Reviews for Crafty Crab in St. Petersburg, FL
I was very skeptical at the beginning about this place, after reading some negative reviews. But this was absolutely incredible... dining experience, we were blown away! We came for a dinner on a Wednesday evening. It was not busy at all, though it was a tinybit busier when we left. I made a reservation, but we arrived a little earlier and were seated immediately. Jason was ourserver, he was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We decided to try the large plate with everything on it, all theseasoning with mild spiciness. Seafood tasted fresh, good sized portion, and seasoned very well. We liked that the seasoning didnot overpowered the taste of food, the crab was awesome, the shrimps were huge! Loved it! 5 stars out of 5! We highly recommendCrafty Crab. For sure will be back on our next trip. Read more
Food was mediocre. Music was nice! Seafood boils/specials are pre boiled in water and then seasonings added to your bag that you... choose. The seafood doesn’t actually cook in the seasonings therefore poor flavor. Appetizers were decent. Cheese sticks notreally appealing. Pepsi products. Dr. Pepper was flat. Read more
Crafty Crab is definitely one of the better chain seafood boil restaurants. Mr and Mrs crab don’t even compare. The service... was great and the food came out quickly. I would definitely go back and recommend that you stop in! Read more
I was hoping to like this spot but it was a disappointment unfortunately. It was pricey for what you get and the crab was super... salty and overcooked. Service was subpar when not even busy. I had to ask for utensils and then again for a crab cracker. Server did not return to the table very often. Read more
Food was good. I’m giving 2 stars because clearly the the hiring manager will hire anyone. My waitress smelled like a walking... cigarette it gets even worst she had heroin track marks on her arm dirty nails and peeling skin. The young lady might be in theprocess of changing her life but it’s gross in a food environment. I asked them to switch out my waitress they went on to askme why like they didn’t already know. The replacement waitress was okay ! Am I in a rush to go back absolutely not Read more
Pretty good experience. Having it all come in a big bag was strange. Didn't seem super fresh. The king crab didn't snap like you... would expect from fresh crab. Maybe the snow crab would? It's all still good food though. We ate it all. Read more
Absolutely incredible dining experience all around! I'm a harsh critic, and I was blown away! We came for an early dinner on a... Saturday evening. It was not busy at all, though it was a tiny bit busier when we left a few hours later. Parking was no problemat all. We were seated immediately. Our server was very attentive. Dinner tasted fresh, good sized portions, and seasoned well.I highly recommend Crafty Crab. I wish I had not waited so long to try it. This restaurant is truly a gem, above all for thestellar service by all servers in the restaurant. It seems it would be easy to miss on the road with the overpass just in frontof it, so be on the lookout. You have to try Crafty Crab ASAP! You will be SO glad you did. Read more
