Crafty Crab

The snow crab was perfect, juicy, and easy to peel. We ordered the seasoning mix. I think they call it "The Boom." The fried calamari was very good, as were the chicken wings and gumbo. The only thing that wasn't so good was the scallops. Services were good.

Crafty Crab in League City TX is amazing! The food is 5 star! It is delicious every time we go. Crawfish, crab, shrimp, scallops... everything we have had, we love!! Service is prompt and servers are friendly. We will revisit! Definitely a must try restaurant.

Great place! We had Valentine's Lunch the day after Valentine's. Enjoyed the atmosphere and extra touches like the balloon arch. The snow crab & shrimp boil was great! My husband had fried oysters and fries. Bonus for us was to watch NASCAR races going on for Daytona on the big screen! Will definitely be going there more often. Staff was nice and service was good.

We went there after leaving the Great Wolf Lodge in Webster....Crafty crab was amazing, and Stella, our server, was wonderful! I will definitely go back again soon!

This is the best crawfish I’ve had and I’m born and raised in Louisiana. I’ve been in Houston 5 years and this is the best hands down. So juicy and fresh every time! I get them twice a week at least.

very good season with both garlic and cajun and i love how heavy seasoning it has，personally i think is better than bb seafood if you like heavy seasoning you will love it here!

Loved loved LOVED! The seafood boil we got was the Large Seafood Platter and were more than satisfied for 2 people. The crabs were meaty, shrimp was poppin and the potatoes very well cooked and seasoned. I will definitely be eating from this branch again in another location and coming with another review ♥️

We love this place. The crawfish and all their seafood is just out of this world!

Visited on Friday at lunchtime with family for a celebration! Interior was spacious with ample seating. We ordered: Fried shrimp basket with onion rings Combine em B. Snow crab & whole shrimp with the boom seasoning Snow crab legs 1 pound with the boom seasoning 3 pounds crawfish with the boom seasoning Each seafood boil bag came with a bib, gloves, and tools. The food was flavorful, and we were so satisfied by the end of our meals! Didn't get the opportunity to snap pics of the seafood boil bags because we were busy enjoying them.

We went for Mothers Day and got service so horrible that we left and went to another establishment. We waited for almost a half an hour before anyone said anything to us and we got a lame excuse that the guy covering our section could not be found!?!?! Will not spend my money at Crafty Crab ever!

Where should I start I have only been to this place twice. 1st time I went it took us 10 minutes to be seated and it was not busy and then took another 15 minutes to even be approached. Mind you you're going to be paying about $50 dollars a person for this kind of service. The waitress was nice once she approached I got the lobster tail boil she asked if I wanted to add broccoli and mushrooms I said yes and my husband ordered 1/2 lb of shrimp with sausage, rice, and hush puppies and we each had 3 beers, total $125. We thought this was reasonable and the boil and shrimp were great! The food is what made us come back shortly for a 2nd time and this is where I have a problem with them and will not come back! I will add my second time receipt and you can see for yourself why we questioned the bill. Also, management did not do anything but act like they understood my frustration! Also, said that the receipt was itemized clearly not but just so everyone knows it's 5.99 add on charge for mushrooms and 5.99 add on charge for broccoli! Outrageous!!! Don't go to the place read the reviews I am not a bot and have no reason to lie about my situation. I have a google review and can see how the management team replied to that and right there should show you alone what to prepare yourself to walk in to.

Great ambiance, great food, amazing seasonings, good service! They also have the best sweet tea in Texas! A little pricey but you can build your own to fit your budget. 10/10 recommend!

I finally made it here after looking to try it out for some time now. I order the lobster boil special. This meal was so delicious...I just wish I had a heat level a tad above mild and not super spicy. The butter sauce and potatoes were really good and lobster was ok, not the best I've had. Overall, looking forward to coming back soon.

Absolutely fabulous food and service. Worth every penny spent. Best Gumbo this side of New Orleans. Will return again and again.

Meh. Not bad in any way. Also, nothing special. The service here is wonderful, as is the clean atmosphere. The food is OK too. If you're into Cajun stuff, you'll give this place eight stars. (They are really good at what they do.) Though everything came out fresh, including my fried combo basket, I just felt ... unimpressed. If you're into Cajun spiced stuff that comes to the table in an inflated bag, you'll love this joint.

Good service and good food! The fried pickles i won't order again but the oysters, cheese sticks, and wings i will. Very spacious place and clean.

We came in at 9:17 and Google Maps said they close at 10:00. They then told us they couldn't sit us and that dine-in seating closed at 9:15. They sat the people who walked in right in front of us, but not us. I don't know why 2 minutes matters that much, but now my kids and I are at a much better place with great service. If I could rate it 0 stars I would

Definitely a 3 star place, just okay. My wife and I have been here several times. She likes the crawfish, and I have something else. I've been reasonably happy with the boiled crab (pretty good), though yesterday I had the fried catfish (on the oily side, my stomach wasn't happy). On the plus side, you can get an adequate cocktail here, which I find makes the noise tolerable. Once a waiter gets to the table the food comes out quickly. Yesterday both men's and ladies restrooms were pretty disgusting. Definitely room for improvement.

Love it every time we have lunch here!! If you're looking for a great place for some seafood boil, and at a great price..you found it!!

Great seafood specials try it. You will be pleased if you like spicy. Enjoy a good meal

The first time I went here was around the time when this location first opened. I was not really impressed and I can say that I have had better boiled seafood elsewhere. During this visit, my mother ordered the snow crab special which consists of 2 crab clusters, 1/2 lb of shrimp, 2 corn, 2 potato and 2 eggs. The boil was not lacking flavor at all, perfect amount of spice, not overly spicy.. but one thing I did not like was the taste of celery seasoning on the crab. Since I was not in the mood for boiled seafood, I ordered the fried shrimp and onion rings for myself. They only gave about 5 onion rings which does not make sense to me... but the fried shrimp was fried and seasoned well and they were deveined, which I appreciated. I would definitely order this again.

Had late lunch here for friend's birthday. Atmosphere we didn't really care for huge TV and we were seated right in front of it, glaringly bright. Might be good to ask if customers are interested in watching sports...just a thought. Service was EXCELLENT, server was great and covering multiple tables and a very large 20+ person party and she was so nice, friendly and efficient! Our food was good crab cakes a little over cooked, but still ok on the inside, garlic butter Boiled blue crabs fantastic, fried catfish and o ion rings perfectly cooked. Bonus...our server brought key lime pie when I mentioned it was my friends birthday! I thought pricing was reasonable and over all we really liked it and will be back!

Loved this restaurant! Food is delicious! Their crab boil has a twist of its own and recommend this restaurant to everyone who likes seafood!

Really good spot four seafood! I like that you can customize what you want in your bag and the type of seasoning you want. Very tasty!

The food was cooked perfectly crabs, shrimp and potatoes in the medium heat sauce. Portion was good for the price. Can't wait to go again.

It was my 2nd visit, first time was back when it first opened. The place is nice and service was good. I got the crawfish and shrimp with the boom sauce and fire spice level. The crawfish and shrimp were extremely bland, where was the spice and seasoning? We even asked for extra seasoning, and it tasted like straight mild cayenne pepper, zero salt. Shrimp were also overcooked. Too many better options out there and for cheaper. ‍

first time there place was nice not sure about service I placed my food to go my claws were cold on the tips and a little I'm the middle sauce was salty I got buttery garlic and potatoes rotten I have reached out by email multiple times and still nothing this was in Mid February

First time here and it was good. The BOOM seasoning was great on our order. I also had fried oysters which was good. The place is pretty spacious and there's a HUGE projector so probably a good place to eat some cajun seafood and watch sports. Our server was nice and the portions were plenty. Give them a shot if you're in the area and craving some cajun seafood!

Amazing food and service !! Highly recommended and will be coming back soon!! 10/10 I got the spiciest and x it by 5 was perfect.

Celebrating my cousin's birthday with family and friends. I ordered the catfish and shrimp combo with corn on the cob. It was good. I also had sweet tea.

My son and I went there last Sunday, I asked to be seated at a booth, the host said, there are none available. She placed us in the middle aisle, we sat there for half an hour; no one came to our table to greet us or show concern. I looked to the area ahead of where I was sitting; there were several booths available. I waved to the waitress who was going back an forth, she said, in a not do welcoming voice, I am busy just one moment. The person who seated us realized we had not been serve, she went over to the waitresses standing around, spoke with them; then came over to us and asked if there was anything she could get us? I said, all this time we have been here no one greeted us, I have lost my appetite. Oh I am sorry, we don't know where your server is; but all those server standing there and no one thought to ask us if there was anything they could get us. Tell your manager for me service stinks. The other person they sat on the table next to was also black, and was kept waiting for service. We left refusing to spend our money!

Lousy service, food is even worse. Bringing it to the staff's attention was met with they could care less.

The food was so good I dream about it today. The service was good and efficient. The ambiance was good for a large restaurant.

We go weekly to get my fix but missed our regular Fri night date due to a previous engagement. Visited Saturday, Sept 14th and our waitress Erica was the BEST! She bought things to the table without us needing to ask... hubby was impressed and he never does so I had to give a review. Of course we'll be back and hope to see Erica again!

I have been on a boiled shrimp kick for the last few months, trying them at different restaurants when I can find them. So far, Crafty Crab has had the best seasoned and prepared, good enough to eat plan actually. Even compared to some higher-end seafood restaurants. I can admit, I was very pleasantly surprised. The place gets packed on a weekend night, so I suggest you go a little early if you don't want to wait. It also appeared on our visit, that the larger the group, the longer the wait. Service was good, especially considered how busy they were.

We were not impressed by the food or the service. My husband said he will never go back. I would try it again to see if it got better since it is nearby.

Love this place it great for small and large groups!!! And a great hot waiter!!! He knows he cute !!! sweet heart too

Soo good it was rlly good and the service aMAZING I found my midnight snack I'm going here every weekend

Was really disappointed with this place, we heard a lot of great things about it so we had high expectations. Service was meh, I asked for a French 75 and they said they could do it but it was awful. Our server noticed that I didn't like it so she offered to get me something else so I ordered the lemon drop. We ordered fried shrimp with onion rings and fries, it was pretty good, fries were the best part of our whole meal! Onion rings tasted frozen. Tarter sauce was weird. We got some steamed snow crabs which were over cooked, scallops too and they were not bad. We ordered all three sauces on the crab and a different one on the scallops but everything tasted the same. Needless to say we won't be going back, there was nothing that wowed us. Ambiance is a little strange, very big dining room with big TVs and a wall of lights that seems to belong in a club.

Not a buffet didnt have a good crab taste. Too spicy. Cooked too much. Had a hard time getting the crab out. Will not go back.

Not impressed. Server never smiled, was very blah. Crab was tasteless. Very disappointed. ​

Last night we went in for the first time. We are new to the area and my husband was really wanting seafood. The food was warm and he said very good. Service left a lot to be desired as our server took our order and disappeared for the majority of the night. Took about 15 minutes after the hot seafood was dropped off the get the tools needed to open the crab. Refills for drinks took a wee bit as well. The restaurant only had 3 other families dining in so they were not busy at all. A few workers walking around, constantly looking at our area (I believe one was Travis, it was a little weird) but never stopping to see if we needed anything and etc. We are good tippers but found it interesting that our server chose to pick gratuity and give herself a $30 tip when she wasn't around all night and no one else helped us... I have never in my life seen a place count a baby (10 months old), especially when they didn't eat. Very odd. I think the main highlight for me was seeing my favorite movie, Hocus Pocus, on the large tv but other than that for me with the lack of service, inconvenience and etc we probably won't be back, especially not until the baby can actually eat since they do count infants. Did speak to a manager and they didn't address the lack of service or anything last night, just pretty much confirmed it's a head, the servers count heads and put it into the computer regardless if they are eating.

Love the food especially the steamed items. The service is "Great"!! Totally enjoy it all!

Very big roomy place, especially for a big party. Food was good and well flavored. Ordered crawfish, shrimp, crab, the works. Order came at a reasonable time. Our waitress was very friendly and was attentive to our needs.

Don't be fooled by the pictures on the website of crafty crab. It will not be what you get when you order it. Be sure to make sure you know what you're buying. Because you may not get what you thought you were going to get on to go orders

The food wasn't too bad but the portions weren't good unless you payed for your sides. Slow service with workers standing around with a full restaurant only four tables sat. Bathrooms were horrible!! Couldn't use! And I from out of town treated my family to this mess!

The snow crab with garlic butter medium spice is amazing. Always get hush puppies on side to dip in the sauce. They should make garlic bread to dip in the sauce. Hate to waste. My dad and I always come here every chance we get. I am truly surprised by how slow this place is. It's pricey but the taste and portion is great. Staff is always friendly and quick. Very large place that can accommodate large parties and tv's on every wall to watch games.

Food was ok. Their boom sauce had a strong celery taste to it. Service was great! I think they over quote on their wait times to get people to leave. We were quoted 45 minutes and so was everyone else coming in after me... some people left and others stayed. The wait time for everyone was really 10-15 minutes.

The beautiful Miss Victoria took my order and it was exactly what I asked for. The service was fast, the place was clean an I would come back over and over. I luv this place! The food was also very hot to say I ordered before they closed.

So good!!! And the service is wonderful. Highly recommend. Quality food and the wait staff is friendly

I ordered the shrimp and fries and it was so good. I will order that again on a future trip. Aside from that staff was friendly, and had good theming inside the restaurant.

I opted for the medium seasoning and definitely could've gone spicier but the flavor profile was delicious. The specials were more than enough for one person and we ended up with a lot of leftovers! The restaurant was fun and had a lot of seating. Service was great, pricing wasn't bad at all, I would totally recommend if your looking for a boil!

Delicious seafood in spicy Cajun seasoning! Get "the boom fire" - it's not too spicy but great flavor!

First time visiting with a group of 8 after church. I liked the ambiance and decor. We all enjoyed our seafood. None of us liked the side dishes we ordered...fries, sweet potato fries, corn. Our waiter was not very pleasant. It was strange that you had to ask for everything extra. Ie No cocktail sauce was served with the fried shrimp, no cracker to help eat the crab legs, no utensils at all, no drink refills unless you asked and waited for them. Another strange thing was everything was served on paper plates. Utensils, when we finally got them, we're plastic. Everything tasty but very messy with no naps, bibs or gloves...unless you asked. I doubt if we will be back.

The food is amazing. The waitress was attentive, and on point. Unfortunately, the floors were dirty, and the restrooms were worse. You have a great product , and crew, but a dirty restaurant, will sorry any diner Hope you see this, as I would be more than happy to review it again.

We had fried shrimp, gumbo, crab cakes, hush puppies, coleslaw. Fried shrimp was good. Presentation was cheep. Gumbo was good. Styrofoam bowl. Crab cakes were lacking. Styrofoam plate. Coleslaw almost good. Very dry. Needed more sauce. Styrofoam bowl. Hush puppies had good flavor, buy were not cooked in the middle. Styrofoam bowl. The meal was also served with cheep plastic forks an spoons and forks. All the food came out on what is usually used for a bus boy cart. It was dirty. Disappointed.

I've been wanting to try this place and finally got the chance to last night. The atmosphere is fun, place was clean, bathrooms are nice. Now let's get to the food! OMG, the boom sauce is phenomenal! I got a "small" platter which has crab, crawfish, shrimp, mussels, clams, potatoes, and corn. You can easily share this, don't be fooled by the name- small! Everything was delicious. I wasn't a fan of the old fashion cocktail but their espresso martini was on point. Definitely will be going back!
