Crab 99 Bar and Restaurant

Pay your alarm bill
Losers

This is a hidden gem. The food was fantastic. Many people in my group that ordered then bags said they were better than a place we dont like to speak of (juicy seafood). I will definitely be going back for brunch. I work around the corner, so I will be trying it for lunch. The owner was very accommodating to the D9

Great Seafood boils in downtown Indianapolis.

I got the seafood boil it was so good. I go there every few months to get one.

Superb! I've lived in Louisiana and their Gumbo was delicious and authentic! We got a few boil bags and EVERY one of them were impressive! They had flavor, extras, and were reasonably priced. We visited while traveling and have yet to find another seafood place with the same standard of quality, service, and cost. I highly recommend this place!

Crappy service

I enjoyed everything about this restaurant! The food, music, service and atmosphere were outstanding! And the price of the seafood was great. I will be coming back here when I travel to Indianapolis.

They have jumbo shrimp and the sauce was delicious.

The food we had was delicious!!!! The margaritas were fantastic. The staff was amazing!! Will be going back

Since most places in the area were booked up for reservations, I was excited to find this seafood restaurant. I actually made a reservation online. The reservation email was never confirmed, so I called to follow up. I mentioned this to the gal when I called. I guess my first red flag should not have been ignored. The gal who answered said, “Huh? I don’t believe we do reservations online.” Fine, but we actually showed up after she confirmed 6 people for a reservation. You know what the gal at the front desk asked when we all arrived? “Are ALL 6 people here for your party?” Yes, all 6 of us. To make a long story short, she sat us. The hostess brought us waters and said our server would be there shortly. She never came. As a matter of fact, we very patient. It was almost sickening how many times a server walked by our table and ignored us. I guess we did not fit in. If you’re not a local, don’t go in this place. It was clear they were not into treating all people equal. Their loss. They would have made out well in tips if they just would have had some decency. We sat there 45 minutes and no one greeted us and even took a drink order.

We showed up to eat late lunch early dinner at 2 pm when they were supposed to be up. No one was there. We noticed ppl sitting on the ground inside but no lights on and door locked so we waited outside for 5 mins and called no answer. Then a guy shows up 5 mins later and says give me a few mins I am opening. Not the best first impression should have taken that as a sign to leave. Next I am from Louisiana so I know seafood and boil places. I ask for condiments to make a dip for the boil. She goes to look and tells me they don’t have the basics. So my husband goes to chick fil to get it next door. He comes back with it and she tells us we can’t have the bag on the table even though they couldn’t provide us with it to make the dip which is used for boils. He said so i can take the condiments out the bag but the bag can’t be on table ok. We order and we notice when they bring my food it’s missing the crab legs so when she comes back 10 mins later he tells her so we don’t get charged for it. She goes to grab my bowl. We say no it’s fine just don’t charge us for it. She runs to the back and comes back and says i have to take it. They gave you a pd and half of shrimp and i need to take out the extra pd and bring it back or you or you need to pay for it. I said no i am not that’s your mistake and you are not sticking your hands in it food I am eating. She goes to grab it again. I said do not touch my food. I ask to speak to a manager. She said there is not one. Then she goes to the back and yells and tells them i won’t give it to her. She finally comes back and says fine we will take it off and you won’t be charged for the half pd. The whole thing has been a disaster and we won’t be coming back here. Didn’t even eat as it’s been rude and awful service.

Drinks was trash she hired people in they that can’t make drinks food was cold/warm waited an hour to get it what you get isn’t worth the cash save your money

Our waiter was very kind and attentive, but the bartender was extremely rude and careless with her words. We were ignored multiple times, and when we addressed our treatment, she seemed to take notice. Despite her loud and disrespectful behavior, we chose to wait for our meal. She then stormed past us, stating she wouldn’t serve us, which was frustrating because I would have preferred another server. She also discussed our interaction with other customers, who later informed us of her remarks. Overall, her behavior was unprofessional and classless. I’ve never experienced such poor customer service.

At the beginning everything was great until we switch from the floor table to the bar. When we got to the bar the bartender asked for us it ID and walked away. We sat there holding are id’s for 2 mins until finally I asked for the co bartender to check our id’s. The bartender then comes back and asked us was we ready to order and we said yes. The bartender proceeds to walk away from us yet again. I then look at my cousin and was like why does she keep walking away. The bartender says because I was looking for something while be nasty and rude. I look at my cousin and said ima get the manger. I try to find the manger but he was absent at the moment. I asked the host could we move because the bartender was very rude. They eventually moved us and we spend another 25 mins waiting to be served. While we moved to another location you could hear the bartender talking about us to other customers. It was the most unprofessional thing I ever encountered in my life. Once the manger came the waiter on us but we were not compensated for the inconvenience that we endured. The food was great but the bartender was horrible and thankful at the end we had a pleasant waitress

Thank you MIYA!
My sister and i visited this place with no expectations. I’m not a big fan of seafood but my sister loves it. This place was definitely worth it! My sister loved the Boil and we both loved the Calamari. The Hennessy Marg was SOOO GOOD and we even had dessert. From beginning to end it was a great experience.

Miya was our server and she was amazing. Her recommendations were great and her service was immaculate. She would check on us constantly and she was fast. The food took the appropriate amount of time to come out and whoever was on the AUX did great.

Will definitely be back.
