We ordered online Sat. 8-9-25 at 6:37 pm. I had to drive 12 min? getting there, walked in at 7:05 pm. They were really confused at the front ck out station, didn't know if the back group had my order. Didn't see my online order number on the screen ?? Didn't get my food until 7:35... 58 minutes from ordering.
Another customer got the same confused look asking about his order... I told him good luck.
They were crazy busy but why tell me to pick up at 7:10 but late at 7:35 for my wife's birthday dinner... ugh

We have tried this place twice so far, and I can assure you we will be back plenty more times! Wednesday and Thursday's are crab legs for $5 a cluster! You can not beat that!!!! Staff is friendly and attentive. The garlic butter sauce is where it's at! Grab you some garlic bread and dip it in the sauce. You can thank me by giving me a thumbs up 👍 if you try it!

The best place!!! Not many restaurants pull off good food, good attitude, and even better the environment given. This place succeeded everything it could’ve. Our server, Dion, remembered our entire order of 5 people, appetizers included with no pen or paper all memory. Couldn’t have had a better experience with this place and its employees! We will be back thank you!!

We went for the 1st time today. Our waiter Tom was excellent and very friendly. The food was bland. The shrimp and grits were bad because the shrimp, cheese, and sausage were just on top of the grits instead of being incorporated into the grits. We ordered fried pickles( menu said fried pickle chips), and they brought us fried pickle spears. The fries and popcorn shrimp were definitely frozen.

My first time trying Cj’s Crab Shack. The service was amazing and the food was great 10/10 I will definitely be back. Destiny is the best waitress in the world.
Deon was AMAZING, friendly and knew the menu well! The food, welp, it was the best I've had in years! Everything was seasoned perfectly and left no room for suggestions! Will make the drive to eat there again!

I absolutely love the South! If you are ever in Gadsden, AL be sure to stop by CJ’s Crab Shack.
It's easily the best seafood boil restaurant in the area; phenomenal! And don’t forget to try Thom’s Dusty Pineapple cocktail!

GIVE DEYON A RAISE!!! That man made this experience wonderful and is the reason me and my family will be coming back. I’ve never met such a bubbly personality despite their own personal struggles and truly hope yall can promote him and let him help manage the social media pages!!!

We have been two weeks in a row, and Deon has been our waiter both times!! We have enjoyed it so much; planning to go back next week! Very delicious and savory seafood!
We went there to eat for our anniversary cause someone highly recommended it. Staff was very rude. The lady who set us instead of waiting for us to sit down, she pushes right past us because now they moved to this little bitty building. Then the food had no seasoning. I ordered the shrimp platter. There was no seasoning on it whatsoever. The sausage is like extra thick and not even cut up then instead of using the little red potatoes they use these big old bacon potatoes, and just cut them down after you got to the bottom of your bowl there was some butter and that’s not even real butter. It taste like straight oil and then if you ask for butter, they bring you out a cup of oil, my husband got the lobster and grits. The cheese grits was so stringy, but they did bring him silverware. They didn’t bring me nothing to eat with nor gloves. I had to literally sit there and let my food get cold, waiting on somebody to come by so I can ask then nobody has clean the ceiling at all. I know it’s supposed to look antique and everything that’s good, but you can see 2 inches of dust from the fans and stuff so the whole time I’m pretty much just trying to watch my food to make sure none of that stuff falls in my food even though we were sitting right slap in the middle of the place not one server come by and check to see if we needed anything else matter fact we didn’t even see our server again till she dropped the bill off and they can’t act like they were busy the place now has about 20 tables total and about eight servers
First time there today and the staff was so friendly and laughed with us and the food was 10/10. We had a small problem and they fixed it right away. It was a great experience. Can’t recommend them enough and our family will be back!!
I've never eaten here. I own a small restaurant myself. I give 5 stars because of the owners response to a negative review I saw on FB. kudos to you and wish you continued business success.
