    Back of restaurant

    7 of us went to commemorate my mother's 95th birthday (her name is Willie Mae) Great service and ambiance. Menu is extensive and covers all bases. The men had the Ribs;Women the fish and all were pleased and surprised at the portion size. The owner greets all guests. Such a beautiful,thoughtful touch. A 4 acre property with outdoor seating; donkeys for the kids;a stream and small waterfall. Highly Recommended!! We'll be back.

    Food tastes like it's right out of your southern grandma's kitchen. I had the rib dish, and my husband had the fried chicken. We also got a side of fries and cornbread. The ribs were so good, not completely smothered in BBQ sauce, just the right amount! I'm not always a fan of homemade Mac n cheese, but this was amazing! Hubby spent many years living in the south, and he was not disappointed by anything on the table! The cornbread made my night! The staff is also the sweetest, nicest people you could meet! We were checked on, and everyone was so friendly. The place is also super clean. We will definitely be going back! I can't wait to try the gumbo and hubby can't wait to try the grits.

    Tonight I visited a southern comfort place with my daughter and we ordered the BBQ rib dinner. The ribs were good and tender, which was a highlight for us. However, the sides were a bit of a letdown. The mac & cheese was just okay, and we didn't really enjoy the collard greens or sweet potato puree. Overall, it wasn't the best meal we've had, but it wasn't the worst either. I would say to give them a chance, everyone's taste is different.

    The main courses are good. Side dishes that accompany the meal need some help. I really want to like this place, but sides are bland.

    Is there a bar area to sit at for a drink before dinner? And what types of drinks are available- beer, cocktails, and wine?

    No. Very small hopefully they got better from our last visit. It wasn't the best service and the food wasn't anything special

    The treatment my husband and I received at this Flaming Crab location on February 13, 2026 is…read moreirreparable We are not occasional guests. We are loyal patrons who have frequented this establishment for years and even chose this location to host our rehearsal dinner. Because of that history, what occurred during our recent visit was not only disappointing -- it was unacceptable. We visited to celebrate Valentine's Day. After being seated, I ordered a passion fruit mojito, a drink I have previously enjoyed at your restaurant. When it arrived, it was immediately clear that it had not been prepared properly. There was no muddled mint, virtually no mint flavor, minimal passion fruit taste, and an overwhelmingly sour profile dominated by lemon and lime. A single mint leaf floating against the glass does not constitute a properly prepared mojito. I informed our server that I did not like the drink and requested a different cocktail. I did not ask for a refund. I simply asked for a replacement. The manager approached our table and stated that refunds on drinks are not given. Again, I clarified that I was not seeking a refund -- only a different drink. What followed was a prolonged and unnecessary debate. The manager questioned whether anything was actually wrong with the drink, pointed to its color as proof that passion fruit was present, and suggested that if I did not like it, I could have a beer or soda instead. When I requested a margarita instead, I was told it would "taste the same," despite the clear and obvious difference between a rum-based cocktail and a tequila-based cocktail. The conversation became argumentative over a $10 drink -- something that should have been resolved in moments with a simple replacement. My husband, who owns a restaurant himself, attempted to explain that we had recently visited and I had received an excellent mojito made by a male bartender. The manager responded dismissively that there was no male bartender on staff. That was beside the point. The point was that the drink had previously been made correctly and this one was not. By the time the manager agreed to have another cocktail prepared, the experience had already been soured. We chose to leave rather than continue what should never have become a confrontation. In doing so, the restaurant lost the revenue from two full meals -- all over an issue that could have been resolved in seconds. When my husband, who owns a restaurant himself, explained that disputing a minor matter was costing the business far more than the drink itself, the manager stated he was "just doing what the owner told him to do." If this reflects ownership policy, it is a policy that prioritizes rigidity over hospitality and ultimately harms the business. A rigid, defensive approach over minor issues does not protect revenue -- it drives loyal customers away. Additionally, the tone and resistance we encountered left us uncomfortable and questioning whether assumptions were being made about us as customers. Whether intentional or not, I would also be remiss if I did not address how the interaction felt. The tone and resistance we encountered left us uncomfortable and questioning whether assumptions were being made about us as customers. Whether intentional or not, that perception alone is troubling and warrants serious reflection. We did not expect special treatment. We expected reasonable customer service. Instead, we were met with defensiveness, inflexibility, and dismissiveness. We have supported Flaming Crab for years. After this experience, we are reconsidering whether we will return. I trust this matter will be reviewed thoughtfully and that corrective steps will be taken to ensure future guests are treated with professionalism and respect. Patricia W

We ordered appetizers, but they never arrived. Our drinks took roughly 30 minutes to come out. I ordered a martini flight and unfortunately it was horrible. After waiting another 30-45 minutes after getting our drinks, the entrées finally arrived. I ordered nine oysters prepared three different ways, which were supposed to come with two sides. The sides never arrived. The oysters were just okay... I was so hungry by that point that I ate them anyway. My husband tried one and said it was so bad that he couldn't even eat the whole thing. We decided to order dessert, but after waiting another 30 minutes and never receiving it, we finally got up and went to the host stand to pay and leave. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and professional throughout the evening, and I truly appreciated their attitude. However, the service was extremely slow, and it appeared the restaurant was significantly understaffed. While the employees did their best, the overall dining experience was poor due to the long waits, bad food, missing items, and overall poor experience.

The wings were packed with flavor, and the sides were also really good and paired perfectly with them. The only small issue was the second time I ordered I added the banana special dessert, and it was accidentally left out of the bag. I meant to reach out, but they had already closed by the time I noticed. Honestly, the food was so good it didn't take away from the experience. Hopefully next time I go, I'll mention the dessert and have it added to the next order. I'll definitely be ordering again. If you're looking for wings with tons of flavor, this place delivers.

Not realizing the time, we got there right when they opened and they were still setting up. The entire staff was really nice and we sat around in their dining area admiring all the positive art pieces and news clipping on their history. It's an amazing story of overcoming the struggles of Covid dining limitations. The staff is really the major standout in my eyes. Everyone was just so welcoming, it felt like we were over at a friend's house. The food was great too, wings were up there with the best we had and the rice as well. We ordered some extra rice to go. If you're looking for a nice comfort spot by the waterpark. Give them a try!
