I’m extremely disappointed with my mom’s experience at this restaurant. She ordered food here recently, and not long after eating, she got extremely sick with what appeared to be food poisoning. Seeing her go through that was upsetting and honestly unacceptable for a restaurant that serves seafood, which should be handled with extra care.
The quality and freshness of the food did not match the price or the hype. If a business plans to stay open, basic food safety should be the bare minimum. This experience has completely turned us off from returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone until they take food handling and customer safety much more seriously.

Not a great atmosphere we didn’t stay for food. It seemed pricey for the type of venue. Don’t let the fact that it’s at the mall fool you. It reminded me of Mission bbq or a bar food food dive.

Seafood is excellent, but be particular about the herbs or flavors they use. I had great shrimp, but hated the wet Cajun flavoring.

Avast, ye landlubbers, this review of Florence Crab House in Magnolia Mall be crafted in pirate tongue to honor the seafood spirit of this joint! I sailed in expectin' a feast fit for a pirate captain, and while the grub had me singin' shanties of joy, the service was so dismal it deserves to walk the plank! The catfish platter was a treasure haul-four thick, crispy pieces, fried to golden perfection like coins from a sunken chest. Hearty enough to fill a grown pirate's belly, it left me ready to storm a tavern. The Cajun fries on the side came pipin' hot, spiced with a kick fiercer than a cannon's blast, makin' every bite a thrill worth celebratin'. Portions were so grand I could've fed me crew and still had scraps for the gulls. The food was fresh, flavorful, and worth every doubloon. But arrgh, the service? That bartender was a scurvy dog, wanderin' everywhere but the bar! I ordered one lone beer to wash down me feast, but I had to ration it like it was the last drop of rum on a desert isle. Five, nay, ten minutes at a time, me mug sat empty, leavin' me parched as a castaway starin' at a dry horizon. Had I known the barkeep would be scarcer than a mermaid's treasure, I'd have ordered two waters and a beer at the start to keep me thirst quenched. The waitstaff moved slower than a barnacle-covered dinghy, dimmin' the shine of the meal. Florence Crab House, your grub's a bounty fit for Blackbeard, but the service is a shipwreck. Fix yer crew, or this pirate ain't sailin' back!

Loved it
This was my first time at this place always passed by but gave it a try. I had order the seafood pasta dish that was so salty couldn't even finish it at all. I think if I had high blood pressure that food would have did me in for the count terrible food. All the waitress could say I'm sorry about that.

I’m LIVID!! The oysters were disgusting and calamari was the worst I’ve had. Sent them back and they took it off the bill. Only to have a tab brought to me for $32 for 2 watered down drinks…$13.99 each! Tito’s should be about $8 a drink, tops. They added the food cost into my drink order. Las Vegas doesn’t charge that much for a crappy Tito’s single. Please never go to this dive. I’m leaving here hungry, sick to my stomach with the nasty bite of oyster, and super mad. STAY AWAY!!!!! I rarely leave a bad review, but this may be one I report to the BBB. They were shady by up-charging for my 2 drinks, to compensate for the nasty food. They didn’t “comp” anything. Actually, I’d rather them have been forthright in saying they couldn’t take the food off my bill. (FYI, I never asked for anything free…the option was offered by the nice server.) This place is really the worst.
I enjoyed an order of soft-shell crabs along with a side of red potatoes. I had been craving these crabs for a very long time and I was not disappointed. The service in my opinion was fantastic. I look forward to returning very soon
Good food and great service! Jasmine is very attentive and sweet to her customers!
The wings, with Cajun rub had no rub on them. Just a lot of breading. The waitress never offered refills on drinks. Seafood was ok.
It has a typical crab house deco and feel. The seafood pasta is Amazing! Very generous with their portions and plenty of medium sized devained shrimp (15+), and lots of sausage tossed in spaghetti noodles for $19. I think a little green veggie would balance it well, served with some garlic bread to soak up the juice would make this dish complete.
Update: I woke up sick the next morning. The food has good flavor but I won't be back.
