I was so so pleased to stumble across this jewel!!! I felt this was just what I needed when I wanted a seafood boil. It was good food with great portions and for a reasonable price. But be aware that the gratuity is included in your price, so once you get your bill it will be a little extra so have a few extra bucks to be safe. Service was good and the wait was really pleasant. You will love the drinks as they have the best drinks and selections for you. Seating is pretty good as well. Small bathrooms but clean I couldn't be more pleased with everything! So please go and check em out and tell them the Butler Brand Review sent you!!!
Great spot for seafood. I've had their hot lobster roll, peel n' eat Cajun shrimp, Cajun cheese fries, fried clam strips, and wings. It is all really good and their happy hour deals are also great. Service has been great every time I've gone in large and small groups. Gratuity is always included.
The food was excellent. The bill with a tip already on the it, and being sneaky with an additional tip spot- not cool. We were two people and would have given a bigger tip if one was not already on the bill. Mr Crab made a strong drink for my husband and my non alcoholic strawberry daiquiri was a nice change from my regular water or soda. To start off we shared a lobster bisque. Minimal seafood in the soup but what they had wad good quality and the creamy base - delicious. My fried shrimp had a nice thick breading, plenty of shrimp, good tarter sauce and coleslaw. My fries I prefer crispier. My husband went with a lobster tail seafood boil. The tail itself was on the smaller side but packed with meat. Minimalist spot with good food!
Quick bite with friends and it was soo good . The Service was amazing and the food was fhor and good. Can't wait to try it again!
We've been hearing how great Mr Crab is from so many people and finally checked it out and yup, they are right! What a hidden gem. It's great comfort food and the seafood boil was finger licking flavorful. Service was friendly and ambiance was fun and lively. Can't wait to return and endulge in the near future.
My friends and I got the seafood boil, which was our first time trying it. It was a good price and they gave a decent amount of seafood. Their crab seemed to be frozen because it was hard to get the meat out. The veggies in the boil were fantastic. Especially the corn! The clam chowder and lobster bisque were also great!
This is my first visit here. Others in my party have been here before. I am giving it a 4-star because the service was a little slow especially with the drinks. Even the second round of drinks was slow. Maybe they were short staffed on a Wednesday night. However, the drinks were good. The seafood platter and the lobster salad were repeaters from others. They really enjoyed both dishes. The chicken teriyaki looked over sauced. The lobster roll was delicious. A good place for mid-week dinner.
