i visited on a thurs. night.. the place looked very clean and new. i liked the vibe you get with the nadical atmosphere you see in most seafood boil places. love the huge bar in the center with the huge projector to make it fun to watch sports or something. :::FOOD::: we ordered the *steam oysters* in cajun medium sauce. pretty spicy! i liked it thought. the quality of the oysters are better than at the duluth location. crawfish = frozen... green mussels = large and meaty. i loved them! dungeness = must order veryyyyy meaty and large portion!! shrimp (head on)= i love to suck the head jucies, so thats a must for me. large portion and large sized shrimp too seasonings = i dont care for the juciy special anymore. just wayy too salty. i always go for a combo of cajun + garlic butter! and the spice level you can handle. doesnt hurt to sweat a little while going in on your seafood boil. no pain no gain! the Manager Carri stopped by, and i must say, she was absolutely wonderful. she made sure we were being taken care of and even went above and beyond to make sure we were having a unforgettable experience. Hats off to her! read more

The Juicy Crab Buford - Seafood Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Service started off very slow, unfortunately. We sat at table 141 which I'm assuming it's part of the bar. Miss Lyric took a while to come get our drinks order which is fine & understandable; another young lady was kind enough to grab our drinks for her but what isn't fine is not even acknowledging us even though the hostess told her we were about to get seated there. Once she came over the table, she slammed the buckets. Because she already had a bad attitude, she didn't hear us order French fries with out appetizers, which we did because after we put in our full order, we had a child with us and emphasized how we didn't want anything for the child bc she'd be eating off those fries so we absolutely did order those fries. Anyway, once we got our appetizer (wings) i asked if the fries were coming out and she rudely said NO MAAM, YOU DID NOT ORDER THEM. Okay, no problem but what's the need to do all that when you can just suggest to put the order in kindly? I'd have apologized myself and ordered some fries but Instead we said nvm and she walked away without saying anything else nor suggesting a solution. We all have bad days but that ain't none of my concerns nor fault, treat people how you want to be treated. Unfortunately bc a 18% tip charge was already added to our bill, she did not care to treat us in a proper manner. We got rubbed the wrong way and felt very unwelcome that we didn't even feel like ordering refills to give her any other troubles since it seemed like we were lol. The food which is NOT her fault was very bland and mid. Had we had been given a better run down of the menu and or had a server with a better attitude, we wouldn't have had to pay over $300 for 5 adults; she could've easily made things easier and cheaper for us in my opinion. Money is not an issue for us but unfortunately the service made our visit extremely unpleasant and will not be returning to this location. No matter who you are or how bad your day may be going, just be kind and treat people the way you like to be treated. I'm the first person to stand up for good servers bc my sister is 1 (my dad is THE best tipper too) but people like her do not make it easy for me to defend. We did not want to tip her any more than the already charged tip on the bill and we felt so bad but extra tips are earned... Anyway, very poor service overall. Maybe other locations aren't like this but what a disappointment. read more

poor quality. catfish was undersized & very greasy. fries were soggy. shrimps were good with tasty batter. however, none of it was either tasty or palatable as PROPERLY PRESERVED leftovers, which is my primary gauge of quality. read more

We love this place. It helps that I get a SAMC Discount but the food was so yummy. We went for the first time with friends and the service was great, the express wonderful as they explained their menu and details on what they suggested/recommended for the visit. It was our friend's daughter's birthday and it's her favorite place to go. We can't wait to go back. It wasn't overcrowded and we were seated right away. They also had a lady doing face paintings and balloons. read more

Very disgusting! I spent $130 on to go food today from juicy crab and there was hair in my food. Didn't even eat the food! Threw it away in the garbage. I'm never coming back here! That's nasty as heck. I'm very disturbed and want to know why they aren't wearing hairnets when dealing with food. read more

The absolute worst service ever tonight! And it's already hit or miss at best on most days anyway... The to-go team literally got every order wrong for @5 consecutive people - including mine. And they took 20+ minutes to bring me the right order. The wait staff was snippy and they collectively lacked basic problem solving abilities. Wow. read more

It was my first time trying The Juicy Crab at this location. I ordered takeout since it was on the way home and my order was ready super fast. I got the catfish basket for my main with some hush puppies and lemon pepper wings as appetizers. The catfish was NOT it. It wasn't seasoned at all, it just tasted like the ocean. I actually seasoned it and put it in my air fryer for a little bit of pizzazz and dipped it in alotttttt of LHS to make it palatable. The hush puppies were ok, a bit over fried, but the wings tasted fine. If I do go back I'll try their other menu options, but definitely staying away from that catfish. read more

I was excited to try out Juicy Crab. Im kinda picky about seafood cause I grew up in Maine and live pretty inland now. Fun atmosphere, huge bar, super friendly service! My waitress was wonderful. She answered all our questions and was quick to bring out anything we needed. Fast service. My favorite part about this place is.. 2 things! Its a fun interactive eating experience. I loved sharing it with my son. Second, ooohhhh the juice! Different flavors and spice levels. So so delicious. The flavor in everything was excellent. Only eh take away was, everything was slightly over cooked. The shrimp altho yummy, were rubbery and the egg..... oh that egg. It was hard hard boiled. You couldn't even really cut it. BUT again it had the yummy juice on it. Fun place for a family 100% Juicy Crab!.... bottle and sell your juice read more

We visited again & we're happy to see they had a drink menu vs. the written one they had when they first opened; however, I was very sad to see the Bob Marley drink was no longer on the menu. Thankfully the bartender said he could still make it For me. The food was still Amazing and good portion size. Ohtham was a great server despite being busy & short staffed. read more

Awful! Save yourself from FOOD POISON! I have called the local Health Department on this place. Went last Saturday and my whole family ended up sick! Do not eat here. We had oyster's and crab legs, sausage, shrimp, and fried oysters. We are still recovering! read more

Food is ok, but the service is horrible. We had to take out lunch today and ordered two coleslaws and sauces. Well, I got home two medium containers of white plain rice. I called and got voicemail luke 5 times, and then i hit the order option. The young lady answered i explained the problem she said they were out of coleslaw. I said its 1pm! Tell us dont just give us white rice she said come back and we will replace what do you want? I tokd her broccoli and sweet potato fries. She said that cost more! Well, you asked, "You're the one who incorrectly made my order. I'm using gas to come there twice. I said, "No worries, im not going to argue, and have you fix food for me?" I dont eat bag seafood anyway, and it's 3 with different names. A rock throw from each other they probably own all three. i won't eat here again for free. Order clearly says coleslaw. read more

As soon as I walked in I had a bad feeling. It was a Friday or Saturday night, and the place was almost empty. Bad sign. As we were taken to our table I noticed there were many uncleared/unbiased tables and food on the ground. Worse sign. Our waitress was perfectly nice, which is the only reason I gave another star. They didn't have most of the things on the drink menu. We ordered two dozen oysters and they were the ugliest looking unsafe oysters I've ever seen. I'm not usually that picky, but I had one single oyster and out of fear of food poisoning did not eat any more. The nice thing was that they did not charge us for my dozen oysters. But overall bad service and unclean and unsafe food (judging by other reviewers who got food poisoning), so I would not eat here again. read more

Normally the seafood boils are SUPER good and have so much flavor. Tonight my family and I went and it was very bland for some reason, no seasoning it tasted like they didn't even season anything and half my family's was temperature hot and others were warm. The ones that ordered spicy, didn't even feel any type of spice. Maybe it was a one night fluke because normally it's always good but tonight 0 flavor read more

Did you know this restaurant puts an automatic 15% gratuity on your bill? I was going to type a long post but decided not to bother. I think the 15% gratuity says it all. There was only four of us in our party. read more

I used to get juicy crab all the time at the duluth location. I tried getting a takeout at the buford location last night and honestly it was disappointing... the inside looks amazing with a huge screen that takes up the whole wall and it was pretty packed on a sunday night. Parking was almost full. I was glad I called my order as a takeout. I ordered 2 clst of snow crab, 1lb of crawfish, 1lb of black mussels, 1lb of shrimp without heads. Total came out to be a little over $80. Everything was fresh and very meaty. But the seasoning was honestly very salty. I had the juicy special in medium. I used to get juicy special hot... maybe I'll get garlic butter next time instead read more

I ordered hushpuppies and a crab boil with mussels, snow crab, and shrimp. Hush puppies had good flavor. Wasn't a fan of the sauce it was served with (apologies, I forgot the name). I ordered their juicy blend for the boil. Not enough seasoning. Lots of butter but missing flavor. I did request additional Cajun seasoning which helped. I would like to add - the service was great! read more

As always the food was delicious! Even my very picky 12 year old loved his food. Denzel was our waiter and he is by far the best waiter we've ever had at any Juicy Crab! Or most places to be honest. Very detail oriented, polite and on top of it! Phenomenal read more

The service, it's fucking ridiculous. Y'all managed to fuck up my order before terribly stopped coming but thought lemme give it another go at this location still fucked it up.

My husband picked The Juicy Crab to celebrate his birthday with family. We had a party of 18 people and were able to get a reservation on a Friday night. Things couldn't have been better. Service was excellent, drinks were made properly, food was delicious. The seasoning options are great! I loved the crab legs and lobster in the lemon pepper. They even came out to bring my husband dessert and sing "Happy birthday" to him without me having to ask. It was a delicious cheesecake. If I were to list anything negative, it would be that they don't seem to have a kids menu. There is a "create your own" option and that's what we ended up doing for our youngest, so we didn't have any issues. He loves crab legs. He doesn't like potatoes though, and our sweet server said she could just double his corn and leave off the potato. We'll definitely be returning when we want more crab legs and crawfish! read more

My mom and I are big fans of Juicy Crab and so glad they built a location near the Mall of Ga. We have only been inside to eat here twice but we always get to go orders regularly. Our server the weekend I came was Denzel and he was a great server. He carried a great conversation with us and was very attentive. I love this Juicy Crab location more than any others in the metro Atlanta area. It's spacious still new and very clean. read more

The food was great and very affordable considering the portions. My husband and I were impressed it only with the food but the level of service. NAHLA (sp?) was so attentive and really made the whole experience worthwhile. We will definitely be back again. read more

I haven't been here in a few years. I live closer to the Duluth location but I remember that location being packed most of the time I passed by. We were watching a movie at the Mall of Georgia and saw the new location and wanted to try it again. I had two clusters of the Snow Crab with Extra Hot Juicy Special. I am happy I checked this place out again. The flavor is sooo good. I really enjoyed eating the crab and was not happy when the meal was done. Luckily I still had potatoes to sop up the sauce and I finished those pretty quickly. The one thing missing (in my opinion) that I have had at other crab places in Duluth is the ability to add Noodles to the bag. That would have been a welcome addition to my meal here to grab that flavor. But this place has a slightly better flavor to the extra spicy mix that other places I have tried. So if I am in the area again, I will stop by and grab some more crab! read more

My wife and I ate for the first time at the juicy crab. The food was outstanding. The books were very similar to what I got back home in Charleston with a little added kick. We started with the steamed oysters which were really good. Our server Miriam provided outstanding service and was attentive to us while we were there. I was actually surprised since they were pretty busy this evening. This is definitely going into our regular rotation going forward. read more

Food and ambiance was amazing. The service was beyond amazing by Zoyi!! Treated us with that good southern charm & comfort.

Didn't feel like making the drive to my usual spot but was craving cajun seafood and this place was close to home. I decided to give it a try and was disappointed. Our server was sweet and helpful, but the food was not good. The seafood boil was extremely salty - I understand cajun is suppose to be salty but this was over bearing. I couldn't really enjoy it; the sauce lacked a lot of flavor. We got their Juicy Crab special sauce for our boil. Their shrimp was not properly prepped as I noticed some of the pieces were not deveined. The food came out a little bit too cool for my liking. I was only a few bites into it and my food got cold. I was also disappointed that they would open and not have their liquor license. How am I suppose to enjoy seafood with no alcohol? read more

My husband and I went and had total 6.5 lbs of seafood!! Lol The price range is good for people like us who eat a lot. And since there's a lot of work to do with the seafood, our server Lawry got real busy because of us. Gloves, extra order after order.. but he always had a smiley face for us which made our visit more pleasant. Do try the seasoning they sell at the counter.. it's worth it! read more

The fried oyster and catfish baskets were not great. Too much excessive batter made everything taste extra mushy and gummy. I would not recommend, stick to the boiled seafood. The calamari on the other hand was very good. read more

Never fails to meet the taste Had some really large adult beverages. Usually visit Duluth location off pleasant hill. But this was nice.

We came early on a Saturday and did not have to wait for a table. Ordered hushpuppies, a crab/shrimp combo boil, and a 2 cluster crab leg boil. That plus 2 drinks for about $70. I think it is well worth the money compared to other places. Crab legs have not been on sale at the store and they make the house stink for days! These seafood boil places are popping up like wildfire but we keep coming back to the Juicy Crab because their house sauce/juicy sauce or whatever they call it is the best. We rolled out in an hour, stuffed to the max and happy with the service. read more
