The Twisted Crab

Food was good, but incorrectly priced and a very small portion.The staff wasn't. Wry experienced. The girl served our table of 6 by placing all the food and drinks at one end of the table then walking away. Lol

Took the nephews here for lunch, while I was in town. 1 absolutely loves crab legs and the other is allergic. He ordered a pound of crab legs and ate them all without uttering a word. The other and I ordered chicken of course 2 different flavors and both were great. I friendly portion and flavorful. Personally I'm not a fan of crab boils unless I'm in my yard, but this place had a lot to offer everyone

I don't think I can say enough good things about this place! The food was AMAZING, the seafood was cooked perfectly and the sauce you dip it in is bomb!You can get Cajun sauce, lemon pepper, garlic butter, creole or the twisted sauce. The twisted sauce is all of the sauce mixed together which that's what I get! You can get no spice, mild, hot or super hot and I got mild it wasn't spicy at all. We ordered this meal to go and brought it home to eat. We got 1lb of shrimp with head off, 2 clusters crab legs, 1/2lb crawfish, 1 lobster tail, potatoes and corn and it was $55 which this fed my family of 3:) for the amount of food and how good it was it is so worth it!! I want it every day now lol. I walked into the inside to pick up my food and you can tell it is brand new! It is decorated like a boat with wood floors and walls with nautical decor. Can't wait to go and eat inside!

I have been to a few different of the Cajun seafood restaurants that are popping up everywhere. Been to Lakeland, Tampa and Orlando similar places but the Twisted Crab was by far the best of them all! The flavors were perfect! I ordered a combo of 1/2 pound snow crab, 1/2 pound headless shrimp, 1/2 pound sausage with two pieces of corn and potatoes in the garlic butter sauce. Cheung greeted me and seated me immediately. Brought my drink order out with a bowl of freshly buttered popcorn to munch on while waiting.I didn't have long to wait... my food was brought out and it smelled amazing! It looked amazing as well! The crab weren't little tiny things, they were very meaty and cooked to perfection. The shrimp and the potatoes were perfect. Corn was a little chewy but it always comes out that way if it was frozen corn to begin with. Someone in another review mentioned the sausage was too smoky tasting. It did have a smoky flavor but it wasn't too strong... just added another element of flavor. I ate what I could (of course the crab is all gone) and still have another meal of leftovers!I will be back again!!!

I don't know why this place has 4 stars.. maybe friends and family? Ate lunch here and at 1230 it's just me and one other customer here, not a good sign. I ordered the catfish basket with corn, it was mediocre at best. Service was slooow! She was very nice, but not attentive at all. I gave it two stars instead of one because she was nice.

We have been to this restaurant 3 times since moving back to Auburndale. My husband got the oyster basket and i got the shrimp basket. Nicely done..decent sized shrimp and tasty. Service was impeccable. Paul is just attentive enough to make sure you need anything or not but is not overly pushy like at some places. Last time we got their BOGO of steamed shrimp to go and i must say the shrimp were done perfectly. So many places either over good or undercook shrimp. Today we got their special. It was soooo amazing. 5 lbs of seafood for $65!! you just can't beat that. 1 lb. headless shrimp (or head on if you want) 1 lb crab 1 lb black mussels 1 lb crawfish 1 lb sausage. plus you get 4 corn on the cob halves and 4 small potatoes. Everything was again done to perfection. I have had many southern or low country boils etc. but these outdid them all. We took half of it home! Again Paul made sure we had everything we needed and at perfect intervals. It takes a lot to impress me especially with seafood. Twisted Crab has easily reached my 5 star level!.

Food is way too expensive! I now understand why i was the only one in the restaurant. Competitors are at least $15 cheaper for a seafood boil. On top of that it tastes better and has better customer service.

This restaurant is my favorite here. My family and I come here almost every week. Yesterday we ordered coconut shrimp and boiled seafood. It was delicious. The service was also very good. The environment was elegant. I like coming here very much.

When my wife and my daughter and I walked into the restaurant at 7 PM, we were the only people in there. I wanted to walk out my wife said let's try. It was the most horrible food. My wife and daughter had the calamari basket and I had the crabcake basket. All horrible I would not recommend it.

The food was good but both my husband and I got sick after eating it. Running to the bathroom left and right. I'm not sure what happened, but it was good when we ate it.
