Crawling Crab — Restaurant in Pagedale

This was my 2nd time visiting this "Black Owned" establishment & I will continue to support "Crawling Crab"!! The parking lot was full when I went which was kind of a surprise, but it also showed what word of mouth & social media can do for a establishment in a short period of time. There was a line inside (BUT) the line was moving fairly quickly. I decided to try a "Build Your Own Nacho" & I was not disappointed at all!!. It was honestly 1 of the best portions of Nachos that I have had anywhere!!!( Remember people, this is not a Mexican restaurant!😋). I had Broccoli, Crab, Shrimp, Sausage all plentifully portioned on a nice portion of Tortilla Chips. I also had a very tasty Garlic Butter Roll. If I were to complain about something, it would be in 2 areas: #1. They need to have a P.A. Speaker System to announce orders that are ready or some kind of digital signage board that displays ur name, because the noise level was high & U could not hear the lady calling names.

#2. I would make a minor suggestion to maybe layer the toppings & sauce throughout ur Nachos instead of piling it all just on top. The flavor of the Nachos was incredible!!!👍. I don't know if it was the "Magic Dust"😋, but the Nachos are a dish that U don't want to pass up!! I would say that if this establishment continues with the atmosphere that was witnessed today on this visit, they will have to get their own stand alone building, instead of being in the 24-1 Coffee Shop. I would love to see their concept expand to other areas👍. I plan on trying the Garlic Crab Dip on my next visit & some more of those Garlic Butter Rolls & maybe a side of Banana Pudding😋. Crawling Crab Is That Good!!! Support them, U won't be disappointed or...

This was my 1st time visiting this establishment, but I can assure U it will not be my last!!👍. I ordered a Shrimp & Sausage Platter which came w/ Hand Cut & Seasoned Potatoes & Boiled Eggs. The Potatoes were cooked perfectly!👍 not under or overcooked. The Shrimp were prepared perfectly also( I've visited many of the new Seafood Boil Restaurants popping up & Crawling Crab is in the top 2 establishments as far as preparing seafood properly!!), it was not overcooked or tough & it was not over seasoned 👍. The Boiled Eggs were something different🙂. Service was extremely pleasant & professional, my order was shown to me before paying & carrying out [ 1 VERY IMPORTANT NOTE, CRAWLING CRAB IS LOCATED INSIDE OF 24-1 COFFEE HOUSE & CAFE!...IT IS NOT IT'S OWN STAND ALONE BUSINESS. BE AWARE OF THIS WHEN SEARCHING FOR THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!]... My Mother ordered a Lobster & Shrimp Platter which included the Potatoes, & Sausage, & Sweet Corn On The Cob( I gave mine to her since she lovessss Corn soooo much😋. She absolutely loved it!!🤗 & said it was better than other establishments. They included all utensils w/ our platters( Napkins, Silverware, Magic Dust, & Moist Towelettes👍). The individuals that created this establishment knew exactly what they were doing!!, the attention to the customer service & the customer being satisfied goes a long way!! & was noticed👏👍. I plan on trying the Seafood Nachos on my next visit & maybe throwing in a helping of Banana Pudding😁🤤. It is refreshing to see an establishment like this in the community & I will definitely patronize it!. Keep doing what you're doing & never get complacent!, customers desire to see an establishment like yours stay around in the community...

1st time and last time going to this place. The place ooened at 4PM and we got there at 4:50. Waited in line for 15mins with only 2 customers in front of us. We were told it would be a 30 min wait for our food. We got our food at 6PM. We weren't the only customers waiting that long. We had the seafood nachos, and crab legs and lobster platter. The taste of the food was not satisfying. A lot of sauce, but no seasonings on the platter. The sausages were not done all the way. Another customer complained. That was $40. The Deluxe nachos were $25 and had imitation crab meat. My total bill was $85 including tip, and a waste of money. For our troubles for waiting, we were offered biscuits. Fyi, something we paid for already. This place needs to step up their services and improve on their cooking. A seafood restaurant should not be selling imitation crab and charging...
