Surprising, I did not get any pictures of my experience, which is rare for me. I've wanted a seafood and Storming crab did not disappoint. We went to the restaurant and ordered our food to go. We the ordered the create your our bag. We had shrimp, snow crab and scallops. The sauce was good and our spice level was hot. It was actually hot. The staff was nice and helpful as it was our first time there. Good experience, will definitely be before. read more

Really good food, good service, and a casual atmosphere! My fiancé & I really enjoyed our food and were surprised by how good the seafood bread was! Don't let yourself get caught up in the name... it's cheesy garlic bread with some shrimp (I think) on top... you won't regret trying it. I'm as picky as they come & I really enjoyed it. My shrimp basket with fries was excellent, if a bit salty. My fiancé LOVED his #1 seafood platter. He had at least another meal left over! We were happy with the price & will return! read more

Dined here a few times with work and decided to come with family for Father's Day. Food was great, kids (12 and 15) enjoyed it. Prices was reasonable for a family of 5. Only unfavorable was service and then asking for steep gratitude for barely serving us. Gratitude is based your service the customer, not hand out because of current norm - % of the bill. Only 1 food item; family combo and 4 soft drinks. Whatever! Food is great. read more

Good - my daughter enjoyed her crab. Decent prices. Bad - hostess was not friendly. The fried calamari had zero taste. read more

The food here is amazing! It is arguably some of the best seafood I've ever had. The shrimp, crawdads, and sausage all in a buttery, Cajun deliciousness. The service can be a little nippie but the food is so good. read more

Went there for a lunch of sorts with a friend and we just shared a bunch of appetizers. The place is small inside and there is writing everywhere It's rather odd. Also not in the menu but when you get a bill the seafood options are handwritten in chalk what they are and depending on what you get the price goes up. It's odd and confusing. We order the chicken strip basket. Fries were well seasoned but the chicken was overcooked and not juicy. I def recommend their garlic bread with crab topping. Wow this came out piping hot and very buttery and tasty. Also got a side a gator bites. Def overcooked. Which is to bad cause gator can be amazing. Needed lots of salt due to lack of flavor. Prices were ok. We got those three items and it was about $20. Staff was ok friendly. She wasn't very happy we weren't spending $30 min in a boil each. If you love spending the money on the seafood boils then go for it. I'm assuming g the seafood isnt over cooked. Large parties def take up a lot of table space. Inside is small and not very roomy. It's a chain place to eat but worth trying once. read more

The seafood platter is okay. Very messy as expected. That's part of the fun of it. For some reason though, if I'm going to have a seafood allergy, it's often from this place that I will need to have inhalers and allergy meds in tow and return home. Most places I don't. I don't know why this one. People rave about the bread too, but it's a pass for me. Service is fine. read more

I just returned from living in Indianapolis, IN, after 9 yrs. Where they have more than one option for a great crab boil. My daughter came up from Indy this past Saturday, so we can find a good crab boil here instead we found Stormy Crab. It was very overpriced, and the food was NOT FRESH, which led to me having food poisoning! I was up all night with diarrhea and vomiting! I would never return nor recommend. read more

The crabcakes I ordered were freezer burnt. Walking back to the bathroom the floor was soaking wet and there was no warning sign that they normally put out when floor is wet. Plus, I seen off to the side was a storage area with a door, but it was blocked by a lawnmower and a pile of trash.. the restroom had an overflowing trash bin. There was water everywhere no towels in the towel dispenser. They were either broke or nobody cared to replace or fix them. I felt bad for the server because she was serving halfway decent food in a dirty environment. I tipped her well because what was going on around her was not her fault. I don't want other customers to experience the same.. read more

really good food the oysters were huge, it was my wife's birthday and our first time there, our server Diana was great She had really good customer service and helped us out on our order. Great place to enjoy a beer and some seafood. read more

Went with some family at 5pm on a Thursday. Only 3-4 tables were filled. Others in our party had been before but my first time. Food order messed up; they forgot my wife's plate. She had to walk and find the waitress who said " oh yeah they didn't make it". Never told us. Food was very good. $300 for 5 adults, no drinks. But if you thought the service couldn't get any worse, when went to pay, waitress rolled her eyes like it wasn't her job and proceeded to have a conversation ignoring us. And oh, one more, one of the servers was sitting behind the bar stuffing her face with a sandwich that she kept on the bartender side. Yuck. So, food good. Staff horrible. Management no where in site. I'll give the place another 2 years before they fold. read more

I'm going with 5 stars because this place is FUN, it's a unique dinning experience and the seafood was very tasty. I didn't like the mess as you use your hands to pretty much eat everything. Everything is coated in a butter sauce...which I love the taste...but it's messy. I felt naked without plates and utensils. I was very disappointed in the young hostess as she was more interested in what was happening on her phone than greeting us and making us feel welcome. Our waitress did an adequate job at taking & serving the order and refills. She just didn't do much to help the FuN be even more FUN. On to the food: the meal comes with seafood bread. The bread was baked crispy with a slight amount of cheese and seafood additives. It was okay. The edges of the bread were crispy. It was a good & light start to the meal. We ordered the fried okra and hush puppies for starters. The hush puppies were a beautiful golden color. They were about the size of a quarter, not overly greasy and sweet to taste. It came with a sriracha Mayo style sauce. It didn't have much zip or flavor to add. The hush puppies were good without it. I love fried okra because no one serves it. The pieces were also relatively small. The breading was thin but sufficient. Not too greasy. Not a heavy corn meal taste like you find at some places. The okra tasted fresh though I'm sure it was frozen at some point. I wished the pieces were bigger to get more of the okra taste. The ranch style sauce it came with was also just kinda there. It didn't have a ranch zip either and didn't add much to the okra. Both are good appetizers to try! We had the #2 seafood boil. We selected the garlic & old bay butter mix - yes you can do both. This was a good choice as it gave us both flavors which would dominate your taste for the next hour. We went with the mild spice. This was low enough that I really couldn't detect any spice through the butter. I would try more spice next time. The clams were small but easy to eat. They did give you a fork to remove the clan with. I was surprised they didn't provide a lobster fork as well. Overall the clams weren't much to rave about. Small but fresh and tasty. The shrimp were fairly large and nicely cooked. Not too soft...just enough to make removing the shell...with the fork...easy enough. Again a nice fresh taste. The crab legs were large and meaty. They were cooked soft enough to make the meat extraction easy. The butter really accented the dish here. We didn't order dessert. It was my birthday. They offered to sing but I said no thank you - nice touch to offer. The peppermint ice cream was a great way to cut through the butter taste and top off the meal. Overall I really like the Storming Crab. It is a bit expensive as you would expect for seafood. However I wouldn't let that stop you for a unique dinning experience every once and a while. read more

The seafood boil NEVER disappoints. The food is so flavorful and it is quality. I have never been inside so i wouldn't know what the ambiance is but i have heard that it is overall a fun experience seeing that you get a bib and gloves with your meal, so get ready to get messy!. It is a bit pricey but overall worth it seeing what you get. I have been here 4 times so far and only once was I disappointed . I was shorted a pound of crawfish, realized it when i got home and had to turn around and drive back to pick it up. They gave me some cheesy crab bread on the house that almost made the drive back worth it. If you like seafood i highly recommend you give this place a try! read more

Storming Crab - Seafood Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Great service and food! At first I was skeptical, it's a little pricey but the seafood boil is very good.

It had been a few years since we had eaten here, but seems like it has gone downhill .. The graffiti all over the walls was not appealing. The appetizer of fried mushrooms was very good, but the boil was nothing special . The waiter was pleasant and did a good job. read more

The food was AMAZING. I've eaten as a to go order twice, and each time amazing . I'm it we always fresh.

Well, I was here last evening and I was not impressed. I hate to say that l, but I wasn't. I had a petty of 8. 4 people opted for menu items and the other 4 had a boil. I don't want to get ahead of myself so I'll start from the beginning. 1. Easy access off Coliseum Blvd. Clean and clear parking with plenty of space. 2. A hostess greets and seats you at the door. 3. The location was clean and in my opinion had a nice size crowd. 4. Since we had a petty of 8, a 18% gratuity was auto added to the bill. We all opted for different menu items. The 4 with the boil enjoyed it thoroughly. The 4 with entrees were underwhelmed. The crab cakes, which is what I had were good. Not the best I've ever had, it certainly good. I wouldn't get them again, but they were ok. The crawfish etoufee was more rice than soup, it did have great flavor. The fried catfish was excellent and the gumbo was edible. The 4 of us who didn't do the boil, each shared the various 4 other options. My only real issue is, the boils were served about 22 minutes after the other 4 dishes arrived. So, we all didn't really eat together, which defeats the purposes of having dinner as a group. That made for a long and boring table setting. read more

They add 18% then the server wants you to tip her separately. Fat chance, ive never heard of tipping the restaurant then the server separately. We will not eat her until their manager allows the Server to share the 18%. Its just stipid g read more

We typically go to a different place in Fort Wayne for our crab boil cravings, but they have closed temporarily so in the meantime we decided to go to Storming Crab. Immediately upon arrival at 8:51, they told us the kitchen would be closing in 9 minutes. We thought they closed at 9:30, so we were surprised by this. Then, the host sat us at a dirty booth and said she would come back to clean it off. She did not, we were left standing in the corner until a server eventually came and replaced the paper on our table and wiped it off. At this point, we only had 5 minutes to order. The server came back and told us the system was down BUT we could still order, they were just having trouble checking other guests out. We immediately gave the server our order, he brought out our waters and left for about 10 minutes. He came back with a to-go container with bread and told us the manager wouldn't be in for another 15 minutes to fix the system, so our order was cancelled and we couldn't dine in. Overall pretty bad practice to seat guests and take their orders then tell them to leave. read more

Me an my family were in this previous weekend not very happy!!!!! My husband an I we came once before about month ago , an had a lady by the name bulgin I think was her name !! She was very kind we loved our experience there not just because of the food but because of her drive to make sure we enjoy every moment. However this past weekend we had a another lady & her service wasn't the best asked for a another beer an never got an by the time she remembered i was ready to just get my bill , she didn't tell us there was a service tip before us paying ! Which we payed in cash an others paid with card ! But we tipped this young lady 38 dollars more as we got a number 6 with Cajun mild & add scallops. After my mother-in law pointing out once we got to our destination wondering why bill was so high ??? I was very unhappy an felt as if I was scammed by your waiter . I tried calling in to speak with manager an was told not there . So me nor my family will be back seems your server was trying to make More money off me an my family an that was very unsettling as we had great experience before but will no longer , due to risk of something like this happening again . I sure hope the manger sees this an handles an hold this sever accountable as she may be doing this to others !! Her name beginning with a K !! read more

Storming Crab - Seafood Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

This was my first time eating a "Storming Crab" restaurant and I didn't know what to expect. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was nice. You could smell the food which instantly made me excited. Customer Service: The person at the front who was taking to go orders was nice. Food ordered: Two ordered of soft shell crabs. Since this was my first time trying soft shell crab I was excited but yet nervous. Upon eating them I notice I couldn't taste the meat because the batter was so thick. I was disappointed that I couldn't taste the crab meat. I understand this may have been a mistake but for $20+ and four crabs, I wish it tasted better. I'll give Storming Crab another try but maybe give it a week or two. read more

My husband and my parents in law stopped in this past weekend with the kiddos. We had the best experience we could've asked for. There were nine of us. The reason this experience was so different and amazing was due to the service we received. I believe her name was kaitlyn, but I'm not positive. She has tattoos on her arms. The last time we came in was around June 2023, I remember it so vividly because when we dined in with our party we received a service fee and the service was terrible and our family wasn't even told about it. This time around, kaitlyn did not add a service fee, and she was the best server we ever had !!! We tipped her DOUBLE! We had young kids with us, kaitlyn brought out oranges, strawberries, and crackers for the kids. She interacted so well with them, we never went without ANYTHING. Our cups stayed full the entire time, our food was fresh and very tasty. She made the adults her own special mixed drinks. We will absolutely be back and make sure we ask for her again!! I hope I got her name right!! It's hard to find good service now days read more

Storming Crab - Choose your own with 1lb scallops, clams, headless shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn. - Seafood Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

We ordered takeout since it was late. My son and I wanted to try something different. A couple of months ago we tried crawfish and liked them; so now decided to try crab. I was impressed because they double bagged our order. The staff was very nice and approachable, and the service was quick! The crab was delicious and the butter sauce was amazing! I will definitely come back to try other things off there menu. The restaurant is small, but it's very inviting and the walls are all autographed by people who have visited the restaurant. This is a great family restaurant and would recommend. They also have different levels of spice (We got the mild). read more

Storming Crab - the front of a restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Ok, so let me preface this by saying that I very rarely rate anything 5 stars, but this place was amazing! My wife and I were hungry and I found this on Yelp as we were passing through town and we decided to stop here. We had an amazing time here. I can't remember the last time we both laughed so hard and enjoyed the fun and energetic atmosphere that a restaurant had. If I had to describe Storming Crab in one word it would be, FUN. After we left, one of the only things we could talk about is when we were going to come back. From the bibs and gloves to the (encouraged) writing on just about every available surface by both customers and staff alike; this place exudes fun in just about every way possible! Someone behind us had a birthday and like a lot of places, the staff came to sing to them. You could tell that the staff here legitimately had fun though. One staff member wore a t-rex mask (yeah you read that right). If you're looking for an environment to be silly and have a blast in, this is the place for you. Now to the food; oh my goodness the food. It was delicious! We started out with a complimentary seafood garlic cheese bread which was, as you can imagine, perfect in every single way. We then got an appetizer of hushpuppies. They were perfectly done with the perfect season inside. The hushpuppies were served with a house sauce on the side which had a slightly spicy and creamy flavor. It complemented the hushpuppies very well. For our main course we got the #2 which includes crab, shrimp, clams, sausage, potatoes, and corn. We opted to get ours in the garlic butter sauce. What more can I say about that, you can't go wrong with any of those things. Everything was cooked to perfection. They didn't skimp on the crab either, like some places (cough cough Red Lobster cough cough). Our dish had the thickest crab meat I've ever seen in my life! The real winner of tonight's meal though was our waitress Jenna M. Never in all of our travels or any restaurant we have ever been to in our combined lives have we ever had such incredible service. We have eaten everywhere from McDonalds to Michelin Star restaurants and nobody has ever even come close to the level of customer service that Jenna showed us. She was so very friendly and personable; it really made the experience 100x better. I 100% recommend trying Storming Crab, you will not regret it. I can't wait to go back. read more

I loved the bread, family did not. It is mayo based ?? So not everyone likes warm mayonnaise. Overall it was ok but for over $100 for 4 people is kinda high and I wanted better then ok. Granted I didn't have to order the clams on the half shell but kiddo wanted to try it ( she was not a fan lol) . read more

They got rid of the bar area. The food is great. If you have allergies to seafood they will boil your dinner separately.

Great food! Will definitely be back! I will say service was slow, but with CoVid-19 causing staffing problems it's understandable. Krissy was our server, and despite the crazy night she was having she did amazing! The seafood bread was delicious. We had 6 people in our party. 2 combos and an appetizer was the perfect amount. read more

Love the Cajun butter and would definitely recommend if you like seafood. Staff was friendly and the place was clean.

Honestly I was nervous coming here being it was seafood in Fort Wayne Indiana. No ocean is near us. All the reviews made me want to try it out. I am so glad I did. The food was beyond what I expected. We all had the boils and the shrimp was amazing, and I'm not a shrimp fan and they changed me. The sausage was perfect. I had the medium spice. It was perfectly flavored. The sweet corn was oooh so sweet and so good. The oysters were big, they were not briney. The horseradish would make your nose drip. Loved it. The service was exceptional, we went on a Thursday night. Tisha was our server and she provided us with exceptional service. She made the experience phenomenal. The prices do fit the fresh seafood. This is a must go and experience!! read more

I had a great lunch. I will definitely be back. Yum read more

Storming Crab - Seafood Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

I wasn't all too impressed with the flavors, if I'm being honest. I enjoyed my experience and the waitresses were nice. I was first told we were allowed to have our sauces mixed and then 5 minutes later told we weren't... so I'm not sure which part is true. I think the combos are a good deal. You get a variety of different seafood (which is a bonus). Super busy on the weekends since it's only been opened for about 3 months. The host suggested coming on a weekday. Which I'll most likely do from now on! (Even tho I don't live in Fort Wayne anymore lol). I think I would give this place another try again. I love seafood! read more

Storming Crab - Seafood Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

We went here to celebrate my birthday. I wanted to do something different and this seemed like a great new place to try especially given my love for seafood. The atmosphere is very casual and family friendly. This isn't our usual date night type atmosphere but I actually enjoyed it. They currently don't have their liquor license so it was beer only but I was fine with that (my husband would've preferred a mixed drink however). We got the hush puppies and fried gator for our appetizer. The hush puppies weren't anything special. The gator however was decent. My husband loved them. I thought they came with an odd aftertaste at times but they were still decent. Cajun fries that come with were ok as well. For our boil, we got the combo #5 but substituted some things out so ended up with king crab, shrimp, and clams. We got the cajun spices and super hot for the heat. The boil was delicious! The portions are insane. My husband and I split the combo and we still had tons leftover. The experience of eating with a bib and gloves is pretty fun, unique...and totally necessary. Don't come here unless you're ready to perhaps get a little messy! (Probably not 1st date approved haha). The only lackluster part of the experience was our service. We got there early at 4:50pm and our service was still slow. Despite my husband telling our server it was my birthday, nothing special was done (which he told us there would be?). My husband had to flag our server down for refills on multiple occasions. It could definitely have been better. Our server seemed a bit short with us as well. Overall it was good. Even though some of the food is average, the main dish (the boils) are delicious and the whole experience is unique which sets it apart from your usual fort wayne dining experience. I just hope they can work on the service aspect but perhaps that will come with time (they've only been open a few weeks). read more

I'm not picky when it comes to seafood whatsoever. So when I heard the news that Fort Wayne was going to get it's own cajun seafood restaurant, I was ecstatic. When i arrived, I had a party of ten and was noted that it would be a half hour wait, only to be sat down only five minutes later. The waitresses we're kind as they give us a brief overview of the menu and the items. They then proceeded to give us this complimentary seafood cheesy garlic bread! And that stuff was heavenly! Moving on, we ordered roughly 8-10 lbs of seafood with a ton of variety including crab, crawfish, shrimp, you name it! The flavor options were phenomenal! I personally recommend the cajun and garlic butter! Overall our experience was great as well as the waitresses! I'll probably be back here this week! read more
