Reviews for The Original Crab House in Miami, FL
I had high hopes for this place after reading their menu and all the good reviews. We went there when they opened on Sunday and... ordered the crab dip along with a dozen blue crabs...half in garlic and the other half steamed. The crab dip was okay, lots ofcrab meat in it. The blue crabs were very disappointing though. The seasoning was mediocre, nothing too exciting there. The mostdisappointing part was the quality of the blue crabs. They were hollow and not a whole lot of meat. And I have doubts on thefreshness of the blue crabs. Some of them have crumbling meat which is consistent with old frozen crabs. The place was notbustling at all. Only one other table was seated the entire time we were there. And there were lots of flies flying around inthe dining room and on our table while we were eating. Definitely not what we expected when looking at the raving reviews ofthis place. Read more

Great little hole in the wall place! They only have about 8 tables there, but we were seated immediately. The waiter was... incredibly nice and attentive. We shared a meal of crab legs and fries. First the fries came out and they were delicious! Reallygood crispy fries. Then the 2lbs of Alaskan king crab came out. Oh my goodness. They were delicious! It was our first timehaving long crab (which is why we splurged) and it was worth the price. You can tell it was fresh and prepared well. Thehomemade key lime pie was also lovely. We will definitely be making this a regular stop when my mom comes to visit. Well worthit! Read more
What a wonderful find in the South Miami/Pinecrest area! A trip here did not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and stop by... sometime if you love seafood and good portions of it at a reasonable price. I had the cajun shrimp with a side salad and myfriend had the same shrimp with a side of old bay fries. Not pictured was a crab dip that is a MUST DRY. It comes out hot andtopped with just the right amount of cheese and toasted French (I think?) bread on the side for dipping. The service here wasalso impeccable - I forgot our server’s name but she was kind, quick, and always pleasantly checked on us without making usfeel rushed. Read more
Small restaurant in a strip mall but the atmosphere was cute. Waiter was so friendly. Food was delicious from clam chowder to... king crab to homemade key lime pie. We're here on a quick vacation and this was a good way to get seafood. Read more
It was getting late my wife and I didn't feel like cooking do we decided to get a bite out. We do not live to far from the... restaurant, I had spotted it a few months ago,we proceeded to park and enter. First impression, not good the dirty smell of oilwas in the air and two customers were seating only,many of us in Florida love the Crab house,but this one isn't really what Ican remember from the original we exited right out. It is a case of Location, location,location. Many other businesses havefailed in the spot that they chosen and it is sad to say I don't think it will ever happen. ???? Read more
