The Blue Crab Crabhouse

Went here with my mother and children at 5pm on a Friday and the experience was flat-out delightful.So why not 5 stars? For one reason, they badly overcooked the peel and eat shrimp. Other than that, it was super delicious, friendly, great for families, and the crab is awesome.The whole place has undergone a recent upgrade, but still feels homey and very down-to-earth. Our server was gracious, patient and kind, as were the rest of the staff we encountered.Other than those shrimp, the food was top notch. Grits, hushpuppies, snow crab, blue crab, and Blue Point Toasted Lager on draft, served well. Add all that up and we left feeling like it was a celebratory meal. Oh, the Caesar salad is crazy good, too.So go have fun at this place. Dress down. Smile. Get messy. It's what this place does best.

Had a lovely quiet dinner at this reopened favorite dining establishment on a Friday night in Mandarin, FL. We arrived and were promptly seated and served drinks by our friendly waitress Susan. Had an excellent appetizer of crab stuffed mushrooms. Susan let us take our time and we enjoyed the 70s music playing and the low noise so we could talk. I ordered steamed oysters and they were perfectly popped and easy to open. Delicious and a bargain @ $20 for 12! Hubby had Red fish w/red potatoes and veg medley with hush puppies. He enjoyed it as it was flavorful and tender. Had an extra bonus of a pearl in my oyster. We really enjoyed this place and the very fair prices.

Crab cakes were a little mushy but flavorful. My lady got snow crab which was difficult to shell because the meat sticks to the shell. The salad and hush puppy were great. Save yourself from ordering the horrible coleslaw. Very clean inside and the service was excellent.

The places looks really good inside & out since they re opened. Our server Hannah was great! We got some blue crabs tonight (hoping that MD style steam crab feel) they were pretty good. They didn't use Old Bay but they were okay. We tried the Crab dip very little amount but it was okay need to throw some old bay or the seasoning they offer in it. The small crackers perfect the other crackers a no go. Drinks on Special Tonight mojitos pretty goodThe menu looks pretty good we will come back to try some different food items.

We absolutely LOVE the Blue CrabMoved to the neighborhood recently and had always wanted to try it after hearing the radio commercials for years. This place did not disappoint. The restaurant is like being time warped back to the 80s when service always friendly and warm and you felt welcomed instead of feeling like you're in someone's house asking to be fed. This place knocks service out of the parkThe food is incredible as well. Not sure what food the negative reviews were eating. The crab cakes are absolutely incredible and the fish and shrimp are just as good. This place has quickly become our favorite place to eat in the area. Let the trendy folks go around the corner for their seafood. I'll take the Blue Crab Crabhouse

Services were beyond great the food was so good i thought i died and went to heaven lol totally recommend. GO EAT HERE YOU WONT REGRET IT

Loved the vibe, the food, and the service was great! We also enjoyed meeting the owner. We ordered the blue crab, stuffed mushrooms (a must!), shrimp soup, and shrimp stream platter. We are excited to come back :)

Wow! I hate to write this review. Reason? I do not want this to become more popular than it is.The food is really good. Starting with my sides...the cole slaw is so fresh not drowned in dressing. The grits are yummy. Then the crab stuffed mushrooms are easy to inhale - buttery, creamy and garlicky. Had the petite shrimp fried. The batter was light and flavorful. My partner had the shrimp and sausage gumbo that was there one moment and gone the next. He got the shrimp steamed tray with clams, sausage, corn and red potatoes. Again it disappeared quick.Then the special Mardi Gras dessert - vanilla bourbon bread pudding. Hmmm. Food coma time!Fun decor! Service exceptional! This is moving to our regular rotation!

This food was great service was just as good ! Crabs were steamed perfectly great seasoning ! Cream of crab was delicious. Owners are very nice . We will definitely be back !

This was my first time here. I had the mussels app, a small order of crab legs for dinner, and the chocolate cake. The seafood was pretty delicious and the staff were super nice. The cake was also pretty good. I had hush puppies, green beans (veggie of the day), and red potatoes as the sides; while the hush puppies were tasty, the potatoes were under-seasoned and I was disappointed the veggie of the day were canned green beans (also under-seasoned). If you're in the mood for seafood, this is a great option; just don't put too much into the sides.
