    Soft shell crab basket

    Everything was amazing!!! Got it on New Year's Eve this year. Pick it up, still hot when we got home. 35 min drive. Quick service for pick-up

    First time ever to a seafood boil and it was very tasty! We had a larger party and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We got 3 boils and 1 order of fried shrimp. The boils were very good but the fried shrimp weren't the best. I know it's a seafood place known for the boils but should be well rounded in all aspects! Ordered a couple drinks and they were very good. The restaurant itself was very clean given the fact that it can be messy eating. The decor is very cute and fitting for the tangy crab! Overall, was a great experience and will be back!

    Kings special!

    Cindy was great and timely! We had never been and it was a great experience. It was delicious and the crab rangoons were FAB!

    It was very flavorful and the portions with the prices were reasonable! Very clean, and the waitress was very kind to us. When we went it was not as busy but the place looked very beautiful and it was very chill.

    First time here at The Tangy Crab. Awesome decor! Pirates, seashells, fish, and crabs! Really reminds you of the ocean. The service was awesome. We were greeted and seated right away. And the food came fast. I ordered a seafood boil with shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes! Totally recommend it! Next time I will have to order the crab boil. It was hard to decide but shrimp won. Next time Crab is on. They have other options like chicken, French fries and more. Incase you're not feelin' the seafood. They have lots of options for drinks as well.

    Shrimp, scallops and clam combo was fantastic.

    I love their crab salad and crab Rangoon. I found their lobster bisque a bit salty, but my friend loved it.

    I was excited when I heard about this place a month or so, since Michigan is a seafood wasteland,…read morebut at the time they weren't offering delivery to my neighborhood which is only 5 mins away from them but hey. I saw through my DoorDash subsriction that they now have expanded delivery so placed an order for the Combo A (snow crab, shrinp, sausage) and the fried calamari. The calamari came with a sweet dipping sauce like you'd get with crab rangoon at an asian restaurant. Not impressed, but fortunately had some aioli handy. Much prefer the tempura calamari by Sushi Ya or Sansu, or Ruckus Ramen or Bravo. The Combo had the King Crab seasoning which was very good. But the crab legs was a total disappointment, offering maybe 2 oz of crab out of what was supposed to be a half pound. Skinny legs with no meat in them. Also seemed to be short on the half pound of shrimp. These looked to be about the 16/20 size which means there should have been 8 shrimp in the order. I counted 5. Finally there was way too much sausage relative to all the other stuff. I'd like to give these guys a shot so I'll probably order again but not repeat this order. One idea is to order a small boiled order with the seasoning, but get the crab legs at Meijer! Btw, you'll need to have seafood tools to get all the crab meat out (scissors, pliers, crab/lobster picks) . Very messy too! One thing I'd like to see from these guys is a raw oyster bar!

    Ordered snow crab, shrimp and lobster. Unfortunately the nothing tasted fresh. The lobster tails…read morewere soft and mushy. Tasted as if it was reheated and not freshly steamed. Same for the snow crab. When you break the crab legs the meat is stuck to the shell instead of sliding out of the shell. For the price they charge they should not reheat previously steamed seafood.

    What a great find! I was traveling for work in E Lansing, and have a rule of visiting Small Town…read moreUSA, mom & pop type of places for dinner when I can. I chose River House Grill this trip since it was a beautiful night, and on the water. While getting off the interstate and heading in to town, I noticed this eerie presence, nothing was open, signs were dark, stop lights not working... I got to River House and a few regulars were still milling around the bar, I was told they were closed due to a power outage throughout the entire city. After some conversation, they said if I had cash, I could still buy a beer (always carry cash!). The regulars moved on, and I was finishing my drink when the power comes back on! The owner Mike had already sent most of his staff home, as the estimated power restoration was well beyond their normal operating hours, but he said he would turn the fryers back on, and start the pizza oven since I was there. I told him he didn't have to and I would head back to East Lansing, but he insisted, at this point I was the only one in the place! Ordered a pizza, and boy was it delish! By the time my pizza had arrived, a few others had managed to come in and fill up the place! Thanks to Mike, Jen (bartender) and the staff who stayed! I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu, and see the renovations next time I'm in the area! Cheers!
