    Stepped into the place with the feels and taste of New Orleans! The food portions were massive and flavored well! The staff were ALL friendly and very attentive! Definitely will be back!

    My barber told me about their fish Friday special so I went to check it out. I was greeted immediately, which I very much appreciated. They asked if I was dining in or taking out. I told her I was taking it to go and she proceeded to tell me about the menu. I still opted for the fried catfish, which included trip pieces of fish, two hush puppies, fries and coleslaw, which I don't like. She asked if I wanted extra fries instead so I said sure, but apparently, that came with a $3 upcharge which she failed to mention and I only saw because I asked for a receipt. I also got a cup of Kool aid which they filled to the brim with ice. I took a seat at a table and waited for my food, which took about ten to fifteen minutes. Other people came in and were seated at various tables, there was music playing throughout. The place is set to look like New Orleans, so that was the art in the walls, a mural on the wall and other decor. The catfish was fresh and hot but the cornmeal made it gritty. It could've also been seasoned more. The fries could've been seasoned a bit more. The hush puppies were a bit overdone but it was a good meal, I'd go back to try other things.

    Cool spot to enjoy some Cajun cuisine. Prices are reasonable. Food is flavorful. The service was great. Friendly, attentive, and courteous. Only knock is that the crawfish had an overly fishy taste to it compared to most other places. But overall, Nuttin' Betta was great

    Seafood platter
    Janine D.

    We shared the platter. It was delicious! Only thing I was not super impressed by was the fried catfish. Maybe it was an off day. But everything else was stellar!! Can't wait to come back!!

    I've never been disappointed ordering from here! I haven't dined inside, so I can't comment on the environment, but the food is always leaving me wanting more!

    I was very happy to see this place and the service was great! Food tastes just like back home in Louisiana. Prices were pretty good as well.

    Seafood boil

    The lady at the desk was very helpful and very inviting. I appreciate that. I was sat and served right away. The food is good, good bang for your buck, the food is made at the moment you order. Their fried okra was great, they serve koolaid which was so good. I had a cup of their gumbo and it was also very tasty. Loved coming here, I believe is a family owned and operated and if you're wanting legit Cajun, this is the place for you!

    Fried Catfish

    Listen! If you're missing New Orleans and you miss home, just order the number 1 and get a Catfish Fillet on the side and get yourself some sweet tea or Kool Aid, hands down, can't wait to come back, I don't want to leave this seat and drive home, it's so flavorful and rich, you'll forget you're in San Antonio. I promise you.

    #5 signature special
    Jake L.

    Went on a Wednesday and the place was buzzing. There were several families dining and it was still kinda quiet which is a really good sign. People happily enjoying their food. The music was really good and I was seated immediately. Though she was busy my server was very kind and helpful. With an hour to close I did not feel rushed which is really cool because this is the kind of food you want to take your time and really savor. The menu was really easy to read and had lots of options and pictures across the top. They do have a wing special on Wednesday and poboys and a selection of boils which all looked very tempting but I opted for the #5 signature special offered as a fried, grilled or blackened. I chose the blackened ( it usually takes a little longer but is really worth it. The set up looks really familiar but I can't place it. I do want to come back and try the gumbo and Bourdain balls but I gave up beef and pork for lent. The atmosphere and wall decorations are friendly and playful, they definitely give the place a New Orleans feel. The seats are set up with booths on oneside, a single long booth seat with a couple of tables joining them on the opposite and standard tables in the middle, they definitely make the most of the space provided. All the food coming out of the kitchen looks pretty good, and I'm looking forward to my plate. Oh my goodness this is delicious. The flavors are well balanced without the blackening seasoning over powering the flavor of the catfish or crawfish. The dirty rice is the best I've had in a long time. I highly recommend this spot if you miss new Orleans or you want to be spoiled for everywhere else. C'est si bon

    Services was good the girls were so nice and didn't mind my grandson touching everything lol we had the kool-aid it was soooooo good 10/10 and then we got the sea food platter with fried catfish,shrimp,fried oysters,and crawfish tails everything was really good the side were red beans and rice and Mac and cheese the Mac I give a 5/5 the read beans and rice I give a 8/10 but all in all everything was good

    The restaurant wasn't busy when we got there..it was one table with some people. But we couldn't pick a table to sit at. The drinks were self served. We seemed kind of rushed to order food. The red beans and rice was on point! Very flavorful.

    Grilled fish and shrimp.
    Joan J.

    First time here and everything was delicious. The sauce for the seafood boil was so good. Lots of garlic and very seasoned and not overly salty. I went for a healthier option and got my catfish and shrimp grilled instead of fried. Again, lots of flavor and hush puppies had a hint of sweetness. I wished they were closer but will make another trip over this side of town to eat here. Service was great and the ambiance was very casual and a lot of art on the walls that were New Orleans inspired.

    Gumbo
    Courtney T.

    First time visitors and we were thoroughly impressed!!! -Gumbo was HOT!!!! And, I mean "Hey, while it's cooking, can someone spoon out a serving for me" hot! It was full of flavor too. -Hushpuppies have corn in them, which explains the sweetness. -Catfish was seasoned well, but as another post stated, were on the smaller side for an entree. -Fried Shrimp was jumbo with good flavor. -Jambalaya was just OK-a few flakes of chicken & sausage, but 90% rice....but again, it was hot. -Red Beans could've used more pot liquor. Glad it was noted on the menu that it didn't come with sausage because that would've been foul. -Mac & Cheese was not oven baked, kinda like Chick-Fil-A, which was disappointing -Sweet Tea & Kool-Aid were both on point. We'll definitely return!

    Catfish & Shrimp with mac n cheese and red beans and rice. My apologies for eating before taking a photo of my food.

    I'm glad I gave them another try. I dined here a few months ago and didn't enjoy the food as much…read moreas I would have liked. But today, it was a success! Fried Green tomatoes - 10/10 Grits - 10/10 Praline Bacon - 10+++ Avocado - 10/10 Biscuits - 9/10 Scrambled Eggs w/Cheese - 6/10. After all that cheese and cajun seasoning, they were still tasteless. I added black pepper and it helped. My chai latte with oatmilk and a little caramel topped the meal off. Oh, and I ordered some beignets to-go. I remember those being good. I got 3 classics and 1 stuffed with peaches and cream. The music was a mixture between jazz, r&b, and a little funk. It added a nice touch on this rainy morning, especially jamming to James Brown. The hotness was friendly and looked like she was ready for her day. And Sara, our waitress, had a nice disposition early in the morning. She was pleasant, friendly, and efficient.

Those who came early sat at the bar and ordered coffee and if you signed up for text messages you get 15% off which was nice. I got the NOLA brunch plate and tried the mixed beignets. The NOLA plate was good, but super duper heavy. The praline bacon is tasty and nicely sweet, the eggs with seasoning was probably my favorite part. The grits were good just super filling. The fried green tomato was also yummy just a bit salty. Overall 7.5/10 The mixed beignets came with four, a lemon one, chocolate, plain and flavor of the month which was a strawberry jam with sprinkles. Strawberry jam was terrible, a sin to beignets. It's just too sweet and oozes out (2/10). Lemon was okay just a bit too tart (5/10). Chocolate was surprisingly good; it tasted like warm mexican hot chocolate (7/10) Plain will always be my favorite though (8.5/10) even if this one is a bit doughy! Service was good especially for our large party! The interior is gorgeous with great natural lighting.

When I came up to the place it wasn't a sit down place to eat, but that you have to order which was confusing as there were a lot of other restaurants within the small space. There was a guy there that was picking up wing and he stated that they were the best and big pieces. So he showed me how to order. And I place my order as it was Wednesday dollar day for wings so I order wings. I had the parmesan garlic, lemon pepper. Let me tell you they were so good, the wait was too long but worth the wait. It best to order online then go pick up. The restroom were locked so that is why I gave 4 and we weren't able to speak with no one. If you need any special thing or extras please write it I.

The texture of fish is crunchy on the outside with a flaky, meaty texture on the inside . The wings are fried in a way that's just right. They are crunchy and the sauce adheres so well without making them soggy. The green beans, red beans, and wedges are great options for sides to accompany the fish and wings. It was my first time ordering from a place with this type of setup. It was so cool! I scanned my order on an iPad and open pops a locker door with my food. If you're in the mood for fried fish and wings...this place does not miss.

Birthdays, random cravings, "we survived the week" dinners & you name it, we've probably celebrated it here. The vibe is casual, fun, and laid-back, which is exactly what you want when you're about to put on a bib and commit to a seafood boil. And yes, that is exactly what you should do here because the boils never miss. The seafood is always fresh, the sauces are flavorful, and the spice levels are not playing around. My recommendation? Stick with level 2 unless you enjoy sweating through your meal and reevaluating your life choices. My go-to combo is mussels, shrimp, crab legs, potatoes, boiled egg, and veggies. And before anybody gets suspicious about the veggies in a seafood boil, hear me out, they absolutely belong there. They soak up all that buttery, spicy sauce and add something extra to the whole experience. Don't skip them. Also, get the flights. They're fun, they're good, and they make an already good time even better. Smashin Crab is one of those places we keep coming back to because it's reliable in the best way: good seafood, great flavor, and the kind of meal that feels like an event every time.

Jenn was our server, and she was amazing very attentive, informative, and provided great service throughout our visit. The ambiance was a fun, lively vibe with music playing, and the restaurant was clean. The happy hour menu had a great selection, with everything from shrimp boils to cocktails. We started with the 1/2 dozen chargrilled oysters ($19.12) and the Smash'd Margarita Flight ($11 during happy hour). Chargrilled Oysters: 8.5/10 The oysters were cooked in garlic butter and Parmesan and served with crispy toast. The toast was definitely a highlight for me it added such a good texture and paired really well with the oysters. I would absolutely order these again! Smash'd Margarita Flight: (9/10) This was a fun way to get a taste of the different margaritas they offer. The prickly pear was my favorite of the flight! Shrimp Boil: (10/10) For our main meal, we ordered the shrimp boil from the happy hour menu and added a few extras. I loved how customizable the boils were. They have a great variety of add-ons, from broccoli to ramen noodles, and you can also choose your seasoning and spice level. Overall, we had a great experience. Good food, a fun atmosphere, plenty of options, and great service from Jenn. We'll definitely be back and those chargrilled oysters will be making another appearance at the table!

The menu is exciting and the concept is definitely there--but unfortunately, my dining experience didn't quite live up to it. I ordered the pecan-crusted trout, which had a nice texture but lacked flavor and seasoning. The dirty rice was also underwhelming, with very little depth or seasoning, and the calamari was a bit rubbery. Overall, the food just didn't hit the mark for me. Service was also a bit inconsistent. During dinner, I found myself having to get up to grab my own salt and pepper, as well as my own place setting, which took away from the experience. That said, I did have a much better interaction the day before when my wife and I stopped by for a glass of champagne at the bar--the bartender was lovely and welcoming.

When they come out, the plates are larger than expected and both come with fries. This could easily be shared with two or three people. Everything was friend to perfection, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and seasoned well. The plates were wiped clean. I ordered a house pinot noir and it was a good.
