STAY AWAY!
11/7/2025 AT 5PM When I arrived I felt it was under class, basic seating like at a fast food place. Nothing fancy which is ok. Soda's were in cans. I ordered a single boil with lobster tail and scallops. I got mine seasoned with garlic butter and the first level of spicy. Food tasted really good I enjoyed it at the time just not how we were served it. Unless it was a seafood boil it can in a paper container. I ate and when I left started feeling very sick an hour later. I've never been more sick in my life, I puked all night long. I will not be back. First and last time going to crab&grab.

Absolutely delicious seafood and sides! The shrimp, lobster, scallops and crab is cooked to perfection, flavorful and filling. We took our family size meal to - go to enjoy at home and everything was amazing! The hush puppies are excellent!!

We saw the sign! A very innocuous establishment. The atmosphere is not overly appealing. A lot of clutter, so the ambience is one of a warehouse maybe. That being said, the food was very good, the service was on point. Our server sat about 20 ft from us the whole time. I had cod and fries I e fish and chips, The calamari rings, with tartar sauce. My wife had crab and garlic corn. She had lemonade I had Pepsi. I have no complaints about the quality of the eats. Although I wouldn't recommend this for a handicap wing ding. The bathrooms are not ADA compliant. Although you can get through the front door without an issue. I know that people order delivery, and that might be an option to enjoy their cuisine.

We've been trying to find a seafood boil restaurant similar to what we experienced in Chesapeake Virginia and Crab & Grab checks all the boxes, from the bucket for your shells to the paper on the table.
Great menu and you can substitute items. The service is first rate! They make sure have a comfortable and relaxing experience
Atmosphere is friendly and inviting.

The seafood boil was bland. The crab legs were over cooked, potato under cooked, corn over cooked and shrimp was a mix of cooked well and over cooked, lobster just wasn’t good at all. They do not have fountain drinks so no refills. No dishes. They throw a bucket on
the table with some crab slicers and plastic gloves and a roll of not so great bathroom grade paper for your hands. Girl was not so attentive she would sit at the bar and play on her phone. When the bill came we had a family of 3 and a family of two so she added on gratuity to both our bills. We asked why they did that we only had 5 people and she replied I only work here I don’t know. They also add the tax amount into their gratuity charge which is unethical. I will not go back to this establishment, the entire time there were black flies flying around our food and landing in our food. There’s Cobb webs on the walls etc not really a clean place and poorly run with one waitress .

My family ordered a dish and sent it back as it didn't taste good. We were still charged for this dish even through only one bite was taken.

I had a bad experience today with this place, As we walked in we notice there was only one table occupied which usually this place isn’t packed full but it is a popular spot we’ve been coming here several times and we love it there but this young man white male curly hair I can’t seem to remember his name but also don’t think he ever mentioned it but he set the menus down on the table, I then requested a booth, the whole place was empty so I thought there wouldn’t be any issue but he suggested we keep the table he suggested and I said “please can you give us the booth the place is empty we would like to sit on the booth. There was an elder Asian lady who was very sweet I think she might be the owner or manager and she grabbed the menus out of his hands and told us we could sit in the booth she was so sweet and then the young guy (server) approached the table with a really bad attitude and asked the table if we were ready, mind you we had just sat down, regardless we ordered drinks anyways he goes to get the drinks and slam them on the table, which at that point we felt uncomfortable, got up and decided not to eat there anymore. On the way out we told the older Asian lady that her employees behavior was really rude! The place was empty I don’t know why he even had an issue with giving us the booth! and after he threw the drinks on the table I felt like this guy was either gonna spit in my food or do something to it. It was very sad because I had brought out some friends that I had recommended this place to, and they were actually exited to try a seafood boil but sadly we had to leave because of the very rude waiter. Hopefully they train him better because who’s gonna dine at a place with that type of service.
