The Crafty Crab is a seafood restaurant that offers a lively and casual dining experience. The service is generally prompt and friendly, with attentive servers who ensure customers' needs are met. The menu features a variety of fried seafood options, including the popular fried oyster baskets, seasoned to perfection for a satisfying crunch on the outside and a fresh, soft flavor inside. While the restaurant may not be the best choice for those seeking a more traditional seafood dinner, the food is tasty, and the atmosphere works well for a casual date night or a celebration like a birthday. The ambiance includes TVs and music, with a DJ playing hip-hop and dance tracks on weekends, creating a fun and lively setting for those looking to enjoy seafood. Some guests have found the music a bit loud, but many appreciate the enjoyable atmosphere. The portions are substantial, making the menu prices feel worth it. Overall, The Crafty Crab provides a nice experience with delicious food, such as the crawfish and shrimp combo with "The Boom" sauce, which is seasoned just right.
