The server that helped us (her name is Canyon) was super kind and patient with us since it's our first time here. We ordered the Crab Rangoons as our appetizer. Hands down the best we've ever had. So light and crispy and the sweet dip gives it that certain je ne sais quoi. The butcher paper with the logo repeated as the tablecloths and the decor in general are on point. We also ordered the crawfish boil special and the chicken tender po boy. Both were super fresh, flavorful and amazing. We will ABSOLUTELY be coming here again!

Hush Puppies

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!

I came here for the first time, and I was blown away with how amazing the customer service is and the food!! Soo delicious. I highly recommend it. I had the pleasure of having Spasa as my server!! Spectacular experience, if I'm ever back in St. George Utah, I will definitely be coming back here!

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!

Amazing spot we found.! Came from Cali and was looking for a place close to home and this place nailed it ! Thank you Krista for being awesome !!!

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

First time coming here from Littlefield Az, AMAZING SERVICE from SPASA!! She was very friendly, helpful, & accommodating! It has been awhile receiving as wonderful service that was provided as we ordered the House Platter! Loved it. We will be back again!!

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!

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.

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!!

One of the best seafood boils I've ever had. Shrimp snow crab, sausage, corn and potatoes were perfect. Sauce well made!

I told the person I made the reservation that I was going to be there for a birthday dinner, with the intent of having a great time. First of all, the server Domonic, was stiff....he didn't check on me or my partner other than to ask us to cut into our steaks when we got them. My guy's steak was not as he wanted....he wanted it cooked medium, he got almost rare....it had to get sent back...then a drink I ordered, a painkiller, tasted watery...and the Diet Coke my guy wanted had a strange taste. When I asked for another drink, the answer was quick and terse..."we don't give free refills" Wow!.......it's as if he wanted us to leave immediately and had the to go containers at the ready....(was it because my partner and I are an interracial couple?) (he had a bad day? ) (who knows) The interaction with the server felt off from the beginning. The place is nice, but I felt let down. Unbeknownst to the restaurant, they had a celebrity in their midst.....Olympic athlete, gold medal winner....not naming him unless asked.... I tipped Domonic $20 because customer service is hard and times are hard.... The ladies at the desk were nice and personable.... Would I come back here, not really..

We visited St George and searched for the best restaurants in town. ARAGOSTA came up as the highest…read morerated. This doesn't always mean great but we wanted to give it a try and we are glad we did. We started with escagot. They were very large and extremely tender. So many times a place will smother them with cheese and broil them to rubber. Not here. The garlic was fresh and not overpowering. The snails were definitely the star. One nice touch was the spoon they provided to scoop the garlic and butter onto the provided crustini. My wife ordered the Hungarian Tenderloin Goulash with Goat Cheese Spatzel. She describes the meal as "traditionally clean. All the flavors hit the right notes." I was between several choices. One was the Squid Ink Fruti De Mar. This dish restored my faith in the excellence Squid Ink pasta can be. Having traveled extensively globally, I can truly say I have never had better. The depth of flavor of the pasta grew with each additional bite. Then the seafood - it was evident that each type was cooked separately resulting in each being cooked tonight their optimum perfection. No over or undercooked here. Then the sauce. Not overpowering or over indulgent. Perfect. There is only one thing I will ding this restaurant on - its the wine list and wine prices. The list is lacking and could be much better to compliment to food. The prices for the wine don't match the value. Overall 9.8 out of 10. We will recommend ARAGOSTA and we will return.

I…read morewas by myself and I usually like to sit at the bar when I am dining alone but the restaurant does not have a bar. A bit of a bummer but it was okay sitting by the fireplace. My service and food were excellent! I had the pear purse pockets, a favorite of mine that I have not seen on a menu in years. I was very excited to see them on this menu!! The chef came out and spoke to me which was a nice gesture and much appreciated. They only serve wine and beer. They have a nice selection of wines and I don't know about the beer choices because I don't normally drink beer. I would offer a suggestion for the music. Spend the extra money and have the commercial free streaming. The ambience was great until the commercial interrupted the mood. Also, get rid of the dead green plant and pot to the left of the fireplace; it's a terrible eyesore. Overall I will definitely be back for some more purse pockets!
