It was my first time having a seafood boil and this place did not disappoint. All the food came out fresh and hot and the flavor was fantastic. Good portion sizes too, 4 of us split the large seafood platter and it was the perfect amount for everyone to eat comfortably

Very slow services, could be due to shortage and pandemic. Seafood wasn't great. Seasoning on the food wasn't done well. Crawfish tastes terrible. Crab legs was very salty.

Hands down one of the best meals I have ever had. Me and my boyfriend ordered the headless shrimp and snow crab combo with the boom combination seasoning and it came with two small corn on the cobs and a handful of potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious, so much so that we ordered some extra potatoes and corn just because we couldn’t get enough. Overall it was a great experience! I love the atmosphere and it is a very clean and cool environment with amazing decorations! I would highly recommend trying this!!!??

The experience was ok but nothing to brag about. Please note, If anyone has babies or toddlers, this may NOT....... be the place for you. There's no place in the restroom to change diapers or pullups. This was beyond frustrating when having a busy child and having no place to change them. I also will never understand why so many restaurants don't take better care of their restrooms overall...I ordered the lobster seafood boil and it included sausages that sliced beyond thin. The shrimp were tasty but overall, it was pretty average. I enjoyed the fried oysters and a family member ordered the fried fish and said it tasted good. If I were to come back, it would be for the fried oysters.

We stopped for lunch. There weren't many people but I'm told the place gets packed on evenings and weekends. We enjoyed our little feast of Snow Crab, Shrimp, and Sausage with potatoes and corn on the cob, served in the bag it was all cooked in with their mild signature spice blend. It was all delicious. Our waitress was pleasant and efficient. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I felt the prices were too high.

Outstanding seafood, the best you’ll find in Minnesota, even beats that well known large chain restaurant. It’s good for lunch, families, or a romantic dinner with your date. Nicely decorated and very comfortable. I’ve only experienced seafood like this in one other place and you’d have to travel to New York to try it. Save the trip and stop by sometime. You won’t be disappointed.

My husband decided to take me out to dinner as a surprise. Knowing that I love seafood,he chose The Crafty Crab. We were able to find parking easily, and the restaurant is very visible. We were greeted by the staff and seated immediately. The waiter was very friendly and helpful as my husband and I had questions about what his recommendations were. We chose to go with his suggestion, the large combination for up to three people. The wait for our food wasn't long,just under 25 minutes. We were NOT disappointed. The food was hot and tasted pretty good. The prices were not bad for the amount of food you get. We know that we will definitely be returning.

The food was amazing!! We had one of the seafood boils with a lb. of crab legs, a lb. of shrimp, 1/2 lb. sausage, corn and potatoes with the BOOM seasoning and a side of hush puppies. Highly recommend wearing the gloves! ? It's a bit messy but so worth it! Our waitress was very nice and service was fantastic! We will definitely be back! ?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Customer service needs some work, but food was good. The butter sauce is my favorite.Prices has increased. For a build your own, 1/2 pound of green/black mussels, and shrimp with an order of eggs was 30.00

We had a fantastic experience with 6 adults. Service was very good, waiter attentive and enjoyable! Food was excellent. As a group we had blue crab, Dungeness crab, shrimp both boiled and fried. It was all great. We will be back! Excellent value.
