👍👍 The service was great and friendly. Food was cert prompt and hot. Saturday night's were very busy but the juicy crab handled it very well. The spice in the food is great, lower levels still have a good kick without being all hot. Price was 35 to 45 per person. People often mention shrimp, great, time, good, crab, experience, delicious, fried, server, service,

    The absolute worst crawfish I’ve ever tasted. They had absolutely no flavor. Drenched in a buttery sauce. Crab legs were only tolerable at best. Very over priced for the quality. The best thing I had there was corn on the cob. Will not go back.

    First time visiting this restaurant. First impression was once we entered I noticed food on the floor to the left towards the bar. As we all started to follow the hostess we all stopped and looked at each other and at the same time stated how sticky and squeaky the floor was. Once seated we were greeted quickly by our wonderful server. It wasn't too long before we received our meals. We ordered shrimp platter and catfish platter. The shrimp wasn't bad, just the batter fell off easily. The catfish was horrible. It was extremely greasy. Wasn't the best experience for our first impression. Not a recommendation from us. Sorry

    We made the mistake of going on Labor Day. They have a rule that their lunch specials aren't available on holidays..... totally strange, I've never heard of that before. This was their first day open, the server was friendly. Ordering was kind of complicated, maybe it was just the way the server described the menu. They are known for their boiled seafood, which is what we got. The shrimp was hot and flavorful. The boiled shrimp came in a bag, which was very hot. You empty the bag onto your plate and eat. They give you a bucket filled with bibs and gloves to eat. It was sort of comical, but the food can get really messy so be sure to at least use the gloves. Definitely the best place in town for boiled seafood, as for everything else on the menu.....I dont know.

    The food was good but not really worth the price. It was pricey. My alcoholic beverage was not that great either. Whoever works their bar does not know how to mix drinks. My server was my family member so Im not comfortable on giving a rating on that. I Loved their butter seasonings they used on their seafood. Yum

    This, by far, was a great experience coming back home to a better Juicy Crab. Anytime you're in town, come here and ask for Jill to be your server. This young lady is so sweet, kind, and such a great spirited person. She corrected an order of mine to get it right to make sure I was satisfied. The order was not too expensive at $91.28, but it was worth it for 4 people. The sweet tea was tastful and the crab legs were delicious. Also, be sure to ask about how you can get a free appetizer like I'm doing now☺️

    Juicy CRAB Hattiesburg. MS. It was my first time there and I thoroughly enjoyed the Snow CRAB legs and the Dungeness CRAB legs with the Special Sauce.(Garlic, spices, etc) plus Very Hot flavor for me. EXCELLENT!!! My friends said the fried oysters & fish was GREAT! I will return to taste more delicious items on the menu! #getthespecialsauce

    Great place to enjoy friends and family. Staff super accommodating to your needs and they have a very familial attitude when it comes to their customers. The drinks are great! I always recommend the JUICY WINGS EXTRA CRISPY MEDIUM and the SHRIMP.

  • 4/5 Tiffany S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was wonderful! My husband had the shrimp poboy and I had the snow crab and Dungeness crab. I preferred the snow crab but both were good. I would have given four stars if the service had been a little better. I would like to think they were short handed but our server didn’t come get our drink order or even address us for over 5 minutes. Then once we were done it took about 15-20 minutes just to cash our ticket out. I understand there was a large party but it shouldn’t take this long. Who knows, everyone has a bad night. We will definitely be going back.

    Wow!!! It was the best I had the Catfish dinner and it was the best I've ever had. Quality and quantity just couldn't eat all in one setting. My friend had the Seafood bag with lobster shrimp potatoes sausage and corn and they were absolutely pleased as well. I give them a 10 and highly recommend to everyone🎯💯‼️

    I've enjoyed every visit here! There's always a comfortable vibe and the servers are very engaging and helpful. The crab legs are absolutely delicious!

    The service was amazing. The young man was very polite. He checked on us several times, and he was helpful with the menu. We didn't have to wait long on the food, and it was 5 of us that ordered. The food was delicious. I didn't like the taste of the eggs buy that may have just been my taste buds. The eggs weren't nasty, they just tasted like a pickled egg and I don't care for pickled eggs. That wasn't really a big deal to me because everything else was great. This was my first time going and it definitely won't be my last time! The atmosphere was so pleasant! The music 🎶 made it even better. It was a mixture of different vibes and I really enjoyed it.

    It was absolutely wonderful! We went an hour before closing and the service nor the food disappointed!! Me and my family had a wonderful time laughing and eating! Our waiter T was divine!! My son didn’t like the crawfish but they didn’t hesitate to make our experience great so they replaced them with shrimp and all was well! Lovely place and we’ll be back when passing through again!

If you get the spiciest.. it’s blister causing SPICY 🤪But.. Lil pricey..Definitely a Date night place!!

    My wife and I had dinner with my son's family on our visit to Hattiesburg. It was the one restaurant my granddaughter wanted to go to. Everyone had a different dish and we weren't disappointed.

  • 5/5 B. M. 3 years ago on Google
    It was super delicious, very affordable, and we left full and satisfied. The sweet tea with lemon was on point, we gotten the cajun garlic butter seasoning. It was slightly salty but it went perfectly with the corn and potatoes. We will definitely be returning back. The employee's were very professional and on top of they're game. I will definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family, thanks for the good food and hospitality.

    The food was delicious!! My partner and I pulled up to Juicy Crib 20 mins before they closed. Great service and even better food. I ordered the fried shrimp basket and she ordered the shrimp po-boy. This was my 1st visit to this location!!

  • 2/5 William P. 1 year ago on Google
    Wait staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was not worth what it cost. Shrimp was ok, oysters was so battered and fried to the point of no return, could barely eat them almost burnt. Waited 45 minutes for two fried shrimp plates and a fried oyster plate.

    I absolutely love juicy crab and I normally have a pretty good experience. This last time I went the server was ok not much to write home to mama about. But the thing that made it a bad experience for me was the meat that I was served was undercooked and it had went bad. Now I thought I was tripping because it did have a weird off scent and taste. I should have went with my first mind. Literally the next day I had food poisoning. I’m sure they knew the meat was bad but yet and still they still sold it. You don’t play with people’s food or health like that. Now this was my favorite restaurant now I’m hesitant to eat here. I was sick for THREE days straight. All I can say is be very cautious if you choose to eat here.

    Start with the good: really great calamari...great. the lunch special my partner had with shrimp and sausage was done well and will be something to try in the future for myself. For me, the sauce had too much garlic, however, different people like different things, so no reason to hold that against them. I know that I could order it with old bay and be happy. Just beware of which sauce you choose if you don't want a lot of garlic. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. The bad: the fried oysters were not good. Seemed like they need to change the oil. This alone almost dropped my rating further. Really bad. Also, the batter on the catfish was horrendous. It was more batter than fish and just not right. I didn't order catfish to get 2/3 batter (also not the right kind of batter. Waitress said they switched it recently, but it is still not right).

    Took my Granddaughter and her BF for dinner. It was our first visit but it won't be our last. Both food and service were excellent!

    Always a great experience when we visit here. Next time I hope they have Gumbo on the menu. Forgot to take pictures of our Seafood Combo but they were good with the Old Bay and Garlic Butter.
