We went to Red Crab based on a friend saying the food was good. It didn't start out very well...(1) the lady who seated us had on a bandana but not like in a stylish way. It looked the way I wear one when I'm cleaning my house. (2) We were going to order some drinks but the bar was closed and only canned or bottled beer was available so that was a bummer. (3) We could BARELY understand what the server was saying and she was American ‍. (4) The menu was ok, you can choose different items like a mix and match boil and we ordered crab leg boil and shrimp boil which came out relatively quick in a puffed up plastic wrap. It comes with 2 small potatoes and 1 piece of corn mixed in. The food was very good!! No complaints on that at all. Nicely seasoned and plenty of juice to sop up the corn and potatoes with. Regardless of the minor flaws, I would recommend this place for the food alone! read more

No other seafood restaurant like RED CRAB. LOVE IT!! Service (Britney) was on task for a family of 11.

I sit there for 15 min nobody came to take drink or anything only in Spartanburg sc you get good shit outta of them

This place was kind of hidden, in the corner. The Fried Catfish and Fries were delicious! The Catfish was NOT greasy at all! Prices were decent. Definitely recommend! As far as the service goes, the workers seemed friendly. The ambiance in the restaurant was calming with the sound of water from their indoor-like pond. If you don't mind writing on the walls, bring a pen, or marker, they welcome writing on their wood and walls. Fun place I can imagine, for kids who want to leave their mark. read more

Service was great! Food was good , just needed a little more spice. The ambiance was perfect , low lighting, quiet and calm place. Overall , it was good! read more

Always fresh. Always super good. Service is always fast and it's so much better now that they have an open bar. Only complaint is the bathroom. It needs a remodel and baptism or something. read more

Excellent food, can't wait to go back. If you enjoy seafood boil, then this is the place for you.

Amazing food and great service. When we went it wasn't too busy and was a very enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend!

Food good service was ok could have been better the ambiance was good would eat there again

The food is really good! I really love the hot juicy sauce. My favorite things to get is the Cajun boil with sausage and crab

Crab was overcooked or not stored/handled properly. Service was subpar. At least the Diet Coke was good.

The space in Red Crab is very impressive, once you walk in there's a huge boat where koi fish can be fed! Our waitress was fun and had lots of great recommendations we considered as we were deciding on what to order. We decided on clams and mussels with the everything sauce with Cajun fries. Flavor was pretty spot on however maybe could have had more butter? Otherwise everything was up to par! We caught our server on a bad day because our food came really late, luckily she kept us on the loop and explained everything to us. I'd recommend Red Crab if you're craving seafood and want the experience! Price ranges are average, typical for a seafood spot. Ask for their daily specials to get your money's worth. read more

I would definitely come back here, everything was very well seasoned, staff were very kind and the place was quiet for a Saturday afternoon. Total I paid $46 and if you have a very high spice tolerance order extra hot or you can ask for a plate of extra hot seasoning for $1.50. read more

The seafood boil menu is fairly priced and worth every penny, especially because we only have to wait about 5 minutes after ordering before it hits the table!

Zero stars if possible. I picked up an order only to get home and the chicken wings are not done. My 13 year old ate some of the chicken not realizing that the bright pink color means it's not done. I called the restaurant to let them know to which the restaurant manager said I would need to bring the chicken back for them to recook. I explained that my son ate off of 4 of the wings already and I'm letting them know. Manager then stated she didn't know what else I wanted her to say. I said I have pictures for my records because they're selling undercooked chicken in case he gets sick from what he did eat. Manager replied well we have insurance so... I was hung up on and every attempt to call back as soon as she heard my voice she hung up. This was highly inconsiderate, unprofessional, and irresponsible. It shows how much they care about people and paying customers at that. I will not EVER be back. Keep going like you're going Red Crab you won't be there much longer. read more

Extremely ghetto. Rude on the phone. Orders are always messed up. Do not recommend supporting this kind of business

The food is pretty good. The crab is well cooked and the sauce is great, the juicy special was flavorful and perfect with the corn and potatoes, mussels are meh. The service is below average. I wouldn't recommend this place just based on the service alone, we waited forever for our check and the server was about to leave the restaurant without giving it to us. The restaurant itself says is dirty, the tables have napkins left under them and the napkin holders are sticky and gross. Writing all over the walls and furniture from floor to ceiling, some explicit stuff is written in plain view. No bar. Overall the food is decent but I can't say I'd recommend wasting your time here read more

Love this place! Staff is extremely friendly and the food is great!! Our go to place for our Birthday Dinners! Food portions are large! Food is on the pricey end but it is sea food. read more

It's a really good place if you're going to go in and sit down but if you're gonna order online or pick it up expect to get ripped off, paid $30 for a weekend special just for it to come with three bite-size potatoes, barely any shrimp one corn, one cluster crab and lobster; normally I don't have any bad experiences with them and I've normally got a decent size bag in the past but here recently when I order my bags are lighter and lighter, to pay that much and not get a good amount is ridiculous to me, id rather go to red crab where i get what i pay for! read more

The limited portion of food for $32+ is delicious; however, got a plastic fork to crack and eat snowcrabs, had to order crab crackers utensil, had to order a metal fork (got a standard metal fork , not a seafood fork), had to order saltine crackers. That $32+ meal is not meant to be split between a couple, only one 1/2 corn on cob. Only 3 small red potatoes. Summary: food excellent, the accoutrements and accustomed seafood provisions were unbelievably horrible. Oh yes, this location was supposedly waiting for alcohol license 3 months ago and guess what, as of today (09.16.21) still no license. Don't have knowledge of other locations. read more

We were really impressed with this restaurant. We got the big family platter with lobsters and shrimp corn and it was fabulous. Great service great place. read more

Really good food. I had crawfish and crab legs in the juicy sauce. The sauce was great and the food cooked perfectly. The service was prompt and courteous. I have seen several reviews about rude servers and a lot of people standing around. I think those are valid points from what I could see. Our server was very polite, but we saw several that were not. Overall, based on our experience at our table it was a five. We will definitely go back. Much better than Joe's Crab shack read more

Red Crab - Seafood Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

Sunday @6pm after going to Home Depot next door , I figured I would like to try this place . The hostess , Mych, was very attentive and well informed . I told her it's my first time and explained the food - seafood boil . Was seated and my server was named Tequila. The tables had this paper cover and I can see why . I ordered @6:10pm. I ordered the Monday special : 1/2 lb black mussels, 1/2 lb shrimp , and 1/2 lb snow crab legs. Four choices of sauces : Cajun , Lemon pepper , garlic butter , and "juicy special "( all of the above ). I chose the juicy special . Next was spicy level , I chose medium . After 12 minutes or so , the food arrived in a plastic bag. The server mixed it and placed on my table . I was provided with a plastic bib, gloves (which I didn't use ), wipes , etc . As soon as I opened the bag , the flavorful aroma was so good . Lotsa garlic and definitely Cajun in flavor also . All the food were on point . The sauce tho , ohhhh the sauce, was euphoric . Some potatoes and a half corn on the cob . You can see my photos and yes I finished them all . I definitely recommend this place . Hostess , Mych, was helpful . My server , Tequila , was awesome. She deserves a 25% tip . The food has this flavorful soul that is so much better than Joe's Crab Shack or Red Lobster . Go and try this place now read more

The restaurant is dirty looking. There's writing all over the walls and there's a fake boat in the middle of the place. There's a corner being used for storage of boxes and chairs upside down and it's garbage. Good tastes like frozen food from grocery. read more

Great seafood , good prices , great staff they very fast when it comes to go orders they have your food ready within 10-15 minutes

Well my wife food came out almost immediately, and was great now as far as my food I never got it and they brought it out 45 minutes later after she had eaten all of hers I just asked him to take it off the bill they did and took the food back and we left read more

Never when eating with a 6yr granddaughter have I ever sat thru that song I'll leave if it ever happens again elsewhere. Some songs were current n fun. Others were grotesque! Hearing the Lord's name in vein followed by pu$$y was so wrong on so many levels. There were other children present in the restaurant tonight too. Who doesn't have clam chowder? This place. Who doesn't have baked potatoes? This place. Very little variety that's reasonably priced, not even for picky 6yr old children. We don't go to a seafood spot to eat chicken fingers & fries. Flimsy plastic forks won't split crab legs and paper baskets with cheesecake is uncalled for. Food is way over priced for plastic and paper products. There are few dishes to wash so consumers aren't paying for that. The woman's bathroom was dirty, flat out. Paper all over the floor, a bug in the roach family crawling up mirror, the ceiling....just don't look up. It's covered in greasy gray dust. There's lots of room for cleaning and improvement here. read more

Excellent food and excellent service. I forgot the name of our server but I do remember she is from Columbia. She is very friendly and provides excellent service. The food was amazing as well and our waiter went out of her way to recommend the best items, sauces and made our experience worthy of a 5 star review read more

First timer at this location. We recently visited a restaurant in Charlotte with the same business plan and menu. I heard there was a restaurant in the area with similar dining experience so I gave it a try. If you love seafood boils then this is the place for you. Pros: Fresh seafood Served quickly Prompt waitstaff Friendly service Knowledgeable staff Cons: One hour wait but the place wasn't packed No liquor license yet promoting alcoholic beverages and a full service bar (liquor license applies for) Staff socialization excessive read more

I had crab and shrimp, on my goodness, it was amazing. We decided to go here for a late lunch to try it. The boil came with potato and corn that was so good it leaves you wanting more. Then the flavor of the boil, I had mild with garlic butter and it was so good. The place was clean and our service was good. I will definitely go back and recommend this place. read more

Red Crab - Inside - Seafood Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

I wish there was a separate rating for quality of food versus quality of service. The restaurant is very unorganized and the servers seem preoccupied. It was so hard to get a refill, the check, a to go box...anything. However the food is 5 stars. I'd said I would not return because of the service and long wait but the food was worth giving it another try. If you're looking for any healthy options you will not find it here. No salad or green veggies at all. read more

I was quite pleased with my meal and the service. I recommend the "juicy special" sauce. It is a combination of their three sauces. Apparently you can adjust the heat but we went with mild and it was lightly hot but with plenty of flavor. You can get any daily special on any day . We went with the Thursday Special. 1# of crab legs and 1/2# of shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection. I wish they had, maybe they did and I didn't ask, something besides the metal crab crackers to help get the meat out of the shells. The corn and potatoes were delicious in the sauce. I will warn you, this meal is going to get messy. Thank goodness for the bib's and gloves. We will go back! read more
