We love this place, and the food. We’ve Been here multiple times. But today 7-11-2025, we showed up at 9:10pm and were excused out the door because the front greeter stated to us that they stopped dinning at 9pm. The waitress in-front of him looked like she felt bad and was wanting to sit us down, but the male greeter gave her a grin. The Hours for this place is 11am-10pm. What a way to loose business right at your door! Very disappointed with this !
Went tonight for dinner and had a great time. There was a little bit of a wait, so we decided to sit at the bar. Our bartender was the best part of the night. Her name was Alliane and she was awesome. Not only did she do great waiting on us, she was constantly helping the new employees and giving them tips on how to be the best server. She also introduced some new drinks to us that were delicious. (not sure what it was called but tasted like a dum-dum sucker.) And of course food...read full review

The Laughing Crab - Cajun Seafood is a great place for a seafood dining experience. The deluxe boil, featuring the house flavor, is a must-try and is cooked to perfection. Appetizers such as hush puppies and cheese sticks are also available and fried just right. For dessert, guests can enjoy a delicious piece of cheesecake. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere with good music and attentive servers who provide excellent service and make sure guests are satisfied. The bartenders also offer a variety of delicious drinks. Be sure to try the "dum-dum sucker" drink. Guests can create their own with blue crab and black mussels. The deluxe platter with garlic butter sauce and house seasoning is the best combo. It fed four people with leftovers. The restaurant may have a wait for a table, but it's worth it. Overall, the Laughing Crab - Cajun Seafood is a great choice for a hands-on, interactive dining experience.
