The Crab Station - Carrollton

Good/friendly service. The lobster roll should be more of an appetizer or listed under kid's meal. The serving size is not worth the price.

We visited around 2 PM on a weekday and were the only customers there, so it was pretty quiet. This is one of my husband's favorite spots, he goes at least twice a month, if not more, with his best friend. The food, service, and atmosphere are all consistently good.

The gumbo was served in a large bowel. However, it didn't taste all that well. I'm from Louisiana and the reaux wasn't tasty. It also made my stomach hurt and gave me diarrhea. It may have been old. My daughter ordered a seafood combo and the portions were small.

Called ahead to confirm blue point oysters. After driving there and ordering, the oysters were not blue point and they were terrible. Sent back and ordered blackened salmon. Salmon was like a hockey puck!

Top of the line! My favorite seafood spot in Carrollton, TX. if you want to try some good food, well seasoned, and with some heat, The Crab Station is where it's at! I go here on many occasions and it's a great time with the family. 10/10 would recommend.

Food was brought out quickly and staff was friendly. Price was acceptable and food was solid overall. They apparently don't have plain butter or metal knives though just FYI.

Service and food was much better than the kick crab across the street. Usually order myself some to-go, but got together with family before school starts. We were worried about the live crawfish since season is over but we tried a pound and ended up ordering three more. The “medium” sauce we got with it was flavorful. Just enough spicy. We also ordered the oysters, station platter, and lobster roll which were delicious. But do know the platter is a lot of food because we had to take half home. Margaritas could be stronger. Place was nice and clean, parking lot is small. We circled at least three times before finding a spot. My sister got the teachers discount which was nice. They also have discounts for military and seniors.

Yesterday, I ordered shrimp and crawfish to go, but the crawfish smelled as if they were made from something rotten, and the sauce tasted completely different from before, which was very disappointing.
I don’t want to buy from here again.

Ordered crawfish, because in March or so it was fantastic. Ordered live crawfish. Got very not fresh crawfish. Only the first layer of ten or so was fresh, then they all started coming up bad. Tail mushy, falling apart in the shell... Blackishness on the shells... Shells bendy and rubbery. I am no biologist, but I know when something isn't fresh. This was out early mother's day dinner my kids paid for... Never eating from here again.

There was nothing about this restaurant I didn't like. Service was fast and friendly and the food was absolutely amazing. The price was a bit high but then again I think I ordered the most expensive thing on the menu. It was definitely worth it to me.

Typically I am very pleased when I dine here. But this past visit I had an issue. So my order only came with one piece of corn and one potato. I asked for an extra piece of corn and an extra potato at an additional cost. When my food came the server dropped it off so I opened the bag to realize that I only got the extra corn and not the potato. I let the sever know and she came back saying that the cook put the extra potato in the bag. I told her not to worry about it and I was still charged for it. My party and I spent $140 and they couldn’t give me a 97 cent potato or remove it from my bill. I don’t see myself coming back.

Food was okay. Blacked catfish wasn't very spicy. Etoufee was some cream-based or curry dish that tasted okay but I wouldn't call it etoufee. Service was bad. When we arrived she was very friendly. After we got our food we basically never saw her again. No drink refills, no checking to see if food was okay. Waited forever to get our check and had to flag down someone. Then had to wait again to get credit cards. It's a good thing they charge 18% gratuity for groups of 6 or more because she certainly didn't earn it.
