Future restaurant space opening!
Greg B.

Friday 12/8/23 1:30 pm Customer: "May I have a sushi menu?" Server: "No. We're not serving sushi today." Customer: "But you have a 4 x 8 foot banner out front that says 'All You Can Eat Sushi!'?" Server: "Yes. We're not serving sushi today." Ex-customer: "So I guess I paid for parking and walked two blocks for nothing?" Server: "Yes. We're not serving sushi today." Screw this joint and their attitude! They're having two servers and NO customers should have told me all I needed to know. How much longer until this place joins the list of failed 5 Points South restaurants? $20 bucks says it'll be less than 90 days! Good riddance....

Dungeonus Crab, shrimp, potatoes, corn. Added eggs, coleslaw and hush puppies.

Beautiful place,very very clean. It's all you can eat sushi for $16 at lunch and $25 at dinner. We are at The Crab Barrick at 2 o'clock and they've got everything like the crab place everywhere and you'll just love it. The place is clean, y the service is great and you'll just have to come here at some southside and and try everything that you can. It's like the crab shack or the crab you know where you get the potatoes and the corn and the seafood prices are great and coming to southside something different. I will try to get some pictures and show you how wonderful this is.

bland as hell. not a pound so we paid more than we were supposed to. bad decision.

The service was good. Not great because the girl didn't know anything about the menu and had no comments as pertaining to our food because she never had it. First red flag. She had no suggestions and seemed extremely unenthused about helping us order. It was our first time and we wanted to try and divulge into something assumed was awesome. the quantity they told us was a pound- complete lie. might've been half a pound but that pissed me off most. EVERYTHING WAS HORRIBLE. from the bland seafood to the flat soda- worst seafood restaurant ever. don't go spend you money there. it's a waste. we had two bites of our food, mutually, and were pissed. do not go waste your money. i literally brought my food home to try and add flavor... dumb decision, should've gone in the trash.

1/2 lb shrimp and 1/2 lb snow crab

I've been wanting to try Crab Barrack for a while so when they opened a location near me I knew I had to try it! It was pretty good! I came here with my boyfriend, his brother and his girlfriend this past weekend to watch the Alabama/Tennessee game and it was a ton of fun! We were able to sit at the bar and eat and drink for hours. Demi was the bartender, and he was super nice and attentive to us and all the other patrons. I had a hpnotiq and sprite to drink. It was so delicious. Like a blue gatorade. As for food, Austin and I shared a combo of 1/2 lb of snow crab legs and 1/2 lb of shrimp with mild heat and lemon pepper seasoning. It was super good. I really liked the sausage and potatoes it came with the most probably. I think I will branch out to their fried shrimp and chicken tender basket next time. There were so many tasty options here! They also have lots of drink specials for UAB students so I'm sure we will be back!

Under staffed, poor customer service, and the food isn't that good. Try another location maybe there will be better

Food was good. Facility was clean. Only drawback is that it's fairly small inside so not good for large groups.

They have multiple seating options; the first floor has booths that can accommodate smaller and large groups. The bar area is very inviting and fun to be able to watch your drinks being made and upstairs offers a more private area. When not seated at the bar they do have someone to come around to make sure you have what you need. The servers are very nice and tend to remember you, which is a great feeling. The menu rotates seasonally, which makes it easier to try new things. My favorite menu item so far has been the cheeseball that was on the menu around Christmas time. It had a great flavor served with crackers the only thing is when we came back after the first of the year it wasn't on the menu anymore. On my most recent visit I had the queso which also had great flavor, served with blue corn tortilla chips. When it comes to the drinks I like how on the menu they let you know how strong it is using toucans. Many of the drinks feature rum, but they do still offer some gin and tequila options. Everything I've had has been good and something I would try again. I would like to note that many of the drinks are fruity and can be somewhat sweet. At Christmas time they even had holiday themed drinkware which I felt was a nice touch. If you are not a drinker, they also have options for mocktails. Which has been great for me the last couple of months. I didn't care for the Phony Negroni, but I think Negroni itself might be an acquired taste

Service is great and the drinks are spectacular. Great date night spot or for fun with friends.read more
