Red Crab Juicy Seafood — Restaurant in Brockton

The Service:

Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The waitress took time to explain the menu options as it’s not intuitive you can mix the daily specials. The restroom was tidy. I appreciated the waste can at the exit to dispose of your paper towel used to touch the door handle.

The customer service was truly a refreshing experience. My order was delivered timely and at the perfect temperature.

Oh My Boil:

The crab legs were fine, a bit overcooked making them lose the signature sweet undertones and juiciness. The shrimp was fine too, they had a firm chew but wasn’t off putting. The potatoes were cooked perfectly; the sausages were industry standard in flavor and quality; the corn was just that.

I opted for the medium heat special sauce. I enjoy spicy foods, but I wanted to mainly experience the flavor profile. I would categorize their medium spice level as American spicy because it’s an immediate kick with lingering heat.

The flavor of the special sauce was confusing and a bit salty. Too much yet not enough was happening leaving me only tasting heat, salt, and garlic.

The garlic noodles by themselves were meh, but adding the special sauce resuscitated the dish.

The value:

Menu items are priced very well; the seafood boil selections are slightly below industry standards. The portions align with the price tag, and the service I received created a returning customer to sample other items.

UPDATE:

On my return visit I had the shrimp boil lunch special opting for only the Cajun sauce with added sausage. The sauce, albeit skimpy, was flavorful and spiced just right. The texture of the shrimp mirrored my last visit. I also ordered onion rings which were standard in taste and preparation.

Overall, an enjoyable seafood lunch at a great price with good customer service...

I wanted to like this place since I had read positive reviews. Unfortunately, from start to finish, this experience was one I shall not repeat.

From the smell of marijuana upon entering the outer door of the restaurant, I should have registered the foretelling of how the rest of the dinner would go.

The place is cavernous, with a lively bar scene, and this night they were showcasing NCAA March Madness games. The patronage seemed to be enjoying themselves. I wish I could say the same.

Our waitress was initially pleasant, but became increasingly annoyed and annoying. She seemed anxious to get our orders in, and therefore returned too quickly to the table too many times, to take both the drink orders - I hadn’t even had a chance to pick up the drinks menu before she had appeared at the table - and then the food. She wasn’t the worst, but she definitely would benefit from proper training in serving…and masking her annoyance at patrons.

The food was barely mediocre: my crawfish and black mussels boil was overall disappointing, with the best part being the lone red potato and diminutive corn on the cob. The mussels were tasty, but the crawfish were unforgivably bad. They were, in a word, tasteless, obviously frozen (which I should have known since they’re not native to New England; ordering them was my own folly, in retrospect).

The individual Scorpion Bowl was just “not good” and had a surprisingly medicinal taste.

My sorority sister said her catfish was alright, but unseasoned. She had told me that she’d ordered take-out from there (the fried shrimp) a few times before and liked it.

In cases where the service and the general atmosphere of a restaurant leave something to be desired, I might opt for take-out. In this case, this restaurant and I are never...

Went here for the first time, drove past it before so i put it on the check list. Was craving snow crab legs and black muscles. I ordered a half pound of each to go with garlic butter and lemon pepper sauce mild. Had a sprite to go while i waited. Nice dine and bar if you want to eat out. Wait wasn't long before i left they ask if i needed a refill but i was good. Got home and it came with gloves and wrapped in two platisc bags for the heavy sauce which didnt leak. I used both of them as liners with the brown bag and threw away the trash inside the lining which was neat lol. So overall my meal was five out of five nice and warm and the sauce...
