I honestly love this place it's always my go to for seafood boils! The customer service is amazing our waiter was so sweet and friendly, always making sure our drinks were full and we had everything we needed. We started with their fries you can never go wrong fresh, crispy and perfectly seasoned. Then came the feast peeled shrimp, potatoes, corn, black mussels, and snow crab legs... everything was absolutely delicious. We tore it up! To top it off we had churros with ice cream for dessert which were just as amazing. The vibe of the place is perfect, great lighting, comfortable seating and TVs to catch your favorite sports. It's such a great spot whether you're going out with family, on a date night, or just grabbing drinks with friends. Definitely a place I keep coming back to !!! read more

Came here for restaurant week and it did not quite meet my expectations. First, they required everyone at the table to order the restaurant week menu so we opted to just order from the menu since it was actually more affordable and we weren't that interested in trying their dessert. The seafood gumbo with rice was good, no complaints! The seafood boil was overcooked which made the corn mushy and the shrimp tough. Luckily it didn't affect the crab leg cluster which still tasted great. On the plus side, the location is good and there is ample parking. When we went on a Tuesday night at peak dinner time there was no wait for a table. I am on the fence about whether I would return. read more

The flavors were wonderful and our large party of 10 had a great experience. Our server was super attentive and frequently checked on our drinks. Our food came promptly! The only hiccup was that the shrimp was a bit overcooked making it super tricky to peel off the shell. The oysters were fresh! The sinks and bathrooms were also super clean. It was a busy Friday evening and we'd definitely come back. read more

Inside is one very large room. It could get very loud. We were sorry they do not use or have available Old Bay. Their "Cajun" spice was in some cases too much and in others not enough. We ordered fries with our meal but received them 10-15 minutes earlier than the rest of the food. Shrimp were good size. Our waitress did not seem to want to interact with us which was too bad. It was our first time in and she did not bother to help us with the menu and seemed annoyed when we asked for things we needed. Disappointing. read more

Not sure what the hype is about this place. The food, service, and ambiance were okay. Just okay. First of all, the servers took forever to take our order and that's not even the almost 45 min wait for our food (when the place wasn't even busy at all; we went on a Wednesday night). Second, the ambiance was basically dead. No music. Sometimes awkward silence. Then third the food was literally unimpressive. Basic food. Nothing special about it. Last time coming to this restaurant. read more

Kinda Disappointing... :/ Honestly, this spot didn't live up to the hype. We got 6 pounds of crawfish (4 medium, 2 spicy garlic), and they were super bland. The only flavor that came through was garlic and not in a good way. The sauce didn't do much either. Just felt like a waste of a cheat day. Probably wouldn't come back. Very meh. read more

The Crawling Crab - Seafood Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

This was my first time at this location. I have always gone to the other one on Federal, but I prefer this one because it's a lot bigger and doesn't feel as crammed. Also less likely to have to wait for a table and great for large parties. Service was really good, as well as the food. I normally get the snow crab cluster but this time I ordered both the snow crab and Dungeness crab to compare. I prefer the Dungeness crab ($1 more than the snow crab per cluster) better because the legs are a bit thicker. I also had some shrimp (headless) and clams. The corn was extra sweet, and the sausage was flavorful. I haven't been out to eat at this type of seafood place in a while, so I was shocked at how high the prices are now. We came here for a birthday, and the server brought out complimentary churros with ice cream for the birthday lady. The churros were delicious, and it was a much appreciated gesture. read more

I have eaten at the Lakewood & Denver locations for a few years, and I have never been disappointed in their shrimp, crab legs, corn & sausage in a bag. The original seasoning is delicious and I'm a mild, not hot, seafood lover. The staff is always very attentive and friendly, and we have never had to wait for a table. The restrooms are clean and I have no complaints. My family and I went to the Lakewood location for dinner with a large crowd recently, had reservations for 6 PM, and the restaurant's atmosphere was quiet and not packed. I can't recommend The Crawling Crab enough, it's that great! read more

OmG! They put a wax paper tablecloth down when youre seated, and boy do you use it. Delicious, fast, friendly. Will definitely be back

My family and I are procrastinators so we didn't make any plans for Easter. We found this place just by looking online for restaurants open on Easter, glad we did. Our waitress was very tentative, she kept coming back and making sure we didn't need anything and made sure our drinks were full. As for the food my family is from Texas so crawfish is a big deal down there and the only complaint I have about the crawfish is that I wish they were alittle bigger, that I would have gotten medium instead of mild and ordered more then just a pound. Seasoning was on point for mild in my opinion, so I can image how they would have been for medium. The Crawling Crab was very clean, family friendly. We will be back! read more

The first restaurant I ever stepped food in since COVID hit. It's a familiar setting since we used to come here for the buffet a lot. Needless to say it's a huge establishment and plenty of room for physical distance. I would've liked for their table sizes to be bigger, since the style of food and way of eating call for that, especially with all the delicious mess involved! Our waitress was bubbly and had a nice voice. Give us good recommendations and checked on us frequently - even took our group picture! Everything I tried (shrimp, clams, potatoes, crab legs) were good. Very fresh, saucy, with a hint of smokiness. The food came out HOT and the shrimps were fun to play with especially with the heads on! It's a lot of seafood so plan accordingly and be prepared to be seafood-out! read more

Food was tasty and service was friendly. Wish the piping hot food did not come in a plastic bag (not great for your health). I don't recommend restaurant week. Do the math, it's not a deal. Huge dining space with nice ambiance. read more

The Crawling crab. This place was so fun and extremely clean, people are eager to get back to work, the wait staff were so kind and we're excited that we were there! Peter and Austin you are doing a great job on making people feel welcome.? I love going to places where I meet people that love their jobs. Thank you for making this night at night so great. Peter and Austin were great, Thank you for giving us such a great service and the food was wonderful. The only thing that I was a little bummed out about it is you your Bottle beer price, I had Sapporo a small one and it was five dollars. The last thing. We loved your sauce, the crab, fried oysters were cooked perfectly. Shrimp and Calamar were a bit overcooked. They need to be juicy not so dry and tough! We enjoyed the atmosphere, the people, the food. We WOULD go back. read more

Yeah! This place is an experience. My CPA recommended it to me as a fun place with good crab & he's correct. Went with the all mix spice medium and it was delicious and hot. I thought the price was reasonable. The crab & lobster were fresh. The Sauvignon Blanc wine was good and only $6 a glass. The restaurant is super clean. I'll be back... read more

just paid my tab and had to hop on here to make a review. Ask for Cindy as a server, she was amazing. She's very attentive and caring but let us our enjoy our food at the same time. The food got out fast and very good portions, extra sauce and great atmosphere. read more

Food was "ok". Service was not attentive- I had to ask for anything and flag someone down. Paper plates (if requested ) paper cups and plastic utensils- which is okay at like a bbq place but this is MP shellfish. You'd think they could afford dollar store utensils. Minimal alcohol selections. Melted butter for the crab legs was stale .:. Nice server but won't be back - especially for this price. Red Lobster (ha ha) was a better option. Oh - the building itself is really cool and good for large parties ! read more

I love Cajun seafood places. This restaurant was set to open just as covid rolled in do opening was delayed. I had time today so my girlfriend and I stopped in for a late lunch. The place is clean and bright, shiny new. It has a great sports bar area with several flat screens to watch the games. We were sat quickly and there was only a few other people in the place. Our server was Stephen and was wonderful. Friendly, fast and he knew the menu and the options which was quite pleasant. We took his recommendations on most everything. From order to eating was only about ten minutes and I always appreciate that. Why there there rating then? I found it overly expensive for what we received. The food was wonderful but it's hard to justify 80 dollars to two relatively light eaters. Had we ordered a few drinks and dessert, lunch for two would have been 120 dollars. read more

I've been coming to the other location for a long time. The federal location is a lot smaller and there was always a wait but with this location, it's not as busy. This would be a dope place to gather with a group of friends to watch the playoffs if they have bigger TVs, they do have plenty of TVs but this place is huge and the TVs need to be bigger to enjoy. Because it's so big, they are able to accommodate for bigger parties. Because of the popularity this place has, their prices are a bit higher than other Cajun places. They don't offer combo or half pound options either- which is what I prefer to be able to enjoy a little bit of everything. On their menu the have three different spice level, mild medium and XXX- I am not sure why they skipped the hot. But the XXX is a good punch and not too crazy spicy. I love the all in flavor they have, but I haven't tried the other flavors they offer. I like that it's not as oily as other places. The wings and fries are good appetizers to start off with and to help fill you up. The services is always attentive when I visit at both locations. The last visit, I was disappointed that the crawfish was as big I had from other spots esp since it's in season. read more

I usually don't give places a 5 star review unless it's absolutely amazing, which this place definitely is! The snow crab clusters and scallops are excellent and plentiful for me and wifey! The service is quick and efficient as well. Only negative is that they ran out of gloves but that's not a hang up to decrease the 5 star rating! If you're into crab boils this is your place! The best boil in town in my opinion! Well worth it! Like any other crab boil, you'll need to spend a little money if you really want to get full. So double up on the snow crabs per person possibly with a side of rice and you'll for sure get full! Thee end! read more

Overall it was OK, you do get a lot of food. I got king crab legs and shrimp, I had asked for the shrimp to be just the tails with no outer shell but I received the whole shrimp. I moved here from Virginia, so I have high expectations for seafood. They do have sinks off to the side which is nice, because it can get really really messy! read more

Scallops were 26 dollars a pound and overcooked had a rubber texture, also medium spice is not spicy at all. Other than that everything was perfect. Good quick service, delicious fresh crawfish and all the crab was great. The all in sauce even tho it wasn't as spicy as I thought it was going to be was absolutely delicious read more

The food had no flavor at all. It tastes like they made my seafood in tomato sauce. Small portions and you would think it's safe to eat the corn on the cob but no it was hella soft and didn't taste like anything. I would never come back nor recommend to anyone. I would rather go to McDonald's. read more

The Crawling Crab - Great food. No leftovers. Perfectly prepared seafood. - Seafood Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

Decent pricing for the quantity and quality. Pretty delicious but pretty spicy lol. Andy was a huge help

It was my first time here upon hearing great reviews! I ordered a pound of shrimp and a pound of clams with the all in one sauce on medium heat with some gumbo! I thought the portions were huge which is amazing and I liked how both seafoods were separated into their own bags! For the sauce I liked it and thought the heat was perfect but I did feel that both of the seafoods had slightly different sauces, the one with the clams tasted slightly more bitter than the one with shrimp, but was still super tasty! The shrimp consistency was a bit off as well with some being slightly soggy and some being tender which could be due to how long it was cooked for. I do think the clams were perfectly cooked though. The gumbo was also super delicious and I really enjoyed the rice in it because it soaked up the soup base! I would definitely be back and potentially trying new sauces! read more

$700 for a group of 12 adults and 2 kids + a couple alcoholic drinks. So ... about $60 per person for a large group. My 4th crab boil venue to visit and hands down THE best so far! Kind of pricey but FRESH and more elaborate menu than most. LOTS of space in venue. Crawfish were huge, crab was fresh, and mussels delicious. And OMG the fries and chicken wings are awesome tooooo if you don't like seafood. We were in heaven. No full bar (wine/beer only) but still great for large groups (we had 14 ppl), and service was just a liiitle slow, but so great that it was forgivable. read more

This was a fun and delicious experience. It was a great place to enjoy a meal with family including younger kids.

Grabbed take out a few days ago from the new location. I've never eaten inside either location so this review is just based on take during Covid era. We called ahead and places our order. They asked how long we would be and told them 20 minutes. It was further that we thought to it actually look us closer to 35. When we arrived the take out was at the bar. We still had to wait. They gave us a buzzer and told us the wait in the car. Everyone was in masks and all the dine in patrons were spread out well. They also had the game on so plus if you need somewhere to catch a football game or two. There didn't seem to be any additional sanitization at the take out area. The guy in front of me used a pen and the employee didn't clean it or provide a new pen. Small things right now make all the difference. Usually you see a clean and dirty pen area in most business. The food was good. Nothing amazing. Pretty standard bag boil. The shrimp was decently fresh but nothing to write home about. This place would satisfy a craving for bag boil experience but nothing super stand out. read more

I picked up crawfish to go this Sunday and was very disappointed when I got home and opened my food. First, after weighing the crawfish I was given, I was not even given the full 4 lbs I ordered. The crawfish were difficult to peel due to being extremely mushy and overcooked. Most of the crawfish shells were cracked already. Extremely disappointing. read more

One of the best boiling bags I've had and the price isn't too bad . Excellent service as always

Megh. The food tasted like it was pre-cooked and then tossed in the sauce we picked and was dry. Even the corn. The corn is one of my favorite parts and it was just mush. Our waitress was incredibly nice though. I would pick yabby hut over this crawling crab. read more

We stopped in for some takeout right before closing. Service was excellent! Because we were doing takeout, we just had some simple fried dishes. They were all pretty good, but I don't think I would get the shrimp or chicken wings again. The shrimp were very overcooked. The chicken wings were just wings in a fryer. No marinade, flavoring or batter. There was a sprinkle of some red chili or paprika, but they were unappealing and flavorless. 3 stars for food, five for service. read more

Nice place with good ambiance, but not overly formal and friendly service. We stopped by the other day but decided we were not in the mood for a boil and got the TCCs platter instead with a couple of beers. It's a really good choice and the catfish was particularly good. This and a couple beers is a great reason to stop by even if you are not in the mood for a boil. read more
