The Twisted Crab offers a flavorful seafood boil with well-cooked ingredients, particularly in the garlic butter sauce. The restaurant has a kid-friendly menu, featuring options like fried kids shrimp, although it lacks a crab legs option for kids. Prices are reasonable, with a meal for five people and drinks coming to around $200. The service is generally commendable, with friendly and attentive staff, including a bartender named Dallas who received high praise for her professionalism. However, there were some issues with the orders, such as the wrong sauce and delayed appetizer and kids meal. The outdoor seating area could use better lighting near the back door. Despite these minor drawbacks, the restaurant is a great choice for seafood lovers, as confirmed by a customer from New Orleans who has enjoyed the dish for over 20 years. The restaurant has ample handicap parking and is wheelchair accessible, with a ramp and friendly staff. Overall, the Twisted Crab is a place worth visiting, especially for its amazing steam bags and top-tier customer service.
