    Lobster shrimp potatoes corn
    Rayen K.

    I've eaten at Red Crab before and used to enjoy it, but this last visit was a total letdown. The lobster and shrimp were both extremely overcooked--rubbery and dry. The lobster tail had barely any meat in it, like it had been sitting out or cooked down to nothing. The sauce, which is usually the saving grace, tasted completely different and honestly not good. It felt like a new cook or owner took over and just doesn't know what they're doing. For the price, I expected way better. Definitely not coming back unless things change.

    The seafood here is soo fresh and good! Everything was properly cooked and my shrimps were just the right texture. Portions are good and Cajun Sauce is great!! Our server was very hospitable, polite and friendly. Seating was great and we did not have a wait time. I love the drink I got but I cannot remember the name of it lol! Sorry. The restaurant was clean and comfortable as well! It's a good place to meet up with friends, have some seafood and drinks and chat for a bit. Check them out if you're in the area y'all!

    Have been going here for years and will not be returning. Prices have gotten higher, and portions smaller. Why would I pay more than I used to for less food and seemingly lower quality crab? What all is in the photo is $40!!!!!

    Dang! Where has this place been all my life?! Came here solo because I was on a business trip in the area. I wanted something messy, buttery, seafood broil food and this was the first place that popped up on my Yelp. With their large parking, I was able to pull in with ease and it's hard to miss. I walked in and the host seated me immediately. I ordered a 1/2 garlic butter mild headless shrimp, with white rice and a Yuengling. The shrimp was piping hot when served. It was burning through my gloves but it was so delicious that I didn't care. Their white rice is definitely Asian because it was sticky (and I freaking love Asian white rice)! I complimented the manager at the end of my dinner because I was so happy with my meal. I wish this was a chain restaurant closer to home. Or maybe... I would make the drive out to Ocala again just for this.

    I was not able to find this on Yelp, so I am adding it for all. We ordered calamari for an appetizer and we have one twin that is allergic to seafood, so she ordered the chicken wings and the other ordered chicken tenders. My wife had the crab legs and shrimp (headless) boil - you can order it with heads on - and I ordered the Friday special: lobster tail, shrimp (headless) and snow crab boil. The calamari was decent and I didn't get a chance to try the hush puppies. Holy seafood boil, Batman! That right there is some really good food! We both got garlic butter sauce and I had the medium spice and my wife had mild. To. Die. For!! Seriously, I could eat here 2-3 times a week. The little mini lobster was decent, but the shrimp and crab legs? Just keep 'em coming!! Seriously, I can't say enough how good this was! My mercy, this is some great eats! Update: So we have been back almost every weekend since our first visit. I know it may sound crazy, but it's just that good! This visit we had the pleasure of having Sage, our server on our very first visit, serve us again. Just as she did on our first visit, she was fast and efficient and even found two little forks for digging the crab meat out of the legs. If you plan on going, ask for her section/tables. Another update: Red Crab Juicy Seafood: Alright, y'all...you have had at least a 2-week break from me rambling on about how excellent this place is - but that is over!! We purposely took a break just to remember what other food tastes like on our weekend nights out. We did some Chinese, we did some Mexican, some all-American breakfast places and tonight we circled back to see if 1) it is really as good as we believed it to be, and 2) we were just enamored with some place new and once we took a break it would just be "meh" when we came back. Seriously, the food here is just phenomenal. I mean the spice mix, the food freshness, the speed at which you are served - everything. We got the snow crab legs with shrimp boil, which comes with little corn on the cob and red skin potatoes, the twins got chicken tenders and wings and everybody loved it. It is not a fluke. This place rocks. And I would be doing our server, Sage, a huge disservice if I didn't give her huge props. She not only remembered us, but she remembered our drink orders, what we were having as entree's. She does an absolutely fantastic job each and every time. She ROCKS! Coronavirus Update: Red Crab Juicy Seafood: Carry Out version. To be fair, we live approximately 30-35 minutes away from the restaurant, so the food had cooled just a little, but we used the insulated bags from Sams Club to keep everything as warm as possible. That being said, AWESOME!!!! We got our usual order: 1 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of snow crab, garlic butter (one mild, one medium), 1 pound of sausage and an order of chicken tenders. Amazingly, everything stayed very warm and the flavors? Oh my, so delicious! It was almost like eating out...except we had our dogs hoping we'd drop something. Well done, Red Crab!!

    Pricey but worth it! The ambiance leaves a little to be desired but the seafood is fresh, hot, juicy and just gooooooood. Step one - pick your seafood or go with a combination. Step two - pick your flavoring. We picked all three choices! Step three - Pick your spice level. I got medium and it was tasty but not too hot.

    Actually 4.5 Skylar was a great waitperson accomodating & always there at all the right times. This young girl has the makings for a great career in the food & beverage industry. Clearly an up & coming superstar. Sean- See you soon! Great place with a full bar. Everything was sensational All foods a clear 10* except calamari was a 19* Downside no coleslaw, no salads Cajun fried not well seasoned. Frozen onion rings are a disgrace. Make your own, thin sliced with a crispy breading. Fried shrimp large & tasty.

    This place is great. I got the snow crab, shrimp and clam with all the seasonings and medium spice. It was fantastic. The sauce is great and was Fantastic for dipping the potatoes in as well. I would recommend asking for more potatoes, you will be glad you did. The service was great and the ambiance was casual and nice. Not a quiet place but not super loud. All around great place to eat. Highly recommended

    Food was good and came within reasonable time. Good service. Place was clean. The family seafood platter was sufficient + for 3 adults and 3 children. The seasoning and seafood broth was tasty with a little kick. Recommend.

    Sam St. John's Seafood is hidden away in a strip mall, but it totally worth the visit. We've been…read moregoing here for years and their fried shrimp is THE BEST ANYWHERE. It's lightly breaded and fried to perfection. It is always great!!!! They have great sides like fried okra, baked beans, grits and cheese grits, green beans, fries and more. I've never tried their other fish dinners personally, but others I have been here with have and they enjoyed. Our server, Brian was friendly and attentive. It's not a fancy place, but you will definitely get a good meal here!

    We were traveling from Southern Florida up to Charleston and decided to stop for a quick sandwich…read moreat Sam's St. John's Seafood. The reviews looked decent, so we figured: why not? It was clearly short-staffed -- I only saw one cashier handling things -- but the place wasn't empty. There was a big table (10 or so people) and others waiting to be seated, so I understood things might move a little slower. I ordered and was told it would be a 15-minute wait. It was raining, and our car was parked kind of far away, so I stayed inside. There were no seats available, so I sat in a vacant booth near the register in an unused area. The cashier immediately told me I couldn't sit there because it was a "clean area," which naturally raised the question... so is everything else not clean? I said, "No problem -- I'll stand outside in the rain," and she literally responded, "OK." For context on the wait time: I managed to write 97% of this review before the food showed up. The food situation didn't get better. After about 30 minutes, I told the server/cashier I couldn't wait much longer. She asked if I wanted the manager and I said that would probably be a good idea. I waited another five minutes... and instead of a manager, she came out with my food and handed me the bag. To her credit, she was very nice and apologized -- and she also told me something that explains a lot: she's trained to say "15 minutes" regardless of how long it actually takes. That's... not a great system. As for the food: the sandwich was fine for what it was, although there was a little too much bread. But the french fries and fried okra were lukewarm and soggy, which was disappointing after that wait. Bottom line: I can handle a busy place and I can handle staffing challenges -- but the attitude, the seating/rain situation, and the inaccurate wait time made this stop more frustrating than it needed to be. If you're looking for something quick, just know that "15 minutes" may not mean 15 minutes.

We started with the seafood trio appetizer, which had a nice mix of fried calamari, shark bite shrimp, and a cold crab dip that was served with five pieces of warm bread. The shark bite shrimp had a little bit of spice to it, but not overly spicy. The crab dip had a great flavor of Old Bay, but not overwhelming. Then we moved onto the seafood tower which was a variety of cold seafood. The oysters were my favorite. The clams were my least favorite. The oysters were shucked perfectly and were super fresh. While the shrimp was delicious... I do wish they were deveined and shelled. Thee server was nice and pretty quick. We sat outside on their patio area that is basically in front of the parking lot area but it was still nice to be outside. Overall the food was good and I would go back and try a few new things. But I would absolutely get the oysters again.
