Raw oysters
Prudence H.

My first time inside. Normally I door dash their seafood bags. I was looking for raw oysters and boy did I find them. Large and delicious for a decent price. I followed with soft shell crab basket. Fried a little too hard for my liking but good just the same. Service was outstanding.

I feel like Storming Crab is the original seafood boil restaurant in Louisville/Southern Indiana. Ive been here twice and both times were great. Everyone is always so friendly and I feel like the wait for the food was never long. The food is fantastic. I tried the raw oysters on my first visit and that was when I realized how much I loved raw oysters. The portions were really big so I felt like we got our money's worth. The seafood boils are what they are famous for. Each bag I've ordered has been great. Again, portions are huge so you may want to share with a group of people. Side note: get their crab bread and dip it in the seafood boil sauce. It's the best combo;)

The family dinner combo.  A pound of snow crab, king crab leg, shrimp, mussels, two lobster tails, corn, potatoes, sausage and eggs.

Hands down the best seafood boil I've had, and I've eaten plenty in New Orleans. We went this evening for a birthday and got the family dinner. Two lobster tails, a pound of shrimp, king crab leg, snow crab leg, and mussels as well as corn, eggs, potatoes and sausage for two hundred bucks. Honestly, felt like a good deal and easily fed a family of five. But the quality? Well, like I said, best crab boil I've ever had. You can pick different spice options. We did the crab boil mild and it had just enough spice for a good kick of flavor without overpowering the crab. The shrimp were delicious. The mussels were enormous and flavorful. Oh and the raw oysters? Humongous. Not super briny and if you don't like that taste you'll love these. These were seriously some of the biggest oysters I've ever seen. And the crab was just perfect. This was easily a hundred times better than the upscale bougie seafood place across the river in Louisville. Our server was super nice. The whole place is a vibe. I've been wanting to come here for a couple years and I'm so glad we finally stopped in.

Wife, granddaughter Cali and I arrived around 3:40 and saw a few parties already here. Adrianna was our friendly server. We started with a cheesy kind of toasted bread. I liked it, but wife didn't and Cali didn't want to try it. We ordered a #6 which included 1# snow crab, 1# shrimp, a little bit of sausage, 2 half corn on cob and 2 or 3 small red potatoes. We started with some fried calamari which we all enjoyed. It was small rings and came with tartar sauce, cocktail sauce and another sauce. I ordered a bowl of clam chowder. It was okay to me, but wife didn't care for it. We had the #6 dinner seasoned with garlic and Old Bay which was tasty for all of us. No one ate potatoes, wife and Cali ate corn. I ate most of the shrimp. Wife and Cali ate most of the crab. We all had a couple slices of sausage. Crackers and a plastic tool are provided to open the crab legs, but nothing small enough to push through which is just one way to attack it. Another way which worked was cut through the leg shell with plastic tool and extract it that way. Bring some scissors which could help cutting lengthways down the leg shell. About half of the legs are more work than they are worth dealing with. Cali was enjoying herself so we had a great time and all got FULL. It's a messy meal, but they supply plenty of napkins, a bucket, plastic gloves and throw away aprons. Adrianna helped our experience to be wonderful by providing everything we needed without us ever needing to request anything. She is definitely an asset to the team. We appreciate the military discount also.

Snow crab, shrimp with sausage, corn, potatoes and eggs in the crab house Cajun mild.

Great flavors for the boils and great staff. Seafood bread worth the visit alone. Come hungry and leave miserably happy and full

#6 with added broccoli.

Always excellent! We go there often that two of the servers know us. Anthony was our server this time and did a fantastic job. Love this place!

2-3, my boyfriend and I are big eaters. We were famished, had just hiked, and we barely finished one together.

Can u put prices on the menu?

They don't list prices on the menu because the prices are all based on "market price" for the seafood you select they have it written on several chalkboards throughout the place. Market prices fluctuate daily based on supply and demand for the…

Great atmosphere. Love music on a patio! Josh Logan was fabulous!…read moreThe jambalaya was amazing! The bananas foster cheesecake was the best thing I have EVER tasted!

Lou Lou on Market absolutely delivered when it came to the food. From the moment my meal arrived, I…read morecould tell I was in for something special. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and without exaggeration, they were the best I've ever had. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the balance of textures throughout the dish was incredible. Every bite had the perfect amount of crunch, flavor, and toppings. Nothing felt overwhelming or out of place. It was one of those meals where you find yourself slowing down just to enjoy every bite. Even the water deserves a mention. It was clean, crisp, and refreshing. If it came straight from the tap, I would have never known. It's a small detail, but it speaks to the overall dining experience when even something as simple as water stands out. The service was great, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. It's easy to see why this restaurant has built such a strong reputation. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 comes down to accessibility. As a person with a disability, parking can make or break a dining experience. Unfortunately, there was no handicap parking available, and there were no nearby parking spots open when I arrived. I ultimately had to park in a hotel lot about a block away, which cost $25 for just two hours. Not only was the cost frustrating, but the additional distance was challenging given my mobility needs. The food was phenomenal and absolutely worth trying, but I do hope accessibility becomes part of the conversation for future guests. For those without mobility concerns, this may not be an issue, but for disabled patrons, it's something important to consider before visiting.
