Crab House - Review - Times Square - New York - The Infatuation

"This AYCE seafood spot in Times Square charges $168 a head for its "contactless" buffet—whatever dishes you want are prepared fresh to order. True to Crab House's name, you're in for a lot of crab here: salt-and-pepper Dungeness crab, snow crab legs with old bay, blue crab with cajun butter sauce, and more. There's also a whole lot of lobster, served with a whole lot of butter." - Molly Fitzpatrick

I tried this high-end all-you-can-eat seafood buffet in Times Square and it exceeded my expectations. The moment you step inside, the golden interior immediately stands out, elegant, warm, and surprisingly luxurious for a buffet. The seafood selection was incredible. The snow crab legs and lobsters were the stars fresh, perfectly cooked, and perfectly seasoned. They also had a wide variety of other dishes, all well-seasoned and high quality, which is rare to find in an AYCE setting. The staff was attentive and quick to clear plates, and despite the busy Times Square location, service felt smooth and organized. If you’re looking for an upscale buffet experience with amazing seafood, this place is absolutely worth the visit.

Crab House Times Square made my birthday so special. When we got to our table, they even rolled out the red carpet. The interior blew me away—everything is so grand and luxurious, almost as if I’m dining at the Palace of Versailles. The food came out so fast, all piping hot. We must’ve ordered 3 rounds and we were all extremely full when we left. The lobsters were so juicy and the crab legs were full of flavor My favorites have got to be the Wagyu kalbi, Wagyu fried rice, lobster rolls and garlic butter lobster. The service was also great—our waiter kept coming back to check on us and ask if we wanted to order more stuff. I definitely will be coming back soon! If you are looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, I’d 100% recommend Crab House Times Square.

Crab House Times Square in New York, NY is such a great addition to the area! This new location feels more upscale and is perfect for special celebrations birthdays, anniversaries, date nights, or even work and holiday parties. I love how spacious it is, with private rooms designed for special occasions and a beautiful second-floor lounge featuring elegant décor. The menu here includes exclusive premium items you won’t find at their other locations, like wagyu steak, wagyu kalbi, lamb chops, baked clams, and mini lobster rolls everything was SO good! The Premium Seafood AYCE is $168 and totally worth it for the quality and variety. They also have an awesome birthday offer: the birthday person eats FREE with a group of 4 or more adults on any Tuesday during their birthday month (valid the day before, day of, or day after your birthday). 📍 218 W 40th Street, New York, NY 10018 Highly recommend for seafood lovers looking to celebrate in style!

I love this new place. The hostess was the sweetest and polite. Our server was knowledgeable and professional the entire meal. My favorite were the mussels and the lamb chops. They were savory and juicy. I was placed on the private room which was elegant and gave Caesars palace. The money you pay for all you can eat was worth every penny. I was there for legitimately 2hrs unbothered. For a fee you can take home what you don't finish. The Rose wine paired nicely with our meal as well. I will definitely frequent this location.

ALL YOU CAN EAT SEAFOOD… IN A PALACE?! 👑🦀 I visited today and was completely blown away! First off, the decor is absolutely stunning — chandeliers, gold details, painted ceilings, and even flying Pegasus statues. It honestly feels like dining inside a palace in the middle of Times Square. The food was just as impressive. For $168 a person, you get AYCE seafood feast that’s cooked fresh to order — no heat lamps, no buffet trays. I tried the salt & pepper Dungeness crab, snow crab legs with Old Bay, Cajun blue crab with butter, and of course plenty of lobster. Every dish came out hot, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was great too — friendly, attentive, and everything arrived quickly despite how busy it was. If you love seafood and want a truly unique dining experience, this is 100% worth it. Definitely one of the most memorable AYCE spots I’ve ever been to.

Loved the service - made us feel so special for the night, also felt like we got a great show every time a dish came out. High quality seafood and steaks, one of our favorites for all you can eat! Wagyu rib eye and lobster were the best!

It's hard to complain about unlimited food* but when it's also super well made, it is quite the experience. The service was quick and the people are kind. Walking in feels like you're showing up for a meeting with the queen (RIP) in the palace of Versailles. You pay a premium price for a premium experience and this is exactly what a NYC buffet should be. You'll regret not trying everything. Just get a hungry group and enjoy.

The decor is quite opulent! You feel regal when entering the space. The seating is cozy and comfortable. The service is quick and efficient. The food was delicious!!! Some items we were not fond of but most of the options that we tried were tasty. The drinks were on point! Martinis are $20 but chilled to perfection. Come hungry and ready to spend some $$$ on a delicious seafood meal.

This place is pricey but worth it. We had a reservation for an early evening on Saturday. We were seated right away. The staff was great. The decor and ambiance are beautiful. All the food comes out fresh and piping hot. My favorite items were the scallops and waygu fried rice. Steak was so tender. Drinks were strong. We did spend $482 for 2 of us but I'd do it again.

This is a restaurant where I can say that the decor lives up to the hype with it's gaudy and over the top opulence The staff were friendly and prompt when bringing our food. They checked on us often to ensure they took away used or empty dishes. Ask for the food I think it is totally worth the price. If you are dining in New York and order a lobster dinner or a good steak dinner it's around the same price but here you're able to get all of those things for one price. The steak was delicious. The lobster mac & cheese was really good, all of the Crab items I enjoyed as well as the scallops. We ordered everything on the menu except for shrimp items. There were only two things that I did not enjoy the whole lobster it lacked any taste. I am not a salt person, but it lacked a seafood flavor. I had to squeeze a lot of lemon on it and butter, and it did not enhance any existing seasoning and the oysters, Rockefeller were less than desirable. As a whole, would I return? Absolutely I think it's worth every penny! I am having trouble adding photos to my reviews.

This place is phenomenal! The deco is gorgeous- white and gold with blue accent. The seafood is fresh and they portion the food according to your request or party size. At first I thought the private room is just for big parties, but they actually have so many smaller rooms! If there is a bell or button to call would be even better cos sometimes it can be difficult to get someone in the room. But overall very nice experience and food is amazing.

Stopped in on a Tuesday and had a great experience. The décor is extraordinary--ornate details, dramatic lighting, and the striking winged horse sculptures over the bar. Great music too. The staff were genuinely welcoming. I didn't eat here, so I can't speak for the food, but the bar setup was solid, with a fair selection of wines on display. The space is versatile, with private rooms suited for medium to large groups and a grand hall upstairs designed for events. Overall, the atmosphere and service made a strong impression. A memorable spot in Times Square if you're looking for a visually stunning place to grab a drink or host a gathering.

Finally, an all-you-can-eat seafood experience where you can relax! The made-to-order, table-side service at Crab House Times Square is genius. I was able to concentrate on my food and family instead of fighting crowds for a limited supply of seafood. I did my research and targeted my favorites from the Yelp photos, and they did not disappoint! Every dish was fresh and top-tier. Must-tries include the perfect and amazing lobster rolls, the half-fried lobster, soft-shell crab, and the tasty Dungeness crabs. The Wagyu ribeye and the sizzling whole fish prove their quality goes beyond just seafood. Highly recommend! Alan L.

If you're looking for an upscale, all you can eat in NYC, THIS IS YOUR PLACE. I visit their other location every time I come to NYC because it's THAT good. The food is always fresh, the service is amazing, and the flavor hits just right every time! This new location takes it up a notch from their other location, so if you want something a little fancier and more fine dining, come to this location! The interior is STUNNING and perfect for photos. If you're looking for an all you can eat seafood/steak restaurant that is reasonably priced in the city, you HAVE to come here! The scallops, the sea bass, crab legs, and wagyu are a must!

The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh and just unbelievable. Everything that I ordered was perfectly made and freshly made.The service was excellent. My waiter in particular was just incredible. I'm so sorry that I forgot his name, but when I go back I will definitely write another review on here. The entire staff were so friendly and professional. The ambiance was breathtaking. My girlfriend and I took so many pictures. If you love seafood, visit this place. I will be definitely making a return to this place again.

I had the opportunity to venture this newly open beautiful restaurant. This decor has a grand and theatrical--Versailles-style painted ceilings and walls. The food was amazing too. I especially like the lobster, crabs, grilled octopus, lamb chops and yummy Wagyu. There dishes were on point, flavorful and makes you want more. Even the Wagyu fried rice was good. I'll definitely be coming back soon. Our servers Tiffany and Jean were very attentive. This the place to have your special gatherings,girls night out, and holiday parties with their many spacious and elegant private party rooms.

What an amazing spot in the heart of Times Square! The Premium Seafood All-You-Can-Eat was beyond impressive -- everything from lobster and crab to shrimp and oysters was so fresh and delicious. Definitely one of the best seafood experiences in the city. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, with stylish décor and private rooms that are perfect for birthdays, events, or group celebrations. I love how they make it feel special, especially with their Tuesday birthday deal where the birthday person eats free with a group -- such a fun touch! If you love seafood and want a place that feels festive and unforgettable, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

The food was amazing, especially the fried rice, the raw clams, baked clams with cheese, garlic bread and their lobster with garlic butter. The place looks amazing inside, very elegant. The experience definitely has a more elevated vibe than their midtown location. They also have many private rooms for small and big groups!!
