O'Brien's Crabhouse

I was in Auburn Hills for a work trip on 10/21/24 and I always look up different places to eat before traveling. Being from Florida I can get great seafood at any time but the reviews for the steak caught my attention. I'll get back to that. This place has a great ambience, I sat at the bar and if I'm not mistaken the bartenders name was Katlin. She was amazing, I notice her interaction with an elderly customer and the way she treated that customer was awesome. They also had the Monday night football game on which was an added plus. Now back to my food. I've had some really good clam chowder but this was by far the best I've ever had. My main entree was the NY Strip, cooked medium rare. It was perfect. I didn't need any sauce. I wasn't able to finish but the left over went perfect with the breakfast at my hotel. If I come back. This will be my first stop and I will need a bucket of that clam chowder.

I have been here before but it's been a few years. Maggie was are waitress, she was so friendly and attentive. We started out with the calamari. Let's just say, I could have licked the plate when it was gone, it was that yummy! I have never had green beans that tasted so good & the crab legs were the BEST I've ever had. They were so sweet & tasty!

Stopped in for dinner with my mom over the weekend. Our food was good. Crawfish pie special was delicious. Crab cakes were tiny and overpriced for what we got. Service was not good. We were there before it got busy. Waitress seemed to busy talking to other staff to take care of us. I appreciated the three other waitresses that helped us when we needed water or something else. Nobody ever checked to see if we needed anything after our food was delivered. Prices are too expensive these days to put up with lousy service.

Omg first time here for my birthday dinner it was awesome. and the food was delicious the service was amazing and the ambiance was great also we will be back

We have been long time fans of O'Brien's Crabhouse! The food is simply outstanding! We have never been disappointed. Our favorite dishes include: Seafood chowder and be sure to get the soups mixed! It's fabulous. The grouper piccata is phenomenal! Every bite is full of flavor and it's always fresh!! The artichoke dip is to die for!!! The shrimp scampi angel hair pasta is my personal favorite!! We love ordering the personal shot glass sundae! The service: Friendly, attentive, authentic kindness are the first adjectives I think of! Ambiance is small and intimate with roomy booth space! You must reserve a table and we recommend making your reservation around 4:30! Trust me the experience will be worth it arriving earlier! Everything is made from scratch and by the time you have your app, salad (oh the Caesar is so good) dinner and dessert it will make the timing perfect! We love O'Brien's!

Stopped into O'Briens while in town for business...actually heard two their gentlemen say we are back... place was so good only in town for two days...Bartender super friendly Bread outstanding Shrimp cocktail was delicious Next time in Auburn Hills will be back!!

My husband suggested this place. It totally works because I'm a pescatarian.There is plenty of parking outside and we came on a Saturday night. We didn't have a reservation and were seated right away. It wasn't really packed inside and probably because it was near closing time. It's a cute restaurant with a sea them.They have a full bar and the menu has plenty to choose from. We order appetizers first. My husband ordered the coconut shrimp. My sister-in-law had the fried green tomatoes, and I had the soft shell crab. Everything was delicious. I tried my sister-in-law's fried green tomatoes and they were delicious.For our main meals I selected the fettuccine alfredo that had seafood. There was shrimp in there and I believe crawfish tails. I may have missed the other ingredients but it was delicious and a nice size portion. My sister-in-law ordered the stuffed shrimp. My husband ordered the fried shrimp with fries. My husband and his sister both had the coleslaw. My sister-in-law said it was some of the best coleslaw. My meal came with a soup or salad. I selected a tomato based soup that had crab. I really didn't care for it. All in all a wonderful experience and Maddie was our server and she went over and beyond. Thank you I hope to see you soon.

I am not sure what happened to the review I wrote previously. So I am copying and pasting my old one. WTF Yelp?So my buddy bought a new house, and I came out to see it for the first time.He didn't have any furniture or anything, so we decided to go eat at O'Brien's CrabhouseMy buddy went to high school with the owner. When we pulled up, I noticed that it was in a strip mall, and I have to admit I was like, what in trailer park hell have you brought me to. But I am with my pal Goodman, and he has never let me down with a good meal. I got the Half and delicious Half soup, and we ordered Shrimp side dishes that were amazing. LOL, I am at a seafood place, but Goodman told me that one of his friends always orders the ribs, so I went with that. I will say that again, seafood places were not the best ribs. But they were pretty good. This place is a decent spot to eat.

Great lobster and Stone Crab.Waitresses have been providing Frear service for years.

Great food, great service, we love O'Brien's!!This is an "always good" restaurant!!!
