Because of this listing and the reviews, we drove 10 miles to find that it’s a warehouse and pick up only. We asked the man there where the restaurant was and he said that there was no sit down area. Poor advertising.

They are (were) authentic... Sadly, it appears I've had my last best meal this afternoon. I've been informed that they're closing their doors for hood tonight ... So sad!!!

We were recommended to this restaurant and it was definitely worth it to come here. Everything was delicious, the waiter is ver knowledgeable, patient and very good. We got the calamari for an appetizer, it was delicious, lightly breaded and a lot of flavor. My husband got the whole fried snapper which he said was delicious and he's very picky. I got the pasta with shrimp and scallops that was delicious. It had a delicious creamy sauce that was very light, nice size shrimp and scallops and a good amount of each. It was a big serving. It came with a side salad that was a nice sized salad and we also got garlic bread which was delicious!!! I would I highly recommend this place. I hope more people find this place, it was very quiet for a Saturday night and I hope they can stay in business.

It was getting late my wife and I didn't feel like cooking do we decided to get a bite out.We do not live to far from the restaurant, I had spotted it a few months ago,we proceeded to park and enter.First impression, not good the dirty smell of oil was in the air and two customers were seating only,many of us in Florida love the Crab house,but this one isn't really what I can remember from the original we exited right out.It is a case of Location, location,location. Many other businesses have failed in the spot that they chosen and it is sad to say I don't think it will ever happen. ?

Yummy! Massive amounts of crab to cater to your cravings! Service was fast and polite! Even opened the doors a bit early for us! Had the conch fritters, garlic blue crabs, and the crab sampler. Both with new potatoes and corn. Crab was outstanding ( got mine with malt vinegar and old bay). They also serve beer and wine...we had a Blue Moon and a Modelo. Definitely recommend. Will stop back whenever we are at Miami International Airport!

I had high hopes for this place after reading their menu and all the good reviews. We went there when they opened on Sunday and ordered the crab dip along with a dozen blue crabs...half in garlic and the other half steamed. The crab dip was okay, lots of crab meat in it. The blue crabs were very disappointing though. The seasoning was mediocre, nothing too exciting there. The most disappointing part was the quality of the blue crabs. They were hollow and not a whole lot of meat. And I have doubts on the freshness of the blue crabs. Some of them have crumbling meat which is consistent with old frozen crabs. The place was not bustling at all. Only one other table was seated the entire time we were there. And there were lots of flies flying around in the dining room and on our table while we were eating. Definitely not what we expected when looking at the raving reviews of this place.

The food is tasty but a little pricey. Not sure if I would go back. It's such a nice location wish I could say I liked it better. Service was good not great.

The best seafood in Miami! We ordered a few different foods to try and we liked all of them. It has a very pretty decoration and the owners are very nice, kind and attentive

I ordered the whe fried fish today and I am very disappointed. As a native Floridan I have eaten plenty of fried fish, today I was severely disappointed. My fish tasted freezer burnt. It was a fried snapper but, the meat was Grey and off tasting. If we were in the mid west I could understand older fish that has maybe been sitting in a freezer but, this is south florida. Seriously do better!

Best lobster bisque I've had in a long time. The garlic breads were a great addition.

All I can say is there's was nothing left!! We had very specific orders, and everything came in exactly right. The food came out hot and fresh. The waiter was very pleasant and the chef put his foot in it!!! You won't go wrong with anything you order.
