Entering the place, it seemed like I was in a 1700s pirate ship's deck, I enjoyed it but it also appeared eerie. The service was great but it's slightly overcharged, food was good though, 7/10. read more

Tasty Crab - Seafood boil - Seafood Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

My daughter had a craving for a seafood boil after traveling, and we were happy to find Tasty Crab just a mile away--perfect timing for happy hour. The service stood out right away: Nick, the host, and our waitress, Bri, were both quick and genuinely comforting. The atmosphere had a great vibe with good music playing in the background. We started with happy hour appetizers--calamari and mozzarella sticks. Unfortunately, neither impressed me. The mozzarella sticks were clearly frozen, and while the calamari looked good, it was too tough to enjoy. For our main dish, we ordered a pound of snow crab legs with added eggs and sausage. My daughter really enjoyed it, and I'd agree the seafood boil was the highlight of our visit. I also had a margarita, which was surprisingly great! If I return, it'll be just for the seafood boil and drinks--the rest didn't quite hit the mark. read more

Good service, food is good but plenty of room for improvements. The interior of the restaurant is kept well.

This is one of my favorite seafood spots!! Drinks (adult beverages) are always on point. Staff is friendly and attentive. read more

Tasty Crab - Seafood Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

If you want a place with rubber shrimp, and somehow too sweet sauce that makes you nauseous, this is the place. To start off, they told my wife that they were out every drink she ordered, literally every drink. Our server was nice, and clearly we know she doesn't make the food, but when we express our concern and you immediately try to cover up for it, you are part of the blame. The sauce tasted like half a bottle of honey was put in it, and it didn't tasted like the seafood it was cooked with the sauce. We barely touched anything in our boil bags, $108 down the drain for gross seafood. Not worth it. read more

Terrible! I promise you I will never be back. We waited a while for someone to come to our table to greet us. The lady comes and we tell her its our first time (the boils on the menu have no prices so we ask how much is everything) we order and she brings out the boil. Heres the issue she NEVER comes back. She doesnt check to see if we like it, or if we need anthing. The restaurant is dead. We are looking around to see if we can get a refill or anything. Someone who was cleaning tables gets us refills. We are done which by the way the seafood was sooo bland. The sauce tasted watery. We tell the random person who got us refills we have a birthday and to get us a dessert. Well it takes 20 minutes to get that. The server goes do you want your check and im like uh we ordered a dessert. Takes her then 30 minutes to get us the check. She said she forgot to get it for us. The place is dead, they have random soaps they are selling when you walk in. Overall such an awful experience. I wish we would have never wasted money to go here. read more

The food from here was really good. My first time trying it from here. The catfish was excellent, and the shrimp were good. The fries were decent. One thing I found really odd though was that the shrimp weren't all the same -- 2 still had tails on, and 2 had tails off. When I took the tails off the two that still had them on, the shrimp weren't de-veined, and full of waste matter. Gross! At $1.25 each, you would come to expect them to be. I don't usually do sauces at places, but since it was my first time trying this place I tried the white sauce that came with the meal - it had almost no flavor to it; completely bland. The other sauce (red) was your standard cocktail sauce they always give with shrimp. The fish was really delicious. The fish was breaded well, seasoned well, and really flaky. I loved it. read more

This place was cozy. I went to try their crab cakes with my family, who wanted to try and never tried them. The food we had was excellent. I have no complaints. The owner or chef I think gave us an extra order of hush puppies because it was going to take them a long time to prepare the crab cakes--they had to make them to order because they had run out of pre-prepared. So, I mean this was great because their hush puppies were DELICIOUS. I mean I'd go back just for the hush puppies. Their crab cakes were great. The service was kinda slow, I had to ask for our drinks a second time. But honestly, they were so nice. If it was busy maybe the servers need more training. I plan to return to try other things on their menu. read more

Had to wait a long time to be served, food was ok, quantity was enough. Half the people we dined with were almost done eating before the rest of us received our food. No extra napkins given, no water refills, no wipes given, table was dirty, no silverware, the waitress was also confused at the end of what food we ordered when we asked for the check. Not a good experience. read more

I ABSOLUTELY do NOT recommend this place ! Our server was TERRIBLE she appeared to be high she was extremely confused ...We ordered 3 shots she brought one and said hold on I have to go get the other ones , but prior to told us what she make only so they didn't really have a bartender.....She then took our shots to another table behind us and then walked to our table to take our order then went back to get the shots talking about I was about to give them free shots ....They had one other server the manager had to work as a server....The drink we wanted to order she said oh we ran out of Hennessy yesterday (umm insane ) She walked away from our table to the one beside us and asked if they needed anything , then to the table behind us ....Then came back to us and asked what we wanted to order by then I said the check she brought the check back we asked if she had gap she said yea Apple Pay so we gave her a card instead....She swiped the card and brought it back in the lil wallet thing and said hold on let me go get ya card but we found it behind the receipt (huh) my first and last time EVER they need to do way better read more

TERRIBLE food & poor service. AVOID THIS PLACE & SAVE YOUR MONEY!!... 1.) When ordering drinks they said they were out of lemonades 2.) When asked for Lemons they said they were out of lemons too, I don't understand how if there was nobody else in the restaurant besides me... 3.) Server barely came to check in on us & we had to ask for utensils & other basic items ourselves. 4.) food is EXTREMELYYYYY SALLTYYYY BUT I MEAN EXTREEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMELLYYYYYY SALTYYYY!!!!!!!! No way I could finish it, I tried all the other seasoning & dips to see if I could at least eat it with that but NOPEEE THEY ARE ALL SALTYY, since they were out of lemon there was no saving the meal. I got heartburn right after. 5.) NOT WORTH THE PRICE. Makes sense why there was no one, the place just isn't good. I'm really not the kind of person to put a review but this place really just left me in shock & I wouldn't wish this same experience on anyone else, please don't spend & waste your money here. Be safe & do your proper research everyone. read more

Best seafood in Woodbridge, VA. I don't like Crafty Crab. Environment is too good. The lady was serving me is very polite. I love the place.

Wow, Beautiful restaurant. Food, service and people everything excellent. 100% recommended for food lovers.

I will never come here again in life! And the audacity of the "manager" trying to say that the BUG that's plain as day wasn't a bug! WTF is it then! I brought the food back and when I opened it and showed him the bug he going to look all surprised and start to bend all down turning his head back and forth in the container like he was examine it. Then when I picked the thing up and pushed it in his damn face he going to say let me take this back to the kitchen. Really!?! WTH for!?! You know it is a damn bug stop acting like you trying to analyze the shit and give me my money back!! So he going to come back and say "the kitchen staff says this isn't a bug because you can pull it"'. And you know what this idiot "manager" did? He starts to pull the bug apart as if that would convince me that it wasn't a "bug"!! Mofo it's been cooking in all the damn juices with all its legs and God knows what else was in there! Yeah it's going to be "squishy" you dummy! I said I don't give a damn what you "think" it's a bug and you better give my money back! So yeah this was completely ridiculous! Waste of my damn time and now I gotta go find something else to eat! 2-3 days I don't see that $47 back in my account I'm going to the BBB on them! Acting like eyes deceived me! Dude bye! Like I wood waste my time to come ALL THE WAY BACK UP THERE! Never again y'all can have that place. I love seafood but for today no damn seafood for me I'm disgusted as hell! read more

Came in and saw the sign wait to be seated. About 90% empty and we waited for nearly 10 min to be seated when there was only 1 table with a couple. Food took forever to be served and when it was, the soup was cold the gumbo did not taste like how gumbo should (makes you wonder if the sausage in it were just hotdogs with 2 pcs of tiny scallops). For the wine I said I didn't want anything sweet and I ended up with their only red that tasted like candy, I poured the rest in the bucket. Oysters and calamari were mostly breading, salty and dried up. Service is okay. Not ever coming back. The food quality is horrible. read more

I'm very frustrated with my recent experiences with Tasty Crab, My first order had to be canceled because they didn't have an item listed on the menu,, which was incredibly inconvenient. I then placed a second order hoping to finally get what I wanted, but unfortunately, the second order was missing a sandwich from this order. It's incredibly disappointing not receive the items you've paid for, especially not once, but twice. I then called the establishment to speak to the manager, and someone pretending to be the manager whom I later caught in a lie finally put the manager on the phone. I will not be ordering from this establishment again due to the mediocre customer service and professionalism. I will never recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

Ask for Aminata she was professional and didn't rush us we came in at 8:15 they closed at 9:00. The food was amazing and they waited for me to finish our food the owner actually came out and talked to us and noticed we were military and gave us military discount. 5 stars amazing food and great customer service will be back! The store was also very nice. The ambiance was great so to speak. read more

If you're a seafood lover, especially a fan of crab, this place is an absolute dream! The all-you-can-eat crab was fresh, flavorful, and served hot--perfectly steamed with just the right amount of seasoning. They kept the crab coming without any long waits, and every batch was just as delicious as the first. What really stood out was the quality. You'd expect quantity to take priority at an all-you-can-eat spot, but here, they really deliver both. The meat was sweet and tender, easy to crack open, and there were plenty of claws and legs to go around. Over all 10/10 highly recommend. read more

I was truly disappointed in this restaurant!! When the restaurant was empty @ peak dinner time I should have known! The calamari appetizer was horrible, muscles horrible, the sauce they used in the boil had a sweet ginger taste that was also nasty! The only thing I truly enjoyed was the crab legs & lobster tail! The bathrooms no soap and toilet handle broken! Warning do not go to this restaurant!!!! read more

Our travels took us to DC this weekend for the Cherry Blossom Festival. Before we left the area, we aimed to get some blue crab. We tried Tasty Crab. Upon arrival we were seated quickly. At first the place is a typical bag boil type of establishment. We decided on the Crab King meal and split it. 2.75 lbs of king, blue crab (we asked for crawfish substitute because they ran out of blue crab), crawfish, snow crab, Dungeness crab, corn cob, and sausages. We decided on the Louisiana seasoning with medium heat. This was the best sauce We have ever had a boil type place!!!!! It bursts with flavor and medium heat was perfect! It created a warmth but not much heat. The crawfish were great but the shells were soft and made them harder to crack. Each crab was absolutely deli and cooked perfectly. The corn fell off the cob. The sausages were insanely favorable. Overall, this place was insanely good! I highly recommend this place. It rivals some of the best places I've had in Alabama and Louisiana! The only knock is service was a little slow and towards the end of the meal the Louisiana sauce started overpowering the food. Try this place out read more

Tasty Crab - Dining area - Seafood Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

I'm updating my initial glowing review because we've had such issues with with Tasty Crab over the past few months. We've been trying to support local businesses by doing takeout orders, but after today's latest mishap in a string of disappointing service missteps, we have placed our last order with Tasty Crab. Today we drove out of our way to grab some takeout after an outdoor hike, only to arrive home and discover that all of our sides were left at the restaurant. Normally I would be better about checking the order before I left, but since it was about half full inside the dining area with unmasked customers--and not even the staff was being good about mask wearing (they were pulling down their masks and eating at the counter before touching the register)--I just wanted to get out of there. During the past few takeout attempts, we have placed our orders, only to be met with an empty host desk, 20+ minute wait times after the orders were supposed to be ready, and inconsistent food temperatures. (I'm guessing parts of the order were ready and sat waiting while they finished the rest.) Additionally, today's experience was not the first time we've seen employees without masks or eating while at the front register. We've also had consistently frustrating issues with their app and online ordering partners. It was really hit or miss as to whether any sort of digital ordering would be working on any given day. We really wanted to support Tasty Crab, especially since we did enjoy the food most of the time. However, after today's unfortunate hour-long drive time to actually get our full order, we have decided we are done being customers at this establishment. read more

Ok, let's start with, I've been craving a seafood boil for about 2 weeks. It's New Year so figured treat myself and Uber Eats a mild garlic butter black mussel special. It's supposed to come with 1/2lb mussel, 1/2lb snow crab legs and 1/2lb shrimp. They forgot the crab legs (which I was most looking forward to) but the most alarming part was I have never in my life had a dry seafood boil! They forgot the garlic butter sauce and this seafood boil showed up as dry as a bone. Quite literally inedible! Before you ask, yes I've ordered on Ubereats before and it arrived perfectly juicy and delicious. I don't know if you all switched mgmt but pls do better! read more

Good food and service. Reasonable price. Not a fancy restaurant, but friendly and casual.

Only one waiter and two tables. Asked for an expensive boiled seafood without the spicy and the waiter just said I am so sorry I will give you butter to dip to take the spice out. Decor with old stuff. read more

I did a pick-up order. My gumbo was amazing. However, the crab dip was a sample size. It was a fourth of the cup literally. It was NOT worth $12 and that was including the over cooked chips. I was not going to post a picture but I could not get over the little portion of crab dip. SMH read more

The fish is not worth the price. You can't get good fish in Northern Virginia. Foreigners know that African Americans love seafood, whiting, shrimp, and crabs. So, they target us. We are the folks you find at Tasty Crab. People, they do their marketing research. Do yours. Go to DC or Bailtimore. If you are a fish connoisseur, don't eat the crap in VA. The fish taste like water, and it is farm raised. It's not from the sea. This is man made fish people. You can taste the difference if yo were born in the 60s and below. My Mom was wise. She only bought her fish from a place in Brooklyn on Belmont St. That was years ago. I don't know if they still sell fresh catch fish. But, It's still there. When I was a child we shopped there. Everyone knows it. They have so many versions popping up, you can't keep up, because we are here, Black people. read more
