"Lord knows I'm a Voodoo Child baby" Any restaurant that serves Krazy Straws gets five stars off the bat. Friday night, my wife came home late. I'm thinking we missed happy hour and every place is jammed packed. I head straight to Voodoo Crab hoping we can still get in. The hostess says you can wait 20 minutes for a table or I can seat you outside in one of the igloo. Interesting. Well call me an Eskimo, we're in! My best suggestion, don't wear Rayon, Silk or Cashmere. You're gonna get a wonderful, splashy fish dish. I had sauce splashed everywhere! First, drinks are needed. My wife orders a Coconut Margarita made with coconut tequila and I ordered the "Fire-Rita" made with Jalapeno infused agave syrup. Both drink were mixed perfectly, kudos to the bartender. First time here and we want to order a boil. The meat choice offerings do sound intriguing, grilled two pound Tomahawk as well as a Korean marinated Rib Eye? Wow! The boil concept is very cool. Each boil comes with corn cobs and potatoes. Now add any fish you wish. This dish is similar to a New England Clam Bake. You can add Lobster, Clams, Calamari, Shrimps (Both heads on or off) Mussels and Snow Crab Legs. You can also kick up the sauce heats from mild to wild. I'm with my wife, so spicy is not in my future. We chose the garlic butter with a mild heat. Now any boil in my humble opinion must have Andouille sausage. In the boil it goes! You can adjust this boil anyway you want, the fish choices are 1/2 pound or 1 pound. My boil choice is the lobster (about 1 1/2 pounds) Heads on Shrimp, Green Mussels and Andouille sausage. The boil comes to us very quickly. Think of an Uncle Bens boil in a bag rice. Our waitress opens the bag and out pours this beautiful seafood mixture. The part that amazes me, everything tastes fresh. I had in my head all the fish and vegetables would be a soggy mess. This is so not the case at Voo Doo crab. The lobster is what made me scream on the inside. Cooked perfectly, I was tearing into the lobster like nobobys business. Cracking the claws to get at the sweet, briny lobster meat. Insane. The shrimps were cleaned, I hate overcooked rubbery shellfish. I'm telling you this was a perfectly executed platter of fish. Also, the corn! So fresh and sweet, amazing. I was a little nervous ordering for the first time, should we order soups or appetizers? I hate to under order. For two people, what we ordered was very plentiful. The potatoes, corn and the andouille sausage add to the boil. If you're looking for a fun place with great cocktails and freshly made seafood, Voo Doo Crab should be your dining choice. There are so many choice combinations, you'll always have a different dining experience. Enjoy! read more

Went there for lunch with a friend they had awesome specials with great prices definitely worth a visit

I was pleasantly surprised by this seafood restaurant! I had never been to a voodoo crab before but were in the mood for some seafood the other night. We checked it out with our friends and we all ordered a bunch of appetizers to share. I ate most of my fish and chips which were crisp but also flakey on the inside as they should be. There was a bunch of small strips of fish in this dish instead of your typical 3 larger filets at other restaurants. I liked their version better because it was not overwhelming and it allows for easily being able to share. I highly recommend coming to this location with a group of people and all ordering different dishes so you can share and try the whole menu! I cannot wait to go back and try some more items. read more

I went to voo doo after getting my nails done next door. The service was great and we got the blackened fish , white wine mussels, backed claims and crab 1lb boil. I usually get a boiled for myself but my sister and I split it and it was enough for us that night. The mussels came out cold and when I went the first time they were not. Might just have been this location. Was not my favorite. The backed claims are not the your grocery store claims. They are tiny and I recommend asking for the white wine sauce to top them. Soo good! The boil was boiling and very yummy. I got the Juicy Cajun sauce I believe. Loved it they should sell sauces separately. All in all we enjoyed and I would come back. Not in my top 5 boil places but would return. read more

Remember to make reservations otherwise you might be waiting a while. One evening I want boiled seafood so we decide to come here. If you aren't into seafood, there are non-seafood items. There are indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor tables are in igloos. For indoor seating, the tables are separated by plastic on one side and spacing in between. The lighting is low light to give ambiance. Music playing can be a bit loud but it can prevent you from hearing your neighbor's conversation which is good. We order: - Baked Clams (6) - $11.00 - sizes ranges from mid-size to small clams. - Voodoo Chicken Wings - $9.00 - it's piping hot so be careful when you first dig in. - Kobe Sliders (2) with Fries - $10.00 - a bit messy to eat though it's good. - Oysters (6) - $11.00 - very fresh - Marinated Kimchi Steak - $24.00 - surprisingly delicious - Boiled Calamari with voodoo sauce - $7.50 - they might want to have a mix for a set price since 3-4 items can add up very quickly and would be too much food for 1 person. If you get a chance, check out the lunch special which I plan to do one day. read more

We were in the Home Depot, down the road, and after finishing up some purchases we decided to head to the Arby's down the road for lunch. Pulling into the parking lot I notice, out of the corner of my eye Voodoo Crab. Hmmm I didn't know they were there but they serve one of my loves, Seafood Boil. A quick left turn and I'm parked right in front. Turns out this is there second day open. Yes I love this type of food but we Must support a new business. They offer outside seating but we chose to sit inside. They follow all of the COVID 19 protocol with masks, social distancing, etc. The lunch menu is somewhat limited but Snow Crab and Shrimp is perfect for me. My wife has the same but different seasonings and heat. I will say the wait was long but for their second day, understandably. We noticed a couple of friends there so that helped with the time. Ok here it comes a triple cluster of snow crab and ... wait a minute, I'm supposed to get 6 shrimp but there are only 5. Don't mess with me when it comes to shrimp. This could mean war, but our waitress was very sweet and remedied my shrimp fiasco very quickly. Once again I know it's their second day and they have a few kinks to work out but I'm sure they will get it right. I highly recommend "Voodoo Crab" and I know I'll be back very soon. I hope to see you there supporting this local business. read more

A Long Island gem I was lucky to find one night looking for a good seafood spot, low and behold Voodoo crab surprised me and my boyfriend immensely!! The service was incredible, the servers have always been a gem to see, and for the price of a half pound of Cajun crab legs it is an absolute steal! Has become a hot spot now for me and my family, my dad and I are planning to come back very soon as will my partner and I. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

SO. GOOD.!! My first time trying Cajun Seafood Boil and it was SO good. I got 1/2 lb Calamari + 1/2 lb Clams, and it was about $19 (tip&tax excluded). We all tried the "Voodoo Experience" for the sauce and it complemented the seafood boil so well. Comes with corn and potatoes. I rate this 12/10, would totally come back! For those who got Crab/Crawfish, it seemed like a bit of a struggle to eat. They give you a bib+gloves though! read more

I had the lunch special. Good price, comes with clam chowder too. I ordered the crab legs with old bay spice. Good combination of course. Who doesn't love old bay seasoning lol. The sausage is extra $$ if you want that added. I gave 3 stars because the take out service wasn't terrible but when I went in to get my food the hostess said it wasn't done after I waited the 45 mins. So as I was walking back to my car she didn't realize that it was ready and called me back in. Very nice lady though. That is not a deal breaker. I enjoyed my food. read more

We had a great dinner at Voodoo Crab tonight. My husband had the jambalaya- I tasted it and it was amazing! The sauce was so good I want to buy a bottle of it! I had the lobster boil. It was a whole lobster. I chose the garlic butter sauce but ended up dipping it in my husband's jambalaya sauce. We started with little neck clams and calamari. Yum! The dinner was so good and it was finished off with dessert! He had the Molten chocolate lava cake and I had the crème brûlée. I can't wait to go back!!! read more

I was very excited to eat at this location. I always go to the massapequa location. This was my first time at Centereach. I should have known it was gonna be a bad night from when I walked in and was just looked at without being greeted. I had to say a table for 2 please. Then we was seated in the middle table which was tiny. I could barely fit and not to mention my husband. I asked the waitress if we could wait for a booth and she looked at us with a blank stare as if I was speaking another language besides English. Then said " Oh there's the bar" At that point I wanted to leave but it was date night and didn't want to drive out to the city so we stayed and went to the bar. That when we meet our bar attender Cassidy. Cassidy is the only reason why I gave this place 2 stars. She was funny and entertaining and made great conversation. I ordered my usual which was the wings, shrimp and crab leg boil. My husband ordered Ribs and garlic noodles. The wings and the boil did NOT taste like want I normally order in Massapequa. The potato and corn was even nasty. Later on that night, my husband was sick. I am assuming from the ribs. What was suppose to be date night, ended up being a disaster with an upset stomach. Oh and not to mention the bathroom wasn't even that clean. I would never return to this location again. read more

Thank you Voodoo Crab staff for making a important night great! We went here for my sons graduation night at his request. You got us in quickly, gave our party absolutely excellent service!! While excellent service can make up a little if the food isn't great, in this case the food was absolutely amazing. Everything cooked great and tasting amazing. Highly recommend this location if you want excellent food and a great experience! read more

I was very excited to see there was a cajun restaurant in our neighborhood at first. The food we ordered was great, we all enjoyed it. However, my disappointment was in what the menu didn't have. As a cajun place I was expecting gumbo and étouffée, and they weren't on the menu. Those are traditional cajun dishes. It's like a Cuban restaurant not have Cuban sandwiches. Also as was mentioned by others, the place is VERY loud, where it's hard to have a conversation; you wind up yelling over each other. The service was great, decor was nice and again...the food was very tasty. read more

we were sat at the windows which gave us a nice view of the sunset as we came during dinner time. the servers were really quick with giving us water and taking our order. we started with the fried fish basket with potato wedges. the fish was nice and crispy but really juicy. it was really good, especially with the spicy sauce that it came with. the seafood boil was also very good. the noodles was very nice compliment to the cajun flavor and everything was boiled perfectly. i really loved the the packaging of their hand wipes and gloves as well, it was very funny. read more

4 of us went there for a Saturday lunch last week, the place is very clean and nice. They have lunch menu which gives great combo choice of seafood. We ordered 4 appetizers to share, calamari and soft shell crab are great, the baked clam was not impressive though. The Cajun juicy sauce was great with seafood, any kind of seafood, extra order of the sausage，yummy! read more

My husband , daughter and I were on the waitlist for the place on the corner but decided to cancel due to the long wait. We were very hungry and decided to check this place out. It was our first time here. So glad that we did! First off the place has a great seafood menu!!! I ordered the broiled calamari with corn and Cajun fries. It was delicious!!! My husband ordered the tiger shrimp with corn and a side of vegetable fried rice . My daughter ordered their snow crab legs. We all absolutely loved it! The ambiance feels great and the music playing in the background was a plus! I really enjoyed that. The staff was very attentive. Their coconut sorbet dessert was so good that I didn't want to share! Lol. So, my husband had to order his own! Definitely recommend that you try this place out. We'll be back again soon! Check it out! read more

I'm definitely not saying this place was bad but the prices you pay for what we got just didn't make us want to come back regularly. Granted we didn't try one of the boil bowls and that is probably what we should have done as others around us that got it looked really good. Service at the bar was really good though and I enjoyed my happy hour beer for only $4. read more

REALLY great food, Snow Crab Legs were amazing, the chicken wings didn't even need sauce, they were big and delicious. The Kobe steak was so tender and perfectly cooked. The Merlot wine was delicious as well. One of the nicest things was there was no special charge for the Igloo, which most places are charging up to $100 extra just fir the Igloo, which to me is highway robbery. Our waitress Dominque was absolutely terrific, great personality, personable and made sure we were always taken care of. If you love great food at a decent price, try this place you will love it. read more

4.5 stars!! What a pleasant surprise. We went in thinking it was going to be a small restaurant that did mostly take out...boy was I ever wrong. The inside is bigger than it looks from the outside. The atmosphere was excellent and the food and drink was awesome. The Frozen VooDoo juice is a must. VooDoo wings were cooked perfect, oysters were delicious, and the Marinated Korean Style Ribeye was amazing. The service could have been a bit better but still a very enjoyable experience. We will be back! read more

So pleasantly surprise by this spot. Came across it after getting My nails done at PACFE nextdoor and saw voodoo was opening. Came back with some girlfriends not realizing it was only their third night of being open. Food: Delicious. We got the crab and shrimp boil and ribs and wings. Ribs were slightly dry but overall pretty delicious. Atmosphere: We sat outside but they were playing some great tunes inside. Wish there was some outdoor music, but not a dealbreaker. Service: OUTSTANDING. Danny, our waiter, was so patient and kind throughout the evening. We could tell he Was nervous because production was slow, but he did a great job. Obviously it's a brand new spot and they have to find their flow. Price: Decent price for seafood and cocktails! Overall: Def try it. Ill be back for sure. read more
