Big Al’s Crab Shack — Restaurant in Nixa

We really enjoyed the food at Big Al's! The crab and shrimp were really good, and the seasoned garlic butter drizzled on everything was really good too. It was kind of odd to get a boiled egg with the meal, but even that was good with the butter. The sausage and sides were enough to fill you up, even though there could be more crab on the plate for what you pay. Our only complaint was with how cold it was in the dining area, but when asked to turn the heat up, the friendly staff quickly did so. I would suggest wearing a coat you don't mind getting some butter on if you're eating there on a cold winter day, since you probably won't want to take it off to eat. All in all, it was a very enjoyable experience and I would recommend...

Wow! First visit, ALL staff were friendly and checked on me when I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. I had towels to dry them but anytime I wash my hands I always walk out like a weirdo and they checked to see if I needed towels.

Bought a cheesecake at the end of the meal and tossed the change in the tip bucket.

Feel like these guys do a good job being friendly and concerned about the guests.

We got the Big A platter and added a crab cluster. Plenty for two people and with drinks was like $42.

Food was amazing, staff were on point, so happy to have this place to go to when we have a seafood craving!

Good job...

I can't believe that we have an authentic crab shack in Ozark, MO, smack in the middle of the country! The food was amazing! It's spendy, but that's because good seafood is not cheap! The crab legs and shrimp were cooked perfectly and the side of corn, sausage and potatoes were just unbelievable! I could eat my weight in just the shrimp and potatoes. I hope they will have crawfish and/or blue crabs in the future when they are in season. We will definitely be back soon. The only drawback, which isn't important enough to lose a star, is that there are no fountain drinks; they just have bottles of soda...
