Alaskan snow crab was great! Service was excellent! Parking is easy and it's right off the freeway.

I was staying at a nearby hotel and decided to try Crab Avenue. It was beyond my expectations and ended up being amazing. Great seasoning, spices, quality of food, and service.The price is very reasonable for the quality. They also have some lunch specials if you want to get a deal.

I ate lunch here and got a bowl of gumbo. Service was great and so was the gumbo. I liked the place so well I went back for dinner. Again service was excellent and the food perfect. I had grilled catfish, roasted potatoes and salad. If I were staying at the same Hilton around the corner tomorrow I would eat here again.

Crab Ave is like our second home in Glendale ?Seafood is always fresh and tasty, as well as pasta and some appetizers.They have a great kids menu and they also give some crayons for kids to draw.The interior is super cool, one feels like on a boat in the Caribbean Sea:))And of course special thanks to the owners and Alex, who make every customer feel like home.

Delicious shrimp! I found this place by accident and am definitely coming back. Not only was the food excellent the service was wonderful and everyone was so nice!

Great service and the food was even better than expected! A place to keep on my favorites to revisit.

Really great seafood spot in Glendale, with huge portions, lots of seasoning, and plenty of space to sit, both indoors and outdoors. The Clam Chowder is to die for. It’s rich, thick, and made with lots of clams. I was really pleasantly surprised. The Shrimps, Sausage, and Potatoes were all seasoned to perfection, and served in enormous portions. Service was great. It’s a pricey spot, but worth it.

Would give 2.5 stars, but not 3. Our experience was utterly mediocre. Even from the time we walked in we questioned whether we should stay or not. The overall ambiance and atmosphere was just off putting. It didn't feel welcoming or inviting like a place you would want to sit and relax and enjoy a meal. We almost left but felt bad.We tried ordering the crab legs but it was extremely expensive so we settled for other seafood dishes which were subpar. The crab cakes were inconsistent between the 2 we received. One was just ok, the other one didn't taste fresh. The grilled catfish meal was decent. However, the seafood jambalaya pasta was terrible. It lacked flavor and the proteins were overcooked. We didn't finish it and we didn't even take the leftovers home, something we never do.I also need to comment on the server. He seemed nice and attentive, however, whenever I spoke to him (a woman) he only replied back to my partner who is a man. Even when I handed him my card to pay, he still only spoke directly to my partner and wished him a good evening, not me.

Placed a pick up order with this place and the seafood was amazing! Ordered a pound of shrimp and a pound of black Mussles with their mixed sauce (level very hot) and it was delicious. The sauce is a mix of Cajun, it's citrusy and has little chunks of garlic in it. When I picked up the order the food was hot but not over cooked which was my concern when ordering. Would definitely eat here again!

This restaurant has a lot of variety and options to choose from. Great place to bring groups because of this. I ate here three evenings over the 10-days I was in the area and each time I went with the "Build Your Own Pasta". This allowed me to create my own pasta dish using a variety of options. Overall the ingredients were reasonably priced. I did oysters one night and they were small. Did not repeat that. Saw a lot of shrimp being eaten. Adult beverages were reasonably priced, service was consistently outstanding as was the food. Would definitely eat here again.
