Reviews for Laughing Crab - Cajun Seafood in West Des Moines, IA

First time coming here. The service was great. The food was okay. Personally I thought that they put a little too much butter... and that took away some of the flavor of their spices. It was not crowded when we went and did not have to wait to be seated.Most of the tables are small tables, except for a few in the back that will hold bigger parties. It may be best to call ahead ifyou have a big party with you. Read more

The place is rather pleasant. Service is friendly. Food is good. Not perfect but good. Green mussels were chewy (as they... commonly are in this type of places) but tasteful. Heads off shrimps we’re simply good. For whatever reasons crawfish wastasteless. That’s sad because I usually love it. Potato and corn Cobb were very flavorful. Read more

Great food and good portions for the price u pay. Their alcoholic drinks are good as well!!! I recommend to get ur hands dirty... with them! Love love love this place! Read more

Great staff, fried shrimp over cooked. 1 lb Dungeness crab was okay. Not impressed with food presentation. Would prefer real... butter to dip instead of it being a soup of butter around crab bag. Not impressed with taste of food. Could have been so muchbetter. Read more

This place is amazing food and a great atmosphere. Food came out quickly and was cooked to perfection. We will be going back... again for sure.. Read more

The food was delicious. The waiter got a few things wrong, but he was probably new. The writing on the walls was fun. The... restaurant was clean, as were the restrooms. I highly recommend this restaurant! Read more

I have been eyeing this place for quite some time, stoped in and had my mind blown on how good the food, the atmosphere is... quaint and the drinks are to die for. It is extremely clean. The bathrooms smell fresh, neat and tidy and we will be eating heretime and time again Read more

So amazingly good! Great Prices...the fried oyster basket was $11.99 for the dinner size portion. This would have been $20 at... the waterfront restaurant down the street, 10 PCs with fries. Hubbs had the Fried Catfish/Oyster dinner size basket and it was$14.99. The clam chowder was good and was $5.99 for a bowl. Service was fast and good. Read more
