    Wasn’t bad. The service could of been better but I don’t think that was their fault. We had the shrimp bucket or whatever they call it. Dug right in and forgot to take the pictures. They had a cool pond inside though. Great place for a large party to have some good seafood. Would probably go back if more people wanted seafood in our group.

    Food was good, sauce can be improved since other similar restaurants make it thicker! Here sauce was a bit watery anyway we enjoyed it. We tried shrimps bag limon and paper and mix sauce both were good. We also had hush puppies and rice which was good too. Atmosphere was really good but you need to wait even then restaurant is not full of people but I think they need to hair more workers. I recommend this place! You might end up paying a lot but it’s worth the try.

    My fiancé and I just love eating here and spending time together. Our servers have been awesome each time and have gone above and beyond to make sure we're always taken care of. The atmosphere is super fun and just all around pleasant. For sure one of our favorite places to eat drink and be merry

    This is one of the most highly rated places in Jacksonville for a reason: it is incredible. You can be a local in Jacksonville or someone passing through, but all have to enjoy this place. The service is warm and welcoming, resembling what a southern establishment should me—wonderful people that makes everyone feel welcomed. Shoutout to our server, Fang who carefully explained the menu and it’s options to novices to the seafood boil. Once the food came around, we knew we were in the perfect place. Everything was incredibly flavorful; I recommend the crawfish with the Cajun seasoning and the shrimp, or crab legs with the juicy special seasoning. This is now one of my favorite places I have gone to because of the vast choices and delicious offerings. If you can come here, I 110% recommend you do.

    “Hi Sweetie” the second you step inside the door. Easy going, fun, noisy, kid friendly atmosphere. Plenty of adult beverage choices for mom and dad. Quick seating for party of 5. Large seating area. Food is fresh and fast. Servers get you refills promptly.

    The service at The Juicy Crab was excellent. Our server was so courteous and friendly. She was knowledgeable about the specials and the rest of the menu. She also suggested the best combinations of the juicy mix. The low country boil with garlic butter, medium heat, and Cajun spices was the best!

    The service was great. Food was so amazing, we had left and right overs after we left. Atmosphere was great also, there is music that you can pay and play. Fish for the kids. Big bar area. Many seats so you'll get a seat when you come in. The wait wasn't long at all, Once we got in we were seated. I will give this place a 9.4/10, great work Juicy!!!

    We went for my goddaughter's birthday & Elijah & Rocky were amazing! They made sure my daughter truly enjoyed her birthday dinner. Elijah was prompt, friendly, courteous, welcoming, & kept a smile on her face. Rocky had my drinks on point! This was a great experience!

    The food was delicious. Especially those lemon pepper wings. The crabs were delicious. The outside decor was OK. But the bathroom was disgusting.

    My husband and I went Friday night for our 39th Anniversary. I'd heard so many great things about the Juicy Crab, and wanted to ck. it out for this special occasion! Well, they didn't disappoint! From being created at the front door so warmly, I was even complemented on my hat(wow). To being seated very quickly, I really felt appreciated to be there. Also, as it was our first time at the restaurant, we felt so comfortable, with the seating area, full service of utensils (bibs, gloves, etc.). Our waitress Emily, was on her game. Will ask for her when we go back for my daughter's birthday. Can't say enough, how wonderful having our Anniversary dinner there was. I give them 5 STARS!!

    I honestly thought I was in the wrong place because the building looked slightly abandoned. The food was great though. The sweet tea was delicious, but I had to water it down because I wasn’t trying to go into sugar shock.

    The food at this joint is fantastic. Every single time we've been there they take care of us quickly and the servers are always nice which is not something you get at every establishment. A little on the pricey side but It's totally worth it

  • 1/5 Dayami M. 7 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately, it's not a good experience. Came for the first time to this location with my husband to have dinner. My husband sat down while we waited to be seated. Mind you, there was already a gentleman there speaking with the hostess. The hostess then proceeds to grab some menus and looks at my husband and tells him, "Let's go honey." We follow her to a table where the gentleman before us was helping her set up and proceeds to stay seated after. The hostess then looks at us and tells us to go ahead and take a seat. At this point, we realize there is a misunderstanding and inform her that we're not with the gentleman. The hostess demeanor changes immediately and looks at my husband with an attitude and tells him, "I didn't call you." At that moment, we just turned around and walked out. I honestly believe she could have handled the situation better. Unfortunately, she didn't.

    Food was good, we even received a special deal 😋 our waitress was friendly and attentive to our needs and wants. The atmosphere was clean and had good music playing in the background. My first experience is a lasting one.

    Literally a hole in the wall! Looks rough outside but inside and the food... well worth it ! ❤️

  • 1/5 Jeremy N. 10 months ago on Google
    This is a very strange place. It smells weird and they have a”DJ” playing trash music way too loud. You can’t even talk to the employees when they finally acknowledge you because of how loud it is yet the place is sparse. There’s piles of papers and random junk on the back counter.

  • 4/5 R. B. 11 months ago on Google
    We visited The Juicy crab the 1st time with our family and friends. I would have given it a 5 ⭐ but unfortunately all of our orders were messed up we . None of us got our orders ordered correctly! Either we didn't get something that we ordered like my husband and I ordered shrimp, Crab and mussels! We did not get the shrimp! The mussels were fantastic though and the Crab. Both perfectly seasoned! Our daughter ordered mild seasoning and it was hot and very spicy so our grandson wouldn't eat anything. He ate my other friends food! Our other friends food was missing food too on their orders!. We paid a lot of$$ for our food and we were not even offered any compensation for any mistakes or anything! We did not pay for the shrimp because we ended up ordering more mussels instead of the shrimp! Would we eat there again yes because the food is very good but we'd make sure the waitress was very clear on our order!

    Amazing seafood served in a bag with corn and potatoes your choice of spice and seasonings. Cute atmosphere and great servers. Please come and try

  • 5/5 Lindsay B. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my 4th time here now and it’s just as good as the first time! The restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside but don’t let that fool you! GREAT service all around, fun atmosphere and best of all its child AND adult friendly! The food has always been consistent and by consistent I mean absolutely DELICIOUS! I get the Juicy Crab special sauce, hot, and it has never disappointed! You will not leave hungry, but you will want more!

    This is my second time being here while visiting the area and this visit was better than my first one. Our waitress was super friendly, personable, and made great recommendations on drinks and food to order. I had the Cajun seasoned wings and fries and my partner had the fried shrimp basket with corn nuggets. My sister had the lb of shrimp and I tried some of it and it was delicious. There are several locations, but this location is definitely a favorite of mine.

    Jaz was an amazing server. The food itself was great. You can’t go wrong with this place. Their hush puppies were good as well.

    Great experience! Our waitress Peaches was so sweet and on point! We will definitely be requesting her if she's available! The location was clean and inviting as well!
