    1 Lb shrimp in garlic butter, little to no seasoning
    Kaley P.

    Third "boil style" restaurant I've been to Indy in the last 3 months! I cant get enough seafood lately. Yummy Crab is in a popular area but a low key location with plenty of parking. I actually frequented this place when it was called Fujiyama. Not sure if it's the same owners though...hmm. Our service was OK, we were greeted and seated right away as we were the only people there. Our server Anauntica wasn't very personable, but she was not rude either! Just very blah. We ordered the Calamari as an appetizer, it came out perfectly fried with a side of cocktail sauce. Despite how perfect it looked the calamari was extremely bland. Like no flavor, whatsoever. My lb of shrimp came out shortly after, and I was just as disappointed as I was with the calamari. The shrimp was juicy, and big, and cooked perfectly. But nothing had any flavor?!?!! It was literally shrimp, potatoes, and corn in garlic and butter sauce. My friend ordered crawfish and shrimp w the Yummy Special and his was the exact same. I was really rooting for Yummy Crab, I live so close and the prices are so reasonable! The food was not nasty or bad, as I stated before- my shrimp were big and juicy. And the amount served in my bag was plenty! I would've easily given this place 4-5 stars if the food were seasoned properly. I will be back to Yummy Crab, just not any time soon.

    Highly disappointed in the taste, quality, and service of this place. I ordered the two item combo, snow crab with headless shrimp, and added smoked sausage. Seasoning choice was Yummy Special which states all of the above; assuming it was Cajun, and garlic butter possibly lemon pepper too. The crab was fine but I felt the shrimp were a bit under cooked..the texture was slightly off putting. The Yummy Special seasoning left a lot to be desired. The garlic butter was a slap in the face..and that's saying a lot because I love garlic. The most disappointing part of the meal was the smoked sausage. The sausage was water logged..mushy mushy mushy. It would've been better if the sausage was seared before putting it in the boil bag. I did take the sausage home and crisped it up in a pan, didn't want to waste the $4 spent on it! I also took the shrimp home to cook them more. Lastly, the service was meh. Our server took our order, brought our food, then the bill, and never returned. We finally got her attention to get to go boxes but she quickly walked away before I could ask her for a refill. We did linger for a bit hoping to get a water or tea to go, that never happened. Side notes: When walking to the restroom there was an odd sour odor..not good. There's a sign that states no lunch specials at all but they provide a menu that lists lunch specials. What's up with that? Confused

    We stopped in this past weekend while waiting to head to my son's basketball tournament. We were first!!! We love seafood and let me tell you it was delicious. If this spot was back home it would be packed! Prices were excellent. They had a 2 item combo for $23. That was a great meal. The seasoning is flavorful and everything was cooked to perfection. Prompt service and a nice environment. We are coming back this weekend so I'll be getting this again.

    Let's acknowledge that the seafood here is by far some of the best seafood. The seafood is fresh and it's good in size. I got 1 lb. snow crab legs, 1/2 lb. of shrimp head off and head on, no corn, only potatoes! Seasoned in the yummy special extra hot. Amazing! Great butter, and awesome fresh garlic. The only caveat I experienced was the portions of the shrimp. There were like 6-8 pieces of each, which I know from other experiences don't amount to 1/2 lb. Thankfully for me, I enjoy the potatoes in my seafood boils and there were plenty of them! So that made up for the lack of shrimp. I will definitely visit The Yummy Crab again! The host was very pleasant too!

    Grate taste, the combo is very good and the place has a Chinese place vibe.. but the food and the service is great.

    I went here for a first date and it was so much fun! We started with an appetizer of raw oysters!…read moreVery good! For my main I got the combo with scallops and shrimp with the head. I'm not sure why, but the shrimp with head is cheaper than headless. And I personally think the head adds flavor when cooked. I got it with the glaring butter and Cajun with medium heat. It was so good! I love a low country boil and this just hit the spot! My date got the combo with the crab legs and crawfish with the same seasoning and heat. We did swap one of each to get to try more. Crawfish and crab legs were also good! It's messy, but you get everything you need. Service was good! I liked our server. She was extremely nice and even helped my dad figure out how to break the crawfish open which was rather funny.

    I'm excited to see this brand expanding. I visited their Beech Grove location and liked it. So I…read morefound an opportunity to visit another thinking it would align with my first visit. Unfortunately-it was not. Service was ok. Food came out fast. At first, I was concerned it was a little too fast, but everything was cooked through. I love to see they offer broccoli on their lunch menu but it isnt included. You get lots of broccoli-for an up charge but mine was overcooked sadly and a bit mushy. I'm going to give a second try. Hoping to have a better experience.

It appears to be the same menu the restaurant has for cooked food. (Obviously they don't have a fresh fish counter like the restaurant does). So if your not buying fresh fish from the restaurant/market site and you want a sandwich or a diner, this location is perfect for Eastsiders. The grille Salmon came with 2 small sides and hush 2 hush puppies for $16.79. They Do NOT use pork in their greens or green beans, YAY! I was told the only side that has pork is the red beans and rice. Everything was packed with flavor. I got the Cajon spice salmon and hubby got the lemon pepper. We didn't need to add any spices or condiments to anything. Perfect grill on the salmon orka fried perfectly. I think it was just under 15 minutes to place my order and pick it up. There is a phone number you can call ahead: 317-389-5378. The said there was an app but I was not able to find it. There is a parking lot so you can wit in you car or there is a table and a bench to wait at if the weather is nice. You can give your phone number and they will text you when your order is done. Very reasonable price for very good food seasoned well.

    Took the family to this Haitian restaurant to celebrate on a Sunday afternoon. The outside has a…read morebig parking lot with plenty of parking. The inside is quite roomy with plenty of room to spread out. We were quickly seated and greated to get our drink orders. A few of us tried the passion fruit juice drink which comes in a rather large glass but was quite good. For an appetizer we ordered a few of the Haitian Pates which were amazing and each one was big enough for 2-4 people to share. For our meals, we ordered the chicken entree, pork entree and the turkey entree. Each entree came with a number of side items on the plate. I was amazed at how much food and how many items we received for the price we paid. The server was very friendly and attentive although we did have to chase her down for the bill which wasn't really a problem. Plan on having cash to tip because once she ran my card, she said she didn't have a way to add tip to the bill or the credit card slip. Maybe you can add it ahead of time, but I didn't think to ask before. Luckily our party had some cash to tip. We really enjoyed all of the food and will definitely be back soon.

    I was looking to try something different and ended up here. I really wanted to like this place…read moremore, but it was tough. You will find this spot in at the end of a strip mall. There is a lot of parking available in the lot that it shares with the other business in the strip mall that it is located. They have a decent sized dining area, that almost looks like a banquet hall. There is a roped of VIP area, a non-alcoholic bar with seating, a vip room and a stage where they host live music. It looks like it would be a hoping place on weekends. You will also find an ATM here as well as a few televisions around the bar area. There is a patio area in the front of the restaurant, but it was closed and had tables stacked on top of each other when I was there. I decided to dine in, which was kind of awkward. I was never seated. I just found a table after standing there for about 5 minutes. The table was not very stable and rocked throughout my meal. Normally, the server brings a glass of water out to the patrons too, but that was not the case here. I had to even track down the server to take my order. The staff there is friendly enough, but as I have mentioned, they are very hard to communicate with. They offer a limited menu that rotates based on the day of week. This is an authentic restaurant. I mean authentic, authentic. communicating with them was very difficult. They did not understand a word I said and vice versa. Somehow I was able to place my order, even though it took a while. I went with the fried goat, which came with french fries, plantains and slaw. I ended up having to point out the drink I wanted in the cooler behind the bar. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my food and it looked delicious. I will be honest though, it was not very good. The plantains tasted like cardboard, the fries were a bit off too. The goat was good, but it and the rest of the food was luke warm at best. It was like it was already prepared and just put on the platter. I ended up throwing my plantains away and I do not like to waste food, but I just could not eat them. I really really had high hopes for this place, but it did not deliver. The food just did not do it for me. The communication issue affected the service and the prices were a bit steep. my meal and drink ran me about $25. I hope that my visit was an off day for the restaurant, but I will probably not be coming back anytime soon.
