This place gets packed! And for a good reason. I always get the crawfish and shrimp boil. Super flavorful and the service is quick. One of my go-to places in Jacksonville. Great place and lovely ambiance! read more

yummmmy!! The seafood was great here! My only complaint is that the food came out lukewarm, but the server was happy to heat it up more for us! the ambience is not great, but who cares, were here for crab legs and lobster and they delivered!! read more

My experience here was delightful. Our waitress was very kind and explained how you order and the amount of food that you received was just completely a full serving. Our party had different sea food, boils, and catfish. The price of their delicious food is very affordable. I most definitely will go back and make this one of my staple rests. Great job done by the red crab. read more

Very good. The shrimp were a good size. The corn on the cob was delicious! Going to definitely go back.

This place just needs maintenance. The restaurant is a Bar but the owner clearly has a set and done attitude. Minor investments in signage, matching plates, all metal utensils, better lighting And all working TV will take the indoor decor up a bit. The inside has to match the prices. The menu is a bit pricey, $30 crab broil; however, it was sooooo Fla good. Get the lemon pepper & garlic mix for the perfect dipping sauce. I tried the Cajun rice. It was good but it is buttery. I'm not convinced they have an experienced bar tender back there. My drink tasted like juice so I ordered an extra shot. Idk, it's like a quandary for me. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch with my daughter and were greeted immediately and sat. There were only maybe about 4 more tables in the restaurant and it took our server about 10 mins to greet us and get our order. She never brought our drinks which were just water and tea. After she brought our food I had to ask for our drinks again, she then got an attitude. We opened our bags and one of the plates of seafood was still FROZEN!! We let our server know of which she snatched the plate, brought it back a couple minutes later to sling it on the table. She was very rude. When check came, she tried to overcharge for my platter of food. Also, cold plate was still on the bill. Feel like I should not need to request it to be removed when served frozen seafood. I believe in fairness and paid for both plates with no hesitation but think that she should have reconsidered this. Love the red crab but will def not go when Restine is there. read more

If you like seafood this place is ok, however if you are going for a function with family and you have seafood allergies this is not the place for you. Non seafood food like chicken wing are all cooked in the same fryers as seafood it's cross contamination they make no provision to cook non seafood. Had a Cesar salad and it was the worse ever. Will not go there again. read more

Will NOT be wasting my time again. Their website says dining closes at 9:30 pm. They verbally and there was a sign on the door that said 9:00pm. Walked in right at 9:00pm. Even showed them my phone. Denied. I guess the true time was 8:59 pm. There was 3 of us. Three!! Lazy employees if they are chasing customers away at 9:00 pm. Rockin Crab on Blanding Blvd got our money and was more than happy to serve us. Don't trust this place. read more

Arrived at 3:15 were promptly seated. We ordered appetizers consisting of jalapeño poppers, corn nuggets and hush puppies. We were a party of 4 thus ordered two orders of low cowboy boil. (Consisted of crab, shrimp, sausage, potato, and corn with sauce). One was ordered mild and one spicy. It was delicious!! Too much food. The server was attentive. The hostess was also nice. Nice atmosphere. Will return when back in Jax. read more

First time here and we were super hungry! We both ordered Royal lobster special that had lobster, crab and shrimp. Too bad we had to wait for over an hour to get our food. Our waitress appeared to be super busy and it was impossible to get her attention. When we finally were able to ask her, she said it's coming. After an hour we requested to speak to the manager. She was very apologetic and our food came out in 5. Everything was delicious, but an over an hour of wait was way too long. We got a 20% discount for the wait. read more

Red Crab - Royal Lobster special - Seafood Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

What you expect from a "juicy crab" type of place. My husband gets the seafood boil and LOVES it. There's plenty of seafood a day also comes with potato and corn. It is well seasoned and spiced appropriately. The hush puppies and corn nuggets are good, too. I love the Cole slaw, it's perfectly creamy, sweet, and vinegary. One of our favorite apps/sides is the pasta. It tastes just like the seafood boil, but over pasta. Everyone goes crazy over it. Their fried shrimp basket comes with a lot of shrimp over a big basket of fries. The servers are always very, very sweet. Most times they've been consistent and the food and drinks come promptly. The last time we went it took about 45 minutes to get our food, but that's not the norm. The only con I'd say is that they could clean the drink special card that is on the table. It's ALWAYS sticky and gross feeling. read more

The food is always amazing. Delicious and seasoned to perfection. Oysters are oh so good and the sauce is super yummy! I've been to this place many many times over the years and I have never had a bad experience! The service is great, they make sure everything is going well but don't stop by your table to the point that it becomes annoying while you're trying to eat. The alliance is nice, good music and the lighting isn't overbearing. The price is great too. I highly recommend the steamer Oysters with the juice special seasoning read more

Red Crab is definitely a hidden spot in Mandarin. I walked in and was greeted immediately, it was a Thursday night so it was not packed at all. The restaurant was clean and welcoming I ordered my usual when i come to places like this.. a pound of snow crab, extra potato, corn and in their sauce specific to the location. The boil bag came out quickly although there was not a lot of sauce in the bag it did have good flavor. The potato's were a little undercooked, i usually like them on the harder side but some of these were too hard and a couple were too soft .. the corn was cooked perfectly. The crablegs were good! I also ordered a Mai tai which was perfect! I will be visiting this location again to try a few more items off of the menu. read more

We came across this restaurant by accident last night but decided to check them out. What I loved the most about our visit was the customer service!!! Our server was very attentive, provided helpful information, made sure we had refills , and continued to check up on us during the time we were there. We never felt rush even after they were beginning to close up and my daughter had to go to the bathroom. I appreciate that the multiple TV's they had in the building the were also showing kid shows for the littles to help keep them entertained while waiting for the food to arrive. Check them out when you are in the area read more

Valentine's Day will never be the same. We finally went out on Valentine's Day. The actual day. I asked my wife to choose the letter L or the letter R. She chose R, so we headed to Red Crab in Mandarin. Can I say, seafood on fleek! Oysters check. Claims check. A cold beer check. And crab legs double-check. All with our favorite sauces, corn, and potato. A must do again. All I can do is keep linking my fingers. In the words of Colonel Sanders, Red Crab was finger looking good. For real!!! read more

Fried shrimp is amazing!!! Can't wait to go back and get more. Very crunchy and fresh. Slaw is very nice too.

Finally came in for a boil. Reading the mixed reviews on the boils I was ready to give it a go and check it out for myself. My first experience a few months back was ok but tonight made me a fan. I chose the daily special of snow crab legs, shrimp, sausage and potatoes with the juicy sauce hot level. This is one below their hottest and was perfect for me. Their juicy sauce is a mix of all their sauces all in one. Sooo good! I also added a pound of blue crabs as I wanted to try those too. My bag came out and the waitress put it all on the stainless steel platter. I was so excited I started digging in on the shrimp, sausage, and corn. I then went for the blue crab and noticed I didn't get any snow crab. I let the waitress know and she resolved the minor issue quickly. The snows didn't make it into my pic but they were huge. The blues were relatively small and while the bodies were good, the claws aren't worth the hassle at that size. I did what I could. It I did save them for last. Overall I was very satisfied as everything was prepared to perfection. Snows broke easy, shrimp was perfect, corn and potatoes were tasty. I'll be back - and soon. read more

Let me start off by saying I have been there one other time and I enjoyed the food and the service was good. However, my most recent time I was highly disappointed in the food that I received. The food tasted like it's been sitting there. The crab had no meat whatsoever. The crawfish tasted like it had been sitting in the freezer. I do not recommend this restaurant if you are looking for great seafood. On top of not being happy with my food I paid an amount where I should've at least gotten food. -- AND I'm still starving ... read more

Really fun location, service was good and parking was easy. It is the same concept as Juicy Crab that has been so popular lately. First off, I love crab. Second, I really love crab. Some of my favorite memories growing up were sucking crabs at family dinners. Sometimes those crabs were caught by us, but sometimes our crab skills were weak and we had to buy some on our way home. If we had to buy some, we never told anyone, so as far as they are concerned we are great crab fishermen. I got the dub genius crab with shrimp and my wife got the same. I enjoy picking picking crabs and clean all mine before I start eating. My wife eats as she goes and tries to steal my piles. It was a bit pricey, but the flavors were spot on. If you have been to a Juicy Crab, you know what to expect. read more

What can I say? My experience here was not a good one. You may say, "Jay P, they just opened for business". Well, hear me out first. Between my order taken and made incorrectly... to receiving my order only to find out that it was missing side items and entrée items... to making a return trip drive back to this establishment... only to be charged more for the missing entrée item because order was taken incorrectly... to being overcharged for such missing Entree item, which I had to bring to management's attention to have corrected ...to having to wait again for the missing items to be made... and to only discover later that the missing items they cooked were still missing an item after it was all said and done. BIGGGG SIGH !!!! And the kicker here was, they were not busy at all. Folks, if you only saw the fumes coming out of my COVID-19 compliant mask, you would have assumed that I was Vaping underneath it. I wanted to cry, only because I was sooo Hangry. This was lost time and frustration that I will never able to regain back again EVER. Fast forward.. I'm at home, ready to dig in. I ordered the Juicy-Hot (Juicy which is all seasonings combined; Hot being the spice level). My food was just Meh, there were no spice at all. Where was all the ooomf??? Where's the heat??? It tasted like a below average mild spice level. SIGH again. So disappointing, so I hope that a 2nd and 3rd visit will be a much different experience, which I will update my review once that happens. read more

Can you believe I had never been to one of these Crab boil places!?! We had to fix that last night! My thoughts on them before going last night was expensive, messy, not enough food. Now after going and seeing this whole experience my thoughts are ok the price is a little high but better then what I was thinking, my snow crab legs, shrimp and sausage boil was around $25 and was enough to share with my little one. My friend got a dozen raw oysters and they were like freakishly big, and mild tasting. The messy part was true, you can't eat this food and be graceful, by the end I was covered in garlicky greasyness everywhere!! My friend told me I had to get the "Juicy sauce" which is a combination of all their sauces...oh Lordy this was the right call delicious!! I was worried it would be too much but it tasted great! The shrimp were big and tasted great, the snow crab legs were a little bit soggy to crack open but also tasted great, the sausage was just ok and there was tons of it in there! The place was clean and no seafood smell! read more

We came here casually on a Saturday night and were surprised to see it so dead as it has many good reviews. First, I ordered their "Gummy Bear" drink which sounded super good on the menu. It was soo strong that it took me the entire time I was there to finish it. If they wanted to increase sales, they should make drinks per requirement and maybe I would have ordered another one. Not to mention the fact that the one drink was $10. I ordered a seafood boil with double snow crab legs and eggs to be added with the "juicy sauce" (it comes with potatoes and one corn on the cob). While they forgot the eggs I paid extra for, my waitress did go back and made sure to get some for me. This was super good! I really liked the sauce but I did request a higher heat level and did not taste the spice but I enjoyed it very much and my boyfriend enjoyed his combo as well. I will definitely be back but will likely skip on the drinks. read more

My mother was in town visiting so we decided to try somewhere new and we were not disappointed. The food was hot and tasted so fresh. It was spiced just right and I personally love potatoes and they were perfect. Service was great and quick. It was quiet as we went in just before the dinner rush around 5:15 PM. Definitely recommend them if you are looking for fresh seafood and love boils. read more

I cant say enough about this place. I'm here at least once a month, if not more than that and they never disappoint. Sometimes I'll order in and have drink off the drink special menu, and sit at the bar. Other times I'll get my order to go, come here for a date with my wife, or I'll bring the whole family. Once they accommodated a party of 20, no problem. The orders are always fresh, correct, and delicious. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, and I make sure I tip generously. If you haven't been, I highly recommend a visit. You will not be disappointed read more

Picked up dinner here for my mom's birthday yesterday. I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops. They were terrible. All 3 of us love scallops but could not eat them. My husband will eat ANYTHING and told me to throw them away. Not worth $25 at all. My husband got he fried catfish and was not a fan. This place is not super close to us so we were not interested in calling to return anything. The positive part of this is I ate broccoli, corn, and rice for dinner ( the sides). Which is healthy choice for the most part. Being 38 weeks pregnant it was the first night I didn't wake up with heart burn! So it may have been a blessing in disguise. My mom did enjoy her fried shrimp and side of corn. And after all it was her birthday, so I was happy. read more
