his eyes. Our servers rushed us through the ordering process. When we requested additional butter and lemon with our food, they responded with a flurry of questions, asking, "What else do you want? Are you sure? Anything else?" We love this place, but we'll definitely check out the new location next time. The staff definitely made us feel like we had to leave. 10:38 putting chairs up on tables next to us, vacuuming next to the table. Never again We had a party of 6 adults 2 toddlers with a total of $547 / $72 in gratuity. At the. We were met with excuses and justification. " we stop serving at 10:30" we have a new staff, we will talk with her. read more

Delicious and great food altogether. The music is not family friendly. It's so loud that they misheard my cod for craw so my husband had the wrong order. It still tasted good though. And I understand. They have very young staff there but if I dine in, I would wear ear buds. read more

Maybe tonight was a bad night but there were a lot of mistakes. 10/11/25 After ordering almost $200 worth of food we were missing our lobster tail in our seafood boil. It was brought out separately. I had to flag our waitress "L" because we also never received our rice or eggs we ordered. My half sweet half unsweet tea was SO sweet I needed a full unsweetened one to balance it out. Lastly, our waitress returned my receipt after processing my debit card and didn't return my card. I almost left without my debit card! I live in Austin and would have been furious. I couldn't find our waitress and was hoping she didn't accidentally give to another customer. I was frantically looking around the table, the floor, my wallet, and looking for the waitress. I also thought she dropped it on the floor on the way to our table. My girlfriend found her and my card was sitting on the bar counter. A gentleman next to us, who seemed to be a regular, was being charged extra for spicy seasoning when his medium boil was mild and not prepared properly. He pointed out he patrons this restaurant often and has never received under 20 shrimp in his boil and tonight he got less than 20 shrimp. The food was okay. Definitely not worth $200. I am not happy and will not be returning. read more

Recently I went around trying crawfish boils all around town. Mr. Crabby was on my list. I was by myself I got seated at the bar. The service was fast and it was fun watching the bartenders doing their mixes. They are definitely very friendly too. They were interacting with everyone sitting at the bar. The music is loud and more like a bar feel. So maybe it is hard to carry a conversation I did enjoy the crawfish and all the fixings that come with it read more

The menu was extensive in its choices. I had to get assistance but was suggested to me was a wonderful choice. It was steamed crabs mixed with potatoes and vegetables. read more

The aesthetic and ambiance of this place is giving live action sponge bob set!! Although it is very overwhelming with decor, it's done tastefully. It was my first time here and it was a great overall experience! Service was great. Out server answered all of our questions and our order came out at a reasonable time. To start we ordered fried pickles that were so yummy! All of our food was delicious! The portions were bigger than we anticipated but we ate almost everything because it was so delicious! Most of the items are "market price" but reasonably priced. There are some "specials" that feed 2-4 or 4-6 people... they also have build your own combos which is what I did. I ordered the 1lb headless shrimp it comes with potatoes, sausage, and (1/2)a corn on the cob. I also ordered a side of steamed rice and broccoli for my toddler daughter to eat. Great experience! 10/10 Definitely recommend!!! read more

Mr. Crabby’s - Shrimp boil - Seafood Near Me - Live Oak, Texas

The decorations in this place are overboard! In a great way! Definitely put a lot of heart into making the place festive. We were greeted and seated quickly- by our waitress. Her service was above and beyond the entire time. They have wonderful reasonable SPECIALS as well as lunch specials Mon-Friday. Fried seafood baskets but what we went for was the seafood boils. We got the WEEKEND SPECIAL. 37.95$ for 1 lobster tail, 1/2 lb snow crab, 1/2 lb shrimp , sausage , 2 potatoes and 1 corn. The price is about what we usually pay. We added eggs to it which were a little pricey 4$ for 2 eggs- but we can never get a boil without eggs. Each enjoyed endless sodas - for a total of 56$ They have a full bar with a great looking drink menu if you're into that. Desserts as well. It was steady so I'm guessing they do pretty well. Great music playing (jukebox on the wall that looks like customers can pay and play) and a few TVs that had the football games on. Overall it seems like a cool place to go and hang out with friends. read more

Terrible take out process, have done it 3 times and have been disappointed each time. They won't make the food until you get there , no option to pay over the phone or online so NO MATTER WHAT you have to spend at least 15 mins there for your food. read more

The service was fast and friendly. I really enjoyed their fried mozzarella sticks. They were so amazing. I'm not really a seafood lover but my family ordered some and it came out in these bags to keep it warm, that was awesome. I also tried their crawfish and it was pretty good, the seasoning so sooo good. The corn was amazing, it had the sauce and seasoning from the crawfish. I tried the fried catfish as well and I really do not like fish but it wasn't bad and the batter was amazing. The sausage in the crawfish was also great. And the Cajun fries were really good. All around, amazing food will definitely be coming back. The ambiance was also really fun. read more

Went on a Sunday on a Sunday evening for my birthday treat. Was surprised there were that many people dining. Cool vibe and the decorations were themed according to the Halloween season we're in. Server was friendly and helpful. We ordered the weekend boil. Good portions and very flavorful. The large Hurricane was a bit expensive but was definitely on point- if it didn't cost do much I would've ordered another. Will be back for the lunch menu soon. read more

We went here with a party of 9 on 5/9/25 for my son's birthday. The staff was amazing, Peter our server did a wonderful job. Very attentive, great attention to detail, and just a happy person.

We all ate so much we didn't have room for dessert but we will definitely be back soon. read more

Service was horrible ! Crab legs were too soft to crack, when asked for utensils told didn't have any.gat a dinner fork to work with. The appetizer cheese sticks were cold. Took forever to get anything. Brought out kids meal well after everyone else had started. Couldn't get drinks refilled. Restroom was a mess all dispensers were broken. Toilet moved around floor. The bill added an extra $20.00 no one knew why. Worst food and service I have ever received from this establishment. Probably won't come back read more

I am absolutely disapointed with Mr Crabbys! I went to celebrate my birthday with 14 of my friends. I had made a reservation a week in advance and updated it two days prior. Upon arrival I was told that they canceled all reservations and couldnt do anything for us. I received no advanced notification regarding this cancellation either. The staff was rude and had no regard to customer service. Their only resolution was to have my party of 15 wait over an hour to be seated. Ridiculous! Management should be replaced there!! read more

First time trying this spot. Def a drive and the food was ok and in my opinion not worth the drive. We had Jaylon whom was nice and talked about the menu but was a little scarce, not his fault he had 3 tables from what we saw. The boil came in an inflated bag for some reason., we also got the crab cakes which was drenched in so much butter and we did not lk that, it was soggy. Ask about the prices of the specials bc they are more than what I would have thought. Again the food was ok nothing spectacular and would t drive back to try it again. I think I'm going to stick to smashing crab. read more

Live Oak location needs retraining. Your staff to include the closing manager on 01/03/2026, were rude and very displeasing. We came in at 9:55pm and were met at the door with "last call for food is at 10:15 and we don't know if we can seat you". Once the hostess checked with the kitchen, they sat us. Our waitress was training a new waitress and both rushed us thru our ordering process. We had 6 adults and 2 toddlers in our party. Every time we have a visitor, we bring them here. Our usual waiter is Moses but he just stopped serving on the top tables and it was the floor tables turn so he passed us on to Marina/Avery. Once we received our food, I asked for additional rice and eggs because I knew the kitchen was closing and Marina snapped back with "what else do you want?" "You keep ordering, geez" I told her well the rice hasn't come out yet and I want to make sure we have enough and she scoffed at me and shook her head as she walked off, my husband asking her in the process if she was feeling ok. During this time, the staff started picking up chairs and sweeping, spraying cleaner as we were eating and even stopping the music. They were glaring at us and it was only 10:38pm. I saw Moses and I told him that this was the most unpleasant visit I've ever had and he just kept apologizing for the staffs' behavior. I told him that I don't even want to finish my food and asked if he could bag it so we can just eat it at home. The manager gave us the check $543 with already included gratuity of $77. She don't bat an eye to our frustration, no apologies, just excuses. She said "well the hostess only said that because we stop serving at 10:30" and I told her well got there at 9:55, she shook her head and continued to swipe my card. I told her half a grand and this is the service we get, that's crazy. We are regulars and have been to this location 20 times this past year (2025) but not anymore. It doesn't matter how much we like your employees Moses, Ariana, and Jared, never again. read more

Ty was a great server. Very fast and hospitable. A perfect presentation of respect and entertainment and what it means to run a establishment. read more

Food and service were very good but... the music was so loud throughout the restuarant ( there wasn't a way to get away from it) and we really wanted crab so we endured it but we were practically having to yell at each other to carry on a conversation. The couple sitting beside us said the same thing... the music was way too loud, much like a venue for entertainment. We asked the wait staff and they said they get a lot of complaints about the loud music all the time ( I'm thinking maybe management needs a hearing aid?) It was a Sunday at 1 pm and they were not busy, maybe 3 other couples were there along with us and the wait staff was gathered in the bar, I guess waiting for a crowd to arrive? I have visited the Me Crabby's in San Marcos last week and it was real busy and the music wasn't blaring ( it was pleasant) that is where I will go in the future. Food was delish and the decor was so cute but we couldn't hear each other bc the music was so so loud.. I love concerts and music venues but MrCrabbys is not a music venue or bar. read more

First time at Mr. Crabby's will probably be the only time. 1. Tea is instant, taste awful and burnt. 2. The Dungeness crab was over cooked- inside meat was mushy, and parts of it were an odd brown and orange color. Tastes dry, and no flavor 3. Had to ask for three drink refills. 4. Had to get up and go get my own lemon 5. Never got butter to dip the crab in 6. They brought some weird oily mix. And I asked for a side of butter (gladly would have paid for) and a side of seasoning. 7. Waitress told us the fried food wasn't good. 8. Cajun fries- has NO SEASONING WHAT SO EVER- read more

I never leave reviews but this was needed. Worse experience I've EVER had at a seafood space. 0 stars across the board if I'm being honest. We ordered the longhorn boil added black mussels and 2 kids fried shrimp plates. The boil was supposed to have 2 corn 2 potatoes. We got one of each AND the potatoes were rancid. They smelled & tasted sour and then they replaced them with potatoes that were really just worse. I grabbed the potato and my finger fell into a mushy pocket I smelled it and gagged. I had my partner smell it and he agreed "he said do NOT eat that" we didn't even ask for another replacement because why would we. The mussels we received came late they gave us green mussels that smells so bad they were extremely rubbery and just inedible we sent them back at that point I was over it. My kids popcorn shrimp was basically over fried breading.. Then came the bill. They STILL charged us for the mussels they also charged us for an adult fried shrimp plate that was 27$ when the kids plates for our toddlers cost $7 each. The server said the manager was giving us a "discount" they took so long just to take off $20 (10%) but we still were over paying because the mussels AND the adult shrimp we never ordered were still on there. They then took off the mussels but didn't fix or adjust anything else. It truly felt like a scam. We still tipped we were still polite of course. But in the same breath it was overall just bad experience manager never came to visit either. Awful. Needless to say this review was more than deserved. We will definitely never go back or recommend this place!! read more

Visited with the hopes this would be the best boil establishment. Overall the wait was too long and the food was underwhelming. Shrimp were overcooked and the potato's were on the undercooked side. Not enough seasoning was provided with an excess amount of butter to try and hide it. Steam rice was also undercooked and the asparagus was undercooked. Paid 111 for 1.5lbs shrimp, 1lb of dungeons, 1/2lb scallops read more

It was both a hit and a miss at the same time. Came in on a Monday night with a strong craving for a crab boil bag. I placed a to go order at the front counter, got the weekend special. Spice level hot! Food came out in about 15 minutes. Got it home and went at it. The bag had NO spice to it, I asked for hot- which is supposed to be the second highest most spiciest option. And there was ZERO spice to it. The trifecta flavor- or sauce it had was really good though. That saved the bag. The seafood it self did not take to any of the flavor, I had to dip and soak the meat directly then eat it for it to have any taste. The crab was over cooked, but that's kinda how those places operate. The shrimp was perfect. The star of the show was the potatoes! Great sauce made that bag good, but paying all that money and have them forget to add the spice is disappointing . And for $42 plus tip, it didn't cut it. read more

We was looking for a crab spot as I have tried the others in the area and it just ain't been hitting. Came to mr crabby and was very pleased. Our server Moses was personable and cool as a fan. I wanted to try the gator bites cause what gator, and they was great and the sauce was a special touch. We got the weekend boil and it was so fresh, hot, and the sauce (all the sauces combined) was hitting! Forgot to mention my fire peach sweet tea. We even got ramen to add and put that ramen in the sauce and chef kiss. We will be back! read more
