Undergoing a name change. Dropped in for a crab boil. Staff seemed a little lost but that could be because of the change happening. The food was good but has the potential to be much better. The restaurant was nice and clean but was a little confusing as it's in the change over. The crawfish/shrimp boil was good but lacked flavor. Nice portions and great flavor on everything else. I definitely try this location again just hope there is a little more flavor. read more

Food comes out VERY quickly and VERY hot. Service is quick as well. Price on the lunch special crab is worth going for itself. read more

Boil was good overall. Nothing overcooked, flavor was solid as well. Our waitress was attentive, and was pleasant. Inside there was only a two top besides my son and I. It personally felt like they were closing or going out of business. Weird vibe for sure. read more

Food was okay. Not impressed and didn't hit the spot of seafood! Very bland food with no flavor.

Came here recently because my family and I were wanting seafood but didn't want to drive far from home. This was my first time here. Dillon was a really great server. Very nice, respectful and mindful. We went on a Tuesday night which can always be a little slow. No biggie. Food came out pretty quick once waiting at the table for 10 mins. They give out free bread which didn't taste that bad. I ordered the Cajun pasta and it was alright, could've been better. Fried catfish had good breading but it was a little too thick. Fries were nice and crispy. The étouffée was pretty good. And their seafood pick 3 was mid. Overall not my cup of tea. read more

Food was mediocre. It was my birthday and I was highly disappointed. The service was fine. The seafood platter that I paid almost $80 for was not worth it all. I would definitely just stick to my regular place aka King Krabz. 0/10 would not recommend. Also if you are a larger group you will be paying a 18% gratuity. read more

We read a lot of mixed reviews about the Storming Crab and finally gave it a try. The place has a fun decor vibe, reminiscent of Joes Crab Shack in the old days. We were seated and greeting immediately. A few minor hiccups..... our server gave us unsweetened tea with almost no ice, when we had ordered sweet. Quickly remedied. We were going to order the seafood bread as part of our appetizer, but our server told us he would bring us some for free. It never happened. Regarding the meal itself.... Everything tasted pretty good, fresh enough (for Texas anyway), although my daughter's Po Boy was kinda sparse on filling. All in all, a positive dining experience and we will probably return. read more

Gumbo was horrible. It had the consistency of thick dark brown gravy and didn't taste remotely like gumbo. Took two spoonfuls and sent it back. The fried shrimp tasted like shrimp tempura which was not what I was expecting from a Cajun place. They could have used more spice. Even the fries were bland. Crab cakes were meh (we've had better from Costco!). and the imitation crab balls that came with the crab cakes got left behind after the first bite. Best thing about the place was the service and the saltine crackers that came with the gumbo. read more

The food is horrible. It was bland, the consistency was weird and awful, would never get this again.

We came here for Saturday dinner and there was no wait for a table. We got the #1 dinner combo, it was enough for 2 people. The seafood bread came first as a free appetizer which was nice. I would definitely come back here if it was a little closer to me, price very reasonable. read more

Decent boil. I won't complain at all. It was a lot of food that came with it. Now service isn't great and the oyster shooters are horrible!!!! I also like that you get cheese bread to start with. I ordered the No. 4 combo that comes with snow crabs, crawfish and shrimp (I believe 1 lb of each). Also did very hot and it was barely any kick to it and mixed all the flavors. Couldn't taste much until the bottom just from the excessive amount of butter. I took the remainder home and after it sat overnight it was really good. I'll go back thought honestly lol. read more

Came in on a Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar for baseball and crawfish. The 8 pounds of crawfish (split between a couple) came out FAST and was incredible! Beer was cold. Sides were soso, and there are no salads on the menu, although a house and Caesar are off menu items. Not happy that the price on the menu didn't match the price per pound. Also the staff seemed a little overwhelmed so refills were slow. The manager could not get our game to play, so we were stuck watching it on the phone. All in all, this seems like a fun place to bring a family- like a mom & pop Joes Crab Shack. read more

Not impressed at all with this place at all. Expensive and the service is bad. As a first impression, will never come here again. Ordered the crab cakes and ended up biting into a piece of a crab claw thinking it was something foreign. Did not get silverware or plates with my appetizer. After this, everything was downhill from here. Best thing about this place is the beer on tap. read more

Holy.. save your money. $30 for a half pound of crab and one potato just wanted a quick lunch. Crab was so gross looking and tasting possibly even old. read more

costumer service for to go was amazing. I don't remember the young ladies name but she was kind and patient. THE SEAFOOD BOIL I had on the other hand was disgusting. I has a seafood boil and the flavor was awful. It looked like it had flavor but there was no flavor. It's a shame to drive all that way, order, bring it home just for it to taste not even subpar. extremely unfortunate. read more

Storming Crab - Unfortunate - Cajun/Creole Near Me - McKinney, Texas

It was difficult to locate the establishment. The business had a sushi sign instead of the business name. The business name was on the windows. Very easy to miss. We were greeted and seated very quickly. The environment was quite and strangely had no smell of food. We were given menus that were very old and dated and a lot of the items were mark off unavailable. The prices were too high for the atmosphere and menu selection. Therefore we left before ordering. read more

Kind of odd experience today. They are transitioning into a seafood/sushi restaurant. We were looking for the Cajun vibe the place seems to portray but the menu is midway between styles and the ambiance is still trying to be crab shack-ish. read more

Went in for a little snack before picking up the kids from school and the food was great! The flavor was really hat I was looking for! And the server was really nice and helped me with my food choice! read more

Blonde Waitress Shouted over the bar at us while we were talking to the hostess as we first came in. Very rude. Don't come here.

Disappointed. Food poisoning beware. Service was poor also. I strongly recommend not going

The food was good not quite what I was expecting. The prices were a little high but overall I had a good experience and the blonde girl at the front was quick to seat us and very polite. read more

The service was terrible. We seen our server once to take our food. Then once at the end to ask how everything was. We asked for sweet tea and was given unsweetened tea. Left all the unsweetened teas on the table till we had asked her to take them away. Ordered eggs and sausage and didn't receive it till the very end after we are almost done eating. Needs better service. The manager did come out and talk with us, he was nice and friendly, but our server still was not attentive or helpful at all. Food was alright. read more

BBQ is not bad but other dishes are not good. service is OK. I tipped the server 20%($27) because it was Lunar new year eve.

Drinks are good, service is great always checking back making sure we were fine. Would recommend. Demolished it looooool read more

Awful!!! My family and I ate at the location in McKinney and got FOOD POISONING from the "Raw Oysters"!!! We had a party of six adult's but only three of us ate the raw oysters- we three were all EXTREMELY SICK...sick...sick and missed work on Monday. We live in separate homes this was the only thing we did together. RAW OYSTERS on a late Saturday night = Food-borne Illness!!! Food poisoning!!! The manager didn't compensate us at all we spent over$700 all he said was I'm sorry and we get people calling saying they get sick all the time!!! Awful customer service and Deadly Raw Oysters!!! DON'T Recommend!!! Also they added tip (fine) but later changed it to a much higher amount "UNAUTHORIZED' Will be calling back! read more

Just another "seafood in a bag" place. Nothings authentic to the Gulf Coast that's served. Onion Rings - Frozen, Fries - Frozen, Shrimp - Frozen, Crawfish - Frozen... and what in the %*% the Cajun Stir Fried Rice? Nasty.. Hard Pass For Us read more

We ate there quite a bit. It's always been consistently good and the service is always quick and friendly. Hubby gets cravings for their sausage and sometimes will order a bunch to go if we are in the area. Highly recommend! read more

We miss out hometown California Kickin Crab & this place definitely exceed our expectations in flavor. We'll be coming back !!

I'm from New Orleans and I'm used to having well seasoned and crispy fried fish, especially during Lent. The Storming Crab did not disappoint me. The catfish is fresh, crispy and they serve a generous portion of food. The cheese bread was a great bonus, as I wasn't sure what it would be like. It was excellent. read more

15.99 a pound for overcooked crawfish. Definitely the most expensive around DFW. Ordered 6 pounds requested half mild and other half spicy. Waiter then makes fun of my guest saying she needs to keep up with her spice and he's going to cook all of them together so it'll be easier for him. We were adamant on having half mild since she can't eat spicy. He brought out the 6 pounds all spicy and overcooked. On top of that decided to charge our card for another table's order on top of ours. Asked if we ordered the catfish and just stared at us like we would be alright accepting the bill for someone else's table. Absolutely ridiculous, overpriced over cooked terrible service. read more

Checked out this restaurant for a change. We eat seafood often. Unfortunately even though it was 2:00 in the afternoon, and we were only 1 of 2 tables on the whole place. We waited over 30 minutes for our food. I ordered a salad and I had to finally ask the hostess for it because I was famished. The food when it finally came was marginal. My husband got clams and he approved. I got catfish and it was thin and overcooked IMO. read more

Horrible food!!! Everything is frozen! We had a group of 14 people. Nothing that was ordered was fresh except the salad and it was not crisp! Prices are ridiculously expensive for bad food. read more
