Definitely recommend calling before you go! The place does get busy on the weekends! But they are very attentive and they work fast to get you in and seated. We got the snow crab and crawfish combo and added black mussels and our sides of choosing. I appreciate they they gave us more sides than we asked for. Things like that make you wanna come back time and time again. It was so good I forgot to take a picture. Highly recommend if you're in the area definitely give this place a try! read more

The food, service, and ambiance were great. I was hoping there would be more flexibility with the combos as far as being able to switch out certain options for others. But it was a cool experience. read more

Definitely have been wanting to come here. Unfortunately the crawfish lacked flavor but the snow crabs were delightful. The fried oysters, were subpar. I could've gone without them. I will say - the lunch menu (shrimp, snow crabs, mussels etc) costs is nearly the same as if you were to go purchase these at the store & made at home. The regular menu costs (shrimp, snow crabs, mussels, etc) the costs is double what you'd purchase at store. I would say - coming for lunch would be well worth it. read more

I took my parents here for lunch for my mom's birthday. The store is a little cozy but very clean. I ordered a boil and fried oysters as an appetizer. The food was good and I was full after eating, but I'm not sure if I'd pay the prices again for the flavor. I also wasn't impressed with the service. My mom and I ordered boils and received them very quickly while my appetizer and my father's food took another 15 minutes. We were told fried food takes awhile. I would have preferred they held off making the boils until the fried food was ready. I will likely only go back if that's my only option. read more

I can't give a review of the food because I never got the chance to order. The waitress asked what I wanted as soon as I sat down, and I told her I needed a few minutes. When I put my coat on to leave nearly 20 minutes later, then a second waitress appeared to attempt to take my order. I do want to highlight the fact that it's a slow night, and the restaurant was not at all packed. Very disappointed by this experience! read more

I've had a lot of seafood boils, but this one by far has been the best. From the freshness of the seafood to the sauce. Then even have lunch specials! Mines was $26 for one pound of crab, half of pound of shrimp (head off) I choose the sauce option that consists of all sauces mixed together. 10/10 I took my order to go and enjoyed it as if I dined in to eat it. They also have HH which of course is a plus for me! I highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

This place was pretty good. I got a blue crab boil and tried oysters for the first time. I didn't like the oysters, but I'm pretty sure that was just a me issue lol the service was decent. If I remember right, it did take a while for the food to come. The prices could be better, but that's just based off of the quality of the food. I know when you eat seafood, it costs more. read more

We tried the catfish, crab, shrimp, fried shrimp, and fried oysters. We felt that the seafood was generally fresh and worth coming back for. The hushpuppies and corn were pretty good as well. We were let down by the chicken strips since they seemed old-- we wouldn't order them again. Service was great! read more

Wow, that was delicious. Got combo 2 to go, which includes 1 lb shrimp and 1 lb crab, with all mixed sauce and mild. This combo came with 2 potatoes, 1 corn and 1 hard boiled egg. It was AMAZING. They gave me the medium spicy sauce to try too - it was even better. Next time I'll order an even bigger boil! The to go order Came with cocktail sauce, which we didn't use but it was tasty, lemon slices, and disposable bibs. While we didn't eat in, the restaurant looked clean and nice - we will be eating in sometime! read more

First time ordering and they messed up my order. I paid for extra eggs and didn't receive it. I paid for 1/2 lb of sausage which was more like half of a hot dog. Also, I am not racist, I'm mixed, and for a young black girl, I won't say lady, with braids at the cash register to help a fellow black woman in front of me; She had the audacity to ask me if I had a pick-up order, ask for my name, turned around to check if the bag was mine, then she one fingered me "Hold on" and disappeared in the back, never came back, just for another sweet girl with glasses to come over and ask me the same thing and what do you know?! THE SAME BAG the previous girl checked was IN FACT, MINE! The disrespect is uncalled for! Mind you, I had already paid in advance for My Food! I am highly disappointed! I will NOT be coming back here! If could give this place a 0, I would. read more

Red Crab Boil is delicious! Prepare to get messy if you choose the boil, as there is no way to eat it with grace. It can be a little pricey but it's always worth enjoyable! read more

The drinks were nice as we waited for our food! Nice and strong old fashioned, paired greet with the combo basket of fish, shrimp, and chicken! The restaurant had the beach theme, with a nice bar with TVs to watch current sports and events. Even though they were busy I would still go again. read more

I saw good reviews on Yelp so we decided to go. This place is small. If you come, be prepared becagee it's small. We were seated and ordered our drinks. I had the usual unsweetened ice tea and hubs had a Long Island Iced Tea. They bith were good. Hubs ordered basically shrimp on shrimp on shrimp with corn and hard boiled eggs. I had the #7 and mixed the seasonings. It was really good! So much seasoning and it was so good. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

When we want seafood boils close to home, this is always our go to spot! They're always kind and helpful when we ask questions! We rarely sit in the restaurant but when we do the atmosphere is great! read more

The food here is really fresh and flavorful. The service is super friendly albeit a little slow - I have to assume that is because everything is steamed fresh. We've been a few times and the food is always consistent. You can vary the flavor and spice level to your choosing. We only ever get the mild Cajun (my children love it). The boil bag is brought to your table where you open it and release all the steam. I am terrible at eating crab legs so it would be nice for someone to offer to show us how but that hasn't happened. read more

Red Crab Boil - Mild cajun snow crab. - Seafood Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

This will probably be my last time ordering here, as we've had issues the last couple visits. We just wanted to believe it was a bad day since it used to be so good. It's gone downhill though. Prices are higher, portions are smaller...and the flavor is LACKING! No matter what flavors we've ordered lately, the bag is flavorless. I called today, and last time but the managers literally do not care. The manager Brittany said in a very nonchalant way "I'll make sure you have more seasoning next time" but she didn't know my name or anything ...how will you do that without my information? Just wanted to get me off the phone. A joke! We started coming to this location when the Grandview,MO seafood spot closed...it was our favorite one. Way better than Red Crab. However, from now on I'll just make the drive to Krab Kingz in Kansas City...black owned, and they care about customer satisfaction and serve great quality seafood with amazing flavor. It's just far from me...it is worth the drive though! read more

Super fresh and delicious! Really nice staff. The music that was playing was on point! Very enjoyable meal. read more

Red Crab Boil - Crab lobster shrimp corn potato egg with the everything sauce - Seafood Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

Poor service, half the meal for our table of four was served, The remainder required getting up from the table, finding the correct wait staff and asking about the the remaining meals, one of the missing meals was brought to the table, had to repeat the process to get the redo of the orders to the table. The result is half of our party ate while the rest waited over 30 minutes for their food. Once the remaining items were delivered, (fried food) we found some food items tasted stale. The ambiance was very loud and because of the way the dining room is configured m, every time someone opened the door to enter or leave, a blast of 14 degree air blasted the patrons. As a result I ate dinner dressed like Kenny from South Park! Don't use their restroom (men's) fecal matter all over the toilet seat and handicapped grab batts and paper dispenser. read more

The hubs and I shared the special A which consists of 1 pound of crab legs (2 clusters) 1 pound of shrimp, 1 lobster tail, 2 potatoes, 2 ears of corn and 2 eggs. The seafood was perfectly cooked - nice and tender. The shrimp were large, head-off but you do have to peel them. As with another review, I felt the actual liquid part of the boil - the garlic butter - was a bit on the short side. The garlic was very plentiful but the boil lacked salt. After adding some salt, the flavor was really amped up. The worst part for me was no kids menu. Let's face it, most kids don't dare for seafood so my 7 year old's options were very limited. He had the chicken tenders and fries which was 9.99 and way too much food for him. His fries were delicious though. read more

We enjoyed a delicious meal at Red Crab Boil in Lee's Summit! We started off with a strawberry margaritas and a dozen Oysters. We tried half butter & garlic and half spicy..both were delicious! We also split the 1 pound crab & 1 pound headless shrimp combo. We added extra corn because we were splitting. Definitely give this spot a try! read more

First time visitor with my nephew. Awesome seafood boil with so much flavor. Also the lemon pepper wings were so good. I definitely recommend eating here. My server Jalen was so chill and respectful. Definitely coming back here again!!!! read more

We went with high hopes that finally there was a decent seafood restaurant in this area. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. I ordered the black mussels and pasta with butter garlic sauce. See the menu picture showing big plump mussels on the half shell. The mussels that came in my dish were buried in the pasta and I had to actively look for them. They appeared to have been canned and dumped into the dish for reheating. They were approximately the size of shelled almonds or smaller. The sauce on the dish was salty almost to the point of being inedible. I also ordered crawfish, a shellfish I have a lot of experience with, these were "okay" but did not appear to have been adequately cleaned. Large bodies and tiny tails that were difficult to peel. My Wife ordered the lobster and pasta. The "lobster" was about the size of a single tiger prawn and was cooked to death! Like I said we had very high hopes but this is not the place I was hoping for....the search continues. Total for our meal was nearly 70 dollars with tip it was 83 dollars and change. Staff were nice so I tipped appropriately. However it was not enough to warrant a return visit. read more

we love this place! we went a week ago and just had to go again today. everything is delicious and very well cooked, and they give you everything you need to stay clean during the dinner. we're huge fans! read more

My husband loves the food (crawfish lover). I am not a seafood eater so I typically get the sausage, potatoes and corn mixed seasoning and medium heat. I don't feel that the sausage has any flavor and the spice/heat is pretty bland compared to everywhere I've had the same thing in Texas. Perhaps it's just the way people like it in MO vs TX. It's not bad and still worth the price, but I'd prefer a lot more flavor than what we get. My husband also gets medium and it's not spicy at all for him. The location is quite small and in direct sunlight so it stays very warm inside and they did run out of tables; we had to sit at the bar. read more

AMAZING! I'm an east-coast guy living in the Midwest who's been looking for a great place for fresh seafood (sorry Red Lobster) for over 6 years. This diamond in the rough exceeded my expectations. While the majority of the US can't even find a place that serves King Crab (due to supply and demand escalated cost), I found a place that not only has it but has it at a very reasonable price. I had 1/2 lb King Crab, 1/2 lb Snow Crab, and 1/2 lb of shrimp. We must have been there for over an hour while I picked out every piece of crab meat. The way the dish came out was neat (I won't ruin the surprise). I also highly recommend the sweet potato fries. I would give this place a 6 out of 5 stars! read more

We love Red Crab Boils Mussels. The serving is large and we love the flavor. You can choose spicy or not. Fast service if you do take out - order in advance and pick up and the people are always friendly. Definitely will go back for more. read more

Red Crab Boil is brand new in Lee Summit. I was greeted as soon as I walk through the door and the lady behind the counter was extremely welcoming. I made an online order of the 1lb Snow Crab seafood boil extra hot and all flavors. The boil came with corn, egg and potatoes. I also added an extra crab legs and 1/2lb sausages for additional cost. For the most part, i did enjoy my meal. The crab legs is a must have! The boil lacked in rich flavor but it's better than what I've experienced in KC. I'll most likely visit again in the future. read more

I am giving this restaurant a 4 because my husband said the shrimp are better than Red Lobster and as good as the fresh shrimp from the Alabama coast restaurants he has ate at. I do not eat sea food therefore the only choices for me are chicken strips or chicken nuggets. Therefore I have tried both and neither one are very good here. I think they over cook the chicken strips, they are usually very crunchy and tough. Since a majority of the people order seafood here they do not buy quality chicken strips or nuggets, is my assumption . I'm sure mostly kids order these and do not seem to mind. Although I feel little children would have a tough time eating the really crunchy strips. They do have good sweet potato fries though. My husband wishes the had coleslaw for a side. The wait staff is friendly and the place seems clean. I did not base the stars on my experience because it is a seafood restaurant and I have heard other people say the enjoyed the catfish and the shrimp boil there. read more

Surprise Red Crab Boil was a surprise for us. Neither of us had noticed it before until we were heading home from another restaurant in the neighborhood. I caught our interest so a couple of nights later we stopped in. Nestled in a strip mall across Blue Parkway from a Chick Filet, it is not all that easy to spot. In fact, coming into the parking lot we mistakes the ice cream shop next door for where we wanted to go. But looking more closely we located the front door. While the parking lot is not overly large, it is big enough to handle the traffic for the shops. Met by a server as we came through the door, we were seated immediately. The place was about 2/3 full, but we were given a table that suited our preferences. Their menu is really deceptively large. Reading the details, it is easy to see that the choices are great. Since it is our habit to not go whole hog as first timers, we chose the Catfish for me and Shrimp Pasta for Paula. It did turn out that the serving sizes would have been better suited to lunch, but that is a live and learn for us. The catfish was fine, but nothing to write home about, and the shrimp pasta was a bit better than average (could have used a bit more seasoning). Again, these offerings would have been better suited to lunch rather than dinner. Watching the other tables and taking in the aroma from what they were having showed me the error of our ways. The crab "boils" looked and smelled delicious! The lobster tail boils appeared even better. Ok, so next time we will have to up our game. The service was spot on. Friendly and efficient. They do have a reasonable full bar for the limited size of the place, and should you wander to the rest rooms, you can get a glimpse into the kitchen. I do believe some of the prices might be a bit steep, but most are very reasonable for seafood in the area. However, I do recommend giving it a shot. In fact, do not do as we did - go ahead and move to the other side of the menu and grab the their real specialties - the boils. There you get the best value for your money. read more

Not sure if the food is good. My daughter and I were told by a server that once she cleared a table we could sit down. She cleared the table so we sat down - we sat and we sat. We sat for 15 mins we were never acknowledged- 2 parties that came in after us received menus and drink. So we got up and left- mind you there were 2 or 3,empty tables. I called and told them that we had left they really didn't care. Too bad I was looking forward to the food it looked amazing. read more

Stopped in for lunch with a friend as we have been wanting to try these kinds of restaurants that seem to be popping up everywhere. Was impressed with the moment we walked in! It is small but extremely clean and organized. There is bar seating and table tops. We started out with a hush puppy appetizer and got a huge basket of them! They were fresh, crispy and delicious. For the entree we opted for the bags. I got the snow crab and shrimp (you can opt for head on or off) and my friend got the snow crab. You can select from flavors of Cajun, lemon pepper, or garlic butter or combine them all. We both combined all the flavors and asked for medium spice. It was delicious! There was plenty of food with about 6 or 7 crab legs, 10 or so shrimp, 1egg, and 1potato. We also asked for garlic butter to dip our crab legs in. This had several cloves of roasted garlic and real butter. It was fabulous! The service was very friendly and attentive. As we left, I was looking at what other people were eating and the fried baskets looked delicious but next time I think I will try the Angel hair pasta with the garlic butter sauce and a mix of seafood! I took the remaining garlic butter home to add to some pasta! As an added bonus- the bathrooms were impeccably clean and nice! read more

Food was amazing and service was great even though it was a busy night. Didn't wait long for a table either.

We were looking for a good seafood boil place and happened upon them. My husband and I got the boil for two in the garlic butter sauce... OMG!! Delicious.... Plenty of crab, shrimp, lobster, potatoes and corn. After eating our fill we still had plenty to bring home. read more

I was not too impressed with this restaurant. My husband and I both had the shrimp pasta and it was so salty that when I took the leftovers home I had to rinse some of the salty oily mess from the billions of angel hair pasta strings. Yes, I would say there was more pasta than anything else, other than the salt. No flavor, and if there was a hint of garlic, the salt hid it. read more

I love Asian Cajun. I've been here and sat inside a few times. I've also ordered for pickup a number of times as well. The food is pretty good. Each time we've eaten in it comes out hot and fresh. Service has always been pretty good as well, but they seem to have a high turnover rate. I don't think I've seen the same server twice - ever. The decor is cute. My daughter calls it the crab place and she loves wearing the bib they give out. My only issue with this place is that when I order for pickup it's a hit or miss as far as getting the order right and the fries, hush puppies, and calamari end up really soft and soggy. I'm still really happy to have this place in Lee's Summit, but wish a few things would improve. read more

The food was good. Arrived during happy hour and drink specials were good as was appetizers. We had the oysters fried and fried calamari. Orange pineapple margarita was very tasty.
