The food was great, the atmosphere had a notable problem. I ordered the #1 seafood combo. The crab was amazing, the meat melted in my mouth and had great flavor. The shrimp was good, through the seasoning was inconsistent despite my best efforts. I ordered the spiciest option, and the shrimp was the only part I got the spice from. Sometimes I'm there was no heat, other times it felt like it was trying to kill me. My biggest gripe with the food was the lack of potatoes. Why get stingy with potatoes? There were only 2 in the boil I got. It was a generous amount of food overall, but I feel like potatoes are the weirdest part to skimp out on. The restaurant looked nice and had good lighting. My biggest complaint overall was the choice of music. Objectively, it was not appropriate for a family joint. It was Kanye West, Childish Gambino, Tyler the Creator, and other similar artists. The songs were explicit, and there were many families with children in the restaurant. I can't rate it too low because all the food I tried was great, and I hope to come again in the future. read more

I've held off reviewing this restaurant because I wanted to wait for the new appeal to die down. I'm very glad I did! I came in with my husband and we were immediately seated. The decor is very similar to what it was with a splash of sea decor. They had some summer specials so we opted for one. We asked for the Cajun seasoning and I wanted extra spicy but the waiter thought spicy was enough. Get. The. Extra. Spicy. I like to feel the spice inflammation and where the food is in my gi system. I wanted to sweat. I had maybe a slightly sweaty upper lip but that was it. Wear all black. The sauce gets EVERYWHERE. All in all, it was good but everything was slightly over cooked for my liking. It comes in the large steamy bag I'm used to at restaurants but it's definitely not like my house where the pot gets poured out on the table. The portions are literally just enough to be completely satisfying and the service was superb! read more

The food was good for the area. The batter for the fried foods was just right (crunchy, not over or under seasoned). The boiled seafood was good. The fries were even good. I say this BC I find it strange that we're surrounded by ocean and lakes but good seafood restaurants are somehow hard to find. The waitresses were attentive and pleasant. I think the menu items are a little bit pricey for what you get but I guess they know people don't have many options. The restrooms and guest table areas were clean. The background music was not offensive and was appropriate for the general public. So the only cons I found were the place is slightly pricey, no military discount, the shrimp fried rice is very sweet and I know this is ridiculous but the cocktail sauce & tartar sauce are too sweet. read more

The decor and service was good! Now the music was actually a huge turn off for a seafood restaurant! Try some Blues music! The lobster and shrimp were overcooked and tough! The potato's and corn really good! The shrimp fried rice also good. For the price and overcooked seafood, will not return. read more

Well well we'll. I finally got to try this place and I knew it would be a disappointment but I had to!! Coming from texas I know that crawfish won't compare but I had to show my kid what a frozen crawfish taste like. Its sadness and tears. I know of course that there isn't live crawfish being served but still. It was pretty sad. I didn't think that the dungeness crab would be frozen either!! At $30/lb!!! So sad. Anyways, the sausage and potatoes were good. The corn was ok. Everything else was mediocre. I can see why the ratings are so low. I also got some fried mushrooms and fried catfish. Those were okay. A bit overly salted. Service was great. We're pretty low maintenance. I would not come back. read more

The food was yummy Cajun food. We had the seafood broil. The service was good. The ambiance was casual. Lots of food. But a bit pricey. read more

Worse seafood boil ever. I am pescatarian and i love me a good boil. This place over cooks the seafood, super rubbery. I ordered a pound of snow crab and crawfish. I'm pretty sure they skimp on the seafood because when i opened the bag, there were maybe 10 crawfish and it was soooo small. And a cluster in a half of snow crab. The whole thing was COVERED in the seasoning and it was so salty, i had to wash some of it off. Very very disappointing. Very pricey as well. Wont be back. read more

Everything!! Way too pricey and lacking service and ambiance. Good was just barely average

I loved our waitress, Megan. She was so helpful and kind. I was a little shocked with prices for the king crab however I believe seafood has gone quite up this year. I love their decor and easy parking! They only serve beer, wine and premixed drinks so for that reason I gave 4 stars. The staff kept it clean and welcoming! Family friendly too! read more

Prices are very expensive for fried everything! Not healthy unless you want crab and it is too expensive for my budget.

I've been looking for a place to get quality seafood and I finally found it. Didn't even realize it was there but now that I found it wow their food is delicious. I've been there six times now and I've never been disappointed. My favorite is the lobster and shrimp boil that I've had other things there as well just as delicious. Definitely would recommend this even if you get it to go. It stays hot and it's really good read more

MEH - good service but not great food/seafood. Ordered my bag spicy but had no spice at all. It's a fail for me.

Great new option for our community. Took my family to enjoy a good crab boil. I got the Cajun seasoning and it did not disappoint. The servers were energetic and attentive. Someone three tables down dropped their soda and within minutes the table was reset, floor mopped, and diner resuming their meal. The place was super clean and fun. I included some photos of the walls. While waiting for the meal my family drew on the paper table covers. Just in general a fun time. Glad we went. I'll be back to try the other options. read more

This place was great. Food was on point and service was stellar. If anyone that reads this from Socal, this place is comparable to Boiling Crab, but better. read more

Service was excellent although I only had a frozen drink. It was delicious! But I looked at the menu and the next time I am in the area I will be sitting down for a boiled dinner. I had already had lunch so didn't order food. The hostess was my server and she was happy to answer all my questions. What also impressed me was youn man talking orders. He asked all the right questions that I would never have thought of and was very helpful in answering questions. There isn't a cocktail lounge, but they have a full drink menu. I am so glad I decided to stop in that day! read more

Amazing Food this is the best place for sea food the crabs are delicious and the service was awesome (but kind of expensive)

The catfish basket portion is amazing. Only thing that could make this meal a little better is real tartar sauce and a slice of lemon.

The king crab was not a king crab it looked more like a prince crab/ regular crab. Not worth the price. I asked the waiter about it he responded their not as big as other restaurants because their not as close to the water . Makes no sense read more

Good food, smaller portion than we were expecting. Service was amazing and loved that there were multiple tvs to watch the sport you're looking for. read more

I guess we are in a recession! The portions have went down considerably! Dont ask for non-spicy!! That means - NO SPICE AT ALL! We paid over $100 for a plate and a half essentially! Wont be going back. read more

It's been a long time since we've had a crab boil but man did this place hit the spot! The restaurant had some really cool decor that kept my 1.5yo completely entertained. The service was quick and accurate. And the food was spectacular! Ok, perhaps a little bit salty but that's seafood for you. They are super family friendly, minus the fact that they don't have a changing room in the men's room. But otherwise we do recommend Yummy Crab. read more

My parents and I went here tonight after a bad experience at another restaurant in the same evening. A complete 180 from what we had experienced. First when we walked in the hostess recognized my mother from when they came in a couple of weeks ago. That is a delight that we had mentioned that. The first time my parents came in they both had gotten the fried food baskets. This time my mother followed my example and got a boil bag. I picked the crawfish boil and my mom went with the clam boil. Both of us got the 1 lb option so that we could have corn and potatoes. This was my mother's first boil bag and to say she was exhilarated is an understatement. The server, Tate, was excellent and on top everything. Including when my slippery hands caused a spill of my Dr. Pepper. My mother thought it was a lil salty so we asked Tate what to order next time and he gave us some really good suggestions. Super happy we went to this place tonight and definitely we be coming back and hopefully regulars. Thank you so much to everyone for giving us an outstanding experience. read more

I went here to get crawfish. The food gave me food poisoning and I ended up in the hospital, be careful eating here.

Ive been to Yummy Crab about 5 times over the past year and 1/2. Each time, the food at Yummy Crab was good and all was eaten. That said, it's definitely on the pricey side for what you get. This review is taking into account my last visit balance out with the past 5 visits. Last visit was unfortunately disappointing in the customer care category. Inappropriate, profane and hateful music, dismissive response from staff, poor service, and even the mislabeled bathroom faucets, the overall experience just doesn't feel worth it any more. Next time a crab craving hits, it feels like boiling crab at home will be a better option than returning here. It's really hard to spend so much and leave feeling dismissed. read more

This review is for takeout; we did not dine in. Pros: Food met expectations out of the 6 restaurants of this style I have visited. Snow crab was tasty and sweet. The shrimp, green mussels, and clams were also good. The seasonings were flavorful and the medium spicy bag had a good level of heat. Things were packed well and still hot after the 15 minute drive home. Cons: The garlic butter and bay seasoned bag, while probably our favorite, had some clusters of overwhelming saltiness. The black mussels were mostly fair, but had a couple that weren't good at all. The mixed seasoning bag had most of the flavor stuck to the crab shell and had to be shaken up to get any flavor into the butter/oil and the lemon / pepper didn't come through at all. Neutral: We had the okra app too; I'm pretty sure there is only one distributor for fried okra in the US. The only difference is how long restaurants leave it in the fryer. It was fine. Overall, if you know what to expect, it should be a pretty good meal. We will be going back. read more

Great service and atmosphere! The food is wonderful! amazing catfish and shrimp here probably the best I've ever eaten! The fried oysters were delicious as well! read more

One if the best crab boil restaurants in the United States. Excellent customer service. Food served in a timely manner. My wife and I highly recommend Yummy Crab in Lacey, Washington! read more

Don't do it! Waitress could not get order correct even after several attempts, but it's okay she blamed it on the system and cooks. The crab was wayyy over cooked almost as overcooked as it was over priced. The garlic bread is Frozen Texas toast. Really??? When we brought it to their attention they started recording us on their cameras, like we were the bad guys! We didn't ask for anything except what we ordered, and then settled for what we got. Never again! I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. 0 Stars!! PS Never ever ever wrote a bad review! read more

my husband and I ordered the catfish basket. my husband had the fries with his catfish and I had substituted corn and potato for my fries. The catfish we had was kind of bland. It definitely was missing some spice and seasonings. We weren't asked if we wanted any seasonings on our catfish. I also ordered a Long Island iced tea which was horribly made. The waitress told me she wasn't surprised. They didn't have a bartender who was of age to make the drinks so I assume the manager made it and she didn't know how. I complained to the waitress, but there was no offer to substitute my drink or to take it off the bill. My corn and potato were cold. The place was nice inside for a new establishment. But I am not sure we are going to go back unless they have a really good deal. At least I know of another place that serves great catfish. So I am not going to miss this place. read more

Yummy Crab - Seafood Near Me - Olympia, Washington

We enjoyed our crab lunches very much. The food was good and service is friendly. We will be back.

It was thier opening day. I kept this in mind when i entered. I was happy the place was not terribly busy. I believe the server was new to serving as she hadn't yes learned to show calmness under pressure. She did a good job bringing us what we requested. We had to remind her one person requested no ice in her water. The food was good the seafood was hot and not overcooked. The taste and texture were fine. The hushpuppies were a little undercooked and more than a little under seasoned. I would certainly return. Im sure when the get things under control and the staff becomes expienced they will get all five stars. read more

I just moved from Spokane to Lacey and was very excited to try this restaurant. The decor is very welcoming and very clean. We order some clam chowder to start and some Fish basket. I also order fried oysters. With my disappointments the clam chowder was so watery and not even hot. Very tasteless watered cream. Normally a good clam chowder is thick and serve hot. The fish are not that great either. Soggy and undercooked. I am not going back tot his restaurant. We found a lot smaller restaurant that so much better than Yummy crab. read more

Let me start by saying the service was great and the paper on the table gave my granddaughter something to color on, it was the crab we ordered that wasn't worth a cent. Thus, to me, the meal was seriously overpriced. Actually, it would still be overpriced even if the crab were fresh and cooked properly. We went with the Dungeness crab and it was either old or overcooked (or both). drowning in butter/garlic and there were 3 small red potatoes and one 2-inch piece of corn with it. Not worth the nearly $40 dollars we paid for it. Won't be going back. read more

Came here when they opened. They got a bunch of cool decorations and stuff we got sat down pretty quickly. The people that served us were really nice.

I'd come back again when my wallet is full of money again lmfao read more
