Mr. Crab House

Restaurant Seafood restaurant Cajun restaurant Crab dish restaurant

👍 After reading most of the reviews, I decided to go ahead and try the Mr. Crab-House experience. The restaurant is very nice once inside and the staff are polite. My food was good, but I wish extra sauce was free and not an additional charge. So I let my food sit in the sauce provided for a while,... People often mention delicious, seafood,

    After reading most of the reviews, I decided to go ahead and try the Mr. Crab-House experience. The restaurant is very nice once inside and the staff are polite. My food was good, but I wish extra sauce was free and not an additional charge. So I let my food sit in the sauce provided for a while, just so all of my food was covered. My daughter ordered hibachi and she loved her food! I did have a drink that was awesome!!!! I'd definitely come again during happy hour. Overall I had a terrific server who was pleasant, helpful and attentive. I'd visit again.

    So, I was starving and saw this little spot in a tiny strip area near Lowe's and I drive over to get some noodles for carryout. Welp, it's a Cajun seafood restaurant haha. So, I ordered some chicken strips and fries, (so delicious), some white sauce clam chowder, a chicken salad with fresh chicken strips and BBQ wings. I'm not a gumbo fan and I have issues with anything too "fishy". I can't comment on the seafood unfortunately but I can tell you that the carry out orders as I sat at the bar waiting for my order was for catfish. That's my next order for sure! The folks in line said it was fantastic but I already ordered chicken. The food was incredibly fresh and hot. The fries were super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My favorite. The wings were spectacular as well as the salads. I also had a house margarita while I waited and it was delicious! Possibly a little pricey for the size but I haven't been out drinking in a while, so maybe $8 was average? They do have a happy hour so I'll definitely check out bar more closely at that time. The chowder was creamy but a little more fishy tasting than I prefer. That said, I am not a fish fan, so keep that in mind. I'm sure that anyone else would have loved it! So creamy! The owner is amazing! She mixes a delicious margarita and the atmosphere is fantastic, plus she's just a really neat young person. I felt like I had walked into a restaurant on the beach or on vacation. Very nice and cozy! There's a separate bar area and there is also a party room for large groups. Another thing, they roll their own seafood as the owner was telling me as I took a few pics of the restaurant. I also got there at a half hour before closing time and was met with enthusiasm, kindness and really hot, fresh delicious food. I'll absolutely be back for the catfish and definitely more chicken strips and fries. Yum! Plus I want to see what else I might have to try. I do want to add that I am not a fish fan and thought this was a Chinese restaurant from across the parking lot haha. In my defense, it was raining like crazy! That said, I wasn't disappointed whatsoever!

    Clean location, fast service and friendly staff. We ordered the king crab boil bag with hush puppies. Hush puppies were delicious and came with a spicy creamy sauce. The king crab came out hot temperature wise. The crab was over cooked just a tad but still enjoyable. Spice level was perfect. The corn and potatoes that came in the boil bag were good as well. I would recommend Mr. Crab House. They have a full bar as well with plenty of tvs.

    Nice staff. Fantastic food! The only complaint is that they serve the boils in plastic bags. None of us understood why they'd spend the money on big plastic bags that make it more messy and somehow seem cheap. Plus it adds to the dump and is just plain bizarre. We'll probably go back because the seafood is absolutely the best I've had this side of the coast, and I've been to most of the local seafood restaurants in the last 46 years. Hopefully they'll serve it without the bags.

    My husband and I drove an hour just to come here to celebrate our anniversary for something different than where we are from. Helena our waitress was very nice. Our order cane out super fast. We went on a Wednesday around 12:30, not crowded at that time. Everything was so awesome! Crablegs and jumbo shrimp were sooooo good! We definitely will be coming back! The special blend medium suace was perfect, a little zing but not too spicey. Thank you Mr Crab House, for a great experience!!

    What a hidden gem in Cinci! We visited on 10/14/23 and each of our family members got a different Cajun boil. The food was FANTASTIC! Our waiter was attentive and funny. You definitely get a lot of food; it’s delicious, pipping hot and we all can’t wait to come again!!

    I loved everything about this. The only reason it’s not five stars is because of the “fire” spice not being spicy whatsoever. Also hahaha they didn’t have the means to make the Spicy Bees Knees! It was more funny than frustrating for sure. I loved our server although I didn’t catch her name! Her nails were pretty and she was attentive without being overly in our faces. We will definitely be returning!

    Stopped in for the first time. The shrimp in the shrimp basket were fresh and succulent! The fries and sweet potato fries delicious too! The servings generous. So glad I ran across this place and I will be back!

    My fiancé and I love coming here on special occasions such as Valentine’s Day or birthdays, it’s my absolute favorite dining spot! The service is super friendly, they’re never packed at one time, the music/atmosphere is relaxing, and the food is extraordinary! I give them a 20/10 🥰 Their seafood boils are worth every penny!
