Wild Crab Fort Wayne

This place is a lot like the storming crab. What I liked that is better than the storming crab is that you can add on things to your seafood boil meal. You can add on fries, extra shrimp and sausage, boiled eggs...lots of additions. Market price for the crab, lobster, and snow crab legs was very high but you can get a 1/2 lbs of them for mostly under $20 which was nice to round out a Cajun boil. My wife had a shrimp basket and liked it. The draft beer wasn't available on this trip but bottled was available. Only bottled beer that was not a standard lager was Shock Top. Not much has changed from the original Scotty's brew house. Still has the TVs with sports, huge bar, and same floor layout.

At the suggestion of a coworker, a friend and I decided to try out Wild Crab. We got there around 5PM, and it wasn't super busy. The food was decent, but the service made the entire experience awful. Despite it not being super busy, service was slow and the waiter ended up getting an attitude with us. My friend added hard boiled egg to her combo - it wasn't added. We notified the waiter, and he said he'd make sure to remove it from the bill. During dinner, our waters weren't refilled at all. Our waiter passed by our table several times during the meal - and never stopped to refill water or ask how we were doing. He finally stopped by and asked how our food was after we had already finished eating. We said it was good, but we would like boxes and to order dessert. He said he'd come back. He didn't come back for 15 minutes. He took so long that we asked another waitress if she'd be able to bring us our bill - she did and that's when we saw the egg was never removed. We told her, and she said she'd get it taken care of. She never came back - which I get. We weren't her table. By the time our actual waiter came back, he asked us if we still wanted dessert - we said no and just wanted the bills. He seemed annoyed by this, and said "Ok" with an attitude. He went and got the bills and the egg still wasn't removed. We told him and he once again gave us an attitude as he left to go get it corrected. We finally got the bills, and after TWO HOURS, we could finally leave. I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt - I thought maybe it opened a few months ago. If you don't mind waiting a painfully long time to eat, I guess this place is worth a shot if you want to try a seafood boil. Personally, however, my friend and I have already decided to go elsewhere in the future.

Unfortunately I have to write this review. On business trip and trying something different in Fort Wayne. So steam cajun place it is. Place located next to Goodwill in an empty shopping area with plenty of parking space. Inside, they have big dining area. Almost like used to be a asian buffet or bar dining restaurant. I asked the waiter before ordering. If the Lobster bisque soup using real lobster or not. He said yes. When it came out, all I can taste was "lobster/fish stick" - surimi. The soup also tastes burn and found the clumped powder at the bottom. The fish and shrimp are completely tasteless. Saw other people reviewed. Not even salty, seasoning or taste anything at all. Bland. Same with fries. Only taste the cajun seasoning on top. I was hungry but lost my appetite from all the food. Most people order the steamed mixed cajun in a bag. They might have taste with all the mixed seasoning. Hopefully they can improve next time.

First time here. The apps were good. Sent those awful chicken tenders back. Still the new ones were awful !! Hey, get some different tenders!!!The small shrimp on my dinner were good. The fries were good. Husbands Lobster tail was okay and King Crab he said he would not get it again, just okay. Hell for what the prices are I would expect the food to be top notch. The waiter was very good. The Manager was awesome !! She tried her very best to fix my disaster of a meal. She is an asset to your restaurant !! I would hire her in a heart beat at any eatery. May return but I would really have to think about it ?? I may come because of the manager being so great !!

Mixed experience with this "Cajun" eatery. Good service, very welcoming manager. Fair beer offerings, but nothing special. Most disappointing offering was the oyster po' boy, which was more breading than oysters, nothing like a real N'Orleans version.

Came here craving some fried seafood and wasn't disappointed.Coming from Vegas, I'm no stranger to good food spots. I was hoping I'd find a good place to get fries and seafood, and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality at Wild Crab. The restaurant was moderately empty on a Sunday, with some light pop song remixes playing in the background. It was a large area that felt very clean and well-taken care of. Despite there only being one server, we were attended to fairly quickly and we were always checked on periodically to make sure everything was okay! My boyfriend and I ordered a shrimp/calamari basket, lobster bisque, and a fish po' boy. Everything was hot and fresh, and the cajun fries especially had a nice crunch and flavor. I think the po' boy could have used more sauce, and I consider it the weakest of what we got flavor-wise. Surprisingly, the bisque was really, really good! I'm not usually a fan of it, but this is probably one of the few places that make it in a way I love - it was creamy, savory, and a good amount.We'll come back when we have another seafood craving!

Such a surprise! Would have never checked this place out in a million years unless someone told me to go because it's in a random strip mall but it is a treat! Perfect place for kiddos because Sponge Bob is on the big screen and there are fish hanging everywhere. We were seated right away at 5:30pm on a Friday with no wait and plenty of room to spare. My toddler had specifically asked for "crab and lobster" for his birthday so this seemed like just the right place. Food came out quickly and was delish! I ordered the mild cajun scallops and there were SO MANY scallops! Definitely could not eat them all. Should have ordered more potato and corn, though. Service was friendly and awesome. I'm definitely going to want to go back the next time we're in Fort Wayne.

Had the Shrimp Po boy ,Excellent food. Wife had Octopus and it was excellent also. Service was great and attentive. The decor was very entertaining.

This was my first trip to the Wild Crab. They took over the old Scotty's Brewhouse facility. You won't find to many differences in the decor. Still a large spacious facility with TV's and a bar. The place is clean and comfortable.On this occasion the restaurant were rather empty. Our waitress was professional and friendly. She wasn't over bearing as she didn't have many other responsibilities.We ordered a combo boil with shrimp, crab legs, crawfish, scallops and sausage. We ordered the mild spicy blended House flavors. The mild level has just enough spice for the group that doesn't all have the same preferences. The seasoning was a nice blend of Cajun and milder spices.The hush puppies appetizer was good. There was enough balls for three people. The balls are a bit small. However they were moist and had a sweet corn taste. They were not overly greasy to taste.The restaurant provides all the tools you need for dinner. The bib is good and the wet wipes were definitely appreciated.The seafood was cooked perfectly. The shrimp was tender. The crab legs were sweet to taste. The crawfish was okay as there isn't much meat there but it does suck up the boil spices nicely. The added sausage was excellent and tender. The scallops were okay as you don't get many in half a pound and the boil spice waters down the natural sweet taste. The corn on the cob came out very soggy.This is a fun place to visit with a group. Give it a try.

It looks abandoned and it smells like rotten fish, not fresh fish. :(I think they are trying, I don't want to knock them down, but it's ft Wayne....
