"We all got something different. I had the spinach salad and corn flake fish fingers, my husband and another had surf and turf, the redfish, redbeans and seafood. It was all fantastic but the service from Denise was outstanding. Best service I have had in a long time. Will definitely be back soon."
"10/13/2024. Visited Brew River for the first time. Service , ambiance, and food were all good. I was a bit disappointed that the cheese spread appetizer came with crackers instead of the 16 Brixx Crostini advertised on the menu, but maybe that's a Cajun thing.This place is a good choice for a nice evening out."
Smoked chicken andouilla sausage and just the right amount of spice. Served with a dinner salad and garlic French bread.

"Hadn't been here in quite a while. Came on Friday around 5:00. Not busy then wham the place was jam packed! Our server Sammie and the whole serving team were outstanding. I had some fresh oysters, a nice side salad and a cup of the gumbo with a side or cornbread. Husband had the jambalaya the smoked oysters-he loved everything. Friend had the tomahawk porkchop and it was cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend this great Cajun restaurant."
"It was our first time and we went to the third sitting of the Mother's Day brunch! The service was fast, the food was excellent and the mimosa was strong lol Definitely going again soon!"
"I was in town on a work trip and a few of my colleagues and I decided to meet up for dinner my last night in Louisville. Fun fact: They have two locations, so just know that before you show up at the wrong one, lol. This restaurant is tucked comfortably in a small shopping strip, has a small patio with outdoor seating, a bar area with televisions, and a dining room area. The restaurant was absolutely freezing the day I visited and that tends to impact my ability to eat. While that wasn't something the staff could help me with, they were super friendly. Our waitress was even kind enough to help me charge up my cell phone battery during my meal. While all of that was solid, the food is what missed the mark for me. They are described as a mix of cajun and American food which was easily evident after reviewing the menu. I got a caesar salad, the crab cake appetizer with a side of vegetables as well as an old fashioned cocktail. My drink was alright, but not my favorite. The crab cakes were pretty good but the vegetables were cold and not seasoned well. My salad was huge with your typical caesar ingredients, but also not my favorite. I give this place a solid three stars because in my opinion it was just ok. But go ahead and visit and see for yourself!"
"Lots to choose from in menu items. Great gumbo and oysters. Good service and friendly staff."
"Allyn retired and sold the place to the Fireside Pizza guy, Sam. We love Fireside, so I wasn't worried that Allyn's was going to be in great hands. We confirmed that with a visit Saturday night. I had the blackened swordfish, which came with two sides. I picked the macar and cheese and a side salad. Everything was as yummy as ever. Go support this local business, and visit Andrew behind the bar."

This was a lovely little Cajun restaurant just outside of Louisville! Service was good, but the food was even better. I had the shrimp manale, and the chef came and told us the sauce was his grandmothers old recipe. Overall, delicious!

We came here for a reception after my uncle's funeral service. I think we had the whole place booked, or at least most of it.The staff were super kind, and helpful and professional. Drinks and food service were handled so well. We just had a buffet: salad, crackers and pimento cheese, fish and chips, and jambalaya. But man, it was a good buffet. Every single thing was great: thick chunks of tender fish, perfectly fried. Really good seasoned fries. Remoulade and tartar sauce that were clearly house-made and tasty. A nice fresh salad with house-made croutons, and a pimento cheese dip (it may originally have been a ball, but I didn't see it right away.) Cool place, with lots of nooks and crannies, and a couple of big rooms we used, plus the bar area. Decent parking (be careful pulling in and out, it's right on the road.) Good music, which they turned down when our guitar-playing friend started up. A pleasant end to a sad day. A really good way to catch up with family, in a good venue, with good food. Oh, and a good wine and beer selection. Plus mixed drinks etc., but I didn't partake of those sections. I did glance at the regular food menu and saw plenty of things I would have tried.

hadn't been here in awhile, but a Friend Asked Me to Meet Him Today for Lunch. Service was Spot On,Karugu was Very Attentive! Soup of the Day (Clam Chowder) was Delicious and came Out Hot and Fresh! Opted for a Grilled Cheese Sandwich which came with Chips and it was One of the Best I've Had (I'm a Grilled Cheese Snob too)! Don't Sleep on this Local Eatery it's YUMMY! Highly Recommend! 6Stars out of Five!

The food was just ok. The best thing was the key lime and opera creme cake desserts. The service was good, very tentative with making sure we had everything and removed plates.

First time trying this place, but it won't be the last. I had a really nice burger that was cooked exceptionally well. The Cajun fries were hot, fresh and spicy too. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. This place has a comfortable vibe as well. Can't wait to come back and try more Cajun cuisine.

I should have taken a picture but the food was so delicious I ate it all and forgot. We tried the fried calamari appetizer, headless shrimp boil, and scallop boil. Everything was excellent. Appetizer came with cocktail sauce and a sweet chili sauce and both were delicious. Shrimp was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the pier 17 seasoning. The decor was on theme and very comfortable. The restaurant is clean and service was 10/10. We will be back!

"I like seafood here and fresh oysters Good location and cool restaurant We had 8 people, we call the special large one for big groups"
"This place got a full star for service and again makes me wish Yelp gave 1/2 star options because I'd give them a solid 4.5. I had a HORRIBLE experience with DoorDash so I ended up having to go pick up the part of my order they forgot. The staff at Crab House was excellent at remaking my order and even let me try their special house creamy sauce (which is DELICIOUS! try it). The Perfect Storm catch meal is HUGE and the food was well cooked. It easily could serve 2 people with lots of crab, shrimp and an abundance of mussels. The whiting basket was good, though the fish could have used a bit more seasoning. Inside this place is taking social distancing measures and wasn't crowded. The bar area was large they appeared to have some good drink specials. I will definitely visit again."
"what a great deal for lunch! 12-3 m-f you can get a half a pound of crab legs or shrimp boil with an egg, potato and corn. i got the millions special sauce mild. delish! i really wanted to try the seafood bread but they ran out. also, fyi they will no longer be offering mild tea. our waitress did a great job and i loved the mini barrels as light fixtures!"
"We tried it for the first time yesterday. We had read the reviews, and ordered , taking other helpers advise. We ordered an eight piece order of chicken, Mac and cheese, and a couple biscuits . We both agreed the chicken had very good flavor, the Mac and cheese was very good, but be warned it had red pepper flakes in it. And then the biscuits. Very good, buttery flavor, and drizzled with honey. My advise, allow 2 pieces of chicken per person, Mac and cheese, and a couple extra biscuits for each!!!!!!( we didn't try the wings yet, but they looked very good. ) One last thing, we went there on Sunday the first time, and found out no food on Sunday. Also, there is always a line, so be patient. It's well worth it!!!!!"
"The food was amazing. It was our first time there and there was no wait for a table. The waiter Brandon was amazing. He answered all of our questions and made some amazing suggestions. The portions was great and the complimentary garlic cheese bread was delicious! The scenery and music was a whole vibe! Their DJ or playlist was perfect and I cannot wait to come back with my family and try more of this place!"
"We have been waiting for quite some time to get to Crafty Crab because of the closure of Juicy Crab in Tri-County. Crafty Crab did not disappoint. The sauce was great, the crabs were excellent, the clams were seasoned to perfection. Quick, fast, highly attentive service and the whole layout of the restaurant was perfectly "under the sea" designed. The food didn't disappoint because it was hot, order correct, and absolutely tasty. I would love to give this restaurant a 5 star experience but the bathroom was absolutely not at the standard commensurate to the service and cleanliness of the inside of the restaurant. I would strongly recommend a dedicated staff member to periodically clean the inside of the restrooms. Lastly, the quantity of the sauce seemed to be intentionally low. You had to pay $2.99 for extra sauce. Not a big deal because the sauce is absolutely ESSENTIAL to the Crafty taste (and it's a darn good taste). Serve the meals with at least enough sauce to cover the contents inside the bag."
"Great good great service. Cozy, casual romantic American fare. Food was well seasoned and came out quick. We had a seasonal flatbread, I had a couple $5 margs for their Thursday bar special (they were perfect), he had a burger with everything and I had the pan roasted chicken sub mashed potatoes instead of rice. Delicious!"
"Waitress was awesome . Corn was frozen, didn't offer a fresh warm piece. Rest of food was very good."
"This is a great seafood option in the area. They have options of what level Cajun spice or no spice like garlic butter or lemon. We got the snow crab and shrimp boil. It comes with a red potato and small corn on the cob. It's pretty messy but they give you a bib and gloves. Plus a wipe for after you meal. A small bucket to place you crab shells and shrimp shells in. They also have options of Po boy sandwiches and fried fish and other fried food options. Smaller dine in area. Staff of following Covid protocols. If you are wanting some seafood but not wanting to fried stuff at captain D's or Long John Silvers. This is a much better and tastier option. They give you some crab crackers for your crab legs but some of those little crab forks or crab cracking hook would be helpful. A good plus at this location is Greaters is next door for dessert."
"The portion size and flavor of the food is good, however, if you list catfish on your menu, that's what I expect. Not Swai! Also, I called in my order and was told it would be ready in 10-15 minutes. I didn't go to pick it up for 20 minutes, and it still wasn't ready. I was late for work.."
