Best KPortal Reviews

Went for dinner after work, the food was okay. The corn tasted a little old, there was a crab leg cluster that tasted old. Overall it was just okay. The service was also just okay, they came and helped once we sat down but they never came back till we were done eating. The garlic fries were really good. They only have canned modelo micheladas they dont make them in house. Kickin crab is a little farther and pricier but it's worth it
Not sure about the other reviews, but I've always received good service since I started patronizing The Crab Shack 4-5 years ago. On my most recent visit, we were seated quickly and the food came in a timely manner. The staff was also very attentive and met all of our needs.
Now onto the food, it is very reasonably priced even when it fluctuates based on "market price". The taste is very flavorful and the spiciness is just good enough to enjoy where you're not sweating bullets. Their shrimps tend to be above average size and tastes very sweet. FYI: 1 pound of shrimp is about 20 shrimps. Make sure you add corn & sausages!
Plenty of free parking in the plaza (can get busy sometimes). Minus one star because this isn't the best cajun style seafood place I've had and the shrimps aren't always the freshest (you can tell by how easily the shell is to peel). When ordering fries + beer + shrimp, expect to pay $40-45 per person. Highly recommend and I will be returning!
I like getting seafood from here!! Though I have to say the crab doesn’t always taste fresh. The crab shack sauce is the to go to! Medium or spicy. Also you can't forget forget to order the calamari! With the sauce.????
Went there for a friend's birthday and The prices have gone up a lot but let's start off with ordering ordering. My friend wanted hot water and lemon they had no hot water. I ordered a unsweetened tea which didn't taste too much like anything. They didn't have any sweetener so I just end up ordering a Diet Coke. I ordered a pound of garlic butter shrimp and snow crab with 3 corns & potatoes with the mild spice on the side. My friend ordered 1 of the combos 1pound of snow cab and 2 pounds if shrimp and that comes with 2 corns, potatoes and sausage. The food was delicious they don't do anything special if it's your birthday but it's cool. Our waitress was very nice and pleasant.
The food was tasty but I think they use adobo. I couldn't figure out quite what the taste was but I think it's a double but nothing less. The shrimps were too small. For $102 I expected better. I have gone to better boil crab places but I don't think I'll be going back to this one. It's more or less a sports bar. It's family atmosphere but it was not my kind of place. The service was lacking their young people but all in all it's not bad. But I still like to know the prices up front of what the market prices are. At least give me. some kind of idea or comfortability that what I'm spending my money on is I'm getting my money's worth. Sorry, no photos. I wasn't in the mood to take any
Great food. Had the special #2. Shrimp, potatoes and spicy sausage ????
First of all I came in on my birthday when door open for service we were seated and then we waited and waited for a waiter/waitress finally there’s to many young people no supervision being a Food Service Manager I watched a waiter/worker wearing gloves working with lemons going in the back coming in front with same gloves doing other duties never changing his gloves where’s food service certificate and training he cross contaminated with those gloves three times they need more training and a experience adult to watch over them this was my worst birthday meal ever
Althoigh the AC was down, it was qorth the sweat!! This place was amazing! The food was phenomenal. I've been to many "crab shacks" but this one by far has the best flavors, seasonings and sides! And the ladies working there were amazing also!
