Fat Crab

The sever had an Aditude, we asked for raw oysters she gave us steamed oysters my mum asked her to get raw oysters on ice and she gave us the same steamed oysters on ice. We waited 30 minutes for drinks, food, and appetizers. She gave us no salt or pepper. The bathroom was nasty, disgusting. Smelt bad and the toilet paper was on the ground and it was wet and soggy, napkins was not in the dispensers. Staff was getting drunk in the back. Person at the front was eating shrimp. Bus boy lied and said he was a manager. Never. Again P. S the waiter had two long braids and white clips in her hair

One star because the business here is janky ! Predominately black patronizing establishment that of course is owned by a non black . Ppl... always ask for the itemized receipt especially at that bar!! I visited this place two days ago and got the same two receipts that I was giving on this night of this review neither one was itemized (see picture below) Myself and friend tipped well that night two days ... tonight I asked for the itemized receipt and low and behold there is a 10% service/gratuity fee. It's small so ppl won't notice it as much it's very small !!! At the bar the two copies giving were just total bills ! The one I had to ask for is pictured because I felt a sense of suspicion was the itemized copy that actually show the 10% service /gratuity charge (that one is not always giving by the bar tender or server so ask for it ) !! If double tipping your thing that's fine but don't be sneaky fat crab !!!! Is misrepresentation and that constitutes fraud !!! For me it's the fact they are hiding or smoothing over the charge . I couldn't care less if it was 1$ it's my money and you can not dictate how I spend my money ... just don't try to be sneaky and play in folks faces !!! Maybe it was just the practice of that particular bar tender or maybe the owner sets it up that way idk but it's bad and it's sneaky !!! and ppl should be aware! ppl just check your receipt to ensure you aren't double tipping !!! If that's your thing that's fine then tip I love insuring my proper service but don't be sneaky and try pulling wool over ppl eyes especially my black n brown ppl !! We have had enough of that crap !!

I first visited about a month ago and tried the fried catfish, raw oysters, steamed oysters with their special seasoning and sauce, fries and crab legs. It was so good. I tried the skittles drink which was very strong for those who enjoy an adult beverage like I do. My initial visit was pretty good so I looked forward to returning. Boy was I disappointed. I ordered a dozen oysters, steamed and raw. They weren't fresh, pretty dry & rather tasteless. Nothing like the ones I tried on my first visit. My friend got the seared scallops and chicken wings. Again, it was pretty bland. I got a drink which was missing something but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. The waiter was attentive, the music pretty loud so you had to yell to talk to your party or order. Overall, prices are reasonable, it's not very busy but this 2nd visit gives me pause to return.

Decent wings and drinks, loud music even at noon on a weekday, and respectability politics. The first time I had wings from here was during my birthday party at spotlight karaoke. The second time was just a regular day. Service was reasonably fast and the wings were a 6/10. Nothing amazing but not terrible. My server was nice. On the way out I noticed this ridiculous sign. Hair covering is actually more sanitary so what's the problem?

The wings and fried rice or so good ! Never tried the boiled seafood but my friends love it ! I could eat the rice and wings everyday

I know nothing about Fat Crab but I sure do love them. They are.out of season now ie. frozen. Jim.

The Food - Zero complaints Not sure how long this place has been there but they seriously nailed the flavor and the consistency of the sauce. I was absolutely 100% pleased with my meal here which included the green mussels, and head-off shrimp (you'd be surprised how many seafood boil places in the area do not have green mussels, so I'd give 5 stars for that alone especially since it was delicious. The Service - we have some work to do... a training perhaps. Luckily our server Kenny carried the rest of the staff, I really appreciated him doing his job plus he's a nice guy so shout out to him. As for the rest of you, I don't think this is rocket science but let me help you out because I like the food here. When patrons walk into your establishment, you greet them!! Everyone stood around and just looked at us as if we walked into their living room or something, don't do that, ok. This is a business and should be run as such. We literally almost left just because if this, why would I have to ask a room full of employees was anyone working and where should we sit. Next time I come, I want to see an improvement in hospitality, hell at least pretend you want to be there. The food here is way to delicious to be overlooked by poor service. Let's fix this promptly so we can continue to support!!

Quite surprised by this hidden gem. The staff is entertaining, there is usually something quite interesting on the televisions and the drinks are top tier. The seafood selection is vast - especially during crawfish season. The sides, sauces and meal selections were nice!There is a mixed crowd and all the patrons have been kind during all of my visits. The decorations were super cute and spot on for a seafood restaurant.

Tell me why I came here on a date and the man was so cheap he didn't even want to buy me the $30 crab legs, but got the nerve to order himself the $28 wings and shrimp fried rice. After asking what I was going to order I let him know the crab legs and he said "they high as hell." If he can't get me something I get myself when I go out with the girls, he ain't the one. Immediate red flag, don't worry he was cut off and ghosted, but I enjoyed the free meal. I was surprised he let me order a drink. Limit was one. Got the skittles for $10, but it was strong. 10/10. Would definitely recommend. Got 1/2 pound of shrimp- boom flavor- with potatoes and corn for $20. I was nervous to ask for extra side of dry rub since Julius jr said he wanted to be a gentleman and order my food for me, but I think it was so I wouldn't order nothing else. The boil was a good 9/10, but dry rub season was a 5/10. I let Julius jr try a shrimp and he enjoyed it so much that after I didn't finish my food and caught him side eyeing my left overs, he asked if I was taking it to go. This basically indicated that if I wasn't, he definitely was. Food tasted just as good the following day when I steamed the left over boil. When it was time to pay, Julius Jr conveniently left his wallet. I was going to pay my own half and leave him there. After some silence of waiting for our server, I thought I was going to have to ask if they had any dishes he could wash in the back for his personal portion, but then he then brought up Apple Pay. He sent me $50 and said to use my card. Luckily the server said they offer Apple Pay and he paid the whole bill himself. He asked me if I was sending the money back, but I conveniently didn't have signal.I would recommend overall for the ambiance, vibe, late hours, and food quality, but honestly I've had better dry rubs which makes a large part of a boil in my personal opinion. Still would come here again, but on a separate occasion. Try them out !

Service started out great. The server greeted us, sat us at a booth and was very polite. I ordered the half dozen raw oysters to start. When they came out it was just oysters on some ice. I asked why it didn't come like the picture on the menu? No horseradish, no cocktail sauce, no lemons, no crackers. The server said he just works there and they didn't have horseradish but had lemons, crackers, hot sauce and asked me if I would like some. He did get me some hot sauce and lemons and a plastic fork. So, I didn't order anymore food paid the tab and left.
