Whenever I’m craving seafood, I choose Crafty Crab. Mostly, I order their fried shrimp.Those morsels are well seasoned and fried to a nice golden brown. It’s so yummy!Other times, I get the steam bag.It’s stuffed with flavorful, juicy, and buttery seafood. Not only is it delicious, it’s fulfilling,,too..Most importantly, I always have a pleasant experience .All the wait staff are prompt and courteous. But I usually request Vanessa. She greets us with a big warm smile and laser sharp attentiveness.So, if you’re feeling like seafood, you should go to Crafty Crab. Everything on the menu taste great. Best of all, the service is top notch.

I give it a 3 because the waiter was good, he made sure to check on you but not be annoying about it.. the decor and location was good it was more family friendly for sure but the cooks need to step up there game to be better then the one in Tallahassee, it could have just been an off night but the food was good but not as good.. I'm willing to give them another try.I can say the portions was really good for the price, they definitely didn't skip on that.

FANTASTIC! I chose to eat here because I wanted seafood for my birthday but didn't want to go to the beach side for it. My family drove from an hour away to join me, and none of us were disappointed! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! We got the calamari, sweet potato fries, crab loaded fries, boiled shrimp, crab legs, and sausage without a single complaint! In fact, my mom wants to come here again for her birthday, and my brother is going to bring his friend from out of town! There is plenty of food served, and the waitress kept up with us in a timely manner without rush. We will be back again!

We ordered snow crab legs and shrimp to go ended up with crab legs and mud crickets Food was nasty and they wouldn’t refund the money unless we came back I would not recommend this place The food is just OK I could probably find a dead dog somewhere on the side of the road and it would taste better

This was my first time visiting, and I was pleasantly surprised because I’ve heard mixed reviews. We got calamari, half dozen scallops, side of fries, whole shrimp boil and 2 sodas which was right under $50 bucks. The buttery garlic scallops were phenomenal and I wish we would’ve gotten a whole dozen. Service was quick and fast. The shrimp boil was a lot of food too which was nice! The menu is just a little confusing if you’re a new person coming here, but I liked how many flavor options there were to choose from.The only reason why I gave 4 stars was because it seemed like the waitress wanted us out of the restaurant. She dropped the check off about 5 minutes after dropping our entrees off, and the shrimp boil wasn’t even halfway done when she came back and asked “can I go ahead and take the bill?”, we’ve got shrimp boil all over our hands and we clearly were still trying to eat. So that was the only thing I truly didn’t like was the readiness for a bill when we were nowhere near being done eating, I just felt it was rude.

So my sister mentioned the name, I searched for one close to me & said I'd give it a try. Absolutely enjoyed my seafood boil. I'll definitely be going back.

I’ve been hesitant on trying this place because I’ve been told it’s way overpriced. This ain’t true at all. If you google the prices for any of these items by the pound, they’re all up to date on current market prices. If you can’t afford to eat here, then don’t, but don’t complain about it being too expensive and leave a bad review for this specific restaurant for something that is out of their control. ALL SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS have high prices for their crab legs etc. right now. The atmosphere in here is pretty fun, decent music, good drinks. Our server was fun, attentive, and welcoming. The food was pretty great. Their seasoning is absolutely delicious (we got the boom). We damn sure got a deal on one of their platters for $78 when it really should’ve been closer to $90-$100. I definitely recommend trying it just for the seafood boil experience at least once. I will definitely be back when I’m ready to spend some money on a huge delicious seafood feast!

The staff were extremely nice. I got a table as soon as I entered. I didn't have a long wait before my server arrived. She was very knowledgeable about items in the menu. Price was comparable to other restaurants nearby. I will definitely be coming back with my family. I truly recommend visiting this wonderful restaurant.

The food was great! CiCi our sever was the bomb???

Came here for lunch and the service and food was very good. The food came out quickly. We had gotten one of the boils, 1/2 a dozen oysters, and a plate of crab, and the flavor was very good. Would definitely come back.
