Cajun boil

Most juicy & flavorful seafood, service was great and polite. Place super clean but mostly the food was amazing

Special Combo E with shrimp head on extra hot.

My husband and I tried The Crab House on our trip to Colorado and it was amazing! We were visiting from California so the prices were great in comparison lol The service was phenomenal; our server was such a sweet lady and the food was delicious. One thing I would like to point out is we were not big fans of the clam chowder...it was a little too watery for our liking but everything else was very tasty! The places looked clean and very organized.

It's labeled "image for reference only" if you click to zoom in on the menu version.

With a little more attention to detail, the food at The Crab House could easily be five stars, but it just doesn't quite make the grade. We'll keep coming back, though. We'll just be choosy. Some items are great, and the prices are good - especially in this rising-cost economy we all face. The backstory: One of my son's favorite shops has moved near The Crab House in Englewood. We love seafood and Cajun seafood boil. He's brought us two take-out meals so far. Meal 1: My son ordered in person to check out the menu in the restaurant. It matched the online menu, hurrah! Off to a good start. We had the Special Cajun F, a combination seafood boil listed as 1 lb lobster tail, 1/2 snow crab, 1/2 pound shrimp (head off), with 2 corn, 2 potatoes, 2 chicken sausage, and Cajun sauce, medium. Price in early January 2025 was $37. At that price I figured it had to mean "one lobster tail," which turned out to be correct. The lobster tail is listed as 6 ounces and was a good size to share in a. meal with other items. Unfortunately it was overcooked, so the large uncovered end was tough and quite dry. The sauce was definitely appreciated. The bottom half of the tail was firm but more flavorful and not so dry in texture. None of it was tender or tender-firm and moist, which would have been preferred. The lobster tail was just okay. The 1/2 snow crab was good, cooked right with a nice large claw. I wouldn't hesitate at all to order more snow crab. The star of the show was the shrimp. Half a pound totaled nine plump, meaty shrimp done perfectly, with split shells that were easy to remove. The shrimp hooked me. We were shorted a potato, and the one we got was tiny. Sad for two people, but oh well; it was done perfectly and tasted lovely for the two bites we each got. Two sections of corn on the cob, about 1.5 inches each, delicious and sweet. Two thin strips of chicken sausage, okay. The medium Cajun sauce was excellent. This was a good late lunch for two. It wouldn't be quite enough for a two-person dinner without a salad or some other item. Meal 2: We ordered boiled clams in medium garlic butter, a pound of shrimp with medium all-in-one sauce, and a lobster roll with Cajun fries included. The shrimp were excellent once again. Top notch. The medium all-in-one sauce was a little hotter than the medium Cajun sauce. It's probably better to go for the distinct individual sauces, though. The clams weren't pictured on the menu. As I expected, they turned out to be Manila clams, mostly shell and very little meat. At least all the shells were open so we could eat them all. Our order yielded about 16. Not much to each clam, but each was tasty and chewy enough to provide a satisfying experience if not just gulped down. Take your time. We hadn't been sure what to expect with "medium garlic butter." It was a pleasant surprise, loaded with little chunks of minced garlic which made up most of the thick sauce. There was a slight butter taste with medium spice. We ended up loving it. Each boil-bag was supposed to come with 1 corn, 2 potatoes, and a strip of chicken sausage. We lucked out with an extra corn in each bag. (Lack of attention to detail in our favor this time, but consistency or consistent generosity would be better.) The Cajun fries were plentiful and very good. Below is what the lobster roll looks like on the menu ("image for reference only") followed by the actuality. Not even close. With considerable effort and forethought, it was possible to make each mouthful a huge bite of bread with a tiny bit of the lobster salad. The lobster salad was delicious but there was far too little of it, and it seemed like it had been minced. Every bit of lobster was tiny; no chunks at all. Fortunately the bread was warm with a lightly toasty crust, tender, and extremely delicious. If the bread had been less than perfect, the lobster roll would have been a bigger disappointment than it was. We won't be ordering that again. So four stars, and we'll keep trying. I hope the restaurant keeps trying too! I look forward to tasting their crabcakes, Dungeness crab, and fried seafood among other items, and I'll always aim to get some of the boiled shrimp to avoid disappointment.

Super cute interior, DELICIOUS food, fast service! Very kind people here, very much recommend.

Waitress was very nice and quick. The space looks like a quick service but it does have table service. It's clean and comfortable in the booths. Food was delicious for price!

Is this 100% crab?

they have other things on the menu too, but the crab is great

Do they have Tempura Fried Shrimp?

Hi Marina, Great question, The Crab House in Englewood, Colorado does not have Tempura Fried Shrimp… 

Is there alcohol here?

They were in the process of getting their liquor license when I was there. So at that time no, but they may now. You might just want to call to check ahead of time...

I was very skeptical at that point if I was going to really like this place. Next, we got seated quite quickly although there were 5 couples ahead of us. All the staff members I encountered were very friendly, nice and attentive which was a huge plus, especially considering how busy it was that day. We ordered our food and noticed they had very good prices and cheaper than our go-to seafood boil place so that's a win! The food came out hot, our server emptied out the bags for us which was very nice. I ordered the shrimp with head on xxtra hot and It was the perfect spice level for my latina taste buds, absolutely loved it even with just the garlic butter sauce. My husband got snow crab and he was very pleased with how tasty and easy it was to crack them open and get the crab out. If you have leftovers they will pack it up for you which is another plus for me! Lastly, I got a beautiful rose to end the night when we were heading out which was a nice touch! Overall, I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. It was delicious and cooked perfectly! I am excited to try out their other sauces and look forward to it!

Everyone who served us or came to our table was so kind, professional, and accommodating, so absolutely no complaints there. I also loved the atmosphere. We were seated upstairs in a private dining area, which was perfect for our big group. We could all hang out, talk, and be as loud as we wanted without worrying about bothering other people, which made for such a fun dinner! Where things fell a little short was the food. Pretty much everyone's steak came out undercooked. My friend and I ordered a medium steak to split, and even for us, it was a little pinker than the medium we're used to. Other people at the table had the same issue, and one steak was even sent back to be cooked longer but still came out a little underdone. Personally, I wasn't too bothered by it, but I know some people are particular about how they like their steak cooked, so I'd recommend asking for it a little more done than you normally would if you're concerned about that! The lobster tail was decent but didn't blow me away, and my baked potato was just OK. The asparagus was also a little too thick and hard for my liking. Very minor nitpicks, but worth mentioning! I also wasn't a fan of the bacon flavor in the lobster bisque, but that's just personal preference. NOW, THE DESSERT. The fried cheesecake was probably one of the best desserts I've ever had. I was absolutely stuffed by the time it came out, and somehow still managed to eat the entire thing by myself. That should tell you everything you need to know. YOU NEED TO GET THE FRIED CHEESECAKE!! Overall, we had a phenomenal dinner, the atmosphere was great, and the service was even better. The food had a few things that kept it from being a five-star experience for me, but I still really enjoyed it and would recommend it, especially if you're dining with a big group. And seriously, don't leave without ordering the fried cheesecake!

Plus, you don't have to pack your suitcase. I, myself, haven't been back in a while, but I can tell you my wonton soup, the one I always order when I eat here, still taste the same. The broth was deliciously made, and the chopped green onions enhanced the flavor to this broth. The 5-6 wontons, which held the main meats of ground pork and minced shrimp, were perfectly seasoned. With each bite, I want to bite more of the meat and slurp the broth. Be careful though: the broth can be steamed hot. Make sure to check both the broth and the wonton before you put them into your mouth or else the soup will burn you. You've been warned. For my main entrée, I ordered bánh xèo, which is Vietnamese crepe with shrimp and pork. One bite of this, wrapped in fresh lettuce, mint, basil, cucumber, pickled carrot and radish, and your taste buds will explode! You can even taste the coconut in the crepe/batter along with bean sprouts and green onions. Hint: if you ordered this item and do not taste the coconut milk from the crepe, you are not eating an authentic bánh xèo (Vietnamese crepe). I did also have their homemade recipe of the Fizzy strawberry drink. A very refreshing, tangy and tart drink that was simply delicious with pieces of purée strawberry at the bottom of the jar/glass.

Naturally, when we came across Makizushico, we knew we needed to give it a try. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and our server was incredibly kind. I will note that this place was BUSY. There was quite a wait, and we were fortunate enough to snag a seat, so I would definitely keep that in mind when planning a visit. We ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll, Tuna Roll, and Rock N Roll. Spicy Tuna Roll (6/10) - While the flavor was delicious and the presentation was beautiful, it still wasn't quite the spicy tuna roll we've been searching for. I enjoy a spicy tuna roll that really carries some heat alongside the flavor, and this one leaned a bit more toward the subtle side for my preference. Rock N Roll (5/10) - The ingredients were fresh, which I appreciated, but I found myself wanting quite a bit more flavor from this roll. It wasn't necessarily bad, just not something that stood out to me. Tuna Roll (8/10) - A good take on a classic tuna roll. The fish was fresh, and the overall execution was good. Nothing overly complicated, but certainly enjoyable. Overall, the quality of the ingredients was evident, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and service. While we are still on our quest for the perfect spicy tuna roll, I wouldn't mind returning and exploring a few other options.

The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived, and we requested outdoor seating. The hostess was very accommodating, quickly putting two tables together so we could sit outside in the shade on a beautiful Denver evening. The Alaska-inspired menu is fairly limited, but several items sounded appealing, especially the Elk Meatloaf. Our order included: * Bethel Brussels Sprouts ($12) * Elk River Meatloaf ($24) * Seward Caesar with chicken ($15) * Kids Fish & Chips ($9) Let's start with the positives. Service was very good throughout the meal, and our waitress was friendly and accommodating. The Brussels sprouts were a hit with the table -- flavorful and well prepared. The fries served with the fish & chips were hot, crispy. And the dinners were all generously portioned. Unfortunately, the rest of the food ranged from mediocre to disappointing. We were especially looking forward to the elk meatloaf, but both orders arrived extremely dry. The mashed potatoes and gravy were actually quite good, but they couldn't overcome the texture of the meatloaf itself. At least half of each serving was left uneaten. We substituted mixed vegetables for the green beans and found them undercooked, with the carrots still quite hard. The Caesar salad also disappointed, with wilted lettuce, and the fish in the fish & chips was described as bland. The patio itself is pleasant, but it sits directly beside a busy road, so traffic noise can be significant at times. Perhaps we simply ordered the wrong dishes, but given our experience, we were surprised by the restaurant's very high Yelp rating.

I ordered online ahead of time so when I got there all I had to do was simply pick it up. I arrived to it a bit earlier than the promised time so I would take some photos of its exterior and interior. To be frank I didn't even remember what it looked like inside out back then. Upon entering, the lady upfront at the reception greeted me politely. I told her I placed my order online and she wasted no time to go to the kitchen to check on my food. I didn't think it was ready yet so I took a good look at the dining area. While I was taking some photos, she walked back up to me with a bag that contained my food. "Do you need utensils?" is what she kindly asked to which I said no. The time was a bit before 5pm. The restaurant wasn't yet in the peak of the dinner rush period. Service was thus quick/swift. What I got me today were... -Focaccia rolls/knots ($2) -Caprese with a side (4oz) salmon add on (medium rare) ($19.75) -Side pesto cream sauce (large) ($4.50) Once I got home, I started my much anticipated dinner with the three items. I had a bag of Trofie pasta in my pantry so all I needed was some good pesto sauce for it. The sauce was light with a reasonable amount of salt; nice balanced flavor indeed. It's nice that there is an option to buy just the sauce on their online portal. This truly convenienced my ability to cook my own pasta. When eating pasta, good bread is a must. Those garlic knot type looking focaccia rolls (6 pc) were justifiably good accompaniments to the pasta with the pesto sauce. Caprese is also a staple as a starter in the cuisine. The side 4oz salmon was perfectly medium rare. Sorry Colore for being absent from your establishment for over 10 years. It sure was good to experience you again. It was a much needed visit to say the least. Those three items I got from you tonight made my Sunday dinner so special and perfect. Enjoyed it.
