Super Crab — Restaurant in Texas City

More like Bag O Crap!

The lobster we were served was not up to par, upon closer inspection, it was clear that the lobster had been frozen. This was disappointing, as we were told it was fresh lobster. Upon bringing this matter to the waitress's attention, she promptly denied it and assured me that she would investigate further... When she returned she stated they were live lobster once again...

I requested to see a live lobster, only to be met with further deception. She informed us that we had acquired the only two live lobsters of the day. I found this intriguing due to the timing - 12:20 pm, exactly one hour and twenty minutes post opening. Additionally, it was one of the promotional combo specials currently available.

She subsequently presented a photograph of lobsters, affirming that they were alive. She thought this visual evidence supported her claim, however, I had previously noticed the exact same image on their Google photos used for restaurant promotions.

The lack of transparency in this establishment is concerning, and we were ultimately asked to leave in a hostile manner. It is important for restaurants to be honest with their customers about the quality of their ingredients. We would not have considered spending $35.95 for frozen lobster. I am accustomed to consuming fresh lobster, and this is the poorest quality I have ever encountered. We proceeded with the payment for the meal regardless, as it was never about the money.

I made a follow-up call approximately an hour later to inquire about the availability of lobster. As I had anticipated, they did indeed have lobster in stock. Surprisingly, it appears that they promptly restocked their supply less than an hour after our departure. Proceed...

I recently visited Bag O Crab, and I must say, it was hands down one of the ABSOLUTE WORST dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I walked in, the service was nothing short of unprofessional. The staff was dismissive, inattentive, and seemed entirely disinterested in providing any form of hospitality. It took ages to get seated, and even longer to have our order taken—despite the restaurant being half-empty.

The food was another major disappointment. Not only was it poorly presented, but it was evident that it was spoiled. The seafood had a strange odor, and the taste was off—clearly not fresh. I’ve had seafood at many establishments, and this was by far the most unappetizing. When I raised my concerns to the staff, I was met with indifference and a complete lack of accountability.

What’s even more disturbing is the recent viral TikTok video circulating the internet, showcasing blatant racism from the staff at Bag O Crab. This level of behavior is absolutely unacceptable and reinforces my negative experience. It’s one thing to have poor service and bad food, but to witness discrimination on top of that is entirely unforgivable.

I would not recommend this establishment to anyone—poor service, spoiled food, and now confirmed racist behavior is simply too much. There are plenty of fantastic seafood spots that actually value their customers and maintain a standard of respect and...

I'm from Michigan. An $84.00 (with tip) meal usually involves dark mood lighting, wood paneled walls, soft music, china and unscratched silverware. So why spend that money in a strip mall restaurant with plastic forks, butcher block paper covered tables and bench seats?

Because it's bloody well WORTH IT!

Mud-bugs (crawfish) are expensive, especially this year. But occasionally you get an itch that cannot be scratched except by taking the plunge. If you're going to dip your toe there is not a better place. Crawfish are a less expensive than touristy places and the spices are incredible! You end up with this platter mounded with mud bugs, two halves of corn and a couple of small potatoes all in a balloon like steam container.

Lastly, why would I give full marks for the decor? Is because they have a huge picture of the USS Constitution taking on a French frigate. We had a quasi-war with France in 1799. How obscure can you get? (Yeah, I'm a...
