    Hush Puppies
    Rachael W.

    Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Shout out to Angie, she was an amazing waitress, drinks were never empty and we were checked on frequently. For the food, we had the "house platter" (meant for 3-4, it fed all five of us) medium with the Crab Daddy seasoning. It had the perfect amount of heat, not spicy but a lingering heat. We subbed out the crawfish for 2 extra pounds of shrimp, we didn't feel like fighting the crawfish. The snow crab was sooooo good, and the lobster was really good as well, not overcooked or anything. Also had the hush puppies and beignets. Hush puppies were a bit on the small side but full of flavor. Beignets were hot and fresh, with tons of powdered sugar (we may have gotten in to them before I took the picture ) The bad: I got nothing, it was great!

    FOOD the seafood boil is "light," so i wouldn't say there's a strong cajun flavor (despite being the flavor we got). i'd also say the same applies to the fries--they were just regular fries; HOWEVERRR, it was a good kind of buttery, so we enjoyed it :) ALSO WELL-PRICED BTW SERVICE there are a lot of servers moving around, but our server never forgot about us! so we were able to get everything smoothly AMBIANCE there are a lottt of tables inside so no need to worry about that ! + there's lik 4 tv's playing different channels, so i thought that was pretty cool LOL ultimately super cute w super cute decor too

    Crawfish were huge

    We stopped in St. George for a few days on our drive to/from California to SLC and I read great things about Rusty Crab Daddy so we decided to give them a try. We went about 5 PM on a Monday evening and it already had quite a crowd in there. We were welcomed with a smile and promptly seated. We ordered a crab boil to share with an extra cluster of snow crabs and added mushrooms. The boil came with potatoes, corn on the cob, crawfish, shrimp, and crab and we chose the Crab Daddy special sauce. It took about 15 minutes for it to come out and it was delicious! The restaurant has booths with paper lined tables as well as open tables and chairs in the center of the dining room. Our server was courteous enough but did not go above and beyond for us as some others have mentioned about other servers, hence the 4 stars. However, the hostess/server was wonderful, she came by to check on us, and even went to get us a side of drawn better. We ordered beignets for dessert, which were okay, but definitely not the quality of café Du Monde. All in all we enjoyed our meal and when we are back in St. George visiting family, we'll definitely stop in again!

    LOBSTER AND SHRIMP BOIL

    This is our second time here and just as the first it does not disappoint. The food as always is excellent , the restaurant is spotless with a nautical theme and last but not least the service is fantastic. Our server Krista was knowledgeable about the menu, very efficient and has a great personality. Krista if you read this the Xmas card will be in the mail! Highly recommend!

    The Shrimp Special
    Lexi D.

    We visited St. George this past week and were looking for places near by to try. Saw the reviews on Rusty Crab Daddy and decided to stop in for lunch. It was the BEST experience all around. Food was unbelievably delicious, crab and shrimp were so fresh and flavorful. Perfectly seasoned! The staff, Kacey was our waiter, were phenomenal. So polite, accommodating, and attentive. Definitely some of the best service we've ever received. Our food came out fast, cups were never empty, and price was incredibly fair. Would come here again next time we come through Utah. Wish we had this in Arizona!

    I love Cajun crab boils and seen this spot on several trips to St George but was always hesitant trying a restaurant like this in this town. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. The service was top notch, from the moment I stepped in, the hostess was super friendly and seated me right away. The waitress was super attentive, checked in on me and refilled my water on a good cadence. The gumbo was tasty, with real crab meat, shrimp, and crayfish. I got the crayfish special which came with a cluster of crab legs, crayfish, shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes. I did the rusty crab daddy seasoning which combines all the seasonings in a hot level. Tasty, piping hot, good quality ingredients. Everything comes out in an inflated bag and the waitress shakes it up and pours it out onto your platter for you. Put your plastic bib on get ready to get your hands and face messy lol. This place would stand up against most spots in salt lake. Don't be like me and avoid coming here thinking St George can't do seafood boils right.

    Once again back in St George and out trying new places. My wife and the rest of the group wanted seafood and this place has it all. When we arrived the lot was pretty full and we got the last 2 spots. Once we walked in we were greeted right away and a table was available. We were seated promptly. The table and restaurant were clean and comfortable it wasn't too noisy even though it was busy. Our server Bryden came over right away and got our drinks going. Shortly after we placed our orders. There was some confusion with wanting to sub out shrimp due to a shrimp allergy but we worked it out. It did seem off that you couldn't sub something due to an allergy but what can you do. I'm not a seafood person so I got some chicken and fries. It was ok but this isn't a chicken joint so I wasn't expecting perfection. The huge boils came out and were massive. There was plenty for everyone and nothing was left behind. Everyone really enjoyed all the different morsels and I don't think much was left. Overall the service was good as well as the food. We would definitely visit again.

    Shrimp, potatos, corn on the cob, eggs,

    Absolutely Amazing service!! Food was epic! Our waitress, Angie, was smiling, and sweet. Atmosphere was fun and cheerful.

    Went on a Thursday evening and the place was packed. Still got seated quickly by friendly staff. Plenty to choose from including non seafood options. It would seem pricey but two people can easily share one bag of the seafood making it very reasonable. My son, whose birthday we were celebrating was very happy. The seafood wasn't fishy and the spice was great making it overall a great meal!

    Beignets
    Christi A.

    Outstanding service and fantastic food. We ordered the shrimp crab boil and fried flounder basket. Tons of food, all of it was delicious! Shrimp were large and well cooked. Batter on the fish was light and crunchy. Polished off dinner with an order of beignets. You do not want to miss the beignets. Fabulous!!! Service was outstanding and our drinks never got close to empty before our waitress brought another refill. We will be back for sure!!

    Spasa was an amazing server. Went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Food was great and came quickly.

    Lobster Special, wonderful!

    Spasa was the best waitress we have ever had. Very informative about the menu, service was excellent. Food was delicious and served hot and fast. Jumbo Fried shrimp is delicious and the lobster special was perfect. We will be back soon, hopefully Spasa will wait in us!

    Food, ambiance and above all, our server Spasa was absolutely outstanding! It was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. The food was so delicious and we wish we could have eaten more. We walked away stuffed and happy. Our server couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating- you could definitely tell that she loves what she is doing. Thank you Rusty Crab Daddy and Spasa for a wonderful experience!

    We have friends who have been trying to get us to come here for years. We finally made it tonight…read moreand we instantly regretted not making it sooner. First of all we had our two kids with us and they immediately brought out a plate of apples for them to start snacking on. Very thoughtful and helpful. It kept them busy until we ordered and appetizers were brought out. I ordered the biscuits, the brussels sprouts, and the chicken confit. I couldn't eat the biscuits but my husband and kids devoured them. They looked incredible. I will be dreaming about the brussels sprouts until I return. My husband and I both agreed they were the best we've ever had. The chicken was great too- would have preferred white meat and additional sauce but still good. We loved our meal and look forward to making this place a regular when in town!

    My third time at WAR. Food has been excellent each meal. This time I sat at the bar and the service…read morewas great. Ambiance is always great too as the restaurant has a great vibe. I had the beet salad with poached pear. It was really delicious and was a great combination on the taste buds. Then I had the confit chicken (boned in). It had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. The slaw was also good. If you go to WAR, you must get the biscuits. They will complement almost any meal. Also, my drink was the WAR Tan. I've had it before and it was delicious again!

There were 4 people behind the reception table and that's good because there were piles of people inside! We were afraid we won't get a table fast because there were probably 30 people waiting both in and out. The receptionist asked if we're ok with sushi bar. We said yes and we were seated in 3 minutes, way ahead of everybody! There are 2 sections: habachi and sushi. We were of course seated at the sushi area. Our server's name was Star and she was lovely, highly attentive and efficient. We ordered sushi and yakisoba and everything was fresh and tasty!

The reason for the one star review is the quality of the food. The food was bland and lacking seasoning except for the soup which tasted like you were putting salt directly on your tongue. We tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the next morning I woke up with severe food poisoning, and spent the whole day stuck in my hotel room sick. We've called the restaurant, left a voicemail, and wrote in. We have not heard back. While we were initially excited to try this restaurant after driving by it for years, we will not be returning, and won't recommend this venue to anyone. They seem to have more focus on branding and being flashy, rather than proper food handling.
