Crab House — Restaurant in Cedar Rapids

We had dinner on Thursday night and oh my goodness, it was a delicious meal!! We started with a side salad, that my husband and I shared. I ordered a side of brussel sprouts, I was very impressed with the portion size and they were amazing. For our entrées my husband ordered #3 queen of the sea and I ordered 1lb king crab and 1lb snow crab. They came out in plastic bags hot and ready to eat!! The crab was very easy to crack and remove from shell, loved that!! Last, but not least the Strawberry Cheesecake was prefect!! I intended on bringing it home so she put it on a to go box, well that doesn't work, we ate it all before we left!! I very rarely leave restaurant reviews, but I had to for the crab house!! Definitely give this place a try, my new favorite restaurant!! Thank you for making our first experience great, keep up the fabulous work!! WE WILL...

If you love seafood boils then I highly recommend this place. Or if you love seafood and have never eaten a boil. We ordered 2 different boils.

Boil 1 Low country boil (1/2 pound of shrimp, 4 sausage links, 2 corn of the cobs, 1/2 pound of crab, 2 hard boiled eggs) we finished it off with an additional 1/2 pound of shrimp and old bay butter seasoning.

Boil 2 1 pound of shrimp, 1 corn on the cob, 1 potato. Finished in the house special sauce.

These were both amazing, highly recommend.

Total bill was $74.58 plus 15% tip.

Service was fast and very easy for this being the first time I’ve ordered a seafood boil at a restaurant.

Time to table was less than 15 minutes...

Food was ok. Appears that when you ask for their "roasted brussels sprouts" it means "burnt". Had garlic shrimp and had no flavor. Not sure what the sauce was on it but it was sticky and no taste. The side salad was great....very big. Others had lobster tail and crab and both were over cooked. However, their cajun french fries were pretty tasty. Service was nothing exciting. Brought our friend's meal after the rest of us were almost done. Not sure if they forgot him or just had other orders. While bringing other dishes, they didn't take the empty dishes so you had no real room to enjoy your main entrees. For the price, think we are going to try...
