The food here is priced extremely well!! They have a ton of specials going on! 1.99 for margaritas! We had Milli as our server and she was extremely kind and friendly and let us know about all the specials! 10 out of 10 recommend coming to try this place out if you haven’t!
Decent spot for a seafood boil. Was seated immediately on a weekday afternoon so not too busy. Ordered the seafood boil bag and gumbo. Both was good and comparable to other chain seafood boil spots. The gumbo was great though, just wished there was more rice with it. I also ordered boiledl eggs with my bag but never received them. The waitress did take the extra $ off the bill. They could do better with customer service, felt like we always had to flag her down as she was passing by to other tables to get something.
Wow! First time ever having any kind of seafood boil, and I was very satisfied. Walked in and was greeted and sat immediately (granted, it was after 5:30 pm on a weekday so it was slower; only 3 other tables when we arrived). Our server, Wayne, was great! Kind and quick. Food came out in a timely manner - fresh and hot! I got the crab/shrimp/sausage deal. It came with 2 eggs, 3 potatoes, and 1 corn. I got mine with the house special sauce at a medium heat level and it was perfect for me. My partner and child shared 2 pounds of crawfish. One with buttery garlic seasoning, mild, and the other with Cajun seasoning (also mild). We loved it so much only took home one box because we nearly finished it in the restaurant. Definitely will be back in the future!
The food was amazing perfect boiled snow crab, but to be honest the fried shrimp was almost better! Our server was extremely kind but didn't not bring many refills or offer more margaritas (which are amazingly priced) I'd say stop in the lunch specials their boil specials are amazing! I will absolutely be back it was overall a good experience.
This was our third visit to Cracking Crab! We love watching them bring out the all the delicious Seafood Boil in the bags holding in all the seasonings and flavors in. Our granddaughter only asks for the Crab Legs! Love watching her expression when they bring her platter out ! The food is definitely worth the price which is very reasonable. It's not on the beach but it is worth the drive to get there!
