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.

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

Food was so good I'll definately be going back it was a good atmosphere didn't feel rushed

#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… 

Do you take call ahead seating/reservations?

We visited here for our 21st Wedding Anniversary!…read more Great ambience and plenty of room in the different areas. Drink/wine selection is top notch- we went with the Pinot Noir. Started with the crab dip- great flavor and texture, fresh scallions and shaved cheese which helped build up the crab flavor- even got extra bread for the dip since it was a good sized portion, Baby green salad- fresh, crisp lettuces, cucumbers and tomatoes in a vinaigrette Bacon wrapped pork loin was flavorful and tender on the inside while the bacon was crispy and cooked to perfection. The highlight was the squash - almost like a veggie lasagna. Char grilled cab ribeye- cookedto perfection (medium rare) with potatoes. Balsamic fingerling potatoes- while they had agreat taste and texture- little too sweet. Finished with a key lime pie- heaven in a pie crust- great key lime flavors, meringue was to perfection!

Service: Speedy! Even on a full night after the Kentucky Derby, the service was wonderfully quick!…read moreThe server gave us a few wonderful recommendations of the menu and we enjoyed all of them!! Food: Cornbread- unexpected. This was the free bread corse for the table but it was not expected. This didn't come out until after we ordered our meal. If we had known, we wouldn't have ordered such big meals. Crab & Artichoke dip- Delicious! The dig was luscious and came out piping hot! Definitely burnt my mouth because I was impatient Hawaiian Fish- Big portions! It is true when they say that everything is bigger in the south! The fish was light and free of the fishy scent. The rice was a bit mushy from the cook and the addition of sauce. Angus Filet Mignon- standard. The filet was cooked nicely and the lobster compound butter was a nice touch. On to my next adventure...

Didn't see any garlic pieces tastes like country crock and garlic powder with a sprinkle of Cajun seasonings for razzledazzle. The skinniest crab legs about the same size as the china buffet's and the shrimp was over cooked. 3/10 go to storming crab and pay the extra money! $21.99 Shrimp Hibachi fried rice- no flavor and only 4 pieces of shrimp. 3/10 $14.95 Service- 3/10 Staff was rushing us to order and didn't provide us with crab cracker tool and when we asked for a crab cracker tool they said to bring the tool back up to them once we are done. lol they had an employees teenager waiting in the dinning area and the staff who was taking drive through orders was outside smoking while doing so. Idk. Ambiance- 7/10 it was clean on the inside. But they had some weird show on the tv.

Such a unique place with an even more unique menu! This is one of those places that you go to for…read morethe food AND the atmosphere! We went for their Happy Hour specials (highly recommend!).

Our first visit to Yacht Sea Bar was definitely a memorable one!…read more Walking in, we immediately loved the decor. Everything was on theme, right down to the creative menu items. However, the initial experience was a little confusing. No one greeted us when we entered, and there was a group of at least 10 guys gathered around the bar. We asked if they were in line, and they explained they were ordering drinks. We stood around for probably another 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. Eventually, we decided to grab seats at the bar. We mentioned to the bartender that it was our first visit, which he acknowledged, but we weren't given any guidance on how ordering worked. Apparently, you either start a tab immediately or pay for everything upfront before receiving your food and drinks. Not a big deal at all, but a little explanation would have been appreciated! Now, let's talk about the FOOD because EVERYTHING WAS FANTASTIC! We ordered piña coladas, the Chi-ca-gogo (fried and wrapped in bacon), the evening's special clam chowder, and a bacon cheeseburger. Every single item was delicious. Compliments to the chef! The clam chowder arrived first, and the aroma alone had us ready to dig in! It wasn't your typical thick chowder, but it certainly wasn't lacking in flavor or ingredients. There were generous portions of clams, bacon, and potatoes. Absolutely delicious! The staff definitely runs a tight ship (pun somewhat intended), but a little more interaction, warmth, and lighthearted banter would really elevate the experience, especially for first-time visitors. Would I go back? Absolutely! The food alone is worth another visit. And now that we know the drill, we'll walk right in, grab a seat, and get straight to business! Great concept, fantastic food, and plenty of potential to make the overall experience just as memorable as the menu.
