Family & Crab — Restaurant in Waukegan

Okay, this is my second time trying Family & Crab, and when I see something I like, I literally stick to that from the menu every time I find a good restaurant. So that is what this review will be based off of.

The pasta and vegetable rice, both with sausage, are really good. The first time, I ordered them with shrimp, and added sausage, and that was good too. Today, both dishes were a bit on the drier side, but nothing a little splash of water couldn't fix. And although really good, I did have to season up my pasta a little bit more today. Between the two, I like the rice more. And lastly, my God today, I tried their crab ragoons, and baby, those were the best damn ragoons I've had in my entire life, literally! I'm kind of hesitant about sharing that tidbit because I don't want them to be sold out the next time I visit to get some, but oh well, the public must know they are that good! 🤣🤣🤣

Any who, that concludes my review of Family...

Family & Crab exceeded all expectations. From the warm ambiance to the god send manager Javy made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. Each dish was flavorful and left us wanting more. The teamwork here is remarkable. We were impressed by how the staff coordinated to handle a busy evening while keeping everything running smoothly. The ambiance here is simply stunning. The walls are adorned with beautiful art, and the lighting is perfect for photos. Definitely a feast for the eyes!! If you are in the area please do the world a favor; stop in to Family & Crab, say hi to Javy, and be prepared for an amazing dining experience! 100000/10 recommend. This place put the perfect staff together and they should not change a thing! Kuddos hiring team! Don’t believe my wife & I?, check it out for yourself and then come talk to us. Thank you again Jav you made our visit to Illinois the most memorable. Hope to see...

5+5+5+5🌟 Our server was a very polite young man named Ethan. He was very enthusiastic. My wife had a snow crab and shrimp boil, she also had a pineapple and green tea drink. I had the haddock and chips, and calamari starter. I had a Sprite to drink. All in all, I would have to give it a double thumbs up. 👍🏽 Atmosphere was quite interesting, the facility was very clean, and the bathrooms were spotless. That bodes well for the quality and cleanliness of the food and the kitchen itself. I would recommend this establishment. I've seen more and more of these crab houses, and they really are very nice. I also like the idea that this establishment gives you these curved scissors to use along with the shell cracker. That makes it much easier to remove the shell and get to the meat....
