    Shrimp, clam, corn, sausage, crab legs
    Rich S.

    The place is not what I was expecting. It was quiet; lots of marker all over the place, maybe too bright for me. The service was fast and attentive. We got the #2 (snow crab legs, shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage). The dish was fun: fun to eat, fun to pitch out, a great experience. It's good, but was pricey. Maybe the prices were normal and it was sticker shock for me. I might come back, it did scratch my Cajun bowl experience nicely.

    Stopped by Storming Crab for lunch and had a great experience all around! They start you off with a few pieces of seafood bread, which is truly rich and delicious. It's buttery, cheesy, and has chunks of crab. We loved it so much that we got a full order to take home. They also have different options for boils at different price points. We opted for the snow crab and shrimp and decided to add black muscles. They also have different sauces, and we really enjoyed the house sauce that's a combination of all the sauces. We were able to share one order between two people with some to take home as well. The price is fair for the amount and quality of seafood you get. The restaurant has an under the sea theme and has a great environment for eating seafood. Unfortunately, the service missed the mark a bit. Our server wasn't super friendly and did not add to the experience. Regardless, we look forward to coming back, especially for the seafood bread!

    King Crab and a pound of shrimp and more!!

    Great food, great time, and great waitress! King Crab was perfect, we loved shrimp and the garlic butter seasoning ... and even the corn was good.

    The seafood bread is so delicious! The seafood boil was very good too! The crab legs were a good size, and plenty of shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn, and eggs. We ordered the #10 combo for $139. It fed 4 adults and some kids. Our server did a great job with our party of 11. It was a family friendly restaurant for sure. All around and choice.

    Very tasting, fun location! Just be careful as the food can get spicy really fast if you are not used to it. I ordered medium heat... but it tasted great!

    raw oysters
    Marie K.

    I went here with my family to celebrate mother's day since my brother recommended the place. We ordered 1/2 dozen raw oysters , 1/2 dozen baked oysters with garlic old bay butter seasoning, lobster boil, and the soft shell crab basket. My mom enjoyed the raw oysters and the baked were really good especially with lemon. The soft shell basket my brother ordered had 2 huge crabs bigger than my palm, and it was really good. Compared to other restaurants in the northwest suburbs the price was really reasonable and it was only about $90 for the whole thing. The lobster we ordered was a whole lobster with the shell and all ( kinda hard to see in the picture), and I wasn't sure how to eat it at first. We asked the waitress and just pried it apart, and the lobster was really tasty. This is my new Rockford favorite place! You should dress casual since the boil seafood can get a little messy even with an apron they give you. (They give you gloves and apron if you order the boil) Also has doordash and other delivery options.

    #4 Cajun with a side of Sam's Special.

    My sister and nieces were in town for the holidays, the night before they flew back home we decided to have one last family dinner. There was 6 of us. My mother, sister, 2 nieces, one of my sons, and myself. Since we all liked Seafood we thought we would try Storming Crab. We went mid-week so it wasn't busy and where greeted promptly. They quickly sat us and our server went over our options as none of us have ever been there. We decided that the 6 of us could get by with a Dinner combo #2 and #4. They list it as feeding 2-3 people, and depending on appetite of the diners, that seems fairly accurate. None of us went home hungry. We also had an order of the seafood bread... which was fantastic. Do recommend getting it if it doesn't come with your meal. For flavoring we chose the Cajun on the #4 and the Old Bay butter on the #2, both were really good, but the table favorite was the Old Bay butter. You have to get the same seasoning per combo. Because of the way they cook/season the combos they can't do different flavors per combo. However they will give you a side of a different one if asked, and I wanted to try to Sam's Special. It had a good flavor, but I didn't think it was all that hot/spicy. Our server was very nice. She even offered to take a group photo of us. We were grateful for that as my selfie skills are seriously lacking... or so the twenty somethings told me. She was very nice and informative, answered our questions and made sure we were taken care of the entire time we were there. The interior is done up with a pier/dock theme with nets, traps, and fake sea creatures strung around the place. It was also heavily written on. Part of their shtick is that they give you markers so you can write your name or draw something on the walls or any surface you can reach. My son and nieces did exactly that... Not really my style so I just watched. Overall our experience was good. The food was decent, it is pricey, but so is seafood in most places. If you get cheap seafood, you're probably going to regret it. The food might not have been the best seafood I've had, but we are in the heart of the Midwest not a coastal town, but for Rockford, it might actually be the best option that you have.

    scallops
    Rob M.

    Storming Crab earned a special spot on my profile. General comments: No issues with the staff. They were pretty efficient and friendly Pros: +Very vast menu. Plenty of options, many of which are done through combinationsof main course and side items. For example a diner could select 2 entree items 2 sides, and a sauce. +I had white clams, sausage and veggies. I enjoyed the muscles, but the sausage wasn't as warm as I wanted it to be. Veggies were good however +Mom had the scallops, and they were up to par. No complaints +Dad had black muscles, which were good, but what really impressed me was his gumbo. I like gumbo a lot and this was one of the best things on the visit. It had a real kick, which is also a plus if you like spice. +Most of their dishes and sauces seem to have a fair amount of spiciness on some level. +Finally I just had to have cajun rice. I was pleased with the dish Cons: -This place is one of the more expensive option one would find. There's nothing economical about it, but that is because fresh seafood is inherently expensive -Speaking of fresh... dishes like this is tough to do. The bigger the party, the more likely an entree may be more cold than it should be. May be safer to do smaller groups -These cons may be tied to the fact the menu is so vast, that price changes will be very frequent and items subject to regular alterations Bottom Line: If service and food consistency is off at all, this place is a 3 star. If service is playing at a higher level, it can be at least a 4 star, hence the rating. Glad its in the area, and I want to give it more tries

    Came here for the first time. Reservations were booked but I sat at the bar. The bar has a "limited…read moremenus" compared to as if you sit in the restaurant. I think honestly that's stupid since they are right next to each other. The filet I ordered was actually very good. Cooked medium as I asked and had a wood fire oak taste to it. The Mac and cheese side was also very good. Not as warm as I would want it but still very good. I ordered the donuts for dessert. They were also very good and had no complaints about the food overall. The service was also great. They have a full bar. The only issue I have was h the e limited menu. Seems really dumb to me. The entertainment by the bar (live performance) was absolutely terrible.

I cannot rave enough about this place. Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food was an absolute 10 out of 10. We started with the fried calamari, and I say this as someone who orders calamari everywhere it's on the menu: this was hands down some of the best calamari I have ever had. That is not a small statement. For our main course, we all ordered the Wagyu steak and I cannot recommend it enough. It cuts like butter and is absolutely divine, worth every penny. If you're a steak person, do not hesitate. For our sides, we shared the mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, truffle fries, and mashed potatoes and every single one was incredible. To finish the night, we had the chocolate layered cake for dessert. I paired mine with a coffee and oh my goodness, best cake. Everything we ate was perfection. The staff was incredible, going above and beyond to make our experience special. The cleanliness of the restaurant and the adjacent restrooms were absolutely immaculate, which speaks volumes about how well this place is run. I love to fine dine, and Council Oak definitely lived up to every expectation. This is the kind of place you will be talking about long after you leave. We will absolutely be back. Highly, highly recommend!

I have been here many times with our family and I can honestly say I've never had a thing I didn't like. The most recent time we came, I had the vegan zoodle dish and it was great! Most places don't have something to fit my super limited dietary needs, but TOC did and it was very tasty. The managing of the restaurant has been the negative part in our experience. For example, we came this past Easter with our extended family (our yearly tradition we usually look forward to), we've had a reservation for weeks, and they weren't ready with our table for 15+ minutes after our reservation time, and especially with our group having two 88 year olds, it's not comfortable or safe to make them wait that long with no table seats. When they did seat us, they gave us 1 waitress for probably 25 people, when in years past they've given us 2-3 servers (and that worked great). The server we had was over and above nice and helpful, so none of it was her fault, it was just the restaurant planning side of things that was a disappointment. Our reservations were at 1, we didn't eat till almost 3. Almost 2 full hours to get our food. Granted, it was a holiday, so I didn't take off more stars for that, but that's never happened to us before and we all left with a metaphorical bad taste in our mouths. So hopefully this was just a bad day they had, and if it was, I'd for sure come back. But if that's the new normal, I don't think I would.
