Food - we ordered their promo: 1 1/2 kilos of steamed crabs with garlic butter sauce on the side for P2500. The promo includes a free large platter of seafood in our choice of seasoning (also garlic butter). The steamed crabs were a mix of male/female with shells 4 -5 inches across. They were very fresh as they were just taken from the lobby display case of live crabs before steaming. The platter of seafood in garlic butter sauce included a very nice selection of crabs, mussels, clams and squid. The dish was very nicely seasoned. The servings of mixed seafood platter and steamed crabs were so big that we were only able to eat less than half of the mixed seafood platter. We had to take home the remaining mixed seafood and all the steamed crabs home.
They have other promos. Suggest you call ahead to find out which promos are available.
Service - we were seated right away when we arrived. Staff took our orders and the dishes served within 20 - 30 minutes. Service was attentive throughout.
Atmosphere - this branch is the largest, and the design was open and airy. Tables were clean, and each table was wrapped in plastic before each meal.
Overall - great dining experience; you get good value for the...

The crab was really meaty and full. The roe was brimming from its shell and tasted absolutely good. The chicharon bulaklak (pork flowers) was done well and had a good flavor and crunch to it. The baked mussels were great as well. However, the kilawing tuna (raw tuna with vinegar) could have been improved. The sauces buttered garlic and chili sauce were good enough to make a meal of.
The service was impeccable and while the service struggled with the volume of customers, they worked hard to keep everyone satisfied and it clearly shows. Crabs N Crack is a good place to eat. There are a lot of places where it could improve that would make take this place from good to great but as it is I would...

We ordered a combo that included a 1.5kg crab and seafood platter, plus a 1kg shrimp platter. It also came with 5 servings of rice, iced tea, and leche flan.
