Crafty Crab in Wauwatosa offers tasty food and friendly service, with a unique way of serving seafood that resembles a balloon of goodies, arriving quickly. Customers often wait at the bar for a short time before being seated, and the atmosphere is welcoming with good parking. The C platter with all the seasonings, known as the BOOM, and medium spice level is highly praised. Many enjoy the flavorful seafood boil, including lobster, shrimp, potatoes, eggs, and sausage, which many find hot and fresh. The staff is attentive and polite, making the dining experience pleasant. Some customers noted that the seafood boil sauce was very salty, and the seasoning can be too much for those who prefer less spice. The saltiness was mentioned as excessive, and some dishes, like fried catfish and butter garlic shrimp and noodles, can be bland or overly seasoned. The bathrooms and curtains could be cleaner, and take-out orders are common, but sometimes food is left on the doorstep despite requests for contact. Overall, Crafty Crab offers a good dining experience with flavorful food and friendly service, though there are areas for improvement.
