We love this place so much that we come here at least once a week for boiled crab/shrimp! The servers are like family to us! They give us hugs, and they pretty much know our orders by heart! The food is always hot and fresh! The drinks are good and the service feels like you're at your aunties house! They're so accommodating, like turning the tv to the game you want and sweetening the tea if you didn't think it was sweet enough. They're always go out of their way to make sure you're happy! Highly Recommend!! read more

Service was great. Seafood boil I order...sauce tasted water down. I did notice all the ingredients there but no flavor

This place is exactly like the other seafood place that serves all in a plastic bag steamed with your choice of "heat", ingredients, and bins to boot. Food was decent but we went for my nieces bday and she loved it so that's all that matters. read more

This place gave up! The food is not the same as it was just a year ago. The servers are angry and rude. The prices include Tariffs from 2030 they are so astronomically inflated. It's so expensive for garbage. The shrimp is mush and dirty, the chicken is Costco kids dinosaur nuggets, the fries are horrible. Management is rude and unwilling to work with you. If you eat here you're throwing money away. I've never been to a restaurant that fails that badly and then tells you to F-off. Buyer Beware!!! read more

I have never written a yelp review before and think it's generally corny. But it was that bad If i could give it 0 stars i would. This was probably the worst service I've ever had. I am a server so i get it when things go bad. got my boil order wrong. Didnt fix it and just slapped some of the seasoning it was supposed to be boiled in on top. Took ages to get drinks and never stopped by to check on us. A friend at the table had feathers in his chicken wings and the manager tried to make us think it was normal and fine saying it was "just part of the chicken." HUH? the food tasted awful and was generally wrong or had feathers in it. As a cajun, this was not cajun food this was crap. Ambiance was rough with a birthday song every 2 minutes and it was generally kinda dirty. Under no circumstance would i ever recommend or go to this place. read more

Store closes at 10PM, Got here an hour and 10 minutes before and were told to wait for our table and that we would receive a phone call when it was ready. Waited for 45 mins in our car and decided to call in, the lady answered the phone to tell me that they are only doing to-go and that she couldn't help us because "she is just a cashier" So we go in to see what was the issue with our table so apparently they tried to call us but they showed us the call log I guess they forgot that phone numbers have ten digits because they called the number but left off the last digit. Then get this the so called "just a cashier" was the manager who did absolutely nothing to correct the mistake... will not be going back and don't recommend that anyone else does. read more

For the second time visiting this RESTAURANT the crab legs were not fresh. They should snap INTO., instead they would bend and not break! Oysters were like eating a Rubber balloon. Mussels were rubbery Crab legs were definitely frost bitten! Secondly, we ordered the wrong dish and did not eat it. After speaking with Management, they did not take it off the bill Stick to quality restaurants that care about your business instead of them collecting money! This place is a NO FOR US! read more

The food is absolutely amazing . My girlfriend and I come here over another any other seafood boil place!!! The service is good and the vibe is top tier. I recommend ordering the Combo 4 with crab house Cajun ,and depending on your spice tolerance get hot or super hot. This is our go to order. The wings here are great too. read more

Storming Crab-Madison - Dinner Combo No. 4 , crab house Cajun sauce , heat level -very hot - Seafood Near Me - Madison, Tennessee

Very disappointed in my experience here. I ordered king crab and two lobster tails and the crab was so soft/soggy I couldn't even crack it. There was no meat inside once I did crack it. It was basically like getting the smallest crab on the menu, but I paid the full price for king crab.. the lobster tails barely had any meat either. My meal was so expensive and I'm very disappointed. Even the server said she agreed the crab looks really small when she brought it out, but they still charged me the full price... if you want good seafood, I would not go here. Definitely not worth your money. read more

What a fun time! This place is very enjoyable, big portions, and you will leave feeling full and needing a nap! The food came quickly and you get complimentary seafood bread! read more

I ordered a snow crab boil and there was only one cluster in there it used to be enough for multiple ppl to eat or to have left overs. It's way too overpriced now for what you get. I'd rather get the same amount and pay a little more. I won't be going back. read more

Great lunch. Food and drinks were excellent. Recommend the signature cocktails. Service was on point

We love Laura. Everytime we eat here our meal is perfect and our food is delicious. Love the garlic bread.

It was so worth it! I wasn't aware the restaurant was tucked away in that corner. But I'll be back for sure. I got the pick two, crawfish and snow crab legs, and it was more than enough food. The eggs, corn, and potatoes were plentiful. So much flavor in the seasoning, although not as spicy, the flavor was amazing. read more

I went on a Friday night. We got there and were immediately seated since it wasn't busy. It did get busy as we were waiting though. The food took a long time to come out, about an hour. Service has lots of room for improvement. The boudin balls were good. The hush puppies tasted like any other hush puppies I've ever had. I didn't expect the calamari to be only huge rings. They weren't flavorful and were chewy. I wouldn't recommend the calamari. I got combo #4. It was so much seafood! I only ate half of it. It came with lots of shrimp, two clusters of snow crabs, potatoes, corn, sausage, and I swapped crawfish out for clams. I got my combo in crab house Cajun which I thought was salty but it still had good flavor. The spice level I chose was super hot. It was a bearable and enjoyable heat level, which was perfect for me. The seafood was cooked just right too. It wasn't overcooked or undercooked. Prices are fair. They are about the same as other seafood places in Middle Tennessee. By the way, the combo prices aren't on the menu. I'm actually not sure where the prices were, I just went with it. read more

FYI this place closes at 10 pm on Saturdays and not at 1030 as advertised online. We came at 9:25 pm and could not be seated. Ordered take out while the workers gave us nasty looks. Aside from closing early, workers pouring themselves shots towards the end of the night. Probably wouldn't have been so upset if we hadn't drove from 30 minutes away. read more

Madison always surprises me with its hidden gems and the Storming Crab is another one of them. The Storming Crab's boils are incredible. Nashville has always had a drought of seafood. It is typically incredibly expensive or "breaded and fried." Storming Crab is a welcome alternative. The flavors and seafood the Storming Crab put in their boils take you around the U.S.A. to experience regional backyard seafood picnics. It doesn't get any better. Come with friends and eat messy. Of course there is plenty of beer in bottles or draft to go with your seafood selection. Appetizer, boil and beer left us to roll out the door. read more

Ordered takeout today from Stormin Crab. Had Boudin Balls and King Crab. As soon as I opened the Boudin Balls I could smell the freezer. Most likely freezer burned. Wasn't going to attempt to eat. My girlfriend ordered the King Crab. We purchased King Crab with corn and potatoes. Opened them up and noticed the King Crab meat had shriveled up, another indication of freezer burn. Since we portion all of our home cooked meals I decided to weigh my King Crab to see if I actually had a pound, which we paid $38.99 a pound. I put the King Crab on the scale and it weighed 12 oz. Yikes! I paid for a pound but got 12 oz. Now when I put the corn and potatoes on, guess what? 1 pound. Shady dealings. Note to the consumer, you're getting ripped off on less than quality product. Definitely not returning. read more

The food was really great while we ate there! Came out fresh. Seasoned well. Had a good server. Afterwards my stomach was soo upset, couldn't even make it home. I thought it was just me but my friends texted the next day and asked if we got little ill as well. We all had confirmed that we had some bubbly guts or upset stomach. I'm willing to go back and hope this was like a one time thing cause the food was great but it was definitely unpleasant afterwards. read more

Not bad for being far from the coast. The corn, broccoli and boiled egg were great. The seafood was average. The butter sauce was overwhelming and very heavy. If you've had Cajun style boils you can easily go for a hotter spice level as I didn't find hot to be spicy at all. We had head off shrimp, mussels, sausage and crawfish with the shrimp leading the pack for flavor. We will return and make adjustments to our seafood choices, sauces and spice level and hopefully have some crabs. On the pricey side especially when going beyond crawfish, shrimp or sausage. read more

I am only giving 3 stars because I'm still on the fence about this place.....I have been twice, 1st time was amazing, food was excellent, 2nd time....meh, don't know if it was the food or me, was still good but didn't hit the same. read more

In a nutshell...it was a big disappointment. Everything tasted like it was from frozen. The shrimp, besides tasting like they were frozen, they were also very bland tasting. The cheese sticks (which was a weird side) had a gross tasting freezer burn taste. The crab legs (my sisters meal) were swimming in a butter like oil that she said kinda reminded her of movie theater butter/oil). She said they were ok but nothing to write home about. She did say the raw oysters were amazing though! All in all, I hope it was just an off day for them as I wasn't impressed. When you're charging those kinds of prices you need to turn out a better product. Today, they did not. read more

Good food, we glad been many times, but then we ALL got food poisoning the last time we ate here and they refused to give us our money back. Haven't been back since and don't plan to. read more

We've been coming here since they first opened, and they are just as amazing as the first day I ate there! I absolutely love seafood, and this place just does it right. Their decor is so cute, making you feel right at home with the writing on the wall and their sea-themed setup. Their seafood bread is one of my favorite things, anywhere. I don't know how they do it, but they do it right. Their seafood servings are generous, and as messy as it is it's one of the best things I've ever eaten. The staff is always friendly and very quick with absolutely everything. Don't miss out on this little hole-in-the-wall, it's 100% worth it!! read more

OK, to let you know, I am THAT person that goes to a seafood place and looks for NON-seafood items on the menu. It's just that after Katrina in 2005 seafood does not taste good to me anymore. I don't know what and/or how Katrina impacted the seafood industry but it's long-lasting and I can still taste it. Nestled in a shopping center in the Rivergate part of Goodlettsville is The Storming Crab. They call themselves With that said, I'm only knocking 1-star off because of the lack of alternative food for non-seafood lovers who are accompanying the seafood lovers. They have chicken wings, but that was the only thing we could find(outside of the kids menu) that was non-seafood, they were tasty but small. The seafood portions are very large and the staff friendly. I have seen questions where they are asking if they have unlimited crab legs or any other seafood. They do not currently offer "unlimited" anything, however, the portions offered are large enough that it can seem unlimited. PLUS, and I don't mean to go all motherly in this review but it's happening, I'm obese and it is because of "unlimited". You don't need "unlimited" anything...what they give you is more than enough for a couple of people. No matter your size, you don't need to stuff your stomach until you can barely move. What we ordered: You receive 2 pieces of seafood bread free with your order. You can order a larger size if needed. But these were perfect for an appetizer. It has mayonnaise(beware if you do not like Mayo), shrimp and crab pieces baked into it along with some cheese. This was a very unique blend of flavors though I would not be able to eat more than one piece because it was very greasy/oily. The Calamari Rings($9.99) were okay, they were a little overcooked and tough but had a good flavor. Fried Shrimp Basket($9.99) was good, light and buttery, not chewy or overcooked. The fries were good, they may be "salty" for some but for me they were perfect. Chicken Wings - Buffalo flavored($5.99) were very good. Surprisingly so since this isn't a wing place. I would say they tasted better than any wings I've gotten from Buffalo Wild Wings and that's an actual wing place. Crazy! I just wish there were more of them, they do come in a 12 piece for $9.99, so that may be a future option. FRIED OKRA!!($3.99) The biggest basket of Fried Okra you will ever see in your life. I had okra as a side with my next two meals at home there was so much. ONLY $3.99, you could literally just order that and be fine for a meal. Clam Chowder($5.99) this was okay, not mind blowing or earth shattering really. I was expecting something a little more on this soup, but it tasted fine and was seasoned well. My favorite part was the names all over the walls and seats. If you have a pen or sharpie you can write your name or a cute saying on the posts, walls and seats. I've included pics below of others that have done this, it's cute and gives the place a unique feel. All and all I liked this place even though I'm just not a seafood person anymore. I will be returning and updating this review in the future with the seafood buckets. Although I have issues with seafood, I am optimistic with new/other ways of cooking will make the flavor of toxicity go away. But don't take my word for it, definitely try this place if you are a seafood lover!! read more

This place was awesome!! On a drive through Rivergate, we were reminded of this place. Super cool vibes as soon as you walk in. A bar in the middle of you'd like to indulge . They hostess was extremely nice and welcoming when we entered. Our waitress was super nice! Not sure if she showed us extra TLC because we were 1st timers, but she set the bar! She helped us with our bibs and gloves, after explaining the menu. The food came out fast (combo 4), which included crab legs, crawfish, potatoes, sausage and corn for 48.00 (on this day), in yummy garlic butter Cajun seasoning! She also brought us a tray since we had a hard time eating out of the bag. Plus the bucket for your shells. Last cool thing to note, was that we were able write our name on the wall, seat or anywhere we wanted! read more

Storming Crab-Madison - Shrimp and crawfish boil - Seafood Near Me - Madison, Tennessee

Great food! I absolutely loved the seasoning and flavors! They give complimentary cheese bread, and it was very good! The seafood was cooked just right! When you bite into the seafood, the inside still had flavor, and it wasn't bland so you know it was cooked just right. You know at some places the seasoning is just on the outside and the meat on the inside doesn't have any flavors. This place did it just right, and it wasn't over cooked or undercooked. You pick your boil, and your sauce/spice level, as well. The market price is on the board that day for how much the prices are. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because from the time that we put our order in, it took us 1 hour to get our food. I also felt that my food wasn't hot, just warm. Other than that, everything was perfect. read more

So I rated storming crab a 3 these are the reasons why the prices are good for the boils, I had the cat fish and fries and it was really good but the boils didn't have eggs and that's personally my favorite part, I also ordered the crawfish étouffée it didn't have much flavor and reminded me of a canned soup. read more

Great service, good food! I think it would be better to order yours al a carte, since we ordered a steam pot/boil SPECIAL and they had that in big bag which was not appealing in serving. The seafood was excellent but the veggies were WAY overcooked. I will do this when we go back, since it was terrific other than that bag. read more

We've been here a couple of times before and had the boiled bags of seafood. Yesterday we decided to try the fried baskets. I got oysters. My husband got scallops... except we discovered they weren't really scallops. They were perfectly round and rather tasteless, so he unbreaded one to inspect and it was not a scallop. What kind of restaurant puts scallops on their menu and then sells/serves you an imitation product? It makes me wonder about the rest of the food they serve. read more

STAY AWAY you'll thank me later. Let me save you some money on Pepto-bismol. The crab taste like it came out of a muddy pond on a guy named Cletus's farm. Not to mention it made me and my girlfriend so sick we were able to do number two through a screen door. I wouldn't recommend feeding this to the stray dog down the street let alone eating there. Absolutely the worst tasting sea food I've ever had. You would be better off going to the Cumberland river and catching some fish by the sewer plant than eat here. read more

Waste of time to eat at this place. Customer service sucks with the management. They brought out spicy hot food to us and gave the mild sauce food to another table when mild sauce was originally requested. After requesting to speak with Olaina the manager on duty she was very confrontational and refuse to own up to any mistakes made and did not want to even say sorry about the mistake. When she was told we didn't want the food and just give us a refund she only wanted to argue her point that this was not there fault that our order came out spicy then acted as if she had a problem with giving us back a refund for our food. I'll be for sure to let everyone I know not to eat here with the bad customer service experience that no one should ever receive. Horrible Experience for myself and the party we brought with u!!! I expect so much more from a professional stand poinT. I'll be very surprised if the store manager will even try to reach out to me to make it right. read more

There sign on the door clearly says open until 10pm but don't go there before 8 because they will lock all the doors and lock you out. Completely unacceptable. We have been long time customers but this is terrible customer service. They wouldn't even open the door to speak with us. They said it was because it was the owner's birthday today. Maybe post on your website or answer the phone so people don't drive 30 minutes to a closed restaurant. read more
