Ok... so maybe as a Houstonian I have been deprived of good crawfish. I miss eating this year round! But this was legit. We only came here because Asian Cajun didn't have live crawfish. We got XXX garlic cajun butter and it was amazing. It was juicy (bc suck the head) and flavorful. I always bring my own spice to dip in and we kept saying how good it was. We will return... probably sooner than later. We also got some curly fries and those were great too. Happy they have IPAs! Karen was our server and was absolutely amazing. She helped guide us on our spice level and took such great care of us. read more

Great service by Wendy and terrific food. My wife and each had a couple of lobster tails and we both really enjoyed them. The people in the next table had oysters and several entrees and they said that they were all great. It's a fun and energetic atmosphere. If you are looking for quiet and stuffy, might not be for you but my wife and I (typically like quiet dining) completely enjoyed our experience! Big seafood selection. read more

Loved dining here for a girls dinner haha We ordered snow and king crabs and the all in and Cajun sauce! All in sauce is really good and had a nice kick to it - we got the medium and it was siracha level spicy! The fried shrimp here are probably my favorite - I usually don't prefer eating shrimps outside but I really enjoyed them here. Everything was really good and we had such a good time. Highly recommend you try the seafood here in the all in sauce! read more

This is one of the original seafood boil spots here in Denver and I am obsessed with the sauce! We decided to order a pound of shrimp, crawfish, and two pounds of clams and we got the all in with triple X spice. The sauce has stayed the same since I've been coming here as a teenager back in 2012 and it's super garlicky and spicy. The service was great as usual and our server was very attentive. The only downside this time was some of our oysters had a weird smell and I had to stop eating them but I have never had a problem with the oysters here before so maybe it was just this time! We came here for lunch on Saturday and it was pretty empty but it was nice and quiet which we enjoyed. read more

Great food and service. Totally recommend this place for dinner. I really liked the crab.

This is not our first time going to this establishment, but when we went in for dinner today we were seated by our waitress she left and never asked us for our drinks order, she went a sat down with her colleagues and after 5 minutes she came back to get our drinks. We asked to sp with the manager she stated that is how they do things but she never came back with the drink read more

As someone from California missing Boiling Crab this place satisfied the craving enough. I ordered shrimp whole, the shrimp was cooked well. The heat was different to my scale could have been spicier, so if you're a person who likes spicy maybe order a level above than what you normally would. The flavor was good but personally felt like it was missing and sauce. I later realized you can order extra sauce on the side. The service was great, waitress was nice and the food was brought out at a good time. Overall good experience and enough parking. read more

So good . Service was friendly, the place wasn't overly crowded and very family friendly. Nothing fancy about the decor but definitely welcoming . The seafood was fresh and well seasoned . My one complaint is beware if you're ordering spicy because they do NOT play with the spice , AT ALL. I love eating with my hands so I enjoyed every second of it . Best crab boil I have had out here thus far read more

Okay crawfish clams and sausage is amazing. And their Cajun fries are absolute bomb dot com. Nice crawfish place

My husband and I have been to this location at least 7 times...all have been excellent! I give major kudos to Karen and Eric! Karen has been our server at least 5 times, her service can't get any better, Eric was great too. The food is excellent, fresh and prepared to perfection. Our new favorite is mussels, we always get king crab, shrimp, dungeness crab, and all the extras. Great seafood is pricey, but, well worth the splurge occasionally. I highly recommend read more

There was only one server, Tuong, and he was amazing, even with all of the tables he was frequently checking on everyone and made the experience great! The food was out of this world, I got the xtra spicy with shrimp and snow crab and the favor was amazing and the quality of the sea food was also very great! The ambiance of this place was very welcoming and the decor had a lot of fun touches! read more

We got the crawfish table boil, our out of town guest has been to NOLA and said that the flavor and quality were exceptional. Only minor complaint is that after the food was brought to our table, the server never returned to check on us or refill waters etc. We had a great time tho and would def recommend the spot. read more

There were 4 other tables in this small restaurant at 6:30 on a Wednesday night. The server was friendly and we were sat in a booth for our party of 4. The ambiance was casual and clean. The tables had the usual paper tablecloths that you see in a seafood boil restaurant. The napkins were paper from the pull-bin and the plastic ware was just that: plastic ware. They had an array of Pepsi products for $2.99 each (in paper cups) or a hot green tea for $1.99 (also in a paper cup). They were out of the mussels and the scallops. We started with a dozen raw oysters, which must have already been shucked because they came to the table within 30 seconds, served with limes (??), Zesta crackers, horseradish, Tabasco, salt/pepper, and cocktail sauce. There was no odor and they tasted delicious. Next, we ordered the crawfish chowder and seafood gumbo with rice. Lastly, the fried catfish, chicken tenders, sausages, Cajun fries, and curly fries. The soups were insanely (temperature) hot. It took a while before we could take a few bites. There were five pieces of very dry crawfish at the bottom of my chowder, but the flavor of both soups was overall good. The fries were perfect. The fish and the chicken were cooked to perfection while remaining crispy. The sausage was smoky and juicy. Great experience! read more

Overpriced. Sketchy service. Confusing menu. Unattractive space. Surprised at the crowds, what am I missing?

We ordered 2 clusters of snow crab and a cluster of peeled shrimp. The shrimp was delicious! I feel like the crab could have had more meat to it but I don't really know crab that well. Definitely get the calamari! Price wasn't bad at all for everything we ordered. read more

The crawling crab is as close to New Orleans seafood as it gets! Awesome crawfish, and fresh fresh fresh oysters at a great price. Have eaten there many many times and never disappointed! And yes plastic bags and silver wear is how it's traditionally done! Best kept secret in town! read more

Pricey for what you get, service is slow. Ambiance felt like a cafeteria. Food tasted great though.

Always a great choice for some good seafood boil! Staff is great and is always making sure drinks are full.

Great service and juicy fresh crawfish. Also clean restaurant with very clean and well thought out restrooms. Definitely a must-return!

The All-In flavor here is really tasty. Similar establishments have a worse flavor in comparison, but they do sometimes have fresher fish. With crawling crab it's a bit hit or miss on whether the seafood will be fresh or not. Also don't expect high quality service. They are trying to get people in and out quickly read more

The customer service was amazing! They were very sweet always checked in. There was never a time no one was not smiling. the food could've used more seasoning and sauce to me, but everything was good very well. and very well priced !! didnt spend over $40 for a good dinner! read more

The food is amazing. Staff is very friendly. Be ready to spend some money, however you will get your moneys worth.

We did takeout. The young host taking the order was super polite and lovely to first timers who didn't know the drill. (Go up to the table in front. Don't go inside.) Lots of folks (from diverse cultural backgrounds) on Saturday for sure so you may have to park down the side street! Waiting time went fast. Food was delicious and very fairly -priced. Medium seasoned is SUPER well seasoned. Blue crabs were large as was the shrimp. My Maryland-mermaid self will be eating some leftovers tomorrow. read more

The Crawling Crab is a great place for cajun seafood! The seafood is always fresh and the service is always friendly and speedy. To start, I always order a dozen oysters on the half shell, along with chicken wings and cajun fries (of course to share). As for the seafood, I usually opt for shrimp, crawfish, or crab legs. Always add in corn, potatoes, and sausage... they go perfect with the seafood. For the seasoning I recommend "rajun cajun" or the "all-in" if you like that classic cajun flavor. I'm used to spicy food, so the medium level gives just enough of a kick. PRO TIP: ask for gloves! read more

One of my favorite places to get Cajun seafood. I enjoy getting their King crab and shrimp! The Cajun fries are also amazing! We usually get pretty good service, but keep an eye on the fixed tip rates with larger parties as on multiple occasions, more than 18% was added to each tab! Make sure you don't wear a white shirt or pants- you will get messy eating this delicious grub! read more

Came here for my birthday this year because I was craving cajun seafood. Was not disappointed! So much delicious, spicy goodness and a decent price for the amount of food you get. I came starving, and definitely ordered too much food. Especially considering my borderline vegetarian daughter who hates spice wasn't even going near any of it. Fine. More crab for me. We order blue crabs, clams, head-on shrimp, potatoes, corn, and sausage. I would probably swap the corn/potatoes for cajun fries next time. My daughter got some, and they were great. We had to take some home, and the food was still good reheated the next day. Atmosphere was casual and friendly. We had a nice server and our food came out in a timely manner. I laid off the beer to make room for more seafood, but they do serve alcohol. All in all, if you like spicy seafood, you should check this place out! read more

I was on a business trip in this area and we visited a couple of the crab boil places. This place was really good and came with a ton of crab and clams. The thing that I liked the best is that they were able to combine all of their flavors into one bag! I ended up getting 3 claws of snow crab with a pound of clams on the side. I like getting the snow crab since it takes a little bit of work to get out all of the meat! The clams were very tasty but they had a ton of sand and dirt in them. They needed to be cleaned a bit more before coming out to the table. My counterpart ended up getting the king crab and it was huge! We had to buy the corn and sausage on the side even though we ended up buying 4 lbs of seafood - I found that to be a bit odd. Overall this place had excellent flavor and I would definitely visit in the future for sure! read more

I love the simplicity of this place. Went right around 3:30, had no wait. We ordered fried shrimp (so delicious), 1 lb shrimp, 1 lb clams, and added the potatoes. All-in sauce, medium spice. Perfect. The fried shrimp came out first, right out the fryer hot and delicious. Bags of seafood came a few mins later. Save the lemon from the shrimp to rub on your hands after eating; it takes out the smell! Put on your bib, ask for gloves (which are so handy for peeling and eating), and prepare to feast. Dump the goodies onto the butcher-paper table cover so it's all out in its glory. We left sated but not overstuffed. We'd definitely return but wish it weren't so far away from us! read more

This is the 2nd seafood restaurant that I experienced. This place has a nice atmosphere. It not as big as The Juicy Seafood. I was there on a weekday and noticed the place is fully pack. This tells me that it must be good which not really disappointed me. The crawfish was bigger than other places. I like their season & flavor. I would like to come back again to try other items on the menu. read more

Let me start by saying that this restaurant is very unorganized. It took over 30 minutes to order and another hour to get our food. We had a large group so I was trying to be patient but it was simply ridiculous. Many items we ordered were actually never delivered to the table and we had to keep asking for them over and over again. My sister received her garlic bread after dinner. And, what seafood restaurant selling lobster and crab does not have crab crackers and lobster picks when they serve the food. They said they had to wash them if we wanted them. Ughhh really? Let's wait until the crab and lobster is cold before we can get utensils? So frustrating Then, I'm starving and I crack into my lobster and there was no tail? Green, moldy blue cheese looking stuff (tomalley or better stated toxins) poured out into our bag and all over the other items we ordered. I showed the waitress who was terrified and immediately took it away. But, this is the best part, a man comes over identifying himself as a manager. He tries to tell us he can refund the lobster but not the entire bag. I mostly laughed at him and told him to take it away and we were absolutely not eating it . He stood there arguing with us in front of the entire restaurant. Saying over and over that it was totally fine to eat. By the way, at this point I've seen at least 3 people open the bag and look inside and one person actually put their hand in it. Two additional random employees who are now identifying themselves as managers try to convince me that it was totally normal and okay to eat. I was like what is normal about something that is so toxic that it has actually dissolved the lobsters entire tail. I got home and looked up what would cause the tail to dissolve and turn green and found this. The government warned consumers Monday not to eat the soft, green substance found in the body cavity of lobsters, saying it may be contaminated... By The Associated Press (https://www.seattletimes.com/author/the-associated-press/) WASHINGTON -- The government warned consumers Monday not to eat the soft, green substance found in the body cavity of lobsters, saying it may be contaminated with a toxin. It's still OK to eat the white lobster meat found in the claws and tails of the undersea delicacy, but the green stuff that most diners already avoid should definitely be discarded this year, said the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Known also as tomalley, the substance acts as the liver and pancreas of the lobster. A red tide -- or algae bloom -- ranging from Northern New England to Canada this year has contaminated fishing grounds with high levels of toxins that cause paralytic shellfish poisoning. The federal warning follows similar advisories from public-health authorities in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Canada. The warning applies to American lobster, which is also known as Maine lobster but is harvested in Atlantic waters from Canada to South Carolina. Cooking does not eliminate the toxins, the FDA said, but studies have shown that even when high levels are present in the tomalley, lobster meat is usually not affected. Symptoms of paralytic shell fish poisoning usually appear within two hours of exposure. They include tingling and numbness of the mouth, face or neck, muscle weakness, headache and nausea. Anyone who suffers such symptoms should see a doctor, the FDA said. In rare cases, people who consume a large amount of toxin can suffer respiratory failure and death I wish i would have taken a picture but I was so grossed out that I forgot and just wanted it off the table before It ruined everyone else's appetite since it was my nieces birthday dinner. Totally bummed Two very small glasses of wine (2-3ounce) my granddaughters catfish and my husbands two drinks while we waited for everyone else to eat and I walked out with a $75 bill. They charged him $9.99 each for 2 jack and cokes. And, I'm starving! read more

Bad second experience, great first. We ordered two whole lobsters to go, letting them know we were going to eat them at a brewery nearby. The lobsters were not prepared to be able to eat. Whole shrimp still in tact without an option to have the lobster cleaned, or shrimp peeled and prepped. All okay, but when ordering takeout, we were wanting to just be able to eat when we picked up our order. read more

Ok, so I have to be honest, I don't like seafood at all. So although I did "try" some crawfish and crab, my review doesn't exactly reflect the quality of the food first hand. I went with a group of friends, so this is their take on it too. So the location is out of the ordinary. It's in a little strip mall around Federal & Kentucky. The decor is pretty cool. Very nautical with a big shark hanging from the ceiling. I like sharks, so I thought it was pretty cool. Anyway, it's clean and looks pretty new. It didn't have an overwhelming fishy smell, which is awesome! I love that they have a couple of sinks tucked away in the back in the corner so you can wash your hands without getting hot sauce all over the place. They also give you plastic bibs to keep you from getting food all over yourself, which is necessary. They only serve beer and soft drinks, so keep that in mind when you go. The Cajun fries are delish. You can order them in mild, medium, and hot. We went with the medium and they had just the right amount of spice. I also had the chicken strips. They were really crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They had some of the same Cajun seasoning as the fries. I wish they were tossed around in the sauce that the crawfish came in, but you can just dip them in if you don't mind cross contamination. LOL! The potatoes needed salt, but the corn and sausage were good. Again, they didn't come in any sauce, but you can dip them in the excess sauce from the crawfish. The peeps really enjoyed this place. They loved the crawfish and crab. There was some issue with the shrimp, not the taste, just that it was hard to peel. Even though I'm not a seafood fan, I would definitely come back. Cheers! read more

Did take out a few months ago while I was visiting in town. Was pretty on par with most place of this type that I've been to. Good seasoning and decently fresh seafood. Pricing is also on par being a little pricy depending on what you get. The parking lot is big and no issue finding parking. We called ahead and went in to get a buzzer. We did have to wait for a little in our car but when it buzzed our food was ready. This location was a little far for us but worth it to fulfill the craving. During covid this is a fun way to get some seafood and eat with the family. read more
