The Famous Crab offers delicious seafood at reasonable prices. The large boil platter, priced at $65, can easily feed two to three people and comes with a wonderful flavor. Two crab clusters, lobster tail, large shrimp, boiled eggs, and their house "hot" sauce are also available. Their oysters, sourced locally for freshness, and New Orleans beignets are standouts. The restaurant is busy but worth the wait, especially if visiting with a large group where great deals on crawfish are available. Customers recommend going hotter than usual on the spice scale and suggest trying the hush puppies and mango margarita. The staff, despite being short-staffed at times, works hard to make every visit special, with many celebrating birthdays or enjoying the lively atmosphere. The menu includes vegetarian options like corn, potatoes, or mushrooms in the boil bag. Parking can be tight, requiring some patience, but the place is very family-oriented and perfect for those seeking a fun, casual seafood experience. Abby, a server with a great attitude, adds to the enjoyable dining atmosphere. It remains a must-visit for anyone looking for a better alternative to other seafood places.
