We ordered a boil with a crawfish, crab legs, shrimp, sausage, boiled egg, potato, corn, and mussels in the crabulous sauce. We chose medium spice-level and it was perfectly spicy and delicious. I could have drank the remaining sauce, it was so good. I liked that all the items in the boil were a la carte so nothing is in there that you don’t want or like. The prices were really lower than expected. Used a Groupon and they didn’t act annoyed about it like other places do sometimes. Will definitely return and won’t mind paying full price next time.

Visited on Friday night 08/19/22. Skye our server was great. I visited with a friend & there was a couple sitting at a table across from us & I’m going to assume the Asian guy was the manager but he kept on walking the aisle & not once did he speak to us but stopped at the table across from us. There was no one else in the restaurant. Also for an empty restaurant the food took forever to come out & it’s not the best seafood boil I’ve tasted. Only good thing about here is BYOB. This was my first & last time there.

Run here! Food is good, tastes great & has amazing flavor! Generous portions, pleasant staff & clean environment. We enjoyed the lobster linguini & garlic butter boil.

I go here quite often as it is within walking distance of my home. I pretty much order the same thing almost every time ago. Their Maine lobster roll. I order because it is a true lobster roll - just large chunks of lobster on a roll with drawn butter. Some people say that this is really a Connecticut lobster roll. I don't know. I've had lobster rolls like this, and I've also had them when the roll was mixed with mayonnaise, celery and other things similar to chicken salad or tuna salad. I much prefer it this way. with just drawn butter on a bun/roll. Crabulous doesn't skimp either. All of the lobster rolls I've ordered are heaping with fresh lobster meat. It comes with cole slaw and french fries. I am thankful to have a restaurant that offers this so close to me. I think the price is very reasonable for what you get.

Went here for early dinner with my friends before a concert at the Wellmont Theater and we could not be happier with the service and food. We had for appetizers seafood cheesy bread & crab dip. Main course we had Lobster Linguine and King Grab Legs boils. For dessert we had the coconut pudding(delicious). The food was delicious and the staff was lovely. Definitely will be back.

I accidentally stumbled upon Crabulous when I was looking at Google Maps for a different restaurant nearby I wanted to check out. My husband and I came in on a Friday right before 6 and there were a few people dining there already.Luckily, we made it just in time for the $1 oyster happy hour, which is everyday from from 3-6. These were plump and shucked properly (unlike lots of HH oyster spots in NYC). It comes with cocktail sauce and horseradish but I wish it came with some sort of mignonette - but nothing some extra lemon can't fix.For the rest of the food, we ordered:Cod fish and chips - these are served with these bomb cajun fries and cole slaw, which I love having whenever I eat fried food. The fish was fried perfectly and came out piping hot. Cod can be easy to mess up but this was probably my favorite dish of the night. It was even better than any fish and chips I had in London1 lb of Crawfish with original Cajun/lemon pepper sauce - for the sauces, you can pick mild, medium, or or spicy. Each pound of seafood comes with a corn, potato, and you can pick any of the sides so we went with the broccoli. Unfortunately, this also came with a strand of hair in it but they took it back (and hopefully remade it instead of picking the hair out). The crawfish themselves were very tiny. When we were ordering, the waitress warned us that the cajun lemon pepper sauce isn't for everyone because it's salty/tangy and recommended that we get it on the side. Really grateful for the head's up because we didn't really like the sauce, so at least the whole dish wasn't ruined1/2 lb of Snow Crab legs with Crabulous sauce - 1/2 lb is really just one cluster of snow crab legs. We got mashed potatoes as the side. I'm not sure what was in the Crabulous sauce but it was so good! I ended up dipping the crawfish, the broccoli, and the mashed potatoes in the sauceStrand of hair aside, it was still a good experience. Our waitress, Kay was really nice - even though it seemed like she was the only waitress around that night, she was still patient with everyone. The restaurant looks new and super clean. I really appreciate that there are plastic partitions between each table, so that made us more comfortable dining there. I definitely want to try out the other menu items. Crab dip, grilled oysters, and lobster linguine all sound good.

Attentive managers and friendly staff, can’t say no to the fresh-sweet $1 Blue Point oysters 3-6pm daily!

A BYOB that was very pleasantly surprising. The staff was super friendly and attentive and the food was phenomenal. The grilled oysters were to die for and the cheesy seafood bread was a must. The dinner portions were a great size and I couldn’t believe how much lobster I got! Would definitely recommend trying this place out! Will definitely be coming back for more

The only reason why I’m giving this a two star is because I ordered a seafood boil and they gave me these little clusters of crab legs ? not worth it. Mac and cheese was good but needs more seasoning. Lobsters barely have any meat in them. I was expecting a little bit more of this place. Best thing on the menu is the wings so if you’re wondering what to get don’t even waste your time on the seafood lol.

My sister and I are in town for a couple of days on vacation and we chose crabulous as our place to eat for the first night in town. Walking in the restaurant was beautiful and cozy. It looks like a great place for friends and family. I ordered crab dip for an appetizer which was delicious. My sister ordered blackened chicken Alfredo. And I got a shrimp crab boil. I have to say I’m a bit dissatisfied with my visit. Now I’ve never had a crab boil before so maybe I’m just wrong but they literally gave me one potato and one tiny piece of corn, OK but more corn would have been better… My sister asked for more bread with her Alfredo they told her no. She asked for the garlic bread on the menu just without the seafood and again they told her no. Nowhere on the menu did I see no substitutions. At the end of the meal I really wanted the crème brûlée and the waitress literally just brought the check didn’t even bother asking if we wanted dessert. Looks like we’re trying someplace else for the rest of the week.
