This place has amazing food all the seasoning for the fried food is amazing the sauce that goes in the crab boils is also tasteful! I've never had a bad experience here regarding my food what I will say is after going there frequently I recently stopped visiting this location on a Day to Day because my drinks started to taste different the liquor started to taste cheaper and cheaper inside of the drink that I would normally get I started to quickly notice that the liquor that was used to make my FREQUENTLY ordered drinks, seemed to be a cheaper wells version other than what's listed on the menu... I'm a DRINKER / PARTY GIRL! So I know my liquor and I know when I'm being played that is my reason for not ordering drinks here anymore I continued to go because the food is always amazing but as this play Grew things started to become annoying because the owner of this location literally does micromanaging I've never been in a restaurant where a OWNER is micromanaging every single employee she literally breathes down their necks walks around all day as if she does not trust the customers or the people that she hired it's never a smile on her face it's more of an angry look when she approaches at that point I stopped going inside to eat and just started getting to go orders I feel sorry for the workers that work here because I could not work under a owner that is micromanaging everything that I do. other than that it's definitely a great place for food! as for drinks I would say beware of the liquor they are actually using in your drinks VS what's listed on the...

Dear Restaurant Management,

I am writing to express my appreciation for the excellent service provided by Miyah during my recent visit to Rocking Crab with my family. As a single mother, I have been consistently impressed by Miyah's kindness and understanding in accommodating our needs.

However, there was a disappointing moment during our visit. We had been watching the football game, but unfortunately, it was not visible from our table. Two of my daughters decided to move to an adjacent table to watch the game, and while doing so, they inadvertently occupied a table that was not reserved. At this point, a server who had not been our primary attendant that evening yelled from across the dining room, asking my children to return to their seat. I felt this interaction was unprofessional and detracted from our overall experience.

Fortunately, Miyah's exceptional service during our stay mitigated the negative impact of this incident. Her dedication to ensuring our satisfaction prevented us from leaving the restaurant unhappy, despite the inconvenience. I would like to acknowledge her hard work and commitment to providing excellent service.

We spent approximately $200 during our visit, and I was prepared to leave the restaurant dissatisfied due to the final interaction. Thankfully, Miyah's professionalism and courtesy during our stay balanced out the negative experience.

Thank you for acknowledging and addressing this issue. I hope you will pass along my appreciation for Miyah's hard work and dedication to providing...

I have never ever been more humiliated than I was tonight at this location. The manager/host Nikki is highly unprofessional and problematic. Instead of addressing us in a more classier manner she constantly picks and demeans us. We have been returning customers for years now and I find it very frustrating that she cannot respect us as consumers. She constantly walks through the establishment telling everyone’s business and discussing topics that do not give mindful at all. Every visit she has a different injury and I do believe this may be the reason why she is having a hard time maintaining her composure or possibly using her communication skills more effectively. We are paying customers just like everyone else is and I feel discriminated against. Everyone was having a great time. As we went to pay she inquired to a friend of mine why are they always so loud in front of customers that were entering and waiting to be seated. She stated that others made complaints about our table and rather asking us to lower our voices she preferred to address us in front of the entire restaurant. She became hostile and combative and argumentative. We have spent countless of dollars with this establishment and honestly the food no longer has season and is overpriced and the drinks are watered down and no longer...

Order a pound of blue crabs with a side of eggs (1) TnT Spice (2) Garlic Butter No Spice No Old Bay with Lemon Pepper. We STRESSED NO SPICE NO SPICE on (2) The server returned with our food and clearly gave us both TnT Spice! After a couple minutes I feel my blood pressure rising, I'm sweating, my mouth was burning to the point where I was rushed water, and the GM at the bar noticed the problem and me ice at the bar for my lips. I started vomiting acid re-flux. I can't have spicy food! We questioned the server when she said "Next Time Say No Spice, OH I'm Sorry You Did My Mistake". How can you make that mistake when you wrote it down and it's on my receipt? The server takes order (2) back to the kitchen and brings it back out in a DIFFERENT BAG of GARLIC BUTTER but same spicy food from before. They Refused a Refund and Incident Report. Worst Seafood Experience Ever. I was sick for days on days. I had to go to a doctor seriously.

Be mindful of your food when eating here !! I went to rocking crab today spent 55 dollars got home ate a vast almost all of my food when I noticed a long piece of golden brown/blonde hair on my potato!!! I was disgusted bc I just ate almost everything I called the establishment to speak with a manager and the manager advised me there's nothing can do for me except remake the food but who the hell wants food they just ate that had HAIR in it remade and instead of trying to really help me the manager stated " none of my cooks have long hair so it couldn't have been from here" like excuse me are you serious I have LOCS and if my food came from that establishment to me who else hair could it have been this is ridiculous im disgusted!!!

I had a wonderful experience today. Due to tragic and unforeseen news, I celebrated my 30th birthday solo today. After craving my favorite, seafood, I decided to finally try this place which is only 10 minutes from me. From the hostess to the food runners, but most particularly, my lovely server, Margie, the service was very warm and pleasant. I the raw oysters on the half shell were so plump and meaty...omg! The crawfish and blue crab with the spicy cajun were hot and delicious! I sat and enjoyed my dinner while watching my favorite reality show and almost forgot that I was not on my sofa at home relaxing for the experience was parallel. Thank you all and I can't wait to come back!
