Thanks for wasting my gas
JAY MY WAITER WAS GREAY
Shout out to Jay . He took great care of me and my family for my grandmothers birthday. You were phenomenal, professional and cool.
We got a crab boil bag. It was very flavorful and a very healthy serving size! The only thing - and it was understandable because it was late evening - was that we ordered hush puppies and had to replace them with fries. We're definitely ordering from them again and getting the hush puppies - hopefully. Everything was ready so quickly! Loved it!
Amazing, bartender and wonderful crowd. We stumbled upon line dancing night.đ
Good food all the time.
I recently visited your establishment over the weekend of May 24â25 to celebrate a friendâs birthday. Iâd like to begin by highlighting the excellent service provided by our waitressâa Black female staff memberâwho delivered outstanding customer service throughout our visit. She was attentive, friendly, and truly enhanced our dining experience.
I ordered the lemon pepper wings, well done, which were flavorful and cooked to my preference. I also ordered a margarita made with Jose Cuervo; however, I found the drink to be unusually weak and ended up having to modify it myself to achieve a more balanced flavor.
In addition, I ordered a snow crab boil bag that included two snow crab clusters, potatoes, corn, and broccoli. While the side items were satisfactory, I was extremely disappointed with the condition of the snow crab legs. They had visible black hairs, which was both unappetizing and concerning. I had never encountered anything like that before, and it significantly diminished the quality of the dish.
After doing some research, I learned that black spots or hairs on snow crab legs are often barnacles or other harmless external organisms. While they may not pose a health risk, their presence suggests that the crab legs were not properly cleaned before being served. This level of oversight is unacceptable for a seafood restaurant and reflects poorly on food preparation standards.
As a result of this experience, I have decided not to return or order from any Crafty Crab location in the future. Proper food handling and presentation are essential, and in this case, they fell short. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used to improve food safety and quality control measures moving forward.
We had a very good experience. The food was great đđ˝

My daughter and I dropped a friend nearby this restaurant. We are not from this area. We wanted seafood and google showed they had âThe Crafty Crabâ restaurant within a few miles of where we were. Weâve eaten at The Crafty Crab multiple times but at different locations. Upon entering this establishment, there were posted signs taped to the doors that read, âNo weapons allowed.â We enter and see two men with medical mask on seated behind a desk and one states âyâall dining in,â we reply, yes please. Immediately an Asian slender man wearing a baseball cap & jeans comes to the front and leads us to a not so well lit area in the restaurant where others are seated eating. We sit at our table and wait for our waitress. The decor in the restaurant is nice, but again it was too dark for my liking, I want to see my food. The music playing in the restaurant was okay as they played Rod Wave songs the entire time we were there, but it was so loud we could barely hear our waitress. Also, our waitress seemed high off somethingâŚshe didnât seem focused and it appeared like she was afraid or very timid. As our waitress is taking our order the same Asian man comes behind her and begins to fuss at her for taking long to take our order. She takes our order and before she can send it to the cook or kitchen, he angrily instructs her to take the next table order. Other waitresses came out half dressed like they were in a club and he began yelling at them. They also, appeared to be high off something and timid as well. At this point, the slender Asian dude behavior was given Angry Bird vibes, like he really needed to chill. We saw (2) men of color working the bar area and he wasnât screaming at them and they were getting many ppl beverages wrong. As we waited for our food, I noticed more signs posted of âNo weapons allowedâ on the walls where we were seated. The seafood boils and drinks came out quickly but the sauce was too salty and we both ordered the boils in Medium flavor with the Boom Sauce. Anyway, we decided to take our food to go after being there for 20 minutes. The vibe was ghetto and seemed suspicious. After we paid for our food, we attempted to use the restroom; we couldnât do it. The restroom was darker than the restaurant, was filthy, funky smelling, the floor was wet and there was a plunger in the middle of the floor! We threw our barely eaten food in their trash can and left.
Eat here at your own risk!
Parking: Parking is plenty as the restaurant is located in Liberty Heights plaza.

my crabs tasted like the ocean, it was so unbearable. I thought it would get better as i kept eating it but it just got worse.
I have always wanted to try Crafty Crab as well as support my neighborhood restaurant BUT $30 plus for dollar menu food is a ânever againâ! I had to use a magnifying glass to see the scallops in a SEA of oil! The chicken tenders DID NOT come with my side! No condiments! I called the restaurant MULTIPLE times with zero response. Stop ripping off your customers! This is entirely shameful and disgraceful. Salt, on salt, on salt! If I wasnât still at work Iâll would driven right up here and demanded a full refund!
