It had been some time since my last seafood boil and I was in the hunt for one. Thanks to my Yelpies, I ended up at the Fatty Crab. Overall experience was good but here are some pointers. The all you can eat on Tuesdays: Only shrimp, crawfish, mussels and clams. Nothing else. If you want potatoes, eggs, sausage or corn::: is all extra. You can add lobster or crab for an additional fee as well. Other offers they have: Free snow crab all day Wednesdays AYCE brunch 12-4 pm Sundays Cool laid back ambience and overall good experience... but the $25 ayce is misleading. The bill for 2 was $110 with tip.
We're back at The Fatty Crab for their Endless Cajun Tuesdays -- all-you-can-eat for $25, and this time the portions felt just right! We started with several appetizers: Cajun Fried Chicken Wings, Fried Calamari, Cajun Catfish, and Cajun Crispy Shrimps (we ordered the shrimp twice because they were that good). Everything came out hot, crispy, and full of flavor. For the main course, we ordered the Seafood Cajun Boil with shrimp, mussels, and clams. We tried three different sauces: Original Garlic Butter Sauce Rustic Cajun Sauce Dynamite Sauce All three sauces were delicious and packed with flavor, making the seafood even better. The service was above and beyond. The manager and staff were very nice, attentive, and friendly, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.
I ordered lunch for pick up and I honestly think they forgot to make my order. I put in the pick up time as 12:16pm and I waited almost 20 mins. It was not crowded so I think that wait time for a pick up is excessive. That aside...I would come here again, maybe sit down and eat inside. I'll update this review if I do that. The lunch specials are very reasonable. I ordered the $9 Cajun Pasta and it is really really good You can add a house made flavored lemonade for $4 (usually $6.50)...I had the watermelon lemonade. Pretty good. FYI...This lunch special is take out only. Being that it was my lunch hour, that 29 min wait really killed a lot of my time. But again, I think it was an oversight and that pasta was so good I'm willing to give it another go.
I've seen advertisements for Fatty Crab and its seemingly omnipresence's on Social Media and was excited about trying this Cajun/Creole place. Will it remind me of home......insert thinking emoji. The place is a nice size and they have definitely taken lessons from those popular joints in my neck of the woods. I met some friends here after work with a couple of their little ones. It was one of the ladies birthday (not actual birthday but she celebrates the entire month) The menu is expansive and there are some items you don't expect to find here in South Florida like Frog Legs and Corn Ribs. Surprising indeed. The offerings are everything from standard seafood boils, soups, Beignets to pasta and rice dishes. We ordered a variety of items for the table and Chicken Fingers for one of the kids Fried Shrimp and myself, mi amiga and one of the other kid ordered Boils we all ordered different Boils, Snow Crabs, Mussels/Crawfish, Mussels/Shrimp. We all got the combination spicy sauce, even the little one. My mussels and crawfish were good the sauce was pretty decent. I tasted something from all the Seafood Boils and the seafood was cooked perfectly. The Frog Legs were also cooked and seasoned perfectly. The Corn was good as well. The service was good even though our waiter was training, he did a good job. The manager came over a couple of times and participated in our shenanigans. A great time was had by all even the little ones enjoyed themselves.
Amazing Seafood Boil!! We came on a Tuesday so they had the AYCE option for $25. We ordered the: -fried calamari -fried catfish -seafood boil: shrimp, clam, crawfish in dynamite sauce. The sauce is SO SO GOOOODD. Our server Anita was so quick and super nice. I will definitely come back when we are in the area again. It is a family owned restaurant. One of the members came by all the tables and thanked us for dining and choosing them. I loved this!!
We ordered the 1lb shrimp boil and omg.... this is one of the best seafood boils I've ever had! The sauce was soooo delish. they weren't stingy at all with the portions. I am absolutely obsessed, we got a buy one get one from uber eats but they gained a new customer regardless of the $$!! This will be my new spot
Went for the Sunday AYCE brunch deal, and it was very delicious! There was great r&b throwback music playing, which I thoroughly enjoyed The food was top-notch, I ate as much snow crabs as I could physically eat. The dynamite sauce is always my go-to. Service was great even considering the busy volume during the day, always making sure our orders were entered and food came with reasonable wait times. Highly recommend coming here for brunch!
All you can eat for $39.99! I'm not a seafood person, but the other 14 people I was with definitely were. Luckily for me, they offer plenty of other dishes and sides that aren't seafood. FYI-- To do the all you can eat deal, everyone at your table has to participate. You can only order three dishes at a time, so for my first round, I went with the chicken tenders (3 pieces), corn ribs (4 pieces), and chicken pesto pasta. The portions were on the smaller side, which I actually appreciated--it made it easier to try more things. Overall, the food was pretty decent, but I know the real stars of the show were the seafood boils! The vibe here is high-energy and loud (they had a DJ), and the service was great. They also have a drink special: 2 drinks for $22.
12/30/2025 7pm. Worse experience ever. I'm not sure how to even begin this review. 30 min wait was no big deal. It was cold so we returned our car to wait. I looked at the front outdoor trash can overflowing with so much trash and the spilt drink inside at the host counter as "maybe they're just short staffed." we sit down at our table and I tell the waitress it's our first time. She looked so annoyed at me as she tried to explain how the menu worked. But so no big deal. Food took forever to come to the table. I'm talking apps took 35 min. Drinks took about the same. I ordered the $25 drink and I had a total of 2 because the wait was just too long! Calamari was complete trash. Fried shrimp was 10/10. Although I asked for some cocktail and was brought 1 that was 1/4 way full and all horseradish. I asked for more not it never arrived. Mac & Cheese was decent with 2 whole shrimp it was decent. Now.... I can toss back a metric ton of crab. Soon after the first seafood boil arrived my face started to tingle. I'm a nurse and I told my husband to go get my EPI pen (I'm allergic to bees). I had already ordered another (2nd) round of snow crab. By the time it arrived my face was so tingly I didn't want to eat or drink anything else. I went to the car. The only things I had different from my family was the drink and clams. The reaction I had was most likely caused from spoiled or properly handled seafood. I'm now at CVS purchasing some Benedryl. There is no kids menu. So you have no option for the kiddos. I will never ever return. Service was slow and rude.
Staff were friendly. Food was okay. Gumbo was bland and missing the authentic gumbo flavor. The fried shrimp were tasty. Drinks on point.
Absolutely one of the best restaurants in Doral and the Cajun cuisine is definitely tops. The flavors are authentic and delicious, and the portions are generous. The dining area is clean, well organized, and wonderfully decorated. The ambiance is lively with great music selection. The cocktails are creative and mixed perfectly. The best part is the staff and the service. Everyone is friendly and happy. Miki, who took care of us was simply amazing. She made great suggestions and was always available to make sure we had a great experience. I highly recommend the Fatty Crab for a great time and a truly wonderful meal.
Came here to celebrate one of my friends birthday and the food was pretty amazing. The lobster Mac and cheese is fire with the garlic toast it was a nice touch. The gumbo soup was pretty good and very tasty and spices were perfect. A great way to start your meal. The crabs and mussels were awesome and the dipping sauces were super fire. The waiter was good and very attentive. He got the stuff of what we need right away. The environment was great and cozy.
My family loves a crab boil, today we decided to venture to Doral to try this location that has been popping up on my husband's instagram. We walked in and were greeted by some music. We weren't expecting this party brunch but since we drove out we figured we would try it. The music was pretty loud but they had some good tunes. We ordered a crab boil package and some garlic mussels for my kid. Food came out pretty quick. I liked that their boil came with 3 snow crab clusters vs the 2 I normally see places gives. We enjoyed the boil, I think we prefer the seasoning at the place by our house just a little more. Even with it being a busy brunch the staff was attentive and I was asked by multiple people if anything was needed. If looking for a place to enjoy music and some food- stop in!

The manager, Richard, and our waitress Jessica were amazing. We felt welcomed and they both went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our food. I ordered the étouffée but didn't want crawfish (shrimp only) and they made it happen. The food was so bomb we hardly stopped to chat or breathe. My husband got a build-your-own boil and I had the étouffée. We shared the calamari with the Fatty Crab sauce. It was a fun atmosphere with good music. We'll definitely be coming back whenever we're in Miami next. read more

We were driving through Doral and decided to give The fatty crab a chance ! Luckily they had an "All you can eat special" I would recommend to come on an empty stomach .I would recommend asking the server if you can add corn and potatoes included with the boil as it would have been way more worth it to know. Crab and craw fish were great the shrimp was okay. read more

This was a request from our daughter and since we've been to New Orleans many times didn't think much of it. Well, let me tell you we were pleasantly surprised how good the food was. You get plenty to eat and if you go on Wednesdays you get a free order of Snow crab. This is a major YES! read more

This is an honest review. It's not worth the $39 plus service charge and taxes. The food is awful, and it's not even buffet-style--it's more of an order-as-you-eat setup. The lobster costs extra at $79. Honestly, you're better off going to Harvest Buffet, which is far better than this place. This restaurant feels like a scam. read more

The Fatty Crab The food at The Fatty Crab was great! Tasty - FAVORFUL! The team were very nice, atmosphere was great and I believe the butter sauce can go on anything ! My order: 2LB Snow Crab Legs & Cajun Fried Chicken Wings The atmosphere: Friendly, inviting and the staff were great. My Review: The food was great. It was the butter sauce for me and the crabs were SOO GOOD and clean! The wings were ok. This place is must try! Make sure you ask for some of the butter sauce to go.. Enjoy and thank me later! Overall Score: 9/10 read more

I personally didn't like this place it really lacked in flavor but I guess because of the price. I was invited here the person thought it would be different because of what was shown on instagram but the marketing team of definitely doing a good job at brining people in but then disappointing them. I wouldn't really expect much for the price but in general I wouldn't come back here even for the price. They show a special sauce apparently that you have to ask for even though they show that. Also they brought us the bins and other items after we got our seafood boil. We got our appetizers after and I did like my lychee martini. That was about it. I definitely will not be back. read more
We visited Fatty Crab on a Friday night around 6:30pm. Got seated right away. The decor and ambiance were bright and fun, many instagrammable worthy backdrops, and a nice vibe! Dashle, our waitress, was polite. We ordered the seafood boil, chicken wings, and fried calamari. Everything was delicious, but the calamari? Hands down the best I've ever tasted. It was not over breaded and with nice juicy pieces of calamari rings. We'll definitely be back! Check them out! read more

My Instagram algorithm must love The Fatty Crab, because I kept seeing posts about their Endless Cajun Tuesdays. I was excited that my friend and I finally got to check it out this week...and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! For only $25 per person, we each got to select three appetizers at a time from such options as Cajun fried chicken wings, fried calamari, Cajun crispy shrimp, shrimp mac and cheese, fried shrimp po boy, and more. It also included a seafood boil with a choice of shrimp, crawfish, clams, and mussels. We decided to upgrade and add snow crab legs for an additional $15 steamed with their signature spicy dynamite sauce. The portions were plentiful, including the seafood boil, which was about 2lbs for each of us. We washed it down with their 2 for $22 cocktails. I ordered the Sidepiece, which came with Hennessy, Cointreau, and fresh lemon juice. My friend ordered the Deja Vu, which came with Tito's vodka, coconut cream, passion fruit syrup, lychee puree, and lime juice. Honestly, if it wasn't for the two hour time limit, and the fact we both got so full, we could've been there all day eating seafood, enjoying the drinks and vibing to the music. I removed a star because I found their service to be very slow. We requested hot butter to go with our crab legs. By the time they finally brought it to us, we were about finished with our meal. There is plenty of free parking in this shopping plaza. I'll definitely be back. read more

Came here on a TUESDAY from out of town and this was the first stop I made right after landing!! AYCE seafood boil on a Tuesday for only $25, ADD AYCE CRAB FOR ONLY $15?! YES PLEASE BC I'D BE A FOOL TO MISS THAT! AYCD Hurricanes for only $25 or 2 for $22 Drinks is a deal in my book. Everything was so saucy and fresh! So much so I got a separate TOGO and took it all the way back home to the Bay Area for my kids to eat!!! Finally the ladies/ staff were sooo lovely and great!! When I visit again, I'm definitely stopping by!! read more

Let me start off by saying The Fatty Crab was such a vibe!! We were visiting from Vegas and the Fatty Crab kept coming up on our Tik Tok feeds so we decided to try it out. We could hear the DJ from the parking lot and he had the place jumping! I brunch all the time in Vegas so I was definitely excited to get in and see what the hype was! They have an all you can eat seafood brunch for $39.99 and it was well worth it. They have other things on the menu to choose from besides the boil but the boil was the best thing to me! Crab legs and potatoes were fire! There were a few things that I tried that were mediocre, but the ambiance and service made up for it! I ordered a drink called "Side Piece" and I was tipsy! It was so good! Dash our server was so awesome! She was kind and very attentive to our large group! She handled us excellent! I hope she is promoted and can train others to be like her! The manager (I think his name was Richard) then came over and introduced himself and we had a great conversation. He is a vibe!! I love him! When we left we hugged like we were best friends!! I told him we need to open one of these in Vegas!! I was very satisfied and I will definitely be back!! read more

Took my son here for his birthday since it was his pick, and I have to say--it did not disappoint! I've been to a few crab boil spots, and this one actually ranks pretty high. The seafood was fresh, the seasoning hit just right, and everything we tried was delicious. The atmosphere, though, was a bit chaotic. I think I caught them during brunch, and the music was really loud, which made the vibe a little hectic. It leaned toward the "ghetto fabulous" side, but hey, sometimes that's part of the charm, right? All in all, if you're looking for flavorful seafood and can handle a lively scene, Fatty Crab is a solid choice. My son had a blast, and the food was great. read more
