Crab Ave

I'm a crab leg aficionado...actually that might be an understatement. So, of course, I was craving them recently. Since this place has been on list for several months and I was in the area, I figured I'd check them out. Now I debated whether I really wanted to get steamed shellfish to go since they would taste better hot but went with it anyway. We're still in a pandemic and, although restaurants are open, they had very limited seating options in an already small space. I ended up ordering 2 lbs of Crab Legs with a couple ear of corn halves and a couple potatoes. Since I wasn't familiar with their definition of "spicy", I got one bag with the mild spice level and one with medium. Finally I chose the garlic butter sauce over the Cajun seasoning per the server's recommendation.The temperature of the legs held up better than I thought on the 25 minute drive home. They weren't overcooked and the flavor of the sauce was delicious - so glad I listened to the gentleman. I also discerned that I preferred the medium heat over the mild. It had just enough kick but want overpowering. However, they were a little smaller than I expected. If they had been larger, with more meat, this review would be five stars. I'm definitely willing to go back and see if I can get a different batch!

Three of us . And only one other table in . Service was slow . I ordered an appetizer that came out after my food which where egg rolls. They actually forgot about the appetizer because when they brought us the food they asked if there's anything else we needed... and I said yeah can you check on my egg rolls appetizer. Then he came back and said just another 10 minutes on the eggrolls. Meaning my order was never placed ... The crawfish where small and we are definitely in the crawfish season. The spicy did have a kick to it . My nose was a little watery . Not much to say but the Modelos where nice and icy . They didn't have gumbo either . Like they offered it on the menu but didn't have it available. Was the only appetizer not available . It's 9:14pm and they had the tables all clean and chairs put up like if it was closing time . The website and door says they close at 10pm . It's 9:15pm we are walking are walking out and they lock the door on our way out .

If you like to have your seafood Asian style, then you will love this place. I like Asian style, but this was a little much for me. They do you have an option where you can take Louisiana seasoning and put it on top. That's what I did, but it wasn't as good as other places that I've been to. my only other issue is that as a whole this place was really pricey. Seafood is pricey and I'm not sure if this is a small business or the type of cost they incur, but there are definitely places elsewhere where you can get better deals. As far as convenience this is one of the closest places to me to get crab legs so I won't say that I won't be back, but if I'm willing to drive the extra 15 minutes then I'll definitely take that over this.

James R. had hosted his UYE here as he had heard excellent things about their crawfish. While this place is called the "Crab Ave", my posse came here for the crawfish. They were priced at $7.99/lb. I do not eat these bugs, so I wasn't too concerned about them. The 2 types of seasoning available are either with traditional Louisiana/Cajun seasoning, or Vietnamese butter-garlic sauce. There were four levels of spice: mild, medium, spicy, and extra-spicy. To customize add-ons, the rates are as following: corn (+75 cents), 3 potatoes (+$1.50), 2 sausages (+$1.99), and also rice, noodles, and a whole host of other accoutrements.Since crawfish ain't my thing, I went with a shrimp fried rice plate and a seafood soup. I also mooched 3 shrimp from James's 6 pound crawfish bag. Most of the group went with spicy flavor, while Eric went with an extra spicy level. I could see his lips were turning pink n red with the blazing fumes that were entering his mouth. Crab avenue is not kidding, when they present you the extra spicy version.My only critique of this place was that the service was slow. We came with a large group of people, so I understand that the kitchen might have been rushed, but every person got their food brought at different times. I finished mine quickly as I had not peeling and butchering to do. Mine was soup and rice. Easy intake. There were some that were still waiting for their food to arrive. Perhaps we needed extra waiters serving our table.

We came here for crawfish season with a large party. The host called ahead to reserve a table, and one was set up 30 minutes before our arrival time. Spacious plaza with plenty of parking. This place is still a bit fresh, offering A variety of Korean dishes.The fried seafood platter was my favorite. It came with fried calamari, fried oysters, onion rings, and French fries. The fried oysters were spot on. Good enough to share with 5+ people. Also came with 3 different sauces, but I didn't think it was needed. The crawfish was decent price at about $8 per lb. Two flavors of Louisiana or garlic butter. You can pick your level of spicy. I chose garlic butter spicy instead of extra spicy. Careful on extra spicy. The seasonings on the crawfish were good and flavorful. The crawfish was also at good size at this time of the season. Some other items to fill up your tummy are their fried rice and spicy seafood noodles. The spicy seafood noodles can feed about 3 people. It was filled with seafood, noodles, veggies, and one spicy broth. This item came last and it was a struggle to finish since we were already so full on the food. Overall, services were good. If we needed anything, then it was brought to us. Our party had a great time here.

We tried this place tonight for the first time and got our order to go. I tried their fried oysters, calimari, shrimp, crawfish with corn and sausage. Fried oysters 3/5 Texture was perfect and sauce pairs well with it. I just thought it was a little too salty for my liking. Fried calimari 4/5 The way it was seasoned was very similar fo the fried oysters. Pretty solid bite sized pieces. Crawfish and shrimp 3/5 We ordered the crawfish and shrimp in the garlic butter flavor with mild spice. I was a bit let down on the seasoning. It felt like it was missing the salt and some extra seasoning. The depth was not there. However, the size of the crawfish were decent and they were fresh. Service 5/5 We were served immediately and greeted upon coming into the store. We sat at the bar area and ordered. We only waited 15-20 min for our order and it was divided the way we wanted it. No complaints. They do serve beer at this establishment. I'm not sure if it is still byob.

I always come for their garlic butter crawfish! Always on point! Service is friendly and quick!

Food was good , the service was over done , standing over me while I pour butter in a cup . Blowing into my glove for me to put on to eat my seafood . That isn't sanitary. I did not like that at all .

This place is a whole in the wall but in the best ways!!! The crawfish is so good and when they say spicy they mean it! Their fried rice is so damn good it has crawfish in it too. The garlic bread made me want to cry it was so good !! Definitely our new spot!

Garlic bread is excellent. I would come here and just eat garlic bread. Super friendly staff. Nice and quiet. Great for Sunday lunch. Loved the crawfish. The extra spicy boil had excellent flavor.
